Julia did a great job altering to dresses I had tailored. The cost was higher than I expected, but I was very happy with the results.

Great customer service! Happy with her and the teams work great value and accommodates well.

Julia is extremely kind and made the whole measuring process very easy and streamlined for me. I have been coming here for a long time and every time I have received excellent customer service and craftsmanship in whatever work I needed done. She is the best tailor in town. Thank you again Julia! read more

Julia has helped me with many pairs of (men's) pants and shirts. I've always been impressed with her work and can give a great review! I especially like how she offers her opinion on what "looks good" in terms of overall fit. On a different note- she took on an urgent side project for my son and went way above any beyond in an effort to help a young child. Not only is she a great tailor, she has a huge heart and is an amazing person! Thank you, Julia :) read more

I needed an evening gown hemmed in 2 days and Julia was able to accommodate my timeline. Every other tailor in town told me no, but Julia told me yes! It was perfectly done and she was so kind. Highly recommend! read more

I went here on a whim and was very pleased! Service was fast and professional. I'll be back!

Extremely pleased with the work. I needed the original hem done on my designer jeans and it looked flawless. Fit perfect and she even recommended certain length for my wide leg jean style and it looks amazing. Great quality and best I've had here in Santa Barbara. Thank you! read more

Julia was fast and efficient. I called and she said to drop by. Within minutes she had attached my missing pearl button snap. I had been turned down at several places, because they didn't have the equipment to do it. $10. read more

Did an excellent job hemming a pair of jeans for me with original hem with a very quick turn around! Will definitely use this business in the future. read more

Julia was amazing! She accommodated a quick turn around suit pant hemming on a Friday evening, and even noticed missing buttons on the suit jacket and let us know and then replaced the missing buttons. Very professional and we so appreciate her accommodating a last minute and rush request. read more

I got a dress taken in and a pair of jeans patched in TWO DAYS! She charged a small rush fee, but I needed the dress done for an event on the weekend and she was the only tailor out of 3 I contacted that said she could do it! Very grateful, dress and jeans both turned out great. The dress was also a vintage 1930's dress and she handled it with great care. read more

Horrible job! And I never leave bad reviews! Asked them to shorten a blazer. The lining hangs down below the outside of the jacket!

Worst experience ever! I don't believe I've ever worked with a tailor so incompetent. I dropped off my suit 7 days in advanced for MINOR alterations. Tony said he needed 1 week! I went back to pick them up today, (7 days later) and he hadn't even started on the job! You're busy? I understand. No communication though? I had to call him. He said he'd call me back and he didn't. There are SO many tailors in town that actually CARE. DO NOT waste you're time here! Go to men's warehouse or mission tuxedo down the street! And to make matters worse, I received the pants damaged! read more

Julia The Tailor - Damaged pants. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Wonderful experience! I needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed for my brother's wedding at the end of July 2020. Tony was very professional, wore a mask, and my dress was ready when he said it would be. The price was fair for the work he did. I will definitely be going back! This is a great local business! Location note: There is street parking and the shop is on the second floor at the front of the building. read more

My husband had his tuxedo for our daughter's wedding tailored by Tony and he did a great job. I'm going to have him do a few alterations for me as well. read more

Tony was amazing but, unfortunately, he's retired. The new owner actually told me to "buy a smaller size" instead of trying to alter. I brought Tony a number of challenging alterations, he never turned me away and he always delivered. My advice would be to go elsewhere. read more

Julia is a very talented tailor. I have a leather jacket with zippers at the bottom of the sleeves, which I needed shortened. She did a great job and was able shorten the sleeves and move the zippers as if nothing had been altered. Absolutely perfect job, especially considering she was working on leather. Thank You Julia. read more

Terribly unfriendly. Went in there just asking to have measurements taken because I'm ordering a custom drysuit for scuba diving online, and wanted to make sure I got the correct numbers and they recommend not taking the measure yourself. He couldn't do basic measurements like inseam, height and chest measurements in centimeters because "he hadn't done them before". He refused to help, and was less than pleasant about it. read more

What an incredible man, that does incredible work! He altered my wedding dress and my husband's suit for our wedding! You won't find a better tailor in SB! Do yourself a favor, and go see Tony!!! read more

I had tony work on my bridesmaid dress for my sisters wedding. And he did an amazing job! My family was really pleased with the work he did. and the work he did on my moms dress I highly recommend tony! read more

Tony altered the sleeves on a suit jacket and the length of dress pants for us. We were worried that altering the sleeves would look weird because the sleeves had buttons on them, but we can't even tell it was altered. He got them back to us extremely fast and he is very reasonably priced. His shop is easy to find and there is street parking. Highly recommend. read more

Brought in a pair of pants needing hemmed and let out in the waist. Very quick turnaround and great experience coming into the shop!

