I needed a formal dress shortened and the shoulder taken in a little bit to fit me. I went to J.V. Professional Tailor because they are highly rated. Jose was not fazed at all by some draping that goes all the way to the bottom of the dress. The shoulders were cleanly altered and the length was just right. The space is clean and organized. Both the drop-off/measuring and pick-up were efficient. The alterations cost $125, which seems on par with other places I have been before. They prefer Zelle but were willing to accept credit card. I was not in a hurry. He scheduled my pick-up for just over 3 weeks from the consultation, and it was completed as scheduled. There is some metered parking out front, and street parking around the corner. read more

I got a bridesmaids dress tailored for a wedding there. Very simple hemming and taking in the bodice. I had no idea what it would cost and feel taken advantage of. They charged me $150 for just that. I'm shocked at all the good reviews which is what took me there. I tried it on in the store and everything looked good but just tried it on again and it's bunching by the zipper in the back. So on top of feeling ripped off I feel like the work was not that great. Would never go back. read more

Great customer service, quick turnaround and superior work! I am very happy with my experience here.

Poor quality workmanship. I am shocked at the good reviews. I brought in one pair of women's crepe slacks to be shortened and hemmed. These were an expensive brand new pair of pants that I was planning to wear to an important event. When I inspected the work it was uneven and the stitches were puckered and Jose returned the pants to me wrinkled. To add insult to injury it cost $35!!!!! I should have gone to my regular tailor Rancho Tailor who has been in business for 40 years but I moved to the Marina and Rancho Tailor is now moved near Century City so I was hoping to find a local tailor. Now I am going back to Rancho Tailor who only charges $18 for a professional hem job. And his work is impeccable & honest! I just hope that JV tailor did not ruin my slacks and that it will cost me to have to purchase new ones. And for the event that I had to go to, I had to figure out something else to wear because the hem on the slacks looked that awful! Beware of you go to JV Tailor. I cannot believe that this place has good reviews. And when I tried to post a one star review of JV Tailor on Google, they somehow never posted it despite the fact that I submitted the review twice!!!! Let's hope that Yelp here is more honest,! read more

I had a sequin gown altered at the bottom and he did a phenomenal job! I also had a pair of vegan leather pants altered and they were done perfectly. Thank you!!! read more

My mom absolutely loved a dress from Macy's for my bridal shower but they didn't have it in her size. I saw all the positive reviews and had her go here. They quoted $1,000. I'm not kidding ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for a $200 dress. We took her to a different tailor and they offered to do it for $65. read more

I bought a second hand wedding dress online and needed to get it tailored. I didn't want to go to a wedding dress specific alterations place because I knew the mark up would be crazy. I found JV Tailor on Yelp and gave him a call. I went with my wedding dress same day and he thoroughly looked the dress over after I put it on. He's very detailed oriented and listened to me on what I wanted and didn't want. What he tailored: - the puffy sleeves so that they would hang correctly on my upper arms and not slip down - the front of the bodice that kept wrinkling and not sitting flat while wearing the dress, he tailored the front to sit flat - hemmed the bottom of the front of the dress and the sides a little so that it hit right above the floor perfectly Price: The price he quoted me was fair considering all the work he put in to altering my wedding dress over several appointments. Overall I'm super happy with the finished product. When I first tried the dress on, I didn't feel good about it because it didn't look good on me. But after he altered the dress, I really did in fact love the dress since it was fitted to my body after his alterations. He also worked quickly and timely. Highly highly recommend! Added some after photos. read more

Amazing job shortening my sleeves on a jacket. It was a more expensive jacket so I was worried about it but it turned out perfectly with a very tight turn around in time. read more

Wonderful affordable tailor. I had my wedding dress tailored and it fit perfectly. I let the dress venue convince me to go up in size but quickly realized the mistake I made since the dress had to be completely reconstructed. Jose did a great job altering the dress without compromising all of the beautiful detail. Went through 3 fittings, even up until a few days before the wedding, but he made it fit perfect. Highly recommend read more

I highly recommend Jose! The dress I am wearing to my son's wedding needed alterations and they were completed to the point where I could not tell that it had been touched! I sew myself, but spent a decent amount on this and didn't want to take any chances. The dress is made of a heavier material and also lined. He did a masterful job and I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone! read more

I needed a skilled tailor to take on an unusual request: please trim down a very special, irreplaceable cotton t-shirt down 3 whole sizes, from an XXL to an M. I'm -so- pleased I found Jose for the job--the results were perfect, with cuts and stitching so seamless that you would never have known the garment had been altered at all. Jose was personable, communicative, quoted me a fair price, and the cherry on top is that he completed the job a few days before the already very accommodating original estimated date. Thank you, Jose! read more

jose is so thorough and quick. i needed my dress taken in and up for an awards show. he got me in within the hour, the dress was a hit and fit like a glove. i'm taking more clothes back today. pricing was totally fair for the work. i'm thrilled with the result. read more

