I went to get pants altered but there was a sign behind the door stating that they would be closed for a while...no date mentioning when they would open again! read more

Coco has been a great find! She has made several alterations for me. I had surgery last year and lost 30lbs in a little over a month. She was able to get my pants in quickly and make the alterations so I wasn't wearing a rope for a belt or sweat pants. She even made the alterations that when I started gaining the weight back she could let them back out. For those who say she is rude. You obviously haven't got the chance to know her. She is very good at what she does and I have been very happy with her work. read more

I have been back to have Coco do alterations on a couple pairs of pants, a dress for my daughter, and a couple of blouses. Everything came out perfectly...I have never been disappointed by the work that Coco does. read more

l don't really want to write this, for l want to keep her all to myself, but l have to say she's a real pro. l have a fashion design degree, but l don't have the time to do my own sewing and alterations. Needless to say l know first rate when l see it. At FIDM l always got 'A's on my sewing work, yes, we were graded on that too. Anyhoo. Top notch, and l love her dry wit! read more

If I can give coco ZERO stars, I would. I dropped my bridesmaid dress off to her a week before I needed it done and she said she would have it done the morning of the day I needed it. I went to pick it up that morning on my way down to Irvine (where I was staying for the wedding the NEXT day). She was taking some time looking for it, and lo and behold... it wasn't finished. She didn't even initially apologize for it, gave me some excuse that she was going to use another machine but then FORGOT about it and said she can do it in 30 minutes. 30 minutes?? I'm pretty sure it takes at least an hour to do a decent job, and I didn't have the time to wait because I had to be down in Irvine for rehearsal. Of course I got upset, and just wanted a simple, genuine apology from her and to at least offer a discount or something other than doing a quick, half-ass job. And some how she made it seem like I was at fault and she started yelling at me saying that she wouldn't alter my dress for me even if I begged plus a few other unpleasant things. wow. At that point, I knew I didn't want this woman to touch my dress anymore and found an amazing place in Irvine that said they could finish it by that night once my rehearsal was done. They did a perfect job, AND they were incredibly nice AND they were cheaper. If anyone is in the Irvine area, I would highly recommend going to Tony's. http://www.yelp.com/biz/tonys-custom-tailoring-and-menswear-irvine#query:tony%27s%20alteration It would definitely be worth the 40 minute drive from the South Bay than to have Coco touch your clothes. TRUST ME. read more

Called this place to get an estimation of my bridesmaid dress. I told her the wedding is a little over a month away. She answers with an attitude "I'm going on vacation" so I reply "so does this mean you can't do it then?" and say said "YES"! Ooookay whatever lady, you could have at least been nice about it. Just for that I wish there were neg. stars. read more

Had a couple of pairs of jeans hemmed here. Always quick and convenient. Very reasonable prices as well.

Simply the best and reliable! Coco can fix just about anything and with good timing, if you have an emergency she can pull it off for sure.

OMG. How many alteration places have I tried before I finally found Coco.... Being a small boned Asian myself, there is nothing I can wear without alteration. (well, except for Jeans) It is critical to know the alteration place that I can rely on. Coco's work is perfect. I like her friendly personality too. read more

Great experience! First time going. Coco is a lovely soft spoken woman. I could not even tell when I picked up my clothes the area that was repaired. She has excellent prices and a great turn around time. I highly recommend her! read more

Took my wedding dress to be altered by Coco over a month ago. She had great reviews & was recommended by the bridal boutique I purchased my dress from. Called her in advance & she had me come in. She looked at my dress & knew exactly what to do, pinning & repinning the bustle until she was satisfied, as was I. I had her take in the bodice slightly, add cups, hem & bustle the dress. The train was 6' long & she somehow managed to bustle it so well! It looked beautiful. Though she is a little on the pricier side, I am so pleased with the work she did on my dress that I would highly recommend her to anyone who is concerned to leave their wedding dress! Not to mention, she had it done in about a week!! That's service! Just a note, you should call since she's the only one that works there, it's her shop, so you want to make sure she's there! Also, that it's cash only. read more

I bought a vintage dress from a store on Melrose and it was pretty close to zipping all the way, I bought it anyways knowing I had to get it altered. It was a tiered dress with a lace overlay and a ribbon around the middle. I took it to the place I take my dry cleaning, but they said they won't alter it. So I came here after Yelping it and was not disappointed. She took out the zipper and made it fit! It looks like its never been touched. And she did it for only $20. I will come here again for sure! read more

I took my wedding dress to Coco. It was a sample dress so was about 2 sizes too big. She made it fit like a glove after the first fitting. I mean literally it was a glove because it was a fit and flare and hugged all my curves to the point where I was nervous about gaining even two pounds before my wedding. Took two stars off because she takes oddly timed lunch breaks (I came once during her normal hours and she was gone), and I didn't love the way she did my bustle. I would have preferred a more simple bustle but she did a four-point one which always looked asymmetric no matter how I tinkered with it. However she is competitively priced and obviously knows what she is doing. read more

She does great work at a reasonable price! She always knows the fabric and best way to make an alteration work.

