10/10 would recommend this place!! Suzy was so nice. She made my wedding dress fit perfectly and look just how I wanted it to! She was also very fast, efficient, and kind. I have nothing bad to say about this place. Suzy is also, in my limited experience knowledge, very affordable! read more

Susie is incredible! She helped me pick out a dream wedding dress and was able to tailor it perfectly! I had the BEST experience in her store and the fittings were incredible. Go to her if you want to look to fabulous on your wedding day!!! read more

They did an amazing job tailoring my wedding dress, which had an inordinate amount of layers for such a simple looking dress. The hem was perfect, they adjusted the waist slightly since it was bunching up, and they added a bustle for me to make the dress more functional. Overall, couldn't have gone better. read more

Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with my experience here, especially considering I paid $600 for very minimal alterations. My wedding gown was custom made for my body and already fit extremely well. It is also a very simple gown with no lace, beading, or complicated detailing. The only alterations I needed were a hem and a single bustle. At my first appointment, Susie told me she would hem the dress and add the bustle. I specifically asked if I should bring the bridesmaid who would be helping me bustle the dress on my wedding day to my next fitting so she could learn how to do it. Susie told me yes, so my bridesmaid made the trip and came with me. When we arrived for that appointment, however, the bustle hadn't even been done. Only the hem was completed, so there was nothing for my bridesmaid to learn and she had essentially come with me for no reason. What made the appointment even more uncomfortable was a comment about my body. Susie noticed some bunching around the hip area of the dress and told me that this can happen when people gain weight, then asked if I had gained weight since my previous fitting- which had only been two weeks earlier. I told her no and that, if anything, I had lost weight. She then said maybe she simply hadn't noticed it before and started looking for previous photos to compare. Regardless of the intention behind the comment, the way it was brought up and communicated made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and self-conscious about my body right before my wedding. The slight bunching had never bothered me before and appeared to simply be part of how the dress sat on my body. The bustle wasn't done until my 3rd and final appointment. And unfortunately, after all of that, the single bustle broke during my wedding. For $600, I expected a much smoother experience and better workmanship for what were ultimately a hem and one bustle on a simple gown. Between the unnecessary appointment for my bridesmaid, the uncomfortable comments about my weight, having to come back a third time, and then having the bustle fail during the actual event, I personally would not return or recommend this experience to another bride. read more

Highly Recommend! I found LA Story through Yelp and the 5 star reviews were accurate. I had an amazing experience here! I brought in two dresses for alterations and another dress that needed tailoring, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. The attention to detail was exceptional, and each dress fit beautifully. Suzi and her team really took the time to make sure everything was just right, and the craftsmanship was excellent. You can tell they take pride in their work and truly care about making their customers happy. From the fitting to the finished dresses, the entire experience was professional, friendly, and stress-free. I'm so glad I found this place and will definitely be coming back for any future alterations or tailoring needs. read more

They work very quickly and efficiently, delivering high-quality results. The staff is very responsible. 10/10 I am very pleased with their work. read more

I brought in a suit and a dress for a wedding, and they did a phenomenal job on both! The quality of the work--especially on the suit--was truly impressive. Everything fit perfectly and looked so clean and professional. Yes, the pricing is on the higher end, but it's absolutely worth it for the craftsmanship and attention to detail you get here. The ladies who work there are all incredibly kind and helpful, and you can tell they really care about their customers. Just make sure to give them plenty of time to complete the alterations, as their quality work does take time. Overall, I'm so happy I chose this place and would definitely return for future alterations! read more

Excellent altering work on pants and friendly prompt service. Made good recommendations.

They did an amazing job with my MOB dress and my husband's suit. I would trust them 1000% to work on any alteration project. And they're really nice as well! read more

Had the absolute best experience here. Suzy is so talented and patient and is a true artist with what she's able to do!

LA Story was the only place that could help me with a very meaningful project. After driving all around town and speaking with multiple seamstresses who couldn't take it on, I posted the project on Yelp--and LA Story was the only one kind enough to respond. I wanted to have patches made from my dog's bed after he passed away. It was a sentimental request, and they treated it with such care and compassion from the very beginning. They were thoughtful, professional, and truly understood how important this was to me. The patches came out beautifully. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and I'm so grateful to have something so special to remember my dog by. If you're looking for skilled craftsmanship and genuinely kind people, I can't recommend LA Story enough. read more

Altered my wedding dress after two other places told me it couldn't be done. Little pricey but worth every dime.

