    Sujin is amazing! She's so nice and she did such a great job on the two wedding dresses I had. She even helped me to get them cleaned and pressed. My dress was a sample sale, so it was extremely delicate and had about 6 layers to it. It had an embroidered layer, the inside lining was falling apart, and the skirt had structured underskirts to give volume. This dress was also a size 10 and I needed to bring it down to a size 6. I had Sujin bring in the dress around the abdomen and adjust the sweetheart neckline as well. She knew to match the neckline and back so that nothing would be out of proportion. I also had her hem the skirt. She spent lots of hours and labor on this, but the dress looked good as new and she finished in time for the wedding. For my second dress, I had a silk dress that was delicate as well, for this i had her bring in the abdomen as well and the dress was perfectly tailored to me. She's so skilled! I would trust her with any of my alteration needs! Definitely call ahead to make an appointment!

    I can not say enough wonderful things about Kim's alterations!! They are so so nice, and do amazing work! I brought in my very delicate lace wedding dress and they tailored it to fit me like a glove! I also had a short dress that I changed into and they altered that perfectly as well! Thank you!!

    Kim's Alterations is amazing. For my birthday this year, I had an idea to take a long-sequin skirt and turn it into a two-piece set. Ms. Kim did a fabulous job of accomplishing my vision with style. She custom-made a crop-sequin top with straps and a low-rise sequin skirt; she made my wish come true. She is reasonably priced, works fast, and does a great job every time (I have been coming to her business my entire life.) I am so grateful for this unique set and her beautiful sewing.

    They get down to business and do an excellent job. Pricey, but you can be confident that you'll be happy with their work.

    Very expensive. The alterations were fine but I feel like I could have paid less elsewhere for the same service.

    They did a good job with my alteration but it's pretty pricey. If you can, try to get quotes elsewhere if you have time.

    Miki is so amazing! We went to her about 5-6x already and she is so nice and honest. She even…read morealtered for us on the spot while we sat and waited. Her skills are top notch and we appreciate her straightforwardness. The pricing is the same as at any alterations place in the PV area. You cannot compare the pricing here to a shop in Lomita or Gardena for example since they have higher rent in the PV area. I also appreciate that I can communicate with her directly too.

    BUYER BEWARE, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!…read more As I type this, I am standing here outside Miki Alteration. Yesterday, my daughter dropped off (in the afternoon after school) her dance dress for alteration at the wrong tailor - she was supposed to give it to Grace (down the street from Miki). My wife had gotten something tailored at Miki before , but wasn't happy and other moms had recommended Grace. We realized my daughter's error last evening itself and so I came today right at store opening at 9 am. I told the lady in the store about the error, and asked if we could have the dress back. She told me the dress is ripped at the seams (no cutting) and that I would have to pay a lot. I tried to reason but she kept asking why we are doing this. I told her the same thing that we dropped it off to the wrong tailor. I offered to pay her $20 for having ripped off the seams. She then told me that she is pissed off and she will only give me the dress back if I pay the full amount, $135. And she further said that because she is so pissed off, she will only accept cash. I came back and asked to pay the full amount but she refused to give me the dress back. I had to call the police, and when they came and told her that she cannot keep my property, she finally resented and gave me the dress back. If you're looking for an honest and ethical tailor, you won't find her here.

    Had good experiences when i asked for something super simple like getting pants hemmed. However,…read moreRecently i had a bespoke dress made for me and i took it to get altered, and Grace the seamstress there kept complaining to me about the fabric of my dress being thick. As she was pinning it on me i kept getting poked by her pins and she was apathetic when i mentioned it. In general, the vibe is strange, i noticed she spoke english better to an older white man getting a suit, but to me (mixed asian) she didnt bother with proper sentences or looking at me/asking if it was good. The cherry on top is, despite leaving my information, when i came more than a week later to get my dress, she hadnt worked on it at all and said she was sick. I trust that she was, but come on, at least text me or something. I'm going elsewhere for alterations.

