Hello fellow petite ladies - this place should be on your speed dial.
I'm tiny (just slightly under 5' tall) so everything has to be altered.
When I move to Charlotte about 7 months ago I started looking for a tailor immediately as I was getting married and needed a few outfits for the wedding weekend taken in.
Location/Atmosphere: Located in Dilworth in the same shopping center as the Famous Toastery. There is plenty of parking! The shop itself is rather large. They have about 6 dressing rooms for you to try on your clothing before coming out and getting measured. The shop is always clean. There is plenty of natural light which really helps when you are trying on the clothes.
Service: You are always greeted when you open the door. The women that work there are very sweet and prompt. I typically bring my own shoes, but they always have an available pair.
Price: I think it's pretty reasonable, but I'm also coming from DC and NY where alterations were pretty expensive. I had a Jenny Yoo bridesmaid dress with multiple layers altered here recently (taken in on the straps and hemmed) and it cost about $50.
Notes: It's a simple process, they'll ask if you need a room, you change, come out of the dressing room and get on a provided step or platform, they'll discuss your wants and give their opinion (if asked), they'll dust and pin as necessary! They make it very simple and easy and I've never had to wait more than 2 minutes.
Thanks ladies at Anna! Happy to have found you!
