Rina’s Alterations

Rina is so sweet and seriously knows her stuff. Went in, tried on the couple of things I needed to have tailored, and was out within 20 minutes. Price is a bit high, but you definitely get what you pay for.

I took my rehearsal dinner dress, wedding dress, and a hair piece into Rina to get my alterations done with her. Wow, Rina is a very nice and wonderful lady to be around. I had three separate fittings with her, to ensure the length was correct and the straps were where I wanted them to be. She is very detail oriented and everything turned out just as expected.
Yes, she is pricey. I did pay around $ 500 for 2 dresses, and a hair piece for the following: 2 sets of cups sewn into each dress, straps taken in, belt sewn to my dress, length taken up on my wedding dress (3 layers to my dress), darts put into my rehearsal dress, steam and dry ironing of my wedding dress, and elastic bands put into my hair piece for bobbypins. Would I go to her again and pay the money? Absolutely.
Tips: Cash or check only, and if you’re a bride call to schedule an appointment with her. You have to leave a voicemail and she will get back to you in a timely manner (if she does not pick up right away).

Great alterations service, pricey as some have mentioned, but certainly good quality. I definitely recommend Rina for higher end items– gowns, suits, wedding dresses, etc. Top tips: cash or check only, call to make an appointment if you’re a bride.

The prices are ridiculous. I brought in two plain cotton t-​shirt dresses to be hemmed. No beading, no pattern, no shape even, nothing complicated. They wanted to charged me $ 28.00 per dress to put in a single row of stitching (this was the cheaper option).

Rina’s isn’t some half-​baked alterations joint in the back of a dry cleaners. She’s a pro and can handle anything you throw at her. My wife and I have been going here for years and we never hesitate about brining anything. From suits to bedspreads, they’ve all been perfect.

I took an evening gown to be altered by Rina, and I was SO very impressed with her work. I needed the hem taken up, and I got it back in one week, in perfect length with the hem looking as if it was never altered. She has a lot of happy, loyal customers that take all manner of clothing to be altered, from jeans to wedding dresses. Tip: cash or check only. If you need your wedding dress altered, Rina prefers to have her brides come in the morning (appointment only!) when the floors are still newly swept and there is not much customer traffic so she can devote all her attention to you. She is a very sweet, kind, and professional lady. I would have had my wedding dress altered here as well, but she was leaving on a trip. You will be very happy with Rina’s Alterations.

I read the other reviews that said the charges were on the high side. I feel the high quality of work justifies the cost! I took my mother-​of-​the-​groom dress for hemming. The original hem was quite uneven, and Rina was able to make it look fabulous despite having to work with a filmy fabric and underskirt. I won’t hesitate to take future garments to Rina’s since her work is so impeccable!

I’ve been going to Rina’s for years and she always does a fantastic job. Not that I want to tell anyone because then she’ll be even busier…

Rina did an amazing job on a really difficult bridesmaid dress I needed work on. She made the recommendations on how to improve the fit etc. She is not cheap, but well worth the price if you want high quality or have a difficult job to be done.

Shes good and expensive, yet I would entrust her with the most
valuable garment. She altered an entire wedding party flawlessly
and was meticulous in her fitting demeanor. She won’t disappoint.

Took my token bridesmaid dress of the summer to Rina’s for extensive alterations. I needed to hem the skirt (and lining) along with bring in the top quite a bit which had lining and boning as well. She spent a lot of time with me doing the pinning/​marking and asked lots of questions to make sure I felt comfortable with what she was going to do.
The result was great, but the price tag was pretty high. I spent almost as much tailoring the dress as I paid for it. I may have been able to have the work done cheaper elsewhere. But in retrospect I can see that a lot of work went into the alterations because of the type of fabric and design of the dress. It was well worth the money and my dress looked better than many of the other bridesmaids. Maybe I will even wear this one again?! Rina was also able to get me the quick turn around I needed as well.
