I came to Elegante Tailoring to have a dress taken in in the bust area. I came in, was greeted right away, tried on the garment and had it pinned to my satisfaction before leaving the dress for the tailor to work her magic. I returned in one week and tried on the garment again and it fit perfectly! I am very happy with the work and I felt that the price for alteration was very reasonable. The shop states clearly that they only take cash or check when you drop off the garment so I was prepared when I came back to pick it up. I will likely use Elegante Tailoring again! read more

I lost weight and no matter how many expensive bathing suits I purchased and even tried a size smaller, I could not get the bottoms around the back of my butt to cup my older skinnier butt and hold it up! Tina removed the original elastic on the back part of the bathing suit bottom and made it fit perfectly! I could not be happier and she did a beautiful job! I used to sew a lot, but haven't in a while and didn't feel comfortable reworking my MiracleSuit at $250 a suit any longer, so took them to Tina and I am so happy. If you are thinking of using this tailor shop, just know they do really professional job and are reasonably priced for such nice work...Thank you Tina! read more

I recommend this place for any type of alterations. She did a great job on my mother-of-the-bride gown and she charged me a very reasonable price. I definitely come back for all and any alterations that you need. read more

I was looking for a dress to be hemmed with a few other slight alterations. I came across this place and decide to come in based off of reviews. The owner was very straightforward with me, and discussed everything that she would do to the dress, including the price. I picked up the dress, and all of the alterations looked good except that I forgot my shoes, so I couldn't tell if the length was right. However, since we originally measured the length to cut with the heels that I would be wearing with the dress, I assumed that the length was fine. When I got home and tried it on with the heels, it was still a tiny bit too long. Seriously, no idea how that ended up happening, but she did say I could come in and she would fix at no charge. I appreciated that, but I had already committed my time to helping out the bride with errands. I didn't have time to come back another two times. I hoped that it had been right from beginning. Prices start at $80 for hemming a dress, which she did inform me about. However, after talking to other bridesmaids and friends at the wedding I felt that that may have been a bit much. Also, this place is CASH OR CHECK ONLY. A sign somewhere stating that in the store or online would be a dream. My dress was done on time, and steamed, so very happy about that. Lastly, I recommend asking the owner about her schedule and plan accordingly if you need something for an event. I went in the first time based off of the hours online and they were wrong, so I had google edit the hours. However, google maps gives you a different set of hours, and Yelp says something else. I know they close at 5pm during the week, but I'm not sure what time they open. The owner may close early or on certain days without much notice so always call ahead before you head over. Might be misleading if you're going off of what the internet says, so hopefully you read this first. The owner is very nice, but I'm giving 3 stars due to the hours and payments accepted not being communicated properly, and because my dress was not hemmed perfectly on the first try, although I'm not sure how that happened. read more

I just had a dress altered by the seamstress, Tina. It was made of a delicate fabric, and we both were a little worried about taking some darts in the bust area and not have them show too much... Tina did an amazing job! They are nearly invisible and the dress fits perfectly. What before looked so "baggy," now fits as it should and is so flattering! The work was done professionally, reasonably priced, and on time. What more could you ask? read more

My mom has been going to Tina for as long as I can remember. I needed a Bridesmaid dress made shorter, so I went to her. I was driving around Gateway Center forever, and finally looked up directions on Yelp. She is now on the other side of Fabricante. Super helpful to know :) I had a pair of jeans also taken up, as they were "Tall" and way too long for me, even at 5'7". The jeans are a PERFECT length, and so is my Bridesmaid dress. I didnt try either item on when I picked them up, and probably should have, but they were both the exact length I needed. She accepts CASH or CHECK ONLY. read more

I needed a bridesmaid dress taken out and was worried I waited to long to get it altered- I was wrong. She was able to have it ready in 4 days, which was much sooner than I even needed! It fit perfect! She did such a great quick job I've now had her do other items I've needed tailored. Dress alteration was $140 & hemming my extra wide length pants were $25 but regular pants I believe are $17 read more

Tina is awesome! She helped tailor some dresses from my mom and I. She was very fair in her pricing and extremely efficient. We went back several times to make sure everything was tailored to perfection. Highly recommend!! read more

I needed to be professionally measured for a custom dress, and they were able to fit me in the same day I called. They were thorough, professional, and friendly. I would definitely come back for future services! read more

My husband had his military uniform altered and I thought that we are probably going to purchase a new one, but my husband insisted on having it done. To my surprise the owner did an excellent job. She saved us a lot of money. She actually adjusted the jacket to make it fit, a miracle worker ! What an excellent job she did. Definitely going back to this place again. read more

Besides Tina being an extraordinarily sweet person, she is just as awesome at her craft. I took a bridesmaid dress to her in tears... there was no way it was going to fit. Today, it fits like a glove and the work was done flawlessly. Go Tina! If you have any kind of tailoring needs, this should be your go to place. Pricing is very very reasonable as well. read more

