    Expensive and sloppy work for a simple job that took multiple days. I would not recommend.

    He is the real deal. He's been sewing since his childhood and he is patient and did a wonderful job.

    My wedding dress was a straightforward crepe material that needed to be taken in a medium/small…read moreamount for a wedding dress - an easy job on the surface, but it needed to be done well to really fit well because of the style. This placed aced it! After my first fitting, the dress needed a few final-touch adjustments to really fit its most flattering. I explained the nuance & what I was looking for, and next appointment it was perfect. They also advised PERFECTLY on the length, the train, and the bustle. These guys know their stuff. In addition to their craft, their turnarounds and prices are incredible - that's what bumped them from "excellent" to "rave about them to friends" in my book. I was able to book my appointment same week, the first turnaround was one month, and the second turnaround (which was no additional cost) was another week. They also quoted me about 1/3 of what an experienced, luxury wedding dress alterations specialist quoted me. Bonus - since my wedding, I took in 2 pair of jeans for hemming and they did a great job with those two. turnaround was only a month

    I did not expect the experience i had in light of the reviews i've seen. I had one large loose…read morecotton shirt to be copied and remade exactly as it was. i did say the top button could be left off. and i had two long dresses to be hemmed. one came out perfectly and the other was an eyelet hem that had to be taken off and replaced at the correct length and with the side slits to remain the same length as originally. The hemmed eyelet dress is 1-1/2 inches too short on one side and is lopsided. The shirt being copied came back with plastic snaps instead of buttons. i asked for those to be replaced with buttons. the tailor asked for two extra days to redo and i gave him four extra days. This afternoon i went to pick up and was told they were waiting for buttons they ordered. three 1/2" white buttons and buttonholes could not be put in over 4 days??? !!! What a waste of $300+ If someone had called me to explain it would have helped.

    Just moved to LA and was in need desperate need of a good and trusted tailor. I had a bridemaids…read moredress that was huge on me and William was able to bring it in and hem the length in a week! When I tried it on I initially thought it was too tight and he was willing to bring it out again with no issues. I tried it one more time just to be sure and turns out I was just wearing it too high lol, the dress fit perfectly! During the pick up I also brought in a skirt that was just a bit too loose hoping to fix it in time before my trip. I found out altering it would've cost more than it was worth so I decided against it. William instead offered to do a quick fix on the spot instead of fully altering it AND didn't charge me for it, so kind of him. William and his wife have been in business for 33 years and are experts at what they do. They're extremely kind and honest, I'll be coming here for all my alterations now!

    I specifically called to ask if they did reweaving and they said yes. I then dropped off two…read moresweaters with small moth holes and made it absolutely clear that I wanted reweaving not stitching. I repeated this several times explaining that reweaving should be invisible and that I did not want stitching under any circumstances since I had already had a bad experience with this elsewhere. They told me they understood and that the work would take two weeks. When I came back I was shocked to find that they had done exactly what I asked them not to do, they stitched the holes. The stitches are obvious to the eye and to the touch yet they insisted it was "reweaving." My sweaters are now ruined and the only way I could get them back was to pay for work I never agreed to. I feel completely cheated and lied to about what services they provide and forced to pay for the exact opposite of what I asked for. On top of that I now have to pay again somewhere else to try and salvage my sweaters. This was a very dishonest and upsetting experience.

Most recent drop off was the regular-learned-the-hard-way-not-to-wash clothing items and hubby's fave à la Mr. Rodger's cardigan. Stretched out button holes, it had become incapable of keeping him snug, cozy. $8 per to tighten them = snug, cozy. I truly would have messed up this repair. ALL items cleaned with care, packaged appropriately ready to be worn this coming fall/winter. Short term drop-off/pick-up parking at entrance off of Westwood Boulevard and Holman Avenue. We usually walk to Sterling Cleaners for drop-off but pick-up via our car(s). Made the mistake at pick-up by parking in an employee only zone. Fortunately, thanks to efficient staff, I was only in an employee's space for mere minutes. Whew! Check-in on Yelp but there's no longer a discount along with it. When I mentioned this we were given a 25% off neighborhood courtesy. Sterling Cleaners now prefers a Google review but I'm gonna stick with Yelp.

I caught one shirt before I left and got them to reclean but my tuxedo shirt still had a mark on the back when I pulled it out. It's a full white shirt so I'm not sure how someone might think the shirt is clean especially for the price you pay.
