      10/10 recommend. The owner and her daughter are fantastic, communication is stellar! Prices are wonderful, clean and organized business. Fantastic customer service, I had my wedding gown altered here and was so impressed! I will definitely be using Busy Bee in the future!

      I won't never bring stuffs to this place ever again. They told me that my jacket was going to be ready in a week which was Friday; after a week, I came to pick it up and was told that it was not done, then was told that it would be ready on Monday. then I got the text message asking to pick it up on Tuesday instead, because it was not done yet .... I gave it until Friday to come pick it up and assumed that it should have been done by then; but nope, still not done. What I needed was just some adjustments to the sleeves.

      I have lost some weight, and needed some shorts taken in. This is a clean, well lit, organized place. Each time I came other customers were there, but measuring and paying were easy in and out. I would recommend.

      Busy Bee Tailor did an amazing job tailoring my wedding dress. I needed the straps shortened and the bottom of the dress hemmed. My dress was originally very simple one length with no train. When I took it in for tailoring, the were able to add a short train that really elevated the look of the dress. I absolutely loved it. They also were incredibly professional and punctual. I would highly recommend Busy Bee Tailor!

      Super helpful, very reasonable pricing and wonderful results! I took my wedding dress here for some hemming and she was able to turn it around very fast and was able to offer very helpful suggestions.

      I had previously asked her about another dress I had been considering and was so impressed with her knowledge, insight and very reasonable pricing!

      She had been recommended by a friend...it shows that word of mouth really can be good advertising, but I figured I'd post for those who haven't had the chance to hear about this place or try it yet.

      I got a suite from a friend who worked at J Crew as a designer. The suit was free, but this also means it was not my actual size! I don't really like wearing suits, I feel modern suits never look good on any body except George Clooney! And I bet he has a tailor, to make that sharp cut look good!

      Yes I was in a wedding and I needed to wear that free suite I got, so we went to Busy Bee to get it to fit snug! I like my clothes to feel snug! The lady at Busy Bee, was great, she listened to what I wanted, put some pins in, made me turn around a few times! And then told me to come back in a week! Well, she actually got it done in 3 days, the suit fit great, and the wedding was a success! She made me comfortable both in the store and after, and made me feel like I was dressing for success! I got nothing on George Clooney, but then again, he probably didn't get his suit for free either!

      I went in with two dresses for my sons weddings this year to Busy Bee. Thanks to their expertise the dresses now fit me beautifully! I am absolutely thrilled with the work done and I highly recommend them!

      Not a bad place. They are actually very nice people and do a good job. The only issue I had with this place is they quoted me a price for sewing a military insignia patch on my uniform for 2 and charged me a little more when picked up. I asked about it, and they just smiled and said yes yes. Yes what....thank you for stopping by. LOL I said ok and left....weird. Also, they probably should issue a receipt with price and a number for pick up. I did not get one, but they remembered who I was. Don't know if my review is helpful, but it was my experience.