The team was really kind, detail oriented, and direct with communication. I got my wedding dress tailored within a tight timeframe, and they were kind enough to accommodate. My dress looks gorgeous, and fits perfectly! Thank you so much! read more

I had a bridesmaid dress altered here. The alterations were reasonably priced, and finished quickly. I'll definitely come here again when I need tailoring. read more

Was just recommended by a friend to LA story and couldn't be happier. It feels like I found a hidden gem! I came here to have my outfits for an Indian wedding -significantly- altered and Suzy made magic happen. Suzy is hands down the best seamstress I've ever been to and has very fair pricing. I will be a customer for life! Can't recommend this business enough! read more

I cannot recommend Suzy and her shop more! I thrifted and brought in a wedding dress that was far too big for me. They were the first people to not laugh at my vision and they brought it to life! My dress fit perfectly and was brought up to my exact standards. It was done quickly and for a fair price. I will absolutely be bringing more pieces her. read more

Love everything about this place! I am mother of bride, brought dress that need alterations, suits too, So professional, timely! Reminded me like when my grandmother had her business!!! Thank you!!!! read more

Last spring, Suzy saved the day! After months of searching for the perfect mother of th groom dress, it arrived and I thought it was fantastic, until I realized the stitching was coming apart in the back. It was out of stock, and I couldn't reorder, so upon recommendation, I took it to Suzy to see if she could work her magic. She assured me that she could, and it would fit great. Thank you for your attention to detail and repair, Suzy. Thanks for not only making brides feel like a million bucks, but a mother of the groom as well! read more

I was in desperate need of a miracle and these ladies really came through with their creative minds. I bought a bridesmaid dress online and it would not zip up. They took it apart and added fabric to the sides from other areas of my dress and it looked better than when I bought it. Not to mention they are two of the kindest humans. One hundred percent recommend. read more

Suzy is absolutely extraordinary! She saved my wedding dress after it had been altered incorrectly and managed to shorten cutting the crinolines instead of the beautiful lace on the bottom. Suzy is so kind, has an excellent sense of clothes and fashion, and the shop has such a wonderful, warm environment. She made all my fittings fun, memorable experiences. I highly recommend going to her--in fact, I sent my parents, my maid of honor, my rehearsal dress, and my groom to get their alterations done by Suzy, too! I will definitely be back. read more

Susy was so amazing! I trusted her with my wedding dress tailoring and she did such a fantastic job! She made sure to completely understand my asks and show me what she'd recommend and ask my opinion about every step. She was super friendly and kind to work with and would absolutely recommend to anyone needing a tailor for their wedding dress or any tailoring! read more

I had a dress hemmed here recently, the work was top notch. I'm thrilled to have a true alterations and tailor shop so close to home and will be back with additional clothes I need an expert to work on that I didn't have a source to get altered in a way that I knew I'd be satisfied with. Price was absolutely fair, staff was delightful. This shop is true tailoring and bespoke clothing, that also happens to do alterations. read more

I came here during my break for med school because I really needed to have my white coats altered after losing weight and them swallowing me whole. I was really nervous to let anyone touch them because the quality is really nice and complicated to work with. I'm not sure if she's the owner (can't remember her name) but she did such a good job. The sizing is perfect and the material doesn't appear to be altered which is what I was going for. She got it back to me really quick and her prices were very reasonable. I plan to come back for other alterations in the future for other clothing because I saw her work on other customers that were in the store while I was there and it was great. Worth every penny I can't recommend her enough! read more

This is an updated review: still five stars of course! My dress fit like a glove and it's the most beautiful dress and made me feel gorgeous!! Will be taking it back to this shop to get it tailored into a tea length dress so I can hopefully wear it again in the future. Highly recommend! read more

Suzy is awesome! I came in to have a dress altered and she delivered exactly as we discussed. I was very careful in choosing the seamstress who will work on my dress as it has a very delicate lace material. I asked Suzy to remove the puffy shoulders and tighten the sleeves but enough for it to be still comfortable. She finished my dress much sooner, without sacrificing quality. Also, I found her service fee to be very reasonable. I highly recommend LA Story! read more

I had a need for a quick alteration on vegan leather pants I had purchased from Aritzia. The pants fit me perfectly everywhere EXCEPT for my waist, there was extra room in the waist that made them bow out. I had originally tried them on at the store, but bought them with the confidence that Suzy could work her magic and bring in the waistband to fit me correctly. The pictures are her best advocate, I could go on about how great her work is and the quality she puts into her projects. I couldn't believe how they fit me SO well, I love going to her, not to mention I needed the pants within the week I had brought them to her and she had them ready to go on time. read more

I needed some buttons added to some pants and also hemmed. I could find anyone in the simi valley area that could do it. Until LA Story. Super sweet. Fast and affordable. LA Story has become my go to for any alterations. She also makes really unique and comfortable clothing. I can't wear any of what I saw since I'm a guy but I know my wife would be very interested. Which scares me a little but it's all good. If you need anything altered. Do yourself a favor and give them a shot. You won't be disappointed. read more

I had the best experience given that this was my first time seeking out any place for alterations. I called a few other places but the communication wasn't as good and some wouldn't give me a lot of information. When I called LA Story, the owner gave me a quote for everything I wanted. Once I brought my suit in, she went through all the details, pricing was fair and the turn around time was just as discussed. In the end, I was really happy with the results and I can't wait to wear my suit! I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Incredible place to go to get alterations! The service is amazing and the work done was fantastic! Suzy was so kind helpful and did a fantastic job I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out!

I recommended her as well to a friend who is also in the same wedding as me and we were both very happy with the service and how iour dresses turned out! .
