Cheng’s Alterations

Excellent work! She is also efficient. I will be using Cheng’s for all my alterations.

My first time and I brought a pair of pants and a skirt to be altered. The drop off was quick and efficient. I was in, pinned and checked out in about 10 minutes. The job was taking in the waist band and hips. I was also very happy to have my items done sooner than expected. When I picked up my items they fit perfectly, the work looked very professional and the price charged was quite reasonable. I will be going through my closet to find those items I never wear because they don’t fit. Cheng’s just earned a new loyal customer and fan.

she only handled the simplest of jobs for me, hemming jeans, but sent me home the first time because the new jeans had not been washed, and she would not hem them until they had been washed to avoid a problem with shrinking. I appreciate her being conscientious. and she matched the thread in each pair of jeans I brought to be hemmed without an up charge!

She has done a great job with everything I’ve brought.
Tip she only takes cash or checks, so hit the ATM first you’ll be happy you brought your clothes here.

See my review for Jo-Ann’s Fabrics for the story of my beloved Gap pj bottoms, scored from the clearance rack at Gap. I accidentally ripped out one of the tie strings in a hurry one morning, and despite my lack of sewing skills, refused to toss them. I visited Cheng’s Alterations with the pjs and tie in hand. Even though she’s probably used to performing major alterations of wedding gowns, suits and such, I made no apologies for seeking her out to save my favorite hang-​out pants — I think she got a kick out of it!
A couple of days and a mere $ 4.00 later, I’m very happy with the repair work on my fave pjs! Do I miss that $ 4.00? I think not!

I’ve never been to a tailor’s before and came here based on the good recommendations I saw on Citysearch. I think Mrs. Cheng is amazing. She is honest and is seriously interested in making sure the clothes flatter you the best.
To help a little bit, I am of about average height (5’3″) and on the small side. What I have problems with the most in my clothes are busts that are too big, skirts that are too puffy and pants and sleeves that are too long.
When I brought my first dress in to be altered, Mrs. Cheng flat out told me what my problem was — the bodice was built on the tight side and therefore made it look like I had no breasts. I was disconcerted at first and then realized that she was just trying to make sure the dress was flattering for the price I paid for it. The skirt puffed out too much and she took it in four inches to create a cleaner A-​line and only charged $ 15. I’ve never been to a tailor before, so I don’t know what that price is, but to me it seemed reasonable.
I later brought in two more dresses, a skirt, pants to hem and a coat. All of these times, she’s been able to pin it how I want without me even telling her. She’s very good at figuring out what looks best on your body type! Also, while I was there, I was wearing a tank top where the front panels kept gapping open. While I was changing into another outfit, she took it and sewed the two panels together so that it wouldn’t gap anymore, no charge! It was a simple 15-​second sew, but I still thought that was a nice gesture.
Overall, I am very pleased with this tailor and I will definitely return every time I need something altered.
