Asparagus is the key reason why I LOVE this place. I found out that this place is the only one standing of all the asparagus farms we've had in the San Joaquin Valley. As a Filipino American, I am proud to say that the asparagus farms are part of our history and presence here in the Central Valley. My good friend, Victoria Estrada. Invited me to see the place last week and I was just in awwwww! I bought a few batches and want to say that I am very glad that I found this place because it has the best and I mean the best best tasting asparagus that we can actually have that showcases the San Joaquin Central Valley. read more

I went here to get some pants hemmed. The lady said $15 for non rush and $25 for rush. I told her there's no rush on it. Not even 2 hrs later, I called to change the size and make it shorter. But she said she already finished it and I can't change it. So then the next day I picked it up and she's charging me $25 each because she finished it early. I didn't pay the said amount but still gave her a tip even if I was caught on the spot. Came home and she did a horrible job on the pants. Some are not even and one side was hemmed differently than the other side. Will never go back here. She's such a sweet lady but it's not right to charge people like that just because She finished it early. read more

Michael and Naya were very nice and courteous. I needed my pants hemmed so i called them and took it to them. Michael did a quick measure and had it all hemmed by the following day compared to dry cleaners and others who make you wait for days. I highly recommend them! read more

Brought a floor length gown for hemming due to its long length. Received back with weird and poor craftsmanship. Tailored so long I had to wear completely different heels from the one I wore at my fitting. Sewed the heavy top layer of my gown to the thin interior layer, probably to make the job easier and not have to sew two separate layers. This made the gown lay weird and not smooth, was obvious in all photos. Hem line itself is very thick and not even straight. Don't go here. Pricing isn't even all that cheap considering it's a cash only home operation. read more

The tailor was so lovely. Very polite and nice. She was very good with my granddaughter and it took no time to have the item done.

My Taylor was absolutely awesome she did a fantastic job and I feel part of family she's very affordable and I believe she will always make you the best dressed out in our central valley read more

Yelp needs to add a thumbs down feature because this alteration place is by far the worst I've ever seen! I ignored a bunch of red flags because a nice little old grandma was on the other end of the phone. I thought it may work out and she may have a lot of experience. I purchased my brand new House of CB dress and dropped it off to her. The fitting was seriously strange. Someone else also said in their review that she is touchy feely. And she was! She literally sat there and waited for me to undress. And when I wasn't undressing she asked if I wanted her to step out. I said yes! So I get the dress on and called her back in. I explained that all I needed her to do was to loosen the straps because they were too tight. But she insisted on making them tighter to lift the corset up higher. I told her it needs to be loosened because it was digging into my shoulders. She then insisted on showing me how high the corset needed to be to cover my cleavage and decided to scoop my right breast up with her hands. after more discussion about where the corset is supposed to go, she conceded and said she would loosen the straps about an inch and a half. Which is what I wanted. She tells me to pick it up the next day. I thought great! At pick up she couldn't remember who I was or what dress I brought in. I had to tell her it's a black satin dress. I am no seamstress and do not claim to know anything about altering a dress. But stitching was sub par and looked like something I could have done myself. Not only that but she made the straps even tighter! I was sooo disappointed. I told her to give me my money back. Mind you it was only $10! It's on principle!She then proceeds to tell me that this is a very hard job. At that point I just wanted my dress, the bag, and hanger back and get out of there. Btw, this is a home alterations place. Another red flag I ignored. I left, stopped by Walmart to pick up a sewing kit and did it myself. It looks like but is no different than what she did. And it only cost $5 for materials. read more

I've used "Morning Light" a few times and I've always been happy with the service and results. We've taken everything from a ladies formal dress to karate uniforms that needed patches sewn on to work pants. I've always had a pleasant experience during fitting and pickup and prices are reasonable. read more

Initially I was relieved to have had my dress altered. I was told it would be $270 for all of the specifics, so I arrived with $280 to pick up my dress. She ended up telling me it was going to be an extra $30 for some reason. So I got ripped off I think lol. On top of that, she was pretty handsy which definitely didn't feel very comfortable. read more

