Alterations by Nora

Nora was so flexible I accommodating me into her schedule after hours. I was really in need of an alteration for my bridesmaid dress and didn’t have much time. She was nice, precise, and professional. She’s been sewing for a while and even made lots of wedding dresses in her time. Best of all the price was reasonable, esp. For a rush job. My dress fit like a glove. I highly recommend her.

She did a great job, and was able to do a quick turnaround time! Beautifully landscaped home as well.

After doing a little online searching for a good seamstress, I found Nora’s listing on Unilocal and I’m so glad I did. I had a bridesmaid dress that needed the length taken up a bit and Nora did a perfect job. The dress still grazes the floor like I wanted, but it’s not so long that I will trip over it or step on it. The turnaround time for the dress was fast — one week, and very affordable in my opinion. Nora is a kind woman who works out of her home. If you love supporting small local businesses like I do, look no further for a skilled seamstress.

I used Ms. Nora twice for alterations. The first time, her work on my lace-​top formal gown was great. She hemmed two layers and took the shoulders up for $ 75. So I brought my bridesmaid dress to her to take the shoulders up again and put small darts in the armpits ($ 35). Well this time she ruined my $ 150 dress! Burnt holes in the appliqué where she hemmed it and then took an iron to press it. She protested over and over it wasn’t her but I have before and after photos that show the dress was damaged while in her care. I am so upset. It’s a two weeks before my sisters wedding and my expensive maid of honor dress is ruined.
Edit: I brought before and after pictures to her as proof of the damage. I asked for $ 185 for compensation ($ 35 alteration + $ 150 dress), but the only way she would fully compensate me was if she kept the dress because she claimed it was sellable. Though I do not know who would buy a dress with holes in it, we settled on $ 140 for compensation. At least I have enough to get a new dress. Otherwise Ms. Nora does great work. I would be willing to let her hem other items, just nothing appliqué.

I came here after doing a quick search on the Unilocal app, after my old tailor decided to take customers just one day a week and, yes, that day wasn’t it.
I had to call just to make sure I was at the right place, because it’s pretty much a house with no sign or any clue that alterations are done here. Just walk up to the door and ring the bell and Nora will let you in.
I brought in a pair of jeans for a hem alteration and she did a great job. Took only one day too! Maybe she wasn’t too busy that week.
I brought cash and didn’t even bother to ask if she took cards.
She earned a new customer and I’ll be coming back here when I need a new alteration.

I was really in a bind for a pair of pants that I needed for work. I chose Nora’s after seeing great reviews on Unilocal,and all the Unilocalers were right! I dropped the pants off around 4:30 and she had them ready by 10 am the next morning and they’re the perfect length! Thank you so much Nora, will definitely be back for any other alterations I need!

Nora is the best! I asked for a quick turnaround on a formal dress & it turned out great!

Nora did an absolutely amazing job! She’s such a sweetheart and had it back to me very quickly! We’ll be coming back soon!

Nora is AMAZING! I love her. She’s the BEST!
She is most definitely NOT closed.
Call her or just stop by with any of your sewing needs during regular business hours.
She works out of her house and there is a small sign indicating such on the front wall.
