    Worn out stuffing (before)
    Gabe H.

    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.

    Bridesmaid dress alteration. My dress was too long. She made it shorter. Before picture on left, after picture on right.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Olga works with your schedule and is very responsive. I highly recommend her for any wedding gowns, brides maid dresses, groom alterations, and more. She did a wonderful job adding a backing to my bridesmaids dress that came in too small.

    See all

    The sleeves were way too big so needed a quick turn around and Olga had it back to me in less than a week!

    I was referred to Primo Alterations by a friend who had her wedding dress altered here a few years…read moreago. Just picked up two formal dresses that needed alterations and they now both fit like a glove! One needed to be let out and the other needed the straps shortened. Lua altered both dresses and is sweet, personable, and talented. She finished both dresses well before their expected date. Carolina and Joseph, the owners are friendly and you can tell why their business has been around for awhile. I had my wedding dress consultation with Isis. She was very sweet, you can tell she has an eye for detail. I can't wait to come back in August for my wedding dress alterations. Will provide an update then! The seamstresses are upfront about their prices during your consultation, so there aren't any surprises. Their prices are well worth the quality of work they do.

The attention to detail was beyond anything I could have imagined, and they truly made my dress fit like a dream. Every single person on their staff was so kind, welcoming, and professional throughout the entire process. They made me feel comfortable and confident every time I came in, which meant so much during such a special (and sometimes stressful!) time. Their work is truly worth every penny. If you're looking for someone you can trust with something as important as your wedding dress, this is the place. 5 stars all the way!

I paid $10 to hem my pants and another $10 to fix the buttons on a dress. She asked if we could come back in a week. I pre-paid and got a receipt. When I came back a week and two days later and my clothes were not hanging up with the other clothes and the older couple could not find my clothes. I needed the items for a trip I was leaving for in 2 days. After about 20-30 minutes of searching my items were found in a plastic grocery bag under other items in a box. They seem a bit disorganized and overwhelmed. I feel bad because they were very kind and appear to do good work with repeat customers. Prices seem fair. I will mostly go elsewhere the next time I need alteration.

    I'm blown away, this place will be my go to for any and all tailoring needs! Being 5'3, it's rare…read morethat pants ever fit me length wise, and almost always are too long. I decided to get one pair tailored... and it was life changing. For $20, the pants actually looked like they fit me perfectly right off the rack. You truly could never tell that the bottoms were cut off and hemmed. I went back with three more pairs of pants and again, I'm amazed. In a two day turnaround, they gave me pants that fit me like a glove and the craftsmanship is incredible, they really pay attention to detail and take good care of the clothes. They have very affordable pricing and are amazing at what they do! 10/10 recommend you come here for anything you need tailored. I'll definitely be back!
