THERESA’S STORY

I am the Owner & Master Tailor of Theresa’s Alterations, serving Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky since 2015. My goal is to make you look your best.

Origin Story In Vietnam

When I was in 8th grade, which was during the Vietnam War, my father enrolled me in an apprenticeship school for seamstresses. I learned about measuring and cutting cloth by hand for each unique person. Sewing became a passion for me and since then I have been pursuing the perfection of this craft for my entire life.

Making America My New Home

I escaped Vietnam on a wooden boat after the war. After arriving in Covington in 1984, I immediately started work as a seamstress. Later, I joined an upscale alterations shop near Kenwood Towne Center in Cincinnati. Over the next 30 years, I built a portfolio of bridal and bridal party dresses, finest made-to-measure suits, and everything in between.

What Sets Tailors Apart

I believe both experience and continuing to learn new skills is what makes me the best at what I do. I understand different body types and current styles that flatters each individual person. The correct adjustments will make you appear leaner, taller, and more confident. And this is why you can trust me.

My Dream Come True

In 2015, friends who owned the shop where we are currently located had decided to retire and move to Arizona to be with their children and grandchildren. With this new opportunity, and the support of my family, I started a new chapter in my life as a business owner of my very own shop, Theresa’s Alterations. My husband and daughters come together to help as a family. This is my American Dream come true.