I should have done a review sooner. She did my wedding dresses( i had two) and some of the bridesmaid dresses. She is good, quick, straight to the point, and cheap. I pretty much go to her for everything now. I discovered her last year somehow on the internet through a review. Thank god!!!! Because I am Asian and short, so have to alter everything. I am always satisfy with her work. She exerts much confidence if you ever meet her. read more

Took my suit there to have it altered for a wedding. Came back on the agreed date, the night before the wedding and she had forgotten about it. Had to rush it over to another place because she didn't even seem to care. Bad business practice. Wouldnt trust her again. read more

Coco is excellent- her alterations are perfection, and if they aren't perfect the first time, she tries her best and fixes it until it fits you perfectly. I've taken dresses and pants- including ones that were too small, and she was able to alter them without any obvious discrepancies. Also, the quality of her revisions is way better than the price she asks for. She can come off in the beginning as a little short/succinct/maybe even a bit curt- but she quickly warms up to you when you revisit her. read more

I found about Coco here on yelp, and she's great! I took a little black dress I wanted to get altered, and she had it done in just two days! She charged me $18 which isn't too bad for a dress. I also took in a dress just to adjust the straps, and a skirt to alter the wait line and it was $28 all together. Very reasonable prices. She's very nice and gives great service. She only does alterations so you know that she's an expert at tailoring. Def go to Coco for your alteration needs. read more

My Pronovias wedding dress came out perfect. We had to take it in 2 sizes and lengthen it. Amazing work and coco was so accommodating. Thank you so much!! read more

I love Coco! She is amazing at what she does. I litterly brought in 3 vintage dresses from the 50's and she reworked them to fit a modern 5-6 size. I don't know how she did it but they fit like a glove now and they are back to being worn after sitting in someones storage for years. I'm so happy with my new dresses! read more

The place is a whole in the wall shop that I'll never trust again. Not only was it double the price I was expecting to pay, it was also poor quality. The seam fell apart after 2 washes. While the customer service was decent, I'm definitely not going back. read more

I was so impressed at how Coco was able to do exactly what I wanted. I asked her to make a Full bedspread into two Twins. I can't even tell her seams from the original. I am never going to use another alternation shop again. And her price was extremely fair. Thank you Coco! The bedspreads are perfect! read more

Coco was very friendly and efficient. I had a pair of black trousers taken in in the waist since I lost some weight and she did a good job. It only took a couple of days to get them back, and even when my boyfriend didn't have enough cash to pay for them when he picked them up, she let him take them and we came back later with the remaining balance. Wow, she trusted us! I would happily go back for my next alteration. Don't forget to bring cash! read more

Horrible service... She opens and closes when she wants- so Disregard her business hours days and times. I came here twice and each time Coco doesn't make eye contact, rushes me, tosses the ticket, etc. I agree w the other review that she seriously hates her job and lacks serious personality, let alone professionalism. Forget trying to be friendly or small talk. I gave her 2 tries since the price was reasonable and based on the Yelp stairs. You get for what you pay for- The seams are crooked and she does not offer to fix them for you. read more

Coco is the best. I've never had to use a professional seamstress before since I had my mom to do all of that for me. This is my wedding dress and I can't just trust anyone. However, my mom passed away a few months ago so I had no choice. I decided to use yelp to find someone to do it. I took a leap of faith and found Coco's Alteration due to the great review she had. Let's me just say that she is amazing. I called to make sure she was available since I had to do it during my lunch break. My dress was 2 sizes too big, which is my fault I ordered it online and measured myself incorrectly. She pin me to my size, gave me options regarding what type of bustle would look good with my dress. I felt like a bride once she pin me up and showed how much dress would look like after she's done with it. She told me my dress will be ready in a month time. I called ahead of time to make sure she is available and went today to pick up my dress. I tried it and she made a last minute adjustment before handling it to me. My dress fits like a glove and I look and feel amazing in it. She is very nice and not pushy at all and makes you feel good in your dress. She makes amazing suggestions based on how you look in your dress and what she can fix to make you look more amazing. I totally recommend her. Thank you so much Coco. Note: This is a small business and its just her so I suggest you call ahead of time in case she may close shop early to pick up her kid. Also, she only accept cash, no debit cards. read more

