Olga is the best in the business! From start to finished I am very happy with her professionalism , her work is perfection . Thank you so much for fixing my gown for my nephews upcoming wedding. Great fit and fast as well ! I got my gown after just a few days . Olga is a gem ! read more

So wonderful. I have a stuffed animal that is probably 35+ years old from when I was a kid and my son loves him. Unfortunately the stuffing was all worn out. I called around and a few places wouldn't do it. I dropped him off with Olga and he was done in a day. That definitely helped with the timeline because my son didn't really like the idea of Pound Puppy being at the stuffy doctor for very long. She was very reasonable in the price and she communicated very well. You will be very happy with her. read more

Olga responded to my yelp inquiry right away. She altered two items for me. I dropped off at 3pm and they were both ready for me by 7am. She's very professional and her studio in her home was very nice. I'd definitely recommend. read more

I highly recommend, Olga got me in same day and was quick with the alteration and it turned out perfect! I couldn't be happier with the work and professionalism that was provided will definitely be returning read more

Great service! Very fast turn around time! Easy to communicate. Extremely helpful! Highly recommend!

Perfection!! My wedding dress fits me like a glove now. Super high quality work. Highly recommend.

Best alterations woman in San Diego with the best prices. I will probably update this post once professional pictures come in. Olga is amazing. She altered my wedding dress and bridesmaids dress. She works fast and doesn't charge an arm and leg for her services. My bridesmaids dress was too long and I needed it altered to be one inch off of the ground. My wedding dress was too small. It originally had buttons and a zipper on the back, but wouldn't close at all. Olga completely removed them and added a corset. I loved the way it turned out. It looked like my dress originally came with the corset. She completed both dresses in 3 days. She is a fast dedicated worker. My wedding dress cost $200 to be altered. Bridesmaid dress was $75. Everywhere else wanted to charge me more than $500 for both. You can't beat her prices! I strongly recommend her. You won't regret it. read more

Olga was amazing! She hemmed my jeans perfectly! The quality of her work is wonderful and I would use her services again in a heartbeat.

I needed a suit altered to fit after weight gain. I am VERY PLEASED with the quality of the alteration! Olga was very prompt getting back to me. I arrived later that day with 2 suits for possible alteration. Olga picked the suit which would look better on me after the alterations. She was very knowledgeable and explained how one suit fit me, and one really didn't fit my frame. She really knows what she is doing! Since I had a half hour drive to get to her and she had the time she performed the alterations while I waited, to save me the extra trip out to her place. This was very nice of her to help me in this way. The service was prompt, very fairly priced and very fast! I will recommend her highly to my friends. read more

Highly recommend Olga's alteration services. I have gotten a bridesmaid dress altered by her, and my husband got a suit hemmed by her. The prices are reasonable and turnaround time is very quick. She is accommodating with the dates you need the items by and usually very prompt with her responses. I would definitely get items altered by her in the future when the occasion arises. read more

Add the word "wedding" to anything and all of a sudden you're looking at a 400% markup. When looking for someone to do alterations on my wedding dress, I was definitely feeling discouraged. I bought my dress as a sample, but it fit perfectly outside of needing a hem and a bustle. When I called the shop recommended to me by the dress shop, they quoted me $850. Yikes! A few people in a San Diego wedding facebook group recommended Olga so I messaged her. Located in a gated community in Mission Valley, she operates out of her home garage that has been transformed into the ultimate seamstress station. She did a great job on my dress and for a quarter of the cost! I've taken a few other items to her as well and everything has come out perfectly. I have to say some of the items have been a bit complicated with their layers, but there's no challenge Olga can't take on. read more

Olga's Alterations is the best! I used her for altering my wedding dress that I had gotten from The Dress Theory. She was quick to return my texts regarding cost, drop off, and time frame for pick up. Everything was quick and easy. I was drawn to her by all the other amazing reviews and experienced the same. Her pricing was very fair and her work was great. She's very nice too! Highly recommend! read more

Olga is fabulous! I feel so fortunate to have found her. Recently, she took an ancient dressy jacket that had stretched in the shoulders and adjusted it so that I could wear it to a wedding. She is a true professional -- and her equipment is too! I am hard to fit and now I can take things to Olga that I would have left in a store, and she will make them work for me. Thank you, Olga!! You are a wonder! Bev M read more

I wish I could leave a better review. I brought my dress here and asked for the front and back to be made lower, as well as a simple hem. I was told there was nothing that could be done and even if it was possible, it wouldn't look good. The suggestion given to me was to call the bridal shop where I purchased the dress and try to exchange it for a different dress. I left in shock and called the bridal shop in disbelief and the owner told me that she would be happy to exchange the dress but that this advice was not right and that she knew for a fact that other brides who had purchased the same dress had done what I was looking to do and she advised me to go elsewhere. I took my dress to a different shop (Margaret's Couture Cleaners in Convoy) and they were able to do everything I wanted without issue and I am so happy with how my dress turned out! read more

I truly cannot recommend Olga and her team enough for bridal alterations! I was incredibly stressed when I realized my wedding dress fit too tight and began frantically searching for a local alterations businesses. So thankful I found Olga! Not only does she have an incredible talent, she is also so kind and immediately made me feel at ease when I was so worried about my dress. I ended up having to take the dress out a little and adjust the bra straps and now it fits perfectly! Olga, thank you so very much for your beautiful work and your expertise. You made a stressful situation a lot less stressful and made me love my dress again! Thank you for playing an instrumental part in making my wedding day special, we are 1 week out now and I am so excited to wear my dress!! read more

We had my daughters bustle created for her wedding dress. It came undone as soon she started her first dance

Thank you for the amazing service! It was long time I haven't had a service bc of Covid, but I am back and always good and of course I will be back. read more

