I have never been this disappointed with alterations. I was referred to Christine's Tailoring Alterations by a friend and trusted Christine with an important gown I was wearing to the Emmy Awards. I paid $400, and the result was honestly unbelievable. Christine never measured me. Not once. Everything was guesstimated. The corset was originally too small and the skirt was enormous, so Christine took excess fabric from the skirt to expand the back of the corset. Somehow, after alterations, a dress that started out too small came back MASSIVE and literally falling off my body. Christine pinned it smaller and had me return the day before the Emmys. I tried it on again and it was STILL too big, even with the corset tightened completely. I specifically asked Christine to replace a zipper I didn't trust. She assured me it was fine. It wasn't. It slid down all night, and my husband eventually had to knot the corset string around it just to keep my dress closed. I also repeatedly asked for a hook and eye. It still hadn't been added at my second fitting, and when Christine finally added one, it snapped in half at the Emmys. The hardware felt incredibly cheap. The dress was also still too long despite my asking for it to be shortened. So after paying $400 for "professional alterations," I spent the Emmy Awards pulling my dress up because it was too large, picking it up off the floor because it was too long, and having my husband rig the zipper because it wouldn't stay up. I should have been enjoying and celebrating one of the biggest nights of my career. Instead, I spent the entire night stressed, uncomfortable, embarrassed, and worrying about whether my dress was going to stay on my body. Never again. read more

I have been a loyal customer for YEARS, and I am done. This business is a disaster waiting to happen if you actually care about getting your items back. Every single time I drop something off, it's the same chaotic scene: customers standing around while staff frantically dig through piles trying to figure out where anything is. It's not an occasional hiccup -- it's the standard experience here. You can see it in real time: nobody knows where anything is. This time, it finally caught up with me. My daughter's school uniform pants are GONE. Not "we're still looking" -- gone. I was told they may have handed them off to a random stranger by mistake. Let that sink in: they lost my child's clothing and think it's acceptable to shrug and say it "may" have gone home with someone else. This isn't about the money. It's about the fact that I now cannot trust this business with anything, after years of giving them the benefit of the doubt. If you value your belongings even a little, take them somewhere else. I wish I had. read more

Christine is a pro. She seems a little scattered but her work is exceptional. she is like a fabric surgeon.

Amazing tailoring! They almost lost my top, but they found it eventually. Great work and great price!

Absolutely love this place! Christine always helps me tailor my suits and they come out amazing.

Great affordable tailoring! I appreciated the time and care and the quick turnaround.

Christine's has become my go-to for all tailoring needs because Christine is talented, reliable and does excellent work. She turns around the projects in a reasonable amount of time, and her prices are always fair. Add in that Christine is also as friendly as can be, and you've got a local business you can always feel comfortable supporting. read more

I have been going here for alterations for 8 or 9 years now. It is always a pleasant experience for me. I live about 20 minutes away, but it's worth the drive. I don't trust any one else with my clothes. They get the job done well, exactly like how you instructed, and they get it done when they promised they will, so it's worth the price. Christine is just so warm and sweet. She's like an aunt to me. That's also how she treats me - like family. Christine, if you're reading this, gamsahamnida, noona! Sarang haeyo! - Charlie read more

Christine has altered 3 different things for me. She has done something with custom aprons and dresses. Most recently she hemmed a dress for a wedding. The quality of the work has been spot on. She charged $50 to hem the dress, I was ok with that. read more

My go to place for alterations. I recently had a family emergency and ended up having only one day to get an evening dress for a wedding altered, and it was ready the next day! Thank you for helping me. read more

Great work. Great service. Handle the last-minute rush job with no questions asked, it was great.

Any time I'm in need of tailoring at a fair price, I immediately go to Christine's. Tucked away in a strip mall just off of Ventura Blvd, she is my go-to when it comes to alterations. The shop isn't anything fancy, but has this humble charm about it. You're welcomed by orchids and potted plants near a small seating area by the front door, but your eye will immediately be drawn to the volume of clothes that pour out all over the shop. Love the few celeb pics she has on the wall. Christine is so sweet, but she takes her business seriously. She and her team work incredible hard to provide quick, quality service - no matter the time frame. I've received a complicated dress alteration within 4 days, and I've also had pants I had perfectly tailored that I didn't need for a few weeks. Whether you need your clothes fixed up immediately or have the time to wait, you're going to get a job well done from Christine and her team. read more

Came here to get my bridesmaid dress altered for a wedding. They did an excellent job and the dress looked perfect!

Going here for years. Excellent service, quality work. Extremely happy with everything they've altered for me.

Great service...quick and really talented team. I will come back and refer others! So glad I found you!

