Susie Thai Alterations II

I owe Susie Thai a 5+ star review. This happened almost 2 years ago and I needed my wedding dress altered. Superb job, my dress was fairly simple with minimal decoration but it was heavy as heck, and I believe with wedding dress there’s a bit extra pressure to do it. I can’t thank you Susie Thai enough.

Emily did a great job accommodating my last minute hem I needed for a pair of slacks during my friends wedding day. For a reasonable price ($ 15 for last minute), she had my pants ready in an hour. Emily was super nice and will be coming back for more alterations.

I called here on a Thursday and told her I needed a pair of suit pants altered for a wedding on that Saturday. She was able to accommodate my request and the prices were super reasonable! I don’t think she even charged me to rush them. The quality of work was pretty good and they were ready when quoted! I was hesitant at first because it’s not located in the best area (as you can tell by the bars on the windows), but with all of the great reviews on Unilocal I figured I should give it a shot. I’m glad I did. Overall, if I need something altered last minute again I would come back here.

Way over priced! Bought my dress at a local bridal shop and was searching for a better deal for alterations. The bridal place quoted me for $ 185 for a hem and this place quoted me for $ 350! What a rip off! Got beautiful work done at another place down the street for only $ 65. Watch your wallet!

I just got my suit back from Susie Thai Alterations II, and I am happy with both the pricing, and the quality of work.
Emily was very courteous, and flexible. She knows her craft, and demonstrates that fact!
I will return here with all my tailoring needs. Best of all, this shop is 2mins from my house!

Was not as pleased with the alteration I had done as all the other Unilocal reviews. Minor alterations may be okay, better than trying to do it yourself.

Awesome service! I had a pair of pants that needed to be hemmed for my xmas party the next day and call here and the l;ady told me to bring them in and they were done the same day in an hour. and they are perfect! And for 12 bucks it was awesome! I would def recommend here and I will for sure be coming back!!!

I can’t put into words how awesome Emily’s work. I needed my suit tailored to me and gosh did she do a great job, took just less than a week for a fair price and it came out just how I wanted it. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get some clothes altered.

Ok I hate writing bad reviews, but I feel I would be doing a disservice to my fellow Unilocalers. I had searched Unilocal for a place to have my bridesmaid dress altered for my bffs wedding coming up this weekend. I brought my dress along with a dress for work to Susie. I didn’t have my shoes yet so I went out and bought these beautiful silver shoes to wear with this dress, final sale shoes FYI, and tried the dress on with my shoes before she did any alterations. So Susie had my dress for about a week and when I went to pick it up, she told me to try both dresses on. My work dress was perfect! She did a great job, but my bridesmaid dress, not so much.
She hemmed it way too short and it was not the length she had measured when we were looking at how much to shorten it by. Also, the back was shorter than the front. I was really upset! I just spent $ 53 on shoes for this dress and now it was too short for the shoes with no extra fabric to un-​hem it. I had to go back out and find another pair of shoes to now where with the dress! Not happy. I told her I wanted my money back.
She did return my money but she accidentally charged me again, $ 75, instead of refunding me therefore almost overdrawing my account as I wasn’t paid yet. Then finally refunded $ 150. She didn’t argue with the refund at all which was good.
I will bring my items to her still because I believe overall she does a good job for a good price. I mean the dress for work she did was great. Plus she didn’t argue or fight with what I wanted, my money back.

Don’t see why everyone is so high on this place. I had small alterations on three pairs of pants and a jacket and the price came out to $ 70! Unexpected. She had a week to do my alterations and she wasn’t there when the shop was supposed to open at 8:30.
The alterations weren’t fully complete and I was forced to wait and be late to work. Clothes fit better but not satisfied with the price, value, or lack of professionalism in getting the alterations completed on time. My suit wasn’t even dry cleaned when she said it would be.

I had 2 pairs of pants hemmed — one of which I needed within a couple of days for a wedding. She nicely accommodated me and had both pants completed at the same time (& they looked great).
The only negative was that I’d brought the pants in on nice thick hangers; but when I picked them up, they were on wire hangers with a piece of cardboard over the area the pants would be sitting on so as not to form a line in the fabric from the wire. Not a huge deal (I didn’t bother to even mention it to her because I really appreciated the quick turnaround), and I only mention it so others might either bring their clothes on hangers they wouldn’t mind not getting back, or specifically request the same hangers be returned.

This is why I love Unilocal… finding great places like this when you would normally ignore it otherwise if you were driving down!
Okay, this place isn’t in the best of neighborhoods, but Susie Thai Alterations does it right.
I’ve had at least 6 – 7 dress shirts altered… shortening the sides, the arms… a few pant shortening and I have absolutely no complaints. The lady that works there is professional, fair, and her work is BEAUTIFUL! I have never had an issue with something not coming out right. I’ve been to a few other places, and Susie Thai Alternations is the best… they have never said no to anything. MAGIC!
Prices are lower than most, and very fair. She even rushed a few of my items at no charge :) Thank you!

Susie did a custom job for one of my Jerseys which was oversized. She did a great job at the neck line and I don’t even notice the seam work. Highly recommend her for custom work. Polite, quick, solid work. Emie’s did not even try to get it done. Thank you Susie!

Haven’t found a better shop in SD yet, very professional and top quality work done each time. Been visiting and recommending Susie’s for over 8 years now, have never had an issue.

My fiancé needed a quick turn around for three uniforms, because he needed it to go to work by Tuesday. We dropped it off Saturday morning and were able to pick it up by 10AM Monday. Her seams are clean, and her work is excellent! We will be coming here for all our alterations from now on.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Unilocal for introducing me to Susie Thai Alterations. There are very few things more terrifying for a woman than handing your wedding dress over to someone you just met to do alterations, but all of my fears proved unfounded. I could not be happier with the final product. The sweet woman who works here not only had to hem 4 layers (1 lace!!!), but add a bustle, sew in cups, and take in the shoulders of my 2-​sizes-​too-​big dress. What a nightmare! I worried when my total for the alterations was less than the price of the dress (I’ll just say that I received the discount of my lifetime on that one) — but two fittings and a month and a half later, I could not be happier with the final product. I highly recommend this little gem of a store for any wedding-​dress needs.

I went in to get some measurements taken and Susie was extremely nice and helpful. My grandma had been going to her for a few years before she passed away. I remember she only had good things to saw about her work, so I decided to try her out today.
There was no wait and she got what I needed done right a way. And charged me an very reasonable price. I am definitely planning on going to her next time I need alterations.

I had a skirt that I plan to wear to a NYE party, but it needed to be shortened from the top. I take my regular items that need to be hemmed to Ly’s Alterations, but she can only do straight hems. So I turned to Unilocal,and found Susie Thai.
I took my skirt in, told her what I wanted, she measured it, and gave me a date to pick it up. When I picked it up, she had done an amazing job on it, it was done perfectly, and I’ll take the rest of my skirts in that need to be shortened from the top sometime next year.
If I could give six stars, I would, but Unilocal only goes up to five.

I will go with the flow with everyone else and give this place a 5 stars.
I always go with Susie Thai for alterations on shortening my pants or fixing tears and such.
I have always had my clothes ready and on time and the staff has always been nice.

I was looking for a last minute tailor to make some quick alterations and found this page of good reviews. I figured since everyone seemed so happy with her that I would go ahead and entrusted her with my custom made jersey that I needed altered and for game day within 24 hours.
The fitting was quick and easy and I was able to come grab it the next morning. The alterations only cost $ 15 on short notice and the jersey fit perfectly. I am one very satisfied customer.
