I went in for alternating and she did my measurements and gave me advice on how to size and wear my clothes and leveled up my whole life. Highly recommend read more

Sorry, but this was just sloppy work. I'm genuinely so surprised by the good reviews on here. Take a look at the pictures as they speak for themselves. The hemming at the bottom of the dress is cut at an angle and asymmetric. The length of the two sleeves she hemmed do not match. One is 15 inches and the other is 14.5 inches. The price was not cheap either. I'm lucky this was a casual city hall dress and not the actual wedding dress. One star for her friendliness Second star for the fast turn around But I will not be returning read more

Ling saved my life by altering a dress that I needed for a formal event. The turnaround time was super quick and her pricing was reasonable for what I wanted. Thanks to Ling, I was able to wear the perfect dressed and represent my son proudly. read more

Went here on the recommendation of a mutual. I had a lot of high hopes for this place but didn't live up to the standard. I called to make an appointment on Saturday. I needed the dress hemmed by next Friday and that my next availability would be Tuesday. She told me that it would be possible as it is just to hem the dress. I decide to bring in another dress that needed a hem to kill two birds with one stone. I really only needed 1 dress to be done quick, while the other one didn't need to be rushed. The total price for two dresses was $100 which I thought was absolutely ridiculous. I could have walked out but I really didn't have any other options as my time was running out. I'm curious if the price was so high because of the rush on the items, but there was literally nothing special about the pieces I had brought in. The material was easy to cut through, it didnt need any cinching, or other types of alterations. I hoped that the price would speak for itself, but ultimately I didn't think that $100 was worth the price. I really wished that it worked out because I'm short and need things to be hemmed all the time. Sad to say I will not be coming back. read more

Ling works fast! I've brought so many dresses that needed help. She knows what she is doing, prices are relatable to other tailoring shops. Ample parking. Call first for appointment... no walk in service. read more

Fantastic alterations, great personality! Fast and convenient! Highly recommend if you are in need of alterations! read more

This business is not flexible for consumers who have a 49 hour week job. Also, hours are hit and miss difficult to contact business.

Needed an alteration for my suit. ( Lost 45 lbs ) She was able to do it with 4 days notice. Great job, price was reasonable and she was very nice. Will be going back for my other suits. read more

Able to have pants shortened in one day for a trip abroad for a fair price. Not easy as the pants had side zippers.

My daughter's dress needed hemming for prom. I admit I lacked planning, and left tailoring until the last minute, but Ling's fit us in. This was more than just tailoring. It was a whole experience. My daughter left more confident in her dress than when we brought it in. Thank you Ling's Tailoring & Alterations for the pep talk you gave. My daughter definitely remembered to keep her shoulders back and head up. read more

Ms Ling took my tired old hoodie and breathed new life into it! I really loved this hoodie I got over 20 years ago - fits me just right, is the right weight to wear year-round, and even my cat loves to cuddle with me when I'm wearing it... but the zippers were broken, the pockets were coming apart, holes were wearing into the elbows and the sleeves were fraying. After a good laugh at its condition, Ms Ling was able to work her magic - replaced the zippers and fixed the pockets, patched the elbows and reinforced the sleeve cuffs with her own material! I will always come back to Ms Ling for my tailoring! read more

This place is trustworthy and honest! Very nice people. I can't say anymore, as it won't let me post a short one.

I needed my dress for wedding on Monday 07/07/25. Never told us she would be close Fourth of July , Saturday or Monday. She just cost my husband and me $500.00. Need to rush to buy another outfit. read more

Excellent tailoring on my pants and what a lifesaver, thank you so much! Nice, clean facility and welcoming, too. :)

I'm local but had never been here before. I took a chance and went to see Ling. Although it was appointment based, she got me in right the next day to do a wedding dress alteration. I love that she didn't over sell me. She knew just what was needed and was confident. She was always smiling. My dress was done in a week (went in, in March, a month before the wedding). The price was super reasonable,I've had a wedding dress altered in the past and paid an arm and a leg, and I didn't love how it fit. Even for my reception dress, I came in and did a simple fix for me that others would have charged just for that consult. THANK YOU SO MUCH! read more

Just an absolutely horrible personality. She has a tiny sign on her door that says appointments only. Instead of telling you that when you walk in, she rudely taps on the sign, as if I walk by her business every day and should know that. The correct way to serve customers would be to say "I'm so sorry, we are appointments only. Can I get you scheduled for one?" This leaves me with no place to get alterations in Fairfield, as there are only two businesses and they are both terrible. read more

I whole heartedly recommend Ling's Tailoring. Her expertise and suggestions were truly appreciated on the alterations my dress needed. Her delightful personality made my appointment stress free and the value of her knowledge was well worth the price. read more

