My wife and I entrusted Lani's to alter both her wedding dress and my suit for our elopement wedding. We discovered them via a list of tailors provided by the bridal shop where her wedding dress was purchased. Naturally we both wanted to look perfect for our special day, and my wife was hesitant entrusting anyone to alter such a significant investment. After meeting Dora Lee her anxiety rapidly subsided. It was evident that the care and compassion Dora exuded during her introductory meeting would be displayed in her dress. This comfort and trust were further reciprocated by entrusting them with the altering of my suit in conjunction with the dress. She was also able to make wonderful suggestions regarding wardrobe accompaniments for the perfect look, all being a further reflection of her talent and abilities! In an era of price often being the selecting factor, there are once in a lifetime occasions where trust and service are paramount. The team at Lani's is certainly an example of your best option for all of your wardrobe needs! read more

I came here to get my wedding dress(es) altered. I had two dresses, a ceremony dress and a reception dress; both of which were rather complicated as they had a lot of lace appliqué and I had gotten them custom made. Dora was upfront about the pricing and gave me a few different options on what kinds of alterations could be done and the trade-off of quality with pricing. She was very efficient in taking my measurements, and my dresses came out perfectly! I'll definitely update this review with pictures once I've had my wedding -- they came out absolutely gorgeous and totally snatched my waist LOL. Technical quality aside, I also wanted to highlight how kind, bubbly, and fun Dora is. I felt super welcome and at-home thanks to her! Highly recommend coming here! read more

Lani's exudes expertise. Came here for alterations on a new suit. We've had other alterations done here, one quite tricky, and they were all done really well. She is a good listener and is great at helping you understand what alterations to make for things to look good. I felt like I got expert advice. I think if you want the job done right and you want to have confidence in how it will turn out, this is the place to go. read more

I've only had good experiences at Lani's, and I highly recommend this shop. I first used Lani's a few years ago to hem some jeans, and the work was great. I didn't have any reason to go back to Lani's until recently, when I needed to get a wedding/elopement dress altered. I bought a dress online, and it fit alright for off-the-rack, but was very loose in the chest and too long, so I made an appointment online at Lani's and took the dress in. At the shop, Dora was very warm, friendly, and helpful. She really put me at ease. She knew immediately what needed to be altered and how; she knew exactly what cups I would need for a built-in bra and where the bodice could be taken in. She also has an incredible eye for details. For example, I didn't really notice the extra fabric around my hips, but when she pinned it off to show me what the alteration would look like, she made my silhouette look very sleek, elegant, and balanced. Dora broke the pricing down for me and let me pick which alterations I wanted (I chose all of them because she showed me exactly what each alteration would look like). She warned me wedding dresses could take up to 3 months, depending on complexity, but she got my dress back to me in exactly 3 weeks to the day. The dress looks amazing, and I'm so happy with it. It fits like a glove and better than what I even thought possible. The quality of Lani's work is second to none, and she gets it right the first time. I highly recommend this shop, and I'll be a repeat customer. read more

Had my wedding dress altered and it was the best experience! Dora is so wonderful to work with, and the quality of the alteration was superb! It was on the pricier side, but it was worth the peace of mind for me. It fit like a GLOVE and I am so in love with it!! Would 100% go back for quality tailoring and to chat with Dora :) read more

I have been a loyal customer of Lani's Tailor and Atelier since 2022 when they altered my dress for high school senior photos, and this year they perfectly altered my equestrian shadbelly. Both garments were transformed beautifully with impeccable attention to detail. What really sets the shop apart is their incredible customer service; the staff is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about getting every detail right. They take the time to understand exactly what you're looking for and deliver exactly when promised. Whether you need alterations for a special occasion or specialized equestrian wear, I cannot recommend Lani's Tailor and Atelier highly enough. read more

I can't even begin to describe how incredible this place is! From the moment I walked in I felt so welcomed and cared for by Dora. I picked up my wedding dress and it blew my expectations away!!!