This lady is horrible! She ruined my expensive bridesmaid dress. So upset right now. First off, she doesn't have the cleanest environment. If you are modest like me, you will be very uncomfortable. No privacy whatsoever. I needed her to shorten my straps and length of dress. She claimed because of the fabric, she had to charge me $85. I find out from the other bridesmaids, she completely overcharged. Then I get my dress back. I had to show up there since she never called me asap when it was ready. So its now too late if there's a problem. I put it on, length is incorrect, the hem looks like a 5 year old did it, the straps look like they will last about a hour, and one strap is crooked. I posted pics. So mad.... read more

I took my wedding dress to her to Do my alterations. I just needed it hemmed and bustle put on the back. she insisted that I needed a boob supporter. I went ahead and had her put the boob supporter in. When I went to try on my dress it looked like a completely different dress she took the dress out on each side 2" without even asking me. It was a corset back therefore it didn't lace up properly. She also took the boning out of the side of my dress in said I didn't need it and it was making my dress fall down. I was in tears because it was not the same dress. She told me it was because I was a bigger girl and had large boobs. I showed her a picture side-by-side of how she made my dress look and how the dress looked in January before I took it to her she said that lady in the dress has smaller boobs than you that's why it looks better on her. I stated to her that lady in the dress is me. I paid a lot of money for my dress to be altered I picked up my dress and took it to Maxine's bridle where I purchased it from and it's gonna cost me a $165 to fix what she's done to the dress .It wasnt even, one side was 3" longer than the other the side of the dress was she took out was coming unstitched .The bustle in the back was not even with the dress there was a bunch of snags in the dress.After I left there the next day I went back to Dolores to show her everything that was wrong with the dress and how much it was going to cost me to fix it thinking she's a business woman she would wanna make things right and reimburse me for my dress she got really defensive and said that she knows what she's doing And the bridal shops way isn't right so now I'm stuck with a dress that has to be shorter than it's supposed to be because she made one side shorter than the other please be careful if you're going to her to do your alterations for your wedding I would advise you go somewhere else read more

My daughter had hired a seamstress in Stockton. Her dress was a wreck. I paid a high price for a rookie to practice on. I called MLA which I've used before, well she saved the day yet again. I am so happy with her quality and urgency she put into saving this wedding. No need to go anywhere else. I am so great full... read more

I took my favorite jacket in to have a cell phone pocket sewn inside. The owner was very friendly and professional. I showed her how I wished the pocket to look on another jacket. She didn't need to measure or anything, but the pocket came out Perfect. She had it ready the next day! Prior to bringing the jacket to her, I brought it to another tailor, who said the job could not be done, and would be too expensive. She charged me $25. I will be back. Thanks read more

In search for my wedding dress alterations this past Sept. 3rd 2009, I was recommended a home seamstress who specialized in wedding gowns. Her motto is "Professional Seamstress and Pattern maker, Specialize in Wedding Gown; Bridesmaid and Formal Dresses and other sewing Services". In giving her a call, she was very pleasant and didn't mind that I called her a few times after, with more wedding dress alteration questions. She was always available to answer a call and be at home whenever I needed to drop off or pick up my wedding dress. Delores's prices were fair in comparison with others I had checked out, so since they were affordable for me, I chose her for doing my wedding gown alterations. *(Of course going into someone's home you don't know isn't recommended, yet I was told very good things about the seamstress from trusted friends.) I went to her Manteca home to try on my dress for the first fitting. She pinned it where needed, and we discussed what I found needed altering from the bridal consultants I spoke to when the dress was purchased. *(Having notes ahead of time and the height of your wedding shoe is very helpful in a fitting.) Trusting Delores wasn't easy because I had never seen her work, but because I was told that her prices and results were great, I entrusted my wedding dress alterations to her! The fact that my gown had tons of intricate beading surprisingly didn't cause the price to escalate. The bustle was $50, the waist $50,....overall the total was $170 (included also the hemming, replacing of missing beading, fixing the sleeves, and last minute removal of the inside zippers at no charge). When I came back in Oct. to pick up the dress after one of my bridal showers, Delores welcomed me and a few of my girlfriends in for the final fitting. She had done a fabulous job on the dress; it fit tightly, the waist fit well, the hem was just touching the floor perfectly with my healed shoes on, the beaded sleeves were now perfectly in place, the bustle was very sturdy and elegant,....everything was amazingly well done. She did a flawless job and my dress was looking as if it never was touched. My girlfriends were just in quiet awe as I showed them the final fit. I'm glad I trusted Delores and that she let me pay in two separate checks before I picked up the dress. She was pleasant and did a great job, making my dress look like it was made just for me on my special day. Now it was the Spanish style I wanted! Delores was very sweet the last day I picked up the dress and gave me a complementary bag of ripe persimmons. One of my bridesmaids and my maid of honors all got their dresses altered by Delores. (Big groups receive discounts.) I highly recommend her services in Manteca. She is very good and very pleasant. read more

