Perfect Alterations

This place is truly amazing! I was planning my wedding from out of state and only tried my dress on a few times. It wasn’t until the week of the wedding, when I got into town, I realized I would need to bustle my dress. In a panic on the Wednesday before the wedding I went into Perfect Alterations hoping she could squeeze me in amongst the prom dresses and other weddings this weekend. Nancy said she would be able to do it, even though it was a rush order last minute. She even steamed it for me because it was wrinkled. When I picked up my dress I almost cried tears of happiness because she was able to do this for me with such a short time window. It was done beautifully and was easy enough for me and my mom and sister to all remember how to do it. Thank you Nancy, I will recommend you to everyone!

Great place! Got my wedding dress alterations done here and they did a flawless job! Would defiantly recommend this to anyone who needs alterations. I would defiantly go back.

I needed a wedding dress train removed and hemmed to ankle length. Originally my intention was to stop by the store just to get a quote but after being wiling to wait for a scheduled customer to finish, the shopkeeper was able to get me measured without an appointment — I think I lucked out, schedule your appointment. I was given a date to pick up my dress and paid in advance and I was good to go. The dress had a bright red lipstick stain right in the center of the skirt when I purchased it. the shopkeeper pointed it out, it was my intention to have it cleaned after alterations. When I picked up my dress the stain had been removed at no additional charge and you can’t even see where it was. This service was unexpected and above my expectation. I will forever bring my future business here. Thank you!!!

Very poor customer service and quality of the work. I had my jeans hemmed here today. The woman was very rushed measuring me when I dropped them off, and I did next day service, so I was a little concerned from the beginning. When I came in to pick them up I was in a hurry and asked if they had a window of time if when I tried on the pants at home, and the hem wasn’t the proper length, what time frame could I bring it back to be fixed (every other alterations place I’ve ever used has this). I was told that they do not do fixes and I would have to pay FULL price if I didn’t like the job they did. I was then told I could try them on there in the store, but if I disliked the length of the hem it was my own fault and I would have to pay full price to get it fixed. So it didn’t matter if I tried in on there or at home, I’d still be charged full price of the job was not up to par. I got home, and low and behold the jeans were a little bit too short (I tried them on with the same shoes I was measured in). I don’t usually write Unilocal reviews, but since I chose this place based on reviews and had an awful expletive I thought I’d pass the word on

I bought a wedding dress (for CHEAP) with every intention of losing the necessary weight to fit into it. Well without going into detail… the weight was not lost. So… I was on the hunt for someone to help me. After several reviews read and suggestions from friends I took the dress to Nancy. I had to set an appointment and bring the dress. I changed into the dress and she took a couple minutes (literally like 5 min) to look everything over, tug on this fabric and pull at that fabric and was done. I looked at my mom like are you serious? After changing out of the dress and telling me her plans she sent me on my way (hesitantly). When I came back like 4 weeks later put on the dress and everything was PERFECT! I couldn’t believe it! I highly recommend Nancy and all her hard work. She is super busy (which is a good thing) so make sure you give yourself enough time. The price wasn’t bad and she prefers cash.

Brought my dress in to have the hem shortened. Came to pickup a week later as promised and they closed the shop early on friday. They are closed through the holiday weekend until Tuesday now. I had a wedding to attend tomorrow, saturday. I specified I would be in to pick it up today. Would have been nice to have gotten a phone call or this posted on their website, which it was not. Very disappointed. Now I have to go buy another dress…

If i could give zero stars I would. The owner is a tiny lady who is RUDE. She was rude to my sisters who had came with me for my first dress fitting with perfect alterations. I traveled very far (2hrs) to come to this shop for my wedding dress alterations. She told me she was busy all day long and made me feel like I was in her way. Then at time of check out (she made me pay up front) she said she couldn’t have my dress done until 2 days before my wedding! When my sister asked if it could be sooner because I’m from out of town the owner replied «take it or leave it, I’m busy and I can’t do it sooner» so I did just that! I asked for a refund and I left it. Went to sones alterations at eastland mall and received great service. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU VALUE CUSTOMER SERVICE. skills is not the only thing you should seek in alterations shop!

Brought in a formal dress that was slightly complicated – required working with a zipper. David’s Bridal was scheduled to do it, but I wanted to avoid them and work with someone local.
At Perfect Alterations, I was told immediately they couldn’t do it. No one even looked at the dress, just kicked me out the door as soon as I walked in. The woman was extremely rude.
I went to C. Stefano’s in Gahanna and he did it, no problem, for a great price. Should have just gone there in the first place.

Absolutely wonderful. the owner, Nancy, is great to work with and helpful to meet a quick deadline (less than a month turn-​around time). All the reviews listed for her and her shop are 100% accurate — she does excellent work!

