DO NOT GO HERE. This woman took a pair of house hold scissors and simply cut off three inches from my gown. Crooked cut, frayed, a botch job. She then had the audacity to charge me $125. If I had known I could have just cut the bottom myself with my own scissors. I'd like to add, this was a $1200 Cult Gaia gown that she destroyed and I'm too embarrassed to try and resell it now. Horrible experience. I hope this review saves someone from having this experience, trust me- just go somewhere else. This is truly shameful. read more

dress alteration She did absolutely nothing to either of the two dresses, I had to repeatedly reached out to her to find out when they would be ready over 3 weeks...She did nothing... dresses were unaltered and yet she charged me $40. I should've walked away, but I was too nice and gave it to heSeamstresses are not something you take a chance with I would never ever take a chance with her again read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Maggie does amazing work and has a great eye. Her suggestions for tailoring have always been such a beautiful touch to anything I bring to her. I wouldn't trust anyone else with the gowns and dresses I bring her. read more

Super sweet lady! Had high quality work with a quick turn around time. She replaced a zipper and hemmed an evening dress for me for $125. Thank you Maggie! read more

Maggie is literally thee best tailor I've ever had. Not only did she take in and rework my wedding reception dress, she also took my wedding dress and resized it just for me! She does amazing work and I highly recommend her. She will be my only tailor from now on. Thanks Maggie! read more

Maggie was very nice to work with. She was on time on completed my dress. Her prices are very affordable. Her work is quality and she has amazing design ideas to fix a dress without having to buy extra fabric. We used my sleeves to increase the size of my dress. read more

I needed Maggie to sew some patches on my daughter's Girl Scout vest in time for an event a couple days later, and she was done in a day! Very sweet and if I ever need any sort of alterations or seamstress in the future, I'll def be going to her! read more

Maggie is my absolute favorite! I've been to her twice now and she gets any job done so fast!!! Will always go back to her anytime I need anything. read more

I'm tiny so the suit I bought online had very long sleeves and the pants were too long. I didn't have a lot of time and Maggie rocked it. The suit fits me perfectly! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Angel. Magician. Yoda with a needle. I reached out to the bougiest friend of mine who wouldn't lead me astray when I said I needed my wedding dress altered and she led me here. Maggie did an INCREDIBLE job with my dress. I think she was even pleased herself with how well it turned out! (It was a tough job...involved taking apart the dress). She also patched up a beloved wool sweater of mine. I am very very grateful that I found Maggie. She is worth the drive from Santa Monica for me. read more

Maggie is truly a delight. I bought a rhinestone sparkly outfit for my bach in Cabo but the skirt was way too big. Every tailor I reached out to on Ventura Blvd wasnt able to alter this material since it didn't work with the normal machines, but thankfully I found Maggie who hand stitched the skirt on both sides to make it fit perfectly!! It was the cutest bach outfit I've ever had and I am soooo thankful for Maggie. She was so quick and willing to help, I will always come to her from now on! Thank youu thank you thank you!! read more

A miracle worker! Maggie is a sweetheart and true magician when it comes to alterations. I have used her multiple times for bridesmaids dresses and daytime clothes ranging from simple hem jobs to almost complete dress reconfigurations and she is ready with unique solutions to even the most complicated garment. Prices will depend on how extensive your needs are, but knowing your clothes will be handled professionally, and with custom attention and care is worth the investment! read more

Maggie is fantastic. She is always super quick, efficient, and has very reasonable prices. I've been going to her for over six years and have never had a bad experience. Highly recommend her. read more

She did exactly what I requested and it was done in no time! Also was very affordable and I will definitely come back again for future alterations! read more

Loved this place- had a bridesmaid dress that needed alterations and was able to get my dress back in less than a week, Maggie did an amazing job. Just what you need! read more

I needed pockets added to a costume jacket, and two other alteration shops claimed they couldn't possibly help me. After searching on Yelp, I found Maggie and decided to give her a call. "Bring it in, I'll see what I can do," she told me. I dropped off the jacket, explain what needed to be done and the timeline I needed it back by, and she told me to check in a few weeks later. When she called to let me know it was ready, I was overjoyed! The added pockets were well done, and looked like they originally came with the jacket. Maggie was efficient with the work, and I'll definitely come back to her in the future when I need something else altered or mended. I also found her very charming and a professional through and through. read more

Maggie is a magician!!! I needed a bridesmaid dress altered by 6 inches (8 months pregnant) within a week for an international wedding and Maggie more than pulled it off! It is flawless and fits me perfectly. Will definitely be coming back here!! Thank you Maggie!!! read more

Maggie did an AMAZING job altering a strapless dress for my teenage daughter. She was patient, helpful and the dress looked great!

