I came to Maggie with a bridesmaid dress that needed hemming and to be taken in on top. She listened to my needs, was quick to get back to me when I called, and did an excellent job at a fair price. I will be coming back and recommend Maggie's to anyone in the Los Angeles area. read more

Terrible experience. I went in to shorten my dress- just 2 inches shorter and the seamstress completely ruined my $350 dress. Made it way too tight, and shortened it about 5 inches. Couldn't even wear the dress and had to throw it away. Didn't pin it correctly on my body. I would include pictures but my butt is completely out. Also the stitching was done very poorly. Left crying- worst experience I've ever had with a seamstress. read more

I brought three dresses to Maggie that were gorgeous but a MESS in terms of fit. She altered all three in a matter of a week and they now look fantastic. Maggie is very skilled and I appreciate her work. Now I've got a local tailor in my back pocket! read more

Incredible work! Maggie really cares about making sure you look and feel good. I needed a bridesmaid dress taken in and hemmed and she delivered. Not only that, but she went far beyond my expectations and gave me tips on what undergarments to wear and how much to adjust the straps to flatter my figure. Her services are such a great value for the price. 5/5 for sure! read more

Maggie was super helpful and quick with my measurements for an upcoming project. I definitely will be bringing some pieces soon for alterations read more

I bought a bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding before finding out I was pregnant and would be a HUGE 18 weeks pregnant the day of the wedding. I brought the dress to Maggie not expecting a miracle but she delivered! She reworked the entire inseam to make it comfortable and actually zip up easily. She was so quick and knew exactly what to do. Thank you maggie for your professionalism and expertise! read more

I was referred to Maggie by someone on Nextdoor (pretty much the only good thing to come from that app). She's tucked away in this little cottage behind Lemonade with a barely visible sign. Maggie's smile is as wide as she is tall. She has very gripping Armenian soap operas on in the background - I kind of wish I could hang out there all day. I brought two dresses to Maggie, both for special occasions. She was helpful, had good ideas and turned around the custom alterations in 1 week. She will now always be my first call should I need something more than a button hole fixed. (FYI - cash or check only) read more

Maggie is the real deal! She took care of all my wedding suit tailoring and I am extremely happy with the results. Turnaround time was pretty quick and she has a great eye for style and fashion. I plan to use her in the future for my tailoring needs. read more

I've used Maggie twice in the last couple of months. One was a same day alteration for some pants I was taking on a trip with me that I discovered very late were way too long! I called Maggie and she had me come in 30 minutes later. A couple hours after that the pants were done and I was on my way. The other was an inexpensive suit that I was forced to buy due to some COVID weight gain (wah waaah). Maggie made the suit look like a million bucks! Would highly recommend. read more

Maggie is a miracle worker when you're in a time crunch! I've gotten suits tailored and a last minute bridesmaids dress altered, and she was thorough and incredibly reliable. The dress was completed just in time and I looked amazing. Can't wait for the event! Thank you again Maggie for being so flexible and helping me out! read more

Maggie was amazing and so quick at altering my wedding dress!! She was so sweet and made me feel so beautiful!

DO NOT GO THERE. I rarely write reviews but this was unacceptable. I gave Maggie my bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding and it came back stained all over from some chalk cleaner she used after marking it with chalk. Look at the photos to see what I mean. She also caused some sort of weird dimpling issue. With 4 days before the wedding, I said that I could rush order a new dress and return it if she was able to get the stains out, but I need her to pay the $80 rush shipping because I won't get that back in the return. She refused to pay. She yelled at me that she wasn't going to pay a cent even though she admitted that it was her fault. She wants me to wait for the dry cleaner to come back with the dress, which may or may not work at removing the stains, and certainly won't fix the dimpling issue. If I don't order the dress today, I won't get it in time for the wedding, so I can't roll the dice with this dry cleaner she is using. This was a brand new $290 dress that I gave her! DO NOT GO TO HER. I am now going to have to pay the cost of the dress, plus the rush shipping and worst case I'll be out $370 + the $75 alteration fee if the original dress is not fixed because I'll have to get it altered as well. Best case I'll be out $80 if I return the 2nd dress and use the first one. The fact that she is so unwilling to take financial responsibility speaks to her lack of morals and ethics. In this day, character is so important, and Maggie is a very flawed and selfish person who values money over doing the right thing. I hope karma exists... read more

