Amy’s Tailoring

Tina has been the owner of this shop for several years. In the last ~8 years, she has altered almost all my clothes, including taking an entire size 22 wardrobe of suits and dresses down to a size 16. She did a wonderful job. I take almost every piece of clothing I buy to her to be altered so it fits just right (makes one look much slimmer). I am always happy with her work.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. My daughter’s prom dress was too loose. When we took it in, I thought it was weird that the seamstress didn’t even measure anything — just kind of eyeballed it and marked it with a few pins. But I foolishly assumed she knew what she was doing. Instead, she chopped out so much that my daughter (who is tiny), was bursting out of the top. The seamstress refused to take responsibility and insisted the dress was supposed to fit that way. My daughter could barely breathe in it! We ended up spending another hundred bucks at a different tailor, who grafted fabric from another part of the dress into the back. In the end, my daughter was able to wear the dress (I don’t even want to think how much it cost by then), but it will never look as good as it did coming off the rack. Do not go to Amy’s Tailoring! It used to be the best tailoring shop around, but the original owner (Amy) sold the business. Wish I’d known that before.

Had my jeans hemmed here. She did a great job. It took a week and the price is definitely cheaper than most places. Two types of hem– original or just jean hem. I had the jean hem. Price was $ 7 pretty reasonable. Original was $ 12 which is also on the lower end. Not sure how she is with other items, but if you just need jeans to be hemmed this is a affordable place.

Inexpensive, but you get what you pay for.
*Took my bridesmaid dress in to be altered and was excited about the low cost.
*Lady was very nice and assured me that the light color of the dress would not be stained.
*Picked it up (was done in a great amount of time), but it was NOT PRESSED and LOOKED SLOPPY on my body.
*It did fit me, so that was great, but my $ 200 dress now hangs awkwardly.
*She did press it for me, but when I pointed out the BLACK SPOT on the choral dress, she REFUSED to discount me because it wasn’t her «fault.»
*Even though the dress was brand new and neither her nor I saw it when we fitted it to my body, and even though the spot is directly on the side where it was altered, she swore it wasn’t hers.
*That is incredibly BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.
*I was excited to find a place right next to where I live that is reasonably priced, and my boyfriend was also looking forward to taking his suites to her, but I will NEVER RETURN to her again.
*Customer Service goes a long way, especially when it comes to clothes you cannot return.
*Hopefully you will have a much better experience, but from the looks of the mess in her tiny business, it really isn’t too shocking that my brand new bridesmaid dress was not pressed, still hangs sloppy, and is now stained from a careless error.
*I doubt she will care, though, as she told me she has enough business.
