Sewing And Alterations in Austin

“I brought in several pair of Wrangler jeans to have them altered. They did a beautiful job at a very fair price. This was my first visit to Ina Tailors. Both ladies I met there were very professional and friendly. I will definitely use their services in the future.“

“I needed a shirt altered on a rush basis. They got it out quickly, correctly, and ahead of schedule. Pricing was fair and customer service was excellent! Highly recommend!!“

“Tailor Made saved the day by helping me with a quick turnaround on my bridesmaid dress! Another shop poorly altered the dress, and she not only fixed the dress but made further adjustments that helped it better fit me. I cannot speak highly enough of this business. Save yourself the tears and just GO HERE!“

“I had a fantastic experience with Jamie. She made some minor fitting adjustments to my dress and did the hem and bustle and it was perfect. I felt that it was well priced and she was kind and professional. Scheduling was easy and the appointments were quick. The dress fit perfectly and looked beautiful on my wedding day!“

“Lees Tailor is the absolute best tailor!! I have had so many good experiences here. They are so nice and talented.Their prices and timelines are reasonable. The alterations always come out perfect! And they’re honest about what can and cannot be done.Most recently, I brought in a costume that I had custom-ordered for a party. It had arrived late and the top was too big / fit weird. They turned it around on a super short timeline and they even stayed a little past their closing time (I misremembered their weekend hours) so that I could get the outfit before my event. I appreciate that they understood how important the event was to me and they were so kind and flexible.I had multiple dresses for a Pakistani wedding altered here. One of the dresses was very intricately beaded as was one of the tops. They were able to work with the delicate pieces to achieve the fit that I wanted while preserving the original styles.And I’ve had several other casual pieces altered.Bonus: the store has some fun pop art and kitschy decor.“

“Had a custom suit made for my wedding, as I'm very tall and do not fit suits off the rack. Thoroughly pleased with the work done by Gassane Tailors, and will be returning for alterations and all my other tailoring needs!“

“Will definitely be back! The owner is so nice, she got our alterations done fast, and they look great“

“Had two alterations done. Both were perfect. Whoever did the job made the shorter sleeves on my blouse look really nice using the buttons from the old cuffs. What a nice surprise! The customer service was great, too.“

“Had to get a dress altered for a wedding, and she did a great job! I had a bunch of tulle on the outside of the skirt portion and the sleeves, and she was able to work with it well. Highly recommend if you need to get anything tailored!“

“Very friendly, the price was reasonable and they did an excellent job altering my gown. Thank you! I’ll be back!“

“I brought a dress in to be hemmed with a tight timeline and they got it done early and did an incredible job. I took the dress to Ace Tailors on N Lamar first and they quoted me $138. AA Alterations did it for $38. I never have items altered because I don't want to spend the money but now I will take my items here!“

“They did a great job with my wedding dress! I had the waist taken out, bustle loops added and the dress layers hemmed slightly. They had no problem doing everything on time. My dress fit perfectly and it turned out beautifully! Photos: Taliaferro photography“

“Mr. Oliva tailored my pants perfectly. I like the laid back vibe of his shop and the private dressing rooms are awesome. I will definitely be back.“

