My blue dress (not the bride's dress) was altered here
My dress was altered here
Here's my beautiful dress, altered by Ana on the right!
Easy to miss. Two parking spaces out front.
3 layer bridesmaid dress. $45, which is cheaper that 70, 65, and 75 for other places. Will write review once it's done.

I have brought many people here to get alterations. I've also had them do e for myself.You walk in and you wait your turn. It's small but it's how to keep going in this economy. She will give you her full attention when she's getting your measurements. This lady knows her craft. She is quick with her assessment and I e never had anyone I took there be less than satisfied. Yes, it's worth every penny. If you want your item to fit right this place gets the job done.

Overpriced!I brought my dress here for formal to get hemmed since my dress was too long. I gave the woman more than a week to do so. She charged me $48 which is ridiculous. I'm from California and have a favorite alteration place by my home. It costs $15 for almost any alteration and sometimes I take pants or dresses in with less than a week's notice, even during busy prom season. She didn't even alter it correctly. It was uneven and still too long in the back. All she did when I came in was put a few safety pins on and I couldn't tell the length it would be. My favorite alteration place at home puts pins all throughout across the front and back so I can see how it'll look when it's done. Don't recommend this place. I wish I had more time to check out other options.

I used Fast Alterations for my wedding dress alterations, and they were great to work with - I'd recommend them to anyone needing alterations!My wedding dress was purchased well in advance of my wedding, and I happened to (unintentionally) lose weight in the meantime, so needed it taken in quite a bit.The seamstress understood my predicament and did about three different alterations over the course of a few months leading up to the wedding (but told me to stop losing weight LOL)She did most of the alterations along the button line at the back, so they'd blend in and not show in any photos. There were also alterations done to the bust line to bring it in more (also not noticeable in photos).If you're needing alterations to any garment, Fast Alterations does quality work and in a convenient amount of time!

Okay so I'll start by saying they do match their name, if you want a super quick turnaround with alterations, this is your place. I was able to get my blue velvet dress that I wore for my sister's wedding in for alterations with only a 48 hour notice. Certainly my fault for waiting so long, but sometimes things get overlooked. I saw them online and they were able to get me in quickly that same day. When I walked in, the place smelled heavily like cat urine, and I saw cats around. Not a huge deal to me, but not somewhere I wanted to spend a great deal of time. When I picked my dress up and tried it on, I noticed that they only lifted the straps but didn't adjust the bra pads inside, so they were much higher than where I needed the bra to be. Thankfully the dress was dark and it wasn't very noticeable, but it wasn't comfortable. I'll have to take it back to another tailor to fix if I want to wear it again. All in all, I knew that with a fast alteration, I couldn't expect perfection, so I'm not going to be too hard on them for that. The pricing was somewhat reasonable, but ultimately the lesson is you're going to have to manage your expectations if you go to a tailor who specializes in quick alterations.

I had a suit for a wedding tailored here and ref service was awesome. The owner is excellent and the suit came back perfect. I highly recommend this place for alterations!

This tailor-seamstress at the beginning of the Benson strip comes off a bit curt, but the job she does for the prices she does it at is worth the slightly strained interactions. I called in a few times to get a quote about a bridesmaid dress I needed altered for a wedding. I think the phone number must be her cell phone because the first time I called she answered it but told me she was at the dentist. I was pretty confused, and hung up. A few hours later she called back and told me she could see me at her shop in 10 mins, but as it was the middle of the work day and I was clear across town 17 miles away I told her I would come in on another day. She asked me to call ahead prior to coming in.On the day I wanted to take my dress in, I called 20 mins before as she has asked, but she told me she only had time to measure me in 40 mins. So I wandered the Benson strip for a while waiting for my verbally made appointment. The appointment was lightning fast- I changed in a dressing room, she applied 6-7 safety pins, and I was back in the dressing room again. I paid my $48 up front and got a receipt that indicated to pick it up in a week.So that was that. It all seemed a bit rushed and confusing but the final product speaks for itself. I would go there again if i needed some pants or a dress hemmed.

Ana is a machine. She works like an absolute beast to get your alterations done within your timeline and at a reasonable price. She's honest, upfront and a no-nonsense business owner. I love supporting strong, independent women like her and will continue referring people her way.

READ THIS REVIEW! Do not trust the overall 4.5 start review as it is not indicative of what you will get!!! I never leave reviews (especially bad ones) but I am at my best friends wedding and my dress barely fits! I paid $85 and the only thing that really changed for the better is the length. She made the top tight in all the wrong places so it is tight but also baggy at the same time. To top all this off the dress wasn't ready when I went to pick it up and I was leaving for the out of town wedding that day. This place was way overpriced and very poorly done. My dress kinda fits so it worked out okay but could have been a very bad situation:/

i brought in a bridesmaids dress that needed to be shortened about a week before the wedding. i was able to call in, arrive at the store that afternoon and drop off my dress. i was worried about if i waited too long to get it done, but i was able to pick it up the day before i left town and if fit perfectly! paid about $50 which i think is fair for the time it took. i will definitely choose them again for my next dress needing an alteration!
