Reviews of Alterations by Erika (Tailor)

Kathy Tran

I came into Erika's business hoping she'd be able to help me alter my dress to fit my body comfortably. She did just that and exceeded my expectations. Staff was friendly and everything was well done. Don't forget to support your local businesses!

Professional and quality!

Tracy Vander Beek

My daughter had her grad dress alterations done by Erika. Almost every part of the dress needed altering. The skirt had a lot of lace appliqué, and I had no idea how it was even going to be possible to alter the hem because of this. The dress turned out amazing! It fit my daughter perfectly! The new location is clean and bright, and Erika herself is friendly and professional. The price is very reasonable too. I would highly recommend her services.

Jake Kostelyk

I brought my favourite sweater in, with a seam that had pulled apart. The staff there happened to have the same colour thread in their machines, so they immediately took it, repaired it up, and I was out of there with a fixed sweater in 5 minutes! The work was done well, and I was shocked with how good the service was. Highly recommend!

Juergen Woodruff

I needed an emergency sewing repair and found Alterations by Erika online. I was invited in immediately and they repaired my jeans in record time. Very professional and accurate work done. They will definitely be getting all my sewing repairs and alteration work in the future. Very friendly and welcoming. I hope others that read this will give them an opportunity. :)

I had to get a dress altered in less than 2 days and they were able to fit me in and get it done perfectly! Super professional and sweet! Will definitely be coming back!

Diana Hamilton

They did a great job altering my bridesmaid dress! Very friendly and it fit beautifully.

Monique Van Halteren

Absolutely thrilled with Erika and her assistant. They helped me on a super short timeline and got it done and done right. I didn't even have to ask her what I wanted she already knew. She was flexible and available and so helpful and reassuring. When my dress didn't arrive on time and I kept having to delay the appointment because we had no dress to work on she made time so we'd get it done it in time so I could fly out with the dress in a few days. They offered to help pack the dress as well. Would highly recommend, and very reasonable for price. Everyone should go to her for their alterations, especially if you're local. You're better off going to Erika than even the tailor from the store you bought your dress at. Can't sing her praises enough.

Moneka Huizenga

Extremely knowledgeable, professional and super friendly. I had a winter down filled coat that I was no able to use the zipper properly and I tried everything also had others try to fix it with no success. Once I took it to Erika, I was so grateful and happy that she had it fixed in minutes. She also fixed two zippers on my pants that were also done within minutes. I will be taking all my alterations here, forever. Thank you so much for all you do. Highly recommended!!!!!!

Samantha Todd

First off Erikas little place is beautiful and intimate. Erika was INCREDIBLE. I ad 3 appointments for alterations and Erika made sure the dress was perfect each time before I left. My last appointment before my wedding I left smiling and so happy. Blown away really, at her talent. I would and WILL recommend everyone to go see Erika. Thank you and your team so much!

R Salari

Erika was super friendly and was more than willing to squeeze my dress in rather last minute. She did an excellent job bringing in the sides and adding a bustle. Her store is adorable and easy to find. I would highly recommend her to friends and family in the future. Thank you Erika!

I bought a bridesmaid dress online that was supposed to be “custom made to my measurements”. She did an amazing job fixing the dress so it fit beautifully! I’ve recommended Alterations by Erika to several of my friends now !

If I could give a million stars I would. Erika’s shop is so cute, warm and welcoming it’s straight out of a hallmark movie. I recently had my wedding dress altered and I was beyond pleased with it. Amazing work. Erika made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. I had such an amazing experience and the work was done to perfection! If your looking to get anything altered this is definitely the place to go.

Natalie Mydske

After delaying our wedding for 1 1/2 years and putting on a few extra pounds during the pandemic, I was nervous my dress wouldn't fit as well as it did way back in 2019. Erika went above and beyond to ensure a perfect fit and never left me feeling bad about myself or my body. I would recommend her to all of my family and friends. Nothing but great things to say about this place!

Varlene MacLeod

Alterations By Erika is one of the small business gems of Abbotsford! If you are inspired by gracious service, attention to detail and consumate professionalism you need to pay a visit to this establishment. My need for an unusual service was met with ‘can do’ attitude, a speedy resolution and an amazing outcome. An 11 out of 10! Varlene

Emily Hilton

A little bit pricey for the small amount of alterations I needed done, BUT they were very pleasant and had my dress done in the short timeframe I needed it

Erika is by far the best tailor I've been to! She's very courteous and professional. She tailored every bit of my clothing to perfection. Highly recommend her ????????

Jessica Nybo

I cannot say enough positive things about Alterations by Erika. She is absolutely fantastic; she is skilled, listens to your wants, is flexible and really goes above and beyond to make sure you love your finished product. The amount of work and detail that she put in to altering my wedding gown is amazing. Her front of house staff is also so lovely. I had such a warm experience and would highly recommend Erika to anyone especially the brides!!

Eunice Warren

What a beautiful little alteration shop located in the heart of downtown Abbotsford. Beautifully lit dressing rooms, with natural lighting close by to get both lighting visuals for your perfect day. Erika listens to your vision, and then craft fully makes your vision come to reality. Whatever your event, this is the place to trust with your one of a kind alteration. Plenty of parking right in front. #alterationsbyerika is the perfect choice.

Made my dress fit perfectly!

Danielle Giesbrecht

I have now had my wedding dress and a bridesmaid dress done by Erika and both time she has done an absolutely amazing job! Her and her staff are so friendly and make it a fun experience! Would highly recommend seeing her for any alterations you may need.

Kylah Slane

She fit me in even during a busy week, and I love the way my dress fits!

Jay Steve

Amazing experience! Erika did a phenomenal job with my wedding dress & the dresses of my bridesmaids! I only had a few months to plan my wedding, and she was able to get all 6 dresses done in time. I couldn't be happier with the quality she produced & I loved the space she created for trying on the dresses. To top it off, my bridesmaids and I were able to practice our surprise dance for the reception with our dresses on right there in front of her- don't think we could've done that anywhere else! I 100% recommend her for all your alteration needs!

Josephine Wold

Erika did a wonderful job as always. I highly recommend her to all my friends & family for any of their altering needs! 5 star quality with every experience.

Chelsea

Erika recently completed alterations to my wedding dress and she did a fantastic job!! She is very knowledgeable and I couldn't be happier with how my dress turned out. Thank you!

brittany beesley

Two very kind seamstresses that do an amazing job! I was very impressed with how my dress turned out. I will be going there again for future alterations!

Stephanie Hansen

Absolutely fantastic doesn't even begin to describe how amazing this woman is. After a series of unfortunate events, I received my dress with little to no time to alter it. I came into Erika's shop with very little hope that I was going to be able to get the dress fixed. Not only did she do a beautiful job, she was kind and helpful and completed the work in 2 days! I am beyond thankful to her for being so accommodating and pleasant. The workmanship is amazing, you can't even tell the dress went from a zip in back to a lace up! Erika has now done 3 dresses for me and I will never go anywhere else! Highly Recommend!

Ted De Jager

What great service!! Had some repairs done on my favourite pants and they are good as new. Erika redid the collar on my now favourite shirt in no time. Such a great friendly atmosphere! If you need alterations done, regardless of the size of the job, this is the place to go.

Keiraaa

Erika brought my dream dress to life! I always wanted a vintage style, long sleeve dress. She was patient, kind and realistic about my vision and she told me she would do her best to bring it to life. She did the most beautiful job and I could not have been happier with my dress. Reasonable prices and so efficient! I gave her 5 weeks notice before my special day and she made it happen with plenty of time to spare! Thank you Erika!

Antonia Buono

Erika is lovely and very professional. Her studio is beautiful with lots of natural light to see all angles of your dress. She is well versed working with different types of sewing machines and various fabrics. My wedding dress is perfect! Trusting someone with your dress on your big day is hard, However, she made it easy! !0000% recommend.

lindsey solmes

I had such an amazing experience with Erika. She was thoughtful and meticulous! Our first appointment, she was eager to listen as to what I felt needed altered for my wedding dress and then gave her professional input. She did a wonderful job on everything I needed! The results were perfect and the pricing was reasonable!

Emma Van Hoepen

Erika did an amazing job, and fit me in so quickly. Easy to work with and made the whole alteration process such a breeze!

A pair of my boyfriends pants pocket was coming apart. We contacted a few places near us and no one was able to help us... until we came across alterations by Erika! He called and she said she could fix them right away. The store front is beautiful. Then you go inside and it's just clean, fresh even more beautiful. I wanna get a wedding dress just so I can come here to get it altered by Erika... Thank you ladies.
