Alvina’s Tailor Shop

My prior seamstress retired and I searched for someone who was as skilled as she had been. I had several unsuccessful experiences while I sought her replacement. I went to Alvina because she was in the neighborhood. I was pleasantly surprised that Alvina was both skilled and caring about her customers and their needs. You will not find anyone who is better at this job. I am very particular and she meets my high standards, again and again. You will not be disappointed in her services and also her caring demeanor.

I found Alvina’s through Unilocal.I brought in a tuxedo that was several sizes too big for my son. They got the job done on time. They did what they said they were going to do. The tux turned out great. She even knew he was still going to grow so left a little room for that. She tried to keep my son in mind while working. I felt like she treated the job like she was doing a job for her family. The shop is clean; everyone was friendly and welcoming. I usually don’t use a tailor so I have no idea if the price is comparable. I will use Alvina’s again if the needs comes up.

Alvina and Melody are not only talented at what they do, they are also so very thoughtful! I took a difficult silk jumpsuit in that had to be totally reconstructed. Not only does it now fit beautifully, it was completely altered and ready much earlier than expected. Melody was determined, that even in spite of prom and wedding timing, she wanted to complete the jumpsuit so it would be ready for an upcoming trip we were taking the following week. I wasn’t counting on having it because of the degree of alterations needed and was fine with their estimated completion time. Melody and Alvina called the day before we were leaving to say it was ready! Amazing and so over and above expectations! They are reasonable and very skilled-​they do excellent, quality work and are professional and friendly. Highly recommend them for all your sewing needs. They had previously done two lettermans and quoted a much more reasonable cost than other shops and did a great job on those, as well! Their shop is bright and clean and their location is conveniently right off of 281. So grateful for Alvina’s!

Alvina is fantastic! I ran in last minute with a dress that needed alterations. She did a beautiful job in a very short time. Her shop is cute and clean and everyone is friendly. I will definitely be back! Check her out!

Alvina’s is fantastic! I brought in 4 pairs of jeans and they were all done to perfection. The lengths were all correct, they matched the thread color, and they were able to be done by when I needed them. If you plan on wearing any garment with heels or dress shoes, I would definitely suggest bringing them with you. They only accept cash or check, and payment is due when you drop off your items. This slight inconvenience is totally negated by how reasonable the prices are! The only reason I’m only giving them 4 stars is because I haven’t brought in anything complicated yet. I do plan on taking in a blouse that needs to be brought in a bit so I’ll update after I see how that works out.
