Seams Sew Fine

Dropped off items to be hemmed and advised of price, wow overly priced, also charged fee for refusing to allow work to be done, unprofessional in my opinion

Long story… I will not spend another dime there. I was spoken to rudely and rushed in and out. I will take my clothes to a shop with an ounce of customer service and professionalism.

Small, local island shop. I needed a dress altered for a wedding in a hurry. They sure got it out FAST and the dress fit perfectly. Amazing service, and the people are really nice. Will definitely use them again.

I don’t know why there are several very negative reviews for this place. They did a great job on my holiday ball dress and you couldn’t even tell that they had to completely resize it. I got a lot of compliments. I’ve also gotten a pair of jeans hemmed there with great success.

Rude staff ruined a very expensive pair of pants doing what should have been a very easy alteration.

I recently lost a lot of weight, which is awesome, but due to lack of funds I was still wearing dress slacks that were two sizes too big for me. Ive never had alterations done before but thought I would price compare that versus buying 4 new pairs.
I used Unilocal to find this place tucked in the corner of a small strip center. It was jam packed inside with fabric and clothes in neat piles everywhere. Lots of pictures adorned the walls, mostly of children dressed as royalty with elaborate embellished capes. I think it was more a Mardi Gras type thing as opposed to a Toddlers and Tiaras type thing. A sweet girl behind the counter explained the process to me and estimated around $ 16 for each pant altered. Sold! I originally paid $ 69 for each pant so this was a deal. I came back a few days later with 4 slacks and got fitted by another nice older lady who was obviously the shop owner. After the pinning was done I was informed that it would be $ 21 a pant since it was a more difficult seam. UGH. They were just normal Express Editor unlined dress pants but I’m not a seamstress so fine, whatever, it was still more affordable than new pants.
I was told that I could pick them up the next day after 4:00 but they closed at 5:00 and I was working till 5:00. Luckily I was able to quickly pick them up during my working hours. I tried them on in the dressing room and… they fit like crap. I think a good seamstress would know to inform a customer that you can’t take slacks in two sizes without having a significant shift in the back pockets!!! I mean seriously the butt pockets were almost touching each other. And on one pair the butt seam was almost sewn in a straight line with no curve.
I’m not one of those people that causes a stink if my service is not right. I’ve never returned food at a restaurant or demanded a discount for a bad haircut, but I’ll be damned if I ever go back. So now I’m not very trusting of alterations places. Why pay to have someone ruin your clothes when you could just buy new ones and sell your good old ones on eBay? Lesson learned at this place for sure!

This is where I went for all of my wedding-​related alterations.
The dress I got married in (an embellished knee-​length sundress from Anthropologie) needed the keyhole/​wrap combo bodice sewn shut some because I’m pretty well endowed in that area. That was done very quickly for a very reasonable price.
The choli suit (Indian outfit with a skirt and top) that I wore to my reception needed more complicated alterations, because even though I entered my measurements when ordering online, when it arrived it was WAY too big. I was swimming in the top and the skirt hung way too low and threatened to fall off/​trip me.
The owner (maybe named Joanne? for the third time, I’m terrible with names) came up with creative solutions for these problems that worked really well. I did have to go in a couple of times for fittings, but that was fine with me as this business is very close to where I lived/​worked at the time.
I expected to pay much more than what I ended up being charged for all of these adjustments.
My outfit looked really great at my wedding reception!
