This review is long overdue…read more As someone who's petite, I've struggled for many years to find clothes that fit me just right. More times than I can count, I've had to return pieces I absolutely loved because they simply weren't made for my frame. Finding Hector has truly been such a blessing. He has tailored countless pieces for me, and every single one has fit perfectly. Instead of settling for clothes that "kind of" fit, I now get to wear pieces that make me feel confident, comfortable, and like the best version of myself. It's amazing how much a perfectly tailored outfit can completely change the way you feel. Beyond his incredible assistance, Hector is one of the kindest, most genuine, and professional people you'll meet. He is patient, detail-oriented, reliable, and truly takes pride in his work. He always takes the time to make sure everything fits exactly how you envision it, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and the quality of every piece he works on. I've trusted Hector with countless alterations over the years, and I'll continue to support him and recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional tailoring. It's rare to find someone who is not only incredibly talented but also so warm, humble, and dedicated to their craft. The photos I've attached are just a few of the many pieces he's tailored for me over the years, and I'm so grateful for every one of them.

Recently took my Alice bomber jacket to Blanca's Alteration Shop on Broadway, and I couldn't be…read morehappier with the results. I dropped it off on 03/13 and picked it up today--overall a quick and smooth turnaround. Hector assisted me throughout the process and made everything easy from start to finish. I had the body length of the jacket cropped by about two inches, which also required adjusting the zipper. The stitching came out incredibly clean and looks professional--you honestly can't even tell it was altered. On top of that, the price for the service was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the work. I left completely satisfied and will definitely be coming back for future alterations. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality tailoring. Cheers!

I absolutely love Chula Vista Taylor. There's such a welcoming, mom-and-pop feel to the shop that…read moreinstantly makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. The woman who runs it is amazing--while I don't know her name, I truly appreciate the care and attention she puts into every piece. She has done several alterations for me and my family, and every single one has turned out beautifully. She handled a formal dress for my daughter and delivered exactly what we asked for--it fit perfectly and looked stunning. She really listens and understands what you want, which makes all the difference. As someone on the shorter side, she's also altered multiple pairs of pants for me, always getting the length just right. On top of that, she repaired a zipper on a work sweater that had tricky stitching, and even fixed a pair of tailored dress shorts from EXPRESS that needed restitching. Everything came back looking like new. I'll continue to be a loyal customer of Chula Vista Taylor for as long as I'm living in the Southern California, San Diego area. It's so rare to find this level of skill, care, and consistency all in one place.

Highly recommend!

My dress needed the straps to be shorter and my slit was sewed since it was rather high. I also added sleeves to my dress and she did an amazing job! With the extra fabric, she offered to make two pocked squares as well. My sister and I had a very small window in which we needed alterations for her bridesmaid suit and my dress. They got them BOTH done so fast and the work was incredible. Aside from the work, they have great customer service which seems to be hard to come by these days. Highly recommend this place! Would definitely return. More info on cost: I paid $138 for the slit to be sewed, straps to be shorter, added sleeves, plus two pocket squares. My sisters alterations to her suit were nearly the same amount

I brought two old short sleeve shirts in for very small repairs but the owner grimaced and remarked…read moreabout how horribly they were damaged. "How did this ever happen??!", noticing a buttonhole that needed a small amount of repair. She automatically took the shirts and hung them up on her to-do rack making it somewhat uncomfortable for me to say thanks, but no thanks. It was then I wanted to know how much the bill would be, and she replied $24. I then grabbed the shirts off of her rack and bid her a good day. I have seen this same tactic used at different types of repair shops where the owner overly dramatizes what needs to be done and takes possession of the item prior to discussing the charge or getting approval. In sales that's called the assumptive close, where they act as though they assume you will approve the work and pay their price for the very minimal effort required. Don't fall for it. I have just now received a response from the lady's husband indicating that I must have visited a different shop and mistakenly thought I was in theirs. Absolutely not possible as I've been in several times in the past. Perhaps showing the shirts will refresh her memory and also defend my own. For full disclosure, the green shirt does have a small half-inch rip on the back side.
