The owner is such a sweet lady! She was very honest and fair about what I needed and what I could go without. I am so glad I found such a wonderful place with quality work and at a quality price. Great family owned business.

Love taking pants for hemming/waist take ins and also more complex projects like creating a skirt and top out of a dress (:

Outstanding!! We took a wedding dress to be altered and hemmed. It turned out perfect. The quality, service and timeliness were superb. Gladys was kind, clear on the pricing and timing and very helpful, and Anita did beautiful work on the dress. Nelda’s is an Austin treasure!