    My wife and I have been going to Glady's for over 20 years. The original owner is no longer there…read moreand it's changed hands a couple of times. The reason for the 3 stars is the customer service and now, the price. I don't remember the owner's name but she does know what she's doing. The problem is, she doesn't have a filter of any kind. She's very comfortable with telling you how fat you are and that you've gained or lost weight. If this was a one time deal, ok, but almost every time we go in?! I'm not someone who is grossly overweight either so going in to get pants hemmed and being told, " you fatter now" is less than ideal. I kept going despite this because of her knowledge but the last time we went in, she did not do what I asked for and the price was very expensive. I had to point out that she wrote down what I asked but made a mistake. She was not pleased as she had to redo several pants. I've managed to find another tailor that seems happy for my business and their prices are more in line with what they should be.

Maureen already knew what needed to be done just…read moreby looking at it on me, but she still listened to my requests and concerns, she was very nice, attentive and understanding. Maureen is very skilled in her work. She took in some inches around my bust and added a bustle for the long train on my dress. Her prices are fair and affordable, and she has a quick turn around time for alterations! For my wedding dress, she had it ready in 2 weeks. My wedding dress zipper kept getting stuck even though tried to adjust it, so she replaced the whole zipper entirely, and it was perfect! I also brought my reception dress here for alterations as well. After my wedding, I brought both dresses and my veil back for dry cleaning, and she had it ready for pick up in 3 days. I will definitely recommend her to everyone I know. She did a wonderful job!!

    Came here after getting quite a few quotes in the area for a hem and shoulder adjustment/alteration…read morefor a bridesmaid dress. Over messages I was given a rough estimate of $40 for the hem and $20 for a shoulder take in, which was lower than the quotes I was receiving from other places. When I came in, my total to be paid at pick up was at $110. $90 for the hem, $20 for the shoulder. Of course, a quote is dependent on material, difficulty, etc., so I did not complain, but quote versus actual prices ended up being almost double. For a satin, a-line, unlined dress, this price was higher than what any from my group of bridesmaid with the same dress paid at other places. When I came in to pay and receive the dress she again upped the price by $5, making my total $115, which I found out after, was not the price given on my receipt when the dress was dropped off ($110) The actual work was fine and did the job, and the shop owner was very nice, but I do not think I would return here after my own personal experience.

    If you are planning to get alterations done from this place please don't waste your time and money…read more Please look for another place who can do a better job. I gave them three jeans for adjusting the length and they messed up the brand new jeans. I told them that some places didn't do a good job so I specifically told to make sure the jeans doesn't stick out after the alternation. They agreed to it and did exactly the opposite. I have attached the picture for reference. Instead of taking the accountability the owner of the store tried to gaslight saying that they jeans might came crocked and they didn't mess it up. He even asked me to return the jeans to get my money back for the jeans but who will refund the money that I paid them even though they messed it up?? For someone who has a business like dry cleaners and asking to return the customer jeans for refund instead of fixing the mess up is extremely awful. Edit: Updating the review with a response from the business owner. I had multiple discussion with the owner regarding this mess up at the store. He has been repeating the same story again and again. He seems to miss the point that it was communicated before handing over the jeans that it should not stick out after the alternation which he seems to have chose to ignore. A general statement of "Your jeans do not have the same taper all the way down" is not acceptable considering the mess up is with three jeans and also I don't have any problem with how it looks on the left side. I have a problem with just the right. You cannot say that all three jeans have issue with the taper on the right side. Also, he suggested to get them tapered but with a reduced width which makes the jeans tight to wear and he forgets to mention in his response that he stated that jeans might still stick out even after the taper as well. Fact is your tailor did placed the jeans side ways while sewing under the machine. I don't mind giving another chance as long as you guys can promise that the jeans won't stick out like that after the taper.
