She added an intricate bustle that contoured nicely, and added support to the bust of the dress so that it held up on its own when I chose to ditch the sleeves for the reception. Being small chested I've never had a dress hold up so securely - even through an entire night of dancing! And even though the dress was so durable, it was also still comfortable throughout the day. I am so happy I basically got two beautiful dresses for the price of one. And I've already recommended her services to other friends who have also been so happy with Helen and her work!

Overall, I had a great experience working with Nazila for my wedding dress alterations. She was…read morealways friendly, responsive, and made sure every alteration I requested was completed exactly as I wanted. My dress fit beautifully on my wedding day. The pricing did feel a bit high at times, but since this was my first time having a wedding dress altered, I don't have much to compare it to. Regardless, the quality of the work was excellent. After taking my dress home, I noticed one small area that could have benefited from a slight adjustment. When I reached out, Nazila responded quickly and gave me helpful recommendations on where to place fashion tape, which worked well. I do wish we had caught that during one of my fittings, but I also hadn't noticed it until trying the dress on again at home. I also purchased a custom veil from her, and it was absolutely perfect. The color matched my dress 100%, which can be so difficult to find. I really appreciated that attention to detail. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, communicative, and genuinely cares about making sure you feel your best on your wedding day, I would definitely recommend Nazila.

Nazila came to my rescue after having a bridal breakdown from a situation with a previous tailor. I…read morecame to her ONE month before my destination wedding, and from the initial phone call alone she made me feel at ease and in good hands. My dress not only needed lots of work done but the fabric was custom liquid organza which is extremely slick and slippery, but she handled it with such skill & care. She was able to squeeze me in her already packed schedule, and within one week of work she already made incredible progress! I was so impressed with her attention to detail, professionalism, and efficiency. On top of all that, she was so easy to work with and so so kind :) I knew I would incur rush fees with the timeframe I was in, but I found her overall pricing to be very reasonable. I'm beyond happy with how my dress turned out! With Nazila's exceptional skills, I had my dream wedding dress and in just one month! If you're looking to get a wedding dress, formal wear, high end gowns, etc tailored, I 10/10 recommend Nazila!

It's been almost 7 years since I started coming here and I can't believe I haven't posted a review…read more Jila is one of the most attentive and passionate tailors I have ever met. Her attention to detail and knowledge of fabric, cut and style is impeccable. If I need something to fit me like a glove, I do not go anywhere else. I trust her with my everyday items, casual, business, etc. i'm so thankful for the day my husband introduced me to her. Her boutique is quaint and pretty and has a curated selection of clothing and accessories from all over the world. She made me look beautiful on my wedding day and did a great job of altering my Anthropologie gown.

Wow! Thoroughly impressed by Jila's services. She altered 3 dresses from my bridal wardrobe:…read more 1. A flowy, ruffled colorful dress for my welcome party. She amended the waistband to be tighter and shortened the dress while maintaining the flow and comfort of the dress. 2. My after party dress had a beaded skirt and jila carefully shortened it. Fit perfectly. 3. Lastly, my Kim Kassas wedding dress!! Its ruffled mermaid tail is what made it beautiful. I plan to resell my dress and jila altered it so that if someone taller than me buys it, the stitching just needs to be snipped to get it back to the original length. It fit me like a glove. She did an amazing job and I'd highly recommend her to alter clothing for any special occasion!

I've been wanting to wear this tweed coat for years and now that it's mine, I needed someone who was willing to tailor it for me, but I was turned down by the one seamstress in Benicia, which turned out to be my luck, because I wouldn't have found Suliman otherwise! He was very helpful in explaining where and why he was taking in at certain places so my coat hung correctly, something I never even would have thought of, and certain lengths he was hemming the 3 pairs of pants I took in so that they didn't flare out oddly and were the right length to wear with multiple different shoe heights. Highly recommend!

I brought in 10 incredibly…read moreimportant items from my wedding including my couture wedding dress, a vintage rehearsal dinner dress, my after party dress, a beaded welcome party dress, my husband's tux, and several other pieces. Every single item was treated with the utmost care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Joseph, the owner, truly makes this place special. He is such a warm, kind person and someone you genuinely feel good about supporting. You can tell he loves what he does. He takes the time to get to know his clients (and even their dog, in our case!), which makes the experience feel personal and memorable. After cleaning the items, Joseph personally called me to let me know they were ready, which I really appreciated. When I picked them up, I was blown away, everything was cleaned to absolute perfection. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your most meaningful and delicate garments, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend!

Inconsistent pricing. Brought two pairs of jeans in- both needed 1/2 inch taken off the bottom…read more First pair I dropped off 2/9 and was charged $32 for original hem. Second pair I just picked up 3/5 and was charged $48 for original hem 1/2 inch. I said I was charged $32 my first time and immediately the man jumped down my throat that they never charge $32. Well, overall both prices are steep given... also here is proof you charged me $32 and then $48 However they did fit me in, and finished the work timely. I was just a bit upset about the change in price given my first purchase.

I found Mari's Alterations through Yelp because of the many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was not positive so that was when I started looking into the 1 and 2 star reviews on Yelp and Google. They're all saying the same thing about Maria being disorganized and unreliable, which was exactly my experience. And based on reading the negative feedback, I noticed this lady tends to deflect blame. Never her fault. Always something else. I brought in two pairs of jeans for hemming and a wool coat that needed a lining added. Price was affordable. She gave me a week timeline to pick up. I originally planned to pick everything up on Saturday, but I called the next day (Sunday) and asked if I could pick up a day early on Friday instead. She said yes. Thursday came and I called them just to remind them as I've had experiences elsewhere in the past where things got forgotten and I didn't want to make a 25 min drive and finding out my stuff isn't ready. Lo and behold, when I called to remind her I'll be picking up the following day, she said Saturday so I reminded her I called her last Sunday to change to friday. She said okay, she's not busy so she can work on it. I showed up Friday at around 11. My stuff wasn't done. Her employees were working on it. At first she mentioned pick up was supposed to be Saturday. I repeated I've made phone calls prior to change to Friday and she said yes. Then she said I came too early. Say what? We never confirmed on a pickup time. Then she asked me to wait additional 40 minutes. And she argued with me, giving me an attitude. I let her know she was unprofessional and disorganized and this was before I read all the negative reviews. It frustrated me because she had the whole week to work on them and she didn't. Will not be taking my business here again. I do not recommend her business.
