Mom’s Alterations

Old school, and still excellent service and repairs. Sometimes it’s so packed and you have to wait but you wouldn’t rush your grandmother would you!
The prices are still more than fair, but their quality is no better anywhere else!

Be careful the delivered date, and don’t trust their promise! The price is low, and you need make sure they measure u the right size when dress up!

Mom’s Alterations is the cutest little alteration place. The man that always helps me is so kind and caters pick up according to your schedule. I’ve dropped off shirts that needed button replacement to pants that needed to be hemmed and have never left disappointed. Also, prices are reasonable as heck.

My family has been going to Mom’s for years. They have ALWAYS been courteous, professional and provided high quality alterations. We’ve tried other places, but they simply do not offer the same quality and timely delivery. We highly recommend them to all our friends.

I was a bit iffy about trying out Mom’s Alterations since the reviews were mixed (like hit or miss). I had some pants that needed hemming and Mom’s quoted me $ 7.00/pair, which is one of the better prices in the area. Despite the words on the door and the business card saying «pants hemmed while you wait,» I was told that they would be ready in 5 days, after 4 PM. Tried them on after I got home and they appeared hemmed to the right length. For the price, I’d return to get additional pants hemmed if needed.

I’ve been going to «Mom’s» for ages now and she’s never let me down. Mom’s ROCKS. While you’re there you’ve got to check out the «wall of fame» of all the celebrities and beauty pagent contestants that use Mom’s. They’re a testament as to the quality of her staff’s work.

Great for having your pants hemmed. Nice people and good price.

So this place is legendary. Or, at least that’s what I was told. After purchasing a suit for my wedding at a higher end retailer, I wasn’t happy with the customer service I received when I picked the suit up… so I decided to go elsewhere. I was put on the Mom’s Alterations tip shortly thereafter. The place has been around the block, and is an awkward, mostly desolate, strip mall on Cooper. I was nervous. I walked in and was immediately greeted and asked to try my suit on. In my head I had all these things I wanted to point out and as soon I as I stepped out of the dressing room, there was no need for me to say a word. Mom’s and them went right to it and could see I was A) uncomfortable and B) in a suit a size too big. Pins went flying, and measurements taken. The suit that was too big all of a sudden started to fit in all the right places. They basically had to rebuild the suit y’all. And they did… for $ 50 and a 4 day turn around. That’s pretty dang good. If you need alterations, or someone screwed something up at another place… go to Mom’s.

The best place for alterations and cheap too! I altered my wedding gown and she only charged me $ 95! I would definitely go to this place for any of my alterations if I was in the area! A definite MUST ;)

Fast, efficient, helpful. They offer good service at a good price. I’ve never had a bad experience here.

Great service and low prices. Very friendly staff. I searched for good reviews and got what i expected. Will continue to bring my clothes to mama!

My family has been going to Mom for the past 29 years for all of our alterations. This family owned place has provided us with the best tailoring anyone could possibly offer. The staff is friendly and Mom is very helpful and professional. I’ve never had a problem or issue. And they have been able to tailor every type of clothing we’ve brought in and have picked them up finished and on time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

My pants are too big now. Just like in the first review, it’s not a quick process, but I have three pairs of pants that fit better now than they did new for less money than the other alteration people wanted.
Each pair got waist, legs, and hemmed. All have held up through several weeks work and some dry cleaning.
The patch from my original review is still strong. Must’ve been done pretty well, right?

I took a jacket there to get tailored Wednesday morning. The jacket itself fits well but the sleeves were too big. Mom pinned the excess fabric and said that it would be best to get the sleeves tapered. The pick up date was to be next week (next Wednesday). Next week rolls around, and I drop by Mom’s around 5pm. The gentlemen working the counter could not find my jacket (I had the claim stub). After a few minutes, they found it but it was still in its original form. Mom comes up to me and says «Do you need it done by today?». I told her «Yes». It’s been a week! She then tells me that she will work on it. I sit there for 45 minutes while they worked on my jacket. Sigh. Man.
Total cost: $ 14 for sleeves

Mom and her team are very nice and friendly. However, patience is a MUST. Come in on a Saturday and you’re definitely in for a wait. The waiting area is small and there’s only four chairs, but she’s the best so it’s worth it. I live in DeSoto now and I still make the trips over here because I know she knows what she’s doing and I’ve had enough experiences going to other places only to have my pants too short and the bill too high!
I started coming here about 5 – 6 years ago. My sister is a professional bridesmaid and only brings her dresses here. Now I only bring my clothes here. Usually just jeans that need hemming or some shirts that need taking in. Their prices are so reasonable that if I find clothes at the mall that are not in stock in my size, I’ll buy the next size up and bring it to Mom’s to take in! I made it a point to have my bridemaids’ dresses altered here, and as soon as my gown comes in I am definitely bringing it to Mom’s!
They can usually work with your schedule and have it done in a reasonable time, but around prom season the dates stretch a little further apart, so if I need something done by a certain day I tell them I need it a few days before that.

They hemmed my pants too short!!! I told them I like it long cause I have heels that are different heights. Now some of my pants look like floods.
Now…the ones that were prefect length, the thread fell of within half a day of wearing it. Erg!!!

I had three suits that I needed altered and they did a quick, great job. I only needed the pants fixed up and it was $ 6 per pair of pants — mind you they only messed with the cuff.

I had 4 designer jeans that I needed to get tailored, and I took them to a couple of other places around Arlington but none of them fixed them the way I asked them to!
I ordered a bulk of jeans online a size too big and I thought it’d be simple to just get them fixed (it was WAY too loose around the butt area no matter how tight I wore a belt). I knew I wouldn’t be able to get them PERFECTLY done but I was getting so frustrated paying so much at all these other places to have these jeans fixed so I finally went on Unilocal to read some reviews and I’m soo glad I took them to Mom’s!
Took a star off because I had to wait over an hour for Mom to finally get around to me and there was somewhat of a communication barrier, but the jeans were pretty close to perfect.

Went there after seeing this review and my friend also telling they finished her dress and 4 others in a week. I just needed like 4 inches off my dress and some hooks sewen back on and just a few little things. I turned it in on a friday i think and got it on the next wednesday! the only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the hooks they sewed on didnt hold very well and my train was barely held on! But would go back for furture alterations

I went here based on a recommendation from one of my friends and boy is this the place to be! Everyone and their mom was here a few Monday’s ago and it looks like this is the hot spot for beauty queen alterations. You’ll find a wall plastered with beauty queens and wannabe’s complete with autographs and big goofy grins.
Be prepared to wait as they are very busy and nearby UTA campus. Mom had me try on my suit pants and went away pinning the hem. 2 days later, I come back for my pants at the time promised and $ 5.50 poorer, I am one excited girl! You always get a little nervous with people touching your expensive clothes and I am so glad I gave this place a shot. No frills here, but definitely know their business and quality alterations for a good price.
