I cant thank Anna and Sew Passion enough for the amazing job they did on my wedding dress. Anna was recommended by a friend and delivered above and beyond on my alterations in an extremely short timeline! With only 10 days before the big day, she took an off the rack dress and made it my dream dress by bringing it in, shortening the length, adding additional lace and a customized belt.
Annas ability to know just where to pin and tuck the right spots to accent your body type and make sure the dress lays perfectly is extraordinary, would highly recommend her for any of your alteration needs

She did a decent job of altering my dress and pants, but the clothes were not finished on time. I came back on the date they told me it would be ready by - it wasn't done. I said no problem and they told me to come back three days later. I came back three days later - still not done. They ultimately gave me a ten dollar discount but I wish they'd just called me instead, before I wasted money and time travelling there on two separate occasions. Next time, please just call me if it's not going to be ready on the pick up date...

I got my bridesmaid dress and a pair of thrifted pants hemmed here and they turned out perfect. They were also super fast and had both items done in a week! Thank you :)

Anna's service is 10 out of 10. Every time I have visited her shop she's been helpful, friendly and has the tool for every sewing job, no matter how obscure. Anna is an excellent seamstress who knows her craft. She is also a very smart business woman. Thank you Anna. We are lucky to have you in our community.

Incredible attention to detail, excellent customer service. They take style, body type, footwear, fabric, EVERYTHING into detail when performing adjustments. Seriously go see them, you wont be disappointed, everyone man (and woman) needs a reliable tailor they can depend on- this is the one.

5 star! Excellent service, Excellent experience. Both my wife and I have altered several pieces at Sew Passion. Anna is a wonderful lady who not only does an amazing job at altering our clothing, shes a great lady to sit down and have a conversation with as well. I work downtown so the location is convenient when I have a little extra time. I will continue to take all my alterations to this shop. Thanks for making the clothes fit perfectly! See you soon!
