Express Alterations

I googled this place, saw the previous review, and I have to say I cannot believe how awesome this experience was. I brought in my wedding dress… probably waited a little longer than I should have to get the alterations done… so I was on a bit of a time crunch.
The lady there assured me it would be no problem. She helped me try it on, and allowed me to mark (with an erasable marker) exactly what I wanted done.
She ended up hemming it, taking it in, replacing the zipper, and also making alterations that I wanted to the neckline. It came out looking PERFECT! The woman there was beyond sweet, understood exactly what I wanted, and did it in record time (one week). She even came in on Sunday, when they are closed, to let me try it on and pick it up. Oh — and she only charged me $ 85! For a WEDDING dress.

WOW 5 stars! Ok so I received a dress I ordered online and it was way too big. I had to attend a wedding out of state 2 days later, so I quickly Googled «alterations» in my area. This place was 3 min away, so I grabbed the dress and a pair of my husband’s dress pants that were a bit too long and hopped in the car.
I was a little hesitant at first… Express Alterations is definitely «hole in the wall» and though I passed it a million times I had never seen it before – you won’t see it unless you’re looking. Upon entering, the proprietor (a nice Asian woman) had me try on the dress, she pinned it, and I told her to take 1 inch off the pants. I told her I needed it Friday morning (this was Wednesday late in the day) and she said OK. So Friday I went back and tried the newly altered dress on-​it was PERFECT! I was thrilled. She did an amazing job. She took it in, made the slits higher, make a few other small changes, and hemmed the dress pants. The total bill? $ 20!
I will definitely be returning… wearing a dress altered to my body was amazing and I would love to have her make some adjustments on other items of clothing!
