I decided to check out Lucy's Tailoring to get some last-minute tailoring done on 3 work shirts before an overseas trip. I didn't call ahead or anything, and 1 week turn around is pretty quick for an order like that. Lucky for me, they were able to take the job and they did great - excellent work on the shirts, and completed on time just as requested. I believe the gentleman working the front of the shop was named Harry. He was very nice and accommodating, even when a wave of several other customers arrived just after I did. It seemed like he knew everyone else who came in, which really left a good impression. If I need more tailoring done in the future, I'm coming here. read more

I trusted Lucy's Tailoring with my wedding dress alterations and was very pleased! My whole experience was personable and straightforward. I came in once for my quote, a second time to actually have the alterations done, and the last time to pick up my dress. The alterations included taking in the bodice, hem, and adding a bustle. The whole process took 2.5 months and cost approximately $750. I was very happy with the finished product. However, a button did fall off of the bustle during my wedding night. I wish they were slightly more secured. Otherwise, my dress fit me perfectly! read more

The tailor is too busy with walk-ins, pick-ups. Even with an appointment you don't get his full attention. Took way longer than expected. Needs to hire a counter person. read more

I was recommended to come here from Anthropology. However, I would honestly take your dress elsewhere. The dress got tailored in the time quoted, so the basics are there. The atmosphere and customer service though are a bit lacking. Everytime I've been (mind you, have had an appointment each time) there's only 1 person working up front and about 5-10 customers coming in or out and any given time. Problem is, they are also all waiting on the 1 employee - it's awkward. While I was trying on my dress, everyone was staring at me waiting for the 1 person working to help them instead. The attention to detail on pinning clothes/dress was limited and lacking as you can tell the employee is pulled in about 5 directions the entire time you are there - it's pretty chaotic and not a very good experience when getting a wedding dress altered. I was also told "not to put my wedding dress inside my luggage for the plane because it may stink" yet the person helping me REEKED of cigarette smoke while pinning and pulling at my dress. He was also so close to me to check the alterations and I really don't like the smell of smoke. Pretty sure I'm more concerned about cigarette smoke from the tailor over the off chance the airplane luggage system gives it a smell. On top of this, my quoted wait time for regular alterations was 3 months - now knowing the area better and having looked around, there are many other places that can get it done in 1-2 months. I'm also thinking the price was over inflated, I paid almost $600 for my alterations and am still not sure where it all came from or what the charges were for. read more

Absolute magic! My dress was several sizes too big and had a lot of layers of delicate material to shorten in the skirt and complicated detailing in the corset and it came out like a dream. The man helping me and doing the alterations was so sweet and helpful, it was a great experience! Highly recommend! read more

Harry, Harry Harry the Tailor/Owner is an incredible and consistent talent whether for dress, wedding or casual attire. Been going to Lucy's for 15ish years between their ex-South Coast Plaza location (Susan is a Gem) and Harry's Seacliff store and I am not alone as Harry is pretty much on a first name basis with just about everybody I've seen come in well I'm getting measured or waiting to get measured... Harry makes it look easy, but the second part is how ea seamstress interprets Harry's pinning so that the Alterations come out perfecto. I brought in over 100 garments from dress slacks to Tommy Bahama shirts and shorts and everything in between and he's at about a 98-99% accuracy, having only to adjust some stitching twice and without hesitation so I can gladly attest to my attire fitting like a glove... Just had to go public with this as it's just rare these days in any profession to find someone as caring, family oriented, certainly a business professional, and just a darn pleasure to do business with... STEVE read more

Wouldn't trust my clothing to anyplace else, never had any issues whatsoever with any alterations I've taken here. I've had 15 or so pairs of denim hemmed, some rips/holes patched up, a bunch of leggings/athletic wear hemmed, and the arms lengthened on a Burberry wool coat, everything has come out beautifully, always promptly and always a great price. Highly recommended for alterations! read more

