Kathy Alterations

I think I found my forever seamstress. Last year I had a dress (for a wedding) that needed some alterations and she’s nothing short of amazing. I will using her services fairly soon and probably as long as I live in dfw area. I recommend for dresses, bring your shoes that you plan on wearing, and also your undergarments (i.e. spanx, corsets, waist clenchers etc.). She needs to be able to get an accurate measurement for the day of the occasion. This also can be used for slacks and tops, just take sure you have everything you need to try on. Also be clear with your deadline. Don’t give her a time frame give her an actual date when you need it. She will write it down. If you have multiple garments in need of alterations, I would have this done as far in advance as possible.

Went to Kathy after reading the great reviews. She is very good. Extremly detailed and honest. I took my african dress there and she did a great job. I would definitely recommend her, she is not cheap — but you get what you paid for.

Took about 7 different items to get tailored on a Monday. She told me 3 of the items would be ready within that week and the rest by the next week. The next week came and I had still not heard back from her. I finally called to check the status of my items a week later and she informed me that she has just barely started working on the items she was supposed to have finished the week before. At this point I told her to go ahead and finish what she had started but to leave the other items and that I would take those items somewhere else. This place is fairly expensive and for the prices she charges she should be able to complete the tailoring when she says she will be able to. Will never come back and would not recommend this place at all! She charged $ 35 to tailor a vest, $ 25 for a shirt, and $ 20 for a pair of slacks!

Awesome! If you ever need alterations, go see Kathy. She’s detailed and very sweet. She’s been there for about 7 years and she will look out for you and make sure you’re walking out looking awesome!

Kathy is fantastic. We have been going here since we moved to Las Colinas and find her to be the best and cheapest alteration place around.

I am so glad I found Kathy’s shop. The Velcro on my tonneau cover on my pickup came loose from the vinyl. She was able to sew it back on and did an excellent job!

I had a bolero made for me by a Nigerian tailor, which I will not name. I showed her the style that I wanted and she even drew it out. The drawing she did matched the photo and I felt comfortable enough for her to sew it for me. I bought the material and gave it to her to sew. She said it would be ready next week. I felt that would give her ample time to complete it. Next week comes around and I pick up the bolero only to find that it looked nothing like the picture. This Nigerian so called tailor made this the day of and just rushed the process of sewing. It looked so horrible. There was no way I was going to wear that bolero… with my WEDDING DRESS!!! I was panicking because I was leaving for Houston in 2 days. I called tailors all over Irving and none of them could fix the bolero until I came across Kathy. I took my botched bolero to Kathy and she said she could do it. She was even surprised at the work the Nigerian tailor did. She said «it looks like something you put on a toy». I couldn’t agree with her more. Kathy took the bolero apart and created a masterpiece. She came to the rescue and made a beautiful bolero. She didn’t even have to take my measurements or draw the picture. The Nigerian tailor is NOT an experience tailor at all. There were so many things that she did wrong it’s unreal. Kathy IS an experienced tailor who knows her craft and takes pride in it. Thank you Kathy for your kindness and help! I will never forget what you did for me :)

Made a derisive comment about a Mexican girl while I was there and then she wanted to charge me $ 140 to alter 7 shirts. I took it up the street to Angel & Moore and they did the same shirts for literally half the price, a little over $ 70.
I do not recommend this place.

You can’t do better than Kathy — from jeans to gowns, I have never had such reliable and excellent alterations. And did I mention fast turnarounds? She is wonderful! WooHoo!

This is the place to go for all your alterations! Fast, friendly and she keeps the original hemming!

I take all my designer jeans here. She does original hemming and does it correctly. Here is her website:
