Janine's Alterations
Janine Kesselman

Tailor

I accidentally became a seamstress! In high school Home Ec, I hated sewing. I put zippers in upside down and just didn’t grasp sewing. The next year I wanted to change a class and went to my counselor. She had student assisting with a different Home Ec teacher. I said, “Nope!” She said, “That’s your only choice.” I took it, and it changed my life!

I love what I do, and set the bar high for performance and professionalism. My employees must attain the same level, or they don’t work with me. I never want my customers to be able to tell the difference between my work and my assistant's work. We have a fun atmosphere and my daughters work with me. My 2 small dogs come to work with me and one greets you upon your arrival. She even has her own following of people that ask for her! Read more

    I dropped a skirt off that I accidentally washed and the hem came loose. Janine was super friendly and she reinforced the hem so that it won't come out no matter how I wash it. So glad her shop is up the street from me - I will be taking all of my clothing to Janine's Alterations and would recommend you do the same!

    Janine did a fantastic job with alterations to my wedding dress. She took it from being a potato sack that was four sizes too big and turned it into the most flattering piece of clothing I've ever worn.

    ... Everyone at the shop is knowledgable and beyond kind. My items were completed on-deadline with no surprises. Prices are super reasonable. I truly wish I could give them more stars.

    THANK YOU JANINE!!!

    We absolutely love Janine and her beautiful family! We started by bringing slacks for altering and have since been back for everything from button repairs to having our wedding gown and suit altered for our big day. I trust Janine to provide suggestions, reasonable costs, and do beautiful work. Her work is flawless and she has made me a customer for life. Thank you Janine!

    The best in town! I am an attorney and have had multiple experiences with tailors in town for my courtroom attire. Janine is the best hands down. Family run business with her and her daughter, they are super attentive, prompt, affordable, and excellent at their craft.

    Highly recommend!

    After being told by several other tailors that it was going to be well over $200 to alter my dress, I hopefully proceeded to enter their store. Not only were they the nicest that I came into contact with, but they gave me an incredibly low price, for incredible work! They even gave me an option for how I wanted them to hem it. My prom dress is heavily beaded, yet they altered it perfectly. It fits beautifully and exactly how it needs too. Sweetest family and sweetest hearts. I recommend this to everyone!