The thought of letting someone take scissors to your wedding dress is terrifying. So when it was time to have some minor alterations completed on my dress, I took finding a great seamstress seriously.
After reading solid Unilocal reviews, I decided to take my dress the Perfect Alterations. She did a wonderful job on my dress and delivered it on time. The alterations (I had some length taken off the bottom and added a bustle) were pricey, but the peace of mind made it worth it.
A few notes:
— A good seamstress is also a busy seamstress. Every time I was in the shop, several people came in with drop offs and pick ups, and the shop owner does her best to multitask. If you expect a one-​on-​one experience during your appointment, this may not be the place for you.
— Bring cash! She does except cards, but cash is the preferred form of payment.

I have been coming here for alterations for years. I’ve had several dresses taken in or shortened, and recently took in a very expensive BCBG dress that had a broken zipper. The owner charged me $ 25 for a new zipper and it looks like new. I will agree with previous reviewers, the owner is a tiny force of nature. There are two changing rooms so you can show off your ill-​fitting clothes, and then she will quickly measure and pin your clothing. She is very precise and efficient. She also advises the cheapest alterations, showing me that she wants what’s best for her customers and not just what makes her the most money. She has always finished my alterations on time and has significantly take in a formal dress for me in 3 days time when I was in a rush. If you pay with cash it’s usually a little cheaper and you can avoid paying tax!

Brought some suits pants in to get hemmed and she noticed an elaborate internal cuff that apparently adds weight to pants without a visible outside cuff. She was apologetic that it would cost $ 15 instead of the normal $ 8 to hem. It looked complicated and I would have paid double that. Great work, nice people.

Nancy is a miracle worker! After purchasing my wedding dress in February, I did what every bride does and hit the gym for a little weight loss. However, I ended up losing 22lbs. Not what I had expected! I took my dress to Nancy in August for my October wedding and when she saw how big the dress was on me, she simply said «Wow! I have to take your dress in 4.5 inches!» Since she was basically making my dress 4 sizes smaller, we had to make some modifications to the original design… I was nervous! After she got my dress all pinned up and I was heading out the door, she kinda’ mothered me and said «You better not lose anymore weight!» I giggled.
I went back for my dress last week and it is absolutely gorgeous! I am so pleased with how it turned out and excited because I now have a one of a kind dress since we had to make a few modifications. I can’t wait to wear it this Saturday for my wedding!

Family owned and run. The owner is a teeny-​tiny lady with big character and big talent. She’s very direct and very quick, to the point you think she didn’t get enough time to size you properly, but sure enough, when the garment comes back, it’s perfect. Great quality for a great price.

I love coming to Perfect Alterations. I have been a regular customer here for a few years now and have had great experiences. I usually get my pants hemmed and think they have turned out very nice. I will be coming to her this summer to get my bridesmaid dress fitted. I have recommended this place to a few people already.

I’ve been here about 5 times now for pants hemming and jacket and blazer sleeve reduction and taking the back in 3 blazers. Everything has come out wonderful and fits exactly the way I wanted.
The one draw back is that the lady speaks broken English and can seem short or rude at times but I think that’s just the way she speaks and isn’t trying to be mean. Sometimes you have to repeat what you say or gesture but that’s fine. Also her daughter is almost always there so if you don’t like having a 5 year old run around every now and again, you may want to pass. But from an alterations perspective, she is the best!

Not only did I have to rush my bridesmaid dress but by the time it came in there was only a week left until I had to be on a plane for the wedding in Italy. Perfect Alterations was able to complete the alterations in less than a week. I was very pleased with the service and the dress looked amazing.

I brought my wedding dress in a panic because I couldn’t find anyone to alter my dress since I bought it out of state. The woman that works there is so sweet and was quick to help. I was a little hesitant because she only fitted me once and I picked it up very close to my wedding. However, the dress fit like a glove and I couldn’t have been happier with it. The dress had multiple layers and was very complicated. She had to bring it in over six inches because I am a 00p and you couldn’t tell the dress was touched at all. I can’t say enough great things about Perfect Alterations. I know I will be back for any alterations I may need in the future!

Oh my gosh! Their works are always perfect! I got a job as a flight attendant and I brought some uniform to get alteration. I had to move to Philadelphia for the job and just had one day to pick them up, but they did a great job! All of the uniform fit me perfectly! Nancy (I think she’s the owner) is a great person, too :-)

Been here a couple times and had some simple hems done to my pants. They did a good job and the price was right. Usually there’s a couple of women working, but when there’s more than 3 customers inside, the wait can be little while.
My parents like them because they have someone to speak Vietnamese with, haha.
