Ms. O was great I called yesterday at 11 am to have a suit tailored for a last minute trip. She said no worries just bring it in and we will figure it out. It was me and another customer in the store so I know she had other people to help as well but she altered my suit for me and it was ready by 10 am today when they opened. Fit great, brining some more things back next week. She will be have been here for 26 years next month. Support your local business, especially when they are great. read more

I brought in 5 pairs of pants to be hemmed. The seamstress was warm and friendly throughout, and I appreciated that. Unfortunately, one pair came back with a noticeable unevenness. When I mentioned it in person, I was told there was no issue -- but when I got home and measured them myself, there was roughly a 1-inch difference between the two legs. For a $300 pair of pants I plan to wear for years, that's not something I can overlook. I wish the hems had simply been measured before being returned to ensure accuracy. I will have to take them elsewhere to be corrected. I hate leaving a critical review because she truly is a lovely person, but I won't be returning and unfortunately cannot recommend this place. I had planned to bring in an additional 10 pairs of pants, but after this experience I'll be taking my business elsewhere. A little quality control would go a long way. read more

Ophelia took care of my last minute tailoring. She was so gracious. Although I just needed the suit jacket tailored, she was able to do it within 2 days. With her busy schedule, she took care of my request with great precision. What great workmanship and such a gracious lady. Thank you Ophelia, you are the BEST!! read more

Beautiful work and great customer service. I highly recommend. I took my new silk Ulla Johnson gown in for alterations and she did a beautiful job. The fabric is so delicate and hemming it was no easy task. The workmanship was impeccable, not to mention the timely service and care that went into it. I will be bringing all future alterations here. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. I probably will never go to another location to get my clothes tailored again for as long as I live in Southern California, the lady who helped me was extremely kind and got my shirt wedding ready in just a couple of hours way faster than originally promised. Incredible service extremely kind peopl read more

What an amazing experience. The owner took the time to make sure the match the color of the thread was acceptable to me. She completed the repair quickly and was very knowledgeable. I was very impressed and will take all of my future tailoring to European Tailoring. read more

Terrific rushed service. My only advice is bring cash or a check as they dont take credit cards.

I met Ophelia after going to many local tailors who were either too expensive or couldn't do a quick turnaround. I was worried that she would be able to complete or is she did, quality would suffer. Just the opposite! We had a great experience and she and her team proved to be friendly and amazing to talk to. The interaction and final product proved to be amazing! I'll probably never use a different tailor locally. Thanks Ophelia! read more

Ofelia is the absolute best! I had two dresses that needed to be altered last minute (1 needed to be done within 48 hours and 1 within 24 hours) and she worked at night to make sure they were ready. And the results were above and beyond! She is so talented and really cares for her customers! I will never go to another tailor! read more

She did an excellent job, and such a quick turnaround! Won't be going anywhere else! Very kind service as well.

I came into town for a work party and noticed my dress was ripped. And I called and took it in and they are the most amazing people had it done in plenty of time for my party. My dress is new. Thank you so much. I highly recommend them very personable. read more

Incredible, hilarious, friendly and efficient. Could not recommend enough. I had a wedding on Thursday, came in on a Tuesday, and she didn't even blink an eye. She spent all night Tuesday night and altered literally everything to the highest degree! Again, cannot recommend enough. If you're in a jam, or even if you're not, she does quick and high quality work! Please support this business, there are not many like her left! read more

Ophelia took such good care of me, mending my pile of clothes that I brought to her. Her work is impeccable & pricing is very fair. She's my go-to gal! read more

Best tailor!! She is so quick and her work is meticulously perfect. Not to mention, very reasonably priced!

I had the pockets removed on 2 slacks and a dress hemmed. The hem is crooked and the cost was $75 !!! It's a creepy place. read more

We discovered this tailor via Yelp a couple years ago after moving to the area. Since then I've used them for multiple formal events (weddings), and the alterations have been high quality, efficient and fairly priced for bridesmaid attire as well as men's suiting. The owner is always very kind and provides excellent service. Most recently, I brought in a designer sweater that had a small hole due to my puppy swiping at me with her paws and the alpaca knit getting caught! I was devastated and unsure if it would be possible to fix. The owner said it wouldn't be a problem and when I came to pick it up, did not charge me anything since the repair was minor. This is a business owner who understands how to create customer loyalty! I am very grateful and have no reason to go anywhere else for future tailoring needs. read more

