    Teri Jin remake. She took the residual crab UC from the hem and created a rose broach!

    Maggie is more than a seamstress. She is a designer. She will take the gowns or whatever you bring in and actually make it a couture experience. Add it to the fact that she is absolutely the most sweetest and gentle person to work with with always a bit of life advice

    Maggie can do wonders! I came to her for alterations with a secondhand wedding gown that was too small in the waist and needed significant adjustments all over, plus a bustle. She worked quickly and did a fantastic job, using fabric to create a new panel in the back that was flawless, blending in with the rest of the dress. She was competent, professional and fantastic to work with, and I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. Trust me, go to Maggie.

    Butcher job

    Horrible! I don't understand HOW this lady has so many good reviews. She is rude and lazy. The shop smells like mold and there are pieces of clothing everywhere. She barely pinned my bridesmaid dress, said it would be ready in a week and when I went to pick it up at the scheduled time she said she FORGOT about it and it wasn't ready! Like wtf... When I finally got to try on the dress another week later, I could see the stitches sticking out and the worst part... she didn't pin the fabric around the hem all the way, so the dress is now SHORTER in the back. Check out her face when she saw the terrible and irreversible mistake she'd made. I just threw a $800 dress and the $140 she charged me in the trash. Do not bring your clothes here. Stay away!

    Unfinished

    I brought in 2 gowns to be altered over 3 weeks before they were needed. We did a fitting two weeks after to check the fit. One gown had been adjusted so it was about 2" shorter than originally agreed. Maggie was trying to pull the hem down to no avail. When I got my gowns another week later the fits were fine however one gown still too short and not properly finished so the sequins was digging into my skin at the seams, the other had off color tulle rim. I ended up having to clean up her work so I was able to comfortably wear the dress. My main complaint is that the workmanship was terrible for the price. It looked like a rush job and was still charged $800! I would not use her again.

    My new long coat that she sewed to fit me better but as you can see there are "lumps" where she sowed.  It's too obvious now.

    I brought in my brand new long wool top coat to get taken in and when I picked it up I noticed that she has done a not so good job sewing the back area. I saw too many "lumps" in the area where she sewed. It doesn't even match closely to the rest of the seam where she didn't sew. Especially at the very top where the collar is. I couldn't believe what she did.

    Suit fit great!

    Maggie is so sweet and talented. She'll hype you up with tons of words affirmation. First time getting anything tailored and thoroughly enjoyed the process. I was hesitant at first finding somewhere that I'd feel comfortable getting a men's suit tailored, but Maggie made it a very safe space. Everything was done in a timely manner and quality was great. I recommend!

    See all

    She does a good job but extremely expensive. I came for a hem fix and was charged $40.

What makes this experience truly special is how she did it. This jacket belonged to my grandfather, who has passed away, so it was not just another garment to me. Lory immediately understood the sentimental value and treated the piece with genuine care and respect. She preserved the original character of the jacket while tailoring it cleanly to my body. Nothing feels overworked, stiff, or modernized in a bad way. It looks exactly how it should, just like it was always meant to fit me. The fit is flawless. The shoulders, sleeves, length, and overall silhouette are spot on. The leather still drapes beautifully, and the jacket feels alive rather than altered. If you are looking for someone who truly understands leather, craftsmanship, and the emotional value clothing can carry, Lory is the person to trust. I will be including before and after photos because the transformation speaks for itself. This is heirloom level work. Thank you, Lory. I will cherish this jacket forever.

Total cost was 160 dollars, including dry cleaning, which is less than half of buying a blazer at buck mason or something these days. The shop is small and unassuming. It's on the lower floor of a two story strip mall right in the prime Tujunga area odd moorpark. Bonus is you can free park in their lot! The owner doesn't speak the best English. But we got along just fine and you can tell he is a real pro. There is a sign that indicates a 4% charge for credit or debit. I get it. It's a small business being hosed by the credit card companies. So bring cash if you want to save a little $$$. I hope this business grows and excels. It's nice to have a local old tailor that's fast and affordable nearby. I'll post pictures of my suit when I can but wanted to get this review out there to support our local businesses.

I would know, as I've shopped around and tried out different tailors, but I'm going to be a lifetime customer at Bas Arbat. Here's the short of it: * Value: top tier tailoring at an excellent price.

I am big on tailoring the clothes I buy so they fit absolutely perfectly, and often times he'll have more basic alterations done within hours * Arman himself is super kind. Great guy. I genuinely look forward to dropping off & picking up my clothes. Plus, he always texts me when my items are ready to be picked up! If you need a tailor, Arman is the best you'll find.

I sent my husband to pick up my item, and he was charged for an alteration that was never mine. We were told it was a "past due balance," which made no sense as I have never had any outstanding charges. When I called to clarify, the owner, Sheri, admitted there may have been a mistake and that they likely confused me with another customer. However, instead of apologizing, she abruptly said she had customers waiting and could not continue the conversation, telling me I would need to physically return with the card later. I called back an hour later and provided my credit card information for the refund. While she agreed to process it before closing, when I expressed frustration over the inconvenience and their error, her response was, "Maybe you should find a place that makes you happier." What disappointed me most was not the billing mistake itself, but the complete lack of accountability, professionalism, or basic customer care. After 8 years of patronage, I will never return. I expected far better treatment from a business I supported for so long. This place seriously needs better leadership and customer service.
