    Ashley saved my pants from a horrendous alteration that someone else did. She didn't even have enough fabric left to work with, so she added extra fabric without it showing at all. I will definitely be coming back.

    I really needed to alter a graduation dress quickly and I was expecting a wait time of around 3 or 4 days but she said that it would be done in only a couple of hours. The dress fits amazingly and she is super sweet and knows exactly what she's doing. Would definitely recommend.

    Ashley is wonderful. In late 2021, I had a late Halloween costume that I realised (two days before Halloween!) was too large for me, especially around the arms. I spent the evening researching places where I could get my costume altered the next day, the day before Halloween, and decided on Piedmont Alterations. I lived nearby, so I took the 20 minutes walk down to explore Piedmont Ave and to hop down to Piedmont Alterations. It's a teeny little shop that I nearly missed... I'd thought it was a support for the much larger building behind/above it! Turns out that it's Ashley's store, and she does all her magic in this little space! I don't know how she does it, but she does. In the shop, she has made room for a rack of clothing she's working on, her counter and sewing machine/tools, and a privacy curtain for customers to check out her work. I popped in and was introduced to the owner herself. Ashley was busy with other a few other customers' projects, and furthermore she would have to leave a little bit early that day to attend a Halloween party... but she had me try on the costume, put a few pins in it to mark the adjustments she would be making, and then told me that she would be able to do it! I would be able to pick it up within 1-2 hours. It was a very reasonable price for a rush job: I believe $30 or somewhere in that range? The costume ended having no problems at all. I'm very glad I went to Ashley. If I hadn't, I would've worn a pretty baggy costume around! I'm amazed that Ashley was able to take the rush job on the day of and deliver so wonderfully. I would recommend anyone who needs alteration work done to go to Ashley. She is such a wonderful and pleasant woman as well. She has been in the area for years and years, and I imagine that she is humble and hard-working as ever. I believe from past reviews that her work has been unwaveringly excellent, and she is no-nonsense when it comes to doing the best work she possibly can and delivering quickly. If you visit Ashley, do give her my compliments, and the compliments of everyone else that is in her Yelp reviews!
