Golden Thread Alterations is operated by a Korean lady and her son. The business is located in the…read morequiet area of Livermore. Parking is off the street or in their shared parking lot. Their alteration work is very good for what I needed. The price is reasonable and fair to my budget. Her son did all of the communication and measurements and helped me to make the best decisions regarding my suit (shirt, coat & pants). The final product was very clean and I received a lot of compliments during and after my daughter's wedding. I highly recommend Golden Thread Alterations to anyone who needs alteration work (for weddings, senior ball, celebrations, etc.).

We used them several years ago to alter a wedding vest and it ended up being too tight, but we…read moredidn't make a fuss. Whatever. I went back yesterday to have a dress hemmed. My mistake. 1. The front desk man/receptionist was polite, helpful, and charming. 2. There were several women, presumably seamstresses, who I smiled at who simply looked through me as if I didn't exist. 3. The price for hemming a semi full-skirted dress was $60 which is more than the dress cost. 4. When I balked at $60, one of these women spoke in a foreign language (Vietnamese?) and the man relayed to me they could do it for $50. I shook my head, smiled, and said, No, thank you. 5. The man then said that $45 was the lowest they could go. I had NO interest in bartering for the best price. I said no again, and prepared to leave. The woman, who never glanced at me once, shrugged and walked away. Her body language made it clear she couldn't care less. 6. Which is, of course, fine. They have no need of my business. After looking at their website, they obviously are high end alterations aimed at an Asian audience. Which is fine. Just be aware that if you aren't Asian and don't have a high-end job for them, you will be treated dismissively by the seamstresses. Their website claims they are a third generation business, yet only the man speaks English, supposedly. To top off my review, I would like to add that I do NOT want to be told one price, then have that price lowered twice when I am ready to walk away. Set a FAIR price and stick to it. I will either pay it or walk away, no harm, no foul. Instead, I am left feeling like I would have been a fool if I had accepted the first price they quoted. This is not a market stall in a country where bartering is the norm. I will not return to this business and I will not recommend it to friends. ‍

Happy to report that everything is perfect! She measured me before I dropped it off and you have a choice of just a regular hem ($15) or a hem in the same style as the pant (my quote = $25). I opted for the same style as the pant & love the results! Will definitely be back!

Wow! Thoroughly impressed by Jila's services. She altered 3 dresses from my bridal wardrobe:…read more 1. A flowy, ruffled colorful dress for my welcome party. She amended the waistband to be tighter and shortened the dress while maintaining the flow and comfort of the dress. 2. My after party dress had a beaded skirt and jila carefully shortened it. Fit perfectly. 3. Lastly, my Kim Kassas wedding dress!! Its ruffled mermaid tail is what made it beautiful. I plan to resell my dress and jila altered it so that if someone taller than me buys it, the stitching just needs to be snipped to get it back to the original length. It fit me like a glove. She did an amazing job and I'd highly recommend her to alter clothing for any special occasion!

They paid attention to detail, making sure the dress was at the right length and comfortable for me to walk in. I also have a dress in which the top could have different options to style when worn, and because the back was low, I was a bit concerned. But they kindly offered me options of how to style the top so that I wouldn't be concerned. Drop off and pickup was also fast and easy, straightforward. I would take another dress or recommend them to someone else. Thank you Jila Tailoring Studio!

Once the employee came out, I was not greeted and the interaction felt very unwelcoming. As I explained the alterations I needed, his responses came across as rude and dismissive. I dropped off my items on a Saturday and was told they would be ready the following Wednesday. On Tuesday, I called to check if they might possibly be ready early. Instead of simply answering the question, the employee responded by asking, "What day did I tell you?" When I replied "Wednesday," he then asked, "And what day is today?" in a very condescending tone. After asking for my ticket number, he eventually confirmed that my items were ready for pickup. Additionally, when I later went to wear my uniform, I noticed a piece was missing that had not been mentioned during pickup. Overall, the lack of professionalism and the disrespectful communication made this a disappointing experience. Because of this, I would not recommend this business to others.

I of course agreed and when I picked it up it was perfect. I don't live in the area o CCVC it's about a 20 mile drive but well worth the professional services I received. See you next time Kevin

The price seems reasonable for the effort and turnaround time. I've recommended her to my friends and my husband who have also brought their suit tailoring needs to her and found her both efficient and delightful to talk to. Her work area is a small added unit behind her home and it's also nice to say hello to her cute chickens on the way out. :) It feels like coming to see an auntie whenever I stop by.

Yet, Mei contacted me a few days later saying the job was done early and ready for pickup. I could not be happier with her work. They look amazing. In summary: 1) Mei is professional, kind and communicative 2) Mei did the work in half the time allotted 3) Mei's work looks perfect, cannot tell it was altered; it simply fits perfectly I will continue to give Mei more jobs and am grateful I now have a tailor I can trust and rely on.
