The Nicest Woman You Will Ever Meet!. Barbara goes out of her way to make your dress just the way you want it. She is so great at what she does. I have never felt more welcomed or cared for by any "vendor" during my whole wedding planning process. She even had a veil specially made as a surprise! It was exactly what i was wanting but could not find anywhere! She is very afforodable and does superior work. She did all of my alterations and my husbands suit alterations for less than what my bustle alone would have cost anywhere else. I will be a customer for life!

Extremely Rude behavior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. First of all, I search for this place on google and had very good reviews. Actually it was 22 people gave their feedback and over all it was 4.5/5 stars in ratings. I called them but no one answer and I left a message, and no one called me back!!!! In their voice message, no one said that, you should make an appointment first, also it doesn't say that, it was HOME!!!!

Me and my girl friend went to this place, my girl friend asked me to go first and she will be waiting in the car, just in case of some thing unusual happen. (She might had sense some thing weird!!!)

I went up there rang the door bell, their was old skinny white guy opened the door with mustache (all white hair) and I asked him very nicely if this is the Alteration place??? First he seems confused and I thought that it might be wrong place and then, I told him that, I found this address on google for alteration, then he told me that, I have to make an appointment. I told him that I called several hours earlier and no one called me back and he was persisting to make an appointment first. I was telling him very calmly and nicely that, in the voice message their was no indication to make an appointment first or you will be confronted by an ANGRY PERSON.

He suddenly START SCREAMING YELLING AT ME AND ASKED ME TO (GET LOST)!!!! SLAMMED THE DOOR......... on my face.

Is this the way you deal with your customer, who come at your door??? I believe not. But I was scared from him and ran away in my car. Me and my girl friend was so scared and upset. I don't know if he was going to take his GUN after he SLAMMED the DOOR on me!!!!

I MUST NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANY ONE.!!!!! SCARY AND RUDE.

Saved my wedding dress!!!. I can't say enough amazing things about Barb. She literally saved my wedding dress! I had purchased my dress at a major chain and they completely botched the bustle - the bustle points clearly showed on my train through puckered material and the bustle itself worked against the way the dress and just looked awful. And this was all one week before my wedding (I had a 2-month engagement). Panicking and near tears I searched for a reputable seamstress to see if the dress could be fixed - I got ahold of Barb and she told me to come in that same day. She quickly saw all the issues with the bustle and had it tacked up into a beautiful bustle within 30 seconds...the way the dress was created to have a bustle too! It was an asymmetrical silhouette that needed an asymmetrical bustle - and Barb knew that immediately. After she showed me what it should look like and calmed my fears about the dress she sent me on my way and told me she would have it done within a few days.

When I came back in and tried it on - it was perfect. She had removed and steamed out the bustle points in the middle of my train and had redone the bustle completely - plus fixed a couple other minor issues. I once again felt like a beautiful bride in my dress!!

Barb totally saved my wedding dress and I can't express enough my gratitude for her work! She's a true expert on dresses and alterations. If you need something done, be sure to go to her!!

Friendly,helpful, honest. Barbara has done all kinds of things for us. She has made dresses for my son's wedding (three flower girls), she has altered dance costumes for a granddaughter, she has altered formal dresses...you name it, she has done it. She is always up front about what will work, how much it will cost, and she ALWAYS does a beautiful job. Anyone, who wants a real seamstress with a very artistic yet realistic eye...run, don't walk to her door. She will get everything done for you and it will be done right! (:

Great service; great price; great timing!. I bought a dress last year and decided to wear it again this year. I happened to try it on Monday evening to see how it looked with some new thigh-highs, and discovered it was now approximately a size too large.

The event I needed it for was Friday night!

I took the dress in Tuesday morning and was out in 15 minutes. It was ready Friday morning and it was perfect. Ms. Williams not only fixed the too-big problem, but also suggested shortening the dress (which was needed!) and tacked down a decorative ribbon that kept coming untied.

The next time I need an alteration done, this will be my first choice!
