I came to Avo with 6 weeks til my wedding and they were exceptional. I emailed him to set up time and he called me immediately. Upon arrival he took care of every detail. He saw more than I can see as he was wants perfection. On my second fitting my fiancé brought in a pair of pants to get hemmed and he took them in as well and set up pick up for the same day. Talk about exceptional service for something as important as my Big Day!!! Thank you for everything and I can't wait to wear my dress in Italy in a couple weeks! read more

Too expensive! I've brought 3 dresses here and although they do a great job, I always leave feeling like I spent a little too much. Recently, they altered a bridesmaid dress for me and I was shocked they charged me $150 total -- that's exactly how much the dress itself cost! read more

I've been going to classical & modern tailoring for over 10 years and they are the best! I take all my clothes - dresses, jeans, tops, bathing suits, etc and they always do an incredible job. Everyone one there is so personable and friendly and the prices are great for how amazing of a job they do. I 10/10 recommend! read more

They are the best,they have been my tailoring for 5 since 2012.. I am very particular about fit and tailoring and after had experiences with few of them in town .... I am not ever changing Avo... read more

They literally saved me from having to back out of an event. I had ordered a dress online that wasn't quite the right fit. Time was tight and I had just days to figure something out. I took my dress here and they did amazing and quick work. I am forever grateful. They truly cared and wanted to help me get to the event in my dress! read more

This place is amazing!!! I had a sample wedding dress that was a size 10 that they took down to size 0! Excellent detailed work and nice price too. :) Nice people and atmosphere. I will come here for more tailoring needs in the future. Highly recommend!! read more

The Armenian working at this little shop can alter anything at a really cheap price! However, if you are looking for fashion advice and have really expensive clothing you need altered for that really special occasion, this is probably not the best place. For your everyday needs (especially if you live in the area) though, I am sure it will do! He gets the work done fast and cheap and does a fairly good job. Plus, you don't need appointments. You can stop by for those last minute emergencies. read more

Classical & Modern Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

This shop is absolutely amazing, and nothing that I could say here would do it justice!!! I've been dreading switching tailors for years because I am so meticulous and particular about how much effort and attention to detail goes into my alterations, particularly with more expensive and unique items. Avo is truly amazing. As a first time customer with a very difficult evening gown to take in and shorten, Avo immediately made me realize I couldn't be in better hands. He took the time to go over what he recommended I needed, and wasn't pushy at all. I soon agreed and told him to do whatever he thought The dress needed. I just tried on and picked up the gown, and was blown away. I called him an artist, and believe that he is in every sense of the word. It is very obvious that he is a good man, and truly cares about both his craft and his customers. I'm never going anywhere else. read more

As my wedding day approached I searched for a tailor I could trust with my gown. I of course was nervous, but as soon as I met Avo I was at ease. He knew exactly what to do. He worked on my dress up until the day before I left for my wedding. My gown fit me perfectly! His detailed work and attention to detail were very evident from the first fitting. It was great working with Avo and his team!!! I even had him take my rehearsal dress from a size 14 to an 8 which also came out amazing! read more

Only place that would do alternations in one day before New Years. And I called many. They're reliable, fast and affordable!

Avo has been so accommodating to alter my BHDLN wedding dress. I chose him because he was most responsive to my inquiries and reasonably priced. He took the time to listen to my needs and was a creative problem solver to make sure my two piece wedding dress fit properly. I couldn't be happier with his service and highly recommend him! Thanks Avo! :) read more

I went to Classical & Modern Tailoring to have my wedding dress tailored, as they are a suggested tailor from BHLDN Beverly Hills. I was a little nervous because my dress was very simple, and needed to be fitted perfectly. It ended up fitting like a glove and looked beautiful. Avo is very sweet and friendly, and even took a look at my dress two days before my wedding when my mom came into town and thought it wasn't quite right (and Avo was even able to convince her it was fine). Plus, there is a little parking lot in the back which is so handy for stopping by for a quick visit. Thank you Avo! read more

Is the perfect place for me, everything is ready quickly and efficiently. Thanks Avo! You are the best!!!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I look forward to my visits here as Avo and his staff are so incredibly kind. No job too small and incredibly creative as well in problem solving. I've brought in 2 Moncler down jackets that were a bit tight across the chest and Abo found a way to let them out without showing any alterations at all. read more

Great tailor! Great customer service! I have a dress that I love, however it needed to be shortened, I took The dress in on a Thursday and told them I needed it done by Saturday. Originally they told me they needed a little bit more time but I explained to them how important it was to have it by Saturday, and they said that they will try their best. I went to pick up my dress on Saturday and it was ready and waiting for me; steamed and everything!!!! I understand people can get busy but I appreciate so much them working overtime to get my dress done. It looked perfect on me! You cant find a better tailor in Beverly Hills!!! read more

My mom and I have been coming here for years for the tailor's efficiency and exceptional work. You won't find another tailor in the city who does a better job for a better price. Avo is experienced, kind, and somewhat of a magician! I've brought numerous ball gowns, suits, dresses, etc and he's tailored them all to perfection. The entire staff here is wonderful. I highly recommend it! read more

