Lee's Tailors

Two of the bridesmaids dresses needed to be taken in at the top, and my dress also needed to be taken in. We went to Lee's Tailor, which is where my sister usually goes when she needs to have something altered or hemmed. The price was perfect, I think it's about average for what one would expect for an expert tailoring. We were measured and the dresses all fit perfectly afterwards. I can't remember how long it took, I think it took about two weeks, but we were not in any sort of hurry and we waited until all the dresses were done before we picked them up. I hear that some bridal shops alterations can cost almost as much as the dress, so I was happy that everything turned out well and that we all looked great!

I used the Lee's Tailor at Southpoint Mall in Durham since they were close to where I work and I could run out during lunch for a fitting, if need be. The lady working there during the week is obviously very experienced with all kinds of dresses and alterations. She had me in and out for my fitting in less than fifteen minutes and was extremely careful not to let my gown get any kind of dirt on it. My local bridesmaids took their dresses there as well. The alterations turned out perfectly and the shop even kept the gown for me until closer to my date (so I would not get it all wrinkled and my husband could not sneak a peek). Very helpful and client focused.

Lee's Tailor is always wonderful. They are moderately priced and the people at all of the locations always do a wonderful job. They hemmed my wedding dress and they altered a few of the bridesmaids dresses also. I know that the bridesmaids were also pleased with how their dresses turned out and also with the prices and customer service. They also very timely in getting things back to you and don't charge much more to do it faster. I would recommend Lee's Tailor's to any bride or bridesmaid. The only complaint I would have is that the hem came out a little on the day of the wedding which was actually quite annoying. So if you do get it hemmed there make sure to stress that you want it to be very secure for dancing and what not. Other than that they are highly recommended.

I can only give them a four star rating because we only had simple alterations done. I had new straps put in my wedding dress, and they they also did a great job of shortening the dress so that I wouldn't trip. I liked the way that they shortened the dress, because I didn't lose much of the beading work. They also took in one of the bridesmaids dress. It didn't really need to be done, but they offered a great price and the dress looked much better once it fit better.
