Trinh’s Alterations

Great alterations! Fast and friendly service. Did a great job on my wedding dress in only a week including the pressing. Very reasonably priced. Will be my go to for all future alterations!

Amazing service! I brought a faux suede/​leather skirt in to the shop to be taken in and she did such an amazing job! Will definitely bring everything I need to be altered here!

Trinh is excellent at what she does and is well-​priced. I’ve had her alter bridesmaid dresses, cocktail dresses and regular shirts before and she’s done nothing but the very best with everything that I’ve brought her. She knows what looks good on me, when things need to be altered and when I can just leave them alone. I recommend her very highly to everyone in the Richmond area. She’s worth it!

Good service. Fast and very friendly. She understands what you like and will accommodate your needs. She was very helpful even during the snow storm. Got my dress ready to wear for an event in two days !
Recommend to annoy one who needs a quick fix for their clothes!

Just picked up my wedding dress and am amazed by the phenomenal job she did! Great to work with– she shared several different different alteration options at different price ranges, made it easy for me to choose which works best for my budget. Her handiwork is beautiful, looks like the dress was made for me. She is very skilled with wedding dresses! She also did it in just a month which was such a relief. I highly recommend her!

Amazing alterations, wonderful woman, good price! We got 4 pairs of men’s slacks tailored and one suit jacket. It was all done perfectly and Trinh even gave us a nice suit hanger so we could keep the jacket in mint condition after we left. We will DEFINITELY be going back for anything we need altered!

Trinh is so friendly and welcoming!
I had two pair of pants hemmed for $ 50 total, seemed a little high, but it was my first time getting pants hemmed. My bad for not asking before getting them pinned up and everything or for not shopping prices.
Pants turned out perfect!

After my regular go to tailor was booked until the end of the year, I look desperately to find a tailor to take care of a suit alteration I needed for a birthday event in December. I decided to look on Unilocal and found Trinh’s Alterations on a list. Seeing that I share the name with the business I decided to go check it out myself.
I walked in on a Saturday early in the morning and I was automatically greeted by Trinh. Such as lovely, warm, and welcoming lady. She asked around and we both bonded on our shared ethnicity. I presented her with what I needed and the deadline I needed it by. She stated no problem. She even was willing to allow me to pay for the suit alteration after she completed it but I decided to honor her policy and immediately came back with the cash needed before she began the alteration.
Fast forward two weeks and Trinh had the suit jacket ready. I put it on and it was like magic. She displayed a mirror and explained to me some of the alterations she made to help resize the jacket. I was incredibly impressed and thanked her for the hard work.
I cannot recommend Trinh enough to help with your tailoring and alteration needs. She does fantastic work and is just such a great people person. I will be coming back and providing Trinh with more business. Come to her with your tailoring needs! Be sure to come with cash in hand and have your article of clothing cleaned and pressed.
5 out of 5 stars!!!

She is a really nice lady. Customized my dress for Thanksgiving party in a short notice. I told her that I would lose 5 pounds a week after the date she took the measurements, so she would need to estimate with knowledge on trailering. We both did it. When I pick the dress up, I was 5 lb. lighter and the dress fits me perfectly. I will name this shop as my official tailor from now on.

My husband had trousers and jeans shortened by Trinh and she did a great job. Her prices are reasonable, the alterations were well done, and she is friendly as well. We will certainly use her services again in the future.

Trinh is so wonderful! She is so friendly and does great work. If you are in a pinch she will even work to get things done really quickly. The prices are reasonable considering the quality of the work and the consistency of her work as well. She’s also open later than most tailors which helps for working professionals. Definitely a great find!

Glad to finally find my alterations spot. Bounced around from the wash & tailor spot on Shepherd St. near monument to Vincents on Libbie x Grove. Neither had skills like Trinhs has.
My style: late 20s w/​street/​tailored fashion. Mostly premium selvage denim worn skinny & slim fitting tops/​jackets.
If you’re going for that style just be prepared to communicate that assertively when she’s marking your jeans & they will come out perfect! She kept the existing double-​stitching & hem line my jeans already had!
She’s just a little pricier than my go to spot in vabeach but can’t substitute finding the tailor you’ll want to return to.

