I cannot say enough great things about Shelly and Dressing Up! My wedding dress was pretty…read morecomplicated--with intricate beading, multiple layers, and a tricky length--but Shelly handled it all with such skill and care. She transformed my dress to fit me like it was custom-made, and I felt absolutely amazing in it! What really stood out was how reasonable her pricing was. While other places quoted me outrageous amounts because of how complex the dress was, Shelly was incredibly fair. She genuinely believes that brides shouldn't have to pay a fortune for alterations, and that mindset is so refreshing and appreciated. Her work is meticulous, her attitude is kind and supportive, and the entire experience was stress-free. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and knows what they're doing, I highly recommend Shelly and Dressing Up! I definitely have recommended her to a lot of my other bridal friends! I will definitely be coming back to her for more tailoring needs!

I began my alterations with Shelley back in February 2020, when my original wedding date was May…read more2020. We were so close to finishing our alterations until I had to postpone the wedding once the pandemic started. At that time, Shelley kindly offered to hold onto my two dresses at her place. After a year, once weddings slowly started resuming, I reached out and told her I would pick it up to make room for her other clients, and she left detailed notes inside my garment bag so that we'd know where we had left off, and how much of the fees had already been paid. I reached out to her assistant in January 2022, and was easily able to resume where we left off with alterations. And I finally just got married late February !! By the way, the fees that Shelley charges are absolutely reasonable and probably the lowest you could find anywhere! Best of all, Shelley is so kind and funny, and made me feel so comfortable every time I came to visit. She knows her stuff, and does great, honest work. Both of my dresses were hemmed and tailored so well, and I'm so grateful for her.

Very bad experience today in the shoe department at Macy's. I was trying to pay part of my purchase…read morewith a gift card and the rest with another payment method, but my items ended up getting scanned twice and it turned into a huge waste of time. It honestly seemed like some employees were not properly trained to handle something as basic as a split payment. On top of that, several employees appeared more focused on laughing and talking than helping customers professionally. To make things worse, the signature/payment devices were not working properly, and there was no manager available to help resolve the situation. Overall, a very unprofessional experience

May this place never die. I've been coming here via my friend since we were kids in the 1900's…read more Recently visited because my friend was looking for a Nine Inch Nails shirt. It's still a small store but it has all the goth goods you need in a pinch. There were Nine Inch Nails shirts but only a few designs that my friend wasn't interested in. The owner or shop keeper was talking it up with some kids at the register. Reminds me of the good old days when going to certain stores was a cool experience and Ipso is one of them. They are located on the west side of Harbor Blvd, north of Chapman and in the heart of downtown so there's plenty of restaurants and eateries to choose from and walking distance to the train station and if you want to catch the bus, it's on the same street as Disneyland, just a half hour south on Harbor.

I'm going through the racks and looking at all the dresses at which point the owner woman comes up to me and ask me if I need help and I describe what I'm looking for and she of course knows her store and what she carries in-store. Wanting to make a sake she says that there is no dress like that there but she can help me order one I told her I would need it the day of. She asks me if its for my mom, to which I say "no, it's for me". Her face is in disgust which then turns to laughing at me in ridicule. My friend who had come to help me, Mikey, than said to her that I'm very pleasing to the eye and if I want to see a photo. "Oh god, please no" is her answer. I may have crossed a line when I looked at her and said "I hope all your dresses burn down". Homophobia. It's not cute, DAHHLLLINNGG

I can't really knock the service, the lady behind the counter really did try her best. More so then…read moreanywhere else I've been. And let's face it, dressing a fat woman is hard to do. But their dresses are cheaply made and even the woman who worked there admitted they ran small. In most stores I wear a size 22, which is about a 2X, but their 2X would be more like a 16 or smaller. Even their 4 and 5 Xs didn't fit me. One was too big, the other wouldn't zip up. I can understand the dressing room rules, especially the part about men not standing around them - there's no doors, just curtains, and pull as I would, there was still an inch gap on either side. In the end I felt bad because I left with nothing. However, what could I do? Most dresses didn't fit. The ones that did were so huge even on a fatty like me I could've fit an average size woman in there with me. One thing I don't get, and even the saleswoman agreed with me that it made no sense, why do formal dresses always have to be sleeveless? A lot of women, both skinny and fat, should not show their arms. I guess if I dropped more weight I could fit into their 4X, but at this time, I guess I'm stuck with having to have the dress I need custom made because this was the only store I've found that carried formal dresses that actually looked like formal gowns. (Even Nordstroms has failed me recently.) But their idea of a 2X is just too small.

