Didn't think it could be done! I bought these shorts I've been wanting forever on sale and was so excited to get them. They were delivered and were way too big and unreteturnable. So, I figured I'd try this to see if taking them in ( they had to be taken in A LOT) could solve the issue. Finished product was the exact shorts I wanted all along, it was a bummer that it was extra to get what I wanted, but live and learn and the fact that she had the skill to pull it off was nothing short of a miracle. Seriously. Very impressed. Definitely recommend. read more

Wonderful work; very professional . Great turn around time!! Her prices are very treasonable. I had her hem a lined, satan dress for a wedding with a train and it was 125 dollars which Ibought was very reasonable given the quality of work and the time it must have taken her. 5 star review! read more

Parvin does a wonderful job with heming and alterations. Both my wife and I have used her over the years and have always found her work to be consistently excellent. She is fast, reliable and reasonably priced. The result is clothing that fits well and makes us look and feel much more stylish and pulled together. Thanks Parvin! read more

I needed a dress altered last minute and she was not only able to accommodate me, but did great work, finishing the work in two days, time, ahead of schedule. Such a pleasure to work with. read more

Elegant alterations is great- she has been doing my alterations for 8 years and I'm always happy with the results. Pravin is professional and consistent. She has changed her location to 921 Transport Way, Suite 1 in Petaluma, near Skippys. I was so happy to find her again! read more

Parvin is an excellent seamstress. She's friendly and she takes pride in her work. I've had work done to two dresses here, one let out and one hemmed and the straps taken in. The price is a bit high, but the craftsmanship is worth it. There is another woman who works at the shop sometimes, is not quite as nice. She's more difficult to understand, and not as friendly. read more

The owner/seamstress is the sweetest and so accommodating! I recently dropped off two pants for hemming and she was able to get them hemmed for me the same day!! So awesome because I really wanted them for the weekend. Every time I pop in there's a regular either dropping off or picking up and always engaged in a friendly conversation with the seamstress. It's nice to see she has such regular clientele. That alone tells me she's good! read more

I had the best experience here with Kathy. She goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and is very personable. I would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone, her work is wonderful. read more

I am so happy to find a true seamstress in town. I'm so done with dry cleaner "tailors". Parvin is a truly talented and experienced woman. I am very petite with a big butt so jeans never fit at the waist if they do in the hips/butt. Parvin did a seamless job taking them in. I also had her fix a split seam on a Peacoat and take in a blouse. All 4 items for under $150. These items were worth $0 hanging in my closet, but now that they fit me, they have value again! Parvin also came to see me at my new salon down the street from her, Petaluma Hair Company. I look forward to working with her as her hair stylist and she as my tailor for years to come! Thanks Parvin! read more

Based on other reviews here, I brought several pairs of jeans to be hemmed. Parvin was quick and efficient at marking each pair and the work was exceptionally well done. Although it's a bit pricier than other places I've gone to, it's definitely worth it in my opinion for the better quality. I'll be back for more alterations work for sure. read more

Wonderful woman who works here. Very sweet and attentive. She did a great job with my bridesmaid dress. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the price. She said my dress needed a lot of work (needed about an inch off the bottom hem and the back taken in a bit), she quoted and charged $180. (My dress originally was $300) so this seems a little too expensive for me, but I didn't have time to shop around at other places. Great work and friendly, just on the pricey side, unfortunately. I believe other places don't charge as much. read more

Parvin is a wonderful business owner. My suit jacket needed some alterations in a short amount of time. She accommodated all my needs. Her pricing and quality are very reasonable. She is open on the weekends btw. read more

A couple of months ago, I found a fabulous 100% merino hooded cycling jacket made by Chrome. It didn't fit very well, but because I loved the material and it was super warm, I bought it anyway, knowing I could likely find a tailor. My jacket is a bit complex in design. Among other things, it has flattened seams with contrasting thread, invisible pockets (side and back), and accent stitching. Because I knew altering it would likely be challenging, this wasn't a job I was willing to entrust to just anyone. After reading horror stories on Yelp about alterations gone wrong, previous reviews of Parvin's shop convinced me that she was the person to see. $85 lighter and two weeks later, I picked up my beloved jacket. Based on the complexity of what she had to do, her rate was more than reasonable. When I factor in that my jacket looks exactly the same as it did when I initially bought it (except for fitting much, much better), I can unequivocally state that Parvin does amazing work. Even though I don't live in Petaluma, there's no question in my mind as to where I'll take future alterations. Thanks, Parvin! read more

