We cannot say enough wonderful things about Liz and her work! We brought two wedding dresses to her to be completely transformed into formal wear, and the results were absolutely stunning. Liz not only did an incredible job with the alterations, but she also came up with the design ideas that transformed the dresses. She removed three layers of fabric and the trains, shortened one to shoe length and the other to tea length, and used the extra fabric to create beautiful custom straps and a gorgeous laced corset back. Her creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were incredible! Liz was wonderful to work with, the pricing was incredibly fair, and the final results exceeded our expectations. We are so thrilled with our dresses and could not recommend Liz more highly, especially for complex alterations or creative redesigns. read more

I highly recommend Liz for wedding dress alterations. She was so amazing to work with and provided superior service.

She is so nice. I had to get my prom dress shortened as soon as possible and she responded very quickly. She really made the effort to find a time for me to bring my dress in as soon as she could. I also referenced her to a friend and she responded to my friend quickly as well. Not only is she a very nice person; she is consistent in her work and she is definitely skilled and knows what she is doing. read more

Daniell is Amazing at her craft! Her professionalism as a seamstress is Amazing. All my pants that have been done by her looks awesome. Better than how I bought them. The best thing I like is how comfortable I feel in my clothing. So do yourself a favor and go see her you will not be disappointed. read more

Highly recommend Elizabeth from Daniell's Design Studio in Benicia for clothing alterations/seamstress work. She did wonders on dress alterations on my bridesmaids and flower girl dress (she hemmed the length, took the straps in on my bridesmaids dress, made the slit less open and let out my daughters snug dress). Very responsive, not rude or pushy--has a nice fitting room area in her home where her studio is. Overall recommend!! read more

Stage 1 -- the consultation is complete! As a cosplayer, having something "fit" comfortably is key (and I have some biomechanical challenges too). Wonderful communication and great flexibility for scheduling -- it is clear to me that Elizabeth has a wonderful eye for how something should fit and has the experience to make it work! Looking forward to rocking my Marvel and Star Wars themed cosplays this July without the "just out of a bulk costumer warehouse bag" style ... read more

Elizabeth is creative and very personable. My mom needed sleeves added to the dress she was going to wear to my brother's wedding and Elizabeth was able to create some that complimented the design of the dress. She was also able to take in the dress without having to cut through the intricate beautiful rose gold beading. Elizabeth provided a fair and honest breakdown of the cost of her services and was able to get the dress to us before the wedding. read more

I have used Danielle design studio for the last six years. Lizzie has been there for every prom dress wedding dress tuxedo alteration. Her work is absolutely amazing but more importantly how customer service is impeccable. Thank you so much and were so blessed to find you read more

Great person Liz is. Her nearly perfect reviews speak for themselves. Don't understand how anyone could find fault with her or her dedication to craft. I've been a customer of her's for years. I've never found her to be disagreeable or decline a project--no matter how big or small. She's really dedicated to her customer's satisfaction. She's been a longtime successful small business asset serving Benicia and surrounding communities. If you have any sewing or alteration needs, give her a call. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Thanks Liz! read more

She messed up my mom's expensive dress for my wedding next week. She cut the sheer fabric without finishing the edge and didn't even tell my mom prior to pick up. She just said it's ready for pick up. My mom got to her place to find that the dress edge was not even finished with zigzag stitch. Her reasoning for not finishing the edge of the dress is because she didn't have the color thread to match. Well she could have at least told my mom prior to pick up and better yet color matched the damn thread before she cut off the fabric, sewing 101. Now she cut off too much of the fabric and so close to the beading for us to even get it fixed. my wedding is also outside, in grass, so if the unfinished edge gets caught on anything it can easily rip and the edges can fray easily since it's not finished. She only charged $10, thank God it wasn't $20 or more (original quote). Basically we paid her to simply cut fabric that we could have easily done ourselves. We could have also saved ourselves the drive. She didn't even offer her to reimburse payment. I will never go to this place and hope this serves as a warning to others. If I could give ZERO stars I would... read more

Elizabeth is the best. I'm glad I live nearby and I will definitely be using her business for future alterations. Service here is fast, the work is quality, & there are multiple ways to communicate and to pay. She is beyond accommodating and she was patient with me through schedule changes due to my busy season at work. The pricing is beyond fair and affordable and I couldn't be more satisfied with her work. We are lucky to have her in the Benicia / Vallejo area. read more

I highly recommend Liz for alterations. She is really creative and did an outstanding job altering my wedding dress which needed a lot to get it to work for me. Thank you Liz for sharing your creative genius with me. And thank you for being reasonably priced. I'm very grateful for all you did for me. read more

