I've taken many items in to hem or alter. They're always ready when promised and well executed. There's a reason all these reviews are 5 stars. read more

queen at altering clothes!!! very efficient and timely:-) i've tried a lot of shops around the peninsula so i'm so happy to have finally found someone like Libra! read more

Libra helped me create drapes for my master bedroom. She was creative and willing to take on the heavy lifting.

I rarely review services in here, but I felt the need to give this place a shout out because she's never missed on my clothes and has got them done right the first time every time. I am almost 40 and I've never needed alterations but recently had a promotion where I needed some nicer clothes. I wanted the pants to fit perfect so I stopped by Libra's one day and it is now my go to place whether it is jackets or pants. I've taken at least 20 items in during the last two years and the price is always fair and the clothes are always on time. Recently she's been doing patches for me on various jackets and I get so many compliments. She charges about $20 for pants and $10 for shirts which is well worth it to feel good in your clothes! read more

Libra is consistently very good and can mend and/or alter any kind of garment. She has an exquisite eye and impeccable taste when it comes to the style of a garment and how it can be improved. She is fast and meticulous. I highly recommend her services! read more

Excellent customer service. I called in a panic right before going on vacation when I realized my pants were too long. Called and asked if They could rush the alteration. In and out in an hour. They truly came to the rescue. read more

Always friendly and professional with quality work. Repeat customer at this point and will be back for next project too. Thank you

I popped in to have my measurements taken for a custom dress that I'm ordering. The woman working (I'm assuming the owner but I didn't get her name) was VERY kind and helpful. She took my measurements gave me pointers on things I need to consider (how tall my heels will be etc). I will definitely be coming here for all my alteration needs in the future. It's an easy place to drive past but I parked on the street of Forest drive (I didn't see a parking lot and it was a busy road), Maybe try to approach coming from Prescott turning right onto Forest as opposed to David turning left onto Forest. read more

I have taken three items to Libra and she did a really professional and tailored job on all. Two were formal dresses (hemming and adjusting bodices) and one a pair of jeans (restructured to be boot cut vs. wide leg). She's also very efficient and squeezed me in "last-minute" which I greatly appreciated! I'm taking in a floor length velvet gown today, so I'll update my review. Highly recommend her services! read more

Libra did such great work! I was really happy with the speed of her turnaround. She completed my mending the same day! Recently, I have literally had alterations at two other places of business. Both of them had my mending for two months! Now I'm grateful for all of the trouble I went through with them, because it got me looking for someone new, and helped me to find Libra!! read more

I recently moved to Monterey and was struggling to find a tailor. I had sleeves removed from a dress a couple of months ago and later brought in some jeans to inquire about getting them altered. Libra did an amazing job on the dress and I was very thankful for her suggestion on the jeans, she saved me a lot of money! I've been wanting to start getting more clothing tailored and I will be taking all of my husbands and my clothes altered from her moving forward. read more

I am pretty good at sewing and repairs,myself, but am often strapped for time so I'm so grateful to have found Libra, who is kind and efficient. Her turnover time is admirable, her prices are reasonable and she's always very pleasant. Highly recommend. read more

I brought in a few suits to see if she could alter them. Libra was very knowledgeable,and knew exactly what I wanted as far as fit. She's very good at communicating her opinions,and exactly what alterations she's going to perform.I'll be using her for all my alterations from now on. read more

Called one day in October inquiring about a quick hemming of jeans. She said get over here cuz she was gonna close in a few hours, so we rushed there. Service was $20 or 25. Can't remember. It was a great job and a pleasant experience and a good price!! Recommend. read more

I came to Libras Alterations with a very last minute request to hem my maid of honor dress and I was so impressed! Fantastic customer service. I will definitely be coming back for other alterations in the future. read more

I went here to get alterations done on my prom dress. Libra, the owner was so nice and super helpful. I was honestly very nervous because not only was I shortening the dress I needed to add a slit as well. She assured me that there was nothing to worry about and that she would make sure I loved the dress. It only took few days till I came back in. She noticed it was fitting weird around the slit and told me she could fix it, which she did in a matter of seconds! The price was amazing and I loved the outcome. Had an amazing prom! Thank you Libra! read more

See all

Excellent tailor and very fast and efficient. I've come to her twice to fix a vest and jacket and she did an amazing job. Her prices are bit steep compared to other tailors I've been to, but she does quality work. read more

Definitely recommend going to see Libra for any alterations. She's very sweet. Recently just went to see her for an alteration on my gown for the Navy Ball. I valued her opinion on the alterations on my dress and everything came back perfect! I will be going back to see her for any future alterations needed read more