Service is beyond Absolute. Had a cosplay project of mine taken here and tailored to my physique; it was completed and tailored before the deadline of my next Con! Couldn't be happier! Very thorough and exact on details! read more

Maggie is so efficient, and got my dress fixed up so quickly. Great quality and I'll be going back again and again!

Talk about a miracle worker! Our daughter is going through a growth spurt and between buying our daughter's Bat Mitzvah dress and the big day she did what growing teenagers do... she grew. Maggie's Alterations to the rescue! This was not a hem line or waistline adjustment. They essentially redesigned the dress (inserting a custom panel) that both made the required fit changes and added a "Wow factor" to the dress. AMAZING!!!! read more

I had to get a pair of trousers hemmed for a wedding party that I was in. Maggie did a great job, and her prices seem super reasonable. She was attentive on the phone, and friendly, she even stayed open a little late so I could walk the trousers down to her store. She was absolutely great. The shop is tucked away in a side street and there isn't a lot of signage if I recall correctly so make sure to pay close attention to the address. There is a little side parking lot for you to park. I would recommend calling ahead because it seems like her hours can be a bit irregular depending on how many appointments she had. I don't typically have a lot of need for a trailer, or alterations, but the next time I do I'm going back to Maggie. read more

Maggie is a lifesaver! She took care of major alterations on my jumpsuit. I needed it for work in three days and she took care of it in one! Highly recommended read more

Sorry this post is late. Maggie deserves a shout out! I took in a dress for hemming after receiving it in the mail. First, Maggie was my perfect hype-woman and did not hold back compliments. She was very encouraging when I asked her to help me hem the dress (nearly 5"! I'm v short ) while keeping the shape and patterns aligned. When I asked for a pick up date, she asked me when I needed it by. It was for our best friend's wedding at the end of the month (2.5 weeks out), she said, "Okay, come by next week." I was shocked how quickly she was able to turn around my dress (when clearly, she had many projects going already!!). The payment was fair, for her speed and wonderful customer service. I will definitely be going back in the future for more tailoring jobs. read more

Wouldn't recommend if you need something important done. I brought my wedding dress in first week of October, needed it done within 2-3 weeks, which she was able to do. They were minimal alterations- folding down cups, added straps, and hemmed the dress, no complicated fabric or lace or anything. When I called in the day before she said it would be ready, she gave me a later day that week to come in instead of the original day she said. The alterations were fine but sloppy- many stray threads left, and my dress had been bunched at the bottom of my garment bag. The entire shop is kind of a mess and there is no real system to keep track of anything, I wasn't given any ticket or receipt for anything. The straps were not done well- the way they were sewn made the fabric look wrinkled, she barely measured anything and the straps ended up being a bit loose- they even fell several times as I walked down the aisle. Not even an hour into the reception, both straps started coming completely undone to the point we had to cut the straps off. As well, the bustle she added broke completely as we were doing our wedding party entrances into the reception, so I had to kick it around during our first dance. I paid $600 for the alterations, which kind of seemed like a number she pulled out of nowhere when I went to pay, but she got it done quickly enough and I needed to pack it, so I paid and now am not too happy about the issues. I called her to let her know and basically what she had to say was 'in my 20 years I have never had anyone call with these kinds of issues'. So I guess you take your chances. read more

Wow oh wow - Maggie did wonders on this bridesmaid dress. I purchased a wrap dress from Bhldn which was way too long and even though I sized up two sizes - WAY TOO SMALL - in the chest area. Maggie shortened the dress and used that material to take my dress out two inches. She also added bead work to make it opens with the rest of the dress. It fits like a glove, and I am honestly over the moon! I will be returning to Maggie's for all my alteration needs! read more

Two words. Amazing Patient and Precise. Oops that's three!! She took the dress pictured and reimagined it to a knee length dress. She's an expert and even when she pinned it. You could see the transformation. I got nothing but compliments when I wore it. Will buy the same dress in Black and have her do the same thing. In short she's amazing can't wait for her to work in my wedding dress!!! read more

Okay I've found your new favorite alterations queen. Maggie is a sweet lady who's been doing this for over 20 years. I went to her for a last minute same day alteration and while I was thinking I'd be charged an arm and a leg, she charged me so little that I tipped. Her work is meticulous, impeccable and her place is a hidden little gem that feels like a little shop you'd stumble upon overseas. Fabric and clothes tossed here and there, a little curtain to change behind and conversation that sticks with you. I love Maggie. Be gentle with her, as she works very hard and does it alone. Pictures attached of my dress she altered. Wish I had before pics. read more
