About Chay's Dressmaking Alterations
Chay's Dressmaking Alterations is highly praised for its exceptional dressmaking and alteration services. The owner, Leilani, is described as a miracle worker, especially noted for her ability to create custom wedding dresses from scratch based only on a picture. One customer shared her experience of needing a wedding dress quickly, as the one she wanted was unavailable in time. After being turned away by other shops, she found Leilani, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. She made the wedding dress for a reasonable price, and the customer was thrilled with the detail and speed of the work, completing the dress in just a month and a half. Customers also appreciate the shop's accommodating approach, offering fittings with the garment on the body for more accurate alterations, which has led to excellent results on various garments. One customer had a leather dress altered and expressed satisfaction with the perfect fit. However, it is important to note that the shop only accepts cash or checks, and there is a reminder for customers to pick up their items promptly to avoid them being sent to the thrift store after 30 days. Overall, Chay's Dressmaking Alterations is celebrated for quality work, a pleasant atmosphere, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction.
Leilani is an AMAZING seamstress, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER to anyone!
We had 3 dresses that needed alterations for our son’s Wedding (because they were either too big, or they didn’t fit correctly, or were immodest), but Leilani listened, pinned and tucked until they were perfect! She even “let out” one arm hole (to accommodate a healing broken shoulder that is bigger than normal) and she didn’t even charge extra for a second fitting alteration! These dresses look SO GOOD now, that you can’t even tell that they were altered in the first place! Leilani DEFINITELY HAS AN EYE FOR DETAIL! She is SO TALENTED! I plan to recommend her to ALL of my friends...read full review

Chay's Dressmaking is great! I visited after trying 2 other alteration shops and was turned away for not having my measurements done at home already. She has a changing room so you can put on the garment and then pins it while it is on your body.She did an excellent job on a somewhat difficult garment. It was not just a simple hemming, however, she did a great job!I did not receive a phone call when my garment was ready for pick up. There is a sign reading that items not picked up within 30 days go to the thrift store. I am glad I called to check a week after the quoted time period otherwise I would never have known.Notes: Cash or check only - no credit cards. The Maverick...read full review
