So Anna's has been around Charlotte for a long time, first over on East Boulevard where Sloan and a few other boutiques called home (great placement there). Now they have a much bigger space just off Park Road, and next to a major bridal store (great placement x2). They simply have a great reputation for competent and speedy work and my experiences are happily consistent.\n\nAs a guy who wears a full suit 5 days a week, a good tailor is a necessity. The ladies out front at Anna's may not have perfect English at all times, but they have the skills when it comes to tailoring a suit. Pants hemmed to perfect specification with cuffs, no problem. Waist taken in, spot on. Jacket pulled in, we do that. Jacket cuffs taken in, got you there too. \n\nYou just slide into a dressing room and then walk out and take the box stand for a quick measurement and marking. Minus a star for the mirror and box being right in the middle of the store and facing the parking lot. Modesty takes a back seat here. Luckily, I think the ladies taking the measurements have seen it all and take it in stride. If only the other customers did so as well.\n\nTurn around time is also fantastic. I recently had 3 suits altered within 3 days. I thought that was insane- especially if you have ever tried in-store alterations. Prices are all well within line for usual services- hems to pants $10. Waist tucks $10. Special requests and services are more expensive, though, so just consider what it is you are asking for. Overall, great place for professional and speedy tailoring work, this Charlotte long-timer has earned it's place in my go-to book.
