Kimberley’s

Kimberly is amazing. Her work was done before it was promised and extremely well. She is incredibly friendly and her personality lights up her shop in Issaquah. You can always hear her laugh echoing through the shop.
Fun fact: all the «tips» donated to her for her incredible work are actually sent to help feed poor families in yet home town! She does a ton of charity work for those less fortunate. I wouldn’t hesitate to support this local treasure for years to come.

Cannot say enough good about what a great job Kimberley did on my husband’s competitive cycling shorts. She repaired so they really are better than new.
We plan on bringing all our alterations here!
Wanted to add how difficult it is to get bike gear repaired. Sizing, the fabric. She is quick and her ‘fixes’ last much longer that the original stitches on hubs gear. Also the price were surprisingly reasonable. Definitely causes me to rethink some of my cloths that I might give away, have them altered instead.

Just had 5 men’s pants (3 jeans, 2 dress) altered (waist and seat taken in) and she did an excellent job. Most importantly, she did it the right way so that you would never know to look at them that they’d been altered in anyway. Note that she only accepts cash or checks for payment.
And contrary to two other resent reviews, be had no personality conflicts, whatsoever. And as for pricing, If you want something done right and done well, it’s worth it. I know in my case, a lot of tailors, especially those associated with a dry cleaners, (Kimberly’s is not, by the way) would have taken the easier, and less labor intensive route of taking in the waist only at the back. But doing it right means opening up almost the whole waist band and taking it in from the two sides, equally.
I will definitely use her services in the future, and if needed.

If you need alterations. DO NOT go to this place. This is probably my least rated review on Unilocal!She is rude, arrogant and uncourteous.
She lost out on probably a great customer (I tend to market a good service/​product pretty well!) I needed to get a long party dress ($ 150) shortened by 1 inch. She didn’t even see the dress properly and she was «it’s going to take 65 $»
I saw the Unilocal reviews and went there with some high expectations. (/​/​She probably does a good job stitching the whole dress and stuff; I don’t know and I don’t want to know. I will also make sure people I know, get to know about the terrible experience I had!)
Well, to continue, after she said it was 65 $, I was like «oh! it’s too expensive, almost ½ the price of the dress, so I will pass.» And, then I saw some fully made wedding dresses around and out of curiosity asked her in a nice way «So you make wedding dresses, huh? «
JUST asked her that. She cut me and goes like «if you can’t do the alteration, you can’t afford my wedding dresses!» UNBELIEVABLE!
1) I would have been the most elite person who would have visited her dingy small store. I am married and my wedding dress costed about 3 times of her most expensive one!
2) Even if I was the richest person on earth, firstly I wouldn’t go to her and secondly I wouldn’t pay 65 $ for a stitch!
3) Even if I wasn’t, that is no way someone in her right mind, talks to her customer in such an uncourteous manner.
Basically, it was the WORST experience I have ever had anywhere!

I was sooo happy with my experience working with Kimberley! I came in with an idea to sew together two NFL jerseys and she delivered! She was fast, professional and fun to work with. I will definitely be coming back for any alterations I need in the future. Check out the photos I posted of the jerseys… They were the perfect gift :)

I chose this alterations place based on Unilocal reviews and I was not disappointed. Kimberley was so very helpful and obviously a master of her craft. To top it off, she is funny and made me laugh. She requires you to pre-​pay which I understand. My bridesmaid dress was ready when she said it would be and it fit perfectly!
Thank you Kimberley! I’ll be back to see you with my next alteration.

I will never go back here and would never recommend Kimberley’s!!! Her customer service is HORRIBLE! I had a dress and a pair of jeans altered. I went in to try them on after she altered them and they seemed to fit fine. I wore the dress to a wedding a few weeks later and realized after wearing it that the straps were still too long and needed to be shorted.
I paid around $ 100 to have the dress altered and assumed she would fix the length of the straps because it wasn’t done correctly in the first place. She REFUSED!!!
The jeans fit well, so I will give her that. It’s not her skill level I have a problem with it’s her customer service. I own a business and if the customer is ever unsatisfied I always make it right or refund their money.
If you’re looking to have something altered I HIGHLY suggest going somewhere else. She makes you pay before the garments are altered, so there is no way get your money back and clearly she won’t fix something that wasn’t done correctly in the first place

I got a few pairs of pants hemmed here and the experience was great. The owner was really nice about taking the time to carefully pin my pants. She then had me stand in the mirror and tripple check that I liked the length (considering that I wear flats all the time.)
Yes, I did have to pay ahead of time (I think she prefers cash?) but I didn’t see a problem with that. She let me know that a lot of the time, she’ll do the work on garments and then the customer never returns to pick them up. This is totally understandable! When I picked them up, she asked if I wanted to try them on and make sure they were right. I was in a rush so I didn’t — but just the fact that she asked really showed to me that she cares about a job well done.
The pants were perfect! And she even did a great job with the stretchy materials. You couldn’t even tell that the pants had been hemmed. Her stitching was well done and looked exactly like the original.
The only reason I’m giving her 4 stars and not 5 is that her prices were a little high. however, that’s very normal in Issaquah and she really did do an excellent job. I don’t think i would take anything cheap to her to do but when I buy nice pants, I don’t want cheap service ruining my pants. I know I can trust Kimberley’s.

Incredibly expensive. $ 200 to alter a dress. My friend found a tailor that did work on the same dress for 50% less. I dropped it off, picked it up a week later, and when I tried it on it was so tight I could barely breathe. The main woman that works there insisted that I gained weight and that I need «to be careful». Excuse me??? I know for a fact that is not the case. And even if it was, who the heck says that to a paying customer?!? Incredibly RUDE and unprofessional. Awful experience. I left incredibly upset. Store also smells. Will never go back here ever again and will be sure to tell others to avoid this place.

She fixed my bridesmaid dress with an extremely tight schedule after an unfortunate incident at another nearby Issaquah tailor. Not only did she fix someone else’s poor work, she did it better and charged less. She takes great pride in her work, doing all work the right way, without shortcuts. Her business/​shop is clean and organized which reflects what kind of work she does.
She really saved the day and my bridesmaid dress for my sisters wedding. I highly recommend Kimberly to anyone needing any kind of alterations big or small.
She was sweet to my two young busy boys.
Cash only, pay when you drop off your garment.

She is a miracle worker. Needed an alteration in a few days notice and she exceeded my expectations and had it done the very next day. High quality. Solid customer service. Highly recommend.

My experience at Kimberley’s was fantastic. I had to get my wedding dress altered (hem, bustle and taken in on the chest since the busts on these dresses are ridiculous) and she did an amazing job. You couldn’t even tell the bust had been altered and it fit perfectly. The bustle was confusing due to the hooks/​loops being hard to see but it worked out and stood up to people accidentally dancing on it during my wedding.
Also, as other reviewers pointed out, she tells you like it is. Some people may find that hostile but I totally appreciate someone telling me what will and won’t work, instead of just forging ahead and doing a blah job at it.
I will definitely be going back for any other alterations I may have in the future.

If you’re looking for someone to make your clothes fit correctly, this is the place to go! My pants, suit jackets, anything I bring it, it has been done superbly and exactly when she said it would be ready (even early).
For my local alternation, I won’t go anywhere else!

I am so thankful to have found Kimberley! I had a wedding dress that she made fit me perfectly and tailored expertly! She provides a value for the services she provides and was a true pleasure to work with. Thank you for your kindness and wonderful services! You helped to make my wedding day special! Highly recommend! She even made me a vail which I loved! Do not listen to one random bad review, the bridesmaid dress complainer had unrealistic expectations for her dress and was very rude to Kimberley. Obviously nobody else had that experience! And I paid with a check so that is not true either, maybe she wrote Kimberley a bad check 1^st so the vendor requested cash? I loved my dress! Thank you!

