Seams To Be Alterations

omg she said it would be done on the 25 of January and now she hasn’t even fixed it she oh no February 5 when that whole time we were there and she said ok January 25 will be done we couldn’t haven’t done because the wedding is in California that week so she pushed it to today which is the 30 of January. I got my dress today and was I amazed? yes! I love how they did it.

Chhuy and her staff are awesome! I recently visited her looking for a second opinion after receiving a huge quote on alterations needed for my wedding dress from another alterations shop. My dress was ordered 4 sizes too large by the bridal boutique I purchased it from on accident. My wedding is in Feb so this leaves us no time to reorder my dress in the correct size. My dress needs an extensive amount of work to fit properly. Chhuy accomplished this for half the price the other company quoted me! She had the entire bodice and straps done in less than a week. She did a beautiful job. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to use her services. Thank you so much!

I went here to get my uniform hemmed last week. The owner I believe was charging me $ 18 which was reasonable because I went to other tailors and they were going to charge me $ 25. I didnt have enough money on the spot to pay for the job the owner was kind enough to take in my dress and have me pay her on friday on my pay day, except she wouldnt be done with the uniform until next monday. I agreed and I came back that friday to pay her, she actually finished the job and gave it to me that same day. She did a great job and she was really sweet too!

They did a wonderful job on alternation. My only complain is the prices and they require full payment up front. Other than that, they did a good job and will definitely come back here again

Chhuy is the BEST tailor around! I come here for all my alteration needs. My wife had her wedding dress done here, and couldn’t have been more happy with the results!

I was referred to Chhuy by a client at my salon when I got my wedding dress and it was too big! It was «made for my measurements» yet it had some wired pouchy fabric on it in the hips and bust. I made an appointment over the phone and when I came in there was no other customers (what I preferred.) I came alone, so her and the other woman (I can’t remember her name but she was a blonde lady, very friendly) they helped me get it in!
She made that thing fit me like a GLOVE! I mean wow it fit so good and I could finally walk in it. It was very long, she also suggested folding up some of the fabric on the edge so it was just lacy. That made it look so much more expensive somehow!
Very nice job. Fast service, they only thing that I didn’t think of when I went for my first visit was the bustle– we didn’t end up doing it because my dress is not a traditional dress and there wasn’t a good spot to do so. There was time by the second pickup appointment to add a wrist bustle, but I decided not.
I was also surprised at the price! It wasn’t cheap by all means, but she put a lot of work into it for a very fair price. If I need anything altered again or if I have a chance to recommend Seams to Be, I WILL!

Chhuy is simply the best. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. She knows what looks good and gets your clothes back to you within a week. I have been going a lot lately and will refer people and continue to take my business there from now on.

Great price, nice and courteous tailor. Will definitely take my business to her from now on.

I brought in a dress for work to be hemmed to a shorter length, and the owner was very sweet and helpful. She had me try it on to show her the length I wanted, and then asked me when I needed it ready. Very nice and accommodating, and not to mention great prices. You pay up front, then come back when it’s ready. I will only come here from now on, I just wish I could remember the owners name.(Ci?)

This place was the place i always went to to get my clothes altered. She always did a great job until the last 2 times I went in. She was supposed to hem a tank top and when I came to pick it up she hadn’t altered it at all.
Then I came to a get a dress taken in and hemmed and all she did was hem the dress and left the safety pin in from where she was supposed to take in.
She is not open on Sundays and closes at 5:30 so it is extremely hard for me to get there after work. I picked up my dress on the way to an event so I did not get to check it to make sure it was ok until Sunday. Saturday is literally the only day I can make it to her store and now I have to wait till next week to bring it back in to get it fixed when it should have been done last week.

Do not take your bridesmaids dresses there, read good reviews but realized clearly it wasn’t due to their great job on dresses. My dress was butchered and after paying $ 60, and not offered any type of reimbursement for the 5 times I had to go back, I am upset. It was a big mess of a job that was done to my dress and was told by the lady it doesn’t look bad this far away as she is 5 ft away from me. Save yourself money and stress and take it somewhere else.

