The front living room has been converted into her workshop but you are pretty much walking into someone's home! My first time trying her was for fixing an error made at another local alteration shop: i had the waist brought in on a pair of slacks at another location nearby. That location messed up the back seam of the pant, the middle was puckering very strangely (made my back side look like a saggy sack of potatoes). I brought the pants here to be fixed, she was very polite about it but explained, as best she could, that other place messed up when they brought in the waist because they didn't bring in the material from the center line in the butt too. So it messed up the whole line of the pant and made it sag in the worst possible location. I have since come to her for many items and trust her craftsmanship. I've never made an appointment and have always just walked up without an issue. My mother was a seamstress/dressmaker/costumer so I really have a special appreciation for Li's attention to detail. I noticed other reviews have said she doesn't speak English but I have been able to communicate with her just fine in English, I don't know what her native language is. Prices seem great especially in comparison to the place down the street that charges more yet seems to do sloppy work. I wish I took some before and after photos - especially from the story above! It was pretty hilariously awful. Glad she was able to save my slacks. I have a suite I need tailored, I'll try and load those before and after photos.

The quality of the work is absolutely horrible. The stitching looks horrible, and the lace sleeves were not properly trimmed. Instead, the excess fabric was folded over, leaving a three-inch section near the sleeve holes that is noticeably darker and looks terrible. If I wanted the sleeves simply folded over, I could have done that myself without paying for a tailoring service. On top of the terrible quality of work, I had to call around to multiple tailors to find someone who could fix the dress. Because my event is tomorrow, I now have to pay an additional rush fee to get it corrected in time. When I tried the dress on at the new tailor, he also pointed out that the bottom hem was uneven, with the back significantly shorter than the front. As a result, the dress will now have to be shortened all the way around more than originally requested just to even it out. When I went back to request a refund, he was reluctant to give me my money back, and I had to argue with him just to receive $40 of the $60 I paid. The tailor who is now fixing the dress was shocked by the quality of the alterations and agreed that I should have received a full refund. This entire experience has cost me additional time, money, and unnecessary stress, and has potentially compromised how my brand new dress was supposed to fit, all because of a tailoring job that was done so poorly in the first place.

I initially chose a less expensive seamstress for my wedding dress alterations, and unfortunately, the neckline was completely botched and uneven. With my wedding only being 1 month away, this was a huge disappointment and caused an unnecessary additional amount of stress. I brought my dress to Carole, who was recommended by the bridal shop, and she was an absolute pleasure. She fixed the neckline beautifully and, while working on the dress, also noticed that the original bustle had been poorly done and was likely to break. Only 1 button for all that fabric (right where my bottom hits the chair), I mean come on! Carole fixed it beautifully with a French bustle. Before and after photo below. What I appreciate most is that she was willing to take on someone else's work and fix it, even though I had originally passed on her because her quote was higher. After seeing the love and quality she put into my dress, I truly wish I had just gone with her from the beginning! She was professional, knowledgeable, and so so kind. I'm forever grateful she was able to save my wedding dress so I could wear it with no regrets on my special day! I am truly so appreciative of Carole and the work she put into my gown. I will be recommending Carole to all my besties for their gown alterations and I definitely recommend her for yours too!

Doing a quick Yelp search, CJ Sewing popped up as one of the top rated alterations establishments in Elk Grove. I immediately scheduled an appointment for the following day. Since I was in such a frenzy, I totally overlooked the instructions in Ms. Jackson's (business owner) appointment confirmation email (the email states that you should bring a long sleeve shirt, a belt, and dress shoes if you're having a suit altered). When I showed up to the establishment, I was warmly greeted by Ms. Jackson and her cute furry friend- Sir Winston. As fate would have it, my suit jacket did not require altering; therefore, the belt and dress shoes that I had on were sufficient. Ms. Jackson is definitely a wealth of knowledge and respectfully shared with me that the slim fit suit pants that I had were not appropriate for my athletic build (slim waist & thick quads). However, she walked me through the alterations that she would make that would complement my physique. On the expected pickup date, Ms. Jackson informed me that she would need additional time and could drop the pants off to me later that afternoon . This was not a problem considering that I dropped the pants off at the last minute. Also, I really appreciated her communication. As promised, Ms. Jackson dropped the pants off and they were a perfect fit. Thank you CJ Sewing!

I tried CJ Sewing because of the positive Yelp reviews, but unfortunately my experience was very…read moredifferent. I brought in my maid-of-honor dress for my sister's destination wedding. The color was discontinued, so I asked about adding a corset back and a hem. I was quoted over $375 for those alterations. When I asked about a first-responder discount (because my fiancé is one), she responded by asking whether he was the one with the dress. The comment felt dismissive of the impact first-responder life has on a whole family. I then asked about a graduate-student discount, and she began asking several personal questions about my education. I even offered to show my student ID, to which she said she was "just trying to make conversation" and that she would take $50 off--but the exchange still felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. She scheduled me to return in two weeks for the first fitting, where I would try on the corset and we would mark the hem. However, when I arrived, the corset wasn't completed. She explained she had difficulty finding a matching back panel and ribbon, which I understand since the color was discontinued. What concerned me was that she hadn't sourced materials ahead of time and didn't offer alternative solutions (such as lace) until I prompted her. She even suggested using fabric from the third layer of my dress for the back panel--something that would clearly be visible in photos--and only agreed it wasn't a good idea after I pointed it out. During the first fitting, I also told her that the corset was pinching my back and I didn't like the way it looked. She said nothing and offered no explanation. I later learned that with a corset, you're supposed to shift your back toward the sides to prevent pinching--something she failed to mention, and possibly didn't know. I had also repeatedly struggled with the straps since my first appointment, and instead of offering to re-sew them, she recommended adhesive. When I asked about simply re-stitching them, she hesitated and commented about my "budget," which felt judgmental and unprofessional. She then quoted $40. Because of the missed deadline, lack of proactive solutions, and overall unprofessional communication, I decided not to continue the alterations and returned to pick up my dress. At pickup, I told her I would pay for the work she had completed and compensate her for her time marking the hem. She initially agreed, but then tried to charge me the full cost of the corset--even though it was unfinished. She also tried to charge me for a hem that was never sewn (just pinned). After going back and forth--and telling her I wasn't there to argue--she charged me $25 for the 30 minutes she spent marking the hem and the partial corset work. I ultimately paid $150 for half a corset and pins she removed. Overall, this was a stressful and disappointing experience, and I cannot recommend this business.
