Hi! I am a local seamstress and I can do anything from hemming pants to custom designing a wedding gown. The best mode of contact for me is email, erin@rcbfashion.com, you can see my work at www.rcbfashion.com. Narcisse Andromeda Greenway I do wedding dress alterations as well.
Can someone recommend me a good men's tailor here in Charlotte? Been getting back in shape and need to get some old suits tailored to fit me better.

I've asked the same question of several friends in the area and Walid of Myers Park Tailors on S Kings keeps coming up. I haven't made it over there yet; but for what it's worth...

Honestly, if you've lost through your waist and chest you should be fine, but if you've done any changing through the shoulders, unless they were wildly expensive suits, you're better off replacing them. You can have the jackets re-cut to fit your shoulders, but even the best tailor is going to have a hard time getting them to fit like the original. It's expensive, labor intensive, and still won't be perfect. Really depends on how picky you are, but I've never seen a re-cut jacket that I couldn't tell.

Also going to go with Walid at Myers Park Tailors. My husband has a very very thin frame and is shorter than average. It was impossible trying to find a suit for him. We found one that went an inch over the shoulder on each side and took it to Walid to see if he could do anything with it. I looked Walid up before hand and many people said that he saved him money by saying things didn't need altered and that he was amazing, etc etc. When we went in, Walid pinned it up and showed us what he COULD do. He also showed us a suit that he had made and told my husband he could try it on. It fit him SO much better. The suit was of serious quality and cost less than the crappy ill fitted suits we had found elsewhere AND he altered to fit him perfectly. The backing it made of canvas, which is much easier to take care of. You don't have to iron it or take it to the dry cleaner unless it's actually dirty. It was a wonderful experience and he altered the suit in less than two days time. He's awesome.
Tailor/seamstress in South Charlotte or Steele Creek areas? I've recently gotten a promotion and need to have my professional clothes (mostly pants) altered--can anyone...

My fiance swears by [Lisa's Alterations](http://www.yelp.com/biz/lisas-alterations-charlotte) on S. Tryon (right behind the Starbucks at Whitehall). He gets all of his alterations done there. I've had one paid of jeans hemmed there myself and they kept the original hem and they look AMAZING. It was like a 3-5 day wait for me, but I'm sure could do it faster if needed.
I was wondering if you guys could help me. I am looking for someone in the Charlotte area to do minor alterations. (Like hem pants or jeans). I would appreciate any...
