Westside Cleaners & Alteration

I had a wedding slip altered here after getting it dyed nude at PNB. It was a fraction of the cost that I had been quoted elsewhere and turned out perfectly. I was nervous because it was the slip for under my lace wedding gown and I only got one shot at it. $ 143 total for side, zipper and hem. I would have them alter anything in my closet and the ladies are so nice :)

Owner is lovely, very friendly and professional. Quick fitting with suggestions. Nice neighborhood location and hours are convenient for those who work until 5 or so. Will be a repeat customer!

The owner of this space is so friendly and adorable! Their pricing is great and our dry cleaning always comes back so crisp and clean. Cash only so be prepared. Parking is almost always available along the front streets. Great location near the Alaska junction

I brought in a knit skirt and asked the owner if she could sew in pockets. I knew it was tricky, but she was game. It turned out GREAT. Absolutely perfect. She was so sweet, she gave me a little holiday gift (a lint roller), too. I’d absolutely use her again.

They do great alteration work quickly. Hours can accommodate work schedules. Seems like most times I drop items off there, the job gets completed in about one week. Maybe wedding dresses and more complicated work takes longer — I don’t know.

I waited until I had a couple of experiences here before I wrote my review. The first visit I brought in a pair of biking knickers that need to be… ahem…let out a smidge. The second visit I brought in a pair of pants to be turned into knickers and a button refastened, while my wife dropped off two pair of dress pants to be hemmed. Our pants were returned to us exactly as we requested.
Need something altered or hemmed? Take it to this woman — seriously, she doesn’t mess around. She will give you a fair price, do a good job, and get your clothes back to you on the agreed upon time. She is sweet, honest, and reliable.
She is cash only and she will remind you of it when you drop off.

The lady that owns and runs this place is a hard worker. She can do some pretty good alterations, like replicating the fancy bottoms of designer jeans as she alters them to your correct length.
The service is pretty good, but I’m not too demanding, I give her as long as she needs to complete my work. The work that she does is great.
When I am buying clothes that I’m required to pay for alterations, I am now trying to take them to this place in West Seattle out of convenience. It’s nice to have a good tailor in the neighborhood.

I have a plastic silver top and bottom I found at a Walgreens for $ 3.99. It was created to help people sweat more while working out. I found it to be the perfect piece for my burlesque ensemble. Problem was it was separate and I was on the search for a jumpsuit. What does a girl that doesn’t sew do? Pay someone else to do it.
I went to another alteration shop and she dismissed me claiming her sewing machine needle wouldn’t be able to get through the material. Granted this is plastic but its not incredibly thick. I left the shop wondering what other alteration places were in the vicinity. I remember this shop because I got a zipper replaced there years ago.
I went to Westside and the cute little lady greeted me. I showed her the suit and asked if it would be possible for her to work on it. Initially I wanted the top and bottom attached, a zipper put on, and the sleeves and pants hemmed. She told me that would be a lot. Yikes. It would be $ 25 to put the zipper on. The extra cost was due because I needed a longer than normal zipper which she didn’t have. It would take $ 20 to attached the top and bottom and then she charges $ 12 to hem. Unfortunately funds are low as of late and creating a jumpsuit was essential.
Thankfully when she saw the material she didn’t brush me aside. She said it would probably work and she ended up going behind her work station and pulling out a plastic table cloth. She folded the table cloth to make it thicker and tested it on her machine. It worked just fine.
She asked me when I would need it done by and wrote me out a receipt. The total was $ 21.90. There was a sign posted boasted «Cash Only» and before our transaction was complete she reminded me of that. I said my good-​byes and thank yous and said I’d be back Tuesday.
Tuesday comes and I’m anxious to see my suit. It may turn out badly or she may have to break the news her sewing machine couldn’t take the material. Not so to either scenario. She brought the suit out and it was fantastic.
As I left she told me in a few weeks she would be moving a few blocks down. The number will remain unchanged.
If you need reasonably priced, speedy alterations done I highly suggest Westside Cleaners and Alterations.
