MOST RUDE AWARD GOES TO COCO Called her on the phone to ask for possible price range for shortening a few inches of my f21 summer dress. I get it that she must see the dress first but shes very rude in talking the phone, no manner, not polite. Very disappointed of COCO!!!!!! Never ever treat ur costumer in person or in the phone who is asking u nice and clueless of the price range. RUDE!!!!!!!! read more

This place is wonderful. I wanted to find a place that did alterations only, as I am VERY wary of dry cleaners/alterations joints, as I don't think they are skilled tailors, but Coco does alterations ONLY, which is exactly what I was looking for. I was extremely pleased with her work. I came in to have some slacks hemmed, and I wanted them perfect. She mentioned that they didn't look bad as they were, and I said no, they needed to be EXACT with the shoes I brought in. No problem. She saw that I wanted them just as I wanted them, and said of course. No rebuttals, just pinned them as I said, and when I picked them up they were flawless. And the price was extremely reasonable. I appreciated her professional response to my preciseness, and she did the work beautifully. I will be bringing ALL of my business to her now. read more

I had my bridal dress altered at Coco's because of all these great reviews, but she actually messed up my dress quite a bit. Luckily, it was at the bottom (the end) of my dress so it was hard for anyone to notice, but it was obvious in the wedding photos that showed the full body shots. It was disappointing and I'm just surprised at these stellar reviews... I didn't complain or point it out to her since it was too late to fix anyway, my wedding was in a week. Besides, at that point, you just gotta relax and let go. :) read more

I love Coco. I had a $6k wedding dress that needed some alterations - she did an amazing job. I was nervous to go to anyone, really, but wanted to stay somewhat local and saw her yelp reviews. I really loved her personality - she's witty, and her work is well done and affordable. She has made my wedding easy in this regard - and I feel like with alterations it could so easily go horribly wrong. The alterations at Coco's has been the only thing to go right so far with my big day! FYI - Cash or check only. Thank you Coco - you are the best! read more

Ive been coming here for years. Cannot recommend it enough! She does a great job each time with my clothes and always gets it right.

I ordered a bridesmaid dress through JCrew and the consultant advised me to get a dress that was TOO big, as in I raised my arms and the dress would fall off. I'm not a big busted girl, but I've never had a problem with tube dresses like this before. I was not too happy with the fitting. How could I possibly replicate Wedding Crashers "shout" scene with a potential wardrobe malfunction?! Anyhow I brought my dress to Coco's and she was able to do any and all alterations I asked for! She said would have it done in a week, but when I showed up she had forgotten to do the dress. She asked me to come back two days later and the dress was perfect. Pricing was about right for all the alterations she made. She's very upfront and to the point but it makes visits quick and efficient. I would not only recommend her for dress alterations but also return with future alterations as needed. Thanks, Coco, for making my wedding crasher dreams come true. Quick Tip: cash/check only read more

I got my wedding dress t a sample sale. She turned my size 12 dress into a 0 I also asked her to turn an A-line into a trumpet shape and she was able to do it for 1/2 the price that Alfred Angelo's was going to charge me. AMAZING!!! Coco is also very sweet and does great great work. It was worth the drive back and forth from LB to Redondo. read more

Coco's does an awesome job! Great service, quick turn around time, professionally done. I have never been disappointed. They are closed on Monday's. Cash/Check Only. read more

I would give Coco 100 stars if I could. 100 for Coco, you go Coco! Short Story: -Very small, modest place that has enough parking and is easy to find. -Coco always returns my calls quickly -High quality and creative work -Cash or check, but honest and prefers not to be paid until job is complete Long Story: -I came to her recommended by a close friend with my aunt's wedding dress that's over 25 years old. It was preserved and in good condition, however, my aunt was a different body type than me in every way possible. It was sentimental for me to have it be the same dress but still also reflect me. Not only did Coco alter the dress COMPLETELY to fit my body but she redesigned it to fit my style. She added black bead work, and so many details. I love seeing a creative mind work, and you can tell she knows design well. It blew my entire family away. It. Is. Outstanding. She made my fittings the past 7 months a priority, has a sweet, witty demeanor and business skills I respect. I am using her for everything in my closet and even recommending my snoody Palisades family only go to her from now on. read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend in the fashion industry and I am SO glad I went to Coco for my wedding dress alterations. Her prices were much less than another seamstress I found and more convenient than having them done at the bridal salon where I bought my dress. Coco knows what she's doing. She took in the beaded bodice of my dress, added an elastic to the bodice so I was literally strapped in and bustled the dress. She did a beautiful bustle and color coded the strings underneath so that my bridesmaids could easily bustle the dress during the cocktail hour. It was such a minor detail that made a huge difference on my wedding day. She really did a great job and had the dress ready in plenty of time. I will definitely be going to her more often. She's a lovely person and her suggestions are spot on. If you need wedding dress, bridesmaids dress or any other tailoring...go to Coco! read more

Got my scrubs altered, was done on the date they said and was done perfectly and fairly priced.