This lady is a miracle worker. All of my clothes that need alterations go here, now.
I had an odd sized suit that needed tailoring. I found Kimberley’s on Unilocal,and decided to give it a shot. I am glad I went here over any other place in Issaquah. She really knows how to creatively resolve odd sized problems. My suit required a lot of rework to do what I needed it to do, and she creatively expanded and contracted the pant with minimal material, completely disassembling and reassembling portions of the pant. Once completed, you couldn’t tell they had been altered in anyway, they fit comfortably and will last a long time. Quality craftsmanship, I must say.
If I had to complain about anything it would be that she only took cash and checks, she did not take debit or credit cards. Nevertheless, she does fantastic work!

Kimberley is excellent!
She’s hemmed two pairs of my jeans, and was able to shorten the jeans and keep the original hem. They look great; like they weren’t altered at all. She’s also resized a leather belt, and is currently working on repairing a rip in a pair of my jeans and some buttons that weren’t sewn correctly on a pea coat.
I definitely recommend her services.
And for those who can’t handle paying in cash or check: seriously? She tells you exactly how much it will cost, and you don’t pay until the work is done.

I have been looking for a good tailor for years, and Kimberley’s did a great job on alterations on 2 dresses, a jacket, a coat and a pair of slacks that I brought in. Yes, it is more expensive than taking clothes to be altered at the dry cleaner’s, but the reliability and quality of work is worth the price.

So I’m new to the area and was going off reviews to find someone who could do the alterations I needed on a bridesmaid dress. I found Kimberley and it seemed great, I took the dress into her, we talked about taking in the bust and the sides, bringing up the shoulders and the hem. $ 130 total for all of it, ok thats fine I can deal I was asking a lot to be done and she said she could have it done in a week. So I go pick up the dress today, put it on and the bust is way too big, as soon as I stop having perfect posture the shoulders fall right off (not ok for a catholic wedding). I bring this up and she just argues with me saying she’d have to cut new arm holes and it wouldn’t look right. I leave, done arguing and call the bride on my way home. She says no, it should be fine she should have just taken in the bust at the sides which she was supposed to do anyway. I call her up and she starts yelling at me telling me that I’m wrong and that the dress shouldn’t fit that way. Also that she never charged me to fix the bust (which we had discussed as it was too big from the beginning). I ask if she could fix it without charging me anymore because it was what I was originally told was going to happen. She says no, because she would need to re-​do the arm holes it would be $ 50.
Basically I’m very disappointed she didn’t do as was asked of her and then tried to charge me again to do what should have been done in the first place. I’ll never go back and never recommend her to anyone. Looks like I need to find a new tailor to fix this dress in the week that I have before the wedding…
Also she’s cash only which is way annoying, not many people carry that much cash on them at any point in time. Get with the times and get a credit card machine.

Amazing job & totally affordable! I took my wedding gown there because I needed a bustle put it. She put in a 3-​tiered custom bustle, the cups in the bust (saving me from needing a bra) as well as tightened the beaded straps. High quality workmanship, and for much less than I was quoted elsewhere. Amazingly happy bride!!!

I’ve been looking for a good tailor for awhile, so was excited when I saw a new place in Issaquah that got great ratings here on Unilocal.And guess what, everything everyone is saying is true, she is excellent!
I had two pairs of pants for her to hem, and a dress. I called on a Sunday asking if I could just drop in or if I needed to make an appointment, she say normally Sundays are by appointment only but to come on in and she would get me in. When I came in, Kimberly was just wonderful, friendly, funny, and the quality of her work is just amazing. I doubt anyone could even tell I have had any of my items altered!
The only down side is make sure you bring cash or your check book — but honestly, this inconvenience is small when you know your clothes are in great hands! I already have gone back to her for other items to be altered!
