I can't be happier, Tracy's responsiveness and quality of service was excellent. My only wish is to have found her earlier.

This was a nightmare! Ms. Young lied to me about everything. I wrote he up to Consumer Affairs & she inverted the truth to them as well. She reimbursed me what she wished the first time. She is unprofessional & I have reported her to other agencies.

The outcome is horrible. My pants don't fit & Ms. Young refuses to answer any message I have sent her since 6/28/18. On 7/6/18, I left her a voice message on her phone telling her I would like to resolve this or I would write to the BBB, Consumer Affairs as well as a small claims action in District Count. No response! On 7/7/18, I wrote my last message asking her to reconsider as I would like to avoid all the paper work & I'm very ill. No response! Her credibility is also in question. When she was here on 5/3/18, she told me she burned a Bride's veil while pressing it. She knows how to make new veils as she worked in the bridal industry. The bride never was told. Now I know why my elastic waist bands weren't new & why the pants don't fit. She is not being a professional & I have doubts about the things she tells her clients. She doesn't care as anyone owning a business would have sent the money back as requested. In all cases, where work isn't done properly the customer is always right. She is being unprofessional. I will pursue all actions now despite my health as I won't let Ms. Young take advantage of a disabled & ill person

Ms. Young gave me a quote over the phone which is listed in messages. I needed 6 pairs of pants to be altered. When Ms. Young arrived, she put 2 pins in each side of the pants & took them home. The first time she brought them back they were too big. Then she pinned all the pants taking in the sides & waist. She brought them back & they were still too big. These were new pants that I'd hadn't worn. She charged me $18.00 per pair & a $36.00 travel fee. If she had told me when she arrived the second time that these pants were never going to fit properly, I wouldn't have had them done. She brought them back on her third visit & the pants were too big & the elastic waists weren't new. She brought her sewing machine & fitted them again. Pants weren't altered properly, therefore I want a full refund. Now I have 6 pairs of pants that I can't wear and no money as I paid her in full on 5/3/18.

Service Provider Response
Dear customers, Something is amiss here! This is Ms. [Member Name Removed]'s first Angie's List review, (which she has had removed and replaced with this negative review), " Mrs. Young is an exceptional woman professionally and personally. She understood my low income and health issues. She did outstanding work on 8 pairs of pants that needed taking in. When she brought them back they were still big so she altered all my pants in my apartment. I would recommend her highly to any one needing clothing alterations." She gave me an "A" rating. I am unable to explain her misconceptions of the events surrounding the work I performed for her. I am sending her a full refund and will never accept work from her again. Thank you. Most sincerely, Tracy Young09/08/2017

Tracy's work is most excellent. Although I've not been back to her for a while I do know that when I need alterations again she will be the first one I call.

I was really shocked. She showed me that the jacket that I thought needed some alterations didn't really need it. I had sort of thrown it on and said oh this is too big in the shoulders. She said button it up and let's see how it fits. She said she's not going to put a tuck here and there just to make some money. I felt very good about it and she's just a super nice person. The pricing was a little high to me but I thought with her personality and her skill level and things that are important to you I would use her again. I think she charges the same rate like by the hour. If it is something that is simple and doesn't take much time it doesn't cost as much. And if it is time consuming, it costs more. I really felt like she did a good job. She did make a rather radical repair on one of the blouses.
Description of Work
I took some things to her that I was asking for some very quick turnaround on. I took 2 blouses and a light weight jacket to her. She was able to turn around the 2 blouses in 2 days time.

Tracy did a fantastic job. Several people asked to take my picture during the convention, and I even won a small award from the Otakon staff for my costume!
Description of Work
Alterations for costumes for cosplaying at Otakon (an Anime convention). Everything was a little too small (except for my overcoat, which was way too long), and Tracy gave us room to breathe. She also reinforced the stitches to make sure they were sturdier than before. She shortened the overcoat to the perfect mid-calf length.

Tracy was great! Contacted her on a Monday and set up a time to meet on Thursday. I wanted 3 pillow covers made pretty quickly. I supplied the fabric and the pillow forms and she bought zippers. I asked if she could have them done in one week because i had guests coming and she was happy to oblige. Pillows were indeed done in one week and they looked fabulous! Very happy with the work and Tracy was lovely.

Tracy had the work done within a week and it was beautiful! She was flexible with timing for drop off and pick up. She works out of her home, but has a room with mirrors for trying on and changing. It was a comfortable environment and Tracy is friendly and professional. She is priced very fairly.

Tracy responded to my plea right away and did an amazing job of repairing the dress. What a professional! It was so worth the drive to Silver Spring and I would ask Tracy to do any further seamstress work I have, no question. Thank you Tracy, for your kindness, professionalism, and wonderful skill!!!

Tracy helped me with an emergency bridesmaid dress repair. The first person who worked on the dress really made a mess of it! Hem was lopsided, wrong color thread was used, one strap was cut and pieced back together very poorly. The dress looked horrible!

I stumbled upon Tracy on Angie's List, and I am so lucky I did. Tracy was so accommodating with my schedule, and her work is immaculate. I had four very different dresses that needed a range of adjustments, and she executed them beautifully (this woman has magic hands)! You can't even tell where the work was done on the dresses, and they all fit me absolutely perfectly. Tracy saved the day and I can't ever imagine going to anyone else! Her home is lovely, she makes you feel incredibly comfortable, is very professional, and pricing is very reasonable. You can truly see she loves her work. I can't rave about her or thank her enough! Tracy comes HIGHLY recommended!

Tracy has done a number of jobs for us and I have been pleased with all of her work. She tailored a prom gown my daughter bought on line, several suites for me and did expert alterations to a revolutionary war uniform that I wear as part of a color guard in re-enactments and ceremonies. Needles to say, the uniform has to be perfect and she did the job! I could not ask for better plus her prices are reasonable and turn around time fast.

Tracy did a lovely job. She picked out fabric to use as a binding based on a paint chip I sent, and the tablecloth is just beautiful. She was wonderful to work with - called me several times to clarify things and did the work in a timely way. I'm very pleased and will definitely use her again.

Tracy is great, and I was lucky to find her. I hesitated to call because from other reviews I could see that she was way overqualified for this task and thus likely too busy or just not interested. But she was not. I brought the article over, said I would like it back ASAP but a week would be fine. It was ready the next day.

I am extremely happy with the work Tracy did for me. She crafted a two-sided King duvet cover with my fabric(hidden zipper with ties inside to secure the comforter to the corners) so that I can use either side interchangeably. With beautiful piecing of material and pattern matching, this workmanship is truly exceptional. She also made 3 euro (2' X 2') pillow shams with hidden zippers and 3-inch flange. Then she made coordinating smaller throw pillows with decorative fringe. She completed the job faster than she promised, and spend a good amount of time finding some things I couldn't find--sham backing fabric, cording and fringe that she texted me photos of for my approval. Tracy is professional, artistic, organized, honest and just a really nice person. I came home with bedding that was more beautiful than I expected. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to make anything I needed, no matter how complicated.

Tracy was lovely and professional! Her work on my wedding dress made it look so much better on my body, and I felt a lot more confident and pretty in it. It was an aspect of the dress I didn't think even *could* be fixed and Tracy altered it in such a professional way that the dress looked perfect. Her rates are fair and she was able to fit us in at the last moment, and meet our tight-ish deadline, despite the fact she was about to go on vacation herself! I would definitely use her again.

Tracy was extremely accommodating. Because of a tight deadline on my part, she completed the job the same day, even though it was not required that quickly. Her work was done expertly and all items fit to a tee. The prices were very affordable; much lower than at other tailor shops I have used. I highly recommend her services.
