    Alla's a magical seamstress!

    Alla is amazing! I had this beautiful material that I wanted to turn into a cape. It was tricky because of the embellishments, but she knew exactly what to do! If you have clothing that you really love and want to keep, take it to Alla. She is magical!

    I ordered a dress online a week before I needed it (not a very start decision but I was desperate). When the dress finally came 3 days before my event I tried it on and it was huge on me. I went to a couple seamstresses down the hill but all told me that it wasn't enough time. I then found Alla. She was very helpful and told be that she could fix my dress in time for my event. She had a very professional atmosphere and you could tell she knew what she was doing unlike some others. She was very educated in the work that she is doing! Ten out of ten would recommend! She did amazing on my dress and in time as well! Now I'm going to her for all my work!

    Alla's Sewing is fantastic! It recently opened Fall 2014 on Big Bear Blvd. and it offers convenient parking. Alla Johnston, owner, is a master of her craft. She lends her expert skills to alterations, zippers, sport jackets as well as backpacks, fanny packs and leather goods. She is fast, accurate and friendly. I started going to Alla's Sewing three years ago when she was operating out of her home. Now, she has made my life much easier with her new location on Big Bear Blvd.

    All I needed was a simple hem to be redone because it had come out. Fast and great pricing! Easy location to find.

    Alla is a very skilled seamstress. She is very timely, usually getting items done before promised. She is a huge asset to our community.

I went on the date to pick it up and it wasn't ready. So I told her I would come back later that day to pick it up and she agreed. 30 mins before I was supposed to be there she text me and asked if I can come a few hours later. I then told her I would come back in two days because I am very very busy. She agreed. I came back September 2nd 2021 and I put on the dress and it was awful. She tightened the inside of my dress but not the outside it was all scrunched up on the lace on the outside. There were holes on the inside and the outside. I couldn't even get it to zip up anymore because it was so tight at my chest area and stomach. I had 3 inches of room before I dropped it off and I even lost 7 pounds since I had dropped it off. She was very sweet when we came in the first two times but the last time we came in to pick up the dress she was rude and unprofessional. My mom and maid of honor were in the other room talking about what was wrong with the dress and cindi pops her head out of the room that we were in and says "you know I can still hear you". I then took my dress to a different person which she then informed because that she wouldn't be able to fit it the proper way because of how messed up it was. Very rude and very unprofessional and should be put out of business with all these reviews she has. She has been in business for 10+ years and some how fucks up on every wedding dress she touches. I now have to buy a new dress for my wedding and my wedding is in 2 weeks. September 18th 2021.

    S & J Suits and Alterations My new spot to shop for suits…read moreand sportcoats. S & J brings the style to pop for any event type. Yousef's styling and selection of accessories for suits and formal wear are a mile above the rest. I've typically gone to large box stores or chain menswear shops, but I was referred here by a friend of Yousef, and it was the best recommendation I've had in a long time. Walking in, you can tell this isn't some cookie-cutter operation. Yousef has lots of displays with style cues and arrangements to help spark ideas. You're not just grabbing something off a rack and hoping for the best, you're actually putting a look together. His selection is great, including wool suits, and the tailoring is high quality and reasonably priced. If he doesn't have exactly what you need, he's willing to hunt down the pieces or make them bespoke if necessary. That kind of effort and skill is hard to find. I drive about 25 minutes from out of the area, passing up a number of shops just to get here, and it's worth it every time. Whether you're a seasoned suit wearer or the reluctant teen heading to prom, this is the spot. Yousef isn't trying to gouge you. He wants you to walk out looking sharp and feeling good about what you spent. This is one of those family-run, pride-in-the-craft kind of places that deserves the support. If you wanna look sharp, te lo recomiendo.

    I had no clue where to start for prom shopping for my son…read more A couple weeks back I left the sushi restaurant in the same shopping center and I noticed this place on the corner. I figured we would take our chances and see what he could find. I was pleasantly impressed! We walked in and was greeted right away and asked a couple questions. My son did go in knowing he wanted blue but not 100% set. The guy grabbed a certain blue jacket and my son loved it. Then I asked for a shirt and pants and we also got a bow tie. The whole process took us no more than 20 mins. He did ask my son if he would want to get anything tailored, if so he can do it right away! I was absolutely amazed! He knew my son's sizes just from looking at him, was very helpful and nice! He steamed everything so it was all ready for prom this Saturday! I would definitely recommend anyone to come in and see what he has! There is a lot to choose from. Thank you so much for taking care of us and for such a smooth experience!
