I was in a rush and needed alterations for a wedding in a week with a dress that was way too big for me!

I highly recommend Ms. Lynn of Mt. Airy Alterations. She has completed four alterations for me, and her work has consistently been polished, professional, and impeccable. My first alteration was a formal gown. Ms. Lynn carefully examined the fabric, lining, and seams, then had me try on the dress so she could pin and mark the exact adjustments directly on my body. She made sure the fit was both flattering and comfortable. When I returned to pick it up, she offered me the opportunity to try it on and confirm the fit. A dart in the bust area had been overlooked, but she immediately corrected it while I waited. Since then, she has replaced a zipper and hemmed two pairs of pants—one pair of jeans and one pair of joggers—with equally excellent results. Her prices are higher than what I was accustomed to paying for alterations on a military base, but that is understandable, and the quality of her work is worth it. Her turnaround time is generally about one week, and she has always been accurate and dependable regarding both the quoted cost and completion date. Ms. Lynn provides careful, skilled, and trustworthy service. I will definitely continue bringing my garments to Mt. Airy Alterations.
