    The best seamstress around. All of my items she always handles with care too. It took me a while to find a great fit in the East Bay.

    I dropped off a dress to be cleaned before my friend's wedding, which happened to be Thanksgiving…read moreweekend in Southern California. I was told to pick it up at a certain time, but due to some sort of miscommunication, by the time I arrived the store had already closed early because of the holiday. Since Thanksgiving was the very next day, I figured I was out of luck and started mentally preparing to find a different dress to wear. I called the store anyway and somehow managed to get in touch with the owner. He explained that they had closed early because of Thanksgiving, which I completely understood. But when I told him my situation, he did something I absolutely did not expect. He said he was about 40 minutes away, but insisted on turning around and coming back to the store just so I could get my dress. He drove all the way back, opened the shop for me, and then had to drive another 40 minutes again afterward. I honestly couldn't believe it. That level of customer service is incredibly rare these days. He went so far out of his way to help me, especially right before a major holiday. Truly 10/10 service. I'm so grateful and will absolutely continue coming here. Highly recommend!

From the very beginning, he was super upfront, honest, and transparent about everything, which I really appreciated. Wedding planning can already feel overwhelming, so having someone I could fully trust made such a difference. You can tell right away that he's incredibly skilled and truly knows what he's doing -- the fit turned out absolutely perfect. One thing I especially loved was how helpful he was with my bustle. I had no idea what direction to go in, and he took the time to walk me through different options and explain what would work best. His recommendation ended up being exactly what I needed -- both practical and beautiful. Beyond the actual work, his support throughout the whole process honestly took a huge weight off my shoulders. I always felt taken care of and knew I was in good hands. So so grateful I found him -- thank you again, Mo!

I brought in 10 incredibly…read moreimportant items from my wedding including my couture wedding dress, a vintage rehearsal dinner dress, my after party dress, a beaded welcome party dress, my husband's tux, and several other pieces. Every single item was treated with the utmost care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Joseph, the owner, truly makes this place special. He is such a warm, kind person and someone you genuinely feel good about supporting. You can tell he loves what he does. He takes the time to get to know his clients (and even their dog, in our case!), which makes the experience feel personal and memorable. After cleaning the items, Joseph personally called me to let me know they were ready, which I really appreciated. When I picked them up, I was blown away, everything was cleaned to absolute perfection. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your most meaningful and delicate garments, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend!

    Inconsistent pricing. Brought two pairs of jeans in- both needed 1/2 inch taken off the bottom…read more First pair I dropped off 2/9 and was charged $32 for original hem. Second pair I just picked up 3/5 and was charged $48 for original hem 1/2 inch. I said I was charged $32 my first time and immediately the man jumped down my throat that they never charge $32. Well, overall both prices are steep given... also here is proof you charged me $32 and then $48 However they did fit me in, and finished the work timely. I was just a bit upset about the change in price given my first purchase.
