Connie's Tailoring Service

Description of Work: I just had a pair of uniform pants hemmed. They did a good job, but were more expensive than other tailors. I was already there at the shop so I used them.

Description of Work: I inherited a leather jacket and vest when my grandfather died, and both items are very important to me. Unfortunately, my grandfather weighted about 120 pounds more than me, and both items were way too big! I really wanted to use both on the bike that I also inherited from him, and I took both items to Connie. | |Her shop is in the back of her house, but it is as good a space as I've ever seen. There is room to try on outfits, a waiting area with a TV and comfortable seats, and she has all of the equipment that is needed to alter anything. | |I admit that I was a little leery when I realized the shop was at someone's house, but once I saw the inside, I wasn't worried. Plus, Connie is great! She's personable, listens, and truly wants to make sure she gets your clothes the way you want them. | |I was just hoping that she could figure out a way to alter the huge leather biker jacket and vest with patches. Much to my surprise, she said she could. She quoted me about $150 to $200, depending on the amount of work involved, and asked about my timeline. I wasn't in a hurry, and told her to take as much time as she needed to get it right. | |She periodically called me to keep me updated on her progress and to ensure that I didn't need the items sooner. I came back once to try on the items, and for her to go over the alternations she had to do. Before she made any significant alternations, she got my approval first, which I definitely appreciated. | |Now that the work is done, my jacket and vest look amazing! Both look like they were made for me, and you can't tell that ANY alterations have been done. I could not be happier, and I will be taking all of my items to Connie in the future.