Dolores is amazing!! I went to one seamstress that told me to return the dress because it would be too much work and cost too much to alter it. I brought it to Dolores and she worked her magic! It was ready the very next day, and I had two dresses altered for less than the one place quoted me for one. And she is the nicest person around. Don't even bother trying anyone else. read more

This is a tricky review. This place gets 2 stars for the following reasons and I'll try to keep it short... Took my wedding dress in to have it hemmed, bustled, and the top taken in (strapless and it was a little big last time I tried it on) I hadn't tried the dress on in a few months mind you and when Delores was helping me put it on I hear, "ohhhhh it not fit! It's too small I'll need to let it out 5 inches" 5 inches?! Seriously? How is that possible? I have lost weight since I bought my dress so I'm thinking this is really weird. However, I was mortified and embarrassed so I took it off and trusted that she knew what she was doing and she could fix it. She would have to let it out and take off all the beading and move it so that the corset back and the side beading are in the right place and centered. After a month of stress, disappointment, and starvation I go in to try it out again and bring my mom and sister with me. As i am sitting waiting for my turn i hear her with another client telling her, "It not fitting! I need to take out 9 inches" 9"?! I'm thinking that's weird that someone would buy a dress 9" too small... It's my turn next and I try it on and see that she has altered my dress so that the corset laces completely closed making it so it's as though it doesn't exist!!!! Ugh!!!! If I didn't want a corset back I wouldn't have bought that style dress!!! I asked her why she did that and she looks confused and responds, "Ohhhh you no like like that?" I had to pull my phone out to show her a picture of me in my dress to show her that the corset is intentional and of course I no like that!! Long story short she fixed it and took it in an additional 2" from the original size. Yes it was perfect after the fact and yes it looked as though it was never touched and yes she did a great job. I think she is a sneaky soul and will try to tell you that you need alterations that are not necessary. If you use her please proceed with caution and take someone with you who will give you an honest opinion. read more

She messed up my daughter's prom dress. She is way over priced! I had to have it fixed just so my daughter could wear it! I am very disappointed! read more

This lady charged me $60 dollars just shorten my dress. It was a regular dress not a bridesmaid or wedding dress. Other areas were charging between $15-20 dollars but it was going to take almost a week for them to have it ready. If you are looking for someone to do the work fast you can count on this lady but she will charge a lot. read more

My daughter wanted to wear my wedding dress for her wedding. Because I wore it in 1982, it was a bit "outdated" for her style. We took it to Delores and gave her a few ideas of what my daughter was looking for. It turned out absolutely beautiful. I recommend her, always. read more

Her prices are too high!! She is too touchy, feely when trying to show alteration suggestion.

Horrible job, she ruined my daughter dress and I have to go to a different place to fix for what she did. she charged me $90 for nothing.

EXCELLENT service and work! I came to her with two of my wedding dresses. One was a fitted mermaid, the other a flowy A-line. I was 3 months pregnant at the time when I first met her. So I knew this was going to be a huge challenge for her and I. Approximately guessing how big I was going to be on my wedding day, 5-6 months pregnant. But she reassured me with confidence. We carefully planned each fitting so that we would have enough time if anything went wrong. Being a stressed out bride I came to my last fitting feeling extremely happy. Happy that both fit so comfortably. I got numerous compliments on the dresses. I owe it to her for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day. From my experience, this lady is honest and dependable. If you trust in her, she will not disappoint. read more

Nice job on my two comforters !!! Fair price for cash only with great turnaround time.

I would definitely recommend her for any tailoring needs. She does beautiful work! She is also able to take emergency repairs and handle them in a timely and perfect manner. I would never pay anyone else for any of my alterations. Very happy Mother of the Groom read more

I brought her a picture of a flower girl dress and she created it exactly, for my two grand daughters. It's a three layer dress,including a hoop.