If you need a great tailor, Libra is who you need to see. My wife and I have both taken items to her with excellent results. She can do delicate women's clothing alterations as well as men's suits, pants and even uniform items according to regulations (if you show her the regs). She was even able to replace the sweatband on an antique cap I picked up overseas! She will also nicely help you decide if the tailoring job is worth doing by explaining and showing what the job entails. Her prices are reasonable especially for the Pacific Grove area and she is very nice, professional and as accommodating as possible. read more

Best tailor in town! Always friendly, professional, and great at her work. She asks lots of questions so you get exactly what you want. I've given her a couple jobs I thought would be complicated but they came back perfect. Can't recommend her enough! read more

Amazing service and quality. Owner operator is reliable and efficient. I needed pants hemmed for a wedding which only cost $15. Then I realized stupid men's Warehouse gave me a size too small on my neck and needed help so she moved the top button over a smidge in a few minutes it was perfect. read more

By far the best alterations place I've ever been to and I've moved around a lot! Super quick service and my dress fit perfect...highly recommend! read more

Needed to get a dressed hemmed for a wedding. I found Libra on Yelp, called, brought my dress in the same day. I needed to get ~4 inches trimmed off from the hem of my dress and the wedding I was attending was in 2 weeks. She let me know she would have the dress done the following weekend after dropping it off. The dress was ready when promised and hemmed perfectly. It wore great and I would come back here for any other alternations I need. Note that this place is cash only. 10/10 would recommend :) read more

I needed someone close by for alterations and I am so fortunate to have found Libra! She provides amazing service the quality is excellent. An amazing job from work to my mother of the groom dress. read more

Libra's did a great job on my ball gown with very short notice (1 day) and a reasonable price. I will be using her again in the near future. read more

Libra's is great! I've used her three time for bridesmaid dresses I needed altered. She is quick and her work is flawless. She is also extremely sweet. read more

I have been going here for years. The owner does a great job with any alteration that I give her and she is professional and has a quick turn-around. Highly recommend! read more

Technically very competent, but either I don't speak clear English or the proprietor doesn't take notes on what is desired. Came in to get a pair of pants let down. She marked the pant leg to indicate what I wanted and when I got them back they had been SHORTENED. Brought in pants to have the front waistband lowered. When I got them back the two front belt loops were missing. I had to pay a second time to get new ones crafted out of the hem material. Two pairs of dress slacks needed to be taken in, and we agreed the amount taken in would be tapered to midcalf, preserving the hem exactly as it was, like is done DAILY in shops around the world. My two pairs? Tapered all the way through the bottom, meaning I had to pay--you guessed it--AGAIN to get the problem fixed. Lengthened yet another pair of slacks, but she put a seam on the outside of the pant leg, as you would with jeans. Yet ANOTHER pair: took in a pair of slacks in the waist and rear, and instead of leaving the extra material to be pressed flat against the seat SHE CUT OFF THE EXTRA, meaning they can never be adjusted again. Who's got the money to do everything twice? read more

I have taken many things to Libra and she has never disappointed me in the quality of her work and how well the items fit. There have been several times when we put a rush on a job - needed it 1-2 days later - big jobs too, and she has always accommodated. I think that her prices are reasonable, because her quality is spot on. Simple alterations are low priced, and those jobs that are a bit more complicated she charges more as she should. BEST TAILOR EVER! read more

Libra did beautiful alterations on my favorite dresses! I needed them quickly for an event and to my delight she was able to deliver despite the tricky fabric and design issues. She is smart, knows her craft and assessed the best way to make the dresses fit as desired. In addition to her superb skill she is a lovely and pleasant person. Her business is kept beautifully clean and is very comfortable. I have been to less costly tailors in the past but Libra's workmanship and the resulting fit is superior. I will be back! read more

I brought in a few pairs of hiking pants that needed a few tricky alterations. A previous tailor had not done a very good job. Libra did a wonderful job at a very fair price. I'm very glad to have found her! read more

lovely delightful happy talented woman, EXCELLENT seamstress, husband/boyfriend "discovered" her, she tailored his favorite LOOSE Rolling Stones T shirt, as she stated "to show some muscle". he told me "you just need to go meet her". he is now addicted, has taken several of his favorite old-but-barely-worn-T's to her. too bad we can't bottle Libra's personality & "alma" & sell that. great job & a delight to do business with. i took her a "self-altered" sweater [my sewing sucks] to repair....thank you, Libra! talented seamstress & magnificent cure for "grumpyness" just talking with her. THANK YOU, LIBRA! read more