This woman wasnt the kindest when I went in to drop off my dress. I initiated conversation with her very minimally while she measured me because we were standing there in silence for a long time and she seemed annoyed that I was talking to her. Also, she charged $250 to hem a dress a couple inches shorter! When I went to pick up my dress, she was so sweet and smiley and nice. I thought to myself, wow, she is so dang nice today! Then she asked me to write a Yelp review after that. Maybe that is why she was so nice that day. read more

I went here after having a negative experience with another tailor in town (and on a recommendation of a friend), and it was great. I paid $30 to have a pair of jeans hemmed and to have a dress shirt taken in on the sides. Parvin was very kind and professional. She had my work completed on time and did a wonderful job. It's true that she only accepts cash and checks, but that is completely understandable from a small business. Her hours are difficult for me, as I also work a Tuesday through Saturday work week, but rearranging my schedule will be worth it when I need alterations. read more

I needed a lined dress hemmed. Parvin did a beautiful job! It was ready when promised Thank you!

I Took my girlfriend in to alter a custom leather corset she bought from england to get a zipper & a flap in the back changed and taken in after i read here she did the same here,the lady quoted $400 to do this simple modification-high end lambskin corset cost $150 from england-outrageous quote for a zipper replacement,reduction& flap,Go somewhere else,total ripoff!! read more

I highly recommend this place for A+ customer service. The owner Parvin hemmed my black pair of slacks at no charge. She is brilliant - stellar alterations!!! read more

This woman is very sweet. However, she does not know how to properly measure a dress to be hemmed. I brought a simple 2 layer dress in, (slip and tulle) what resulted was a slip that was far too short (my feet were showing) and a tulle layer that was far too long (I was stepping on it when I walked). She also charged me 85 dollars for this. The proper way to measure the dress to be hemmed, is to pull the fabric to the floor and mark with fabric chalk where it hits the ground. What she did was folded up the fabric, basically doing guess work - the cuts were uneven. Do not get a dress that matters to you hemmed here. read more

I called Parvin to look at address I need in a few days. She is kind and communicative. I look forward to having her help with this project.

Parvin is an angel! Our original wedding date was set for late September but when we heard about Petaluma's Rivertown Revival weddings happening on July 18th, we decided to go for it and get married there. Suddenly, I had only a week to get my dress... After searching bridal shops and getting more and more discouraged, I decided to take a chance on what appeared to be my perfect dress from The Reformation (online). I ordered it Wednesday, it arrived Thursday night, and was truly perfect....except for being too tight :(. I was panicked. I woke up Friday morning and called Elegant Alterations after doing a yelp search. Parvin had me come in immediately. She is professional and lovely and promised I would have my dress by that afternoon. Instead, she was calling me two hours later and had already finished! She did an absolutely amazing job and my dress was better than I could have imagined. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it! In addition to her expert skills, her level of concern and customer service went above and beyond and she put me at ease immediately. read more

Creative, professional, dependable alterations! The seamstress is lovely. I brought a swimsuit in, and will be back. It's worth a trip to the East side for the parking or the speed with which the alterations can be done! read more

We brought a pair of baseball pants to be hemmed at Elegant Alterations. Very quick turnaround time, and excellent work. The owner is a very nice lady and was willing to work us to get the pants done before first pitch of the first game. Highly recommended!! read more

I needed a pair of slacks altered within two days and Parvin took on the challenge with no hesitation. The day i came back to give it a try, i was so amazed by the professional job she did. IT WAS ACE!!! i will DEFINITELY go back to her for all of my alteration needs. read more

I taken multiple of shirts too Parvin..She has done nothing but a great job... All my shirts look and feel tailor made for me ..I would recommend her to anyone that need a shirt or jacket fit like it was custom made for you .. read more

