This is the place to take your alterations!!! I've been looking for a little mom & pop kind of place that's affordable and does good work. By word of mouth, I came across this GEM in Las Vegas.
Located in the indoor "Fantastic Swapmeet" on Decatur and Oakey, you have to pay $1 to get into the building. But not far f rom the entrance down Hall B to the left, you'll find their little booth. Don't expect these people to chatty chat chat. Their sparse booth let's you know, they're just here to work.
A had a couple of suit jackets that needed the sleeves shortened and the vents recut. All of the jackets were lined. $10 each. 10 BUCKS. I've had to pay 3x this in drycleaners close to my house.
I had a lined jacket where the sleeves needed to be shortened and 5 decorative buttons on each sleeve moved up accordingly. $15! That's all!
WOW.
I had a a lined crepe skirt taken in, $10. I've paid $50 for similar work elsewhere.
An unlined cotton dress taken in. $8.
A pair of slacks hemmed/ shortened. $5.
And all done within 1 week.
The swapmeet is only open Friday - Sunday. 10 to 6pm. So if there's a downside, this would be the only thing. I live cross town and am happy to recommend a drive to this little hole in the wall rather than the places around me!
