Doe’s Alterations and Tuxedo Rentals

I came here to bring in a bodice and skirts a few inches, raise the sleeves, and have it hemmed. The experience has been a nightmare. I had to come in several times. One time, she forgot to work on it and didn’t offer an apology, explanation, etc. One time, the hem was incredibly uneven. She told me she would add a seam in the side. The seam she added was at an angle that changed the silhouette and bubbled oddly. She insisted it was the bra I was wearing and the silhouette I originally had was wrong. I asked her to take out the seam and discovered that, without discussing this with me, she had cut into the dress to add the seam and thus there would be a big line in the dress. I asked her to take in a skirt in the back. She just moved over a clasp.

I cannot give enough praise to this shop. I needed alterations done on a bridesmaid dress from my best friends wedding today. I came to the shop yesterday desperate and paniced the dress wasn’t going to fit and I would have to tell this to my best friend. Not only did they get the alterations done in less than 24 hours. They came out PERFECT. The dress has a unique back piece and you cannot even tell it was taken out.
I wish this shop was in Boston so I could visit them more often.
Basically, if you need anything they will get it done and get it done right.
Thank you again

This shop is over an hour late opening making me late for a wedding I am traveling 3 hours to. I have seen 4 other customers waiting also. I will not use or recommend this shop.

Fantastic I’m particular about my clothes I’ve taken suits and costs that come back right every time. She is a wizard with the sewing.

I have been going to Doe for years! Every time I have gone, it has been for a deadline, and she is truly amazing with deadlines. I came to her several years ago with a pageant dress that I needed done by the next day. She completed the dress without flaw, and was ready to go before the pageant. I’ve taken almost everything to her, including jeans, blouses, and other formal dresses. She’s great!

She is a very nice lady. I had a wedding to go to on Saturday and did not receive my suit until Thursday. Unfortuntely it did not fit, so I went to Unilocal to find an alteration place. I contacted Doe’s and she said she could turn it around in less than a day, so I went up there and dropped it off. The next morning I was able to pick it up and it was fabulous! The suit had lining in it so it was a little more expensive, but she tailored the sleeves and the pants in time for the wedding.

Doe’s Alterations did a wonderful job with my wedding dress. She told me honestly what I needed and didn’t need to do to it and was very reasonably priced. Thank you!

I’ve taken jeans, skirts, and dresses to this place.
Doe’s does a pretty good job in a reasonable amount of time– I’ve never taken anything to her that I needed on a deadline, so I’m not sure how she does with that.
She seems knowledgeable about fabrics and cuts and how this effects «drape» on different body shapes. The end.

I was looking around to find a place to bustle my wedding dress. David’s bridal starts at $ 45, just to sew a button or two and some loops. My friend suggested Doe’s bc that is where she went for her wedding dress alterations. I believe she got a good deal on her dress alterations. I just can’t remember how much she charged my friend. I called and the lady said that bustles start at $ 15. I couldn’t believe it! I took my dress to her and the day she told me to pick it up, it wasn’t ready yet. She was out of town for a couple of days, so I thought maybe she forgot. She said that she was sorry and asked if I could wait for her to complete it. It took 15 – 20 minutes to do. I would of given her 5 stars, but took a star off bc it wasn’t ready on the day she promised and I had to wait on it. Regardless, she is really good! It is quite a drive from where I live, so I won’t be a regular, but it was worth going to her for my $ 15 bustle.

this lady may be really good at pants, I do not know. But she absolutely ruined my expensive bridesmaid dress. I could not have been more disappointed. She did a nice job on my White Coat. I brought my dress in, it was way to large, she snipped at me for ordering a dress so large (it wasn’t my fault, i lost weight!!), she then told me to come back in a week and that she would have it finished, and she told me to bring my shoes so she could hem it, i went back in a week with my shoes, she said it would be totally finished in 1 more day. i went back the next day, and she said to come back in 30 minutes. i went back in 1 hour and the hem was horrible. she had rushed the hem and it was all over the place the most uneven hem you can imagine. If this dress was too difficult for her she should have told me from the get go. She said she would fix the hem, I told her I had to have it in 2 more days, I went back in 2 days and the bust was loose, there were snags, and there was fabric poofing out around my breast. I had to leave in 1 hour for the wedding. she said to come back in 30 minutes, i went back in 1 hour, and she couldnt zip the dress up. (mind you i hadn’t eaten or anything after i tried it on earlier that same day) she blamed me for it not zipping and then told me that i wasn’;t holding the dress correctly. she made me feel horrible, got her assistant to hold the dress closed and still couldn’t zip it. after being so rude to me she says «OH YA I SEWED IT TO THE WRONG SEAM» she yanked and ripped two strings, and the dress zipped, she goes «my fault». I had to pay 100 dollars for the dress and my white coat, I will never return, and I will never let any of my friends go there. All of my friends think it is ridiculous that I paid her at all. obviously she is good with pants, but she ruined my dress absolutely.

I absolutely love this woman.
I have taken countless pairs of jeans and dress pants to be hemmed, and she has never, ever altered them in a way that I didn’t want them to be.
For jeans (w/​o orginal trim at the bottom), it’s $ 8. To have the original trim at the bottom of the legs is $ 15.
I’ve also taken in a bridesmaid’s dress to have the seams let out. And the dress fit perfectly for the wedding. She charged me $ 75, whereas the other bridesmaids were charged about $ 110.
If requested, she will have your garments ready as soon as possible. She’ll usually have them done within the week if you go on a Monday, but she can work on your garments much faster if you request her to.
