Blown away by the care and thoughtfulness. Gary's is my new go to for mending all my clothes.

Gary tailored a suit and a shirt for me last minute for a wedding. He did an amazing job and quite reasonable for the amount of work he had to do. The suit looked great, . And felt so comfortable! He is talented! Got the recommendation from Walgrove school parents. I highly recommend using him. read more

This is far and away the best tailor on the west side. Bespoke tailoring at a great price with unmatched customer service and family-owned. My son had some jeans that needed repairs and others that needed shortening before a big trip and they went out of their way to accomodate us. They lost the original location in the Palisades Fire and I'm so happy to see they found a new location on the westside read more

I always go to this place to alter my new jeans or pants. They do original hem very well, the price is awesome, and the lady is super nice highly recommend! read more

The best!! Nicest lady, I only go here. Couldn't recommend a tailor more and been to tons of others. Love it here

A great local resource. Reasonable prices, friendly service and a good seamstress who aims to please.

That Lady is constantly updating, repairing or mending something. Esther has been doing sweaters, pants, suits, shirts and everything else over the years. Her work lasts and is as neat and tidy as it comes. The moth holes just disappear. She has done Scouting patches, mended a coat and let my seams out on my tux. Esther is a whiz. Plus she makes that Lady happy! read more

Always a pleasure! Highly recommended. Been coming here for years for Boy Scout uniforms, prom dress alterations etc.

A bit hard to find above Palisades Pizza but absolutely worth going to. Great work and she knows where all the Boy Scout patc read more

See all

They really helped me with sewing repair on a fine silk garment. Excellent work and excellent service!

This place did the worst alteration work I've ever seen Avoid this business She had no idea how to shorten sleeves in my jacket even after two tries. Same scenario with a simple zipper repair She finally admitted that she farms out much of her alteration work. I took my clothes back from her without giving her a THIRD try to get these very basic alterations done correctly read more

I have taken my things to Gary's for over 10 years. Ester has always helped me. She is closed on Saturdays and open on Sundays. She moved recently to 860 Via de la Paz st.D5 on the third floor. There is easy under ground parking next to Toppings. She has tailored at least 60 items for our family over the years. She helps everyone at Boy Scouts get the patches on correctly and the St Matthew's sports patches on the sweatshirts. She has found me buttons to match, replaced zippers that are broken and even done alterations on my long gowns for black tie events. She is wonderful to work with, and we are lucky to have her in the Palisades. read more

I believe in local business, but there are limits. I've used them twice, both times to replace a zipper on a pair of jeans. The first time, they lied. Didn't replace the zipper, just put it back on its track - and CHARGED me as if they had replaced the zipper....Now, I will admit that when I went back to complain, they did indeed replace the zipper and didn't charge me a second time. But I had to go back and complain. The second time I used them, it took them 20 minutes to find the pants. They tried to give me other ones, tried to tell me I didn't remember what I had brought in. They only found them when they realized they hadn't done the repairs yet, even though it was the day after they'd promised. No real apology, just a breezy "these things happen." I am never coming back again. read more

I came in and all i needed was a simple hem on my brand new jeans. I took them in and recevied them 2 days later and they were completly wrong and way to short now my $150 jeans are ruined. DO NOT GO HERE read more

I really wanted to like this local business that a friend recommended, but something just felt off. I brought in my wedding dress for alterations. The woman gave me a date. I wasn't in a rush, because I had budgeted in more time than I needed, but whenever I would drop by or call, she'd say, a few more days... Monday... tomorrow. I ended up trying my dress on again more than a week later than she said it would be ready. It needed a few very small fixes, which is totally normal, but I just felt nervous about leaving my dress anotehr day. This is My Wedding Dress mind you! Not just a normal alteration job. But she seemed pretty blase about the whole thing. There was also a small stain on the white garment bag that i brought it in, like a food stain or something, and I know it wasn't there before. The dress was fine. It didn't fit perfectly, but that's probably more me than her skill. But I noticed later when I was putting it on, that the inner lining was ripped about an inch near a hem by my waist, and that she had used grey thread to re-do the area at the waist that needed a bit more altering. Grey thread on a white dress. Now -- OK, to be fair, I realize that no one is ever going to see the small few inches she altered inside the dress with a different color thread. But it just signaled to me that she did sloppy work. The price was $100, which seemed fair. But I've only ever had one wedding dress altered, so can't compare. If you have simple alterations, I'm sure this place is fine. In fact, a friend used her for several very fancy ball gowns and was really pleased. But my experience was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to write a review. read more

I think Esther is very good and tries hard to please. Her work has always been excellent and it is so convenient to have a tailor right in the neighborhood. Her prices are very low for the high quality she provides. She runs a small business and sometimes has a hard time with organization, but only once have I experienced a delay problem. I have used her tailoring service for over 6 years and will continue to do so. read more
