I was extremely pleased with the quality of work performed on an evening gown for special occasion. The work was completed in less than a week, with a matching scarf from the extra material!

I highly recommend this establishment for alterations and dressmaking. Sincerely mary grant

I called Laurel and she had me come in the next day. She made alterations to two dresses within a week. The third dress I brought her was a bit of a project that I needed back in 5-6 weeks. She helped me envision a new life for the dress. She cut the sleeves, lowered the neckline, made gloves from the sleeves, etc. It turned out so stunning. She is a dream to work with and worth every penny.

The exact opposite experience. Friendly, professional, and happy to take the work from the moment I walked in - no drama, no flat refusal, just "let's see what you've got." The rush pricing was reasonable, the turnaround was exactly what they promised, and the workmanship was excellent on both pieces. The shirt collar sits properly for the first time in years, and the pants hem is clean. A few minutes outside Palm Springs and worth every mile. This is what a real tailoring business looks like. I'll be back for anything I need going forward.

Straightforward one- or two-day rush job. Before I could explain what I needed, I was asked when I needed it by. I said within a day or two. The answer was a flat "no" - matter-of-fact, no counter-offer, no explanation. The shop was empty. The whole interaction lasted maybe 30 seconds. I would have gladly paid a significant rush premium, but there was no opening to even ask. Photos on their Yelp page show rush pricing posted on Post-it notes inside the shop, so the service appears to exist - it just wasn't on offer that day, for reasons I wasn't told. Reading other reviews, this seems to be a pattern rather than a one-off bad day, so don't bother with this business if you need alterations completed in a rush. Heads up: this isn't a standalone storefront, just a room inside a hair salon. I found another tailor in Cathedral City who took care of both items without issue - see my other review. Two stars instead of one only because the parking was easy.

She had to make two minor alterations on a simple $90 bridesmaid type satin dress. Raised the hem and tightened one arm strap and it was $75. I took another event dress that needed more complicated work (being it was several sizes too big) to someone else who had a home based operation with just social media marketing, because after this I was worried how much it would cost. It wound up being only $10 and 2 days of turn around. Both professionals did a great job on my dresses, so bottom line is I had no qualms about the quality here, it's just expensive. After seeing how another person works, I do wish Lani had spent a little more time assessing the fit though, because I think she could have identified another area to be addressed, but didn't realize until the day I had to wear the dress. I'd say, make sure you really take your time when looking at your tailoring needs while in Lani's shop, because I'm pretty sure she has the ability but is just quite busy.