My daughter's seamstress cancelled on her twice, and we were running out of time before the wedding. I called Lani's and spoke with Dora, explaining our situation. She immediately understood how stressful it was and got us in the very next day for a fitting. Dora was amazing -- she explained that only one fitting would be needed because their alterations are done with such precision. She promised we'd have the dress ready in time, and she delivered exactly that! The alterations were perfect, and it truly only took one fitting. Dora really knows her stuff, and I was beyond impressed with her skill and professionalism. So grateful we found Lani's! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Lani's on my wedding dress and I'm so glad I did! Dora helped me with the fittings and was so kind, detailed and honest about the alterations I would need. She had such expert advice about my dress and how it should fit, and helped me focus on what elements could be prioritized. Even though I thought I was ahead of schedule bringing my dress in early for my fitting, I ended up losing weight and needed last minute alterations just weeks before the big day. Dora talked me off the edge and made sure I was ready to go last minute! I felt very confident in the work that was done on my dress and was thrilled with the end result. Wedding planning is hard enough, I'm so glad I went with Lani's! read more

I only have positive things to say about my experience with Lani's! I stopped by in mid-June and I immediately felt welcomed and comfortable once I walked in. I requested a month turnaround time and they were able to accommodate me. (Even though they prefer much more notice, They made it happen!) I had 2 dresses that were hemmed to perfection! Inserts were sewn into the Ceremony dress and I'm soooo glad I went with their recommendation. The reception dress now looks like it's doubled in value, the tailoring is amazing and kisses the floor perfectly. You may be able to find another shop with lower rates, but you get what you pay for. The service and craftsmanship at Lani's it's hard to beat and was worth what I paid for. My friends and family have not stopped raving about how beautiful the dresses were! read more

I've spent most of my life in t-shirts and jeans, but on the rare occasion I need to look my best, Lani's is there to make it happen! Over the years they've helped me make several cheap ASOS specials look like they were designed just for me, but last year I decided to try something a bit more unique for my best friends gothic themed wedding. I put together an outfit with a dark western theme that included a patterned kei suit jacket, basic black slacks and a heavily textured undershirt. I already knew what to expect with the slacks and jacket, but that undershirt was a very unique shape to start with, think SUPER puffy with tight, tall cuffs... not flattering, haha! I was starting to regret my choices before the fitting, but Dora knew exactly what I was trying to accomplish and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out! Now I have a fairly modular look that I can use for upscale events and still feel like myself. Thanks to Dora and the team at Lani's for helping me pull it off! read more

Lani's team made my wedding dress an absolute customized dream and one that I can continue to wear for decades to come. From raising the skirt, the corset backing, the sleeves, out of a dress entirely of tulle. Everything was absolutely perfect and better than I had imagined, down to the tiniest detail. My dress was definitely a conversation piece and I am sure it will continue to be. Absolutely worth the price and wait. It was so hard to wait to post my review until after the wedding. So thank you, for making this an absolute party! read more

I scheduled an appointment online and brought in three pieces: a Yohji Yamamoto cotton button-up, a slub cotton tee, and a polyester concert jersey. Dora was welcoming and helpful, walking me through exactly how I wanted each piece hemmed. She was transparent about their luxury pricing upfront, explaining that most customers bring in dresses rather than everyday items. The three basic crop hems cost around $100 plus tax (roughly $30-35 per piece) with an estimated 1-week turnaround per item. Pleasant surprise: they finished almost two weeks early without any notice needed. On my second visit, I called for a drop-in appointment to alter my Acne Studios Baggy Jeans. They usually only take appointments online, but she was nice enough to let me come by since I only had 1 item to bring in. Dora clearly explained their approach for waist alterations--taking in the center back seam rather than using darts, which maintains better construction quality. I originally wanted both waist and inseam alterations, but decided against shortening the inseam since it would remove the original hem. The waist alteration alone was $285, plus an additional $90 to restitch the leather back pockets due to the mixed materials. Total came to around $430 with tax. Dora was completely upfront about pricing and even suggested I might want to return the jeans for a different size instead. Since I got them on sale, that wasn't an option, but I appreciated her honesty. Two of the three pieces from my first visit show exceptional craftsmanship. The stitching on the Yohji Yamamoto shirt and slub cotton tee looks factory-perfect--comparable to high-end cut-and-sew shops in LA. The polyester jersey had slightly uneven cutting (understandable given how that fabric behaves) and one small threading issue on the inner hem that's not visible when worn. At these prices, I expect perfection even on difficult materials, but it's a minor flaw. Picture of it provided below. For basic alterations, your local dry cleaner will suffice. But if you have luxury or archive pieces that need expert care, Lani's delivers quality that justifies the premium pricing. I'm currently waiting on my jeans and already planning to bring more pieces. read more

