Olga provides phenomenal tailoring service in a timely manner at affordable rates! I first came to Olga to adjust the length and fit of a gown that I was going to wear to a friend's wedding. I was impressed with her work, so I when it came time to get my wedding dress altered, I returned to Olga. She helped adjust the fit, length, and added a bustle. Her work was finished when promised and with plenty of time (2 months) before my wedding! She charged a very fair price, and I was so pleased with her work. My dress fit perfectly. Highly recommend Olga for tailoring and alterations! read more

This is a non-bridal related review. As a petite woman that cares about the fit of her clothes, I tailor about 80% of my closet so they look like they're "made for me". It's an additional investment that is completely worth it to me. After moving to Walnut Creek 5 years ago I had to cycle through a series of tailors b/c they moved their businesses or sold them. On came another search for a good tailor whom I could trust with my clothes. This is where Olga comes in. She not only has a great personality but she's a talented tailor. As someone who is experienced with tailoring normally I have an idea of how I'd like the clothes to look on me. Olga provides great recommendations and options for an item and we have a discussion on the solution. She's cropped t-shirts for me, keeps original hems on denim, shortened top and jacket sleeves, taken in waists and slimmed down fits for me. When I bought my wedding photoshoot cheongsam that was slightly too small in the waist for me, she was able to find a solution that would allow for the waist to be taken out so it could fit (which I wasn't expecting a solution for this other than ordering a new dress 1 size up). I'm a regular customer of Olga's and will continue to be as long as I don't move and she's not retired. :) There was a review of a woman who complained that OIga was judgmental of her weight. I've personally witnessed Olga on multiple occasions work with customers of ALL SIZES and she was nothing but professional and kind to them. In fact she's made comments to me personally that were nothing but body positive. read more

Olga is very skilled in her craft. She's done alterations on several ball gowns for me, and my wedding dress. I know the quality is consistent when working with her. read more

Olga is amazing. She altered the MOB my dress and she did a fantastic job. She is very patient and particular. My dress need boobs adjustment and trim the length. My dress was ready 2 weeks before the wedding and fits perfect. My husband suit needed alterations on sleeves and pants need hemming. We brought to her 2 weeks before the wedding and she finished it in a week. The suits fits him perfect too. Her price is very reasonable too- than Walnut Creek where my son brought his suit. ($165) I definitely would come back to her for more alterations. read more

I had a lovely experience with the alterations, as the lady was very sweet and pleasant! HOWEVER, it was a bit pricier than I expected--my bridesmaid dress hemmed with a clip came to $126.50, which was about 50% more than what some of the other bridesmaids paid. Based on the price point, it would have been nice to have the garment steamed upon pick-up. The quality of the work was great, but I might look for a more budget-friendly option next time. Overall, I appreciate the effort put into the dress! read more

Been here twice First time great experience, very good work Second time not as great. She was pretty expensive for what she did One of the pants was shorter too read more

I discovered Olga's tailoring shop right after Covid. And have been coming since than. Olga is a great professional with a good taste. She tailored most of my dresses, so now they look like custom made apparels. Her creative eye saved several of my ripped dresses from garbage. Her prices are average for the area. read more

Olga is so amazing to work with! I took in my first dress and she recommended I get a second dress since she could tell I didn't like how it looked on me but was too scared. I brought in a second dress and she altered it for me in under a month which was incredible since the dress needed to be made larger. Highly recommend for any alteration needs! Olga also reached out over the phone and communicated about fittings and was able to be so helpful. read more

I don't typically write reviews, but this was an unusally frustrating experience. I took in 2 pair of jeans to be hemmed and gave her a specific in-seam measurement. I measured them myself to allow a little extra length for shrinkage after washing. She told me it would take 2 weeks, and quoted a very high price. I said ok, thinking if you want good service, you will need to pay for it, and I don't buy clothes that often at all. I went back on the agreed upon day to get my jeans and they weren't done. She told me to return that afternoon after she gave me a call. I wasn't happy about a second trip, but what can you do? She called me a little over an hour latter and told me they were ready. I went back to get them only to discover she took an extra 1/2 inch off the length and neither pressed nor hung them on a hanger (they were simply placed in bag). Honestly, I am quite small and need to hem all of my pants and this has never happened to me before. My pants have always been returned in "wearable" condition. Now I have jeans without the extra length I wanted and I have to press them myself before I can wear them. She had clearly rushed through the job without thinking about customer service. Needless to say she charged way too much for the service I received, and I won't be going back. read more