I haven’t had any work done here that was less than excellent. Fair prices, fast, and super friendly. A local business I am happy to support.

I’ve been here a couple times for alterations and patchwork. The owner is friendly, helpful and most of all, fast. If you absolutely need something done by a certain time or date she will do her best to accommodate. For the price I don’t think you will find a better seamstress in Tempe.

Brought my gf to get her dress altared. Asked for it to be done in an hour. The lady finished quick. Great service

This was a great find. Quality tailoring and reasonable prices. I have had pants hemmed, a hole repaired in my favorite jeans, and some holes repaired in my favorite dress. I highly recommend this place!

These ladies are so sweet! I had a terrible experience with another alteration place (smart fit)… These ladies came in at a much lower, honest price. They won’t rip you off and they give you service with a smile :) highly recommend!

OVERALL RATING SHOULD BE FIVE STARS!!! I’m never disappointed, sheer perfection, you can’t even tell your items have been altered. Professional and great work! I highly recommend SEAMS TO BE ALTERATIONS :)

Excellent service and great quality. I will always bring my alterations here. Had an emergency and needed a hem done in a couple of hours and they had it sone sooner than expected!

I have taken two suits into Seams To Be Alterations. After dropping my first suit off and having a negative experience, I should have walked away rather than letting them tailor another, but it was convenient and I didn’t follow my instincts.
The first time I used S.T.B.A. there were some warning signs, the owner was terribly disorganized (she lost my suit, it took her almost twenty minutes to find it) they make you pay for the alterations before you receive your altered garment (not totally unusual, but not completely professional either) she also told me that my suit would take a week to be altered, but in actuality it took two.
When I went to pick up my suit they were «busy» meaning myself and another customer were in the store, the staff (owner and another woman) didn’t seem to know how to deal with the extra business. I brought in a full suit, and one extra suit jacket. The owner told me that she didn’t want to tailor the extra jacket because it was too minimal of a repair. I disagreed. What type of business owner refuses extra money? While I understand that darting my jacket would have been tedious for her, it would have also put an extra $ 40 in her pocket. I digress. I overheard a staff member lecturing the other patron about how he shouldn’t have bought the garment he purchased, and that it was going to be hard for her to «fix them.» I don’t know about you, but I don’t take garments in to have them judged, I take them in to be altered. I certainly don’t need a lecture from a seamstress, I was appalled that someone would speak to a customer that way.
I gave her two weeks, and went in today to pick up my second suit. Instead of being on the nice wooden hanger that it was brought in on, my suit was on a used wire hanger. The suit was dirty, I immediately had to take it to the dry cleaner. She also made the sleeves too short, and uneven. Then she made it seem as if it were my fault that the sleeves were too short and uneven. The lining was stitched incorrectly and now in addition to being uneven, and too short, the sleeves also appear to be lumpy. Wonderful.
If you are in the market to have your nice and rather expensive things ruined, then by all means, go to Seams To Be Alterations. If you would prefer your garments to remain intact or be tailored properly, I would suggest going somewhere else. I have no idea how this company can stay in business.

I did a lot of shopping during black Friday last week and purchased a few new outfits for myself to wear to work. Being that Im somewhat on the shorter side, I find that I have to get pants hemed alot due to my shortness. I now have 3 new pair of pants that needed altering, and wasnt sure where to go.
This morning while running errands, I spotted this place. I never noticed it before, and considering Im always at Gold Bar, I was thrilled to find an alterations place! I guess shes been in Tempe for 10 years, but in this complex for about 7 months. (I must be losing my vision, considering I never noticed her before.)
Anyways, I just wanted to start out with 1 pair of pants to give her. I asked her when they would be ready, and she said that I could get them back today if I needed them. I think she might charge extra for it, but after talking with her and comparing hours, it seemed easier for me to pick them up today. She only charged me $ 9 which would be standard for her to charge for a hem. She measured me up and off I went!
So far, I am happy with her. The only thing is she closes at 5:30 during the week. Being that I work full time, its impossible for me to get to her before she closes to get my stuff back. FYI for others who may use her if your in a hurry and work during regular business hours. Shes open on Saturday but closed on Sunday. More updates to come as time goes on!
