I came back today and it fit perfectly! I was so nervous since the dress was a lace material and I wasn't sure how difficult it would be to alter, but Nancy did amazing. Thank you!!

A…read morevery nice (and chic) woman greeted me and told me the work could be done; just to allow a couple of hours. Super! Upon my return, the patches were sewn on exactly where they needed to be and looked awesome! For this speedy work, I only had to pay $14 total. Since I don't sew, this is a great price. When I get the other patches to complete the outfits, I'm definitely coming back. By the way, there are some gorgeous embroidered scarves at the front counter. I didn't ask if they were for sale, but they may give an idea of the quality of work done there.

I was a loyal customer of Kim's for over 8 years. She handled countless alterations for me and was…read moreincredibly skilled, detail-oriented, and fairly priced. As a very petite shopaholic, I kept her busy, and she never disappointed. After Kim retired and sold the business, I decided to give the new owner a chance. Against my better judgment, I brought in a pair of $250 designer joggers to have the original hem shortened. I specifically paid extra to preserve the original hem. When I picked them up, I was shocked. The original jogger hem with the branded drawstring detail had been completely cut off and replaced with a basic flat hem. The owner admitted he couldn't find the pieces he removed and only located one of the original hem after searching. To his credit, he attempted to fix the damage, but I had to source the correct drawstring components myself and wait over two weeks for repairs. He reimbursed me for the materials, but that was the extent of it. I finally wore the pants for the first time, and the repaired drawstring immediately broke. Now the pants are essentially unusable. Mistakes happen, but this alteration permanently damaged an expensive garment that cannot be restored to its original condition. Please be cautious if you're bringing in specialty, designer, or high-end items. I won't be returning.

The tailor was very nice and eager to please. Since the place was under new management, we made sure to inquire about the pricing for hems, darts, tapering, etc., prior to leaving our garments. The prices appeared to be reasonable based upon industry standards. Since then we have been using this tailor for the past year and I also had a couple of custom projects that he was able to complete. I did have a few garments that needed to be readjusted and he did so without charge. If you have a rush, he can usually accommodate your request. On occasion there might be a bit of a language barrier, so I simply use the iPhone translate feature if necessary. Overall I would recommend this tailor.

However, because the dress was covered with lace and a unique bottom edge, the job was much more difficult. She managed to completely move the lace on the entire dress so that the bottom edge was preserved and so that it fit the length needed.

I highly recommend Trinh to any bride or for any other alteration need. She is so sweet and you can't beat the quality of her work and her prices.

I found Paulin online after moving to the area and needing alterations for my May wedding, and I'm so glad I did. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and truly brought my vision to life. She altered my dress so it fit like a glove, taking precise measurements and making sure every detail was perfect. She also went above and beyond with my bustle, adding multiple secure buttons so I didn't have to worry about it coming undone during the reception. I also asked her to create a pocket handkerchief out of the extra fabric from my wedding dress as a special gift for my dad to wear on the wedding day, and it turned out beautifully. The total cost for all of my alterations plus the custom handkerchief was under $600, which I thought was an amazing price--especially with how quickly wedding expenses add up! Paulin was wonderful from start to finish, and I would absolutely recommend her to any East County or San Diego bride. She is worth the drive!

The man who owns this place was combative and mean! I've been going here for many years for hemming…read moremy families jeans, always dealing with the woman (wife?) Ive had no issues...until now. Weeks ago I brought in ten pair of jeans for my two teens. The woman told me there was no need for any trying on except one pair each and she'd hem all pairs based on that. I asked her to allow my kids to try each pair on as we've always done because each pant is different in style. She wouldn't allow that and insisted one pair pinned would be ok. I was reluctant but she insisted. Two weeks later we picked up and one kids pants were fine but the other, all five pair were 3 inches too long still and the written tag said "shorten to 28"." We took them back and the man (husband?) was pretty aggressive insinuating it was our fault they'd need to be redone. He took a yard stick and measured my sons inseam and it was 25"...not 28". He said his wife had been getting ready to leave town for a wedding and must've made a mistake on them. No problem, I was kind and gave him no timeline to repair them. I thanked him profusely and left. Today my son and I picked them up and the man met me with "she said it was your sons fault not hers, he asked for that length." What?! Why not just hand them to me and say have a good day?! I paid A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOLLARS for ten pairs of jeans to be hemmed. They were not done correctly by a professional and at pick-up you're going to look at my 14 year old and say "it's your fault!" Who's the professional?! Who's the one tasked with the pin that was placed?! Not the child! The yard stick doesn't lie! I called the man out on his gas lighting accusation at my son standing there and he got loud and began yelling, telling me to just get out. Their prices have DOUBLED but I paid it. I expected that the professional knew what she was doing and when there was a mistake, I expected it corrected. My son should not have been blamed at the counter for the fact that his pants were returned several inches too long, nobody asks for pants to be so long they can't walk. It was a mistake, just fix it! The yard stick showing 25" inseam vs the tags saying "shorten to 28" don't lie. Yelling at women, a child and customers in general isn't a good business practice. I will tell those I know to follow me elsewhere. I believe it was an honest mistake just due to having two different sized kids with two different hemming needs. My other sons were hemmed to a perfect 28" as he asked. I believe she did the same hem to both sets instead of the 28" and 25" that was needed. Her husband was mad and I think she blamed us so he wouldn't yell at her (I don't blame her!) Again, his yard stick and my tape measure along with the written tag she created...don't lie. Even if it is the customer's error, good practice is to just fix it in order to keep a customer who's been coming in for probably 8-10 years now! We will never go back, this man is a bully in my opinion. I am including photos of the fixed pants at the proper 25" inseam and the tag saying "shorten to 28". I'm also including my son's measured inseam showing how long 28" would be, nobody asks for that...it's the point of hemming! The error was not ours and we did not deserve to be told we were trying to scam this man, get free fixes and screamed at being told to just get out. Funny thing is, I had a $20 tip for him in my hand too for a mistake that was theirs! He didn't get it SHAME ON YOU SIR!
