In the past I had used my dry cleaners for alterations. It was awkward whenever I needed pants hemmed - they had this corner curtained off for a changing area. But it always seemed like people could possibly see me on the sides of the curtain that never closed all the way. Plus, there was no place to sit and take off my shoes and I had to try and take one off while balancing on the other foot. No prob when it was flats, but with boots, it's not so fun.
Anyhow, I found Just Alterations in the Marketplace and all that has changed. They have a number of real dressing rooms with doors that shut all the way and chairs where you can sit while you change. The people who work the front desk are friendly and knowledgeable. I was amazed that they remembered my name after like the second time I went there - they just go in back and grab my stuff when they see me coming! Made me feel very special!
Their work on my clothes has been really good. However, I have to caveat this by saying that my alterations are pretty normal things, such as shortening pants. But, I have seen many women in there getting bridal gowns & formal dresses altered. So, I would guess that they are capable of doing a great job on the complex stuff too.
The one thing I have found is that their prices seem a bit on the high end. But, otherwise, I would highly recommend them.
