She is also pricier than other seamstresses I've shopped around with. She has a limited schedule. When I did my initial fitting she kind of waited for me to tell her what I wanted fix. I knew dress didn't fit perfectly but I couldn't pin point how to fix it. The seamstress I worked with for my reception dress was a lot more helpful in guiding me on what should be done. The one thing I did ask for (tightened straps), she didn't recommend because she thought it would cut into me when I moved--I was constantly pulling them up on my wedding day. One thing really bothered me. When I booked, she stated there would be 2-3 fittings. However; when I asked when I asked when my 2nd fitting would be she said she was fully booked. Like I said earlier, she has a limited scheduled. I was really nervous, but I was able to book at G&G instead of at her house so I was able to get my second fitting. It food well enough that I didn't ask for any adjustments because I was already frustrated with the situation. The hemming and bustle she did were okay. The extra breast cups she put in were loose and could have been done better. I think Nadia was a skilled seamstress but I would choose someone else if I could do it all again. I would have preferred to use the seamstress I had for my reception dress. The communication, scheduling, and pricing was much better.

Obviously with something as important as your wedding dress you want to find the best! Nadia was…read moreamazing-responsive, very kind, very professional, and great at what she does. She got everything perfect with just one fitting and just in time to pick up before my event. She helped my bridesmaid learn how to lace my corset top and also how to bustle the dress. She does require a $25 consultation hold, which I think is a reasonable trade for her time. Don't forget that most seamstresses need at least 2 months without rushing so remember to plan accordingly!

I had been hesitant after reading mixed reviews of other places, so I reached out to Maselli first to see if they could meet my expectations. Their responsiveness and honesty immediately gave me confidence, and I decided to bring my boots in. I did have to pay the full amount upfront before seeing the finished product, which made me a bit hesitant at first--but the results truly speak for themselves. What impressed me even more was learning that the restoration was hand painted, not sprayed on, which shows just how much care, skill, and meticulous attention to detail went into the work. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. This place is truly a gem, and I'm so glad I took the chance. I've finally found a shoe repair shop I can trust and will absolutely be coming back.

I had a Chippendale chair with a broken seat base that needed to be replaced, but wanted to keep the fabric. Most places weren't interested in fixing something 'so small'.. So, I got on Yelp and decided to use their AI Assistant to find someone who could help. The responses came faster than I could have anticipated. The first one was from Leo at Leo's Upholstery. This was a business I was already considering, being somewhat close after 2 in Oakland. Leo's reviews are what sold me, outside of how responsive Leo was to my inquiry. I dropped off the chair, had a great chat with Leo about the chair, what we had done with it and other topics. He said it would be ready by Monday or Tuesday. I receive a text early on Tuesday morning, letting me know the chair was ready. We arranged a time and I came to get the chair. It was as promised. It's fixed (after many months of being damaged), it looks great, feels solid and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Leo will be my Go-To Furniture repair going forward.

I am very short and therefore all my pants are constantly too long. This visit, I brought sarah 5 pairs of pants, 4 of which were objectively difficult to hem; two super wide legged pants (one linen and one pleated suit pants), 2 made of this weird thick satin. The last pair was a front pleat cargo pant type dress pant. The way she hems is flawless. It's incredible how I cannot see the hem from the outside of the pant. I can see it's been done on the inside but on the outside you can't see the stitches at all even on very thin fabric. These 5 pairs were a very fair price! 14-18$ depending on the fabric and cut of each pant. I called before my visit because in order to tailor pants you need to try them on and have them pinned at the right length-- this takes time if you need to do it 5x in a row. So I called on a Monday and asked when would be a good time for me to come in Tuesday? She gave me a good time and when I walked in I was seen immediately. Took about 30 mins to do all the pinning. She said come pick them up in two weeks. At the exact two week point she called to let me know that the pants were done. Everything fits perfectly!!

I brought 10 pair of pants in to be hemmed. A very simple request . One pair needed a 28" inseam…read more They others all 29". One pair had raw edges and I wanted a regular hem on them too. While I was there the gentleman place a tag on the one pair of pants that needed the 28" hem. I was told the next day all the pants were ready for pickup. I picked them up. When inspecting the pants at home, the one pair with the raw edges was not hemmed and looked like a pair of scissors was used on them making an uneven cut. I was charged for this! The one pair that was tagged for 28" measured 29 " with the tag still attached. The inseams measured differently from one leg to the other on 5 of the 10 pants. I called, explained the situation, spoke to a woman, and was told to bring them back in. I did and the woman at the counter apologized after see looked at the pants and said their regular seamstress was on vacation. This was a Friday and told me to come back Monday and the pants would be fixed. When I came in today, my one pair of pants with the raw hem was still not hemmed! The pair of pants that I wanted the shorter inseam, 28" was still 29". But a pair of my other pants that needed the inseams be redone so both inseams were even, now have been hemmed to 28"! They male counter person insisted I wanted theses pants hem to 28". Absolutely not! The pants that needed the 28" had a tag that he, himself safety pinned to the waist when I originally brought them in. He said I wanted to keep the raw edges on the one pair. If so why would I bring them in, I could cut the legs myself and save $18.0! Unbelievable attitude and very poor quality of work. I do not recommend this dry cleaner to anyone. I received a refund on the pants that were never hemmed, but not on the other pants that weren't hemmed correctly and another pair ruined by hemming too short.
