Golden Thread Alterations is operated by a Korean lady and her son. The business is located in the…read morequiet area of Livermore. Parking is off the street or in their shared parking lot. Their alteration work is very good for what I needed. The price is reasonable and fair to my budget. Her son did all of the communication and measurements and helped me to make the best decisions regarding my suit (shirt, coat & pants). The final product was very clean and I received a lot of compliments during and after my daughter's wedding. I highly recommend Golden Thread Alterations to anyone who needs alteration work (for weddings, senior ball, celebrations, etc.).

We used them several years ago to alter a wedding vest and it ended up being too tight, but we…read moredidn't make a fuss. Whatever. I went back yesterday to have a dress hemmed. My mistake. 1. The front desk man/receptionist was polite, helpful, and charming. 2. There were several women, presumably seamstresses, who I smiled at who simply looked through me as if I didn't exist. 3. The price for hemming a semi full-skirted dress was $60 which is more than the dress cost. 4. When I balked at $60, one of these women spoke in a foreign language (Vietnamese?) and the man relayed to me they could do it for $50. I shook my head, smiled, and said, No, thank you. 5. The man then said that $45 was the lowest they could go. I had NO interest in bartering for the best price. I said no again, and prepared to leave. The woman, who never glanced at me once, shrugged and walked away. Her body language made it clear she couldn't care less. 6. Which is, of course, fine. They have no need of my business. After looking at their website, they obviously are high end alterations aimed at an Asian audience. Which is fine. Just be aware that if you aren't Asian and don't have a high-end job for them, you will be treated dismissively by the seamstresses. Their website claims they are a third generation business, yet only the man speaks English, supposedly. To top off my review, I would like to add that I do NOT want to be told one price, then have that price lowered twice when I am ready to walk away. Set a FAIR price and stick to it. I will either pay it or walk away, no harm, no foul. Instead, I am left feeling like I would have been a fool if I had accepted the first price they quoted. This is not a market stall in a country where bartering is the norm. I will not return to this business and I will not recommend it to friends. ‍

I had a stubborn stain and he gave solid honest advice. Prices are reasonable as is the turn around time. I took two Jackets buttons of which were loose on one that I did not know and were fixed without Cost. The other he was not happy with and asked to keep it longer. I of course agreed and when I picked it up it was perfect. I don't live in the area o CCVC it's about a 20 mile drive but well worth the professional services I received. See you next time Kevin

She amended the waistband to be tighter and shortened the dress while maintaining the flow and comfort of the dress. 2. My after party dress had a beaded skirt and jila carefully shortened it.

I plan to resell my dress and jila altered it so that if someone taller than me buys it, the stitching just needs to be snipped to get it back to the original length. It fit me like a glove. She did an amazing job and I'd highly recommend her to alter clothing for any special occasion!

They paid attention to detail, making sure the dress was at the right length and comfortable for me to walk in. I also have a dress in which the top could have different options to style when worn, and because the back was low, I was a bit concerned. But they kindly offered me options of how to style the top so that I wouldn't be concerned. Drop off and pickup was also fast and easy, straightforward. I would take another dress or recommend them to someone else. Thank you Jila Tailoring Studio!

They had told me they could drop off at a certain time so I prepared for that time but then they weren't able to come until an hour later. For pickup they said they'd come around 5 so I stuck around waiting for a while, but they showed up an hour later. I know they said they'd can drop-off and pick up without anyone being home but I'd prefer not to leave my clothes outside. I totally understand that things happen but considering the price I paid for the service, I was hoping that the pick-up and delivery would be smoother. Update: After checking the clothes I am extremely disappointed, some of my clothes came back with stains that weren't there before and I am also missing some items. Very dissatisfied with their service this time around.

From the very beginning, he was super upfront, honest, and transparent about everything, which I really appreciated. Wedding planning can already feel overwhelming, so having someone I could fully trust made such a difference. You can tell right away that he's incredibly skilled and truly knows what he's doing -- the fit turned out absolutely perfect. One thing I especially loved was how helpful he was with my bustle. I had no idea what direction to go in, and he took the time to walk me through different options and explain what would work best. His recommendation ended up being exactly what I needed -- both practical and beautiful. Beyond the actual work, his support throughout the whole process honestly took a huge weight off my shoulders. I always felt taken care of and knew I was in good hands. So so grateful I found him -- thank you again, Mo!

From the very first fitting, it was clear how meticulous and detail-oriented he is. Whether it was a simple hem or more complex work, he treated every piece with incredible care. What truly amazed me was the alterations he did on my wedding reception dress. After I lost some weight, the entire dress needed to be restructured. Mo carefully took it apart and put it back together so it would fit my new measurements perfectly. The result was flawless! It looked and felt like the dress had been custom-made for me. Mo is patient, attentive, and great at addressing all of your concerns. He takes the time to listen, explain what he's doing, and make sure you feel comfortable with the plan. He truly cares about his craft and takes pride in delivering beautiful results. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your most important pieces, especially something as meaningful as a wedding dress, Mo is your person. I highly recommend him for all alterations!

The price seems reasonable for the effort and turnaround time. I've recommended her to my friends and my husband who have also brought their suit tailoring needs to her and found her both efficient and delightful to talk to. Her work area is a small added unit behind her home and it's also nice to say hello to her cute chickens on the way out. :) It feels like coming to see an auntie whenever I stop by.

Gosh! I wish I had read the previous reviews before trusting my dry cleaning with them…read more When I dropped off my cashmere sweaters, I was quoted $5.50 each. I asked for a receipt and was told I'd receive a text. The only text I got was a generic thank-you message, not an itemized receipt. When I went to pick them up, the sweaters weren't even cleaned properly -- there were still crumbs on the sleeves. On top of that, I was charged $8 each for two sweaters and $7 for one. The manager called the staff member who had originally quoted me the price and proceeded to "train" her over the phone in front of me, instead of addressing my issue professionally. The manager's customer service was appalling, and she refused to honor the original price I was given. I'm definitely not going back here again.

They don't answer the phone, the staff is rude, they can't quote prices accurately, and worst of all--they keep denying responsibility. I've now been waiting six weeks for them to locate a very expensive sweater. I've stopped by seven times, and all I get are empty promises. This came right after another six-week ordeal just to get back my comforter, duvet, quilt, and blankets--only for them to blame me for not labeling them. Once I recover my sweater (if ever), I won't be coming back. I'd rather drive to San Francisco where I know things will be done right. Sadly, this is the second dry cleaner in the East Bay that has completely let me down.
