They did a great job at altering my jeans -- they fit like a glove now & look so much more flattering. Well worth it!

I just picked up my wedding dress today! OMG it came out perfectly. I was so nervous to get my dress altered because of all the lace, beading and the fact that there are 7 layers! My dress fits perfectly and you can’t even tell where they made the alterations. This will be my go to place and I will be recommending them to everyone.
I had such a wonderful experience at A Blue Seam in Houston! From the moment we walked in, the service was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. They took their time with the fitting, carefully measured everything, and really paid attention to all the little details to make sure the final fit would be just right. I especially appreciated how thorough and patient they were throughout the entire process. You can tell they truly care about the quality of their work and about making their customers feel comfortable and confident. Nothing felt rushed, and they were happy to explain everything along the way. If you’re looking for alterations, tailoring, or someone you can trust with an important outfit, I highly recommend A Blue Seam. Excellent customer service, great attention to detail, and a very welcoming experience. We will definitely be coming back!
I asked them to them to shorten the hem of a simple dress we brought from Ross. They wanted to charge $30. Too rich for my blood.
We discuss and confirm pricing with customers before accepting any item for alterations. The cost of alterations is based on the labor, time, materials and level of work required. Regardless of the brand of the garment. It is still the same amount of work and skill to complete an alteration properly.
Hard to say how great this place is: was purchased from Veronique the original owner / designer who moved back to Europe and they do fantastic work and get it done as promised.
Absolutely would recommend for alterations. My wedding dress came in about a week before I was flying overseas for my wedding and was ill fitting. I brought to a tailor recommended by Anthropologie who wanted more to alter the dress then the dress was worth itself. After some research I decided to give A Blue Seam a try and I am so glad I did. Friendly staff, very fast service, and extremely reasonable prices. He had my dress ready a few days before I left and everything fit perfectly. Also can’t beat the pricing.
Do yourself a favor…find a LEGIT place. This is NOT it. I took a bunch of garments for alterations, almost $300. I had a brand NEW Marc Jacobs coat…they left the lining completely open. Then wanted to charge me $200 to replace the lining. The guy told me it was faulty…WHAT? Brand new coat…never worn…my jaw is tight just thinking about it.
I always have issues finding a pair of jeans to fit me properly due to my proportions. The tailors at A Blue Seam did a beautiful job at taking in the waist of my jeans without compromising the size around the backside area. Not to mention the pricing was very reasonable. I’ll be back and would recommend them to anyone!
They’ve been absolutely life savers who can make anything happen with any time frame. Everyone that works here is so kind and friendly and the tailoring is high quality. My go-to tailor in Houston!
I accidentally shrunk a wool cardigan and A Blue Seam was the only place that was able to help me stretch it back for it to be wearable again. Very happy to have found a go to place!
