Kimly Alterations And Dressmaking

Sophy is the best all around! I brought my bridesmaid dress in to be let out and even needed some fabric added. She was able to adjust the size perfectly and in a short time! On top of the quick and quality service, she was very personable and understanding. I would definitely go there from now on!

Brought my wedding dress in to get a bustle and have alterations done on a belt. Very knowledgable and friendly! Very helpful and kind, also super flexible with the alterations I needed and when they had to be done. I would recommend her to anyone!

Great tailor, she was able to accommodate my request for a one day hem which really saved me! She was very receptive and friendly and went out of her way to ensure that she provided a quality product! Definitely recommend.

With such high marks, I took two brand new dresses here for some work. One was a simple hem and the other included taking up the shoulders. Everything required re-​work TWICE!!. When I was finally able to get the dress (the simple hem) after several botched attempts, it was 2 inches shorter than I wanted. In addition, a shirttail hem technique was used on a heavy crêpe cocktail type dress. Absolutely ruined the look of the dress — in addition to being too short. When taking up the shoulders on another new dress made of jersey, not only was the dress taken up but this place seamed right through the cap sleeves so now I have a seam in the middle of a cap sleeve. Before I broke my right wrist, I used to sew and do most of my alterations. This is NOT QUALITY work and not timely work. Maybe the shop was busy doing everyone else’s last minute requests. Long story short: this is definitely a case of buyer beware is you use this business. Unless you are ready to have your garments ruined, there are likely better places than this. My daughter also had her wedding dress altered here and she experienced similar issues.

I found Kimly Alterations on Unilocal when I needed to get my very expensive bridesmaid dress altered. Sophy did an INCREDIBLE job. The dress was pretty complicated as far as alterations go but Sophy did an outstanding job for a reasonable price. I highly recommend Kimly Alterations!

They were awesome. I walked in with a last minute request and They made it happen. Ill be back for future alterations. The prices are decent and she displayed great customer service. I’m so thankful I was able to find them!

I got Kimly’s as a recommendation on a group FB page. I needed a gown altered for the Marine Corps Ball, she was soo helpful, efficient & professional. She will be my sole seamstress for the rest of my time here. I highly recommend this business to everyone!

Sophy did an OUTSTANDING job on my gown. I almost cried when I saw it. She is a MUST GO TO!!! to get any dress done!!! I had a dress that I needed fixed 2 weeks before the Marine corps ball. Within those 2 weeks she let my dress out and hemmed it. You are amazing at what you do and I would definitely come back again. Thank you Sophy!!!
She told me right from the beginning «Don’t worry you are in good hands» again, Thank you Sophy!

I took my silk Simone Carvalli wedding dress to Kimly Alterations and Sophy did a perfect job! Yes perfect!!! Not only is Sophy a beautiful sweetheart, she listens to what you want and makes it happen! I was nervous about having my wedding dress altered, but was so relieved when Sophy lived up to her five star Unilocal rating. The service and work was impeccable. I will be a regular customer at Kimly for all of my future alterations!!!
