If you've never had an item of clothing tailored before, you might be curious about why it's an option worth considering. A garment that has been tailored can help make it look like it was made just for you, and may even allow you to continue wearing an item of clothing that you thought was destined for the donation pile.
If you're thinking about clothing alterations in Jacksonville, FL, you might be wondering what types of tasks a clothing alteration specialist can perform. Simple alterations: Zipper and button replacement are among the easier, less complex alterations to perform.

With summer coming to an end, and winter months just around the corner, it's time to start putting away your summer clothes and start getting your winter wardrobe ready to wear, especially your winter coat. Quality winter coats are expensive, but they usually wear well, so if you have a winter coat you love, you may want to think about having it altered instead of buying a brand new one this winter.

Was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding which required 2 dresses, a traditional dress and an Indian dress (Anarkalis). The traditional dress only needed to be hemmed, however, the Anarkalis' sleeves were so tight in both the dress and overcoat. With only 2 1/2 weeks to the wedding I was stressed about being able to get the necessary adjustments made and if was possible to alter the Anarkalis accordingly!
I called ahead to inquire about the adjustments and timeline I needed it in and the lady who answered the phone was very informative and assured me they would be able to make the adjustments in

I bought a pair of bell-bottoms pants from a store on line, they sent me the pants in youth instead of women, this place was the only place that would get them right size, and did a wonderful job, I took another pair there already, they look for what you want

Mr Lee and his team are helpful, professional and did an excellent job on tailoring clothing and repairing a Barbour Jacket that needed a new zipper.
They are now my go to spot for all tailoring needs.

The people at Lee's do phenemnal work! My mom has been going to them for years, and now my wife and I take our clothing. They've brought life back to many of my favorite items. From new zippers, loose hems, to holes in garments. Lee's is the best!!

Always an excellent job! This time they tailored an Italian suit for my husband. It looked beautiful, was done early and a fair price

I have been using them for all of my alterations for as long as I can remember. They did my sweet 16 dress and every formal dress since. Beautiful work and the nicest people ever.

Very kind staff and quick turn around. Unfortunately the work looks rushed. I brought in a very simple 1 layer dress and hem is uneven and shaggy, the button they added to the bust is visible from the front of the dress, crooked, and does not stay clasped. VERY expensive especially considering the poor quality. Lee’s Alterations was very disappointing and I would not recommend.

I had a few really terrible experiences when trying to alter my wedding dress. I decided to leave the place I had been going my whole life and try out Lee's based on some referrals from a few friends. They were so kind and helpful. They came up with ways to alter that no one else had, and then pinned and re-pinned until I was completely satisfied. I will never go anywhere else. They work fast, they work hard and they do an amazing job!

I have gone to Lee's many years for my alteration needs. The work is always professionally done. My clothing looks beautifully tailored. The prices are expensive and there is never a price list anywhere which makes me wonder if they just make the prices up sometimes. I have stopped taking everyday clothing and only take clothing that is required for a special occasion due to their expensive rates. For instance I bought a summer dress for $20.00, that needed to be let out 2 inches. I was charged $50.00. I really love the dress😊. So, I stopped taking things like that. To be a customer for over

GO ELSEWHERE!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! Prior to Mr Lee's wife running this alterations shop it was a great place. Since she has 'taken over' a couple of months ago, this alterations shop has taken a turn for the WORST! The work has been absolutely terrible and the timeline is substantially slower. I won't even get pants hemmed here anymore. The service has gotten worse AND it takes 3x longer! I own a clothing line and spent over $3000 last year alone in alterations and sent MULTIPLE clients to this place. I am DISGUSTED at the way she runs this shop, speaks to customers

I had a zipper replaced for a jacket. She said it would take a week. It took a month, but I didn't need it right away. Would I go back.....sure.

In one week they altered a full-sequined two piece dress for me. It looks like it was hand made for me. A bit pricey, but for the amount of work (hem, taking in skirt, shortening drapes on top) on a full sequin dress, I can't complain. When items cost a lot to begin with, I'm happy to pay to make sure they fit properly.

We walked in with my daughters prom dress without an appt. They pinned it and had it ready in 5 days. Prices are extremely reasonable AND they give you a printed receipt before you leave so you know exactly what the cost is BEFORE They do the work. Very friendly and conveniently located on San Jose Blvd (across from the old Kmart at Kori Rd). Definitely my go to place for all alterations and recommended to everyone I know.

Called the owner and told him that I really need my suit pants altered during the weekend. He told me to go in and he'll get it fixed for me. I went in there and out in less than 30 minutes. Very professional and friendly service! I'll bring all my stuff here to get altered from now on! Thank you guys so much !

Lee is fantastic! Everyone in the shop has years of experience and they truly love their craft. He has made a couple of suits fit perfectly for me. He has great style and is very thorough when doing fittings. Also, they make sure that you get exactly what you wanted, and won't charge you more if you tell them that their work isn't perfect.
Overall great local, family business that deserves yours! Don't go anywhere else, even if another place is a little bit cheaper.

I got multiple things altered here when I was younger and lived in the area, so when I needed a dress for a wedding I was attending altered I knew just where to go. They are always friendly and very fast. Most importantly they are reasonably priced! I had a dress taken in (including adjusting the elastic) for less than $35. Thank you Lees Alterations!!

This is the second prom dress that needed alterations (last year we went to another tailor/seamstress) but we decided to go to Lee's because it was very close to home and had a few good reviews that recommended their work AND their prices. Well we will DEFINITELY recommend Lee's to others and use them in the future. We arrived without an appointment and had a "fitting" on the spot. The man (owner/worker? not really sure) pinned the dress and made sure he was clear on the length and where it was to "sit" compared to the floor. My daughter's dress needed to be

The person who wrote the review below mine, MUST be talking about a different alteration place because Lee and his wife do the BEST job with alterating literally everything and anything you need! I have been coming to this place since I was about 6 years old... I am now 22 and still refuse to go anywhere else. They have altered every school uniform since kindergarten, as well as countless casual dresses and skirts, and formal dresses too! Plus, I've had several pieces of clothing that I needed altered by the next day and they are always willing to go out of their way to make sure they have

This is the WORST place to get alterations done. They rushed my fitting and didn't even help me zip up my dress properly, they safety pinned it shut so no surprise they took the dress in way too much. I asked the lady to take the bust about half an inch and she obviously wasn't listening and took the entire bodice-waist and bust in almost three inches! It's a nightmare, especially because my dress is for my daughter's wedding on Sunday and they gave me my ruined dress on Wednesday. Needless to say my daughter and I are in panic mode due to this whole ordeal. This is a HUGE disappointment