“This place can be great, but be careful- there's a major language barrier. Don't bring in anything you couldn't stand to see altered in a way you wouldn't like. I always get holes in the knees of my jeans, which didn't matter until I started buying more expensive jeans. I'd get maybe one pair a year which would typically last longer. But they'd still eventually wear out and get holes in the knees. My wife eventually asked me to throw them out, but I discovered this place which went to heroic lengths to patch up anything. The results looked kind of messy but also cool. That was all well and good. But for the past two years I've taken exceedingly good care of the last pair of jeans I bought. For instance, I always make sure to pull them up to add some slack to the knees when I sit down so I won't stress the fabric there. In spite of my efforts the other day I noticed a very tiny hole had started to form (not even big enough to stick my finger through). I decided to be proactive about it and take them to Velma's before the problem got worse. They say a stitch in time saves nine, right? I'm crestfallen because for some reason Vilma's Tailor Shop sewed giant patches in BOTH knees of these otherwise perfect looking jeans (tangent: to be fair there was a knick- but not quite a hole - around the other knee; however I didn't ask them to fix that problem at all!). There's now this noticeable line of stitches in a boring 10x6 inch box pattern on the outside that make the jeans look weird, like I had them bedazzled. That's always a risk of patching up jeans, but I didn't ask for a patch in them at all- I just wanted a simple stitch! I also got a previous pair fixed and some of the patches were smaller- like 6 x 3.5 inches. So if they could've used a smaller patch, why didn't they? These were easily my favorite pair of jeans and now they look so stupid. I don't have the money to buy a new pair right now but that's all I've been able to think about since returning home. I don't understand why a tiny problem had to be addressed with a huge alteration. It's not intuitive. However they don't have great English skills here and I'm wondering if maybe when I was warned and accepted this somehow so its on me. I tried very hard to talk with her to just let her know I was disappointed, but it was impossible to communicate the subtleties even with the help of Google translate. I'm only knocking one star off my review because I feel like good people are working here and they try their best, and this was mostly a communication problem. I can't help but feel responsible because I dropped them off and had issues communicating in the first place. In hindsight I never should have handed them my best pair of jeans but did because I'd had good experiences in the past and didn't think they'd do something so bizarre . If you've read my warnings and follow them it will be a five star experience.“

“The Seamstress and her husband do absolutely wonderful work and are so accommodating. I needed a last minute repair on a particularly difficult item, a very high end leather skirt with a split seem. She made time for me as I explained to her it was a rush job and she worked some serious magic in 20 minutes or less. It was like the tear never happened. Looked brand new. And it only cost ~$13. Couldn’t have had a better experience.Service: Alterations“

“Incredible staff, professional service. Iv rushed into the place more times then I could count to get a last second cleaning and they take care of me for a great price.“

“This is the ONLY place I trust with my clothes. I am sorry to see someone say they had a negative experience. But I think it is worth sharing mine. I have been bringing my dry cleaning here exclusively for years. I go out of my way to only use this location. I have dropped off hundreds of items at this point. Nothing has ever been lost or damaged. It always comes back to me better than I left it. They have even pulled off some impressive saves for items I wasnt sure could ever be the same. I have never had or heard anyone else have a complaint. Always extremely happy with the quality and condition. In fact, a different location damaged a dress of mine then gave it back without telling me. Laura made it right from this location. She is the best! She truly understands fabric, the process, and what is best for any given item. She also deeply cares about honest consultation, quality work, and customer satisfaction. Not the cheapest place but not unreasonable priced. Worth it to me considering my clothes are always accounted for, taken care of, and ready on time.“

“Life savers! Had to be at a wedding in 24 hours and they cleaned and made me suit look like I just bought it. Very responsible, hard working staff. Highly recommended“

“Sabrina, Fabian and Silvia ARE THE BEST!! I've been bringing my clothes here since they opened they've never lost anything or always, friendly and professional!!“

“Always knows me and is ready to help. I take my huge bed comforters and blankets and they are always clean and fresh. Duluxe Cleaners packages then to go in handled bags! I love that touch. Makes it so much easier to carry AND store.“

“Always done when said and they got difficult stains out of several items. Austin staple for a reason.“

“Good pricing and efficient service. They hemmed a bridesmaid dress I needed shortened“

“I cannot say enough positive things about Tom. He altered my wedding dress less than a week before my wedding! It’s perfect and I feel so beautiful. He’s insanely talented! I highly recommend him for all your alterations.“

“The job is very good and the employees are wonderful
The price is a little expensive, but it is worth it“

“I have been looking for a good tailor in town for years. H&P Alterations did perfect work on some jeans and a jumper. Recommend!“
