Sewing And Alterations in Austin

“I will never go anywhere else! Every single item i've brought to Ina Tailors has been treated with so much love and attention. They helped alter my bridal shower dress and the most important item I'll ever wear - my wedding dress! The entire process was so easy! They are flexible, quick to respond and just the friendliest team you'll ever meet!“

“Sara was so kind and efficient with each of my visits. I felt truly comfortable leaving my dream dress in her hands; her confidence was really comforting, esp when coordinating a wedding in New York. Thank you for everything, Sara!“

“After asking around about where to go to get denim tailored I brought in two pairs of denim to be altered here at Gassane Tailors. Mr. Gassane exceeded my expectations. The two pairs now fit perfectly and the service provided by him and his son was wonderful. I will be going back!“

“My husband had 2 pairs of slacks that he needed done for an upcoming business trip. He was not able to come try on due to his busy schedule. Ms. Bali was able to taper and hem the 2 pants by comparing them to another slack. My husband says they fit perfect and very happy with how they turned out. She will be our go to for future alterations. She is priced reasonably and does exceptional work.“

“Such a pleasant experience getting my dress tailored here. Lovely women owned business!“

“Incredibly good work done very quickly. The woman running the shop is a treasure and sweet as can be. Highly recommend“

“Alex is the BEST!

I am a sartorialist with a ton of one-of-a-kind menswear items. I take my choice of tailor very seriously.

Alex has an excellent eye, and has consistently done great work for the dozens of items I have brought to him and his team.“

“I read multiple reviews of countless alterations companies before deciding to work with Tailor Maid. I even spoke with bridal boutiques to see who recommended for alterations. It was clear that Tailor Maid had an impeccable reputation. When I reached out to them for a quote, I also sent videos and photographs of my dress. They responded with a short list of anticipated alterations and associated costs. In the final cost, there were no surprises- everything very closely reflected their anticipated quote. Their appointment scheduling process was easy and flexible. I have an incredibly Inflexible work schedule with sometimes unpredictable hours. They were willing to work with me in order to help me make fitting appointments. They had a great eye when it came to needed changes, suggestions and did their best to keep cost in mind (which I always appreciate!). They were able to make the alterations quickly so that I didn't have a single stressor when it came to my dress. It looked absolutely gorgeous and fit like a glove when I made it to my wedding day!“

“I didn't get an alteration done, but when I went to get a quote the lady at the front was honest and gave me useful advice on why It wasn't worth it to get my item altered.“

“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.“

“Great customer service. I wear suits 5 days a week and am constantly in and out of this location. The entire staff all work so hard and are great to their customers. I have a conference Im going to for work for the next week and a half and I needed to pick my shirt up before I left. I got off work late today and Stephen graciously offered to stay late so I could pick up my stuff. I’m truly grateful to have such a reliable and affordable dry cleaner in my area. Highly recommend!!“

“Yvonne did a perfect job altering my dress for me. She hemmed it and took it in at the waist. I had two weeks before a wedding i had to attend and she got it done early and for a fair price. Highly recommend!“

“I have been a few times now and feel so happy that I have finally found my go to tailor in Austin. Joel and his team do an amazing job on every single garment I have taken - whether it's a complicated hem on a wedding dress to something simple like a waist alteration -- they take the time to work with me to solution the best way to achieve the desired result. everything is so well done you can hardly even tell it was tailored. truly a work of art. The timelines are always doable, Joel even worked overtime for me to have a dress in time. I truly would recommend time and time again.“

“I came here multiple times for my wedding dress alternations and for other items after that. Lidia is truly the reason I keep coming back, she is so kind and helpful. She offers suggestions and works efficiently with quick turnaround times to meet deadlines. I highly recommend coming here for any alterations you need!“

“Wow, I finally found a reliable and old-school dry cleaners! I had tried a few, but I had terrible experiences. I didn’t like that they had put barcodes on my clothes and that they had a weird, dirty, musty smell. But this place exceeded my expectations! It was quick, and there were no barcodes or weird smells. I was happy with the service, and I’ll be back. Thank you!“

“Purchased my wedding dress at Unbridaled in Austin, which recommended Jamie's Alterations. A bit of a drive from South Austin, but worth it! She took about 3 months to finish the alterations, and I was very happy with her quality of work.“

“Have been there 2 times for alterations. They were very friendly. The work was great and done at the time they said it would be. I highly recommend this business.“

“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.“

“Best tailoring and alteration shop in Austin! I’ve been a repeat customer for years and plan to be one for years to come. They do top quality work and their prices can’t be beat. 11/10, highly recommended!“

“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“

“Needed two suit pants altered and dry cleaned on short notice. They had it ready on time and did a great job.“

“brought in a suit for my husband and received it back good as new. price is fair and the people working there are very good people“

“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“

“I needed a dress cleaned and was in the area of this location. The young woman who took my order was very informative and friendly. The turn-around time was great-in fact, they had it ready much earlier than what they told me. The price was quite reasonable. I was also allowed to use a coupon that I found at the Jack Brown website. I plan to use this location for future cleaning.“
