10/10 experience getting my suit dry cleaned at Irene's…read more I had a last minute need for dry cleaning and called around to a few places for expedited service. Irene was the only local store I called that could get it done within 1 day. The expedited fee was also very reasonable. Dropped it off at 5:30 pm and it was ready by 6:00 pm the next day. Life saver! Thank you Irene!

I had lost weight after our first fitting of my wedding dress. She adjusted. Then I gained back some of the weight. She adjusted again! My dress had a quirky seam, and she was determined to fix how the hem lay. She worked on it and made sure she fixed it before my wedding deadline, coming in to work on my dress on her time off. Needless to say, my dress turned out beautiful and fit perfectly!

Having read the other review on Yelp, I thought this would be a perfect place to take my wedding…read moredress for alterations. I called to make an appointment and the lady I talked with on the phone said "If you need to change, just call us the day before." I called the day before because my bustier still hadn't arrived, and she rescheduled me for two weeks later. She took my phone number and said that if something opened up the following week, she'd give me a call, but otherwise, "just show up in two weeks." This morning was that two week mark. I packed up my dress, shoes, everything and went to the alterations place. The sign on the door said "closed saturday through tuesday. for pick up please call [#]." Okay. So I called the number. Maybe she was just coming in by appointment. The woman I spoke to said, "no, I've never heard of you, you don't have an appointment." Apparently this was a different woman than the one I had talked to (it seemed like a one-person kind of place, but what do I know? I'd just talked to them on the phone). I explained that I had made an appointment and she said "well you're not in the book." I said okay, so what do we do? She said, acting really put out, "well, what do you need done to the dress? do you just need it hemmed or what?" I started trying to explain to her, but then she acted like it was all a big deal, [also, aren't they supposed to SEE you with the dress on and THEY assess what needs to be done? I'm not a fashion designer!] so I broke off and told her, "I think I'll just go elsewhere; thanks for wasting my last three weeks." I'm not taking a wedding dress to someone who couldn't be bothered to say "sorry about the mix-up, let's reschedule you" instead of acting like I am some kind of pain in her butt for showing up to an appointment I had scheduled. I am hesitant to say anything negative during this wedding planning process because they always call you a bridezilla, but I do not want anyone to deal with this utter waste of time.

I've had her alter a bride's maid dress and a pair of pants, and she did a perfect job on both. She is friendly and helpful, and her rates are reasonable. Elizabeth spoke to my sewing class one night at Ventura College, and she was very inspiring. She taught herself to sew at the age of 12, and has had a very interesting life since then (she grew up in South America).

I sent a couple pictures of my project (a denim jacket with multiple patches) and Heidi sent me a very fair estimate within 30 minutes. We then arranged to drop off the garment and she had the whole thing done in under a week.

I'm really happy with the outcome and the dress looks perfect!

Not only is Yon kind and humorous, but she also worked magic on a stained dress that I brought in…read more In December, I thrifted a $200 dress for only $20, and I couldn't wait to wear it at a friend's New Year's Eve party. On NYE, I had it on for less than an hour when a relative reached over me at dinner dripped oily beef juice all over the skirt. Dabbing with dish soap only made the stains worse. Yon warned me that she might not be able to remove the stain but told me that she would try. By the time that I came to pick it up, all of the stains were completely gone. I'm so grateful for her help and I'm relieved that I get to wear this dress more than once.