This place is AMAZING! I needed the hem taken up for my Halloween costume and Trinh took me on the spot and even finished the job in only a couple of hours. Not only was the hem done perfectly, but Trinh even fixed an inconsistency in the threading done by the person who made the garment for me. Definitely going back there for all of my alterations and recommending to everyone I know as well!

I’m a student at VCU and I was in a rush to get my suit altered for an interview and Trinh did a beautiful job in such a short period of time. Not only was her workmanship impeccable, but she was very sweet about getting it done on time for me. Also, a wonderful plus, she even ironed my slacks for me. Highly recommended!

Trinh does excellent work! I had a bridesmaid dress that needed to be let out. It was a difficult case because the dress had multiple layers and the zipper was broken. Not only that, but I had only 4 days before I had to leave for the wedding. She was very honest from the first visit and even tried to repair my zipper to help me save money. She was able to have it ready for me to try on 2 days before my takeoff so we’d have plenty of cushion time in case anything needed fixing. I ended up having her replace my zipper anyway and it looked even better than the original one; you could barely see the zipper! The dress fit perfectly and she had it ready ahead of schedule so I didn’t have to worry about timing.
Trinh has a wonderful personality and is very willing to accommodate with any requests. Her prices are very reasonable. She is very knowledgeable in her work and addressed all of my concerns. I would definitely trust her with any work in the future.

Trinh is awesome! She’s not only a great person but a great seamstress. If you’re cutting it close to closing time because of work, call ahead and she’ll wait a couple extra minutes for you.
She seems like a genuine person who will tell you how something can be altered to fit you best. There’s been two times where I was getting things altered and two different customers stopped by just to say hi! They weren’t even coming to pick anything up. I think that says a lot about what kind of a person she is :).
She’s altered silk, cotton, tweed, stretchy cotton blend, leather, and denim for me. I’ve never had a problem with any of her alternations. Not all of them were easy either. A lot of them required her to open the shoulders to lift/​shorten the torso which meant removing and reattaching the sleeves. A couple had to be slimmed in the bust. Bust alternations can easily go wrong and all of her alternations fit perfectly.
All in all she’s great at what she does and she’s an honest person when she’s not sure she can do the alternation she’ll make another suggestion so you won’t come out with a ruined item.

I decided to stop in here because I had a traditional Vietnamese men’s ao dai. I am getting married so I had to make sure that my garment was in the hands of someone that was familiar with Vietnamese formal wear. I found Trinh’s Alterations through Unilocal and I’m so glad that I did. She took in my áo dài, which was too big. She also shortened up the sleeves. What was impressive was that the hand stitched buttons had to be removed carefully and reattached after the sides were taken in. I’m very happy with Trinh’s work and she was one of the warmest and friendliest person to do business with. She used to work for Nordstrom’s tailoring until she opened up her own place. Trinh’s Alteraions was tricky to find because it is in between two buildings. Only the business sign was visible. I’ll be sure to come back here for more alterations.
Tip: No credit cards are taken at this time, which is a slight inconvenience.

I found this place through reviews on Unilocal about two years ago, and Trinh definitely does not disappoint when it comes to her workmanship and kind personality. I came by here to simply have my two suits altered. Not only did she alter my suits in such a high quality and clean finish — Trinh is a very personable lady who cares about how you and your family are doing. Her prices are affordable, and, once again, her final product is quick with no flaws whatsoever. I highly recommend going to Trinh’s to have your suit altered if you want to look great.

The lady who owns this shop clearly takes pride in her work, as she should. I needed some outfits hemmed for a last minute but major job interview. Trinh’s was able to alter five pairs of pants and four suit jackets in three days for only about 20 $ an outfit. She was such a joy to speak with and was incredibly knowledgable. I would recommend anyone and everyone to her.

Trinh is amazing and so helpful! I came to her after checking out at least five other alteration places in richmond and dealing with so many rude ladies with their high prices. When I got to Trinh she was a friendly breath of fresh air and immediately stopped what she was doing to help me… that’s just her character, as far as her work… Amazing! There was soooo much to fix on my wedding dress and she also offered advice and tips to make it look better. She was able to work with my timeline and under my budget. She’s extremely flexible and unbelievable nice. I never want to go to another alteration place, I think I’ve found the perfect fit!