If you need a reliable tailor, please don't come here. You leave a blazer, pants, shirts here don't expect to retrieve the items in a) on time & b) original condition. You're better off going to mission tuxedo. A friend of mine dropped off a suit 7 days in advanced and when he went back to pick it up, not only was it NOT ready but the job hadn't even been started.. after a week! If you need a job done on time, look elsewhere. read more

I had a very delicate top that I need to get fixed in a timely manner and tony was amazing!! He was so sweet and got it back to me the very next day and since it was a small fix he literally did it for free and it looked perfect! I highly recommend tony and hope everyone in Santa Barbara supports him with their tailoring needs! read more

I have used Tony the Tailor several times now from having my dress pants hemmed to tailoring a suit jacket. Every time I am impressed by the end product. Average wait is about a week--but he was able to finish my jacket a day early when I called. Overall great experiences here! read more

Wedding Dress Alteration Perfection Tony and Julia took a beautiful wedding dress and made it MAGNIFICENT. With ease, expertise and a creative eye, Tony knew exactly where the dress needed to be nipped + tucked for the perfect fit. He crafted an effortless looking french bustle and altered the hem + train to perfection. Tony and Julia have the utmost confidence working with fine beading + delicate lace. I was impressed with the care they took and tricks of the trade they utilized so that the beading wouldn't snag the french lace of the dress while completing the bodice alterations. In the end, I wore that dress - that dress did not wear me...thanks to Tony's savvy craftsmanship. But even greater than that, Tony + Julia are a delight to work with. We had 3 separate fitting sessions along the way (to make certain everything was fitting beautifully) and each visit was a joy, they put me at ease and Tony the Tailor quickly became one of the highlights in our wedding planning process. read more

Tony is the best tailor in SB hands down, and can work with pretty much any fabric. I've taken leather, suede, linen, silk etc to him and it always comes back perfect. Thank you, Tony!! read more

Everyone needs a good tailor. Tony is that person for you. I just moved to Santa Barbara County but have been working here for years, and I WISH I had discovered Tony earlier - He would've saved me hundreds or thousands of dollars in clothes ruined/wasted by bad tailoring or lack of good tailoring options. He is super professional, prompt, and above all - a really, really skilled tailor. Great guy. Cool shop. read more

My expectations were a bit high because of the positive reviews I read, and the high pricing. I figured I'm paying for quality service. I went to Tony the Tailor to replace a broken zipper on a dress. Price: $35.00. Length of time before I would get it back: a week and a half, but because I needed it rushed he was able to have it ready in a week. I was told that I would get a call, but I didn't, so I called an hour before close. I was told it wasn't ready, but that it would be done before close. I picked it up, and unfortunately the new zipper was not sewed on straight :/ Will I go back again? Not likely. I also didn't like his unfriendly attitude, then again... it could've just been bad days that I caught him in. My advice... do your research if you want reliable service, and less pricey charges for fixes and alterations. Sorry I haven't explored enough to give any additional recommendations. read more

Tony is great we've been using him for years. I'm not sure if he's taking new clients so many long time business's who are word of mouth aren't and don't even need my reviews. But always worth a try! read more

Tony is super friendly, professional, and talented! He has tailored a number of items for myself, my partner and my friends and always was done sooner than expected and made the perfect adjustments. He fixed my wedding dress and my mother-in-law's dress for the wedding and they both came out amazing. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Tony for years. He has always done excellent work at a very reasonable price. I had tried other local tailors but no one has compared to Tony. read more

Tony is the owner of Tony the Tailor, and he was very kind, polite, and pleasant to work with! I brought in a floor length bridesmaids dress that needed to hemmed and I was also instructed to keep the fabric for my bouquet. Tony did a superb job and had my extra material all ready to go, earlier than I expected - and the dress looked and fit perfectly! I would highly recommend Tony and will be bringing anything I need altered back to him! Look no further than Tony! read more

So nice & great work! I will always go to Tony for alterations. Easy parking and quick service, too!

I went to Tony after reading positive reviews in the SB Independent. I needed a dress shirt fitted. Tony told me that he would have it ready in 2 days. It took 5 days, and when I finally got it back, the seems on the side were all bunched up. It looked like an amateur had came in and ruined my shirt. It was such a pathetic job, that I didn't even want him to attempt to correct it. read more

Tony's the best in town! I've been going to him for over twenty years, and he's always done fantastic work.

Been to Tony twice now. Both pants came out perfect. My boyfriend goes for all of his uniform rank changes etc. The first time I went I did have to call to follow up, but not the most recent time. All in all I've been pretty pleased! read more

I bring all my stuff to Tony. He's done my pants, shorts, jackets and every time I've been very happy with his work. Wont go anywhere else. Can't rush perfection. read more
