Ann’s Tailor & Alterations

BEWARE!!! Do not go here!!! This woman is ridiculously priced. She charged me $ 167 for uncomplicated alterations on a dress. The seller of the dress, Chloe Dao, was only going to charge me $ 55 on a rush order for the exact same alterations. I made the mistake of thinking I could do better than $ 55 and ended up paying more than half of what the dress cost. When I told her how upset I was, she could have cared less. She was even smug!

I would choose elsewhere if you are looking for a tailor. I’ve heard good things about her clothing alterations so I took an expensive pair of drapes here. Read the other comments, the date she guarantees will not be the date they are ready. I went on that date, which she gave me, to pick up, and she hadn’t even started on them. I was very disappointed because I had to go out of my way to pick them up then had to go again to pick them up when they were ready. She did a decent job, but she doesn’t understand English very well and I will not be taking anything else to her. She is also super expensive.

This place is terrible. She ruined all the beautiful new pants I left with her. She doesn’t pin them, just grabs where they need taking in and says she knows what to do. Then she wanted to charge me to fix them! Never pay up front! This lady’s work is a nightmare!!!

Ann does an amazing job. I go to her to have things taken in as well as taken back out. She sometimes runs behind on her alterations and it’s not made in time. This is why you have to go way ahead of time.
I’ve had a pair of Acne jeans from Barney’s and the way she hems them is amazing! I go to her for all of my alterations. It can get pricey. I brought in a dress with multiple layers of tulle and the alterations cost more than the dress did. So if you bring in a dress with lots of layers remember that she charges per layer.
Ann is funny but quiet. Also ask if you can bring your dog in. I have brought my cocker spaniel in several times because Ann says dogs are good luck.

My husband and I have been using Ann’s for years. She is not cheap. She is good. We moved to the suburbs 3 years ago and we come into town for alterations.

Ann sews wonderfully! I love the way she hems the jeans where it seems like it was just bought.
She is careful in making sure the fit is just right.
Even though she does a wonderful job, I learned my lesson to make sure I want my items the day before. So if I wanted it on Sat, I ask for it on Fri to be picked up.

I was not impressed at ALL. I walked in with about 5 items to get altered and only chose this place because it was down the street from where I lived. She sent me to a dressing room to put on my clothes. I assume that when you start with one customer, you finish that customer before jumping to another. However, another customer walked in 15 minutes after I did and she went straight to her dressing room to take care of her. It took forever because she kept going back and forth from each dressing room. Not the best when you talk about customer service. THEN, she wanted to charge me $ 40.00 to take in a mini skirt. The skirt cost me $ 39.90 to buy! You mean to tell me it costs just as much to take in the skirt as it does to make the whole thing? I ended up taking my things elsewhere where I had great fast service and all 5 items cost $ 100.00. Will not be going back here again.

I have used Ann’s now for several alterations, and I must say she has done everything well. The fit is always spot on, and the quality of the sewing is excellent. I find Ann to be funny and helpful. When she moves the hem on jeans, they are perfect. I would trust her with any job, large or small.

I always get my dress slacks and jeans altered here. And if you buy designer jeans and dress slacks you want to go to a place where you can trust them to do a good job. She does a GREAT job. It’s a little pricey, but their rates are pretty consistent with the area that they are in. I’ve checked elsewhere. I’ve even heard that when she gets backed up with customers she’s known, on occasion, to deliver to customers’ homes (free of charge) at times. Ultimately if you want the job done well come here. I’m very satisfied with them and I’d recommend them to anyone.

I will never step foot in here again. I dropped
by because it is convenient to where I live. Went to instyle and aka, so decided to get my pants from barneys hemmed as well as two dresses fixed (a small hole in each from moving).
The lady measured my pants which I specifically asked to be made long. She said the original hem for «expensive» pants costs more. Then the fabric of my dresses were complicated and cost more. I was skeptical but in a hurry and didnt mind supporting a small business. Plus for the area I expected to pay more. but $ 60???
I return in a week, when she said shell be done. She’s sitting, eating food and said «oh its not ready! Come back in 20 min.» I say ok… and see her grab the pants to hem. I come back, thank her and take my things and leave.
When I get home, dresses arent even fixed (not even attempted) and pants are too short. I complain and they play dumb.
I go to a small store in bellaire and they fix everything for $ 30. WTF