I needed a knee-length Nanette Lepore dress brought up a few inches in the shoulders and taken in in the back. Parvin did an amazing job, and finished it a few days early too. I was running a bit late that day. Parvin had just pulled out of the driveway, but when she saw me, she turned around, reopened the shop, and gave me my dress. Highly recommend. read more

I brought (bring) ALL my True Religion Jeans here. The lady who helps me a very nice. She has my try on my jeans, then she makes her marks while I'm wearing them. They ALWAYS turn out fabulous. I just brought her a pair today. They recently moved a few blocks away from there previous place. The work she does, is EXCELLENT. I highly recommend them to new customers looking to make alterations to there clothes. read more

Never going anywhere else. I had a Sherri Hill heavily sequined dress that I thought would be impossible to alter for prom.. but she did an amazing job! read more

I took a pair of pants that were at least ten years old in to have hemmed and Parvin had them finished quickly and perfectly. I can't wait to bring in jeans to have them altered, seems when they fit in one place there's another place that needs altering. Glad I read the reviews, they were spot on! read more

I had a pair of slacks that needed to be altered, my waist is a 46, the pants were a size 40, and Parvin said that she could take it out all the way and that it would work; she had the completed this task within 2 weeks; when I returned, the pants were ready, I tried them on and to my amazement they fit, I was also very pleased by the fact that she had ironed the pants so I couldn't even tell that the pants had been altered; with that, I would say I'm impressed. read more

Preface to Yelp review: I bought a gorgeous pre-owned wedding dress that had two minor issues: 1. a tear in the back where the bustle loop was. 2. and a busted bustle loop. My dress that three tiny bustle loops in the back that attached to little hidden hooks at the waistline. The previous bride showed me what needed to be done to fix the dress. It was pretty minor. The fabric was a little tricky though, It was silk chiffon. Yelp Review: I brought my dress to Elegant Alterations based on the amazing Yelp reviews. I had just moved to Petaluma from Los Angeles so I had no reference as to where I should do the alterations on my dress. Based on the reviews, this looked like a charming small business run by a really nice lady. I took my dress in and explained the two issues. She said she could fix it and said the charge would be $87. Great. Done. I made sure to point out the bustle loops and hooks to her to ensure that she understood what I needed done. She said she'd fix it. I was really happy and excited to get my dress back. When I returned a few weeks later to pick up the dress, I tried it on, and she fixed the rip. It was kind of obvious where the rip was but she said nobody will notice because nobody will be looking there anyway. Great. Now on to the bustle. I asked about the loop and she looked confused. I re-explained to her the issue with the loop and she looked me straight in the face and told me that I never mentioned that to her. I kindly reassured her that I remember specifically pointing the loops out to her and asked her "Don't you remember me showing you?" She looked at me again, straight in the face as if anticipating an argument and told me again that I "never said that". In fact she repeated to me several times that I "never said that." I was a little offended. I would have understood if she said something like "No, I don't remember you saying that" or "I must have misunderstood" but to straight out, pretty much tell me that I'm lying to her about something that I was certain of, felt like a bit of an insult. Still, I asked very nicely what my options would be to get the bustle fixed. She looked at it and after a long song and dance about the fabric and the layers of chiffon, she basically told me she couldn't fix it. At that my point my patience was exhausted. I paid her and left. I needed to get my bustle fixed so I looked on Yelp again and found a lovely lady in Novato who looked at the alteration to the tear and was like "What happened here?" I explained the tear and how I got it fixed by a lady in Petaluma. She said it looked really bad and obvious. She felt so bad for me that she said she would fix it along with my bustle for no extra charge. I wish I had found this business in Novato first. What a waste of time Elegant Alterations was. If you just need a simple alteration like a hem or something, I'm sure Elegant Alterations is just fine. But from my experience, I, personally, will never return there and cannot recommend this place to anyone. My experience was horrible. read more

I really like this place and the woman who I assume owns it (Parvin?) is very sweet. However, I can't really go here anymore because the hours just don't work for me since they are only open during the time that I'm at work. Closing at 5:30 during the week and only being open a few hours on the weekend make it tough for me. I also find it frustrating that they only take cash (possibly checks?). These two major inconveniences are a bummer because I thought I had finally found a great tailor in Petaluma. That being said, if the limited hours and payment options are OK with you, I do recommend taking your stuff here. read more
