    Kim’s Tailoring with Lety is AMAZING! She does impeccable work and charges very decent prices. Last summer I got 6 items fixed for ~100. Everything I bring to Lety ends up looking INCREDIBLE on me. She is amazing!

    First off, I love that Kim's Tailoring is open until 7 pm and you can bring in a pair of pants for hemming after work. Usually, you're rushing to get to the tailor early in the morning and this feels so much more humane.First, you go into the little dressing room that's plopped into the front of the shop and Kim pulls out a 2x2 boxed step in front of a mirror. You step up and Kim pins your pants. You approve the length as you watch in the mirror and then change out of the pants. At the counter, she asks when you want the pants... I picked 2 days later and it was no problem. Two days and $20 later, I swung by again just before 7 and left with the hemmed pants.Kim's is super convenient for me. She's also a fine seamstress, having done a wonderful job on a tricky hem that has a zipper down the outside of each leg. She had a clever solution that cut the zippers (in order to hem the pants) but retained the integrity of the zippers.I took away one star because the little dressing room's floor is always filthy with fibers, hair, clothes tags, and loose straight pins. Be careful not to step on a straight pin when you're in your stocking feet changing pants.

    She's such a friendly, warm, and accommodating lady, the Mesa shopping center is lucky to have her there.I had some tailoring done by her and she did a terrific job, and that was working with denim and that can be difficult, and she did a terrific job.