Let me start by saying, I have NEVER reviewed a place, but the treatment and business practice of this tailor incited me to do so. I have used this tailor a handful of occasions for various dresses that I needed altered. The first time I brought in a dress, there were no issues and it was tailored perfectly. The second time, I brought in two dresses - one of which I needed for a wedding in New York in a few weeks. They gave me a date 2 weeks later to go and pick up my items, and when I arrived they were extremely confused and couldn't find my dresses. They finally found them, and they had not been touched since I dropped them off. This was extremely frustrating as I was traveling later that week, but they had it done for me the next day. They did not offer a discount or anything, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt - everyone makes mistakes. This past week I went to pick up another dress that I had left their a week prior. I was supposed to pick it up on Monday, but wasn't able to get in until Tuesday. When I arrived, they once again could not find my dress. After looking, they found it sitting on the table, not touched once again. They then claimed that I was wrong and there was no ticket - I provided my receipt and they spoke to one other. They offered to have it done within the hour, but we all have schedules and this was just inconsiderate of people's time. The next day they offered me a $10 discount, which is laughable considering the treatment the day before and the fact that they once again did not have my item ready, basically had no intention of doing it until I came in, and then tried to argue with me. In my opinion, the customer is always right - especially when your business relies on customer satisfaction. I will never be going here again. read more

Someone referenced that the man who owns the shop is the best tailor in the world, and he may very well be, but he wasn't the one working on my dress. I went there with a brand new dress with a lot of beading for my wedding party. He told me it would be no problem and I believed him since he came recommended from the shop where I bought my dress and his yelp reviews were higher than the other recommended tailors. I needed the dress shortened from the waist (so as not to lose the design at the hem) and also taken in. He asked for $180. I was desperate since I needed it in four days and it was for a special occasion, so I agreed. He told me to come back Friday for a fitting so they can reassess the length and see how much to take in the sides. I arrived there and the dress was deconstructed and sloppily sewn together. The front was longer than the back the seam was in the front of my thigh instead of the side (which they tried to argue with me about) and it was an overall mess. He had some woman working on the sewing and he only did the measurements. He told me to wait 5 minutes and they could fix the uneven length and I could try it on again. Two hours later I was still waiting without any explanation or follow up from anyone. I tried the dress again, he took more measurements and I left there distraught thinking I would need a backup dress. I came back Saturday to pick up the dress and to my surprise it was in one piece and fit well but the waist sash wasn't exactly straight. I didn't have time to argue the point and I had no time for the fix so I paid the $180 and left without the original soft, velvet hanger I had brought the dress in with in order to protect the delicate material. I mention the hanger because the fact that my hanger was taken and replaced with a cheap plastic one was annoying, to say the least, especially since his prices are exorbitant and the customer service was lacking. Also, as a follow up, the seamstress didn't secure the beading when she cut open the dress at the waist and since the day I picked it up, a mass amount of beads and sequins have fallen off the dress. Either you can work with beading or your can't, but don't charge a load, do a half ass job and lie. He and the seamstress got the job sloppily done and the process was difficult. I expected much more for the price and I won't be returning. read more

Avo is amazing. Came to him to help get my measurements for custom suits - he took his time with me and gave me great advice and explained in detail why some things would work and why some wouldn't. I decided to come back to him to tailor 2 old suits that were in great shape, but completely didn't fit right anymore after losing weight. Was going to throw away or donate, but brought to Avo to see if he could do anything. He worked his magic and now they fit like they were tailor made. He's now my go-to guy for tailoring!! read more

reasonable prices! they asked me when I would like to pick my dress up, and got the job done right in time for my event. great customer service! I highly recommend read more

Best tailor in town! Extremely great work from such kind and warm people. Everything is done right the first time. My go to tailor!

I brought my wedding dress for alterations based on a friend's recommendation. Avo is extremely detail oriented and takes his time to make sure all the details are set before starting alterations. Things were looking good at my trial fitting and I'm sure they'll be perfect by the final pickup :) Avo is also the preferred tailor for Bhldn, so you'll see a million Bhldn bags when you visit! read more

Wish I would have found Classical & Modern Tailors when I first moved to the neighborhood several years ago. First rate service and they really take the time to make sure the alterations are perfect. Had three suits altered and a tuxedo...saved me a ton instead of buying new pants. Turnaround time was quick and their prices are terrific. My new go to spot. read more

Avo is an absolute sweetheart and jem! He made my wedding dress fit PERFECTLY . i was so comfortable all night and he eased my worries during the fitting process. My dress was beaded and tule and he did an amazing job with the intricate design. He is also just so sweet and you want to give him a big hug!!! read more

I go to Avo for everything- he is great at reworking my vintage dresses, my ethnic dresses (with a lot of delicate hand sewn decorations), my black tie dresses and my jeans. I have had him take a size 12 dress down to a size 4 for me. They are always accommodating with my time schedule and very professional. I have been going to Avo and his team for years and would not trust anyone else with my clothes! read more
