After having many pants and tops ruined from bad alterations, was very hesitant to try Anna. Took one item of clothing in, that I wasn't that attached to, to test her out. I needed the zipper replaced on a dress. She was very knowledgeable about what would work and what wouldn't. I left the dress still skeptical as to what the result would be. When I picked up the dress a week later, it was perfect. the zipper used to catch in one spot and now it works perfectly. Since then I have taken bags full of clothes for her to alter and they all turn out great. I trust her with everything. read more

BF has been taking his clothes to have it hemmed and altered at Anna's for quite some time now. One day, I decided to give this place a chance and took my favorite LBD to have it fixed. The dress was beyond repairable or so I thought until a week later and got my dress back. I was impressed - the dress was almost as good as new. Now, I only go to Anna's for all alterations. read more

Anna's Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Brea, California

Always a bridesmaid and never a bride. Just kidding. I don't plan on being a bride for a while, if at all. :P My friend, the bride, brought her wedding dress here to have it altered, so I decided to bring my bridesmaid dress here as well. Anna was very personable and friendly. She made me feel comfortable about the entire process. The bridal shop ordered my dress about 2 sizes too small. The dress was so tight around the waist that it began to ripple the fabric. (So not cute). Anna was able to fix this problem by working her magic. My dress not only fit me to a tee, but was comfortable as well. Anna also did extensive work on my friend's wedding dress for a reasonable price. I'm glad I brought my dress to Anna's because the alterations she made helped me look my best for my friend's wedding. read more

Quick, efficient, and good price. Took some pants into get hemmed. They did it in two days and did a great job.$5 per pair. I recommend them highly read more

Decent jean hem for less than seven bucks?! Is this real life?! Yes! (Insert fist pump here.) I am always warmly greeted whenever I come here for a jean hem. They have worked on a grip of jeans for me. And, they have not let me down yet. I was even brave enough to bring my Rock & Republic denim in and they worked their magic on those too. The BF says his Rock jeans are perfect too. read more

To celebrate my new job I bought two nice suits in TJ Maxx which were Ralph Lauren & Calvin Klein. Both Pants came with raw ends so i quickly needed to find someone who would be able to hem my pants prior to starting my job. Anna provided an excellent service, she was really helpful and I was delighted with how great the stiching looked, i'm giving it 5 stars because the price and the results were A+++++ Thanks Anna!! read more

She made my prom dress perfect! It was a difficult task; another alterations place asked for $20 to just add another button on to the back of my dress to hopefully make it fit me better and she told me to put my hair down so that the button won't be visible (which I thought was a horrible idea). But ana took the time to take off every jewel and sequin sewed on, cut the sides, and redid all of it for $25. My favorite place! read more

Love this place. Never disappointed. Highly recommend. I have only used them for hemming and taking in the waist.

Do not take your stuff here. She's cheap because you get what you pay for. The work looks like a kid did it. I had her replace a zipper for me on a skirt and it was uneven and her work was horrible. I also had requested she replace buttons on a vintage coat and she sewed the buttons through the lining when she had access to secure the buttons without going through it. She gives you your clothes back in a wrinkled pile and then tells you the total. She only accepts cash and checks....So unprofessional. read more

I don't normally post reviews but frankly I felt it necessary. I had some work done here and instead of calling me to let me know I did t provide enough fabric. She took it upon herself to move forward and I ended up with a long stitch all the way around the middle school f my cushion cover Not okay with me read more

I've gone here a few times with multiple pants and dress alterations. Unfortunately the owner is not very friendly or polite. Update: I recently went in and this place is under new management and the customer service was superb. She was friendly and quick to make alterations at a great price. Changing from 3 stars to 5 stars. read more

Took 2 pants to get hemmed. After 1 week the hem came off on both legs. Then on the 2nd pair the same thing started to happen not to mention they cut my jeans way to short, almost unable to use it. They also took like 5 minutes to look for the jeans. I agree with a lot of the 1-star reviews. This place sucks in general. It was good a while back when it had a different owner. read more

I have taken multiple pieces to Anna's, including my wedding dress, which needed a LOT of altering. Not only did she do a great, and quick job with my wedding dress, but she also understood exactly what I wanted. Her shop is always buzzing with customers and now I see why. She does a wonderful job and I'll never take my clothes anywhere else! read more

Anna's Alterations - Anna did an AMAZING job on my wedding dress. It was two sizes too big and she altered it perfectly. Thank you so much! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Brea, California

