Sissy is amazing! She hemmed and bustled my lace wedding dress, and she did such a professional job for a great price. She handstitched the lace, and its impossible to even tell that it was cut shorter. And the bustle looks wonderful! At the store I bought my dress from or elsewhere, I would likely have paid a few hundred dollars more for the job she did. She also worked around my schedule to get everything done - I was only in San Antonio for a few months before moving back out-of-state, and I work full-time. And since I came in by myself on the way home from work, she posed me and took some cute pictures to send to my mom and sister πŸ₯². Shes so kind and sweet and genuinely cares about her customers! She reminds me of my own family. Plus, she has great recommendations for Korean food in San Antonio!! 100% would recommend coming to Sissy to get any alterations done.Update (9/7): added photos in my dress that Sissy took for me at her shop!

Sissy did my alterations with less than a month notice before my wedding. She takes her time and pays attention to detail. She goes the extra step to make sure her clients are satisfied. I love my dress alterations and will use her if I ever need alterations again. She is awesome at what she does!

I was referred to Sissy by a family member and they were not lying when they mentioned her excellent customer service and skills! She has a passion to make you feel very special in whatever it is you bring to her, and will not send you on your way unsatisfied. Her prices are lower than any big store bridal shop hands down! She altered my wedding dress by fixing my droopy sleeves, adding pleate’s to the front and back of it (gave it more of an elegant look) and also sewed buttons and button loops underneath the dress so that I could move around comfortably and not drag or snag the material. My pot belly showed through the dress, so she made a smooth transition in the stomach area by lifting my petticoat above the belly line and I immediately saw the difference! Sissy thank you so much for all of your expert advice and your excellent alterations! I would highly suggest you to anyone who is needing any type of alterations done!

After I bought my wedding dress, I researched several places throughout SA and found Sissy. And let me tell you... Sissy is AMAZING!!! During the first visit, she made excellent recommendations on what needed to be done. Prices are very reasonable and all alterations were done pretty fast in comparison to other places. Sissy is very flexible with scheduling appointments which was great since my work schedule is far from consistent. She is also very knowledgeable and explains everything which definitely shows you her the amount of experience on her belt. She also makes sure you are satisfied with every modification done before charging. I have never had anything clothing altered before so I was quite nervous at first. But, Im glad that I found Sissy when I did because shes very sweet and has done an awesome job on my dress. I cant wait for the wedding in a couple of weeks (Ill update my review with pictures after wedding). I recommend Excellent Alterations by Sissy 100%. You will not be disappointed!

I ordered some jeans for vacation and they were way too long so I called Excellent Alterations and even though they are closed on Mondays Sissy was so sweet and told me to bring them to her. Not only did she fix my jeans withing 5 min she was giving me good tips to care for them at home. Im very pleased and will definitely be returning!

Amazing service! 10/10 recommend. I brought some coveralls that I need for school that were way too big. She had it altered in less than 24 hours. They are perfect now!The best party about coming here is her customer service. She is incredibly kind, helpful, professional, and reasonably priced!

Review β„–9

I originally decided to check out Excellent Alterations by sissy because I was in the area and I wanted to see if she was able to alter my OCP tops. Im particular when it comes to my uniform but I wanted to support a local business rather than the BX on base. I dropped off my items late afternoon on a Sunday and received them the following Thursday. Im so happy with the finished product! I wore my uniform to church while on leave and I received so many compliments. I had my badges and name tapes sewn on at the BX. I wish wouldve had them done at Sissys instead because she wouldve taken her time unlike the ladies at the BX who dont!!!Main Takeaway:- GREAT customer service!- Quality work in a short amount of time- I highly recommend military members take their uniform here.

She is the best! And the sweetest lady! I had her work on my bridesmaids dress and my daughters flower girl dress, both came out absolutely perfectly! I wish I would have found her earlier to work on my wedding dress and other past bridesmaid dresses that I got done at other shops in SA that all were a disappointment! I tried a bunch of other shops before finding her and she is the absolute best at her craft! She also made my toddler daughter feel so special and gave her princess treatment! She went above and beyond!!! Out of the kindness of her heart, she so generously gifted her with a necklace and bracelet to wear at the wedding! No need to look elsewhere, she can do it all! Her work is top notch!

