"I reached out to Sally to alter my wedding dress. The expertise she brought to the table is unmatched. My dress had lots of details and intricate lace that had to be removed to alter the dress. I could not even tell the lace had been removed and put back into place. I had reached out to her in the middle of the alterations process about the fit of my dress around my hips. She listened to my concerns and did not hesitate to book another appointment to help ease my concerns. I was so pleased with my dress, and I cannot thank Sally enough. Photos taken by thomas + co"

"Terrible experience. When I first showed up to get a pair of pants altered, I waited patiently for someone to show up at the door. After 15 minutes of waiting, I found her sleeping in the back on a couch. She asked when I would like them done by and I said by the end of next week if possible and she said “no problem”. I called two days before they were supposed to be done to see if my pants were still on track to be picked up in 2 days. She said she’d look and get back to me….I heard nothing. So I showed up the day they were supposed to be ready. The door was locked and due to my first experience with her, I sat outside for 10 minutes knocking to try and wake her up. After finally coming to the door, she mentioned my pants weren’t ready yet and to come back tomorrow so I did. I showed up the next day and same process of knocking outside for 10 minutes before she finally came to the door for her to tell me she still hasn’t done them. At this point I asked for my pants back and she was reluctant to give them back until I mentioned getting the police involved."

"Sally has been my "go-to" for alterations since moving to Iowa City over 20 years ago. Her craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing. I've trusted her with favorite jeans all the way to my wedding dress. Her costs have always stayed affordable. Thank you, Sally!"

"If you only read one review for Sally at Clothworks, I hope it's this one. I can't tell you the first dress Sally ever altered for me, but I can tell you it was more than a decade ago. Every year, for every bridesmaids dress, every special occasion dress, and every No Foot Too Small Gala gown, Sally answered my call, perfected my dress, treated me professionally, and charged me reasonably. In all these years, there was no one I trusted more. And so today, as I prepare for our largest, most important NFTS Gala yet, I visited Sally once again to pick up my gown. By no surprise to me...she nailed it. (And my daughter's too, for that matter.) Sally is incredibly talented, kind and patient. And I feel so fortunate to have her expertise in our community. Sally, thank you! I will always be back."

"Sally was absolutely wonderful. She is so kind and efficient with what you’re needing done. You can tell she loves her work and takes pride in it. I’m so glad I had my wedding dress altered here and will definitely use her for any future needs!"
