I went to Lois for hemming a new pair of slacks and she did a beautiful job. Her shop is based in an apartment complex which did throw me off at first. Once I entered, Lois got down to business and was very efficient. She had me step into a changing room and then quickly pinned where to hem the pants. She confirmed with me that I liked where they would hit once hemmed. They were ready in a couple of days. Payment was straightforward and the cost was very reasonable. I would take anything else I needed to her without a second thought. read more

Lois helped me with my daughter's figure skating dresses in two different occasions, and both times she delivered amazing work. The first time we had to get the skirt hemmed, and she was able to match the original style of the dress. The second time we had to get the body of the dress taken in so it's more fitted. Lois's work was seamless and my daughter looked so much better in her dress afterwards. Her prices were very reasonable and was able to provide a quick turnaround. I will be going back to Lois for my future alteration needs. read more

I got two denim jeans hemmed and Lois did a wonderful job and finished them in time. I'm 5'1, so I'll be frequenting her alteration services. Prices are reasonable. read more

The service I requested (alteration for my sons suit) was really good quality, quick, and reasonably priced! I needed a quick turnaround Lois delivered! Just a heads up, the service is provided out of a home business (not an office location) so if you're routed by GPS to a home, you are in the right place! read more

She is very nice and skilled only one I trust with my alterations, fast and reliable service

Lois always does a fantastic job altering or repairing my clothes. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to all my friends.

I had some jeans taken in by Lois a few years ago and she did an amazing job. As I had gained some lbs over the years, the jeans were too tight to wear. Lois was able to let out the jeans and they are as good as new! read more

Lois hemmed a formal gown for me. It is lined with a split. She completed it many days earlier than promised and charged a fair price! :) I have been looking for someone reliable for alterations for a while now, so I plan to return for future alterations needs. Thanks Lois! read more

I had a formal dress that needed the arm sleeve cut & shortened & the hem shortened. She did it perfectly! The dress went down to my ankles & I had it cut to my knees. I had asked that she save the cut piece but she only gave me 2 inches of it back. She only took cash, the alterations was pricey but she got it done in a week. read more

Friendly staff, fresh coffee and delicious food. What else can I say except, go try it.

The best seamstress in Tri Valley! I've come to Lois before about 4 years ago to fix a button on a pair of jeans and now recently had her hem a pair of Abercrombie flare jeans that were just too long for me (for reference, I'm 5'1"). Happy to report that everything is perfect! She measured me before I dropped it off and you have a choice of just a regular hem ($15) or a hem in the same style as the pant (my quote = $25). I opted for the same style as the pant & love the results! Will definitely be back! read more

Lois Alteration & Design - Picking up perfectly hemmed jeans! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I had 3 pants hemmed (1 knit, 1 denim and 1 crepette material) and all were perfect! She did an amazing job! If you don't know the length you need, there is a dressing area where you can try the pants on and she'll measure and pin the length for you. After dropping them off it took about a week to get done. I kept the original hem for my jeans so that added a little more to the cost. If you don't mind not having the original hem then it would be cheaper. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing tailor who does amazing job at reasonable price. Her work quality is top notch and very accommodating person.

I dropped off my garment and gave her detailed instructions and she followed them to a tee! She did a fantastic job and got it done fast! I highly recommend her to go to if you need an alteration or design. read more

Lois did a fantastic job with the alterations of my dresses, pants and tops. The price is reasonable and was done in time before my trip!

We used Lois for alteration of the pants for a woman's wedding coat/pants that we had purchased from macys. We needed to make the pants shorter. Pros: Responsive, on time, clean, organized, polite. Cons: Inside the hem was not cut really straight, which was fine, if I was not in hurry i would take it in again to make sure its done correctly inside and out. The price that was quoted to us on yelp was different than what we ended up paying since she said the pants material (nylon) makes it more expensive (but she told this to us before she starts the work, when we wanted to drop off the pants and we agreed. read more

I had 4 pairs of jeans that needed hemming and Lois did a fantastic job at an unbeatable price. She will be my new tailor moving forward without hesitation. read more

Great fast customer service with Lois alterations and design. She's very professional with her customers.

She was able to hem and take in my dress same day. She did a great job at a reasonable price. Very thankful!

I needed someone to alter my dress for my engagement shoot and luckily I found Lois on Yelp. She was very responsive and I was able to bring in my dress in the same day. She works from her own home fyi. Pricing was very reasonable and I was able to pick up my dress within a couple of weeks. She did an amazing job and the dress fitted me perfectly! read more

Lois is a delight. A bit of a treasure in an increasingly difficult area to find a good craftsman - she does amazing work! Highly recommend.

Lois hemmed my fiancé's suit pants and shortened his sleeves and she did a wonderful job. She was easy to communicate with to set up a time we could come for the fitting. We told her we needed the suit by the same day the following week and she was able to make that happen. She did a professional job and her prices were very reasonable. I will definitely use Lois for any future alterations needs and recommend her to anyone needing alterations! read more

My husband had his new jeans hemmed here. Lois responded within a day to our inquiry, and the price was reasonable. I forget if it was $20 or 25 for jeans, but regular hem is $15. We weren't in a rush, dropped the jeans off at the residential location, and picked it up within one week. The jeans looked good as new - you can't tell anything was done, which is how it should be. Will be repeat customers. read more

I called last minute I came in I dropped it off. I picked it up.. Luis is very kind she does her job very well. I am very happy with the results. Thank you so much for taking care of me last minute. I Appreciate you. read more

Lois Alteration & Design - Three pants Lois hemmed. 2 Regular Hems and 1 Original Hem for Selvedge Denim - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Pleasanton, California

High quality work at reasonable prices! I probably haven't had alterations done in over a decade so I was shocked to see how expensive it is nowadays for a simple pants hemming. I called several places in the area and was pleased to discover Lois on Yelp. She had the best pricing and rave reviews, so I took my chances. I'm so glad I did! The work she did was perfect. I am immensely satisfied that I chose her - the quality of work she delivered was impeccable. Additionally, the turnaround time was impressively quick - I got my pants altered the same day. Superior quality work combined with such speedy service, I couldn't be any more pleased! As a new-ish resident to the Dublin/Pleasanton area, I plan to stop my search and use Lois' services moving forward. read more

Lois Alteration & Design - Tailored jacket - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Pleasanton, California

See all

I started by requesting hemming of my husband's pants, done neatly and efficiently. I then moved on to request an alteration to my MIL's traditional pants...I had already spent an hour or more attempting to fix them myself, but realized I needed to ask a professional: Lois is that professional! I would trust her with a more complex alteration, because it's clear she knows what she is doing. She's currently fixing my pants, but I have something else in mind that I have been waiting to fix, and will update this post when that gets done. So far, very glad with the results :) The added bonus is that I love supporting a woman-owned business, especially one with better value than my local tailor or the tailoring service at one of the big department stores. I trust her more! read more

I requested multiple styles and fabrics of pants to be hemmed. Lois was very professional in setting me up and then explaining all the options. Very high quality, they ALL look factory made! Excellent quality in all her work, friendly and professional service, and great value! I will be back!!! read more

I had an emergency fix and Lois responded via Yelp message very quick. She was able to do a same day fix for a very decent price and I can't even tell anything was wrong! She works out of a residential area so that took me a little bit to find, but there's plenty of street parking. There is a very friendly puppers that greets you at the door, so wags bonus for me for sure! Everything is very neatly organized and she is very accommodating, amazing customer service (I just want to rave about it!). Note: She only takes venmo or cash (apple pay too I think). Final Thoughts: I am already digging out a bunch of stuff from my closet that needs alterations and definitely coming back here! read more
