    A very reliable tailor near Berkeley, and the only one I'll be going to until I move!…read more I got my dresses hemmed and it was done perfectly. The stitching was on point! It looked as if that's exactly how the dress came in. At the appointment, the owner takes the time to understand how it's supposed look, and how you want it to fit. After the appointment, it was very easy to communicate with the owner. He responded promptly and was transparent. I had to schedule a last minute hemming request and it was done on time! If you're in a pickle, just call and see if he can do it. He will not schedule an appointment if he knows he cannot get it done on time, which I appreciate for being direct. I'll definitely come back but this time without any last minute requests!

    Gabriel is truly the best there is. I've taken countless items to Gabriel from traditional vintage…read morePalestinian thobes, evening dresses, pants, etc and he always approaches each item with care & attention to detail. He's very kind, understanding, and is a master of the craft. Below is a recent before and after of a vintage thobe I thrifted that needed some love. It was originally way too large for me and I wanted to convert to short sleeves & lose the 70s shoulder poof without removing any of the handmade cross stitch embroidery. The after picture speaks for itself. The thobe fits perfect with all the right details I wanted Thank you as always for the excellent work!

    My new dress to ring in the NY needed to be taken up a few notches…read more HK promised me the work would be complete, I arrived on 12/30/10, on my way out of town, two hours later than what was on the slip and guess what? My dress was still hanging on the wall. The lady looked at me and said, "Oh, you needed it today?" "Yes," I said tersely. SILENCE. No apology, nothing. I was so disgusted, I grabbed my dress and hopped in my car. Before I left, she had the audacity to ask me for the pickup slip. I told her to go find it yourself. I usually prepay for services, good thing I didn't this time. Always a firm believer in a silver lining: I rang in the NY with something more climate appropriate and it was tres chic.

    We needed alterations for an upcoming event and turned to the internet to find a local alterations…read moreplace. The closest place was on McArthur. We dropped off my pants and my partners sportscoat and returned to pick the clothes up yesterday. I opened the Suit bag and the clothes appeared OK. But when I got home and took the clothes out we discovered the tailoring was HORRIBLE. I have tailored clothes for many years and I have NEVER had such poor craftsmanship. The pants are virtually ruined and partners sportscoat is terrible. The garments weren't even pressed after alteration. Their prices are high but I don't mind paying for quality service. This was anything but.... I am terribly disappointed and now I have to run out and buy something else for the event. We will NEVER return to this place and I caution anyone else considering this place to THINK TWICE.

    I can't say enough amazing things about Ms. Louise! I was referred to her through my cousin, who…read morewas getting married in Europe back in December, and I was a bridesmaid. When I got my dress, it was entirely too small and I was in full panic mode. Ms. Louise was upfront about what she could and couldn't do, which I really appreciated. She ended up opening the dress and adding fabric to the side panels so it fit my hips comfortably--and somehow made it even more beautiful than before! She did all of this within about a month while also working on my cousin's (the bride's) dress. On top of that, she altered a second dress for my reception at the last minute and had it ready in less than a week. I was able to pick everything up just in time before my flight the day after Christmas. Truly a lifesaver! Ms. Louise is the best--so talented, professional, and reliable. I'm beyond grateful and can't thank her enough! Highly recommend!

    Louise is fantastic!! I purchased my wedding dress a few sizes larger because it was the last in…read morestock. She was able to match my proportion and height wonderfully! Like most brides, I lost weight due to stress throughout all the fittings. She graciously resized the dress each time, even adding a band to help tighten it just in case! I also requested the sleeves be layered to be a certain length, and she did it! She was patient during the entire process and very knowledgeable, which made everything easier. She was ready and willing to answer countless questions. The dress was comfortable and so well fitting to my body all day! I absolutely loved it! Additionally, she was able to make a pocket square out of my dress for my husband to wear! Couldn't recommend her enough!!
