I brought my wedding dress to Heidi last year for a fitting and some alterations. When I was looking for my dress I kept envisioning a dress with buttons down the back. When I found THE dress I loved it but it didn’t have my dream buttons. I was new to the world of wedding dresses and didn’t realize that buttons could always be added by the right seamstress. My sister found The Button, the Needle and the Wardrobe for me and we brought my beautiful dress into Heidi. Right from the start she was the sweetest and was incredibly professional inside of crazy COVID times. After a quick turnaround (for a wedding dress) Heidi made all of my button dreams come true plus she made my dress fit like a glove and made me feel like a goddess. I’m so grateful that she was a part of my most special day because she made my dress so special. I will be back and will continue to tell all of my friends about TBTNTW. Thank you Heidi, you’re amazing.

This is my third attempt at doing this review. The last two disappeared before I could send them. So, let’s hope that the third time is a charm! I don’t know how many times I’ve had Steve embroider baby blankets for me in the last 2-3 years, but today I picked up 8. I sew the blankets, Steve embroiders the names on them for me. He’s gotten to know my style so well that I bring in the blankets, with a typed list of names and the age of the babies or young children. He knows what fonts I like, the color of thread that would go best with the blankets, and the prints on the blankets. We have a nice visit. He lets me know that he’ll text me when the blankets are ready, I go on my way to run some errands, he starts his magic, and we get back together again in another week or so.In the front of the shop his wife Heidi and her coworkers are busy doing alterations on wedding dresses, prom dresses, and every day clothes. This is a one-stop-shop for all your alteration and embroidery services. When you enter the shop, everyone is busy but yet very friendly. I’m glad I found this shop, and I will not look anywhere else for these needs. They are right off of Academy Blvd. and Flintridge, give them a call and they can always work you in.I’m attaching pictures of some blankets Steve has embroidered for me. He has never disappointed me with the work he does on my blankets. Is pure magic! My husband and I love to go in there and visit with him, it’s like visiting with a friend we’ve had forever. He never rushes us or makes us feel like just another person coming in to give him business. He talks to us about everything and anything, about our families, and then we get to business about the blankets. We’re happy to have met Steve & Heidi, and we will continue to go see them as often as we can. And you should too, you will not be disappointed! Thanks Steve and Heidi.🤗

I brought Heidi a dress I had purchased off-the-rack to wear as a bridesmaid in my sisters wedding. As a wheelchair user, finding clothes that fit well in a seated position is always a challenge. I hadnt considered having any alterations done besides a simple hem, but Heidi was quick to jump in with tips to customize the dress and make it fit as well as possible. I really cant say enough good things about how professional and fantastic the entire experience was! I now have a completely custom gown, measured to fit perfectly when worn in a wheelchair - no bunching, no extra fabric, AND its comfortable! In addition, after finishing the major alterations, Heidi even made a few last minute adjustments to the length on-site during my fitting appointment just to be sure every detail was perfect. Im so happy I found this shop, and Im looking forward to continue supporting Heidi and her team and they excellent work they do. If youre looking for any alterations - major or minor - look no further! This is the place to go!

I have used Heidi several times to alter evening dresses. Her customer service is first class and she is a talented and professional seamstress.I wouldnt trust anybody else with alterations - she recently altered my Mother of the Bride outfit, and even though I gave her short notice, she moved a mountain to accommodate me and complete everything on time. Thanks Heidi - best in the Springs, if not Colorado :)

I’m so incredibly happy I found this place! I came in to embroider a few handmade stockings, but will be going to this place for all alterations and sewing needs in the future. The moment you walk in you’re greeted by an incredibly knowledgeable and talented team that makes you feel welcomed and takes an interest in your projects. As far as the quality of work I can’t praise Steven enough. He’s incredibly patient and makes sure the design and thread color is perfect before he proceeds. I was astonished at how quickly he could turn around a project and my mom even drove down from Denver to use their services after seeing his work. If you’re looking for embroidery, custom clothing or alterations this is the place!!

I highly recommend Steven for your embroidery needs. I am extremely pleased with the service, the communication, the timeliness, and the quality of craftsmanship. I have received multiple compliments on my embroidered shirts. He even took extra time to explain how to get the highest quality embroidery with the best fabric types, and made some samples for me to see the sizing. Very impressed with Heidi, Steven, and the whole Button, Needle, and Wardrobe team.