I went to JV tailor to get my wedding dress altered. I wanted to wear my mother's wedding dress which had been custom made for her in 1991. I went to a different tailor who seemed very pessimistic about altering it. However I decided to take it to Jose since he had previously done amazing work on some of my (now) husband's suits. Jose came up with a simple but beautiful solution to make the dress fit and even sourced a fabric that matched the very unique white color of the dress. When I came to pick up the dress (which was completed ahead of schedule) I was absolutely blown away. It fit perfectly it looked so seamless that I honestly liked the change (the inclusion of a corset) better than the original zipper closure. I got so many compliments at the wedding on the dress. I HIGHLY recommend JV tailoring for any of your tailoring needs especially wedding dresses. The price was fair and I cannot understate Jose's expertise and kindness. I felt so confident in his abilities and suggestions for the dress and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. read more

I couldn't be more thankful for having a last-minute request just days before I had to travel for my wedding. I was able to get both my ring bear and my flower girls tuxedo dress altered. They both looked beautiful and wonderful making my magical special day that much more rewarding, the customer service was above and beyond, very well taken care of. I highly recommend the value of this tailor. I will for sure be going in the future to do other work with different wardrobes. Thank you again. Mrs. Hardie! read more

I bought a fantastic dress to wear to a wedding. It fit beautifully! I didn't have heels with me, so I just figured with my heels it would be great. 1 week before I was set to fly across the country for the wedding, I thought I should try on the dress. I'm 5'8" and had 3.5" heels on--and the dress was still a bit over an inch too long! It was a Friday at 4:40pm! I called JV professional tailor and he said to bring the dress in at 9am the next day, as he closes at 5pm, and he'd have it altered and ready for me by Wednesday evening. I was extremely happy with the results and the price was fair. I will definitely use JV Professional Tailor again when I need any alterations done. I wish I could give 6 stars! read more

I get lucky with street parking every time. Very friendly and helpful service. Quality of work is very good. Prices are a tad high compared to other tailors in the neighborhood. I will happily continue to use their services. read more

Needed last minute alterations to a long evening dress with a detailed hem that was way too long. Jose and I discussed options in order to be able to keep the appliqué detailing at the hem of the dress. He was able to shorten the dress, keep the beautiful hem appliqué and tailor the fit to me. Extremely happy with the result. He was helpful, friendly and professional. Highly recommend his business if you are in need of any tailoring services. Reasonable pricing and speedy service. read more

J.V professional tailor made the process of hemming my dress very quick and easy! I am a bridesmaid in a wedding. I walked into their shop on a Thursday and asked if they could have the dress ready by Monday and it was done! They were professional, kind and my dress looks amazing :) read more

Jose is the BEST. He is kind, patient, communicative, incredibly talented and a hard working father to top it all off. Jose was able to help me with a special sewing project that required fabric cutting, patten edits etc and he did it better than I could have imagine and also did it so fast it blew my mind. I walked into 5 places before going to his store and I knew just from his demeanor that he was legit and if you can't tell from what I wrote above...this man is the truth he is literally HIM. Can't wait to go back to him with my next project :) read more

Great service and communication! My wedding dress fit perfectly after two fittings. He had great suggestions and listened to what I was looking for.

What can I say: GO TO THIS TAILOR. I got an incredible Bagdley Mischka dress off eBay and it did not fit. Prior to going to him, I went to a questionable tailor who refused to work on the dress. You cannot tell anything was done to the dress to make it fit, his changes were subtle and perfect. He did extraordinary work. Reasonable pricing for the job done. AND, he's a gentle kind person as well. Go here! read more

Omg I have to say Jose is absolutely amazing! I have been looking for a new seamstress and tailor for about two years and had about 25 dresses and outfits to be altered. He got everything done in less than a week and everything fits absolutely amazingly! Some dresses I had ordered from Shein and other sites where the fitting is not quite on point. Jose fixed them to fit me to a tee. A handful of dresses Jose was able to change the neck line and the back of the dress cut to be completely altered into beautiful new dresses that were sexy and flattering Normally I would be skeptical of trying a place with not many reviews, but I was finally so desperate to get all these clothes altered that have been piling up that I decided to give Jose's shop a chance.... And it def paid off big time! =D I am very particular and Jose was so patient with me. Jose just opened his shop and has been a tailor for over 40 years and I am officially a lifetime customer! Thank you so much read more

I called up and spoke to the owner in a panic, because I leave for my friends wedding in less than a week. I needed my bridesmaid dress hemmed, and due to life getting in the way I procrastinated. I am so pleased with the incredibly fast turn around and professional work done by Joe, I am so grateful I found him to have my dress. I brought my dress in on Monday afternoon and it was ready for pick up Wednesday morning. My dress is perfectly hemmed, and his prices are absolutely affordable thank you JV tailoring! read more

Jose did a fantastic job on my husbands jacket. His custom Eddie Bauer jacket had a broken zipper that needed to be fixed, and as complicated as it was to figure out the threading in this down jacket, Jose was able to replace the whole zipper seamlessly. Thank you! read more

Couldn't recommend Jose more. I needed my wedding dress altered two weeks before my wedding and he assured me that he could get it done within the timeframe. I was impressed with his professionalism and skills. 10/10 would recommend Jose! read more

This is an excellent tailor, but his prices are quite high. His facility is well designed for customers to stand on a platform while he pins the garment. And I believe there are two dressing rooms. Everyone is working on their machines when you arrive. I wish I could afford Jv Tailor for all of my clothing. So what I would recommend is that if you have an expensive garment, you should take it to him. read more
