I'm short and now that I'm all grown up, I'm finding the importance of finding a good place for alterations. I just brought a few pairs of jeans for hemming. Simple enough. They do the job well and in a timely manner (3 days; for an extra charge, they can do same day alterations). No muss, no fuss. The women I've interacted have been really friendly and the prices are very good. $10 to hem jeans. Though they take credit cards, you can save 5% if you pay cash.
This past week, I brought in a few dresses to be hemmed and taken in. Again, the work was great and they have given these old dresses some new life. For those of you who are trying to live more "green," reviving old clothing (as opposed to buying new clothes) is the way to go.
Another good thing is that their prices are laid out on their board when you enter. Therefore, you know exactly what you're getting in to. This isn't the place where you can haggle for a discount. I definitely respect this. The people who run this shop stand by their work and their prices are fair. I'm definitely coming back!
