I reached out to Armeene to make alterations on my wedding dress. She was responsive through text and sent me the information to meet at her home. I was very comfortable and had an overall pleasant experience. Armeene did a wonderful job and had it ready at the time we agreed. Because the big day was for January 2025 in Pasadena, the fires had us postpone our date to the Fall. Fast forward to 3 days before the wedding, I noticed my dress was loose on the side due to a little weight loss. I reached out to Armeene and she asked if I could stop by that night. I picked up my dress the day before the wedding and the fit was perfect. My fiance also reached out to Armeene last minute with only a month before the wedding due to my recommendation. She purchased her dress through David's Bridal and had her dress altered in-house. Ever since she brought the dress home, she was not 100% happy with the fit and considering buying another ($!). But after her experience with Armeene, she felt so much better about her dress! Armeene mentioned that the tailoring from David's wasn't done right. Honestly, the fit can make or break how a dress feels and looks. You can tell Armeene loves what she does and it shows with her care and attention to detail. My wife and I are so appreciative of how our dresses turned out and especially touched by how supportive and open Armeene was through the whole process. We felt so comfortable and beautiful on our big day. Thank you, Armeene!

Armeene tailored my wedding dress and she was PHENOMENAL. Before going to Armeene, my mother and I checked out another tailor, but during the consultation felt as if we were being pushed to make alterations we didn't want, not being heard for what we did want, and just another customer. When we came to Armeene, however, we were treated SO well--she welcomed us in and offered us water and snacks, getting to know us before the consultation started. When it did begin, she first let me explain what I wanted the dress to look like in the end and asked me clarifying questions to help her make it happen. She gave suggestions rather than telling me what I "have to do" to the dress. Throughout the alterations process, Armeene met with us THREE times, always with the utmost friendliness and attentiveness. She went above and beyond--adding both a bustle and a wrist strap for no additional fee (and putting two buttons for the bustle so that the dress wasn't asymmetrical), using a scrap of the dress to see if it could be washed instead of dry cleaned (without us asking her to), and REMAKING the dress straps because they were not perfectly white and could be more comfortable (it was a bridal shop sample dress before I received it). The dress was PERFECT after her alterations. Fit me like a glove, stayed in place, was comfortable, and flared/fit exactly where I wanted it to. Not only that, but Armeene's services were very affordable, ESPECIALLY for their quality. During our final meeting, Armeene gave both me and my mother custom gifts as we left--her service and kindness were unbelievable!! I would send ANY bride I know to Armeene!!!!

Before and after

I went to Armeene for my wedding dress and she was amazing! So kind, thoughtful, and helpful in sharing her advice/expertise. She completely transformed how my dress looked on me. Pricing was very fair with a quick turn around time. There was also a last minute fix I needed and she was so accommodating and got me in the next day. I'm so appreciative of her!

Armeene was amazing from the start. I created a yelp project and she responded to me with in a hour. I had a short deadline for my dress to be altered and she made it happen. She took me ON A SUNDAY for my fitting and to discuss alterations. Her quote was very affordable for what I needed given the short deadline. When I returned to pick up my dress, it was perfect. The sewing quality was top notch. I have nothing but praise for my experience with Armeene. She will be my tailor from now on. Thank you Armeene

Armeene's likes to meet 2 weeks before your wedding to get started on alterations, she and I had agreed to meet in mid September and my wedding is early October 2025. Unfortunately I missed the appointment due to family medical emergency. I tried to apologize and see if any other day or time worked and she wrote me off saying to find another tailor. Mind you this 2 weeks before my wedding. I tried calling her to see if we could work anything out. But she didn't take my call and texted me saying don't except a call back from me there's nothing to work out. I begged once more through text apologizing repeatedly but she never responded afterwards. I understand I missed the appointment and acknowledged it's on me but I literally broke out crying because it's been overwhelming wedding planning and caring for my grandmother. She showed me no sympathy and my husband found me crying in the bathroom and helped find another tailor. I can't speak on her ability to tailor because I never got to see it. But I can speak on her lack of kindness and understanding. All this to warn you to be sure not to miss your appointment. This review isn't to scare off clients away because I don't wish her any ill will, I know she's going to continue to get business which is fine. Its just to give you a heads up to be mindful to remember your appointment. Best of luck on your wedding planning I hope you get a better experience! Much love to spread on my part no hate just my honest experience.

Arminee Another phenomenal job by Arminee. I wore this suit on a Carnival Cruise on formal night. I got and unending amount of compliments by everyone that walked by me male and female! Thank you Arminee for your great tailoring and outstanding customer service. I had forgotten I also had this Yelp account and decided to use this one just for this compliment.

Which means they have no control over how they wash delicate clothing and the items take a lot longer than expected to be ready for pickup. My brand new shirt is embellished with gold monogram flower hardware around the neckline which I specially said please be very careful and gentle with. It came back and guess what???Careless. The hardware has a string that totally fell off and they somehow have punched a small hole on the bottom of the shirt. Like okay my shirt is totally damaged now. If they couldn't have done the job without damaging my shirt, he could've just denied me as a customer. I would've preferred that over a damaged shirt. Come on, get it together. Never again.

