Nadias Alterations

I have been using Nadia for years for hemming pants, a couple of months ago my fiancée had patches sewn onto a jacket, and this month I had my bridal gown altered.
Nadia’s work is always fabulous and her prices are reasonable. She always explains the job and gives a cost for the work before you leave. She sets a tentative date for pick up and the work has always been completed when I return.
I have read a review that commented on her being rude. I must say that I have never found Nadia to ever be rude. She is very straightforward and not a chatterbox, perhaps someone interpreted this as being rude. She is a great seamstress. My wedding dress looks and fits amazing; it was not an easy job, it had many layers with lots of beadwork.
I would highly recommend Nadia!

Nadia is the best tailor I’ve found for business/​professional clothes in the Pioneer Valley. Both the button-​down shirts I brought her were finished in less than two days– perfectly shaped to me with no crooked seams in sight. My bill was $ 55. Substantially more expensive than Arif’s behind Maple Farms, but absolutely worth it for the quality of product. I’ll be bringing the rest of my work attire next week: slacks, shirts, and vests.
Other notes:
Her shop is really cute, though the protocol is a little weird. Ring the doorbell and wait for her to call you in, basically.
This shop is cash only. She does take deposits, which is nice – I only had $ 20 on me when I brought in my shirts, and she let me pay the remainder of my bill when I picked everything up.

I have been going to Nadia for almost 5 years. I had to hunt her down when she change locations. Nadia is Excellent at everything that any clothing repair or alteration needed. She even designs wedding dresses. Very talented.
However she is not a Business major or expert in business. I have told her over and over again to get her business listed in the Northampton business listings under clothing repair and alterations at least, plus a web site. She finally got her son to do it. So it’s true she doesn’t have a good bookeeping system of who paid and who didn’t, that’s why she charges up front because several people had her do big jobs and never paid for it. Nadia came here with nothing except her son and built her business one by one. She managed to get her son through a good engeneering collage and he is doing very well for himself. So I give Nadia 5 Stars for being a great human being, excellent mother and excellent seemstress.
As far as the complaints about payment issues the fact is Nadia has been ripped off to many time’s by trusting people to be honest but were not. This is the reason she makes people pay cash at time of repair. She is very reasonable for the Excellent work she does. I hope this explains all the other comments.
Nadia is someone you can trust and rely on.

First, the good…
— My bridesmaid dress was altered well
— the place was clean and spacious
The bad…
She doesn’t take credit card, and she requires payment with drop off. As a result, I left my dress and my husband dropped off a check at another time. When I picked up the dress, she told me she never received the check, yet I had seen it cashed in my bank statement. I ended up having to drive all the way home, print out the statement, and drive back to prove the alterations were paid for already, which was frustrating in itself but made even more frustrating that I was departing for the wedding that day, which was in PA! My name is on the check and my husband explained the situation. She even stated that she remembered «a bald guy» and a little girl coming in, yet she didn’t remember the check!!! Very unprofessional. She needs to mark paid BEFORE depositing her checks or she just should not take in the clothing without payment if she is not organized enough to mark paid.

I’ve been using Nadia for a few years now. Most recently, she altered my wedding dress (on a pretty tight schedule), & she did an excellent job. She’s also done much smaller alterations for me. Her price is always reasonable, & she always makes an effort to get the job done in a timely way. She’s on a small list of businesspeople in Northampton that I trust & recommend.

Nadia’s work is excellent. She is thorough and honest about her work throughout the process of any project, big or small. Will be going to her again in the future.

I cannot comment on Nadia’s actual alterations because she was so rude to me that I actually just walked out of the store. There was no reason for her to be so rude, if she didn’t want to or couldn’t make the alterations, that’s all she had to say.
She most definitely does not get my recommendation.

I was told about Nadia’s Alternations by a colleague. Every pair of pants I buy have to be hemmed because I’m so short. She is courteous, fast, efficient, respectful. On one occasion I brought a silk jacket in to have the collar repaired. She turned it inside out and showed me that there was a lot of fraying along the seams on the shoulder. I told her to go ahead and do what she could to fix it. When I picked the jacket up she had reinforced ALL the seams beautifully at no extra charge! Nadia is a treasure! Highly recommended.

My experience with Nadia’s Alterations was limited, but I wanted to share nonetheless. I had a problem with a loop of thread in the middle of a section of fabric on some nice wool dress pants. Apparently this is pretty common and she had a tool to fix it. It took her only about 2 minutes, she was very pleasant and she refused to accept payment.
Maybe this is normal for very minor alterations or fixes, but I thought you should know. Give her some business.
