Tour of Duty

I've been a regular customer here for 3 years, and spent more than a few bucks. She always delivers 100% master craftsmanship... Sturdy repairs, slick alterations, and fair prices, too. Kaiser S Los Angeles

They hooked us up right after we bought tuxedoes down the street. Got our alterations done the same day and they did it right!

Downtown

This place is absolutely amazing! They do incredible work, and the staff here is not only warm and…read morefriendly but also exceptionally professional and highly experienced. I had my dress altered for my anniversary, and they made it perfect! exactly how I envisioned it. I also had a pair of pants tailored, and they turned out fantastic. Even though I don't live nearby, the drive is totally worth it for the quality and value of the service they provide. I highly recommend them 100%! Thank you so much Costura Lab!! I'll definitely be back soon!

My wedding coordinator recommended Costura Lab for wedding dress alterations and I'm so thankful…read moreshe did! Sofia is so fun, sweet, and easy to work with. She took every one of my requests and concerns very seriously and worked tirelessly to leave me feeling totally comfortable and confident! My dress is completely covered in beading and very heavy as a result which added to the challenge. She hemmed (which, because of the beading, involved hammering one bead at a time), moved and shortened straps (multiple times until I was 100% happy), added four bustles (first adding two, and then designing strategic and beautiful placement of two more), and painstakingly hand-stitched (while squatting on the floor for two hours) around the hem to "glue" many inner layers together (to keep me from tripping on inner layers of tulle). She also tailored a silk shawl cover-up and made a beautiful scarf out of the excess silk. In the middle of all that work, I also came to her with a new need to somehow make the dress a lot more modest - I couldn't find anything that would work with my dress from bridal shops - so she designed and made two mesh long sleeve tops to wear under my dress. She made sure the beauty of my dress would not be compromised by the cover-up! By then I had very little time to make it downtown, so I took my own measurements and texted them to her, and the shirts still magically turned out perfect. I am someone that avoids downtown as much as possible, but I'll be making the pilgrimage a lot more often now to entrust the rest of my wardrobe to Sofia. Thank you Costura Lab!!!
