Alteration Studio

I had a dress altered here… it was the dress I wore to my son’s wedding. Service was excellent and the alteration was perfect. The price was very reasonable as well. I highly recommend this place. I’ll be back:).

Alteration Studio saved my friends wedding! I received my bridesmaid dress extremely late, and a size too big. Alteration Studio quickly tailored the dress, which fit perfectly, and even helped me get the dress when I had a time crunch before leaving out of town for the wedding. This place does quality work and is everything you want a small business to be — reliable, friendly, great customer service!

I brought a dress and a couple pairs of pants into this shop on a recommendation from a friend (who used Alteration Studio for her wedding dress alterations and was beyond happy with the results). The very nice lady there (I forgot her name…) made sure I washed and dried my new white linen pants before altering, and boy was I glad I did! They shrunk up just right and saved me the money altering! For the dress I brought in, I thought I needed a bunch of alterations. Turns out the elastic in the sleeves needed to be replaced. That’s it! And now the dress fits perfectly. This lady knows her stuff & does amazing work.

Have now come here a few times and she’s always fast and professional. The latest was for a stuck zipper on sweatshirt that I was sure I was going to have to replace the entire zipper but she managed to somehow get the pull off and replace it and the stoppers on top while keeping the track intact! Really happy with the results.

Brought in a silk dress to be hemmed for a special occasion. Was measured wearing flat shoes. When I wore it — with heels — it was trailing on the floor and a good 4 – 5 inches longer on one side at the front than the other which meant I was tripping over it the whole time. When I took it back the attitude was «I told you it would never be even» …well maybe a half an inch to an inch here and there would not be noticeable but this was unwearable (too long all around) and dramatically different from one side to the other… She agreed to re-​pin and re-​do (blaming the design and the fabric the whole time) but then when I went back to pick up wanted to charge me again almost the same amount as the first time… which I found unacceptable… There was no apology and she accepted no responsibility whatsoever for her work. «Why would you expect me to work for free?» Um well… because I already paid the first time, and to re-​do a very badly done job and to ensure an ongoing happy customer perhaps… Workmanship –0 Customer Service –0
Oh and she told me not to come back… like I was ever thinking of doing so :(

I brought several pieces here — 3 jackets –and was very pleased with the results. My stuff fit, it was done on time and the price was very reasonable. This is a little «gem» of Aptos!

Having been in apparel manufacturing, you know a find when you meet one. Super nice, super quick and professional. She fixed my zipper on the spot. I will be back and I will send everyone I know.

Great service, quality work. Brought in a couple of slacks and shirts to get altered. The alterations were done within the time they said and at a lower price then quoted. Good quality work, great price.

Wow, I’m really surprised that this is the first review! There’s almost always someone in there before or after me, so I know I’m not the only one who treasures this little gem of a place. I’ve been using Jadzia since she was across the street at the dry cleaners as their alteration person. I heard later from someone who LOVES leather jackets, that he had brought his jacket to her with a book bag or something that was the same type of leather, and she repaired his jacket using leather from the bag! How clever is that?
I remember bringing my 16 year old daughter to have Jadzia alter her dresses (when she was still at the dry cleaners), and now that daughter is married with a daughter of her own and she continues to bring her alteration needs there. I’ve brought so many things to her, from just simple alterations to dragging 4 girls for bridesmaid dresses for alteration and she’s done it all!
It’s wonderful to have someone close to where I live and had always been someone I can completely trust!