I have been using Ling's services for at least 15 years. She is always friendly and welcoming. Her service and expertise is great and she is extremely knowledgeable when it comes ti alterations. She will give you her honest opinion as far as whether or not she can do what you are asking. If she thinks it is not worth your money, she will be honest and not try to convince you ti do something if she thinks it won't look or fit right. It is appointment only, but she is pretty flexible. Remember to pay in cash or with a credit card (extra $2 charge). read more

I've used Lings before had a ok experience. I tried to go there today without an appointment, I figured if she was not with anyone then maybe she could squeeze me in... WRONG. She was waiting for an appointment at 11am I was there at 10:20, first she ignored me then when she finally opened the door she asked "was I the 11 o'clock appointment"? I said no but hoping you can squeeze me in just needed to drop off something. She would only say "would you like to make an appointment"? I said no that's ok and walked away. You know we constantly hear how small business always need support, but when you have this experience at a small business you start to fig well maybe not all need full support. Well ok taking my business somewhere else!! read more

I had moved to CA recently to get marry and so I needed to find a local seamstress. I'd looked around and figured to support a local (& Asian) shop. I read all the reviews I could and decided to set up a consult with Ling. Normally brides book alterations 2-4 months in advance due to the busy season and to ensure a date. Ling suggested that it'd be best to book alterations at least 6 weeks out from the wedding date. This is because I will be closest to my size for the wedding day. It made sense to me and I was okay with it. Once I arrived to my appointment, I was dissatisfied and disappointed in what she was only able to do. My wedding dress material is crepe, with some boning on the inside- as a built in corset to keep the shape of the dress around my waist to the hips and also along the bust. She'd suggested to only adjusting the straps on the shoulders, add a bustle, and hem the length (for $350)! My dress also had straps that falls off to the side of my shoulders that need to be fitted more. She wasn't going to adjust those and said it's supposed to look like that! I had 1 inch gap between my arm and the straps off my shoulders. And the straps don't drape like what you think. It hugs onto your arms. I'd told her no, it's supposed to be slightly fitted as stated and shown to me at the bridal shop that I got my dress form. Plus there's an elastic band so it'll still be stretchy once adjusted. She then agreed to adjust those. I also wanted the extra material off the hips to be more fitted and she said no it looked fine and didn't need it done. I also needed the bust more stitched in because I have a smaller bust. The material on top of the bust kept sticking out. It didn't lie flushed along my chest. She said I can use double sided tape to tape down the material. I'd also requested for bra cups to be sew in my dress. I already had the cups that came with the dress but I wanted something with more support. She said it was fine and I can use just the stick-on bra cups that can be found on Amazon. I had also ordered a rhinestone belt off Etsy that was 2 inches too long. It had a hook clasp. The seller stated it can be adjusted. Ling looked at it and said no it can't because the hook was superglued and machine sew, not hand sew. She told me to buy the belts with the ribbon instead because it would be easier and I wouldn't have to worry about adjusting the belt. By this point I felt defeated. I couldn't also forget- that there was a huge black cockroach in the fitting room when I went back in to change. I killed it, of course. But after that I told Ling, she should probably get her place checked out. She stated that it came from outside, she's never had any issues. Some brides in the past have brought bugs/roaches in to the store because who know how long their dress was at the bridal shop before they got it. She pretty much implied that I brought in the cockroach! I told her, I've had my dress since Dec. and had taken it out multiple times at home to try it - with no issues of any bugs. Ling then said that the bugs stick to the bottom inside of the dress bag so I wouldn't see. How would I not see a huge cockroach in my bag or on my dress?! In my head, I didn't want to argue and was polite to apologize anyways and just let it go. Let's just say, I would of preferred to book in advance somewhere else! If I had known I would of booked back home and take the extra trip to fly back to get my dress altered correctly. I was so stressed and had to scramble to find another seamstress. Luckily I was able to find one that same day and had the consult. She knew exactly and saw what I wanted and needed done. The seamstress I went with was also willing to fix my belt. She said it is easy to fix! I saved $100 also (vs. what Ling quoted me). I'm sure other brides have had good experience at Ling's with their wedding dress but I did not. read more

Ling was absolutely amazing, and super accommodating. If I could i would give her 10 stars. I need my dress altered 3 days before my wedding and she managed to have it ready in time. She was so easy to work with, and I will recommend her buisness to anyone who needs alterations. Thank you Ling, you saved my wedding day! read more

Ling is so sweet and provides the best customer service. Always happy with my alterations and quick turnaround time!