I've had 5 outfits tailored here and she does an incredible job every time. She is timely, reliable and has fair pricing for her impressive work. She had hemmed bridesmaid dresses, taken in clothes, hemmed beaded clothes and sequined jumpsuit, and took a bridesmaid dress 2 sizes too big down to fit me. I'm so glad I found her, highly recommend! read more

Love the owner!! Sweet and such fast service! I've sent all my friends to her. She only takes cash or check so be ready

Closed until May 2nd. Should have called first. After searching online to find a tailor and deciding to try this place and waiting until Tuesday which is when their business hours are open... I drive out here to find a note that their business is closed for vacation until May 2nd. Please call this business ahead of time before coming this way. read more

Elegante Tailoring - Should have called first. They are now closed until Tuesday May 2. I think they meant thru Tuesday? - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Beyond happy with the quality of workmanship and service we received. Tina was wonderful and knows her craft well, she guided us through what she thought from a professional opinion should and could be done to a dress and it came out beautiful, I will never go anywhere else again. read more

Tina did a great job altering my dress & in a very timely fashion. I was a little bummed because she ended up charging me $10 more than I was quoted when I originally dropped off my dress.. because I think at the time she quoted she didn't realize there was more to the dress. Overall, I was happy with the job she did, but I did feel as though it was pricey.. but then again this is one of the first times I've had something tailored so I'm not really sure what's comparable. read more

The lady (didn't get to ask her name) who mainly works here is nice and professional and the work is great. I came to her with a bridesmaids dress that was almost 2 sizes to big and almost 6 inches too long. She was able to help me raise the hem line, pull int the sides, pull up the waist line so it all fit to a T! The price was reasonable for the amount of work I had to have on the dress. I'll come here if I have major adjustments needed in the future. read more

Brought in two real fur jackets that are from the late 40s/early 50s. The lining of the mink was coming apart and overall the jacket just needed some love. The other jacket needed a giant repair...one of the kittens got a claw-hold of the back somehow and ripped a 3" jagged patch off the back. Fortunately I found the piece he was playing with. Brought it in and the repair job was flawless. Also the price was ridiculously low, and Tina did it in less than 24 hours!! She knew I needed it for a Christmas party and she herself was leaving town, but she got it done. I do believe I will go to her for ALL of my tailoring needs. One very happy customer. Cheers... Stacee read more

Best tailoring and alterations anywhere in the County! Tina is always on time and her work is always perfect! I would not go anywhere else. Thank you Tina! read more

IF YOU HAVE EXPENSIVE JEANS THAT NEED TAILORING THIS IS THE PLACE!!! What can I say, coming here was the best decision. I own a pair of Levis 501 selvadge vintage jeans that I previously had length adjusted from a dry cleaners and I needed the bottom half of legs to be taken in. I googled Jean tailor shop and this came up. I called and a kind Vietnamese lady answered and quoted me $15 for jeans. So I came in and upon arrival was suprised to how small the place is. When she came out she told me to try the jeans on. When she measured me she told me that both legs are uneven and asked who hemmed my jeans. I told her a local dry cleaner in Irvine and she laughed and told me to never go to those places for adjustments. So she offered to re-do the length as well and I agreed. I told her I wanted my length to be 32 and bottom half of jeans to be taken in 1 inch. She measured me, adjusted lengths with pins and told me to take them off and they will be done in 4 days. She also quoted me $40 for everything so I told her these jeans are expensive and please be exact. Upon receiving the jeans not only did she tailor them the way I wanted, they fit perfect as if it came out the factory tailored. I was so pleased and tipped her an additional $10 on top of the $40 she asked for. I will post pics soon but if you really want to trust a tailor with your expensive jeans or anything else for that matter, she is the one! I will be coming here from now on for all my expensive clothes! read more

Tina is the best! I go to her for everything. She's super sweet and goes above and beyond when I'm in a bind or have no idea what I need done. She has handled all my special event dresses, including my second dress for my wedding. Highly recommended. read more

Super friendly and reasonable prices. She sewed on all of my daughter's Daisy patches and petals. She did a wonderful job. My daughter is very happy with how her vest turned out. We will definitely be back and recommend her to others. read more

I chose this business thinking it must be better than alteration services in dry cleaners. I believe I was right. She hemmed a pants and fixed a tear on my leather jacket. I am very happy with the results. Her price was reasonable as well. read more

We love Tina! My wife has been going to her for 20+ years! From altering my Armani tux to sewing a patch on my gi, we entrust Tina with everything. She is fantastic, and I cannot imagine going anywhere else. read more

I took a dress for a wedding to get altered here. I went to pick it up the week before the wedding, during normal business hours to find a sign on the door saying they are on vacation for the next 3 weeks. No emergency number was left, and I know for a fact she took down my phone number, and didn't think to call me. Now I'm out over $200 in dress, shoes, and accessories that I had bought 2 months ago for this wedding. Incredibly disappointing. read more