I had a very special embroidery ribbon designed and made for the inside hem of a bridal gown--a tradition began by my mother nearly 40 years ago. Steve worked with much detail to obtain the correct layout, font, design, and thread colors to produce a perfect heirloom piece which will eventually be framed after the wedding! Heidi also perfected the edges of this piece, in order to attach lace around the ribbon. Overall, it is perfect and just what we wanted, and the bride was so surprised at her recent shower! Thank you to Steve and Heidi for a great and prompt experience!!Marianne Haas

The ladies at The Button the Needle and the Wardrobe were amazing! I brought in a few dresses that I wanted hemmed and taken it and they did an incredible job. I also had them alter a few jumpsuits so they weren’t so bag and now they fit perfectly! I can’t recommend them enough!

I had a wedding a week away and just picked up a nice suit that didnt fit quiet perfectly. I have Heidi a call and she was able to squeeze me in during their busy wedding season. She took the time to figure out exactly what I wanted and the hem and taper was ready, on schedule, and perfect. Will definitely be utilizing their services again.

Charming and welcoming business. Heidi and her team are wonderful. I had a leather jacket that was abit too big on me. Heidi took some measurements, we discussed how much I wanted it taken in around the waist. She did a fantastic job. The jacket looks incredible .I know I took my new jacket to the perfect place. :)Highly recommended! This is also a great place to go if youd like some private sewing lessons with Heidi. She has brilliant sewing & tailoring skills and makes some really distinctive garments. On my first visit I noticed a beautiful blue & silver evening dress on display that was breathtaking!Will be back as I have another jacket that needs to be adjusted.

I had originally gone to a *different* alterations place (I will leave unnamed) to alter my wedding dress. This other seamstress took my dress in 2 inches too tight, completely butchered the hem, and decided to add buttons to the back. This was 2 months before my wedding day and I thought I would have to buy a new dress. LUCKILY, a friend referred me to Button, Needle and the Wardrobe! Even though her schedule was packed, she fit an appointment in for me. They got it back to me in time for the wedding and it was perfect! The waist was taken out, lace laid back down, they fixed the buttons, straps and hem perfectly! I could not be more grateful! Heidi and her wonderful team are the nicest, most professional group I’ve worked with and their attention to detail is unmatched.Heidi, thank you so much! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to you guys!

I was recommended this business by a friend. I am so glad I went in because I had a great experience! The staff here are all so welcoming and friendly! I needed a stole embroidered for my graduation ceremony and they were patient and helped me get the perfect design. The process was smooth and they were efficient with getting my stole embroidered. I would totally recommend this business and will even be back myself for other alterations/embroidery needs.

I’m a little late posting, but wanted to circle back to say what an amazing job they did on some alterations for me.

Absolutely fantastic. I had two suits that I had taken to another tailor and when I picked them up they were very poorly done. I took them to The Button, The Needle and the Wardrobe for help and they did an amazing job of repairing the work and making them as good as new. Amazing staff and passionate about their craft. I have found the only place I will be using in the future. Don’t make the mistake I made, go to The Button, The Needle and The Wardrobe first. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve gone to this shop a couple times to have some very simple work done, and at a glance I’m not what their usual clientele would appear to be. While brides-to-be were having wedding dresses fitted, I just went in to have some patches sewn on a vest. Their customer service is by far the best I’ve ever experienced anywhere. I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you!

We found the Button the Needle and the Wardrobe while trying to find somewhere local that could alter a leather coat for my husband. We are beyond thrilled that Heidi not only could, but did it so fantastically that no one would ever be able to tell it has been altered. It looks amazing, and fits my husband so perfectly that it looks like it was made just for him. Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, her turnaround time was more than reasonable, and the price was less than we had anticipated. Hands down, finding Heidi and her shop was an unexpected delight and we will without a doubt be return customers. Above and beyond customer service, an absolute delight to do business with!

I bought my beautiful wedding dress up in Denver but finding a seamstress for alterations was daunting. After lots of research I found the Button, the Needle and the Wardrobe. Heidi and her team are amazing. I, like many brides, was shocked at the cost of alteration quotes I was getting from seamstresses I called but Heidi walked me through every inch of my dress over the phone for FREE, gave me a good estimate of costs, and she didn’t rush me to book with her. I feel like she truly understands what a bride needs and works with the bride to create a masterpiece. My alterations are perfect and she created a one of a kind bustle so the front of my dress and the back of my dress compliment each other when its dancing time! So often bustles are ugly and show the underside of the dress or bunch at the brides butt, not the case with Heidi. She designed the perfect bustle for me so I look elegant all day long. I will NEVER go to any other seamstress for alterations. She’s worth every penny you spend.

