If there were more stars, I would definitely give her more than 5!!!! I'm sad I didn't get to finish this review before, but absolutely Love love love Anny!!! She tailored a lot of big events- my dress for my friends wedding, my wedding, my bridesmaids dress for my brothers wedding.... each time, she does such a thorough job for a great price. Plus, she treats us all like friends the minute you walk through the door, even though she is currently practicing English. We miss Anny!!! read more

Annie is great. However, she sold her business and her last day was July 30, 2019! Tita's Alterations took over her business. I haven't tried her yet but she also got good reviews. read more

Anny is the sweetest person ever ! it was fun to practice my elementary Mandarin, but communication was fine through basic English terms and gestures. This was the first time I had taken something to get altered and only chose this place based of yelp reviews. Glad I did ! She did a wonderful job with my bridesmaid dress and let me come in to try it on before she finished all the final alterations . her prices were fair! I know this bc my friend got hers altered somewhere else for more expensive. I will definitely come back for all my future alteration needs ! read more

If you can speak Chinese, the process is a breeze! She's so nice and is so genuine. I brought a dress over that needed some serious work (a ruffled sundress) and she wasn't BSing anything. She told us straight up that the altercations would cost $50 and that it just wasn't worth it and I could easily buy 3 other dresses with the price of this one dress. She suggested that she just cut it short and I can add a belt instead to make it fit better. She obviously wants the best for you and is really fair about her prices. In total, my two dresses only costed $30 and she even gave us $5 off. She originally said my dress would take about 2.5 weeks to finish, but when I said my prom was in 2 weeks, she said she could make room for me. If you can't speak Chinese, just show her what you want when you try on the dress and she'll know what to do. Please check this place out! read more

Annie is great - fast and sweet to help to shorten a dress for me. Her English might be limited but her skills are incredible. Price is reasonable and will be back for any alteration in the future! read more

Went here on Thursday 12/15/2016 to get a dress altered for an event on 12/17/2016. At first Annay told me a week but I told her my event was on Saturday. First of all, it was my fault for bringing it in so last minute. I didn't plan on getting the dress altered but decided on doing it last minute. She saved the day! She got it done for me just in time, it was super affordable, and it looked amazing. I'm definitely going to her for all my tailoring from now on. read more

The sweetest and most talented lady, but yes you will have trouble communicating details if you don't speak Mandarin. Because of her skills, attention to detail, and fair pricing she is always swamped so come in the sooner the better. If you need something last minute she'll often shift around her work to cater to you. She can seriously tailor anything, ANYTHING. She tailored a dress for me in a funky scuba material. Since the sewing machine would damage the fabric, she did it by hand and it was machine-pristine. I was so impressed. Make sure to keep the receipt she gives you, she writes the pickup date on there and there have been customers I've seen that come in on the wrong day and without their receipt, and they end up getting mad at HER for their alterations not being ready! Rude. It makes me happy to support this small business and this genuinely wonderful woman, and I hope you will too. read more

Their work and service is really nice, even after the change in owners. I'm not Chinese so it was hard to communicate with the old owner. The new owns understand and speak English better. I got my pants shortened and they came out clean and crisp. ***Only complaint is that they said i can pick it on Monday. I drove from San Gabriel to find out they're closed Mondays. *** read more

Anny was the best! She's so sweet and got my bridesmaids dress tailored quickly on short notice. She usually books up in advance as she's a great tailor with more than fair pricing. She's really kind and got my dress tailored just as I wanted. She makes you try it on several times to make sure that everything is perfect. She's fluent in Chinese but even with my broken Chinese and using some English, there was no problem communicating with her. She texted me sooner than when she promised the dress to be ready that it was ready for pick up and also fixed my daughter's dress. I will definitely come back for any future dress alterations. read more

Annie is so talented! I needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed, which she did amazingly. I also thought I needed it taken in a bit, but she suggested I adjust the straps instead, which was a much better idea than mine, and cheaper for me. Basically, Annie knows what she's doing. She knows better than I know what needs to be done to get the result I want. The end result looked like what I originally purchased, just so much better fitted for my body. She wants to make sure you're satisfied, so she'll also have you try it on the day you pick it up just to make sure everything is perfect. Yes, it'd be best if you can speak some Chinese. But she's also been working on her English and she sent texts to me to remind me of fitting appointments and when the dress was ready to be picked up. She communicated very clearly in English when texting. I'll only be going to Annie from now on for my tailoring needs. Oh, also, she has a lot of customers, and she's handling the entire store and all the tailor-work by herself. Getting big alterations can take some time. Plan accordingly. read more

