    I am not the person who left review whit poor service, but i have to review this alternator. Ieft two jeans which is not the preimum, but around $200 value each. I asked to save original bottom and attached to hem length, but they made jeans trash. Very poor skills. $20 each jeans to alternator. Understood the price, but very poor skill.

    Top Manny's work. Bottom Purple Tie's work. Both asked not to keep original hem. Obviously one looks better.

    After 7 years of dealing with long sleeves and pants, I got fed up with folding/pinning everything that I have decided to invest in getting my current clothes hemmed rather than buy new ones in hopes that they'll fit. Manny does an excellent job with clean stitches (check pictures for references). Not sure why everyone thinks he's unfriendly - he's just doing his job and is a "to the point" kind of guy, which is fine by me because I'm not much for small talk for services. For 3 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of dress pants from NYC, and a blazer that needed to be hemmed / sleeves shortened... he only charged my $40. Not bad given the quality, and way cheaper compared to other places like Purple Tie where they charge $14-$20 for a hem. I didn't even ask to keep the original hem on my 7 For All Mankind... but look at the hem! It's so clean and hardly looks like it's been hemmed. Even the backside stitch is clean compared to Purple Tie. Very small business, but the guy running the show does good work!

    Manny did a great job in altering my wife's long coat! Took him about a week to do, and very impressed with his skills!

    Ivy cleaners did a phenomenal job on the two dresses I needed altered! She has a single changing…read moreroom to put dress on and a floor length mirror so she can put the needed pins to ensure length! We agreed upon a day to pick up and it was ready (and wrinkle free!) when I got there. I'd recommend bringing your heels both for drop off and pick up to ensure its correct length. Pricing was pretty fair! She accepts cash and card. What my favorite experience with my interactions with I presume was ivy is how sweet she is! She has very good energy. I'd come back for all my tailoring needs for not just the exceptional work but to support her and her friendliness demeanor.

    Make sure to check your garments before you leave at pick up…read more I've brought a couple sets of clothes here for dry cleaning. Got one set back with stains still on the garment but assumed it might just not be removable. Idk figured it was worth giving the benefit of the doubt since the staff seemed nice and capable. I should've been more diligent in checking the clothes the next time before I left but the recent set of clothes I picked up I inspected when I got home and looked untouched, in their original state and then I noticed the tag reading "needs sewing" was still on my dress strapped and unfixed. It wouldn't be that annoying since it really is my own fault but I gave the woman an extra week to fix it after she told me she was unable to do it in the original allotted time. I really should've checked in store before I left so it's mostly on me and they were a nice enough staff, just be careful before you pay. Either way, I paid full price for all of this and it wasn't cheap so I'm annoyed since I'll have to pay for them again to get done somewhere else properly.

    I got my wedding dress at Anthropologie in Walnut Creek and Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations was…read moreactually on a vetted list of bridal seamstresses in the area. I picked them because they were the closest ones to me geographically, but in hindsight I'm so grateful and feel lucky because it ended up being a wonderful experience. It takes a lot of blind trust to leave your dress with a complete stranger to cut up, only picking it up in the final weeks or even days before your wedding. I called the # listed and was connected with Thao (whose mother is Thuy) and immediately I loved knowing that this is a family business. Thao is very responsive and if she misses your call, you should leave a voicemail and she will get back to you in a timely fashion. Thao got me scheduled in right away for my free consultation within 48 hours of me reaching out. This was in November 2025 and the consult took us about 25 minutes. Initially, we just discussed what alterations needed to be done and we calendared a time for me to come in again for another fitting (closer to my March wedding). We agreed for me to come back in January 2026 after the holidays, to see if my body had changed at all. At the time, in November, my dress was a "perfect fit" and only needed some hemming and a bustle. In January, she quoted me and I paid at my final fitting pick-up. When I returned in January, thankfully, my body had not changed at all. Thao was actually the one who told me that my dress was a perfect fit in a November so beyond my regular diet and exercise, I did not make any major lifestyle changes so I wasn't too surprised when my dress still fit great! She pinned up my dress to prepare to hem four layers and we scheduled out another fitting for the first week of March 2026. This appointment took about 40 minutes. In March 2026, I came and the innermost skirt was a little too long at my second fitting when I tried to practice some moves for my first dance. Thao said she was able to fix it- no problem. She even steamed my cathedral veil for me. I returned a week later for my final fitting and everything was perfect. She sent me off and I got married later that week. I felt wonderful and beautiful on my wedding day, and I wore my gown for over 15 hours. Just this past weekend, I connected with her again to schedule out dropping off my dress and veil for dry-cleaning and some minor repairs. My dress had a few tears and the outer skirt was torn. Thao was really honest about her approach and shared how she planned to repair it and quoted me on the spot. She is really transparent and fast, and her prices are very fair. You can spend hours comparing quotes in the area, or you can just trust me - a really happy bride - and know that depending on how much work has to be done on your gown, you may be quoted somewhere between $200-650 here and her work will leave you feeling like you have -1 major thing to worry about. I think the key to the best experience is less on the seamstress and more on the bride: find a dress you feel comfortable in, one that compliments your body, and perhaps one that doesn't need a million things changed. Lastly, some personal advice: plan ahead- she is super busy and has tons of brides coming in everyday who already have an appointment. Don't wait until a month out to see a seamstress for the first time...! Make sure to bring your wedding shoes at every fitting if you have them!