I called this company on a whim hoping to get a dress I bought online slightly altered so that I could wear it that same week for a date. At first, the gentleman that answered the phone stated that he didnt think it would be possible for the ladies who completed the alterations to get it done before the day I needed my dress due to an influx of prom dress alterations. The owner of the shop, however, stated that she would be able to squeeze me in, and encouraged me to bring in my dress after I described to her what I wanted/ needed. I took the dress in immediately and they called me THAT SAME DAY to let me know my dress what ready for pick up! The ladies did a fantastic job, and you would NEVER KNOW that my dress had to be altered. I will 100% be using them again!Clean shop, professional ladies, and great work!

I have some tunics i love that belonged to my mom; however, they are dated with flounces on the sides. Heidi altered them so that they look great, and I can wear them for many years to come! She did a fantastic job; her stitching and way she hemmed and trimmed each tunic is superb. Her location is super cute, too -- like a French dress shop with ample changing rooms and jewelry for sale. Shes very professional and you can tell that she loves what she does. Im excited to use her services in the future and highly recommend her.

I bought a $200 wedding dress off of Etsy. It was nice. But, it was way too large for me. I took it Heidi for alteration. It now fits me like a glove. She also suggested some beautiful lace on the edging which turned out lovely. And, she made an ivory belt to match. I am so very happy with my dress. It is perfect. She is also altering my MOH dress. I highly recommend this business. And, I will not go anywhere else.

This place is absolutely amazing. My mom and I went through Heidi’s classes. Even having some sewing experience she taught me all the best practices.

I have never been more disappointed, and I will never recommend your business again. My daughter had you measure her for her custom wedding dress being made in England, and your measurements were so off that it took three times your original estimate to make the necessary alterations. So unprofessional. Then you didnt even have the wrinkles steamed out when we picked it up!!! I used to work at Veras Bridal Shop and Alterations, and we never would have allowed a dress to go out the door wrinkled and not ready for the bride to wear. Unforgivable.

I took a suit and a few other items here to be tailored and it was a genuinely amazing experience. Heidi is professional and does spectacular work. I have only tried one other tailor in the area; they were significantly cheaper and it showed in their work. This is the place to go if you value quality results. Heidis also pretty funny 🤣Update: The sewing class is amazing. Just an all around great experience for anyone new to sewing or anyone looking to continue working on projects with Heidis professional oversight.

I have known the owners of The Button, The Needle & The Wardrobe for over a decade and have always been impressed with the quality of their work and the thoughtful and most caring way they treat their customers. My friend used Heidis (the owner) alteration services for her daughters wedding gown and was very please. So when it came time for me to get married, I did not even consider going anywhere else. I was married once before and, given my age, wanted something quite different from the average white wedding dress. Heidi designed a forest green floor-length dress for me, complete with lace overlay and three strands of lilies embroidered along the side of the dress. The dress is absolutely stunning and I am excited to wear it for my wedding in two weeks. Thank you to the entire staff of The Button, The Needle and The Wardrobe - but special thanks go to Heidi and her husband. Blessings to you.

Heidi and her team were a DREAM to work with.

After two years of wedding planning and two rescheduled weddings due to COVID, it feels like Heidi at the Button, the Needle & the Wardrobe is a family friend. Heidi altered/tailored all our groomsmen’s suits, my mom’s mother of the bride dress, my father’s suit, one of my bridesmaid’s dresses, my now husband’s suit, AND my wedding dress for my May 2021 wedding. Less than a month before the wedding, I had a change of heart and purchased a new wedding dress online, I called the Button, the Needle, & the Wardrobe in a panic knowing it would need alterations with an incredibly quick turnaround time. Despite it being busy season with weddings and proms, Heidi fit me in and was able to alter the dress within two weeks. Heidi has an incredible attention to detail and ensured that everything fit perfectly (for my whole family and wedding party) for the big day. If you are in Colorado Springs and in need of tailoring or alterations, the Button, Needle and Wardrobe is the place to go!