Jill and Maria are true miracle workers…read more I had two wedding dresses brought in for emergency alterations (one was my reception dress, suffering from a wrong size and poorly done work from a prior seamstress; the other was a dress for a courthouse ceremony which needed hemming and the bust taking in slightly). The entire experience was so refreshing in the midst of stress of whether my reception dress would fit and look halfway decent. Jill and Maria were confident from the start and immediately got to troubleshooting my reception dress. Within minutes, Maria diagnosed the issues and assured me that it would all be fixed. What a RELIEF! Granted, I still had to get into the best shape of my life in the month or so that I had before the wedding, but knowing that I was in Maria and Jill's expert hands meant I didn't have to scramble for a new dress. Both dresses were completed to my satisfaction in a timely fashion. Jill was always responsive to my requests and calls and so kind. Maria is a wonder and I am so thankful for her skilled artistry. The prices were beyond reasonable-in fact, the cost of alterations for my reception dress was less than the botched job the previous seamstress had done. You truly get what you pay for and I will be a forever client of Perfect Fit Alterations as long as they are in business.

I've had this leather jacket for almost ten years, but in the past two three years, it's gotten a bit too tight. To be fair, I got it during the era of the shrunken leather jacket, iykyk. I brought it to Puac. They told me that they don't have the fabric for it, and gave me direction to this fabric store downtown. I thought, well, I'm in this for the plot, and went where they told me. This let me know that Puac knows exactly what to look for. The fabric store was great, and when I told them who sent me, they gave me a 15% discount off the leather. When I brought the leather in, there was a week and a half turn around. They measured it out, and gave me an idea of how it would fit. I would say that you do pay for the quality of their work. It cost me about a hundred dollars for the tailoring alone, which I thought was absolutely worth it. The leather was $68. This is a jacket that I will continue to wear for a very very long time. I know that this tailor shop can do generally alterations, but I would trust them with more complex alterations and trickier fabrics to work with.

No one answered but I drove there anyways since the store hours indicated it was open. Street parking was available and it wasn't that hard to find a spot. Inside the store, there was a changing room available for customers to change in. Afterwards you would step out to have alterations pinned in front of a big mirror. When I shared concerns and what my desired outcome was for the dresses, she was able to quickly make suggestions. She was a seasoned tailor because the end results were impressive. Afterwards she gave me a very reasonable quote so I happily filled out some contact info and left my dresses with her. There was an agreed upon pick up date but I forgot to write it down. But that wasn't an issue, I went in when I remembered and my dresses were ready and waiting. I am happy with the service and alterations. The only note I would leave for new customers is to forget about calling. I tried on different occasions and no one picked up and the answering machine was full. It's better to check shop hours and just show up! Also her door is sometimes locked (for safety) so don't be afraid to knock loudly if the lights are on.

I continue to go back because she does good work and the location is convenient. This past week, I had enough! I took my daughter's prom dress to her to have it cut.

Keep in mind, I've paid $120-$180 in the past for the same services and one of the dresses was very similar to this one. $400 is insane and more than ti paid for the dress!!! I ended up finding a place in DTLA that charged me $80 and they also did a good job. Jenny refused to lower the price and seemed to not care she was losing a loyal customer.

Here is why: Our home was damaged in the Eaton Fire. Our clothes were smoke damaged and had to be professionally cleaned. Our remediation company recommended Concierge Cleaners. In hindsight, I suspect they got a kickback "Shane," (as he calls himself, is apparently the owner of Concierge Cleaners) picked up the hundreds of items to be cleaned. We were unable to live in our house for months, so the transfer of clothes was chaotic. After numerous requests, "Shane" finally gave an estimate which was far less than the amount ($2,533) that they ultimately billed. Among the clothes Concierge took were several expensive coats and suits. We obviously expected them to by dry cleaned. Instead, Concierge threw them in the wash with the underwear and t-shirts. Literally, they were put in a washing machine which ruined the fine wool, then put in a dryer which shrank them. Then they were tightly folded and wrapped with the laundry. The suits and coats were obviously ruined. When we informed "Shane" what happened we assumed he would act professionally and offer to compensate for the damage. When mistakes happen people with integrity take responsibility. But integrity is not "Shane's" strong suit. First he denied ever having the suits and coats. Then he claimed they could be fixed by dry cleaning them. That did not work since the fabric was already ruined and the suits shrunk two sizes. I told "Shane" we would be satisfied if Concierge paid just a fraction of the cost of replacing the suits. We have a lot going on trying to make our house habitable after the fire and don't have time to mess with an incompetent and dishonest dry cleaner. Unfortunately, Shane stopped responding and is now unreachable. So now we have to haul this clown into small claims court to get him to pay for the damage he caused. I have lived in the Pasadena area a long time and know there are good and reputable dry cleaners. Concierge is not one of them. If you want someone who does not know that fine wool suits have to be dry cleaned, lies about what happened to your clothes, and refuses to compensate you when he ruins your best clothes, then you will love "Shane" and Concierge Cleaners.
