She altered my wedding dress in 2019 and we still use her for other dresses! Amazing craftsmanship! I highly recommend her

Violet saved me from last minute shopping for a new dress the week of an event. She quickly made time for me to go over to give her my dress and allow her to measure, and did a wonderful job bringing it in and making necessary modifications without compromising the design. She is clear with communication and offers amazing prices. As long as I live in the area, I will be going to Violet! read more

This review comes a bit late but it's well deserved. My wedding was back in 2009 and I had ordered 2 bridesmaid dresses for my young female cousins. One dress was a KIDS size 8 for my 8 year old cousin. The other was an ADULT size 4 dress for my 13 year old cousin. The company messed up the order and sent BOTH dresses in kids sizes and it was too close for my wedding to order 2 new dresses!!! The wedding store I purchased the dresses from told us to take it to Violet because if there was anyone who could fix the situation, it would be her. The magic that Violet worked on the two dresses was nothing short of a miracle!!! She altered both dresses in a manner to fit the KIDS size 4 on my 8 year old cousin, and the KIDS size 8 on my 13 year old cousin!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!! I highly recommend Violet and recently sent another customer to her. Violet jan - wishing you strong and healthy hands and eyes so you can continue your wonderful work. Lots of people need your high quality service!!! I know I thanked you back then, but thank you once again for saving my bridesmaid dresses and calming the nerves of a stressed out bride!! read more

Words cannot possibly describe my gratitude for the exceptional workmanship that Violet did on my dress that I plan on wearing to my cousins wedding. I bought the dress because I felt pretty in it but it was too long in the front but I wanted to keep some length in the back so it could drag. The material had a thin metal in the base to make the dress stiff around the edges. Violet used her magic hands and perfectly altered my dress, taking out and reapplying the metal and adding a hook to the back so the extra cloth could be brought up and be lifted when I wanted to dance. To say the least, I feel quite beautiful in the dress and look forward to wearing it, dancing in it and watching my lovely cousins wed the man of her dreams. read more

Violet is the best! She whipped my wild and unruly wedding dress into shape, and was wonderful to work with. Totally recommend her services!

I had my very delicate vintage lace wedding dress altered by Violet. She has to take in the sleeves and resew the beads on, take off about 4 inches off the entire bottom including train and added a bustle. All of that she did in 12 days and for only $300 dollars. My maid of honor last minute decided to alter her and flower girls dress 4 days before the wedding and had it done 2 days before the wedding. Go to Violet, she does this as a living, but she loves what she does!!! You can definitely see the love put into her work. Thank you Violet! read more

Violet altered my mother of the bride dress perfectly in good time! She shortened the length. She's very nice to work with and responds promptly by text. read more

Violet is a pro! This was my first visit with her. She was able to make my dress fit as if i lost 5 pounds in one day. My dress was tight in some areas and loose in others, and she tailored it to my body in a simple but elegant way. She was affordable, quick, an expert, and attentive to my concerns. I will go to her from now on. Highly recommend. read more

This lady works really hard and does a great job, I dropped off my dress for strap adjustment, though she was very busy she took my dress, I had it back within 24hr neatly steamed and on hanger, straps so well sewed in!!! Very glad because I needed the dress for photoshoot. I highly recommend because job well done, timely and accommodating! read more

If I could rate 0 stars I would. Please go somewhere else, you will get much better service. Violet is so busy, she makes you feel as if you are a problem if it is not a simple alteration. Also, she acts as if she doesn't want to take you on as a client. She lost my phone number when doing my alteration, although she assured me she would call me, and in the end, my dress was altered way too short on the straps and in another area still loose. I had to take it in to another shop to get it properly altered in time to wear my dress to an event. I highly suggest you go somewhere else, she is rude, will brush you off and does a very poor job. read more

Violet is a sweetheart.. she's just great at what she does... She never says no no matter how difficult of a job it is. Her prices are extremely reasonable. I've been going here for years I don't know why it took me so long to write a yelp review.. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Alterations by Violet. I needed a pair of pants altered ASAP. I called in advance and was told to bring my pants right in. My pants were done in less than an hour. Violet did an amazing job, my pants look great and the price was very reasonable. This place is a true gem, it was very kind of Violet to accommodate me so quickly. I am definitely coming here for all my alteration needs. read more

