Kim's Tailor - Valley West Mall

Has anyone used Kim's Tailor in Valley West Mall for wedding dress alterations? 

I've seen some good online reviews for them but wanted to know if anyone has any personal experience.

Thanks!!!

    I haven't had any experience with wedding dresses...only work clothes and suits.  They did a great job with those....but I think a wedding dress is an entirely different thing.  

    You probably want to consider a few things...

    Are you alterations going to be simple or complex? Does your dress have a lot of intricate beadwork or is a simpler gown?  

    If you have a simple dress & the alterations are simple....you'd probably be fine using them.  But if you have some complex alterations and your dress has a lot of beadwork, etc....you might want to consider going to a bridal shop/alteration specialist.  

    But...maybe there is some way to get in touch with the people who left reviews?  Or perhaps you could go to Kim's and see if they have a book showing their work on wedding dress alterations?

    Ditto to above.

    I've had dress pants & a bridesmaid dress done there, and they were fabulous & very friendly.

    My friend had her wedding dress done there and...WOW. She actually bought her dress off the rack and it was 2 sizes too big. He was able to make it fit like a glove. I highly recommend him!