I was recommended Lucy's Tailoring from the sweet ladies at Anthropologie. I purchased my dress from their BHLDN wedding dress line, and they assured me that Lucy's Tailoring was the best, and already experienced with BHLDN designs. I can safely say, they were absolutely correct!!!!! I had the privilege of working with Harry, who is an absolute professional and just so, so sweet! I was absolutely swimming in my dress when I first tried it on out of the box. The bust was too loose and hung so low it was almost at my belly button! The dress was also too long and had many heavy layers of fabric that needed to be shortened. I also hoped to add a bustle to the dress for my reception. After a thorough fitting, Harry addressed worry I had, and assured me that the dress would be perfect! I came by to pick up my dress a few weeks later and I was absolutely in love! The dress fit like a glove, and Harry explained in detail how to get into and adjust the dress so it looks perfect (posture is everything ladies!!!) and how to button up the added bustle. He also had the dress steamed for me so it'd be perfect for the big day. I can't say enough good things about Lucy's Tailoring and Harry. Whether you're a soon-to-be bride getting a wedding dress tailored, a bright-eyed teenager attending their first homecoming or someone who just wants their golf shirts to fit better, you've found the right place. Harry treats every single customer that walks through the door with kindness, attention to detail, and professionalism! read more

Brought a new white vest in to have it shortened and sized down from a man's to a small women's size. Excellent job! Will definitely be using this shop again. Very happy with results how much attention was given to detail. read more

Harry did an amazing job with my wedding dress alterations and for a reasonable price compared to the insane quotes I got elsewhere

We took my niece's wedding dress to be altered and also decided to have three suits tailored for my dad. Harry has been amazing! His attention to detail and genuine care for his clients has been above and beyond. Every fitting so far has been handled with patience, precision, and a true passion for his craft. We can't wait to see the final results, but based on our experience so far, we already know they'll be perfect. Highly recommend Harry for all alterations! read more

I can't recommend the team at Lucy's Tailoring enough! They tailored many dresses for our wedding, including my wedding dress, the mother of the bride's dress, and all of the bridesmaids' dresses. Each was tailored to perfection. They created the most beautiful bustle in my wedding dress and taught us all how to secure it for the event. Thank you to the whole team for the time and care you put into all of our dresses! read more

All around amazing find!!! My daughters and I had such a great experience from the moment we walked in the door. Our dresses are perfect! Thank you all for your wonderful work! We will be back read more

This is my favorite place to get my pants tailored. i wear a lot of tight fit clothes and it takes special attention to tailor pants the way i like them. they not only do a phenomenal job, they always turn around the alterations as quickly as i need them. deff referring all my friends here. Ask for Vicky. she's the best read more

Great customer service and they do beautiful work! I had my mother of the groom dress altered and it was perfect!

Altered my daughter's wedding dress. They took the time needed to get it perfect. Pricing seemed fair and you get what you pay for. The dress was fitted perfectly read more

Harry is the best! So kind and a true professional ~ always taking excellent care of his clients!

Had two wedding dresses altered. This was recommended by my sales person at Anthropologie. One was just for hemming the length and the other was for hemming and shoulder adjustment. And one dress had a bustle placed. I asked to have thin cups sewn in for the anthro Octavia dress but they said they don't do that. Service was quick and courteous. The store itself is very spacious and clean. There was only ever one other person in there when I visited for the fitting so I felt like I got a lot of their attention. The job was done well. It took 6 weeks to get the dresses back. The price was NOT CHEAP. I paid $350 total for both dresses. read more

Harry was an absolute dream to work with! So helpful, honest, and friendly! Measured me, asked for my input, respected my wishes, and was efficient. Did not feel rushed but was not left waiting forever. I previously went to a different tailor nearby and had a pretty bad experience where I quite frankly felt cheated. I came in a bit apprehensive but wow my experience was wonderful. Lucy's Tailoring is as good of a tailoring experience I think anyone can get. Thank you Harry, thank you Lucy's Tailoring! read more

Amazing to work with and honest! I absolutely love them! I couldn't be happier. I'd highly recommend

The owner is AMAZING! I highly recommend for all bridal related tailoring. It's always nerve-racking getting expensive clothing tailored (especially a wedding dress) but you do not need to worry about that here. Lucy's makes you feel like family and they do amazing work. I went in with a dress that was way too big on my chest area and they made it look better than when I originally bought it. Just plan far in advance for your wedding gown to be tailored so you can do many dress try ons if needed. :) read more

Lucy's Tailoring - Last minute tailoring for formal event- exceptionally done. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Our wedding would not have been the same without Harry's expert tailoring. My dress was made of all lace and mesh, and he was able to tailor it so that it hugged in all the right places! It was especially difficult because it was an open back and I am normally not someone who can go braless, but he tailored the dress so that it held me perfectly and I was able to feel confident on my big day. He was always professional, made us feel welcomed, and took a lot of pride and care in his work. He has also done casual clothing for us, as well as work uniforms, and everything is always done timely and with precision. THANK YOU HARRY! read more