Coco is INCREDIBLE! I brought my wedding outfit here to be tailored and she did an incredible job. She was patient, precise and affordable. I went back a few times until she felt it was right. The top and bottom were SO flared originally and much too large for me. She added ribbing to make the top more fitted to my body and made the pants more of a bell bottom instead of such a major flare. She made it EXACTLY what I had been looking for. She is incredible! Definitely see her for any and all tailoring! read more

Coco's Alterations - 2nd fitting by magician Coco. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Coco is friendly and accommodating. I brought a bunch of items that needed tailoring and she took care of them right away. I even needed a pair of pants done the same day and she took care of it. She was exceptionally trusting when I forgot my checkbook at home and said to take the clothes and come back. She was pretty busy, but paid attention to everyone who came through the door. I would recommend this alterations shop to anyone looking for a no-frills, affordable solution. read more

She is the best in the South Bay for sure. She does great work and is very friendly.

Coco is amazing and has a sharp eye for everything I need altered. I trust that she won't make my newly purchased denim look "hemmed" and will even save the bottoms of the denim requires it. I've brought her a few dresses, including my wedding reception dress that she hemmed perfectly to my body. Excellent work. read more

This was my first visit to Coco. She altered my daughters prom dress and did a magnificent job! She did a quick turn around and the price could not be beat. I definitely will return to see Coco. read more

Coco is fabulous. She is our go-to for all special occasions for the entire family. She's talented and asks questions to ensure the result is perfect. read more

I've brought all sorts of alteration needs to Coco and she has never disappointed. I've ripped many slim fitting dress pants due to my massive glutes (I do squats) and she has fixed all of them. She is truly gifted at her craft. I don't really have massive glutes btw but they've grown a lot because I work out. And don't be fooled by her dry sense of humor she is pretty damn funny once you get to know her. Her honesty and straight-forward-no-frills attitude is what makes me a life long customer. read more

I'm a big believer in acknowledging excellent service and I've been meaning to write about the service I received from Coco. I was recommended to her by a bridal shop in West LA and was thrilled to find that her shop was in my neighborhood. Talk about lucky!! I had spent a small fortune (well worth it) on my wedding gown and wanted someone to give it the attention it (and I) deserved - I only planned to wear it once and it had to be perfect! The problem was my chest - let's just say I'm blessed there and she suggested some adjustments. She clearly knows what she's doing and I trusted her opinion. The end result was a beautiful gown enhanced and altered just for me! I can't thank her enough for her insight and detail. Really, if anyone out there spends a lot of money (or even a little) on a wedding dress, I suggest you see Coco for the finishing touches. read more

I took my Gold skirt in AFTER going to a horrible place. I told her about the experience and she said sometimes that happens, but they should fix it. So then I told her the day I needed the skirt and ON that day I forgot to go she called me the next day!! Just to go get it! SHE did a GREAT JOB!!! She is a bit DRY in her personality but over all very professional. :) read more

We bought our son a suit for a wedding in MI. The suit needed to be altered and he took it to Coco's. Coco told him the suit would be ready on the 18th. I went on the 23rd to pick it up and the store was closed. There was a handwritten note on the door saying they were closed for the week and we were leaving for MI the next day! We had to borrow a suit from a neighbor, who luckily had one that kind of fit. Upon returning from our trip, I went to Coco's to get the suit. Luckily my anger about the situation had disappeared and I was able to go in calmly to talk to Coco. I, first of all, asked why they had closed shop. If it had been due to illness or death, I would have understood. But Coco was mean and defensive right off the bat. She said she was on vacation and she deserved it, which I'm sure she does. I asked why she hadn't let us know the shop would be closed. Her refrain to every question or comment I had was, "not my problem". I couldn't believe how rude and inconsiderate she was. This woman might be a good tailor but is a horrible business owner. Please do not go to her. There are other tailors out there who are kind people. read more

Coco's is great! I asked her to alter a duvet cover for me and she did a great job. Even after I realized I gave her the wrong measurements, she made corrections at no charge. She was fast and very accommodating. She came highly recommended and I can see why. read more

I brought in my prom dress which I ordered a size larger than what I actually wear. I brought the dress to her to A) fit it to my body size B) close up the cleavage area while yet keeping the back low. She also added a hook to the train so that I can attach and detach the train whenever I need to. She had all of this done in less than a week! She even stayed open 30 minutes more so that I was able to come in and pick up and try on my dress. All of the alterations were perfect!! I am now prom ready :-) read more

Coco makes my clothes fit like a glove. She is hands down the best tailor I have ever had. I will ONLY take my dresses to Coco. I do not know how she does it, but every time she makes my dresses tailor fit for my curvy shape. Thanks Coco!! read more

I took a few pants into Coco's a few months back. Prices were reasonable and she did a great job. Also helped that Coco was very personable and nice. I will continue to go back. read more

So happy to have found Coco's...I am short so almost everything I buy needs to be altered...Coco's did an amazing job