The hem was fine but for $750.00 ? I wished I'd asked earlier how much Lani charged. So, you may want to first ask for an estimate asking for a firm price. And before you deliver, check out local dry cleaner's, who may offer basic adjustments at far more reasonable costs. read more

Lani's tailor was a lifesaver for my wedding dress! I had taken my dress to a different business to alter it who had botched it. I went to Lani's and they were able to custom make the top part of my dress to fix it and made it look so beautiful! They were also able to do this in about a month timeframe. I was so grateful to them and how it turned out :) Customer service was amazing too. Dora was so nice and attentive and truly cared about my dress, me, and how I felt. I highly recommend them! read more

I cannot recommend Lani's Tailor & Atelier enough. I have never worked with a business that made me feel as special as Dora and her team did. I dropped my dress of in February 2022 with the information that my wedding was going to be in early July. I was able to get my beautiful dress completely custom fit to my body. The team at Lani's had to completely deconstructed my glass like gown to add in boning as well as shorten the straps to fit my short torso. I never had any worries regarding leaving my dress in their care. The price for the alteration was also very reasonable for the genuine craftsmanship that Lani's provided. I cannot wait to wear this gown atop a glacier for my wedding! read more

I had an amazing experience at Lani's Tailor while getting my wedding tuxedo tailored. Dora went above and beyond to ensure I looked my best. Lani's Tailor gets very busy during the summer, so I highly recommend coming in as early as possible to avoid the 45% rush fee that I had to pay. Although the adjustments weren't cheap, the quality of the work was worth every penny. Dora offered thorough advice on everything from the color of my pocket square to how to position my tuxedo for the best photos. She even suggested patterned black socks that added a stylish accent to the overall look. Given how busy they are, I suggest calling ahead to book an appointment. I would definitely return to Lani's Tailor in the future. Highly recommended! read more

I stopped by without an appointment to have my mandarin dress altered and a rip repaired, not realizing they usually only take new clients by appointment only. Dora welcomed me in, helped me change into my dress, and took my measurements and requests without hesitation. I wasn't in any hurry with the dress and was given a pick-up date of 3 weeks out, but the following day, Dora called to leave a message stating that she had asked to have the dress prioritized, and it would be done in a week. The alterations turned out perfectly, and I truly appreciated the quality of work and Dora's help and graciousness. read more

The quality and level of service at Lani's is the best in industry. If you have a special occasion dress, dress shirt, or work pant needing to be adjusted, they can work magic. They are well worth the visit to ensure your clothes fit you. I appreciate their honesty and consulting when I bring in something that is far from saving - I need to hear the truth sometimes. Give Lani's a call ahead of time to ensure you have the full consultation time during your visit. read more

Lanis tailor is the absolute best!!!!! Lani & Dora are the sweetest ever and just made the tailoring process for my wedding dress the best. I knew my dress was in great hands when I handed it over to them. From the moment I walked in the door Dora made me feel like I've been a long time customer she is just the sweetest and I would go back just to see her again. My wedding dress after it was tailored ended up fitting like a glove!!!! It looked amazing after I tried it on!! They also worked with me to make off the shoulder sleeves for my dress because the original dress I had, had this tulle material that made the dress look so cheap. But lani designed it perfectly and it worked so much better with my dress! I got my dress hemmed, bustled, Added a butt tuck(must do!!!), off the shoulder, and added built in cups so I didn't need to wear a bra! read more

I want to thank Dora and the team at Lani's Tailor for the exceptional experience and service I received! I received my wedding dress from Kleinfeld in July, when my wedding was just around the corner in August. Dora was able to help me squeeze in an appointment to be seen and the team created a beautiful bustle for my incredibly heavy silk dress. The bustle held all night! I would not have trusted anyone else with the dress. They have incredible attention to detail and are so kind in the store. Thank you so much! read more

I went to Lani's Tailor & Atelier to get a bridesmaid dress altered for my best friend's wedding. They did a fantastic job.

