Alterations & More

She is a very nice women who knows her stuff. I have a halter dress that was to big around the neck and breast area and she made it fit just right and on short notice. I will go to her again.

I had a wool coat altered by Shami. Excellent work quality. She did a fantastic job. The price and wait period were reasonable. I will definitely come back.

I should have done my homework :(I took my bridesmaids dress to be fitted and shortened. She charged me 195.00 to make it way too tight around the boobs, didn’t tighten it enough on the halter and made it shorter in the front. I was very lucky to find someone to fix it and I asked how much they would have charged for the same service… $ 55 dollars!!! The other alteration lady said if she had just taken it in to her original chalk marks it would have been fine. Plus the zipper was weak and the clasps were bad. Everything I asked her to fix I had to pay someone else to do it afterwards. Again I got lucky and the entire fix was only 20 dollars but I’m still out the original $ 195 dollars!!! Wtf!

The woman working here is super sweet! I brought in my dress a few days before NYE to get it hemmed (I know, last minute) and she was able to do it in two days! She was even nice to clean off the makeup I had accidentally gotten on it while trying the dress on. It was a white dress and some of my foundation had gotten on it. When I got the dress back, I couldn’t even tell where the stain was. I would definitely come back due to the amazing service and work.

The ladies here are great! I don’t mind driving to Modesto from Manteca for their services. They’re fast, quality work, and decently priced.

Due to a drunken mishap, I had slightly messed up the mesh overlay on a dress I had borrowed from a friend. The thread was slightly pulled in several spots and was definitely noticeable upon a close inspection.
Normally I would have conceded to my friend, apologize, and buy her another dress. Unfortunately the one I had borrowed was a $ 900 Dolce & Gabbana creation that everyone from Lauren Conrad to Khloe Kardashian has been seen in. There was no way I could have gotten her another dress.
I took the dress to several different alteration/​sewing shops around the area, however they all told me there was nothing they could do. The mesh was so delicate and any tampering could misshape it even more. My last stop was Alterations. They took on the task, although they did mention it would be difficult. They even called me afterward to ask for an extra day to work on it.
When I picked it up four days later, there was definite improvement. There was still a hint of snag but it was not as bad as before. They even discounted the price for me by ten dollars. I would have given them five stars however the environment of the shop (not to mention the location) leaves much to be desired. I felt very, very uneasy in having such an expensive dress wait in a clothing rack so close to the entrance of the shop.
Overall however, I was very grateful for them taking on the job and doing their very best in reducing the amount of snag in the mesh. I will definitely call on them again (hopefully not for anything involving drunken mishaps anymore).

Very unprofessional. Took 2 pairs of pants to get patched up and rather then have them use a patch i brought in my own fabric and was charged $ 50 for both jeans. I was told it was a custom project that is why it was soo much… Are you kidding me for a simple patch job… Never would i go back here, a total scam

Unfortunately my Mother did not meet and fall in love with some 6 foot something man, this shows in my whopping 5 foot frame! Grrr… Because of this, I have to have my pants hemmed pretty often. (Unless I happen to score some ankle length at Macy’s). This shop is great! The ladies are totally sweet, and their work is of great quality. Nothing worse than having pants that scream ’”I’ve been ALTERED!!”. I’m actually going to take a dress in to see if they can work some magic on the straps. The woman was excited when I told her I’m getting married, apparently they work wonders on bridal alterations, and for a decent price. Bonus points for calling me when I left a brand new pair of pants in there for oh like 3 months. Aye!