I heard good things about this place so I took a skirt and pair of pants here to get hemmed. The pants weren't ready when I was told to pick them up and the skirt was done horribly. When I asked her if there was anything else that can be done cause it didn't look right she started yelling at me telling me she "told me she was gonna do it by hand" I proceeded to tell her I'm not sure what that means but can we try something else and she said NO and yelling at me. When I tried to communicate with her to figure a compromise, she told me to get out of her store and never come back. I never once yelled or spoke to her disrespectfully and never have had this problem before. I was so upset! So I took it to "Make it fit" In Brea and they did a GREAT job! read more

I took 6 pairs of pants in to be shortened I was promised that they would be ready on Wednesday. After I got off work I drove straight over there to pick up my pants only to find a hand written note on the door saying that they are closed with I phone number. I called the phone number several times however know one answered and that had not set up their voice mail. I arrived at 4:30pm the sign on the door says they are open till 7pm I absolutely had to this pants on Wednesday these were my maternity pants that I needed back for the Thanksgiving holiday! So I had to go buy a new pair of pants and pay extra from them to be shortened the same day! I left a note through the door stating how upset I was and that they needed to call me back. They never called me back!! So I go to pick up my pants and I told her how upset I was. That you can't just decide to close early and not notify your customers so they can come pick up their items. I asked her what was she going to do to make this situation better and she said nothing. So I then told her I will be reporting her "business" to the Better Business Bureau, the city and all of my friends and family Facebook, ect. You would think Anna the owner would have wanted to make the situation better and not get bad reviews about her so called "business"!! But apparently not! read more

Worst alterations experience ever. Very rude, and totally messed up a dress I needed for a wedding. DO NOT GO HERE! There are a lot of better options in the Brea area. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! So I went here due to the high reviews on yelp to get my jeans hemmed. The lady was really nice and I had a good experience. I decided to go back since my first experience was good but what a mistake! I wanted to shorten my sleeves on my kimono cardigan and she asked me if I wanted to narrow the opening since the higher up you go the wider the sleeves will get. I said I'm not sure but I think I do not need to narrow the opening. I left and came back an hr later after debating over the sleeves and asked for her opinion if I should narrow the opening or just leave it. She said it's up to me to decide and I said I don't know if it will be ok and wanted her opinion. She said it will be more money since it is more work and I said I don't mind paying more it's not about money. She then told me why don't I just take it and do it myself at home! Um obviously I can't so that's why I brought it in. She kept thinking it was about money when I was just asking for her opinion. I got so upset I took my cardigan back and left and will NEVER come back! This lady needs to learn customer service and how to treat their customers! Very Rude and not professional at all! read more

Anna has the best price for pant hemming in North OC. The service is excellent too. Anna closed for a while but now they are back in business and I heard she is doing better. I missed the place when it was closed. I'm glad she and her husband are doing well and very happy that they are open for business again. $5 to hem pants is such a good deal. Love this place. read more

My absolute favorite alterations place of all time! I'm 5'1" and need to get all of my clothes altered (hem pants and dresses, take in sides of blazers, etc.). The first time I went I took an Guess by Marciano maxi dress for a trial run and they hemmed it to perfection! Amazing pricing and decent turn around time if you don't need it right away (although I'm sure they'd accommodate rush orders as any alterations place does). Their work is like magic and they are really nice. Keep in minds it's not a cleaners! read more

I used to love this place and go there for all/any alteration/hem but it's been closed for 2 months now - there a sign on the door saying something about a "family emergency" and lists a hospital phone number. I had to go to Art's Tailoring over by Subway/Coffee Bean across from Brea Mall. He did good work. Sending well wishes to the sweet Korean couple who used to be Anna's Alterations. read more

Absolutely the worst service ever. She is capable of doing quick sewing jobs to grab $5 but there is no quality of work what so ever. If you ask her to do something more detailed so not to ruin expensive cloths, willing to pay extra, she rudely tells you go elsewhere we only do it this way! Unreal! My mom was a seamstress and I can never imagine saying something like that to a client. read more

I have been in the apparel business for more than 25 year. They are very charming nice little place. But the quality of their work is very poor, and lacks the standards of true tailoring. Like many of us we make an investment in our clothing, and expect a standard level of quality to come from a tailor which they are not. I would not recommend Anna's alteration. They are not very honest and charge for work they have not done properly. read more

Only used their services for hemming pants, scrub bottoms, and a maxi dress. There is a small, curtained changing area if you need her to pin exactly where you want the clothing to end. Good prices, decent turnaround. Haven't tried anything more complicated like a suit yet. read more

