Else Lee McMillan opened Fashion Alterations in 1980 making our store the second fashion alteration shop ever opened in Austin, TX. Mrs. McMillan was able to run a very successful business for over 30 years. Once she retired, she passed the business onto one of her employees Victoria Cundiff. Victoria moved to Austin from Cali, Colombia a little over 20 years ago and has worked at Fashion Alterations ever since. Fashion Alterations has been able to stay in business for so long due to our dedication to perfection and ability to keep our customers more than satisfied. Once you have experienced our customer service, you will never need to go looking for another seamstress or tailor.

Testimonials
“Victoria has been helping me with my wardrobe for over 20 years -- and she's helped me save a ton of money by taking in and letting out my clothing as my size has gone up and down over the years! She's a master at altering complicated suits, dresses and formals, and she knows how to get a simple top to look flattering by nipping it in here and there. She's also very knowledgeable about what's worth altering and what isn't, plus she's incredibly pleasant, fun and reliable!"

“We have used Fashion Alterations for almost all of the twenty years we have lived in Austin. Victoria has a great eye and superb technical skill. Very happy with their work!!”

“Victoria did a FABULOUS job with my wedding dress. When my custom-made dress I ordered from Etsy came in the wrong fabric AND color, Victoria put everything right. In addition to tailoring the top, she also completely replaced the skirt with the gorgeous fabric you can see in the picture. THANK YOU so much for everything!”

“I'm extremely satisfied with this service! Victoria is a genius. I had a designer dress altered because the chest area almost had a defective design. Victoria immediately spotted the problem and came up with the cleverest idea for how to fix it. She also left some room in case it needed to be further taken out in the future. I'm very impressed! My husband also had a ripped leather jacket and we had been asking around at professional leather repair places and they made it sound like it was going to be a complicated fix that was going to show a lot. Victoria fixed it cheaply and perfectly, in a very simple way. I doubt anybody will notice the "scar". We were quoted a little bit lower than the final price but we were happy to pay it. Plus, she's just a cool person! ”

“If you're looking for a locally owned business owed and operated by a female Austinite, look no further! Fashion Alterations has been around for years. My parents have been coming here to get their alterations and tailoring for over 10 years. This is the only place I trust with my clothes. I now live in Dallas and will drive or ship my clothes to their shop for alterations. Victoria is such an amazing woman and has always taken great care of me. I would definitely recommend this little hidden gem to everyone!!”
