Just like a good man, a good tailor is hard to find. But, I've heard such good things about Anna's Alterations that I just had to bring in a need-to-be-altered item and see what they were all about.
Right off of Park Rd, Anna's is a spacious, airy shop with sky blue walls and tons of dressing & alterations areas. When I walked in with my way too long dress in hand, they promptly greeted me and asked me if I needed to try the dress on. Indeed I did and I hopped into a dressing room. 15 minutes later after expert pinning and a bit of friendly discussion regarding the length I was looking for, I was out the door with a claim ticket in hand. The dress I brought in needed to be taken up about 6 inches and the bottom band needed to be shortened and reattached. It would be ready in 5 days and when I asked the cost, they checked in the back (with the tailors, I assume) and replied it would be around $16.
Fast forward 5 days and the dress fits perfectly. Elation aside, $16 for that perfectly done alteration is a great deal. And since Anna's is so conveniently located next to J Major's Bridal and some great consignment stores (Monarch, JT Posh) it's the perfect stop to get all of your clothes fitting just right.