I love her. Her work is excellent and precise. She is upfront about everything and will tell you what to expect. She is also extremely fast too. She has altered two bridesmaids dresses, one took it from a size 16 to a 10 and is now doing my wedding dress. Love her! Also reasonable. Only $20 for a bridesmaids dress hem. read more

I had a dress shortened, and it looks great. However, I was told that a single layer hem is $18, but then I charged $22 without an explanation. :/ read more

Have been using Anna for 3 years now. She always has my clothes ready and on time. I have recommended her to several of my friends especially when another tailor down the street wanted 40.00 to hem a dress! Gaffaw! I bought the dress for less than that! Very friendly husband and wife team. Does alterations for uniforms as well. Store is actually on Alder Street, not on Brea Blvd. Screwy address numbering by the city. read more

The best. They are so friendly. Awesome prices, look for the 3 dollar jean hems sign outside. And the hem jobs are very good, expecially for jeans. I take everything there. Friendly, good prices. If you want your stuff done before the day she tells you, it might not always happen. That's because they are busy, they do the job right. Awesome place read more

This is a great place to get your alterations done. Anna is friendly and fast. We had a few pairs pants shortened and a fully lined silk dress shortened from the shoulder straps. They were done nicely. Oh, the rates are very reasonable too. I think it's cash only. If you can go on a weekday, Sat. AM is a busy day. read more

I have used Anna for the past two years or so with no complaints. If she can't alter something complicated like my Robert Graham jacket, then she will say so. She also does beautiful machined embroidery work. The building address is strange as they are not ON Brea Blvd, but actually on Alder. Also, the woman next door to Ana's gets real pissed if you park in front of her school and will tell you to move your car. Just leave it there, she does not own the street. I park in front of the school on a regular basis. read more

Had a bridesmaid dress that needed to be taken in and shortened. I was on a tight timeline and they were able to get it done within two days. Fairly priced for the work that was done. They did a good job. read more

I have tried her twice. The first time she misplaced two dresses and could not find the paperwork . I came back to pick up the dresses and return the pants that she mistakenly took the hem out of and did not resew. The pants needed the waist taken in. Second trip, she could not find the same black pants or the additional shorts. My receipt had been destroyed in the washer . So she is not responsible. 80$ pants, goodbye! read more

Unfortunately Anna no longer owns this store. Bought a pair of pants to get taken in and the new owner seemed uninterested in the job. I asked to try them on for her and she said ok, but went back to watching TV. After I tried them on she told me taking pants in costs a lot (30 dollars) and for that money just go buy new pants. She then goes back to watching TV. I was shocked at both the price and her attitude. Will never come here again. read more

This place is so great. They do such an awesome job for extremely reasonable prices. The first time we brought clothes here, my boyfriend needed a suit tailored in less than a week. We were expecting it to be extra for having it rushed, but not at all.. no extra charge, and was very affordable. We've been bringing clothes here ever since. They are also very speedy every time I bring clothes in. I love this place! read more

The owner here is extremely arrogant and rude. She ruined my black formal dress. I could tell she was too busy watching TV instead of focusing on her work. She did an alternation on an elegant formal dress and was supposed to hem it but she hadn't even measured it and appeared as though she had just cut zig zags. The dress is totally ruined, and she was not even willing to refund my money or replace the dress. Do not EVER go here or recommend this place to your friends unless you have a hand-me-down and are willing to take the risk. read more

I really like this place very friendly and professional they make you feel like family...Thank you Anna!

took in a pair of jeans to get hemmed for $5. picked it up 2 days later. the owners are super cute and friendly, even told me they had a special machine just to sew denim. read more

she ruined my son's ringbearer suit....made the arms too short....ended up paying more when I had to take it to another alteration shop for a last minute repair...poor quality for cheap price. read more

I called this place when I was 45 minutes away still and asked her if she could do one hour alterations that I needed it for Friday night and she said she said if you bring it tonight I can have it ready for you tomorrow so I arrived at the place to have her do the alterations and she says I don't even know what to do with it and I said no it's a scarf dress it's supposed to look like that and you just need to cut it down so she had me put it on and when I put it on she was looking at it like she was lost and she says well what am I supposed to do so I showed her how I needed her to take it up just on the very front in the very back just a little bit so she tell i7 I can pick it up tomorrow right she goes oh no I have too many dresses and I said I called you when I was 45 minutes away and you told me that you would have this dress done for me if I brought it in today don't ever go here if she doesn't sound like she knows what she's doing she's confused and if it's anything out of the norm even just threw him on a fancy dress forget it I wouldn't go read more