My husband and I needed a tailor for his suits and my wedding dress. My dress not only needed to be hemmed, but also taken in. My husband needed his suits completely tailored (he recently lost quite a bit of weight and was not thrilled that his custom suits no longer fit). My wedding dress experience: I got my dress a very nice boutique on the West Side that was recommending tailors charging A LOT of money. I'm talking double and almost triple what Christine charged me. I spent some time looking into tailors in the valley, since we live on this side of the hill, and it was quite overwhelming. Christine's Yelp had a few wedding dresses pictured and a lot of great reviews, so I went to see her. The women in the shop were so detail oriented and kind. Christine made sure that I felt taken care of while she was pinning my dress. She asked a good amount of questions to help understand what I wanted. I knew I was in good hands. She even made sure to go a little shorter than I had advised because she knew I would be walking around a lot in the dress. She advised around when it would be ready and a month later, I was able to try my dress and it fit LIKE A DREAM. It was perfection and I am grateful for her work. My husband's suit experience: My husband had two suits made for him at Indochino about a year prior. It was one of those places that makes a three piece suit based on your exact measurements. The only problem is that he decided to get slim for our wedding and that meant those "custom suits" were no longer fitting him... Since I had felt so great about my experience with Christine, I recommended that we also take his suits to her for tailoring. He was skeptical, but we took the two suits in for pinning. Christine worked without any guidance. It was like she read my husband's mind. He kept looking at himself with the pinned garments and I could see how excited he was for the finished suits. She was mindful of his body type and made sure it would look sharp. I was thrilled. When we picked up his finished suits, he was over the moon. He loves his suits and the green one looked amazing on our wedding day. Christine and her team are so talented and mindful of their work. We are glad we stumbled on her and her tailoring services. My husband is collecting a pile of items that will need her work soon. THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRISTINE!! You helped make us look soooo good for our wedding in Italy. read more

They lost a suit that I had given for alterations. This is a pretty big deal. They just said that they couldn't find it. With the language barrier, I was not sure that they were aware of the gravity of this mistake. I was never offered compensation. read more

very good quality alteration. very clean and professional. i will go back for future repairs.

Charged me $40 to alter my dress, then gave it back to me untouched people stepped on my dress all night and in the pictures my dress is dragged and u can't even see my heels ! I won't be returning here and i don't recommend you go either! How embarrassing for me ! read more

Christine's Tailoring Alterations - Unaltered dress! Very embarrassing - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Prices are way too expensive but her work is great, very friendly staff. Also no parking problem.

Thank you to Christine and staff for always hemming my pants. Professional results and a quick turnaround. Even turned away projects knowing they couldn't complete the job. Love the honesty and authenticity! read more

Christine's Tailoring is a reliable spot I've been going to for years! She is super nice, friendly, and you can tell she and her staff work very hard without sacrificing quality. I recently brought in six pairs of pants that I needed adjusted in the waist area. She had them ready within a few days and I was able to reintroduce clothes back into my wardrobe. Was a great value for my money rather than buying new. Bring in some old clothes and see if she can give them new life in your closet! read more

Christine helped alter my bridesmaid dress in a timely manner (two weeks). It was a bit more complicated of an alteration with three layers of fabric to work with and she did such a great job. I will be coming back for any of my tailoring needs. read more

There was a point in time where I went to Christine religiously. I swore by her to l anyone who needed alterations. 3 years ago I brought in costume I needed alterations on, as well as gloves made for the costume. I went in multiple weeks in advance of the day I needed it by. When I went back to get it (two days before I was leaving town) she couldn't find it. After a while she figured out it had gone home with one of her seamstress. No biggie. I'll come back tomorrow. When I did she handed me a half finished product but was still charging me full price. After that experience I was adamant I'd never go to her again. Here I am apparently a clown. Over a week ago I brought her an outfit and told her I needed it a week later. $165 to shorten sleeves on top, shorthorn the length of a jacket and bring in the seams on the side of the top. I pick it up take it home and try it on and the sleeves were never hemmed! I had to take it back where I was asked if I had originally asked for that to be done. It was fixed without charge which I appreciate but Ive learned my lesson. It's sad because she is nice but I won't be back. read more

I have come here on three separate occasions for various items, and unfortunately I have been disappointed every time. The hemming is always too short, which is really odd considering how thorough they are with the measurement fittings. I brought a one-of-a-kind, silk lined skirt to be taken in. However, when I got it back it was so small, that it would barely zip up and the proportions were completely off... and it's highly unlikely that I gained any weight during that 5 day period from which we had a fitting to when I got the skirt back. None of the items I've brought in are wearable, which really sucks because they were all very expensive, rare pieces. I'm giving three stars because I really like Christine as a person and the turn around time is decent. She has great ideas and techniques. Unfortunately, I haven't had a great experience with any of the items I've had altered here. read more