I went to the tailor today with my friend, they were very helpful and friendly. My family has been going to them for years and will continue to go back. They are good at tough complex and simple alterations. They charge at a reasonable price. They are very good and loyal to their customers. read more

Ofelia is a magician! I have used her for years and she has always done amazing g work on anything I've brought to her. This most recent time was a dress I tried on the say before leaving for a trip and realized it needed to be taken in. I knew it was asking a lot and a long shot that she would even be able to do it. But she came through and the dress ready for me the next morning! Amazing service and amazing work!!! read more

Sloppy basic hem job. Not sure what's going on here or why they have so many good reviews. Maybe they hired a new person and they're not good? I have no idea. read more

Ofelia is a gem. I bought a fancy Cult Gaia dress for a wedding in Cabo. It showed up completely see through. I brought it to another tailor in the area who refused to help me. But not Ofelia! She was an angel who did a remarkable job adding a lining. Super friendly, timely, and affordable. In the future, I will only ever go to her for all my tailoring needs! read more

European Tailoring & Alterations - Altered wedding guest dress - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Clemente, California

The best service in San Clemente! The woman that runs the place is the nicest lady of all time! I cannot recommend this place enough. I was turned down by another tailor in town because of the time I needed my suit done but not here! She saved the day. 10/10 read more

There is nothing better than having a really stressful day, crossing paths with an extraordinary person, and having that stress completely disappear. I was scrambling around this morning, kicking myself for procrastinating on getting ready for a wedding, and desperately trying to figure out what in the world I was going to do about my one baggy shirt, and long suit pants. I needed a same day alteration, but after calling 3 other local tailors, the situation was looking pretty grim. I felt doomed. The panic was really beginning to settle in. But all of that changed once I got on the phone with Olfelia!! I explained what I needed, and all she had to say was "When can you bring it in?" and "I'll see what I can do," which came as such a relief for me. Once I got there, I was even further relieved by her kind smile, and her lighthearted comments about my procrastination. I felt that I was in great hands. It's so special when you meet someone like her, because you can just leave your stress outside. Olfelia's here to gently chastise you (as she should) and everything's gonna be okay. I know so many other reviews talk about how amazing Olfelia is and how they had a really great experience with her incredibly fast, high quality, and affordable work, but I really truly feel like I gained a personal superhero with the way I was saved today. I'll happily be recommending this tailor to everyone I know because of how exceptional the service was. Besides that, there's just nothing like the personal touch of someone who really cares and wants to help you look your absolute best. To Olfelia: Thank you so much. The world is a better place because of people like you. read more

Took 3 pair of my husband's pants in to have buttons added for suspenders. I asked if that could be done in 2 days, and Olfelia agreed. They were done as promised. I will use them for any future tailoring needs. read more

This place is the best! Ophelia is a wonderful seamstress who always gets it done correctly. I have been using her for several years now. She even knew how to increase the chest size and arm sleeves on my son's, too tight, Pop Warner football jersey. She is a magician! FYI- She only accepts cash or check, no cards (debit or cc). Thankfully I had enough cash on hand. read more

So amazing!! They've done so many pieces for me, always coming out absolutely perfect. Also always so sweet. Thank you so much!

Last minute (like night before WOFO) my daughters dress zipper broke. She called several places and no one could help. The Lady who answered at European Tailor was so sweet and kind. She told my daughter to bring it in and she would try to get it fixed for for her. SHE DID!!We dropped it off that night and picked up the next day by 10:00 am. She stayed late and didn't even gouge her on the price. She even went above and beyond and steamed the dress. read more

Fantastic experience. Rapid service, open communication, great prices. Will be back. Thank you, Ophelia! read more

I have to say, very sloppy work. $200.00 jeans and the stitch now looks like crap. Slacks that were clearly not touched. Waste of my time going there and now I'm pissed off with what they gave me back. This is what $60.00 of work there looks like. Go somewhere else! read more

See all

Last month my son decided to go to homecoming last minute and the only suit we could find was too big for him. I brought the suit to Ophelia and she had the jacket and pants tailored and back to us within 24 hours and it looked gorgeous. I've been going here for years because they do a fantastic job and are always on time. Fabulous tailor and highly recommended!!! read more
