I had ordered a bridesmaids dress for my sisters wedding last minute and the website she directed us to was an online made to order dress shop. Because it was made to order you were able to custom size your dress perfectly for your size. I had mistakenly did the measurements wrong around my hips(a 6 inch difference, oops!) and I wasn’t even able to get the dress over my butt. Eek. I immediately called the online store and they informed me that there were no returns on custom sized dresses. I tried two alterations shops in Arcata. One informed me she didn’t have time for it, while the other felt that it could be around 150 dollars to fix, not to mention if she could even fix it within a week. Feeling hopeless, I decided to call Buttons. The woman instantly calmed me down and told me to come in the next day and she would figure something out. When I arrived, she immediately began working on it to see if there was something she could do. We decided on what would work and the dress was eventually finished in 5 days. She did an incredible job. The dress before was too long for my petite frame and was just overall awkward. I was happy to say that I was finally comfortable in the dress! Buttons has great customer service and the price was great. I’ll definitely be coming back if I need something else altered! Thanks so much!

ABSOLUTELYAMAZING!!! Not only did Margaret put me completely at ease in getting my wedding dress altered within three days, she turned a dress that I wasn’t crazy about into the most beautiful, perfect wedding dress in the whole world! The biggest relief was being able to walk in and ask for help, and not be treated like a total idiot when I said I needed the dress back the same week. I know I procrastinated, and so many other places in town treated me like a criminal for waiting until the last minute. I did not feel that way at Buttons. Margaret was simultaneously professional, comforting, and excitedly inventive! She whipped up an adorable gold belt to add on to the dress, too! This was the first and last wedding dress I will ever have altered so don’t have a basis for comparison, but I feel like the cost was very cheap, particularly considering the rush. They could have exploited my desperation, but did not!

I searched all around Eureka/Arcata for a good place to have my wedding dress altered. I had spent some good money on the dress so I really wanted to find a good place to have it altered. I talked to a few people on the phone and after less than stellar customer service at other places I called, I found buttons and I am so glad I did! I spoke with Rosemary on the phone a few times before I brought my dress in and she was so kind, welcoming and was happy to answer any questions I had. When I brought the dress in, she was super comfortable getting right to it and doing whatever she needed to do to make it fit perfectly. You could tell she knew what she was doing! She took about one week to alter it, and it fit perfectly! I would highly recommend buttons and Rosemary to anyone looking for simple or very complex alterations. Thank you so much Rosemary!

Awesomely friendly service, and they got it done faster than what they originally said(because the knew I wanted it in time for an event.) And they did a great job. What more could one ask for?

Traveling around the USA from Australia and tearing my favourite jeans was a nightmare! Luckily I went to buttons and they patched it up really quick. Very friendly and very reasonably priced! Highly recommend

I needed to repair two of my jackets that were torn, so I thought I’d try Buttons. They did a great job with both and I was surprised at how cheap it was. The woman who runs the place couldn’t have been nicer. Highly recommend this place.

You will not be disappointed if you take your alterations to Button’s. These two can do anything! Make that special garment finally fit w/o the troubling gap or pinch or preserve your favorite jacket so you can enjoy it for another decade. Got a prom dress that’s almost but not quite right? No problem! Curtains for that guest room? Slip Cover for your old couch? Hot tub cover? Did I say they can do anything? I mean it! And they are FAST! And reasonable! Check it out!