Elizabeth was very professional and kind, and her prices were very affordable. She was able to hem my dress and replace the zipper with a corset in a timely manner before the day of the army ball I was attending. Many thanks! read more

Elizabeth Daniell was my saving grace!!! After my horrible wedding shop in Sacramento didn't have my wedding dress here until 3 weeks before my big day I was terrified that my dress wouldn't be done in time and that my alterations would cost me a fortune. I called Elizabeth and explained my situation to her and what I would need done. A week later I was at her home with my dress and was completely confident she would get the job done, and she did! I had a bustle, hem, heart sewn in, corset adjusted and waist tightening all done by her! My dress was amazing and fit perfectly! I don't think I will ever be able to thank her enough! read more

Daniell is fantastic. Quick, professional, and affordable. She listens, and does a great job at alterations. She was able to hem my dress in a flash, and I was able to pick up before the event. Love her work so much that I just dropped my second dress off with her! read more

Elizabeth replies back timely and ams gets the work done as promised. Very reasonable pricing too. I will definitely use this service again!!! read more

Because you can't recall the incident, I'm left having to defend my review. The pictures should make it clear. I'm not happy having to take more of my time on this, but I want my Yelp reputation to remain intact. When I picked up the dress, I paid you. It wasn't until I got home and took the plastic off that I noticed both the puckering and the stains. When I brought it back to you we discussed the options and you told me the puckering could not be fixed without taking the seam in more which would result in it being too small for me. You admitted you hadn't seen the stains but agreed it could have been water from your iron. You suggested I wear the dress anyway -- something I wasn't going to do. Then you offered me a cheap dress that had been your daughters to wear. I'm in my fifties. You never offered to refund my money and I didn't ask. I just wanted out of there. read more

Daniell did an amazing job for doing my bridemaid alterations for my best friends wedding back in 2014 and now my sister inlaws wedding last Thursday. She is fast and efficient and cannot beat the price! Will be going back to her for future alterations next time! read more

Elizabeth saved me and my pregnant belly! I went in to get my mermaid wedding dress shortened at about 5.5 months pregnant -- my wedding was scheduled for a month and a half later. It was a fitted lace-up so it could expand around my belly area. When I came back a week before my wedding for the fitting, my hips expanded! Elizabeth tailored my dress and it was the perfect length, but I could no longer sit in my dress! I was freaking out because I wanted to be comfortable and Elizabeth came to my rescue with a backup umpire waist wedding dress that she switched from a zipper to a lace-up and removed the bra wiring. I was able to wear my mermaid wedding dress to my ceremony and the comfortable umpire waist wedding dress to my reception! Elizabeth is an amazing tailor who is my shero! And she has very reasonable pricing and is super friendly! read more

Liz has been my daughter's sewing tutor for almost a year, and she does a fantastic job. She is patient, knowledgeable, always available (even on short notice), and has everything a student needs to learn quickly, plus her rates are excellent. Liz has always been there for us in a pinch. In addition to her teaching skills, Liz is an excellent seamstress and her sewing and design skills are unmatched. She creates amazingly beautiful and complicated dresses for prom, bridesmaids and brides. read more

Daniell was great to work with! I had a bridesmaid dress that was completely sequenced that needed alterations. She was quick to respond, accommodated my short turn around time and did excellent work. I'd recommend her in a heart beat! Her alterations were seamless and looked like I bought the dress that way! read more

Had a bridesmaid dress altered and the price and the workmanship was exceptional. Will be my go to for tailoring in the future.

Elizabeth did a great job altering my jacket! Short turnaround time for the alteration. Her price was affordable for excellent work. Lastly, she was easy to communicate with from initial measurement to pickup. Looking forward to future alterations from Elizabeth. Thanks again! read more

Beyond disappointed, and seeing all of these good reviews makes me even more disappointed. This lady was recommended to my mother to have a dress done for my wedding. She approached her with a design two months ago with more than enough time to get a dress done, which she said was an "easy dress" to make and it would be finished the first week of August. During this time, she has not communicated to my mother whether or not the dress would be complete, and by the time that the first week of August comes, my mother has to call her with no dress to show. Since then she has been trying to set a time to fit the dress, but the seamstress keeps making excuses not to see her or pushing it back closer to the wedding. It is now the week of my wedding THIS SATURDAY and my mom finally sees the dress TODAY for the first time and it looks so poorly made. ONE it looks nothing like the photo she sent, but even so TWO not even nice enough to wear anywhere! The waistline is crooked, the seams are popping out all over the place, at this point I'm not even sure if she attempted to make it look nice. This left her in tears, as she is THE MOTHER OF THE BRIDE and really gave her the benefit of the doubt and expected her to deliver a beautiful dress even though she was late but did not. Extremely disappointed in the poor communication and not being able to deliver the dress in time. read more