Little old lady tailored 2 of my dresses to absolute PERFECTION and in record time...and at an EXTREMELY reasonable price. She speaks Mandarin and very broken English from what I gather from other reviews. Cheap pricing for great work and never lets me over-tip her. Reminds me of my grandma... I am so happy to have found her....and even sadder to report that she's informed me she will no longer be working anymore after May/June! Get your outfits in when you can! read more

Amazed by how a Chinese lady couldn't speak a bit of English has the courage to open a shop on her own. The owner/tailor is super nice. I can speak some Chinese so it made it a bit easier for me. Came here to get a jersey tailored, it was cheap and the work was great. Had to wait a week but I was fine by that. read more

I took my $2400 Zegna two piece here last week for emergency alterations and this little old lady knew EXACTLY what to do in terms of fit and style. She is very intricate with her hands and avoids machines whenever possible. Highly recommend if you don't have a personal tailor or need small fixes done on the go. read more

She is so friendly, but the language barrier may be an issue for some. She also appears to be overworked and may need help. The first shirt I had her tailor was made too small and she genuinely seemed sorry and embarrassed and refused to accept my money, which I think is only fair since I can't wear the shirt anymore.... The next shirt she tailored was made well. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back here simply because she is so friendly. read more

Quality craftsmanship work at a reasonable price with a quick turn around rate! Highly recommend. read more

Update years later... I have since utilized her service for several years. She made my wedding dress a dream come true and I can not praise her enough. Since then she has tailored suits, nursing scrubs and jeans to compliment my petite frame. I would highly recommend this tailor to anyone in the area or on vacation. She is a master of her work! read more

Great Tailor Lady. She fixed the sleeves on my Suit and the length on my pants. $12 for the pants and $25 for the sleeves. She did it in two days, I needed it for New Years. The only negative thing is the communication, she doesn't speak any English which makes it a little difficult to get what you want across. So just be a little patient and you'll get what you want. read more

Anny is a very sweet, talented, and honest lady. She always tries her best to provide detailed information about how she will alter/hem the clothes. She is my go-to tailor. Her prices are reasonable. I have brought so many pants, dresses, blouses, and uniforms to her, and she always delivers excellent work. I highly recommend her. read more

Best tailor! She is a very nice lady and did an awesome job in my wedding guest dress. I highly recommend her services.

Really impressed with the quality of work! My dress came out flawless and fits me absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for making my vegas dreams come true I would highly reccomend this tailor and the stitching on my dress came out impeccable. The price was really reasonable and she got it done in a timely fashion (2 weeks) read more

This is the second time we have had a semi last minute dress alteration need and have been so impressed with the service, timeliness, attention to detail and overall quality of the work. Oh and the price, so reasonable! No more questions about where we will go for future tailoring needs. read more

E and T Tailors - Thank you E&T for making her look amazing! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Arcadia, California

Best tailor and auntie in the town, don't cheap out on the tip, because she is worth it:)

I thought I wrote a review already, but I don't see it. Anyway, the lady spoke Mandarin only, but her daughter can translate the texts to her. She did a wonderful job altering our chiffon bridesmaids gowns. Her price was reasonable too. Would definite recommend. read more

11/28/17: I am writing this on behalf of the owner, whose English is very limited. "Attention all patrons: The shop will not be accepting any new orders from December 1st 2017 until January 5th 2018, because I need time to fulfill the orders I have already received. The store will only be open to customers picking up their finished orders. Such customers should call in advance before stopping by to receive their finished orders. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and I wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! Sincerely, Anny" read more

I came here to get a skirt altered and it was only $15. It was my first time and she was very professional. My sister has been coming here for a couple years and recommended it to me and it did not disappoint. She speaks minimal English but she's able to communicate with gestures. She was also kind enough to remove the inner cloth making the skirt poofy. Highly recommend this place! read more

Very professional and excellent courtesy. I recommend this place anytime you need alteration.

