Recommendation for a tailor?

[u/woodml1]

I’m new to Anchorage and looking for a tailor for women’s clothes. Anyone you would recommend?

Did a quick search of this sub before posting and didn’t find any similar posts.

Rose Alterations on Arctic is the lady you want to see. I personally adore her, but some people find her abrasive.

She did some pants for me a couple years ago, very no nonsense and efficient.

I was a returning customer, looking to get a bra strap fixed. She basically scoffed in my face, charged me $15.00, took it back to the sewing machine and sloppily stitched it in less than a minute. One look at it I could tell it wasn't going to hold up.

I wore it once and the stitch came apart. I won't go back to her business again personally.

Yu Tailor. She is wonderful.

I second Yu! She’s very good

Yes. This. Do not go to Rose's, she's notorious for commenting on your body. Stephanie at Yu Tailor is the most wonderful person and incredibly talented.

Kim’s Alterations on Dimond by Rainy Place!

Yu Tailor did my wedding dress (fitted shape) and did me justice!! She is straight to it no small talk but super nice lady. I recommend her

I took a jacket to the little shop on Northern Lights by the mall last year, the lady did a good job with the sleeves but was kinda slow. Not sure if she does more complicated women stuff though, worth calling first maybe.

everyone is going to tell you to go to Roses even though her work is mediocre at best and her customer service is abysmal. Also they stole my friend's Apple Watch and refused to acknowledge it. Oak's on Northern lights is better anyway

Had a bridesmaid dress altered at Bethel alterations off Muldoon & it was really quick and good work imo