Review №38

I purchased a sample wedding dress from Something New Boutique for my upcoming wedding. I was looking for alterations and Heidi came highly recommended. The dress was beautiful but needed the broken zipper replaced and to be taken out a bit. I reached out to her and made an appointment. She requested that I send photos of me in my dress to her first so she could give me an estimate.After I sent the photos she sent me an email asking for me to call her. This is where she told me that I was too big for my dress and should either sell it and get something else or see if Something New would take the dress back. I asked if she could just take the zipper off and replace it with a corset back. She stated this would not fix the issue and trying to get a whole new dress 4 months before my wedding was the best option. She cancelled my in face appointment at this time.I was devastated and began reaching out to other seamstresses if this was truly my only option. 4 other seamstress shops agreed that Heidis consultation seemed not only unprofessional but incorrect. My fiancee was angry about how I was treated and decided to call Heidi himself, to which she denied everything and told him he could talk to her coworkers as her witnesses. No apology, no explanation, nothing.I took my dress to one of the other four seamstresses that disagreed with the opinion and she has done an amazing job. The dress fits perfectly and has a new corset back which looks beautiful. The exact request that Heidi stated would not fix the issue. Not sure if Heidi is unskilled or is just opposed to working on plus size clothes but I would never recommend her to anyone, ever.

I trusted Heidi and her team to alter my wedding gown. The salon I purchased from recommended this shop as the only person I would trust to take apart a gown and put it back together.I thought my dress came in very well fitted, but now it fits like a glove! Its absolutely perfect. Im so impressed with the integrity of the alterations. You cant tell that the dress has even been touched.I was especially concerned about the train, since the skirt is crepe. Heidi came up with a 5-point design for the back that evenly distributes the trains weight and is gorgeous when bundled!Im so so so excited to wear my gown this June!Im also getting a bridesmaid dress for another wedding altered here and Im excited to see the results. I would trust them with anything in my closet.Thank you Heidi and Team!

I had a great experience with Heidi at The Button, the Needle, and the Wardrobe! I had one dress I hadnt been able to wear because it was too long in the torso for me, and another that gaped open at the wrap neckline so it couldnt be trusted to not have a wardrobe malfunction. Heidi was able to deconstruct the first dress and sew it so it fit me perfectly, and she fixed the other dresss problem with the neckline. Heidi was very friendly, professional, completed everything in a timely manner, and the cost of the alterations was very reasonable. Im so happy I can wear both dresses now, and I will definitely be returning to Heidi when I need more alterations done!

Heidi and her talented team at The Button, The Needle and The Wardrobe did such a fantastic job on my wedding gown. I needed it taken in, hemmed and bustled, and my gown had lots of layers of very delicate materials, like tulle. Heidi re-worked the gown so it sat on my body perfectly and where it flattered me best. I was particularly worried about the bustle, as I had seen some bustles on tulle skirts that I did not like at all. But Heidi was able to design a bustle that looked elegant and not poofy. And, on top of that, she sewed matching buttons and button loops into the skirt for the bustle so it looks natural.The whole staff is so kind and helpful. They know their stuff and they make it their mission to make certain every person who comes to them feels good and looks good in their clothes.Top-quality work. They made an already beautiful gown even more gorgeous. I am getting married in less than a month and I absolutely cant wait. I know Im going to feel that much more beautiful because Heidi and her team helped give me the wedding gown of my dreams.

I came to Heidi with a crisis. Id taken a risk and purchased a wedding dress online, and I had 72 hours to figure out if it could be altered to fit me or if I needed to return it.

I needed my wedding dress altered and Heidi and her staff were exceptionally helpful, going above and beyond, as the dress shop I purchased from, in another state had miss measured and gave me a smaller dress rather than a larger one, making it a bit more stressful to alter.

Heidi saved my wedding dress!!! I got this beautiful 1920 style dress at a bridal boutique in Denver and took it to roxannas alterations, there was a huge language barrier but since she did a great job on my friends dress I trusted her. When I came back the cups didn’t fit (which I was kind of skeptical the first time around but I’m not a seamstress so I didn’t want to fuzz) so roxanna let me take off my dress put in different cups and send me on my way (without letting me try again). A friend recommended Heidi, I haven’t tried my dress since I picked it up at roxannas alterations, when I tried it on in Heidis shop I was close to tears by all the messed up stuff that was going on. I didn’t even want my dress anymore. Heidi kept reassuring me that everything would be fixed even grabbed one of her associates to figure out game plans to get everything back in order! Today picked up my dress and it was perfect! I was close to tears again but this time out of joy I could see myself walking down the isle in it! I am so grateful I have found Heidi they did an amazing job fixing all then previous mistakes and I am beyond relieved that I can wear the dress I fell In love with!!!