I found this tailor through Yelp and she was close to my work so I figured I'd try her out. Well, that was two years ago and I have been coming here ever since. Whenever I need a new zipper or hem fixed, I always bring it here. Her work is great and reasonably priced. I also feel like her English has improved so it is not an issue. She's always sweet and smiling and even though her shop is always full with garments to mend, she still remembers who you are every time. So if you're in the Arcadia area and are looking for a new tailor, I highly recommend E&T Tailors. read more

The sweetest woman with the most reasonable prices! Her work is always impeccable. I've been going to her every couple of weeks for about a year now (I am 5'0" and always need everything altered) and she never does me wrong. You will not be disappointed! read more

Great place for getting your clothes altered. Had 4 pair of pants/joggers altered for a great price. Just tell her what you want and she'll do it for you. read more

I got my wedding dress tailored here after being turned down everywhere else for giving too late of a notice. I honestly didn't think you needed over 2 months to tailor your dress, but I suppose when you reach out to the most popular places, you'd expect some sort of wait list. Anyhow, I've gotten pants and skirts tailored with Annie previously so I was familiar with her and how fast she worked. Her work isn't the highest quality, but she is efficient, reasonably priced, super kind, and gets the job done. I only needed to hem my wedding dress, so I wasn't too concerned with trusting her with my dress. Overall, I had 3 fittings before she actually made any real cuts. Annie was so patient with me and made sure I was truly sure of the length I wanted before making cuts. She also made sure to cut less in the beginning and go through a few fittings before I got the right length. She doesn't speak English very well, and if you speak Mandarin and English, she may ask you to help pick up a few calls or translate for her. read more

Came here to get my graduation clothes altered. Loved the service!! Sweetest woman ever!! Although there was a strong language barrier she made me feel comfortable enough to use my "sign language skills" hahaha. I appreciated her patience and vice versa. I found my new tailor! read more

Not a lick of English. But gets the job done right. Will come again. She has a sheet that translates certain questions she wants to ask.

Excellent tailor. I've been bringing in my pants to get tailored and she is meticulous with her work. Her pricing is very fair and she works pretty fast. For those that don't speak Mandarin, you may run into some communication difficulties, but just be patient and show her what you want done and she'll know. Give her a shot! read more

Anny is the tailor you'll want to keep going back to and then wonder what you're going to do if for some reason you no longer can. I truly love this tailor. At first, I felt uncomfortable due to the Chinese language barrier but she genuinely wants to help, and will do what it takes to make sure she does the job right. She is truly one of the sweetest, fairest, and most honest people I know. She is beyond reasonable in price and will refuse to take more than what she asked. If you go to her, you'll see for yourself exactly what I mean. And if for some reason you don't like the work that is done, she will fix it until you get what you want. All I know I know is, she's the only tailor I will go to from now on. And she even tailored my expensive wedding dress last month in November, and it turned out amazing!!! read more

Oh..my god Annay is a life saver. She fix my bridesmaid dress and she even steam it for me, No extra charge. Her English is not so good but if you're patient and try to understand her its worth it. Her prices are great! She has a cutomer for life. I will bring all my alterration to her from now on. read more

Annie, the new owner is very nice! She only speaks mandarin though and the old lady went back to China. Prices are very reasonable and I would say even cheaper than most places I've been too read more

I fond this tailor from Yelp. On top of everyone's 5 stars reviews, Annie is trying to learn to speak English to communicate with her customers. On my first visit, I became friend with her. She is very considerate for her customers. I speaks both Mandarin and English so I know more about her. I am glad I found her. She is the one for all my future alterations. Thank you all Yelpers for your reviews. read more

An excellent tailor!!! Anny is very skilled and meticulous, she will leave your alterations like they came done for you from the factory!!! Most important she is kind and sweet and amazing individual. I highly recommend her for any type of work.....brought her very expensive clothing and was impeccably altered!!! Hems are manually done and she goes above and beyond to please the customers!!!! read more

Annie is the best! I found E&T Tailors through Yelp and brought a bridesmaids dress to get hemmed in May for a destination wedding late June. Thank god I brought it early enough because there was a 30 day notice posted on her window saying that due to being overbooked, all items wouldn't be ready for at least 30 days. I just reiterated to her when my friend's wedding was since it was cutting a little close. If you are one that doesn't speak Mandarin, such as myself, you might have a bit of trouble communicating with her, however there was another customer in the shop that was able to help us out. Fast forward to June... Annie courteously texted me when my dress was ready on the date promised. It was hemmed beautifully! She charged $30, which is very reasonable for a double layered bridesmaid dress, and she also refused when I offered her tip. She is the sweetest lady, very professional. I will come back for future alterations. read more

Came here to get my daughters prom dress altered at the last minute. Her work is very good and her prices are affordable!