Inquired about hemming an 89 dollar dress. Yes it's technically a wedding dress, but the dress itself is a lulus white dress that is less than 100 dollars. She gave me a quote of 300-750.. now I understand alteration is a skill set and we pay for quality. But I asked if this is still the going rate for this simple white dress that isn't even labeled as a "wedding dress".. instead of responding and explaining, she ignored me. If you don't want to take the job, it'd be nice to get a response vs just leaving me on "read". UPDATE to owners response below: I understand that you pay for the service, not the dress. But I also got quotes from other places that were not close to $350. Obviously, the actual dress has somewhat to deal with pricing.. if it's a huge dress that's multilayered etc.. it is going to cost more. Im 100% certain if the dress wasnt white, youd quote me less lol. . My main issue was you ignored me and only responded now because I posted a review of our interaction. This was also literally just a hemming. Pretty much seems like you're just upcharging due to me saying "wedding" vs the actual work and dress. Also not even taking the time to explain and answer questions until a review is posted read more

Olga is wonderful. Her alterations are perfectly done. She only suggests what is needed and works. Her service is quickly done! I highly recommend her, especially for wedding alterations! I was Mother of the groom and looked awesome for Bridal Shower, Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding! And I am older! read more

This is the second time I've used Olga for alterations. The first time was for my wedding dress, and now for a bridesmaid dress. I have been SO pleased with her work both times! The bridesmaid dress (terracotta/rust color in pics) received so many compliments. I am pregnant and had the dress altered when I was about 4.5 months along. I was 5 months pregnant at the wedding and the dress fit perfectly and so very comfortable. Thank you Olga for helping me feel comfortable and confident at this wedding! read more

Amazing quality! Worked on my wedding dress and it fit perfectly. The sleeves were way too big so needed a quick turn around and Olga had it back to me in less than a week! She knows exactly what she's doing! Highly recommend! read more

Olga provided me with excellent service of a brides maid dress I needed a few quick fixes on! She was straight to the point and understood my needs to feel amazing in my dress! She was so quick with getting the job completed and my service will continue to stay with her of any other needs I may have! Thank you so much Olga! 10 stars if I could! read more

Olga was amazing. My wedding dress is too tight and although she couldn't let it out due to the material, she added a new hook and a bustle for me. My sisters dress was also needed to be altered. Her hook in the back was too short and too tight. Olga took the extra length off the bottom and added length to ensure we could wrap the back and hook it. And now she can breathe and dance !! Yay !! The quality and communication Olga provided was great and I recommend her highly !! read more

Long story, but I found myself without a wedding dress 15 days before my wedding after the first one I bought fell through. I ended up purchasing a new one off the floor at a bridal salon (Prevue Bridal in La Mesa) and called Olga's praying that she could help me get it altered in time. Many other alterations places turned me away. Some even laughed lol After I reached out to Olga though she saw me the very next day and I was back for a final fitting the very next week (small fee for the rush)! I even had extra time to get it to the cleaners for a final press before the big day. I cant thank Olga enough! Her work was absolutely amazing and she is a gem to work with. She works out of her home but when you step foot in her workspace it feels like a private professional studio :) read more

Excellent quality from a lovely woman! Olga gets the job done quickly and perfectly. I highly recommend her.

Bought a gown online but it needed alterations specifically to change the back zipper to corset type since it was a smaller size. Olga was so quick to respond and she knew what to do right away. Straightforward and reasonable price. I went to two other places beforehand but I didn't feel comfortable at all. The gown looks great and I was able to pick it up in 2 weeks! So glad I found her!!! Thanks, Olga! :) read more

Cannot recommend Olga enough. I found out I was pregnant after purchasing a bridesmaid dress and was showing at the time of the wedding. Olga was able to add a corset back and the dress fit perfectly. I received SO many compliments and everyone was surprised it had been altered to fit vs. purchased that way! Olga is great and I cannot recommend her services enough. read more

I needed my dress taken in because it was too big, Olga was so sweet and measured what she needed then explained what she was going to do to the dress. When it came to pricing if I'm honest I've never been to a tailor before so I can't attest to other pricings but in my opinion for the stellar work she did the price was amazing, I only payed 100 for the alterations and got my dress back in a week read more

This review is long over due... Backstory I had a company holiday party coming up quickly, but for some reason my dress delivery was delayed. I purchased a draped dress from Europe and had no clue if it would fit, but it looked like the perfect style to cover up my post pregnancy body, while still being elegant. The good news is that when it arrived, it was too big. The bottom portion slide too far down my hips when it's suppose to sit on my waistline. I search all over San Diego for someone who could alter it with a quick turnaround and without being over charged. Olga's Alterations was available. The process was quick and efficient. She let me know that because of the way the dress was made, she had to take a different approach to taking in the waist. She is VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE and her work is top-notch! She had the dress ready for me days before my party and I couldn't thank her enough. Every time someone complimented me at the party, I gave thanks to Olga in my head, ha! Facility She operates out of her home (garage) in a gated HOA of Serra Mesa/Mission Valley area. There is a private changing area as well. Very clean and well maintained! Parking There is guest parking available on her street, a few houses over. read more

After realizing I needed a last-minute alteration, I reached out to Olga ASAP. Almost immediately, I heard back and we started talking about my potential needs for a bridesmaids dress. I sent pictures, and Olga was honest in what could be done and offered some great solutions - she even offered me a same-day appointment for drop off and to have the alterations done within a few days by my deadline. While I didn't end up using Olga's services this time around due to finding an option closer to my home, I will be back when I have less of a time crunch as I can tell Olga puts care into what she does and I know the end result would have been amazing. Thank you, Olga, for your quick communication and helping me with all the questions I had! read more