Honestly, I had a horrible experience here. I walk in with my dress and greet her, she doesn't even say hi and asks me to try on my dress with a look of annoyance on her face. Then, after trying on my dress she laughs and mocks and questions why i chose this dress. Why I bought the dress should not be your concern lady! Your job is to alter a dress to a clients needs. She then started giving me advice on why I shouldn't wear the dress and that it will cost me $300 to fix it! I wanted to run out of there soo fast. Her attitude was horrible. She acted like she was doing me a favor. It is a business and you are making money, stop acting like you doing it for free! I will NEVER go back here again! Change your attitude with your customers or just find a different profession if you are unhappy. You lost a great potential customer! read more

This review is long overdue. I have been going to Violet for all my alterations. She is by far very experienced and knowledgeable of altering clothes. She is beyond reasonable with her prices. Actually, she undercharges. Don't tell her I told you. She charges by how long it takes her to alter the clothes unlike others they charge by the item. I remember how fast she responded when I pleaded her to alter my wedding gown 16 years ago. I'll never forget how she saved me. I had my gown made by another person. It was made correctly, but it was too plain and I panicked. I called her 1 week before my wedding and begged her to make it shine. She responded back quickly and came to my rescue. She added crystals and straps to my gown. Wow. She made it so beautiful and so quick. I highly recommend her! read more

I'm so pleased with The work violet did on my bridesmaid dress. It was super last min alteration and she was able to execute it in 48hrs. I needed the dress taken out a bit and since there wasn't enough fabric on the sides she took it from the bottom and made the criss cross situation in the back. Impeccable work. read more

I don't know how to say this without sounding like I am telling a lie but this place is AMAZING. I drove around a lot trying to find someone to repair my hat and ended up going with this business because they finally took on the difficult repair. When I went to pick up my hat a hour later the woman whom ended up repairing said it's FREE because it was easy and only took five minutes. I guess felt like she wanted to do her act of kindness and charity for the day. I don't know why but she is a VERY KIND and GOOD PERSON. I even offered to buy her a coffee or tea but she refused. PLEASE TRY THIS PLACE OUT BECAUSE OF THEIR QUALITY WORK. read more

Violet is such a kind person, and she did a FANTASTIC job on my wedding dress! I had to get it altered within two days, since I was getting married quickly so my dad could watch it happen. He was on hospice and was given only days to weeks to live. When she heard my story, she squeezed me in and made it happen even though I just called her out of the blue. Her heart is what made it all the more a beautiful experience, because she kept talking to me about how she hoped my dad would recover miraculously after the wedding...and her prayers must have helped, because he also is doing fantastically! I think of her handing me my meticulously altered dress while sending me away with warm wishes for my dad. Love her!! Would go to her again in a heartbeat!! read more

I love this place. She is so quick and reliable when it comes to the same day pick up. She is always on point and very precise with her alteration. She gets the right length, the right fit( just everything right). read more

This is my first time getting anything altered. I had two dresses, one needs shorten the hem and one needs a top part fitting. She was great to let me know when it was done and everything was simple and quick. The work is done very well and she will let you know if anything is doable. I've asked for one of my dresses to be shorten and she pointed out the dress hemline is not even (kind of high-low) and I asked to just follow the hemline. I will definitely recommend her! Also, perfect for an introvert like me! read more

This place was one of the first places I found closest to me and I was blown away by the service and helpfulness. My fiancé purchased a $2.5k wedding dress from a shop but it cost a fortune to get it altered at the place we bought it from. So we looked around and stopped by a few places. Violet was kind enough to explain to us the quality of work she does and how she does it, and even showed us examples of how she could alter the wedding dress in ways my fiancé didn't even think was possible. Hands down I think we got the best deal here, definitely lower in price for the alteration and great quality! Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for ideas for alterations for wedding dresses or just about anything in general! read more

Violet is the best tailor in town! I drive all the way from downtown LA just to get my clothes tailored by her. Highly recommend!