Coco is AWESOME! I came here based on other yelp reviews hoping to salvage my very nice Banana Republic skirt that NY Tailors ruined (and I still had to pay for). Coco took one look at it when I tried it on and knew exactly what to do. When I went to pick it up and try on, it looked perfect! I wanted to hug her but that would have been weird since I've only been there once. I've learned that good tailors like Coco take the time to do alterations correctly Whereas other tailors take shortcuts hoping you won't nice their sub-par skills. I've found a keeper! read more

Coco's is simply the best! I've been coming here for over a year to have her sew on cub scout patches, hem pants, create a hula skirt, and add a button + slit to a polo shirt. Today, I took in a pair of jeans that had a hole in the front left pocket. The hole was pretty big so I wasn't sure if it needed to be patched or replaced. I figured I'd drop them off and come back in a week. She checked it out and suggested we just sew it shut. She showed me what it would look like and it seemed good to me. She took it in the back and sewed it on the spot! Now, the pocket works great. Plus, get this, she didn't even charge me for it! Her services are normally not free, but she has consistently come through with excellent workmanship at a very reasonable price. I have nothing but good things to say about Coco. If you need any alterations, this is the place to go. read more

Coco did a fantastic job with my wedding dress alterations! She took all of my concerns and desires for the fit and bustles and worked with me over three sessions to get it just right. And she was very reasonably priced (especially with other LA shops that will just jack up the price because it's a wedding dress!). Couldn't recommend her more! read more

This may be excessive that this is my 3rd review for Coco but she is that good! I brought in my wedding dress to have it taken up and bustled. While I was there trying on the dress, my sister and I noticied that the back didn't look right. They had ordered me a smaller size than what I tried on because I was getting a corset, but it didn't fit quite right (made me look like I had some major back fat going on). Coco immediately knew what to do. She told my sister to loosen the corset and unbutton part of my undergarment. Then she added a small amount of panelling inside to give the corest more room to breath. Brilliant! And all this for $160 (bustling, hemming and corset modification). I had budgeted $200 for the dress thinking I was low-balling based on what friends had told me and still she came in under my low ball estimate. Again, Coco comes through! read more

Coco is great. She has a great eye, does great work, and has a great (dry) personality. I like that she will make suggestions that you haven't thought of or thought wouldn't looked great and they are awesome. Her prices are reasonable, her timing is also reasonable (just make sure it's not last minute). Cash or check only. Closed Tuesdays. read more

I found Coco on Yelp several years ago. She is great. Doesn't beat around the bush, but is still sweet and personable. She's easy to work with - if the alteration isn't to my liking, we talk about it and she adjusts it until I like it :) I especially like having her fix up the vintage pieces I bring in, usually taking it down to size 2/4 from size 8 or 10 ... Service-wise, I cut her a little slack because she is pretty much a one-woman operation. I tend to leave my stuff there for a couple weeks, but if I need it earlier, I will call to confirm that it's ready. I usually also call just to make sure she's there, because once in a blue moon she closes early or takes the day off on short notice. Finally ... I have never used another alterations place before, so I don't have a basis for cost comparison, but when I tell my friends about her rates, they always say "Wow, that's cheap!" Just today, when I picked up my stuff, some lady came in while I was in the changing room, and while getting ready to pay for her stuff, she said to Coco, "hey, remember the first time I came to you?" ... I forgot what else she said, but it was Coco who said, "Yes, that was in 1992" or some other year around then ... and it just put a smile on my face. This is what small business is about. I hope she never closes up shop. read more

Coco is the best!!! Always knows what to do... definitely recommend if you need alterations..

I've gotten my pants altered and hemmed here twice. Coco keeps you informed and does a very good job. I will continue to go here. Price is also reasonable. read more

Coco is great. She's very patient and was able to help figure out the perfect fit when I didn't know what would look best. She was able to save the cute bottom hem, even after taking inches off the bottom of my pants. She finished early, both times I've had things altered. I will be going back and highly suggest Coco's Alterations. read more

I love Coco! I needed to have a dress tailored for a family wedding I was going to. The dress was a size too big and it was lined. I checked out the yelp reviews and thought I'd try Coco's. She had me try on the dress, made the adjustments with pins in front of a mirror so I could see what was going to happen. I showed up two days later and tried the dress on. It still needed to be taken in( in the waist). Coco had already taken in all she could on the sides so she ended up taking it in on the front and back seams. I only waited another day and it fit perfectly. She adjusted the lining so it didn't even look like it was altered! The price was great. I now have a tailor I can trust with all my clothes. Thank you Coco and thank you Yelpers for the great reviews that got me to her. P.S. Coco only takes cash as payment so FYI. read more

This is a great place for alterations. I really love the service and the fast turnaround time. I had her hem a couple of pairs of pants and a sport coat for me and everything was done so well. The place is clean and there is plenty of parking. All in all the level of service was worth the drive from my house to the shop. I will be back! read more

Coco is great! She's helped me, my friends and cousins alter a couple of bridesmaids dresses and we are forever grateful. Great prices as well. Coming to Coco is way better than getting alterations at David's Bridal or Alfred Angelo. read more

