HEATHER'S PLACE

I highly recommend Heather. I was very pleased with Heather’s alteration work and the bustle she put in place on my wedding dress. She is very attentive to detail and knows what she is doing. I had a very form-fitting wedding gown with a deep back and after all of her alteration work was done, the dress fit perfectly.

With less than 1 week away to my destination wedding, my original seamstress came down with a COVID infection prior to making final revisions on my reception dress and was not going to be able to complete it. Scrambling, I called over 20 seamstresses in the hopes that I would find someone who could help me. Unfortunately, I had no luck, everyone was swamped as we were nearing the height of wedding season. But I was persistent and eventually was able to reach Heather at Heather’s Place in Ann Arbor. I explained my situation to her and initially she said that she would not likely be able to help me, but feeling sorry for me, she said, “Can you come over now and let me take a look”? Feeling hopeful, I dropped everything and immediately rushed to Ann Arbor with my dress in tow. She quickly pinned me and evaluated the dress. I knew it was a long shot, but not making any promises, she said she’d see what she could do. My reception dress was a feathered Jovani dress with lots of beading and detail and unfortunately it was a nearly 2 sizes too big, so it was going to be a challenge. But Heather was absolutely amazing and was so compassionate, she worked so hard and really went out of her way to make sure I would get the dress in time. In fact, she wasn’t even going to be able to get it done prior to my flight departure, so I had to have a friend, who was traveling the following day, pick it up for me. But it was PERFECT! Heather, words cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. I know that this was not an easy thing for you to do and I am overwhelmed by your generosity and compassion. Thank you so much! You are amazing!

Heather was kind and meticulous. Price was fair.

Heather is amazing. She did an extraordinary job on the alterations to my wedding gown that really added to the gown's beauty. She listened very well to the areas where I felt the gown could fit me better, added her own expert opinion, and then took it from there. She created a bustle for the dress that was a completely elegant all on its own and smartly added an interior belt to the strapless bodice that kept the dress in place all day long without the constant need to tug it up. She came highly recommended, and I would recommend her again and again to anyone looking for alterations. She is a true pro.

Heather was great. She was able to squeeze me in to look at the previous alterations done at a Bridal shop that were done incorrectly and very poorly on my wedding dress. She told me exactly how she was going to fix everything along with a quote for the work. I came back a couple weeks later, tried the dress on again before paying and everything was perfect. Heather saved my dress and my day!

Did an excellent job.

The work was excellently done and at a very fair price. You would not know the coat had been altered. The full racks of alterations was a sign that lots of people know how good a job is done. I will definitely use Heather's Place again, and am sorry I did not know about it earlier.

Extremely knowledgeable, made good suggestions/options,very personable, very busy with diverse projects.

Heather's is good, with a reasonable price and very responsive. I go to her regularly and even donated a sewing machine to her.

The whole process was very pleasant. Heather was very nice, easy to work with, and very professional.

First, I called Heather and spoke to her on the phone and discussed what I needed to have done, and we set an appointment. Second, I went to her place of business and tried on the clothes so she could see what needed to be done, take measurements, etc. And, third we set another appointment for about two weeks later in order for me to pick up the clothes. Before I paid her, she had me try on the skirt again to make sure I was happy with the alterations, which I was!

Overall, it was a very good experience. Heather did an exellent job and I am very pleased with her work. I am sure I will call her again if I am in need of further alterations. Heather and I even discussed her making a custom dress for me sometime in the future, and she was nice enough to suggest an excellent fabric store at which I could shop and choose a fabric! I have no doubt that if I hire her to make the dress, she will do an excellent job.

Absolutely wonderful experience . . . Heather was awesome.

I scheduled a fitting with Heather. Both garments needed nipped in, but the dress was challenging due to th side zip. The skirt had side pleats which was just too much fabric for me. Heather was able to baste down pleats so the skirt was a little more straight. Both garments were beautifully altered and fit me perfectly. I got LOADS of compliments on how well the dress fit. The dress has a side zip, which made the alteration quite challenging.

I felt the price was reasonable and totally in line with Heather's estimate at the fitting. Also, both garments were ready on the day she said it would be . . . She said 1 week and in one week both garments were ready.

When I need a garment altered, I'll be going back to Heather.

FYI . . . Fittings are by appointment. Call for an appt. first.

I contacted Heather's Place one afternoon when I needed a pair of suit pants hemmed. After providing her address, Heather was able to squeeze me in immediately before a previously scheduled appointment. After arriving at her nicely appointed shop, Heather got me in and out in a matter of minutes complete with an appointment scheduled to pick up the pants the following week. Heather was friendly, professional, prompt, and the quality of her work was wonderful. I will definitely call her in the future for any additional alteration needs.

wonderful, she fit me in on short notice and did an excellent job with all the alterations, I am short and round and the dress is made for tall and thin, she made it look great on me!!

Heather hemmed the sleeves of two blazers. It took two weeks, but the work seems to be professionally done.

Heather has done an exceptional job with everything. I've been very impressed with the quality of her work. Also, I would like to commend Heather on the pleasant environment. It is exceptionally clean and well-lit. If you are particular about how your clothes fit, I highly recommend Heather's Place.

I thought Heather was very professional and thorough from the initial telephone call, to the fitting, to the pick-up. She listened to my concerns and offered her opinions when needed. The overall experience was quick and painless and my garments were altered nicely. I intend to utilize her services again in the future.

From my first phone call setting up the appointment to the final fitting, Heather was extremely professional and fun to work with. Her shop is cozy and she clearly knows her trade. While she was helping me put on the dress in her shop, she decided the back clasp at the top of the zipper was damaged, so she decided to replace that for free. The quote she provided me listed the services individually, and the quote was listed at a max of $100, which is what she charged me in the end. I put a B for the price, simply because I was satisfied with the price, but I don't know if that was an "excellent" price for the services rendered, as I don't go in for alterations much. Overall, I recommend Heather's Place and will go there again.

Very punctual and easy to work with. Also enjoyed the time spent for fittings. Heather wanted me to try on the altered clothes before taking them, to ensure everything fit perfectly. A button fell off while trying them on, so Heather promptly took the repair in hand, no charge, while I changed back to street clothes. Excellent work and excellent fit. Have already given Heather another pair of slacks and jacket to alter. Would highly recommend her for women's alterations. Worth the drive.

Great

From the fist phone call to the pick up and inspection, Heather's place was very kind and professional. I found myself in need of quick alterations on a bridesmaid's dress, Heather offered suggestions and even demonstrated what the changes would look like. I am very happy with the incredibly fast service and reasonable price.

Everything was great ! I spoke with Heather over the phone and she was very professional and friendly. Brought in my pants and picked them up about a week later. The first time I wore one of the pairs, one of my friends said " I never noticed how cute your b*** looked in those pants!" I think I'll be tailoring all my pants in the future and I"ll have Heather do the job !
