I had lost weight after our first fitting of my wedding dress. She adjusted. Then I gained back some of the weight. She adjusted again! My dress had a quirky seam, and she was determined to fix how the hem lay. She worked on it and made sure she fixed it before my wedding deadline, coming in to work on my dress on her time off. Needless to say, my dress turned out beautiful and fit perfectly!

I just moved to Ventura to be with my Fiance and I needed to get my full lace Justin Alexander…read moreWedding Dress fitted in short notice and Lordis was amazing! I had heard of this place because my future mom n law would come here for dresses & fittings for her daughters dances, pagents, etc... for over 15 years. Lordis fit me that same day and said it would take a week maybe 2 to get the dress fitted bc they had to individually unsew the intriciate lace from the mesh keyhole, cut it to fit my back, frame, and neckline, and resew the lace perfectly so the dress looks untouched. She was extremely professional and sweet. The place on 5th street was rather old and the dressing rooms and mirror display area was pretty "vintage" but I still felt gorgeous in my gown fitting and super excited. (I bought my gown from Bella Bucci's on Main st! for a fair price and she had me try on 10-15 dresses, still bought the first one I tried on! Appointments only for Bella Bucci's but I walked in to get my appointment same day!) I was very nervous about getting my dress fitted because only a skilled seamstress knows how to correctly unsew and resew the intricate and delicate lace to mesh. To my surprise Lordis called me the very next day and said my dress was all ready to pick up! WHAT LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!! I went and retried it and it fit like a GORGEOUS glove to my body! AMAZING WORK! and super fast! She also charged me an extremely competitive price as I had been to other bridal tailors before going to Lordis w/ my new moms referral and she purposely said she would charge me less than the other quotes I got if I went with her. I am so happy about my dress and I will show pics of the work she did in a few weeks (AFTER MY WEDDING in case my Fiance snoops my Yelp! haha)! The 5th street location is now closed bc the building was bought but they are now in New Location in the Pacific Mall on Main st 1st floor! I am having Lordis fit my mother n laws dress today for my wedding Saturday!

I've been a fan of Tigerowl for several years. I first discovered the brand when I moved to Ventura…read morethrough Findings Market, and I've followed their work ever since. Tigerowl is a small sewing studio located in Midtown Ventura, and it truly stands out. The space feels welcoming and intentional, a reflection of the work happening inside. Summer runs Tigerowl as a one-woman team, offering garment mending, natural fiber clothing, and custom interior pieces, all rooted in thoughtful craftsmanship and sustainability. I've purchased several of Summer's natural fiber garments over the years, and they've held up beautifully. The pricing reflects the time, skill, and materials that go into each piece, and the value is absolutely there. These are comfortable, timeless pieces I actually reach for often, not trend-driven or disposable, but made to last. I've also brought in garments for mending, which has helped extend the life of clothes I already love. Knowing my items are being repaired thoughtfully rather than rushed makes it feel worth every penny. Tigerowl is open by appointment for shopping, and Summer also offers textile workshops including sewing classes, block printing, and embroidery. These classes are a rare opportunity to learn hands-on skills, reconnect with making, and better understand the labor behind clothing. I'm especially looking forward to taking an embroidery class in the new year. Summer is kind, patient, and deeply committed to sewing education and sustainability. If you value quality over quantity and care about supporting truly independent makers, Tigerowl is well worth supporting.

I rarely write reviews, but the service I received at Van Gundy today was absolutely worthy of…read moretaking the time. I recently purchased a beautiful ring online from another seller. I loved the ring, but the setting appeared slightly warped and the center stone was not sitting completely straight. I scheduled an appointment at Van Gundy to have it assessed and find out whether it could be repaired or if I would need to have an entirely new setting made for my stones. They took the ring to the back so their jeweler could inspect it and prepare a repair estimate. Within just a few minutes, the jeweler had straightened the center stone, repositioned and tightened the prongs, and fully assessed the ring's structural integrity. Their verdict? No new setting was needed. The asymmetry was minor and fixable, the stones were secure, and they had even cleaned the ring. Then they told me there was no charge. What?! They repaired my ring for free and, in the process, talked themselves out of a potential sale. That level of honesty and integrity is rare. It is clear that Van Gundy is focused on building long-term relationships with clients rather than making a quick sale. I will absolutely be returning for future jewelry needs. 10/10 recommend.
