    Southern California Renaissance Fair -my beautiful costume
    Stacey G.

    Total 5 star! I bought a Renaissance dress on line but it badly needed altering! I saw the reviews on Yelp glad I came to the shop! My dress was beautiful and I had loads of compliments at the Faire! I will definitely continue to use this shops service!

    Long gown turned into a mini dress
    Maura H.

    Erna is fantastic. I came to her in a rush to get my wedding dress altered - and even threw her a curveball, asking her to completely change another dress I owned. She raised the hem of my gown perfectly, the straps were just the right fit, and she was so game to turn my other dress from a long gown into a mini. Erna is the real deal, and got it all finished so swiftly. Couldn't recommend her more!

    This is a dress hemmed for length (dress next to redhead). It was perfect!

I explained in detail, over and over again, I need the items done by the promised date of the following Wednesday or it will result in a total disaster as I need the items for an event. I stated that if you cant absolutely guarantee a finish date of the following Wednesday I will find someone else as it's that important the work is timely. I even offered to pay extra to have the work done sooner, but was assured the items would be ready the following Wednesday. The following Wednesday came and went. On Thursday afternoon I called and was given several conflicting reasons why the work had not been performed and told the work would require another week to complete. I said forget it! I will pick up the items and find someone else as the time is now too short. The person on the phone informed me my shirt and pants were not even at their establishment and couldn't pick them up. A big red flag was that the person I gave my clothes to asked me if I wanted to pay in advance. I said no, however, if prepaying causes the work to be performed sooner I will pay now. Never heard back from anyone until I called them eight days later. Finally, being they don't have my clothes in their possession (?) , I now cant pick up my clothes, get my money back and go someplace for the work and now stuck with these clowns. I have absolutely zero confidence this is going to be resolved. Lets see if they can even find my clothes or correctly do the alterations. Total flakes. Totally unreliable. Go someplace else and never, ever pay first. All paying first does is project that you the customer are one to be taken advantage of, or will be unfazed with getting screwed in a mindless runaround.

I'm sure she's an…read moreamazing seamstress for other garments, but I would advise against specifically bringing your WEDDING DRESS here. I brought my wedding dress in here to have the length altered and to add a bustle. Maybe I was too naive and trusting, but I gave her permission to do the bustle as she pleased since I trusted her expertise. She quoted me $350 which was an amazing price! My qualm, however, is with the quality of the alterations I received. She did an American bustle on my dress, which just made me look like I had a diaper on. When I brought up my concerns, she just brushed them off. I had to bring my dress to another seamstress to re-do the bustle, where I also found out that the bottom seam of the dress was entirely uneven. I am receiving a $50 refund for the failed bustle but when I brought up the uneven length to her, she completely dismissed my concerns and hung up the phone on me. So now I'm stuck paying an additional $400 to get the SAME, EXACT alterations at a different location. If you're looking for a seamstress in the Pasadena/San Marino area, then I highly recommend Perfect Fit Design & Alterations! They're extremely knowledgeable!

I went to fashion cleaners bc I got a coupon in the mail for 20% off, but after going I feel like their prices are over inflated to offset the coupons they mail / what's on their website. Coupons are great when they actually lead to savings lol. But yes I came in because of the targeted marketing so good for them. It worked. Overall the experience was nice. Decent parking even though the lot can get packed I never had an issue finding a spot. The people who took my clothes and gave them back when my clothes were ready were nice enough. There's nothing amazing about this location to me and the price leaves more to be desired tbh. $26/dress for dry cleaning feels like highway robbery... but maybe idk current dry clean prices and I'm being a cheapskate?! Idk. But for now I've no reason to go back.

    My experience with Concierge Cleaners was awful. I found them to be incompetent, dishonest and…read moreunwilling to reimburse for clothes they ruined. Here is why: Our home was damaged in the Eaton Fire. Our clothes were smoke damaged and had to be professionally cleaned. Our remediation company recommended Concierge Cleaners. In hindsight, I suspect they got a kickback "Shane," (as he calls himself, is apparently the owner of Concierge Cleaners) picked up the hundreds of items to be cleaned. We were unable to live in our house for months, so the transfer of clothes was chaotic. After numerous requests, "Shane" finally gave an estimate which was far less than the amount ($2,533) that they ultimately billed. Among the clothes Concierge took were several expensive coats and suits. We obviously expected them to by dry cleaned. Instead, Concierge threw them in the wash with the underwear and t-shirts. Literally, they were put in a washing machine which ruined the fine wool, then put in a dryer which shrank them. Then they were tightly folded and wrapped with the laundry. The suits and coats were obviously ruined. When we informed "Shane" what happened we assumed he would act professionally and offer to compensate for the damage. When mistakes happen people with integrity take responsibility. But integrity is not "Shane's" strong suit. First he denied ever having the suits and coats. Then he claimed they could be fixed by dry cleaning them. That did not work since the fabric was already ruined and the suits shrunk two sizes. I told "Shane" we would be satisfied if Concierge paid just a fraction of the cost of replacing the suits. We have a lot going on trying to make our house habitable after the fire and don't have time to mess with an incompetent and dishonest dry cleaner. Unfortunately, Shane stopped responding and is now unreachable. So now we have to haul this clown into small claims court to get him to pay for the damage he caused. I have lived in the Pasadena area a long time and know there are good and reputable dry cleaners. Concierge is not one of them. If you want someone who does not know that fine wool suits have to be dry cleaned, lies about what happened to your clothes, and refuses to compensate you when he ruins your best clothes, then you will love "Shane" and Concierge Cleaners.

    Armeene saved my wedding day!…read more I originally bought my dress from a local bridal shop that promised many customizations. They phoned it in for all of them. Sloppy work for everything. Some of it was ignorable or blended in enough to ignore, but specifically a belted area around the waist ended up noticeably sloppy and wider than I wanted. They made a bunch of excuses and shooed me out the door. I couldn't even look at the dress without being mad - not a great wedding day vibe. Armeene came to my rescue with only two weeks left until the wedding! She was clear with me that it would be difficult to pull off - the dress was constructed in a way that made the customization difficult (why did the dress shop even promise it?? Ugh). Not only did she and her assistant understand exactly what I wanted and pull it off nearly perfectly, they did it in only two days for a price that I found to be more than fair!! I will forever be grateful to her. The next time I need some pants hemmed or altered I'm heading her way again! I've attached some before and after pictures to show the magic!

However, Armeene did a beautiful job and was reasonably priced! If you choose to have her alter your wedding dress, you'll know your dress will be in good hands. Also, she is incredibly friendly and has such a lovely personality. I greatly enjoyed working with her! Now onto what I got done. I knew when I bought my dress that I wanted a few things to happen: close or hide the trending deep V in the front, add detachable straps (I ordered them from the bridal studio), and take in the bust. I also need some regular alterations, hemming the dress, bustle, and taking it in a bit. She made all the changes happen and they looked absolutely amazing! I was very happy with how it turned out. I knew my dress wasn't an easy one to alter since she'd have to remove and replace the appliqué on it throughout the process, but she did an incredible job! I would recommend her to any bride who needs alterations!
