Little Seamstress Inc

I brought a pair a pants to this shop last winter (of 2015) to be tapered. I was told by the blonde woman who speaks to people about their alterations when they walk in that the pants could not be taken in any more than she pinned it on me. I felt as though that was odd since they were still so very baggy. I asked her several times, & she still insisted that they couldn’t be taken in any more, so I had her take it in how she pinned it, but was still unhappy with it. When I got back to NY (I am a snowbird), I took the pants to my tailor their & she took them in much more — no problem.
I went back into the store last week as I just returned here for the winter & the same woman was there who told me she couldn’t take the pants in anymore. I told her that since she insisted that the pants couldn’t be taken in anymore & they could be, I would like to be refunded the money I paid for alterations at her store since she was 100% wrong & I had to pay again for a more knowledgeable seamstress to taper them again. She said that since a year had passed she would not refund my $. I told her that I was a snowbird & wasn’t going to fly back down to Florida over this, & that it if she was a professional seamstress, she could have tapered them as I requested her to do. She still refused to return my $, so I had to pay twice for a job that should have been done properly once. Obviously, this is not a professional shop if they tell you they can’t take in a pair of baggy pants anymore & you have to go somewhere else where they can. Stay away from aggravation & go somewhere professional where they know how to do alterations!

Carolyn and Susan are just great. Always friendly, and masters of their craft. I am petite and they have improved everything from jeans to dresses to blouses for me. I don’ t know what I would do without them. What I particularly like is Carolyn’s eye. By that I mean that she has a good sense for how a garment should fit and fall, and how to alter it to make you look your best. Previously I had used a Brazilian tailor, and everything he fixed was tight and short! Carolyn will make you look like a lady, in the best sense. Love her! They do close up shop for two weeks in the summer, usually in August, so if you are needing them in that season, call before you go. I do not find them expensive, but then, I desperately need them!

For easy items I don’t come here because they are a little pricey. But if I have an expensive suit or a pair of pants I need reconstructed this is the only place I will bring them too. The workmanship is exceptional. And the women who work here are a pleasure to deal with.

Very happy with my pants. Only thing it would have been nice if they pressed the hems they had just done.

I had a dress with button loops on it and one of the loops ripped out of the seam… I called Little Seamstress to ask if my boyfriend could bring it in for a quick fix. She told me to send him in, and when he got there she quickly fixed my dress! It was really inexpensive and he said the place was very nice :)

Very happy with the service and the work! These are the jobs I needed done: Shorten two formal dresses, take in a dress, add sleeves to a halter dress and take in and hem a little boys suit. They did the work quickly with great turnaround time, and the workmanship is just beautiful. Once finished, it was impossible to tell where the garments had been altered. Truly outstanding and highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back.

Excellent work. Quick turn around. And the ladies at this place are very nice.

Great service. I needed pants taken in for a wedding at the last minute. They were done quickly and neatly. Very satisfied.

I am visiting from out of state and needed to hemmed new pants. They had the pants ready when they promised in spite of the busy holidays.
They are very professional and I would trust them with future alterations.

These ladies are very nice and very professional. I’m new here and I didn’t really know where to go to get a jacket altered for a job interview. I just happened to see this place near where I’m staying, so I stopped in. They put me at ease right away. The jacket was done on time and they did an excellent job! I’ll definitely take any future tailoring work here.

I had my wedding dress altered here and they did a great job with little notice. Very reasonable price and personable! I highly recommend coming here!

Just had my first gown altered from the Little Seamstress and could not have been happier. Not only did they do a great job but also helped select the proper undergarments from my choices that i brought.
Thank you Renee!

This store and the little cute friendly ladies who work there is a go to place for all my alterations. Every time I buy pants, jackets etc. even if I get a hole in an old piece of clothing, it’s done well and reasonably priced.
There’s no attitude. They know what they’re doing and always done on time. I recommend this place. I just hope they don’t ever get so popular they they start getting too busy :-)

They did a beautiful job altering my chiffon bridesmaid dress. It was flawless and reasonably priced! Definitely coming here for all of my alterations!

I have had nothing but great experience with this place of business. I have had two bridesmaid dresses altered there in the past 4 years and have had excellent results and I was in and out. The owners are easy to work with and accomodating to your needs.

I’m very petite and even the smallest sizes are usually too big, so I need a LOT of alterations, some of them quite complicated. I’ve been going to The Little Seamstress for over 15 years, and have always been satisfied with their alterations/​tailoring to my store-​bought clothing. In addition, I’ve had Susan make special items for me from scratch – they’ve always been well-​made and perfect fits. I think their prices are fair, and their work has always met my standards (which are high). I’ve seen some of the exquisite couture pieces Rene has made for others (tho not for me) and they seem well worth it.
