    Just wanted to mention that when you bring your alterations and especially tailored items to Gume, you need to make sure that you don't overwhelm her with too much work. She is essentially a one woman show and she does have other sewers/seamstresses who help her with the workload but these ladies have varying levels of skill and the most complicated of repairs or tailoring needs to go to Gume and that's it. Shorting pant legs or doing a slight tuck in the waist is something most of these sewers CAN do and will do... but if you need to change every seam on your blazer... you better see Gume.

    The second attempt.

    We went to them to have a new jacket and a new pair of pants altered. They made a complete mess of the jacket, so we took it back for a second try. The second time it was better but still not very good. When I put on the pants they were almost up to my ankles. We went to an event looking like we had purchased clothes at a second hand store. The person who does the sewing seems to be very competent but the person who marks them is not. We will never go to them again and we strongly recommend that you do not go to them for the tailoring of men's clothing.

    Really appreciate the job which Gume did on the gown for my son's wedding. I had asked people on the NextDoor App who they recommended for a difficult alteration job, after some local tailors told me that they couldn't do the alterations on my gown, because it was hand beaded and too difficult. Someone recommended Gume. I took my dress in, and she worked very hard to do a beautiful job. It took a couple of fittings, but she kept her appointments on schedule, and worked on it until it was absolutely perfect. I'm really grateful that I didn't have to take it to LA, to get someone skilled enough to do the job. I really appreciate her hard work.

    Very nice people to work with. Honest about when tailoring will be done. They did an excellent job on my nurse grad/pinning outfit.

    Perfect job hemming my pants and quick turnaround. Fair price too. I just wish they were closer to me.

    If you want your dress lost, neckline crooked, and lining longer than the skirt, this place is a must-do!

    I called at 3:00 on December 23rd and asked this ridiculous question: Can you please hem a new pair of pants by tomorrow?

    If I could give this business zero stars, I would. I'm appalled at the way I've been treated as a…read morepaying customer for more than a year. I brought 2 dresses in recently to have the elastic replaced in the sleeves. When I picked the items up, and after paying more than $100 (certainly not true to their "value" name) for 2 simple alterations and a blouse, I realized one of the dresses hadn't been fixed at all. The sleeves were left exactly as I brought them in. The other dress looked like a child had sewn the elastic and basically ruined the dress. And still I paid $107. What's worse is that when I first brought the items back to show them the problem, the owner John wasn't there. So I was instructed to call back in the morning. When I did, rather than apologizing for the confusion--especially since they couldn't even find record of my alteration at all--John proceeded to tell me there is nothing they can do and argue whether there was any issue at all. The whole situation is unacceptable. I will absolutely not be going back here and warn anyone from going here. Your clothes will be ruined and you'll be treated like garbage. Buyer beware!
