Jin’s Alterations

Jin’s Alterations is a great place to have your clothes altered. She worked on a gown that I needed shortened and taken in. After just 2 visits, she was able to have it ready. I plan to take more dresses over to Jin’s in the future.

After reading the reviews here and discounting the two reviews whining because Jin changed her business model and now specializes in WOMEN’S clothing alterations, I am VERY GLAD that I did chose Jin’s to do my alterations. Jin altered five nice dresses from Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom’s that I bought for my girlfriend for Christmas. Jin did an EXCELLENT JOB! She was very thorough and precise, did a first and second fitting, and delivered a great product! My girlfriend is SO excited about the dresses now. Thank you, Jin! She is now our go-​to spot for ladies alterations.

Suddenly, as of about one week prior to this review, they are no longer altering men’s clothes. It’s their business, so they can do what they want, but I was very taken aback by the fact that they are now turning away prior customers.

I have trusted Jin with my wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, and my $ 1,000 suits. Everything she does is flawless and to perfection. She does not allow me to take anything until it looks absolutely perfect. She has done everything from hemming to completely re-​making my wedding dress (and everything in-​between). She is courteous and gets things done quickly and cost-​effectively. I have sent many people her direction. I would recommend giving her at least 2 weeks for any major alteration (wedding dress, suit, etc. as she needs a few fittings to get it perfect). Trust Jin with your clothing!

Thank goodness I found Jin’s!
I spent $ 300 on a bridesmaid dress in Seattle and somehow let the boutique talk me into a size much larger than what I normally wear based on my «measurements». I know bridesmaid dresses run small, but when she told me I needed six sixes larger than what I normally wear I was skeptical but trusted what she was telling me.
Fast forward to the dress coming in. Yep, huge. I was swimming in it. I decided to leave it loose in the waist to save funds (since I had already spent $ 300) but had her take in the top. A LOT. She pinned several inches and then took it in. She is also fast — everything was done in less than two weeks and I still had two weeks to spare before the wedding. She told me her preference is to do alterations about two weeks out from an event.
I appreciate that she is open until 6 on weekdays and even lets you come in on Saturdays if you call ahead. I had two fittings and one final fitting during the pickup. She noticed the eye hook was a little loose as I was leaving and sewed it for me in about five minutes. I enjoyed the small talk with her and her daughter who does most of the translating.
Oh, and the final cost? $ 32.00. I was surprised. That was the most altering I’ve needed and the least amount of money I’ve ever paid. Jin has a new customer in me for sure.

I brought in three dresses. Two were to be shortened and one to be be tightest around the top. She shortened all three and did not touch the top of the one. She ruined a dress that I had not even worn yet. Then proceeded to tell me that sometimes she makes mistakes. Did she not write these things down? Trying to talk to her about this was ridiculous as she was argumentative, hard to understand and loud! I left in tears.

I needed a bridesmaid dress altered on the fly. After trying to find a place nearby me that could alter it and not finding one (one flat out told me no they could not do it and two shops were closed), I decided to give Jin’s a call based on the reviews. The lady that helped me over the phone and in person (Su Jin? I probably spelled that wrong) was excellent. She was friendly and explained everything perfectly that would be done on the dress. I believe it is a mother daughter team that owns this shop and they are both so wonderful! This place is not nearby me at all so I had to drive out of my way, but was well worth it.
My dress was done in about a week. I did have to come back twice for fittings but am just glad they were able to do what I needed on the dress in such a short amount of time. Highly recommend this shop and will only be using them for any future alterations I might need.

I found this business through Unilocal and chose it because it’s close to me and the high reviews. I am very happy I found this place. I needed a dress brought in for a event on the weekend. Dropped off Tuesday and picked it up Friday. A perfect fit. It was a fairly simple job but the results are great and professionally done. I will definitely recommend and use this business again.

Such a great place! I had a formal gown altered here as I am a bridesmaid in a wedding. They hemmed my dress just how I wanted it, and the price was very fair. Cash or check only.

Jin’s Alterations is AMAZING. I took three suits and four dresses into be altered, and with my past experiences with alterations, I was very nervous! However, right when I got in there I felt so welcomed and you could really care that they care about what they do and that they focus on the customer. The dresses that I took in were lined and needed to be completely revamped (hemmed, taken in) etc. and they altered them flawlessly. I have never been to such a good quality, inexpensive alteration place. Trust them with your clothes– you won’t be disappointed!

I had my pants altered here. I thought they did a good job at $ 10.70 for a pair of pants. I had a little hard time understanding the dresser’s English because she has a heavy Korean accent but I got by just fine. They had my pants ready as promised. So I’m glad I used their services.

Searching with no direction I stumbled upon this fantastic little mother/​daughter operation. I’m very pleased that I did. I recently needed to get a brides maid dress altered. Davis bridal demanded at least a month, Jin did it in 3 days! She gave me options for different approaches to the alteration. The waist had to be taken in and she also added darts around the bust forming a much more ideal fit. Her work was very impressive. This woman is very skilled. Her daughter does translate to her, but they are an effective team. Priced very reasonably i highly recommend this location for all your alteration needs. Very polite. This was a highly desirable experience.

I could not be happier with my experience at Jin’s. I got a jacket taken in and my pants taken in and hemmed. The jacket looks great, and she was able to do it on such short notice i needed by Sunday (I took it in on a Thursday and pickup on Saturday). I will be going back with any other tailoring needs I have :]
