Love them. Lorena is a perfectionist so your alterations will be perfect!!!! They aren't cheap but great quality work.

Brought them my son's letterman jacket to add some of his new patches. Great job and looks amazing. I also brought them a Filipino Barong Tagalog that had a tear at the shoulder. The fabric is a thin pineapple based one that is tricky to work with. This place did an amazing job and saved me the cost of a new Barong. Thank you! read more

Awesome experience I had here. They were very professional with their customer service and the work was phenomenal, then the pricing was very reasonable as well. read more

Took suit pants to be fitted at the waist and length. I'm muscular. Bought an athletic fit suit. It didn't need much tailoring. Terrible fitting, it looked like I had a wedge/murph. She then messed it up more. Had to throw it away. Got the same brand and fit fitted somewhere else without issues. Rude, overpriced. read more

I got my alterations done here for my bridesmaid dress for a wedding I was in, and was completely happy with my experience. From the phone call I made with questions prior to going, to arriving and being helped right away, to the price, to the timeline... everything was A+! I would absolutely come back when I need other alterations done. read more

Brazilia Alteration - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I had a few hoodies that I wanted to get converted to zip-up hoodies. I must have called at least 8 other alteration places who said they couldn't do it, before I found this place who said they could do it no problem. They showed me a few different zipper combinations that would go well with the hoodies, made my choices and dropped them off. When I came to pick them up, I was amazed at how perfectly they were done. Honestly looks like they came from the factory as zip-up hoodies, stitching was perfect, and all for a reasonable price. Will definitely be back for all my alteration needs. read more

My first couple visits were great. I stopped by to get some pants hemmed and the person with long hair that was helping me was very attentive and friendly. They hemmed my pants and it looked great so I took them home. Overall a great experience. However, I noticed that the pants were a bit shorter than I liked so I decided to bring them back a couple days later. When I came back it was an older lady, who may have been the owner. Immediately I noticed she was very unfriendly and rude, and just seemed like I was inconveniencing her by being there. I told her I wanted to bring the hem back down a bit to lengthen the pants and again she seemed unhappy about this and told me the price and that it would be cash only. I completely understood that I had to pay again, but just the way she said it was rude. Luckily when I came back to pick up the items it was a different person and service was normal. This would have been my go-to place for my family and I to get alterations, but will be going to other places for better service. Thank you to the first person that helped us out though, we really appreciated your help. read more

I've been a long time customer (over 5 years) and I've finally had enough of the rude old lady (probably the owner). Anytime I've asked a question or just my presence alone seems to irritate her. Her employee on the other hand is very kind, patient and very personable. Sorry I forgot his name but he's tall and has longer hair. It's unfortunate the owner behaves is such a bad manner. Illl be going elsewhere for my alterations. read more

After some bad experiences with tailors in the area, I was on the hunt to find someone who was good at their craft yet reliable. *Insert Brazilia Alterations* What can I say? The owner is kind and responsive, and so are her staff. Mainly, their work is very good and very affordable. This is my new go-to place for all clothing alterations! read more

When I came in I met with Eric who was honestly such a sweet and kind person. He helped me with my dress and took measurements to make sure it was all correct. After that I decided to take in another dress to get altered about a week later and that's when I met Lorena she was so rude! She wouldn't fix the dress I needed to be done and was just honestly mean the whole interaction. I'm thankful I met Eric the first time and he was able to help me with my dress. Other than that I don't think I would come here again. read more

Amazing service and great customer service and good quality work. Take great pride in their work service and dedication.

Excellent service every single time. Perfection on everything they do! Every time they do alterations, it comes back better than expected!