I needed my wedding gown altered. Ling provided a reasonable quote and had great communication. She was reliable, adhering to the promised completion date. As a bride, I was a little nervous getting my dress back just one week before my wedding, but it couldn't have worked out better! The dress and alterations were perfect! Highly recommend and will use her again. read more

So had a jacket and pants hemmed for a wedding. This place gets two stars cause the pants came out well but my jacket, well that was like a bad joke. Both sleves were hemmed to different lengths and the sleves just looked horrible. I had to cut out the hem work cause a jacket that was a bit too long was better than the work I received. Really disappointing considering the reviews I had read... i will not be going back 60 dollars for hem work that i had to cut out before the wedding. read more

This is my second time coming here and they were so friendly! I brought an outfit that needed to be hemmed in time for an event. They actually got it done a little bit earlier and they fit great.

Brought my brides maid dress here for alterations. My dress was ready in 2 weeks and paid a decent price for what I got done ( cut about 2-3 inches and stitched the top of my dress to cover up the girls). My dress fit perfectly and was so happy with how it looked and fit! Will definitely be bringing in more of my dresses here for alterations. The service was also so welcoming and friendly. They are also starting to sell wedding dresses in the store and they are beautiful! read more

I had my dress fitted Saturday Feb. 13 and picked it up Saturday Feb 20th. When I tried on the dress she didn't give me a moment to see if I liked it, she just kept telling me it was beautiful and fit perfectly. She was more concerned about taking my pictures than asking me how the dress fit. I contacted Ling's Alterations on Jefferson St. this morning Feb 23 as they are closed Sundays and Mondays and she is not willing to give me my money back for her unprofessional alterations and customer service. She was yelling at me on the phone and I was crying and she kept interrupting me and not listening to what I was saying. When I paid (in cash unfortunately) she took my receipt even though I asked to keep it so there's no proof of payment. The inside layer is hemmed too short and the sides aren't tight enough. My wedding is this Friday Feb. 26th so I was forced to find a different place to get it re-altered. I didn't have a good experience and she isn't willing to fix that. I'm very disappointed with this place. read more

I just lost 20 lbs, and I need my pants taken in and fast! Cinching the belt is no longer cutting it. Hubby recommended a tailor in Fairfield, but I couldn't figure out who it was. My coworker recommended a cleaners she goes to in Suisun; she said it takes them 3-4 working days. Did I mention all my pants are falling off me? So I asked my best advice-giving friend, good ol' Yelp, for a recommendation. The reviews from Janine F. and Stacy K. were so helpful, I thought I'd give Ling's a try. She was so friendly when I walked in and quickly dropped what she was doing to help me. I explained that I recently lost a bunch of weight, and I asked how long it would take. She asked when I needed them, but I was too nervous to say tomorrow. When I explained that I don't have too many pairs of pants that fit me, she said she'd have them done tomorrow! You don't see service like that very often, and she was really fun to chat with! I can't wait to bring her the rest! Thanks Yelp! You've done it again! read more

Ling altered my dress for my wedding banquet celebration and it fit like a glove! It was originally a corset type of back. Wasn't a fan. She was able to take the dress in and put in a zipper :) and it looked amazing! She also hemmed my dress. It was this heavy silk material with embroidery and she was able to maintain the original structure of the dress without losing any of the charm. Thank you!! read more

This was the best alteration experience and work I've ever had. I'm 5'1 so I've had quite a few. I was called last minute for an interview. I woke the morning of my interview and called the place who had the best ratings. She was very kind and said she would be able to accommodate my last minute work. I rushed over. Ling exuded great customer service, she greeted me and told me she would assist the moment she finished. She was very efficient and precise with her measurements. 5 mins later my pants were hemmed and I was on my way to my interview. They fit perfectly. It's so scary to try new seamstress. She made the experience seamless. Thank you Ling for the great work and customer service. read more

The place I got my dress from wanted to charge $300 EXTRA on top of my alterations for it being "rushed". Obviously was not going to pay that so I went to David's Bridal to get it altered since they said they do dresses that were not purchased from there. They legit told me "sorry we can't help you". My wedding being 6 weeks away i was stressed! I found Ling on Yelp and she was a LIFE SAVER! She helped me out so much with my alterations. She even gave me a few tips on how to fix the back of my dress to make it look like it was supposed to be that way since that was the only part she couldn't fix. She is also super sweet! Totally recommend read more

So far, amazing. I messaged her through Yelp for a quote and she needed more information, so I scheduled an appt with her the next day. I came in, brought my bridesmaid gown that needed some alterations and the shoes I planned to wear. I tried the dress on and she was so quick to figure out what I needed. Picked up the dress a week and a half later, and I was SO PLEASED. The dress fit amazingly. Will definitely return read more

I brought my prom dress here to get hemmed and she did amazing work! Setting up an appointment was easy and I was able to come in almost immediately.

The price for my dress was very reasonable and she even gave me a discount. I will definitely return! read more

Ling was professional and very efficient. Her work was very nice. I would definitely come back.
