Cam's Alterations is a well-established tailoring shop in Charlotte since 1998. We provide expert alterations on your clothing. Unlike a convenient dry-cleaner store, our seamstresses know how to change the structure of clothing and are skilled in designing garments. There is no need for you to be confined to off-the-rack clothing. Let our seamstresses bring you the beauty and joy of wearing garments that actually fit. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Cam has been a seamstress since she was 18 years old. In her home country, Vietnam, she owned a tailoring shop that was ranked one of the best in town. In Vietnam, people usually have their clothes custom made, and rarely bought pre-sized clothing like in the US. Therefore, Cam has been able to make almost anything from scratch, without any patterns as they are not sold in Vietnam, even now.
If you have an item that needs to be hemmed, we recommend you to bring the shoes with which you will be wearing when coming to our shop. We want the length to look perfect on you after the alteration. We do have some shoes at our shop, but they may not be the height you want. If the item is brand new and hasn't been washed, please wash it (if it is machine washable) before having it hemmed.

Best place ever for alterations - the lead lady converts slacks and shorts for me to petites and always suggests the least expensive way which is good because you don't have to sacrifice pocket space - have seen men in there having suits altered, brides and bridesmaids and prom goers - male and female - more than one dressing room and the employees have on masks and hand sanitizer - great parking because it's in the Food Lion parking lot - very $$ reasonable

Had a horrible experience with Cam’s Alterations. Walked in with my wedding dress in hand and said “Hi I’d like to get an estimate for my wedding dress alterations.” The lady looks at me and says “I’m looking.” I said “okay” and opened the dress. I told her a few things I thought needed to be done and she said “Too much money. Go buy new dress.” I put the dress on anyways for her to look at. She put 4 pins in it, which didn’t address all of the issues and then told me she couldn’t do bustles because my dress is tulle. Do not recommend for wedding gown alterations.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. I took two lace dresses to Cam's to just have a ribbon put on under the bust. I even provided the ribbon. She charged me $40 for this, which I already thought was pricey, but I was under a time crunch. It took her 5 days to do this, and one of the dresses was for my sister's wedding on Friday. When I picked up, the ribbon didn't seem attached very well. I asked to try on the dress, which before fit perfectly. When I tried it on it was very tight, and was difficult to zip up. I asked the employee's to help me zip it up, she then proceeded

Fantastic job on 48 year old, real leather, real fur, coat! I mean the lining was shot to hell the collar, couple of buttons missing, etc. but they nailed it!!!! My mom repaired it for me for my birthday as it was originally hers, but i fell in love with it and took it from her years ago. It took her 2 years to even find someone willing to do it, and at a reasonable cost.. GREAT JOB!!!

I have been using Cam for about 16 years for anything and everything! I started with her when she was with another alteration business and stayed with her when she went out on her own!
She has done everything for me from hem a pair of pants, to make costume dresses for me for dance when I was younger, to alter a bridesmaid dress from a size 22 to a size 2 to fit like perfection!
She is fast, inexpensive, and one of the sweetest women you will ever meet!
