I have given Apparel Design a few more tries and have been really happy with the service there. Awhile ago I took in some curtains, and they took the time to call me to discuss the length I had asked them hemmed to — they had noticed that my chosen length would have chopped up the embroidered designs, and we were able to figure out a better solution over the phone. The workmanship is top-notch. I’m not sure how they compare price-wise to other places, but hemming a pair of jeans was $ 14, and a pair of nice pants was $ 12. They only accept cash or check, and turnaround time is 1 – 2 weeks unless you ask for a rush order.

Wanted me to wait 3 weeks to get 2 pairs of jeans patched. Also wanted me to pay $ 21 per patch. Ridiculous! I went to Cardinale’s, paid $ 12 total, and was able to pick up the next day.

Left Cardinale’s to have Apparel Design — an alterations and dress making shop run by two very bubbly S.E. Asian ladies — handle all of Rocky’s and my tailoring. They are much friendlier, more talented and(for the most part) inexpensive. They are also very accommodating. It’s never been an issue for me to get something rushed for same day.