Another wonderful experience at Lani's. I had taken in my wedding dress to the place the bridal shop had recommended. I had an ok experience but felt like something was still off so I took it into Lani's. Dora was amazing and helped me decide to shorted the train as well as the rest of my dress so I was able to actually walk. I felt so relieved after leaving the shop knowing my dress was in good hands. The whole experience was incredible and I felt so taken care of. The dress came out perfect and I could not have been happier with the experience. I highly recommend Lani's. read more

I would recommend this place to everyone who needs alterations! They are professional and high quality, it shows in their work. I had a bridesmaid dress hemmed and it costed me $190. It's a little more expensive but when I got the dress back, it was beautiful. You couldn't tell it had any work done. The other bridesmaid's had their dresses hemmed but it was poorly done by another shop. They were not happy with it, they paid $90 or so. Everyone, be mindful of the saying "you get what you paid for" I will happily pay $190 for professionalism, high quality work with zero headache. I don't know about you all but I enjoy not having to worry about unnecessary concerns. Dora and the rest of the team took care of me. I am a forever client. read more

Lani's Tailor & Atelier - Bridesmaids dress that was hemmed. It rained in the morning but my dress stayed dry, even through the photos. No photoshop needed here - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Redmond, Washington

WOW, I wish I could give Lani's a 1000000 out of 5!! The week before my wedding, I picked up my dress only to find that none of the alterations had been done correctly. The sleeves were too long, the built-in cups were humongous and the width of the dress was too wide. The dress literally fell off my shoulders, exposing my chest. It was a nightmare. I immediately started calling seamstresses - and it's extremely difficult to find one with availability, as all places are backed up due to postponed COVID weddings. I called Lani's around 6:15PM (45 mins before closing) and spoke to Dora. After speaking with her for only a few minutes, I had an ounce of hope! She told me to come in that evening and even kept the store open late and cancelled her evening plans to take a look at the dress. Upon arrival, Dora immediately got to work - and within 30 minutes, she was able to pin and clip the dress to fit me perfectly. She was determined to get the dress completed within 1 week. The total alterations price was hefty, but she was able to help us decide on which alterations met our price point. When I think of professionalism and customer service, I'm not joking when I say Dora and the staff at Lani's Tailor and Atelier left me with the BEST customer experience I have ever had. Period! Dora is incredibly knowledgeable in her work, and is sweet, kind and caring. She saved my life! I cannot recommend Lani's enough. If you're looking for a trustworthy tailor or seamstress, look no further - they have you covered! read more

Lani's Tailor & Atelier - My fixed wedding dress courtesy of Lani's! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I've gone to Lani's Tailor over the last several years and am always happy to return for alteration services. While their pricing is probably more on the higher end, the exceptional quality of the work and overall thoughtfulness of their customer service makes it definitely worth it. :) Examples of services they've done: I brought in a dress because the stitching on one sleeve came unraveled. Not only did they fix that sleeve, but they also reinforced the other sleeve as well as a complimentary service. One winter, I brought in my large parka to get a pocket fixed, thinking it wouldn't be done for a few more weeks, but soon after a snowfall came in the following days, they gave me a call that morning and let me know the coat was fixed since they wanted me to be prepared for the weather! Another time, I had just ordered a new dress that arrived with a tear. In addition to fixing the tear on a short notice, they had also helpfully reinforced some of the seams on the straps, so that the dress would not suffer any further tears from the weight of the skirt. I was more than happy to bring in my wedding dress for alterations, and Dora was transparent with the estimate of all requested services, not pressuring me into accepting on the spot, and encouraging me to price shop if I needed to. For me, the peace of mind of leaving my dress at Lani's, vs risking the tricky alterations with a different tailor, was well worth the cost. And as it came out, the dress was altered beautifully. When I initially noticed the hem seemed shorter than I thought, Dora listened to my offhand remarks seriously and figured out we needed to fit on the dress at the correct height, which made the hem just right. Dora and Andrea have always been so consistently professional to work with and their tailoring and hospitality is phenomenal. read more

