A-Z Alterations

Great service & Great Work, would definitely recommend.

We used A-​Z Alterations for my wedding gown and she did a fabulous job!

I was pining over a Veda leather jacket that had been sold out since winter of last year. It was extremely expensive and impossible to find. So when I finally found one on eBay I had to purchase it! Unfortunately, it was one size too big. I usually take my leathers to a different seamstress but because this was my dream jacket I wanted the tailoring to be perfect! I asked around to friends who have had high-​end clothing altered and I was told to go to A to Z.
I brought my jacket in and explained to her I wanted it to fit like a glove and I also needed it in less than one week to wear to a wedding. She was so friendly and sweet, especially to my one year old who wanted to play with all her equipment. She fit me and even though she was super busy she said she would work on it overtime so that I would have it in time for the wedding.
I picked up the jacket and when I tried it on I couldn’t believe how amazing the fit was! Her attention to detail was incredible! I think I actually squealed! Bottom line, she is super sweet, her work is impeccable and I am now a customer for life!
I should also mention she charged $ 200 to do the alteration which I believe is a fair price for the quality and time she puts into her work. I called two places before calling her and they quoted me about $ 120 to $ 150. She was a little pricier but she also had to hem the sleeves, take out the lining so she could creat a new seam down the back to tighten it, and altered the side seams as well. I feel I could have saved $ 50 going somewhere else but I know for a fact the quality and fit would not have been nearly as good!

She does good work, but I had a few issues. I went to her for a wedding dress alteration. Here are my takes:
One, she was really hard to understand. Not so much of an issue in person, but she called me several times for appointments and I’d get off the phone not knowing what I had agreed to.
Two, She works on her own time. She has business hours, but when I tried to make a few appointments she’d tell me that she likes to sleep in or didn’t want to work that day. She also called me to reschedule appointments a few times. And when she called, she gave me some options of when to come, I’d tell her when I wanted to come, but then she said that wouldn’t work for her. So basically I had to pick the time she wanted me to come. Ugh.
Three, its NOT cheap. I had some simple alterations compared to most wedding dresses and I ended up spending more on the alterations that the DRESS ITSELF!!!
Four, she does do a good job. Even though it was $$$$ and a pain to deal with at times, I’m happy with how the dress turned out.

Very nice lady, makes you feel comfortable. She is understanding and knows just what to do with your clothes. The only downfall, she’s expensive! She claims she’s giving a discounted price, but just a simple hem of jeans is $ 15 – 25. Taking off some length on a summer dress cost $ 35. Adding cups in a swimsuit top, $ 25. I’m looking forward to getting my items back, because of the other great reviews, I know my clothes will look great, but at those prices (my total was well over $ 300 for basic clothes, nothing formal or too fancy), I can’t bear to pay those prices again. Loved working with her, but the prices hurt. For formal wear, go to her! For basic, everyday clothes, I feel she’s too expensive.

This place is phenomonal at making alterations, especially for wedding gowns. First off, I unintentionally bought my dress in a size 12 and needed her to turn it into a size 8. She did such an amazing job that I was able to take it home on the first alteration. What she did: took in the sides, which is really difficult because of the rouching and lace appliqué, shorten the straps, trimmed/​hemmed the entired dress from long flowing A-​line to mermaid style. I highly recommend her if you plan on having your wedding dress altered. Also, I dropped off my dress on Dec. 14^th and she had it ready by Jan. 26^th. I have posted pics for your viewing pleasure.

I am completley impressed with this alteration place! Long story short, I bought a dress online for a huge event and of course I got it overnighted with the date about 5 days away. I try it on, it’s too big. I called the next morning to exchange it for a small and they said they were sold out of my size. I was frantic and I thought what am I going to do? I looked at other alterations places but I decided on this one. I figured since she has experience with wedding dresses, I could trust her with my dress! I called Tuesday morning, and left a message, the lady called me back the same day around 4:00 and told me she would be there until 6. I flew over after work, got it fitted and asked if I could have it done by Friday. She was sooo sweet and so helpful she had it done on time and yes it did fit like a glove! I think her name is Azita or something like that. But wow, if you have a dress that needs to be altered, she is your best bet! I did think it was expensive though, having never really altered anything in my life… but let’s just say it cost more than the dress. But I’m so pleased with the work that I am going to wear it for different occasions!

I can agree… her work is immaculate.
When I found my wedding dress it was the last one, it was on clearance, and it was too big (by a lot). I loved the dress so much that I bought it. I really wanted to change the neckline from a straight across strapless to a sweetheart, but David’s Bridal wouldn’t change the design, so I started shopping around. With all the layers and the beading everyone was quoting me at $ 600-​$ 700. Then my friend told me about the place she just took her dress too (she did a ton a major changes) and said it was a more reasonable price. I saw her before and after photos and was stunned.
I took my dress in and got it taken in about 2 full sizes the first time, then since I lost some weight had it taken in another size. Had the neck line changed to a sweetheart, had the length shortened, and had a bustle put in. My dress has about 4 layers that had to be altered and she hand placed the lace and beading for the new neckline, and on top of that she said some of the beads were loose so she tacked them back down. All for $ 375. I was amazed! Now my dress fits like a glove and I am ready for my wedding in 18 days!!!

I’m so very happy and impressed with this woman’s work. I bought my wedding dress off the rack in San Francisco and needed some MAJOR alterations — it needed to be taken in a few sizes; needed to be more mermaid-​shaped; converted from cap sleeved to strapless, sweetheart neckline; hemline had to be changed; bustle created; and a lace strap needed to be created in back for support (due to the low back). And all these things needed to be done to a beaded lace dress! I had 2 fittings and she was so sweet throughout the entire experience. I looked at 3 other places in the area before coming here, but I felt I could trust her the most with my dress, plus she gave the best price. I will definitely come back if I need any future tailoring with other items.

This woman’s work is immaculate and she has a fairly quick turnaround for projects. I highly recommend her, even for the most difficult projects.

I’ve been cursed with a short, round body. So unfortunately buying pants can be quite difficult. They’re always too long. My solution for this in high school and college were to cut them off myself and run around with frayed bottoms. Then I got a professional job and realized it was time to dress like a grown up.
Thus A-​Z Alterations to the rescue. Unfortunately I have no idea what this lady’s name is, but she’s very friendly!
I’ve brought in lots of pants for shortening and she once altered one of my shirts and everything has always come back perfect. Her turn around time is a couple of days, but I think she’ll take rush projects.
Prices depend on the project, and I think they’re quite reasonable. I can’t remember exact amounts, but I know it’s cheaper than where my friend takes her pants in Chicago haha.