Came here to get my dress altered for a wedding. She was very sweet and welcoming, however very pricey. I had an off the shoulder dress and for some reason she had a difficult time altering it,so I ended up having to safety pin it for the wedding. I would recommend coming here for jeans and minor alterations, but if you have an important event take your dress elsewhere. read more

Love Nayla she is amazing does excellent work and she is so nice. I take all my alterations to her. She is passionate about her work.

Asked her to put a slit in my prom dress, all she did was literally cut a line up it, didn't sew the seams at all like any seamstress would, that is what i was paying for, i could cut a line with scissors myself easily for free. So the seam is coming undone and the cut wasn't even straight at all it looks horrible. Charged me $40 for it. Not happy read more

I bought a dress online and it was the last one in my size. I got it in the mail and the zipper was broken, I could return it for my money back, but I really loved the dress especially because I was attending a wedding and needed something soon. So I went to Macy's to see if maybe they could do it, but they told me they couldn't do it unless I bought the item for them. I called morning light alterations and she told me to come in when I could and she could have it done by the end of the day, I came in with my dress at 4:30 and picked it up at 5:30. The zipper is perfect and looks like it never broke. I will definitely be going back to her, she was very kind and quick at her job. read more

She is so wonderful!! A really joyful interesting person to know and an amazing seamstress. I have to say my daughter and I brought a bridesmaids dress to her to be made into a cocktail dress and not only has she done a wonderful job on the dress we've had great fun getting to know her. I'm on a diet and am looking forward to bringing some of my clothing in to be altered when I hit my goal weight. read more

Let me start by saying that this review is not about they work they do this is strictly a customer service review. I called her last month and when I talked her about needing alterations soon for my wedding dress and she seemed very nice. I told her I would call her back and schedule an appointment closer to the time and after I have checked out some other places. After shopping around and seeing the reviews on yelp I decided that I would go with this place to do my alterations. I called last Friday and left a message and here it is a week later and I have not gotten a call back. I have called a couple more times and got no answer. I am big on customer service and getting a call back when I call a business. The fact that she could not be bothered to call me back after a week of waiting does not strike me as someone I want to deal with when it comes to my wedding dress. I am sure she does alterations well but customer service is just as important to me. If she can't even call me back to schedule a simple appointment what will happen if I need to reach her regarding my dress. Sorry but not a risk I am willing to take. I gave an extra star for the first conversation I had with her and even that is generous. read more

This review does not reflect her capability as a seamstress because I was quite happy with her work. However, this review is a reflection of her fairness as far as cost goes. When I initially went for a fitting she was very polite and we engaged in a nice conversation. She then went onto asking me what I did for work. I told her. Then she asked me how much I made hourly.... My dumb ass didn't think twice about this question but my best friend that was with me and later told me that she asked me this to determine how much she was going to charge me. Two stars are for over charging me for a simple hem. ( and when I say simple I don't mean I could have done it myself... Because I don't know a thing about sewing) I mean that my mother in law who is also a seamstress would have not charged $20 for a hem.... And $60 to fix tight shoulders on a dress) I would have had my mother in law do the work but she is sick and I needed these item in hurry as I am leaving for vacation and this was a last minute alteration. I originally brought 3 items to her and felt like I was being overcharged to begin with so I just omitted the third item... I would have been charged well over 150$ Another reason why I am giving two stars is because she told me the two Items were going to be a total of $60 and when I went to pick up the clothes she charged me an extra $20.... I personally think she should have given me a call and made me aware that things where going to cost more than what she had originally quoted me for. Especially because she accepts CASH ONLY! Again. I feel like her work on a scale from 0-10 was a 7/10 to 8/10 work but her honesty and greed got her this two star review. read more

Absolutely wonderful! I have had some bad experience with alterations in the past and so was a little wary when finding someone to do my wedding dress. I found this wonderful woman through Yelp and I couldn't be happier! She worked really quickly and had my dress ready on time. My dress had some beading around the waist that I was worried about getting messed up when having the dress taken in, but looking at it I can't even tell that anything was changed other than that it fits now! Very happy with her work, reasonable prices, and she was very sweet! I will definitely go to her if I need alterations in the future! read more

I phoned several places that state they do "same day alterations"; not one would do a simple hem for me today. I called Morning Light Alterations and asked if I could get an urgent hem done today, she said come right over, do you have my address and proceeded to give me directions. She had my pants done within 4 hours, they look great and now I will have them for tomorrow, keeping her name on file, plus she was affordable! read more
