I got the bottom of my wedding guest dress shortened and Lydia made it look like it was never cut or re-sewn!

Lydia quoted me $20 for the service and said she could try a certain stitch to fix it as best she could which included hand sewing. She cautioned that it would not be invisible but she'd do the best she could. I appreciated Lydia's reasonable quote and her honesty. She was also local, which made pick up and drop off easier. Price wise, I found Lydia very reasonable. While a couple of places quoted $15, they were located in San Jose which would have been a further pick up and drop off for me. Lydia finished the job less than 24 hours after I originally dropped off the piece. I thought it might take a few days, so this was a pleasant surprise. I think she did a great job. Overall, I had a good experience. Excellent communication, reasonable price, and honesty / managed expectations on the fix. Thank you!

Their alteration work is very good for what I needed. The price is reasonable and fair to my budget.

The final product was very clean and I received a lot of compliments during and after my daughter's wedding. I highly recommend Golden Thread Alterations to anyone who needs alteration work (for weddings, senior ball, celebrations, etc.).

Response to owner's reply. A smile goes a long way to making a customer feel welcomed. You are a…read morecharming and polite man and I appreciate you. My problem is with owners/employees who do not return a smile or meet my eye. Whether intended or not, this made me feel too unimportant to be bothered with, more like I was a pesky fly. To be clear, I have zero problem with business owners not speaking English, especially when a co-owner is fluent and handles communication. I am the grandchild of immigrants. I am also unhappy with a fluctuating price. Again, don't lower the price after I regretfully and politely decide to leave. Set a fair price to begin with, not a high price you then lower when a customer balks. Most of us are very uncomfortable about bargaining over price and discovering the first price given is a starting bid. Just sharing my opinion.

The reviews were pretty positive so I felt good coming here. Located in a plaza right near Safeway, parking is abundant and free so no concern there. It can get busy in here. I arrived on a weekday after work and there was one person in front of me, but I was quickly helped out afterward. They had me try on the dress and got to working pining everything down. Once I reviewed their pinning, I changed back into my regular clothes, paid, and left. Drop off and pick up is really easy. My dress after alterations turned out great and I'd happily come here again for any alterations need.

Her inability to properly schedule appointments and have projects completed on time disqualifies "Said with Threads, LLC" as a viable option for having clothing alterations performed. If you are an East Bay resident and need alterations performed, please read the rest of this review before scheduling an appointment with this establishment. I've been going to Eileen since December 2024. Online reviews looked good, and her shop was near my house, which made it convenient for me. I encountered an odd issue with her during my first visit. She had informed me my pants were ready for pickup, and I specified the day/time I would be coming in. When I went to her shop for pickup, I called, and she informed me she had gone to deliver an order for someone else because she didn't think I would appear on time. I was completely baffled as to why she reached this conclusion and why she admitted it verbally. Between September and October 2025, I had requested that she perform alterations on some pants. On this occasion I was charged the day I left the articles with her and was assured they'd be ready on the date she had specified. Prior to picking them up, I called Eileen and informed her I was on my way. When she answered, she told me my pants were not ready and that she hadn't even started working on them. I was quite upset over this since more than a week had passed since I'd left the pants with her. About a month later, I brought in a blazer she had worked on previously and asked her to reattach the buttons, as some of them had come loose. Although she did not charge me for this, she assured me the blazer would be ready on time. She failed to have the blazer ready on time when I went to her shop. I went to go run some errands for about an hour, and when I came back, she had finished working on my blazer. This indicated that she did not need more than a week to work on my blazer and had procrastinated or otherwise failed to make good use of her time. What frustrated me, however, was the condition in which she returned my blazer. It was covered in lint/hair/debris and had a strange odor to it. I had dry-cleaned it prior to leaving it with Eileen, and her utter lack of regard for keeping it clean really upset me. Most recently, during December 2025, I requested an appointment two days in advance. I wanted her to hem some pants I needed for work. She had agreed to meet me at 11 am on a Wednesday. On the day of the appointment, I called her to let her know I had arrived. When she answered, she told me she had mistakenly marked my appointment for a different time/day and had left to attend to another client.

I really want to give this place a 5 star review because Eileen is so sweet/friendly... but this…read morewas the one and only thing that made me cry throughout the entire wedding planning process :'( Three months before my wedding, I brought my dress in for my initial consultation and price quote. I found Said With Threads through a Facebook wedding page and Yelp (all with good reviews!). Eileen doesn't uncharge for weddings so her price was much more reasonable compared to other bridal boutiques. Another reason I chose her was because her shop was close by, only a ~10 minute drive away. Initially, the plan was to have the dress done in 3-4 visits but it ended up being a total of 10 (!!!!) appts... literally up until the week before leaving for my wedding. It was soooo stressful going into each appt because it was always a gamble on whether or not the dress had been changed/fixed since the last appt. In addition, EVERY TIME that the dress was too tight, she asked if it was because I was bloated/swollen from being on my menstrual cycle.. even when I'm not (not sure if it's just me but I find that to be lowkey rude lol) 6/21 - initial consult 7/9 - first fitting, measured and pinned 7/16 - waist too tight, cut hem 7/30 - waist still too tight, uneven hem 8/4 - cancelled due to covid 8/24 - still the same waist tightness, she noticed I was upset so she planned/pinned the bustle 8/28 - waist slightly looser but still tight, bustle uneven 9/3 - nothing done because she thought the appt was the next day 9/4 - tightness around the waist still the same, shoulder straps uneven, I requested to see the dress with the bustle undone and I noticed that the hem was way too long when the bustle was let down 9/9 - waist feels even tighter, I had to recommend her to measure my waist with my regular clothes on for comparison 9/10 - dress fits well, she fixed some slightly loose fabric under one armpit when I pointed it out but OMG FINALLY DONE!!!

Really unprofessional behavior…read more 1) took off her mask and breathed all over me, didn't even ask if I was ok with it 2) did not know to to subtly hem my dress 3) told me it was impossible even though the store I bought it from (BHLDN) said that it was 4) acted patronizing when I showed her pictures of other hem jobs ("sweetie, there's no way that this was hemmed") Long: I got a wedding dress from BHLDN. Usually these dresses are made long to accomodate different heights, and BHLDN assured me that it could be shortened subtly for my height. When I took my dress to Haydee she said this was impossible and made me feel stupid for even bringing it up. It's a popular dress, so showed her pictures of the same dress in the same size being modified to fit someone shorter than me. She claimed that it must have never been hemmed and that I was being tricked. Haydee almost convinced me (saying there wasn't enough time before my wedding and that I should book her NOW) but my mom insisted on taking me to get another opinion. We called the BHLDN store and they again told me that it was designed to be hemmed (as all their dresses are). They recommended me someone else, who showed me how there are these flaps that are built into the bottom of the skirt so that when you do the hem job, they can hide the sewing. They said this was really common for wedding dresses. I thought this information could be useful for Haydee in her future work and to let her know I was going with some else (which I know can be awkward but I figured was better than ghosting her), so I texted to let her know these things, but she turned pretty rude - see attached screenshot. As a pretty important aside, she also took off her mask and breathed all over me during my appointment with her. When I prodded her about it, she said it was just too uncomfortable. Great, I hope I didn't catch Covid her...
