Expert Tailoring in Roanoke
From wedding gowns to everyday favorites, Lynda Sampang restores, refits, and renews garments with the kind of hand-finished attention that only decades of practice can produce.
What We Do
Every garment deserves a second life — or a perfect first fit. Here is how we help.
Pants, skirts, dresses, and coats — we hem with invisible stitches and matched hems so the original finish looks as though it was always meant to be that way.
Take in, let out, taper, or restructure — we reshape garments to flatter your silhouette while preserving drape, balance, and the integrity of the original design.
Your special occasion garment deserves exceptional care. We handle delicate fabrics, intricate beading, and layered constructions with meticulous precision.
Split seams, torn linings, missing buttons — we repair with the same care as the original construction, making damage virtually disappear.
Need something unconventional? We work with your vision — whether it is adding sleeves, changing necklines, or transforming an heirloom into something new.
Before storing your seasonal wardrobe, bring in pieces that need attention. We ensure every garment is ready for its next wearing season.
About Lynda
Alterations By Lynda Sampang has been serving the Roanoke community from our shop on Murray Avenue for over fifteen years. What began as a personal passion for needlework grew into a trusted neighborhood tailor shop — the kind of place where your name is remembered and your garments are treated like family heirlooms.
Every piece that comes through our doors receives individual attention: we measure, discuss, and plan before a single stitch is placed. No rush jobs, no shortcuts — just honest, careful work that stands the test of time.
How It Works
A straightforward process built around your schedule and your garment.
Drop off your garment at our Murray Avenue shop or call ahead to schedule a fitting appointment.
We discuss the changes you want, assess the fabric and construction, and give you an honest timeline.
Every alteration is executed by hand where it counts, with machine work finishing the rest with equal precision.
Pick up your garment and try it on. If anything needs adjustment, we will make it right — no extra charge.
Kind Words
Lynda took in my mother's wedding dress and made it fit me perfectly. The attention to the beading and lace was incredible — you cannot tell a single stitch was touched.
I bring all my suits here now. The fit is always spot-on, and Lynda remembers every detail from my last visit. That kind of consistency is rare.
She restored a vintage coat I had given up on — the zipper, the lining, even the buttons. It looks better than new. I will be back for everything.
