Mr. Kim does excellent work! I brought 5 pieces of clothing that needed the waist to be tighter, bottoms to be hemmed, and missing buttons. He finished everything in a timely matter nice and neatly. He quoted very reasonable pricing and everything to be ready at the same time the next day. A day later, I showed up a couple hours early & everything was bagged & ready! He always tells you how much everything costs up front. I highly recommend going here for any alterations you may need.

I don't think any amount of words can adequately describe my experience with Courtney. I found…read moremyself in desperate need of a good, trustworthy seamstress to help me with my wedding dress. As a plus size bride, I did not want to make an already vulnerable experience harder with a difficult experience before my wedding. And the hard part: I wanted them to be local. I feel incredibly blessed that I found Courtney, and that she took me in. She was INCREDIBLE. So sweet, incredibly talented and knowledgeable... not to mention very sensitive. She talked to me, asked me questions about my big day, and made me feel right at home... and EXCITED. I can't thank her enough. Plus, her little studio here in Chico is the best. A great interpersonal experience where you feel like the most important thing. She took my dress in a whole size, altered my sleeves, and added a bustle to my dress (with custom instructions for my friend). I recommend Courtney to anyone and everyone.

There aren't enough words to describe the Fairy Godmother wedding dress magic-maker that is Kendra…read more However... I'll try. I am (admittedly!) a high maintenance bride, and I had a ton of little changes I wanted to make on my difficult-to-alter wedding gown. Add a slit, fix the pleats, add removable straps (for which I had a VERY specific vision), make sure the interior tulle of the dress pulled to the edges so I could properly move and dance, make sure the strapless dress wasn't moving on me one inch, while also making sure I could still breathe and eat... Kendra had the solution for ALL of it. Including so many solve ideas that I would've never thought of. She's clearly an expert in the field of alterations, and she literally said "oh yes absolutely" to every question I had that started with "is there any way to..." FAIRY GODMOTHER. On top of all of that, Kendra has the disposition to calm any high strung bride (or mother) during a potentially stressful part of the process. Her welcoming, kind and "of course we can!" attitude made me so at ease (peaceful, even?), during this process and I cannot state the importance of this enough. Not only that, she made sure the finished product of each adjustment was also up to HER standards, which are high. She was so good that I even had her work on two other wedding looks for me, had her dye my veil to match my dress, and she even helped me adjust my SHOES to my ideal dream look! I mean, what can't she do?! Kendra J - and her sister, who I also worked with in the beginning - are a high-maintenance, type A, dancer & perfectionist bride's dream come true. Cannot recommend them enough with such an important part of such an important time in someone's life.

It was held together with a safety pin in order to through the ceremony. I refrained from hugging family and friends all night. As you can see, the broken strap is very noticeable. As the night went on. The back seem near the zipper was separating. And then one of the five point bustle broke. My dress was literally falling apart. We called the seamstress Monday morning. She was only willing to pay for the broken straps. My alterations were $669. Straps, seems and bustles shouldn't fall apart. My heart is broken. The dress was so beautiful and all I can see are the broken areas in all my pictures. Please please please be careful who you choose.