I brought them a utility kilt that didnt fit (largely because I bought it online and had no idea how to measure for a kilt). Not only did they alter it to fit, but they were able to add pieces of my family tartan in the pleats and on the pockets, making it a truly custom piece that I am having trouble removing from my person.

Heidi was wonderful to work with! I brought in my Hayley Paige dress and wanted to have it fitted, add a belt and create a bustle to a rather complicated handkerchief style ball gown dress. Heidi suggested an applique she had in the store which turned out to be a perfect addition to the dress! She did a beautiful job – the dress fit like a glove, the belt and applique look wonderful and her bustle was gorgeous and matched the handkerchief style of the dress. She ended up creating three layers of bustles that were easy for my planner to put together. Thank you Heidi and team, I look forward to working with you again!

My experience here was so amazing. I had gone to a different seamstress first for my wedding dress. They ended up being awful and didnt alter my dress well at all. I went to Heidi and she was so wonderful. She fixed everything for me and paid attention to every little detail. I brought my dress in pretty close to my wedding but they were able to finish my wedding dress just a few days before my wedding! It fit PERFECTLY. I am so so so happy with this place and their attention to detail. I highly recommend Heidi.

Steven did an incredible job helping me design and embroider two saddle pads. He took a great deal of time to sit down with me to determine what I wanted and then helped me design it. The turnaround time was very short. The pricing was fair. The saddle pads look amazing! I would definitely recommend this business for any and all embroidery needs. I will return next time I need embroidery. Thank you!

This review covers my experience working with Heidi and her staff on my Star Trek Monster Maroon uniform/costume project. This was a very challenging project, which is why Im glad I was able to find Heidi and her team. I had been researching this project for about a year before I actually started looking for a good all-in-one professional service. I had her do a few alterations to my military uniforms, then we started collaborating on the Monster Maroon.This was her second time doing this, so she had experience and suggestions for how to ensure the final product turned out the way it did. The other important thing to keep in mind was that this project took the better part of a year to complete due to both of our busy schedules and the need to order materials. While the entire project took only 7-8 appointments/fittings, each one was about a month apart. The heavy summer wedding season also meant waiting a little longer, but I was never in a rush to complete this. The Monster Maroon is not easy and you should definitely be prepared for a lengthy process of fitting and re-fitting to ensure a proper tailored look in the end.Heidi was a professional through the whole thing. She is very detail-focused and will frequently offer advice on options during the process to ensure a complete understanding of what the choices will lead to in the end. This is a very important quality when making something from raw materials rather than an alteration. The rest of the staff were also very excited to have the opportunity to work on a project like this again. Rebecca in particular was excited because shes a Star Trek fan, which made the experience even more fun.I would absolutely recommend the Button, the Needle, and the Wardrobe for all your custom sewing, embroidery, alterations and fashion design needs!

Extremely Profesional business, and even more so with their accommodations. I was on a tight time line in order to have a item fabricated and ready for an upcoming event and even though I left them with half the time they needed to complete the item they still chose to accept the challenge and Im sure they worked over time to keep their word as they finished 1 day early to ensure we had the item for the event!!!!

I am new to town and was looking for a place to have my wedding dress altered. I stumbled across this shop, and I am so incredibly impressed. Heidi was so kind when I called about my dress, and very helpful. When I went to try on the dress to show her what needed changing, she had everything ready for me, and helped me achieve the look of the dress that I was hoping for. She even helped me find a belt to make my dress that much more special. The alterations were very well done, completed in plenty of time and were very affordable. When I picked up the dress, she helped me put on my veil to make sure it would work with the dress length, and helped me with ideas of what to wear for the reception with my dress bustled. She even helped us take photos for my mother how could not be there. I have a wonderful experience! She was very knowledgeable, skilled and helpful. I will definitely be bringing more pieces for alterations.

Heidi and team are pleasant and helpful. I had two blazers totally reconstructed that were to big for my petite frame. I am very happy with the fit of the blazers. Unbelievable work. I will continue to use The Wardrobe for future alterations. Thank you.Cheryl Schmidt

I came here with a bridesmaid dress that needed a hem and a modesty panel. The ladies were so friendly and went above and beyond to help me. I’m so grateful for them! They were also willing to work with my budget. Any needs I have I will definitely be coming back! I’d recommend to any of my friends as well.