Horrible, horrible customer service. I came in & wasn't greeted & as another person came in whom she knew came in after me, she helped them before even looking my way. I walked out as soon as I saw that I would not be treated with such respect. read more

Christine's Tailoring does a great job of providing excellent work and fine individual customer service. I've been here with several plus suits, sports jackets, pants, shirts and even a dress (not mine) and everything has come out exactly as desired. Christine does all the measurements herself and she gives great attention to detail. For me, the outcome has always been perfect. It's tough to find a good tailor, especially one that cares about individuals needs. It's like finding a personal mechanic, cleaner or hair stylist. These are people you need to like and trust. Christine's Tailoring gives me that kind of confidence, and when I come in with a garment that must fit perfectly, I know Christine is going to make it happen. Four thumbs up for Christine's Tailoring Alterations. read more

Where do I even begin? My husband and I have been coming here for about a year now. I have the small waist big hips problem so I need all of my pants/jeans tailored in the waist. Christine has it down every time and gets it done quickly. She also assisted in completely transforming my wedding dress! I brought it in and told her what I wanted done, and she saw my vision and absolutely delivered. When I brought it in, it had this huge piece of ugly lace across the neckline and I wanted it taken off, which I knew was a risky and difficult job but it came out perfect. If I could trust her with my wedding dress I can trust her with any of my clothing! read more

I needed a solid tailor for my work suits and this place was recommended via a FB group. I am very happy with the job they did and the price. This place can get busy at any time of day but it's worth the wait. The woman in charge here is very courteous and I can understand why they have great reviews. This is my new go-to for alterations! read more

Been going to this place for a few years. My most recent experience, however, has prompted me to look for another seamstress. In a nutshell: 1. Make sure you triple check how much she charges your credit card. I was charged $30 over what's on my yellow slip and now it's an ordeal trying to get that $30 back. 2. Triple check your clothes that she hands back to you. She did not include my romper in my pick up and with $7/gallon gas prices, I am livid that I have to go back to this place for one thing that was supposed to have been in my picked up stash. 3. If you have a regular full time daytime job, good luck trying to figure out when you can squeeze in a drop off and a pick up in this place that is only open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. I guess with how much Christine charges for a simple hem job, it makes sense that only inherently wealthy people who do not work can patronize this establishment. read more

Christine is an absolutely impeccable tailor, and a sweet person on top of it. I brought her a suit I needed to wear for a themed event. The suit had a very specific "look" and I'm glad I found it, but it was COMPLETELY Ill-fitting. I had serious doubts as to whether any tailor could make it work. But it turns out Christine was totally up to the task. She made it for me PERFECTLY, while still maintaining the suit's particular style. I highly HIGHLY recommend her. read more

I fell in love with a super inexpensive dress that I found online. I ordered it expecting the worse and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the dress when it arrived. While I did order it custom to my measurements, it still needed to be altered before my big day. I was just going to take it to my usual tailor when a good friend recommended that I take it to someone who specializes in wedding dresses. After a few minutes of research on Yelp, I decided to try out Christine's Tailoring. I called to make an appointment and was greeted pleasantly and told that no appointment was necessary. I walked in, tried the dress on while Christine pinned and made all the necessary marks. Maybe less than 2 weeks later, I was called to come try on the dress for a final fitting. While it wasn't even finished, the difference was amazing. I knew I was in love with the dress but with the perfect fit, I fell even more in love. A week later, the dress was finished. Seems like they have a super short turnaround for wedding dresses. During all of this, my fiance dropped off his new tux with Christina too. She fit his tux perfectly. I will have to say that both of us looked amazing on our big day. A huge thank you to Christine for all her hard work. read more

Great, friendly customer service, and quality work done in a timely manner. I will be back.

Got my wedding dress altered and absolutely loved it! It was taken up on the bottom and she brought the back down. It looked great! Would highly recommend Christine!! read more

Ever since meeting Christine and having her alter my gown for a Gala in 2019, I only come here now. She is the sweetest woman. Every time I go in, I always feel like I'm having the most personalized experience, just as when one goes to their routine hairstylist--we can pick up right where we left off. Since I usually only get alterations for special occasion dresses, I tend to factor that in to the overall cost of the dress as well. Her prices have raised, but her work is worth it, and she's always willing to work something out with you. Writing this review actually made me realize I forgot to pick up an item. Thanks, Yelp. Thanks, Christine! read more
