Dora is an expert, she is so knowledgeable and thoughtful! I brought in my bridesmaid dress to be altered and didn’t notice that the back of the dress was cut lower than where my my undergarment sat on my back so she was able to put cups in the dress and it still fit so nicely afterwards. She had me come in a few times to make sure the dress fit properly after she made the adjustments too. She is the best at what she does! I would highly recommend Dora for any of your alteration needs.

Dora is outstanding. This business is highly recommended by me. It is so refreshing to find someone who is an expert in their trade, and who is so very nice at the same time. The price for the service is outstanding as well. I will use this business for any alterations that I need in the future, and I will recommend it to anyone I know that is looking for a place.
I had several items altered… One formal dress and a couple other pieces and everything was done perfectly. Very responsive and very professional as well. If I could give Dora 10 stars I would.

Magic Alterations was amazing to work with. I had a very tight timeline and she was so understanding and happy to help with my wedding dress. She knew exactly how to alter it to fit beautifully! I recommended her to my other local bridesmaids as well. Such a great experience!

Dora worked miracles on my wedding dress. She took off the sleeves, added straps, altered it and added a beautiful belt. It was stunning. She is awesome, quick, and great prices. She also altered my husband's suit and groomsmaens suits.

Dora did a great job altering my wedding dress. She was able to alter the bust to make t less revealing, added a panel in the back so I can still wear a strapless bra, and added the rhinestone belt. It was perfect for my beach wedding. Prices were very reasonable. It was a pleasure working with her.

Of all the decisions that go into planning a wedding, Magic Alterations was easily one of the BEST choices I made! My wedding dress alterations were done very timely, at a fair price, and with extremely high quality and precision. I couldn't have felt more beautiful on my wedding day, wearing a dress that fit me perfectly, had the unique personal touches I asked for, and that was altered with immense care. By the time I wore it, it was a brand new, one-of-a-kind vintage dream dress. Dora did my alterations and did an INCREDIBLE job and was so personable. Words won't do it justice so I

Dora altered my wedding dress for me and did an amazing job. We met serendipitously before I was even engaged, I saved her card and looked her up. She had told me "if you find a dress that isn't perfect, I can make it what you want!" and sure enough, the dress my Mom and I liked best wasn't perfect, and she made it so beautiful and flattering.
I purchased a now discontinued style from BHLDN, the straps were too tank-top-y and I wanted them thinner and more at the edge of my shoulders, and this wasn't as easy as it sounded! The dress was two layers and had intricate flower applique she had to carefully

Have a dress or suit that needs tailoring? Take it to Dora! She did an amazing job with very reasonable prices! She was able to take a lace dress in a size and a half with perfect results! She also was super nice, very easy to work with! Making an appointment was simple, just a phone call and a chat! I would recommend to anyone that needs tailoring!

I've been taking my alterations to Dora for awhile now and have brought many things for her to work on. Dora is very good with alterations and she's very fair in her pricing and service. I'm changing jobs to be closer to home in the city and will continue to take my alterations to Dora. Its just very difficult to find a good seamstress/tailor and I'm found that with Dora. She's just that good. :0)

When I first showed up at Dora's door with this wedding dress that need so much work I thought I had a vision of this dress in my head on how I need it to took. The dress was way to poofy and probably like 4x to small but I loved this dress. Dora took this dress and blew it way past my vision she turn my dress into something I loved. When I first put it on I was so sad it was such a pretty dress that didn't fit. But when I put the dress on at my last fitting I felt like Cinderella. I've never felt more beautiful. I was never looking more forward to wearing a dress in my life. Now

I requested alterations (taking out the chest, removing pads and adding material to cover the low bust) less than 24 hours for a dress that I was wearing or a wedding. Multiple tailors told me hey couldn't do it but Dora said yes. She took the dress made the changes and texted me when it was ready. It fit perfectly! I will definitely use her for other alterations in the future.

Dora was very nice and very helpful. I had a bridesmaid dress that was too big in the top. She did all I asked and sewed in cups to help it fit better. She was quick and efficient. First pinned to make sure I liked how everything would fit, and then sewed. She Steamed my dress and since the wedding I was in was not for another month told me that I could go back and she could steam it for me again if I needed. Not sure what a good price is but it seemed reasonable to me. I will be going back next time I need something else altered!

A little pricier than the corner dry clean and alterations places, but absolutely the best work I've seen.
I just brought a few shirts here to get tailored, expecting decent but not fantastic work and was pleasantly surprised when they turned out really fantastic.
I normally spend more to go to higher end tailors for bigger jobs like suits, but I will definitely be bringing all of my tailoring jobs here from now on.
Their work was timely, clean, and accurate. There were no loose threads or crooked stitches, and everything came out flawless.

I chose this place because I saw all the great reviews and figured since the experience was as good as everyone said I should really give her the praise she deserves. I brought 2 suits 1 for myself and my 15 year old son. Mine were small tweaks but his suit needdd a little more work. Knowing that he is a growing teenager she hid the extra fabric from his pants in case he needs more length down the road and the work was incredible. Had a chance to chat with her and she mentioned that she was a JOS A. Bank seamstress for like 7 years. You can definitely tell. Great work! I'm glad I drove out

Magic Alterations has been such a find for our home decor projects! It's like having a custom etsy shop right at your doorstep. Dora has turned store-bought grommet curtains into beautiful custom pleated drapery and created faux Roman shades and gorgeous banquette cushions for us. Her upholstery partner also reupholstered our barstools with new high-density foam and fabric; they look and feel better than when they were new! Magic Alterations' craftsmanship is as impeccable as its customer service. Dora is fast, conscientious, and a joy to work with. I will be working with her to decorate

If you're looking for an alteration place, look no further! She's so nice and caring and extremely FAST! She worked wonders on a dress for my sister in laws wedding and I'll be taking my jeans and other things there in the near future! She really cares about her customers and obviously loves what she does!
