She initially quoted $60 to shorten it with professional-quality work, plus an additional $70 for alterations to improve the fit. He decided to go ahead with just the shortening, and Foroogh promised a two-day turnaround which she delivered right on time. To our surprise, she completed the additional fitting services at no extra charge after learning he is a college student. The craftsmanship was flawless, you genuinely can't tell the shirt was altered at all. Excellent service, exceptional quality, and a truly thoughtful business owner. 5/5, highly recommend!

I had contacted Michael on a Wednesday around 11 PM freaking out because the dress I had purchased did not fit and I needed it the next day for an upcoming wedding. Michael responded back very promptly and called me first thing in the morning the following day. He told me to come in and over the phone. I could already tell that he was so kind and I felt super welcomed, especially with the timeframe I was asking for. I went in on Thursday morning at 9:30 AM and Michael listened to all my needs and articulated that very clearly to the seamstress. They both sized me, measured me and came up with an exceptional game plan to extend the dress that didn't fit (it was too tight around the rib cage but big on the breast area). I did not have too much to work with and on top of that I was using a really unique fabric and a very chocolate brown color that's pretty unique. Also, Michael was very communicative and clear with pricing along with the descriptions. I got a call at 3:30 PM that the alterations were complete. When I went in, I was so amazed about how seamless the transition was. The dress fit perfectly and both treated me with so much kindness. This was my first time going to an alteration place near this area and I'm so glad that I found Michael. I will be back for the amazing customer service, amazing workmanship, and exceptional clothing/fabric that they have. I could not recommend more! Thank you Michael!

Mike not only shortened my sweater, but re-created the intricate hem design! I was so impressed. And I had a t-shirt, which I wanted to be turned into a tank top. I told him to just cut off the sleeves and shortened the hem. But he re-styled it and made it look so much better than I had even hoped for. This tailor is an artist. He makes custom clothing, too. And the prices are reasonable for the high quality of work he does. I'm having my whole closet re-done:)

Not only were they able to accommodate all of my requests, but they completed the alterations within 4 days just in time for my event. The results were excellent. The fit is flattering, the craftsmanship is clean and precise, and the overall transformation exceeded my expectations. You'd never know the shirt started out two sizes too big and completely the wrong cut. I really appreciate the professionalism, attention to detail, and timely service. If you're looking for reliable tailoring or alterations--especially on a quick turnaround--I highly recommend them. Other points to note, they have dedicated parking spaces out front as well as a quick changing area for fittings.

My problem is with owners/employees who do not return a smile or meet my eye. Whether intended or not, this made me feel too unimportant to be bothered with, more like I was a pesky fly. To be clear, I have zero problem with business owners not speaking English, especially when a co-owner is fluent and handles communication. I am the grandchild of immigrants. I am also unhappy with a fluctuating price. Again, don't lower the price after I regretfully and politely decide to leave. Set a fair price to begin with, not a high price you then lower when a customer balks. Most of us are very uncomfortable about bargaining over price and discovering the first price given is a starting bid. Just sharing my opinion.

I've been coming here for nearly 20 years. Kim usually does decent work but a few recent…read moreexperiences have me questioning her integrity. I've brought in plenty of pants for tapering, shortening, taking in the waist, etc. Last winter I brought in pants that were off the rack and a little long with a 32 length. As usual, I tried them on with shoes and Kim helped measured the length to shorten and I picked them up a week later. Super quick process. I didn't try them on at pickup since I had a lot of work done by her previously so I had no reason to doubt her work. Unfortunately I went 3 months without wearing them but when I did, they were still far too long so I had to bring them in again. I explained the situation and when she examined the pants, she told me it was still the factory stitching so there wasn't any work done by her or any other tailor. I was surprised by that, and that she didn't recognize her own work. I assured her I brought them in just a few months prior. When she remeasured the length, she marked to pants to shorten another 1 1/8 in. She said that she always cuts the length requested by customers and so it was my fault and had to pay again for work on the pants. I have all my pants around 29 inseam so this obviously was not accurate and rather annoying she tried to blame me for the incorrect length since she was the one who previously measured. I needed them done so I went ahead. I didn't want to leave a review about this but the following experience was embarrassing and needed to share. I recommended her shop to a friend who needed to shorten the length of 2 curtains but had a horrible experience. At pickup, Kim casually mentioned that 1 of the curtains were already damaged at drop-off and that she decided to do a free patching for the damage. My friend was not notified of any damage prior to pickup, and furious there wasn't any sort of communication. She couldn't even return the "already damaged" curtains because of Kim's unilateral decision to patch the hole. I felt responsible so I sent my friend $600 to cover the cost of curtains. If there was truly damage already, why wouldn't you inform the customer first to decide options?! This used to be my go to tailor but it's now on my blacklist.

I got my wedding dress at Anthropologie in Walnut Creek and Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations was…read moreactually on a vetted list of bridal seamstresses in the area. I picked them because they were the closest ones to me geographically, but in hindsight I'm so grateful and feel lucky because it ended up being a wonderful experience. It takes a lot of blind trust to leave your dress with a complete stranger to cut up, only picking it up in the final weeks or even days before your wedding. I called the # listed and was connected with Thao (whose mother is Thuy) and immediately I loved knowing that this is a family business. Thao is very responsive and if she misses your call, you should leave a voicemail and she will get back to you in a timely fashion. Thao got me scheduled in right away for my free consultation within 48 hours of me reaching out. This was in November 2025 and the consult took us about 25 minutes. Initially, we just discussed what alterations needed to be done and we calendared a time for me to come in again for another fitting (closer to my March wedding). We agreed for me to come back in January 2026 after the holidays, to see if my body had changed at all. At the time, in November, my dress was a "perfect fit" and only needed some hemming and a bustle. In January, she quoted me and I paid at my final fitting pick-up. When I returned in January, thankfully, my body had not changed at all. Thao was actually the one who told me that my dress was a perfect fit in a November so beyond my regular diet and exercise, I did not make any major lifestyle changes so I wasn't too surprised when my dress still fit great! She pinned up my dress to prepare to hem four layers and we scheduled out another fitting for the first week of March 2026. This appointment took about 40 minutes. In March 2026, I came and the innermost skirt was a little too long at my second fitting when I tried to practice some moves for my first dance. Thao said she was able to fix it- no problem. She even steamed my cathedral veil for me. I returned a week later for my final fitting and everything was perfect. She sent me off and I got married later that week. I felt wonderful and beautiful on my wedding day, and I wore my gown for over 15 hours. Just this past weekend, I connected with her again to schedule out dropping off my dress and veil for dry-cleaning and some minor repairs. My dress had a few tears and the outer skirt was torn. Thao was really honest about her approach and shared how she planned to repair it and quoted me on the spot. She is really transparent and fast, and her prices are very fair. You can spend hours comparing quotes in the area, or you can just trust me - a really happy bride - and know that depending on how much work has to be done on your gown, you may be quoted somewhere between $200-650 here and her work will leave you feeling like you have -1 major thing to worry about. I think the key to the best experience is less on the seamstress and more on the bride: find a dress you feel comfortable in, one that compliments your body, and perhaps one that doesn't need a million things changed. Lastly, some personal advice: plan ahead- she is super busy and has tons of brides coming in everyday who already have an appointment. Don't wait until a month out to see a seamstress for the first time...! Make sure to bring your wedding shoes at every fitting if you have them!