Harry is AMAZING. My wedding dress came in about five weeks before my wedding and all my brides out there know that is NOT a lot of time! It's nerve wracking to spend a pretty penny on a dress and then to need to trust someone to make alterations. My boutique recommended Lucy's and I'm so glad they did! I needed the dress hemmed (and I had an intricate train that had to be dealt with!), a bustle added, the waist taken in, and cups added to the dress for the bust. As you can see from the pictures, Harry delivered! He was professional, friendly, and made magic happen - and for a reasonable price and by the day he promised, too! Can't recommend highly enough. read more

Best alterations in all of Orange County! Very fast and professional. My dress came out perfect! Definitely always worth the drive for me from mission Viejo. read more

I bought my dress at anthropology bridal section. So when it came to finding a good tailor they recommend, Lucy's Tailoring. I didn't do any additional research because my mindset was Harry would know how the dress design is since so many of their clients come here. I have ZERO REGRETS! It came out perfectly tailored and in time for my big day. The process was easy just call to schedule your appt. There's a private dressing room and if you need help zipping the dress up he can assist with that. And he is extremely professional and respectful. He would let you know what he suggest to be done with the dress and you can also let him know what you would like to do as well. Before you leave he'll give you a receipt with the cost then you come back to try on the dress. And that's it! And the pricing is reasonable it was $302 for shorting the front and the straps with cups sewn. read more

Excellent tailoring done on time. Thank you! Will be back next time I need alterations.

I have been to this tailor shop as both a bridesmaid and a bride. Frankly, I wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff is professional and friendly. They knew exactly what to do to make my dress flattering and comfortable. I thought I loved my dress before, but it was so much more beautiful than I could have imagined when they were done with it. I felt very safe and was happy with the precautions they took due to COVID-19. I'm so grateful and they have a lifelong customer in me. read more

ATTENTION ALL BRIDES!!!!!! LOOK NO FURTHER! Harry is the best of the best. He tailored my wedding dress, & I am so thankful for his help. Harry has been tailoring wedding dresses for years & is an expert! He loves his job, is so friendly & patient. He provided suggestions based on the fabric of my dress & his professional experience. He listened to my questions & concerns & talked me through it all. He was very thorough & made me feel extremely comfortable. The whole experience was a breeze! And on top of that, it won't break the bank! It makes me so upset that some tailors at wedding boutiques get away with up charging brides for small changes! I believe I paid around $400, & Harry did A LOT. He shortened the length (of the dress & arm length); he also brought my dress in quite a bit (both arms & body of the dress) & added the French Bustle. So if you are a bride, please do yourself a favor & schedule an appointment with Harry! He also accepts walk-ins for other items! But, if you are a bride, schedule an appointment over the phone to plan your fittings accordingly. The last time I was in, he tailored my Bridesmaids dress & did a fantastic job. Each time I have been to Lucy's Tailoring, many people were coming to Harry for various types of clothing. I hope this helps. read more

I could not have had a better bridal experience with Harry and his team! I drove all the way from LA for my alterations because so many people recommended him, and I also purchased my dress from Anthropologie/BHLDN. He is friendly and the pricing is very fair! Could not recommend enough read more

I first heard of Lucy's from Lululemon and the second time when purchasing my dress from Anthropologie. I've never found a trustworthy tailor in my few previous experiences so have never regularly gotten my clothes altered. However my experience here was wonderful! I started with altering my pants at the waist and they turned out perfect. I am also having my wedding dress fixed here and have no doubts it'll be perfect. Harry is amazing and I am so happy to have found a trustworthy tailor! I will absolutely be bringing my clothes in from now on to get them all perfectly fitted :). Thank you!!! read more

Harry is a professional! I have a lot of experience with tailoring cause my mom is one but is elderly now. I felt so comfortable with Harry's suggestions and details. He altered some flannels for me because they were too long and he made them look like I bought it like that. He's amazing! read more

Harry did a fantastic job on alterations of my incredibly intricate, beaded wedding dress which had a scalloped hem and tons of layers. He was friendly and professional and clearly knows what he's doing. After one round of alterations it was perfect and wedding ready without the need for any touch ups. Highly recommend!! read more