Overall wonderful experience with CoCo. FYI: Coco takes cash or check only! I went in to get a bridesmaids dress altered at the last minute, and she was immediately helpful and accommodating! She did not hesitate to say she'd do the alterations, and unlike other places, did not make me feel bad for giving her the project so suddenly. I tried on the dress with my heels, and not only did she hem up the bottom, but also suggested added stitches around the bust to decrease the unpleasant bulkiness of the fabric. I went back 2 days later, and although the dress needed to be hemmed up a bit more, the top was absolutely perfect and I picked up the dress the next day. This cost $65, which I felt was quite expensive, but I also do not have much experience with getting alterations, so I wasn't sure. I would go again though for peace of mind that the job will get done right and cleanly! (4/5 because wonderful overall, but possibly price in comparison?). read more

I rarely give a business 5 stars, but I have to for Coco. I always ask for hemming on dresses (from sheath dresses to long gala gowns) and even tailoring to taper-in a dress for a vintage vibe. Coco does impeccable work. She will give her straight/hard opinion and will execute beautifully. I've never had to come back for a re-do. I've had to do a couple rush jobs in the past, but always with good reasons. Give ample time. Either way, it will always come out great. read more

Coco was very quick and did a wonderful job altering a bridesmaid dress. I would definitely recommend Coco to anyone needing alterations!

Yelp strikes again! I had no idea this place existed within walking distance of my home. I brought in 2 pairs of jeans to be shortened, and I'm quite pleased with the results. I've never had my jeans professionally hemmed before, and I don't know why I didn't start sooner! I think this will become my go-to alteration place. read more

Quick, decent pricing. Was told I'd get a call or text when my alterations were ready. Never received the call, but would recommend the place. read more

Looked around and read all the other reviews. Seemed like a few goods ones in the area but picked Coco's somewhat randomly from the other good reviews. So glad I did! Got a few items done over the next few days. Everything was done very well. On time, good fit, reasonable price, great personal service. Everything was perfect and couldn't ask for anything more. Actually I got suit done for an upcoming interview and someone else was there for a wedding dress this weekend. Kinda cheesy but I thought it was interesting how big a role tailors and the clothes they alter play such a huge role in our lives.. I will return and would highly recommend to anyone else. read more

I got engaged in April 2022 and we decided to get married October 2022 so it was a short window for planning. I bought my dress at Sofia Bridal (Torrance) and they were able to complete my dress earlier than expected by Aug 27. The seamstress they referred me to for alterations said she might not be able to alter my dress because the timeline (wedding 10/29). I called Mattuccis which is next door to me and they said the same thing. Coco came to the rescue. She was able to complete the first round (lining on the top and take it in to fit me since it was too big on top) within 3 wks. The second round was shorten the hem, bustle and round out the "scallop" shape of the train. Not an easy task since it was lace but she completed by the time promised (another 3 weeks). My dress is exactly how I envisioned and I am so happy! (Also relieved that she took it in with the tight timeline.) Pricing was very reasonable too. Very excited to wear it on my wedding day. read more

She is excellent. She can alter anything. And has a good eye to make sure your clothes fit just right.

Coco is the best. Everything she has altered has been done professionally and on time. I took a sweatshirt to another shop when Coco was on vacation. They shortened the sleeves too much, and Coco directed me to Joann's Fabrics and Crafts to buy similar fabric. She lengthened the cuffs and now the shirt fits perfectly. I have been taking clothes to Coco for alteration for a little over a year and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended! read more

She is so awesome, I highly recommend Coco hands down as I no longer have to drive an hour to my old alteration lady. Coco is the sweetest lady ever. read more

Got pants for work. Got pants made for models. Needed pants hemmed to suit my stubby little legs. Came to Coco's with said pants. She is fast, and she is efficient. My pants were hemmed within a few days, and they were hemmed nicely. It's a basic hem, nothing fancy, reasonably-priced at $10. I can't speak to the more complicated alterations, but I am no longer tripping over my pant legs. read more

Coco's the bomb. She has good taste and technique. I've found my tailor. read more

I want to give a higher rating because my dresses were hemmed so well. However, they weren't ready when I went to pick them up. Actually, they hadn't been touched! Perhaps this place deserves a second chance. read more

Coco is amazing. She is a great tailor and is incredibly kind. She tailored dress pants for me last year which came out great and recently tailored a suit for me and it came out excellent. I've found my tailor for life as long as I live in this area. read more

Had my work uniforms altered & one piece completely redone. Excellent work. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Prices reasonable as well as turnaround time. Darling woman! read more

I just had suit pants hemmed. I thought it was a great price (cash only, FYI), and quick turn-around time (3 days). Quick, cheap, and good. Not often can you get all three at once. read more

COCO IS A PERFECTIONIST. Just what I want in a tailor. I cannot believe we have a tailor with her expertise and quality in our own neighborhood and at South Bay prices. Anybody who doesn't think she is INEXPENSIVE, must be comparing her services to inferior work, or just plain doesn't know. I am amazed by the couple of people calling her rude. Coco is sweet, patient, professional, honest and very very good at her job. She will tell you the truth as another reviewer stated, about when it can be finished, what it will take to do the job correctly, etc. Anyone I have referred to her have been absolutely thrilled with the results and the price! read more