Elizabeth has done two projects for me so far and both have been done to perfection. The first was redoing upholstery on two lounge chairs and they turned out beautiful. The second and most important was a hideous bridesmaid dress. This Dress was awful, really awful and she turned it into a lovely (even though the color was the worst) dress that flattered my body and made the dress as beautiful as it could be!! I couldn't be more pleased with her work!! She is great and a joy to work with! You could bring her anything and she will work her magic! You won't be disappointed! Thanks again Elizabeth! Your a life saver :) read more

Did an amazing job sewing two blankets for me! Super last minute too! I appreciate her work! Very much! She is quick and responsive! I'll definitely come back! read more

This review is overdue but worth the wait! Liz is a lifesaver! Sounds like she's helped out others in a pinch as well! I came to her last minute with a bridesmaid dress emergency and she pulled off the impossible. My first dress was made 2 sizes too small and I didn't realize it until 5 days before I had to fly out for the wedding. The dress shop sent me a "replacement" dress.... the only one they had in stock was in the exact color but 2 sizes larger than I needed and it was full length and strapless. Liz completely transformed my full length dress into a knee length dress, took it in and added straps to make it look like the original dress style I had ordered. She did this all within 24 hours and her rates were beyond reasonable for this rushed request!! She is amazing and I'd take any future project to her without a doubt! read more

I have known Liz for many years and her work is truly exquisite. She is a good listener, communicator and readily available to discuss your needs. My ongoing development project has entailed rather significant adjustments that she has accommodated on a moments notice in spite of a very busy schedule. Thank you, friend! Haute Couture, Bridal, Drapes, Bedding, Costumes, Evening Gowns, Boat Cushions, Furniture Reupholstery and MORE. I have yet to see something Liz can't do! I highly recommend her services!! read more

Liz altered my gown at the very last minute - did a wonderful job!! It worked perfectly!!

I went to Elizabeth about three times, and I would recommend her 100% of the time to every one that need to get something tailored. Shes really good at what she does and her pricing is really reasonable, but way much cheaper then going to a dry cleaners. She is really friendly, she the best seamstress that I found and I will keep going to her, I got my sister and friends that gone to her, she the best :) read more

I typically don't write to many Yelp Reviews but I really wanted to give a shout out to Liz Daniel for the wonderful creative job she has done for me. I have been using Liz for years from covering cushions to hemming pants. I am so happy with her job and her prices are very reasonable. I have referred many friends and family and I would recommend anyone looking for someone to help with any design and sewing jobs!!!!!! read more

I was given a recommendation to Elizabeth by a few people and I can see why. She is professional, polite and prompt. Fortunately for me she was available to do a last minute sewing job that I was hoping for and even had it done before the time anticipated. I am grateful for her vision and manifestation! Now it is my turn to recommend her and I highly do! read more

My daughter bought her dress last minuet for Homecoming court. Liz was able to hem the dress within a couple days. She did a fabulous job.

Elizabeth has fixed, altered or improved many items for me, including a quilt, jeans, blouse, slacks, seat pillows, vintage suitcase lining, party dress, and probably more than I am forgetting. She is timely, fairly priced and pleasant to work with. She has a pick up location if you are not near Benicia, and I believe she will deliver. She can do just about anything with a sewing machine and fabric. Highly recommend. read more

I have acquired a love for vintage Pendleton shirts. However, I prefer short sleeves rather than long sleeves, and I think I look better in shirts with a tapered fit at the waistline. I was given a very strong referral to Elizabeth Daniell by a friend and decided to see if she could modify these fine wool shirts into ones that were perfect for me. She spent considerable time discussing my ideas with me and planning the methods to achieve my goals. She has modified about two shirts a week for me for the past month and every one is perfect. I can't wait to pick up the latest batch of shirts. It's like Christmas! I look forward to wearing the latest examples at office meetings or going out weekend evenings. (I'm not narcissistic, right?) Elizabeth's price for doing her fantastic work always makes me think "Is that all?" In fact, she'll do lots of little extras without charge at all - fix a tear, replace a button, stick flaps together so the shirt looks good when worn unbuttoned, etc. Elizabeth is truly Five-Star! read more
