Took my dress here to have it taken in. The dress was about 2 sizes too big. Donna took her time and made me feel reassured she could do it. Sure enough, my dress is perfect!! Could not recommend Altered enough! Will be a returning customer for sure!

I had a wool winter coat with 2 layers to sew through to put in a zipper.. it was perfect.
Also, she did a repair on my son’s boxing glove which perfect also.