Fast friendly and efficient service. The owner is amazing and takes care of her customers in a very professional manner. Prices are reasonable. read more

Had a few small holes in a cosplay of mine, relatively easy fixes but what troubled me was how the zippers could've easily been messed up with how the seams popped. It slipped my mind to explain how the zippers are attached to the suit before I had left so I shuddered in anticipation with what could go wrong, but my doubts were quickly washed away upon receiving my suit back! They clearly took the time to examine how the other zippers were attached and sewn the zippers back in place accordingly, and the holes? It's as if they never tore open at all. Huge props, fair pricing, will definitely commission from them again! read more

This place messed up my $200 pants by using cheap thread and poor skills. I went to have them shortened, and she first quoted me a 3 week turnaround. When I said i needed them next day, she obliged. When I saw the pants I almost screamed! They were too short, and she didn't even bother to keep the original hem as I requested and confirmed TWICE during drop off. The original hem had 2 rows of high quality stitching, and this place did 1 row of Dollar Store quality thread and stitching. My son also had a pair of jeans shortened, AND THEY HAD THE IDENTICAL ONE ROW, TOO HIGH STITCHING AS MY PANTS! Everyone knows jeans and pants are stitched differently. The lady simply cut the fabric (too short), then folded them under and made a stitch line about 1 inch above the fold. So essentially, it just looks like we folded our pants/jeans under and called it a day. And she used the same thread for thick denim jeans as she did for thinner pants material. Unbelievable and unacceptable. And the kicker - she charged twice as much as my usual tailor! read more

I had 3 weeks to plan my wedding in Vegas. I purchased a gown online. During COVID I added about 7 pounds and the when the dress arrived it was too small. In a panic I called and got a appointment. I was concerned because I had almost no time to send the dress back for a different size. They were able to take out the dress some and add a sash to my dress. They dress fit like a dream on my wedding. Thank you, I would highly recommended them. read more

Very fast and professional. Lorena is a woman of few words but when she tells you "it can be done" you just trust her. I brought my wedding dress here for alterations about 2 weeks before my wedding and she got it done before scheduled. I had to let it out a bit in the back and take in the sides a bit and she made it all turn out beautifully! I felt so confident and carefree in my dress. read more

I had a last minute hemming need and they accommodated me on the same day, even though it was evident they were busy. The quality of the work was top notch, and prices are reasonable. I then brought my toddler in for suit alterations, everything from his suit jacket to the pants to the vest. The result was outstanding and was done in a timely manner. On top of that, they are super friendly. Definitely recommend! read more

I cant rate for women's alterations but I went to get a suit tailored. It was a new suit..jacket turned out OK but when it came to the pants... so nice it was a new suit the legs were super long. The women had me stand on a platform to measure / address. She never used a tapr measure and just eyeballed it. The 1st time she put pins in they were way too long.. I told her more which she questioned bit did..then again. Then again. And when they were done they still wore too long!! Note, I did wear the shoes that were to be wore with the suit as well. Hard pass again read more

I called on 10-21-23 to get a price to adjust my suit pants in the waist & hem'd. A lady with an ancient responded $80. WOW!

I took my dress to multiple places to see if they could alter the dress to make it fit. The dress was way too small and would not zip up all the way (like not even close). I know that taking a dress in is always easier, and that making a dress bigger was almost never possible. I was told that I should just return the dress because there was no way they could help me. I decided to try one more place before I gave up, and am I ever glad I decided to stop by Brazilia Alterations. She prefaced that it would be a difficult job, but doable. So I trusted her. When I picked up the dress and tried it on, I almost cried of happiness. The dress looked ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. You couldn't even tell it was tailored. I received so many compliments. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Been to a few places for alterations and keep on coming back here. Other places may be cheaper but the turnaround time is longer and the quality questionable. Lorena does a great job and is so experienced. I have worked with her to customize some of my clothing and she always gives me her honest opinion and we try to work it out so I get what I need. For example, I purchased a blazer dress which I loved but was too low cut. I brought it to Lorena to help me put a clasp on and she worked with me to put in in the perfect location so that it did not tug funny and was still undetectable. I trust my pieces here and will continue to be a loyal customer. read more

The staff was amazing super sweet! I just left like the price of my bridesmaids dress to be altered was a little much $230 I had to get it done so I had no option. They keep telling me I shouldn't make the dress smaller because I had to be able to sit and dance... the dress ended up still big and keep slipping down and I had to keep pulling it up... read more