Always timely and professional. My upcoming wedding required tailoring men’s suits to include a military mess dress and 2 suits for groomsmen. Heidi and team tailored all 3 suits efficiently and with precision. My mess dress fits much better around the legs and waistband and maintained the uniform requirements. The suits fit my groomsmen better than store-bought and worn suits with an additional need to lengthen the arms which was well-designed and sewn and no trace of the change made from the inside. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the alterations at Heidi’s shop. You pay for the service, professionalism and experience and it is worth it if you want to look sharp in your clothing.

When I bought my dream wedding dress with delicate lace and a long train, I had no idea how much diligence and talent it would need in the altering process (as it was the only one left, 4 sizes too big- so I was swimming in this dress)!I trusted Heidis professional opinion right away and was absolutely impressed by her and her teams effort to make it fit. It was not only a magical fit, but I finally cried seeing myself in it. I then knew it was meant for me. She left no trace of alterations, it was affordable, and I received it in time for my elopement.Thank you so much for taking such good care of my dress and doing an incredible job! I will continue to bring my alterations here in the future.

I brought my daughter here for a sewing class. I am extremely disappointed that not a single person was wearing a mask in this establishment. As a business owner I dont know why you would be willing to take that risk. After the class I emailed Heidi about my concern. I received an email a couple of days later from her saying she would call me to discuss. I have not received a phone call. Our circumstances at home dictate that we be very cautious, and this situation was unacceptable.Update - after reading the response from the owner... there were certainly more than 4 ppl in the business. 4 in the class, sure. But a lot more ppl in the store. And I find it interesting that you consulted with everyone in the class about the need to not wear masks, as we were part of the class and this was never brought to our attention.

The entire process was easy--I couldnt be happier. After an underwhelming experience at Davids Bridal with a bridesmaids dress, I took my wedding dress here. It turned out beautiful, and Heidi made it fun to come in for this! In fact, I then took a second dress in, and am about to schedule an appointment for a third. One of the best in the Springs.Also, in case youre going in for bridal/bridesmaid/prom, etc. Heidi has amazing jewelry for this at an absolute steal.

Heidi and her crew are fabulous! I ordered my wedding dress from Australia and it needed a few adjustments to fit just right. She knew exactly what I needed without me having to explain anything! The cost was very reasonable and the process was seamless! I will definitely be using her for all of my alteration needs!!

Heidi altered my wedding dress and I could not have asked for more! She did an amazing job and completed my dress much quicker than I expected at a lower price than I thought I was going to pay. I will absolutely return if I ever need anything altered again. Thank you Heidi!

I found Hiedi when she was running her business out of her home store. My daughter needed a dress fitted for a high school dance. She was quick and so ‘on point ‘. It was perfect! I have since been back to her at her new store front to have some massive alterations done to my flight attendant uniforms. She made miracles happen as they are not pretty to begin with. She actually made me feel professional in them even thou they generally look slumpy. Lol. Now, The Button, The Needle and The Wardrobe is the only place I prefer to go. Thru Covid I have lost some weight and now need to take all my uniforms back to her again. Haha See you soon BNW!

Heidi and her team are the best tailors and seamstresses in Colorado Springs. Actually, Heidi is probably the best with whom I’ve ever worked! She altered my fiancée’s suit and accessory pieces, my wedding dress, and two other dresses. All of the pieces fit perfectly! My wedding dress was quite complex, too, with intricate, open lace and multiple adjustments to be made. She truly made the dress feel like my own!

I brought in a challenging bridesmaids dress that I had to order online without being able to try on a sample. I was warned that there was little that could be done just based on the way the dress was made, but that they would try their best. The alterations were absolutely perfect and I feel so much better in the dress! The women who work here were sweet and helpful and friendly. I will definitely be returning once I get my wedding dress for my wedding next year

Look no further for your tailoring needs! The moment you step inside the shop, you know that magic happens there.I have entrusted Heidi and her amazing staff with two very special dresses so far, and I could not have been happier. This will be my go-to location for alterations from here on out, and I recommend them to anyone who asks (or doesnt). I have taken both a new dress and a vintage dress in for alterations, and what I love about Heidi is that she provides so much more than just your average hemming, taking in, etc. She has an eye for aesthetics, knows how fabric should drape on the body, and what proportions look good depending on the wearer and design of the garment. You can trust her to make you look good!A bonus is that they also offer petticoat rentals in case you need that little extra oomph for an event.I highly recommend this business!