I LOVE this place (and especially Dora!) I have been going here since 2019 and have gotten everything done from a simple hem on a pair of jeans to complex tailoring done on a handmade, fully rhinestoned ballroom dress! The quality is always impeccable and I would trust no one else with any garment that I cared about! The customer service is AMAZING. First off, the space is beautiful, so going in is always a treat. Dora is the sweetest, loveliest person I have ever met, not to mention her talent! She fully hears what you want and makes it happen! I've had a couple of fashion emergencies and she has always gotten my garment to me by the time I need it. You will find nothing else like Lani's! read more

I am still waiting for my dress to be hemmed, but the cost I paid to get hem is $2100 (A-line.) She told me it will cost that much because my dress has lots of layer.

My spouse has been here multiple times so I decided to try them out when I needed my wedding jumpsuit altered.

I was able to enjoy my wedding without worrying about an outfit mishap. read more

This is so long overdue but I had to share the incredible experience I had with Lani's and especially Dora. First, their work is incredible! I lost a significant amount of weight and my dress essentially needed to be split open at the seams. It was basically like a new dress when I put it back on when they were done. I also had them do my rehearsal dinner dress which was a little big on me as well. My husband had his tux altered here on short notice and they did incredible work. They're always reliable and when they quote you a time, you can guarantee it will be done by then. Secondly, Dora is amazing! She's the sweetest lady but she's also super knowledgeable. She helped me select my rehearsal dinner dress and accessories, talked through my hair and make up styles and just went above and beyond when it comes to customer service. She made the whole experience completely stress free. I highly recommend Lani's for all your tailoring needs! You will not be disappointed. read more

I've passed by Lani's many times during walks around Redmond, so it was always a front runner when I was beginning to plan my wedding. I ordered a wedding dress custom-made from overseas, which highly increased the chances I'd have to get it altered. This was indeed the case. That is the situation I found myself in when I arrived at Lani's for alterations. Dora was a warm and welcoming presence during the whole experience, and when I came to the business very uncertain about what I could do to get the dress to fit, she was incredibly assuring in my options. She also suggested a few things (adjusting the strap length) that I didn't even think about. I got a cute bottle of Martinelli's as a congratulations for my milestone (which I thought was incredibly sweet). With that, my wedding dress was in their hands. The result was worth every penny. The dress looked even more custom made for me than the original -- the corset back sewed in was stunning, and the strap adjustment was the perfect suggestion. I'm truly ecstatic to wear this dress, and Dora gave me and my mom all the instructions to get the look perfect the day of. The dress aside, the amount of love and care that I felt from the establishment was truly unexpected. Dora let me know that they sewed in good wishes and prayers towards a happy and healthy marriage with every stitch -- it is so rare that I've felt that someone truly cared about the craftsmanship of something they made for me, but I felt it here. I don't plan on having more than one wedding, but I certainly hope for another opportunity to come back and get something tailored at such a wonderful place. I highly recommend this business! read more

I would definitely recommend coming here to Lani's. I had an exceptional experience with Dora. She took away all the stress from me. She didn't only help me with my dress but she also was able to help me with my daughter's alterations. Both of our dresses came out looking like they were taken out of a fairytale. Not to mention when we went in for the measurements and fittings, it was nothing short of an amazing vibe. I was helped in person by Dora but the work her team executed is magnificent. I'm from Los Angeles and I can appreciate the time and effort Lani's provided me with. Definitely a 10/10 experience. Thank you, Dora and Team! read more
