What My Clients Are Saying

I’m proud to have helped so many people feel confident and comfortable in their clothes as their local tailor. Here’s what some of my amazing clients have to say about their experiences with my alterations.

Teri provides excellent service and she is an expert in her craft! She is very well organized, professional, and extremely fun to work with! You cannot ask for a better customer experience.

Teri did an amazing job hemming my formal dress. She really knows what she is doing. She is super friendly and amazing to work with.

So glad I followed many local recommendations for Teri. I will now happily and highly recommend her as well. She is so quick, efficient and super friendly. She perfectly fixed a pair of my son’s beloved sweat pants in seconds!Wish I could give her an extra stars for chatting and letting me love her pups!🐶❤️

Teri was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad for it. I was in a hurry to find a seamstress who could hem my dress, especially with my prom being two weeks away at the time. Teri is so quick and timely and got my dress done in a week, even with the amount of prom dresses she also had to get through. She’s aware of her workload, what she can get done, and understands the importance of an event and the date it’s needed by. I could not be happier with the length and the hem itself is very professional and clean.