Heidi and her staff have always done such a wonderful and timely job anytime Ive needed alterations. She altered two formal gowns for me within the past year and both dresses fit perfectly. I received so many compliments! I would highly recommend Heidi to anyone needing alterations whether for a simple hem or something more formal.

Heidi was not professional at all. While I was getting fitted she was telling me that I need to buy a belt for my dress and when I told her I liked it plain she was very judgmental and basically told me it didn’t look good with the way I was wearing it. Then when she told me the price, I told her that unfortunately it was too far out of my price range (more than double what I paid for the dress) and that I was really sorry for wasting her time but that I had to look elsewhere. She told me that my dress was going to “look like a train wreck” by not having her do it and that if I wanted the dress to not fit or look good, a “cheap place” will be great for me. She also told me several times that there was no way that I was going to get my dress back in time if I used anyone besides her, even though my event is more than a month out. It was really humiliating to have a business owner tell me that I’m going to look ugly on my wedding day because I cannot afford her prices. Horrible experience and I would not suggest giving her your business as she will find someway to state her negative opinions of you and how you are planning your event/outfit. The advertisement of “we’ll pamper you and your dress” was a joke. I was there for 20 minutes and was told I’m poor and my dress and myself will look ugly on my wedding day. Poor excuse for a business owner and a human being.

I purchased my wedding dress online. After receiving, I called Heidi in tears. She took such incredible care of me, providing reassurance and helping me figure out how best to alter the dress. How she was able to completely transform my dress in a short amount of time is amazing. The dress is absolutely beautiful now, fitting both my personality and body type. Very thankful for her!

This is a hidden gem! I am incredibly impressed with Heidi and her team. She came highly recommended to me by fiancé, at the time. VERY precise, cooperative, professional and efficient. During COVID challenges, Heidi made time for my fittings when my wedding dress was delayed in production. Not only did she make sure to make the timing of my fittings prior to our wedding day but she also designed and made my veil which I didn’t even have time to shop for during this challenging time. It is worth the money to have your items tailored here. My dresses, pants, and anything I take to her fit me so much better than how I purchase at a store. I think I spent more on the alterations for one item than the item I purchased at a discount clothing shop however, I wear it more often now that it fits me. When you want quality service, this is the place you should visit.

Highly recommended! Ill only take my alteration needs to Heidi and the Button, the Needle and the Wardrobe. I have many creative ideas for my football jerseys, whether it be mixing and matching different sleeves to a jersey, adding new numbers, letters and patches. Heidi always takes the time to listen to my ideas and sees my vision and makes them happen, no matter how far fetched it may be. She is patient, friendly and her staff is always very courteous. Her husband Steve helped with an improbable project when the screen printed trim around one of my jerseys numbers had all but peeled off. He was able to embroider a new trim around the number and made it better than new! I used to live in Colorado Springs and would often take my football jerseys to her for alterations. Now I live out of state and I wait until I go visit family in the Springs to continue taking my alteration needs to her. If you want your ideas to become reality, go no further than the Button, the Needle and the Wardrobe.

I was in the market for having a leather jacket tailored. I decided to go with Heidi after reading many of the positive reviews. I even read some of the negative reviews to get a whole picture of peoples experiences here. Well, based off of my experience I just dont see how Heidis business has any negative reviews. I believe some people may just have standards that are incapable of being met.Heidi not only masterfully tailored my leather jacket for a better fit but she also repaired a pocket on the jacket that was not discovered to have hole in it until after I had picked it up from her. The repair was done the next day and for free! Customer service here is top notch. This is a straight forward business and Heidi is as honest as they come. You should feel confident in going here for any alterations as she and her team are experts at what they do. Spend your money with confidence here and support the local business. I know I will be using Heidi for my future tailoring needs.

Was really impressed with the embroidery work Steve did for me. I had very little ideas about font or colors but Steve patiently walked me through some suggestions and I could tell immediately that he understood what I was looking for. The final product was excellent! I am thrilled with how it looks and also was pleased with the speed he completed it. I will used The Button, The Needle and the Wardrobe for all my embroidery and tailoring needs!