Maggie's Alterations - This is the back of the dress but the front is as bad. I just didn't take a photo of it and now she has the dress at the dry cleaners. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Studio City, California

I have found a new fairy godmother. I want to say how appreciative I am for Maggie not only accommodating my extremely rushed order, but executing the alterations so beautifully the dress was more comfortable and stunning than before. Unfortunately, the custom designer dress I had ordered for my New Year's Eve party arrived and it was somehow two sizes smaller than what it was supposed to be, the straps didn't fall properly because I couldn't get the dress over my hips, and the length was so long I couldn't walk (what. the. hell.). I'd barely received it from the designer three business days before the holidays, and five days before my overseas trip so there was no time to send back for adjustments & there was no option for another dress for my event. I had called a few places around in a panic to see if the dress would be able to be altered in time and done properly, and Maggie was the only one up to the task. She assured me that the alterations would be possible and she immediately set to work on it. I was able to receive back my dress perfectly fitting the day of my trip. So thank you, Maggie. You're a real-life fairy godmother. read more

I reached out to Maggie after damaging my beloved silk dress on a doorframe. It was mangled and torn in multiple spots from that one incident. Maggie told me to come in that same day and she assessed the damage. She was very honest about what could and couldn't be accomplished and was transparent about what to expect. I still wanted to try to salvage the dress so I said 'do what you can' and left the dress with her. My expectations were far exceeded when I picked it up the next day. I am so happy with my repaired dress and thrilled about the reasonable pricing. read more

Maggie is incredible. I called her in a panic having just picked up my Bridesmaids dress from a different alterations service that did a horrible job. With less than a week till the wedding I thought it'd be impossible to fix. She not only finished the dress in record time, but it fits perfectly. I can't recommend her enough. read more

I had a great, simple experience with Maggie. Called on a Tuesday to have a dress altered, and went in the same day. She pinned it up, and told me that it would be done in about 3 days and what the cost would be. Called back 3 days later and it was already finished! Tried it on; it fit like a glove! Very quick service, good tailoring, and at a reasonable price. Will be back if I ever need anything else altered! read more

I don't ever give reviews unless I am blown away and I really really want to give Maggie the credit she deserves. I had a horrible situation with my bridal shop making promises they couldn't keep leaving me in tears, and Maggie was so sweet and calming and made me feel so comfortable. She worked her magic and made me feel beautiful in my wedding dress and I am forever grateful. Thank you so much Maggie! read more

I rarely ever need to get things altered. However, when my last alteration fell through Maggie came to the rescue! She altered my prom dress in a week and it is absolutely stunning! read more

Maggie is very nice but I would never go back or recommend her to anyone. I brought her two items. The first was a dress that was too long and the straps needed to be shortened. She shortened the straps more than we talked about and they were very uneven. One strap was more than an inch longer than the other and the hem for the bottom layer was also not straight. I also asked if she could tack the top where the fabric wasn't ruching properly and instead of tacking it to match the top layer that you see, white; She tacked it in the navy underside color so it shows. The other item was a handmade velvet skirt for a costume that was too long. I told her that the hem at the bottom did not matter, because it was a costume. I just needed it shortened. When she gave it back, the bottom two inches were ruined. She had pressed it with a thin towel over it and crushed the velvet. The crushed areas are a lighter color and very obvious. When I showed Maggie, she said well that is how you have to do it. She did not apologize at all for ruining the fabric. She offered to try to get two inches out of waistband to compensate for the bottom, but I knew there wasn't two inches there and I didn't want it ruined further. She still charged me $25 for the ruined skirt. I showed it to a costumer at the party who said that professionals know that velvet needs a special velvet board to be pressed. Maggie never told me there was any potential problems with shortening the skirt and still never apologized nor offered a discount for this problem. I have tried everything to bring the velvet back but it can't be done. I just wouldn't trust her with anything you like. read more

She won't make an appointment and won't give you even a range of costs before you go in. Hard to go in with out an appointment scheduled. You have to call the day of and see if she's there and what her availability is that day. Prices were the highest I received anywhere for dress alterations. She seems knowledgeable, but the process was difficult. read more

I needed it ready a week before the wedding as it was a destination wedding and Maggie was very prompt and helpful! read more