I am so fortunate to have found Dorie/L'Mode! I was searching for emergency alterations, found this…read morebusiness in close proximity to me, and had a good feeling based off the positive reviews and detailed website. Dorie is so kind and accommodating. She was responsive over text, saw me very soon after I reached out, and finished my dress beautifully with the 2 week time frame she was given before the ceremony! I picked a dress from Lulus online and needed hemming, sleeves and bust adjusted, waist seam hidden, the sides let out, zipper replaced, a bustle added, and the dress has 3 layers. The pricing is detailed on the website and I expected to pay for the amount of work done in and in such a short amount of time. I am so satisfied with how my dress came out - it fit like a glove and made me feel beautiful, so any pricing felt worth it to me. Dorie is clearly an expert who loves her craft! Plus she has such a fun personality. Thank you again! Photo credit: Blanca Ayala/Let's Build Memories

I booked a consultation to hem and bustle my wedding dress with Dorie. When I arrived she had me…read moreput the dress on, then immediately began pinning it to hem and bustle with no conversation about what I wanted or what it would cost. When they finished pinning, they asked me to dress and then we finally discussed price. I was quoted $800 and was asked to prepay in full, in cash or check. This was not mentioned before the appointment at all. When I said I was not ready to pay today, she showed me other clients' pre-paid invoices to encourage me and let me know that this is what she asks of everyone. I ended up leaving my dress with her and had to set a time to come back and drop off the cash. I talked with my mom about what happened on my way home from the appointment, as I felt a bit uneasy about what had just happened and she agreed with me. So, I contacted Dorie to tell her I'd like to come pickup my dress to get other quotes for the alterations. I stated I could come at our already scheduled time or sooner. What followed was several days of pushback, with messages about how many brides come back to her, screenshots of 5-star reviews, offers of a discount (which was not mentioned before) a "sleep on it, relax" message, and a follow-up offering to split payment in half (which I asked about and had been told that was not an option, it was prepay only). I picked up my dress without incident, there was another bride there so Dorie's husband helped me get my gown back into the garment bag. I thought that was that but received another review screenshot two days later, at which point I blocked her number. Too much of a hard sell for me. I've since found another seamstress who did a full consultation with me discussing price and options to figure out what I liked best, and making sure I did want to go forward with her services, before putting a single pin in my gown. This is what I was expecting to have happen with Dorie based on all the great reviews but that was not my experience.

Long overdue review…read more They made a custom suit for my dad for my October 2024 wedding. In addition Eddie did the alterations on my wedding dress (taking in the bust, lining up the lace detail and adding a bustle) which both turned out amazing. Some key things we took away and appreciate about the service provided was the effective communication, professional and patience the staff had with me and my father. Picking out a suit and the fabric was not easy but the process was enjoyable and the outcoming was top notch! Highly recommend Premium Suit Bespoke Tailor!!!

There's nothing like a well-tailored suit!…read more I'm not a regular suit wearer, so the last suit I owned was bought many years ago off the rack, and now it doesn't fit (it never fit right, really). I was in the market for a new suit for multiple uses and up-coming events and came across Premium Suit Bespoke Tailors on Yelp with many great reviews. I called to make an appointment to check out a few options and get a quote. From the moment I entered the store to the final fitting and pick-up, the Premium Suit Bespoke Tailors staff were attentive and focused on ensuring my satisfaction with the suit and the process. They took the time to understand my preferences from the beginning. I also had one of my shirts tailored to my current size and style. Everything was completed on time, and the price was reasonable for the quality of service, tailoring, and suit. I would come back for any of their services and highly recommend them!! Thanks again, PSBT! Shout out to Eddie, Jacey, and the rest of the staff!