I'm sad to say that I have never been able to try Elegante Tailoring. Every time I have gone by they have a sign stating they're gone for X amount of days. Every time I call no one picks up, most likely for the same reason. Either the hours posted are for show or they must not really need the business. To the consumers who've left great reviews, you had me convinced to try this tailor, sadly I never will now. I finally moved on and went a few streets over to another tailor shop. These people are ALWAYS there. read more

Tina is very sweet and excellent at what she does. I took a bridesmaid dress in that was too big and she took it in and hemmed it to perfection in just a week. I'll definitely be back for difficult alterations :) She is only open Mon-Fri, and did give me a heads up about when she was going to be closed for a few weeks for vacation. read more

Tina is the best! She is so nice and so talented, I won't go anywhere else. I have brought her a couple of really difficult and complicated projects (multiple hem lines on a multi-layered dress, altering a dress while simultaneously maintaining the colorblock...) and she tackles them with ease! Her pricing is very fair, and she always has my clothes ready the same week. Would recommend her to anyone! read more

It was prom season and the procrastinator that I am, I was having problems finding a good seamstress to hem my daughters dress. I came across Elegant Tailoring after a Google search and I'm so glad i did, Tina was so sweet and willing to help even with a tight deadline. My daughter was a little nervous as she had decided to wear flats under her floor length dress and was hoping for a perfect hem to show off pretty sandals and pedicure. Tina delivered a perfect hem and steamed the dress beautifully. She's professional, caring and was pleased that we were so happy. I believe that taking pride in your work breeds positive feedback and Tina is a great example of that. We will be back! read more

She was amazing! Friendly, professional, and finished my dress on time for the wedding. She even suggested a perfect fix for a pleating issue on the dress. Thank you! read more

Tina was referred to me by a friend and boy did I make a good decision going to her. I came to Tina with 7 completely different issues on my clothing and she was happy to fix them all in just a few days. when I got back and tried everything on, each piece was fixed to perfection at an extremely reasonable price. Please go to Tina!!! read more

Absolutely a professional. Have been with Tina for years & never had she let me down. Give her sufficient time to do the best work and it will be done. Good things can't be rushed. read more

Tina (owner and seamstress) is so friendly and welcoming. I took a bridesmaid dress here not knowing if what I wanted done to the dress was possible. She was able to hem the dress, make the chest area smaller, and let the seem out in the rib cage so it was not as tight. Completed in 1.5 weeks for $80. Being a first time customer, I am very pleased with her work and glad that I now have someone close by that I can trust to do excellent work. I would definitely recommend Tina to friends and family. read more

Wow... phenomenal work done by Tina. I came here after a tailor further down Alicia made it seem like I was a bother for him to take my measurements. I needed some dress pants taken in at the leg and crotch, as they were much too baggy, and Tina did amazing work. I know price is an issue for many, but you absolutely get what you pay for here. Happy to have found someone who cares so much about her quality of work. I know I can trust all my professional clothes with her. read more

I had a great experience here - I needed a bridesmaid dress altered and she had it done very quickly and for a great price. She even stayed past closing when I picked it up because I was running late. Will definitely return here for any future alterations I need! read more

She is awesome!! Did a fantastic job on my daughter's prom dress and even fixed the zipper!! Reasonable prices and is prompt on doing the job!! She was recommended on a Facebook group and I am not disappointed! I have taken something else to her already!! I will be back!! She is awesome!!!! read more

I went here to get my prom dress altered and she did a fantastic job. I needed to have my dress hemmed and have straps created from the extra fabric on the bottom. I was worried about whether it would turn out okay but it looked wonderful. She did a great job and it looked even better than I had imagined. read more

After another place charged us $120 for an alteration on a dance costume, I searched for another tailor and found Tina; I have been going to her for many years now. She is an absolute perfectionist and I've never been disappointed with her work. Her pricing is very fair and the work is always done when promised. Now if I find something I love but it doesn't fit quite right, I buy it anyway and have Tina work her magic. She's very nice too; always so pleasant when you walk in. read more

Tina is awesome! She's been making alterations and repairs for me and my family for years. She does excellent work! I've not been disappointed yet. She doesn't take credit cards though, so be prepared to pay with cash or a check. I'll have to tell her about Square next time I'm in. ;) But seriously, you will not be disappointed with her work. She's amazing! read more

I came to see Tina at Elegante Tailoring to get my daughters prom dress altered. I've been using this tailor for two years now and can't say enough about her work. We don't come here for the standard hem, although she can do that as well, but usually we bring in more complicated alterations. This time we needed the shoulder straps shortened, the waist cinched in and overall making the dress smaller including taking in the seam down the back from waist to floor. We picked up her dress today and the work is amazing. The work is so clean it doesn't appear as though the dress has been altered. Her prices are reasonable and her customer service is pristine. I've used other nearby tailors in the past but Tina's work and prices are by far the best around! read more