Sissy did an amazing job on my dream dress. I brought in my lace cold shoulder wedding dress to get the sleeves lifted up to cover my arms more. She was very sweet and suggested a hidden elastic on my sleeves especially if I was dancing and moving my arms around I thought that’s an absolute great idea! Picked up dress today early and tried on and ABSOLUTELY loved how my dress turned out! Sissy did an amazing job! The sleeves are off the shoulder lace and do not move when I move my arms around. And lay on my arms perfectly. Also if I wanted to I could adjust the sleeves however I like. She is my go to alterations place from now on! Thank you❀️

Sissy is a consummate professional when it comes to wedding dresses. She is helpful, super friendly, and professional! She listens to what we like, studies our styles, and offers her recommendations. So many of my friends, at least 10 of them, received alterations from Sissy and they were absolutely stunning & beautiful!!! I knew just where to go when it was my time. My daughter is a satisfied client and I absolutely recommend Sissy to everyone!

Sissy is indeed excellent. I was nervous about bridal alterations, but sissy had excellent reviews and she did not disappoint. It is clear that she has been doing this for many years. She doesn’t charge you until you are happy with her work and her prices are very reasonable. My dress turned out beautifully. I would definitely return for any other alteration needs. Thanks sissy!

Sissy is the sweetest lady. She welcomed me into her store and made me feel very comfortable while taking my measurements. When I picked up the dress she took extra time to show me different ways it could be worn. I highly recommend having alterations done at her place of business. You wont be disappointed. Thanks Sissy.

Review β„–19

So my sister had mentioned to me to try an alteration shop before I went and bought a new bag/purse. (I didnt have it long,I think I overstuffed a few times) I called around and one place said they dont fix bags, another had an attitude, some didnt answer. I tried Sissy she said come on in when you have time and omg Im so glad I found her. I got there a lil before closing but she still took me in and fixed both zippers on my bag very quickly. She was very sweet and kind☺️ Thank you sissy !!

Had to do a last-minute dress change the week of my wedding and was in a desperate search to find someone who could accommodate me in the very short allotment of time. Found Sissy, and couldn’t have been happier with her service! Not only did she do an amazing job, but she had it ready a day earlier than expected, made me a free custom mask to pair with my wedding dress, and all while being super sweet! I will be going back to her for everything now! Highly, highly recommend, thank you Sissy!!

Needed a lot of work done for my daughters prom dress. I was turned away from most due to the level of alternations and short time frame. I came here and was seen right away. The dress was finished in two days and it fit my daughter perfectly. Very professional and responsive business. I will be back!

Sissy is amazing! I happened to be visiting a friend and needed alterations for my uniform. All the places I went to had atleast a 3-4 day turnaround. Sissy told me she could have my cap and top done the next day! She specializes in wedding dresses but did spend some of her career with AAFES alterations. She did a great job and is so pleasant to speak with. I recommend her for any of your alteration needs plus shes just an awesome lady!

Absolutely amazing!! Sissy, the owner is so personable, professional, and accommodating! We had an emergency and she worked a miracle in less than 24 hours! She basically had to redesign a bridesmaids dress and it came out flawless!! Then as a bonus, she made 2 custom masks out of the dress material and surprised us! I highly recommend Excellent Alterations and Sissy! I won’t go anywhere else for my alterations!

Review β„–36

Sissy was wonderful! I’ve never had alterations before and my bridesmaid dress needed a lot of work in less than a month. Sissy took in my dress, hemmed it, added a latch (the one it came with was broken) AND made me a mask out of the dress fabric. All the other bridesmaids were jealous! And Sissy was so sweet and kind, she made a very nervous me feel very comfortable. Plus, she gave me a discount and gave me a lint roller as a Christmas gift. Support her business if you can! You won’t regret is.

Sissy is a wonderful women who is equally passionate about sewing as she is making sure your every need is met. She is a phenomenal seamstress and is very helpful. She made sure my wedding dress was altered exactly the way I wanted it and did not complain a single time. If you are needing any kind of alterations done you should give Sissy a call and book an appointment.

We have used Excellent Alterations to alter several of my daughter’s cheer uniforms and also homecoming and prom dresses. Sissy has done an outstanding job every time.

We love Sissy and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else!

Sissy is absolutely amazing and I LOVED my experience. Her customer service and expertise is incredible . I brought in a bridesmaids dress a week before a wedding and had to do major alterations to it. My bridesmaids dress was too tight in the beginning when I brought it in and I needed the dress back ASAP. Sissy worked with my schedule, made the dress fit without messing up the detailing, and the end result was absolutely beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend using her for all alteration needs and will definitely be back in the future. Thank you so much Sissy!
