I needed a bridesmaid dress taken in, it was about a size too big. I came in on a Thursday and he had it ready for me on Monday. The changing room is a little small and the door doesn't lock but Dario knows what he's doing. He even made a recommendation not to alter the dress further when I mentioned I wanted it shorten. The dress fits beautifully and I'm glad I didn't take any length off. I don't know what it typically costs to get a dress altered but $20 cash and I was out the door.

They are very expensive. Was very disappointed. I expected a nice invisible hem, but received a very noticeable machine double stitched basted stitch. Should have known better when I was not given a price and was given a generic blank receipt. Make sure you take plenty of cash as that is the only form of payment they want despite posted signage of credit cards taken. Very rude telling you to go across the street to a private ATM to get them cash. Would not recommend.

Overpriced. Does not have the proper equipment (a serger, for example). Does not press the altered item, so it's difficult to tell when you pick up whether it is quality work. I will be correcting his errors by hand. If I had a sewing machine, I could have easily done this work at the same quality level. Beware. Mine was not a new skirt, and I can fix it. But the new hem looks nothing like the finished hem I left with him. He also insists on being right, and will argue until he just wears you out.