The best, the best !! I love this place for the owner, she is very good, does great work, very easy to work with and consult with, about clothing changes etc .. thank you read more

Olga does amazing work! I brought in a Maggie Sottero wedding dress with 3 layers of lining, 6 layers of tulle and a 4ft long train. Olga patiently hemmed (or trimmed) all the layers and removed nearly all of the train. She also adjusted the straps and back panels (which had a lot of beading to work around). I had so much trust in the process and every time I came in for a fitting Olga and I had the best time (some laughter, some dancing). It was such a positive experience, especially when the bridal industry is so busy and many stores and tailors are tired (and grumpy). Olga was speedy and would call me back for fittings quickly. She always had my wedding date in mind and was working backwards. I couldn't recommend Olga more! PS Olga has a fantastic outlook on life, love and the party! read more

Olga is the best! I have been going to her for several years. All her work is very professional. Bringing in items for updates or alterations she will honestly tell you her opinion if it's worth doing or not. Olga altered a wedding dress for a friend that was needed in a short amount of time, and altered the mother of the bride dress. Beautiful work and reasonably priced. Lastly, Olga is a thoughtful and very, very nice person. Thank you, Olga! read more

She was able to accommodate a rush request on a bridesmaid dress and did fantastic. She's very nice and honest, would go back and recommend

Great service! Olga is amazing and did a great job on my Wedding dress. Happy to recommend her read more

Olga is an excellent tailor and an amazing fashion cheerleader! I needed major altering for a dress for an event coming up in a week. I wasn't sure if the dress would be ready in time or even look good on me because it was way too big, but Olga assured me that it can be done within a week and it's gonna look good. She was very thorough with her measuring and while doing so she also gave me some good fashion advice! The dress turned out amazing and I got so many compliments at the event!! It was my first time with her but now she's one of my favorite local business that I'd definitely go back to. read more

I've been coming to Olga several times now. Always been happy with the quality of service.

I have sought Olga's expertise several times. During my most recent visit I asked Olga to alter my pants and dress shirt and she did an amazing job. She is a true professional and is not afraid to give you her opinion which is very helpful when you are searching for the perfect look. She is a joy to be around, check her out if you have any alteration needs! read more

Olga's is my go to place to get clothing repaired, hemmed, adjusted. She has very fair prices and goes the extra mile with great attention to detail. I highly recommend this local business. read more

Olga saved me! One month before my best friend's wedding I received my bridesmaid dress and it was completely ill fitted. Olga had to basically reconstruct the dress to make it fit and she did an amazing job! She did it quickly and with so much attention to detail, it was perfect. Highly recommend Olga! read more

I had an absolutely terrible experience here. I have a dress that I purchased a few years ago that I wanted to wear for an event. I've gained a bit of weight so although the dress fits, the zipper buckles a bit in the back. I think we can all agree, not a great look. I'm not delusional about my size and just wanted to see if there was an option for wiggle room so the zipper wouldn't buckle. I saw all the great reviews for this place so I went in. She was helping another person so I patiently waited. She was helpful and kind to this person, willing to try different scenarios with her. When that person went to put on another garment, she looked at me and said "what do you need". I started to reply my scenario listed above and she said "SIZE" and grabbed my dress. Then she said "I can tell just by looking at you this isn't your size. There's nothing I can do. You'll have to wait until you lose weight." And that was it. I walked out of there with my tail between my legs. She didn't even have me put it on... All I can deduct from this is that she doesn't like to work with bigger clients. I wear a 14 right now and the dress is a large fitting 12. I left and went to a different seamstress who offered options in Walnut Creek. read more

Olga did a wonderful job. I brought in a jumpsuit that I needed altered for my wedding and it turned out perfectly. The whole process was easy and quick. I will definitely come back for anything else I need altered in the future. Thank you Olga! read more

Wonderful work! I had a two layer long dress for my son's wedding. I needed them hemmed quickly for the wedding. Olgas suggested a different type of shoe so it wouldn't catch on the material and/or tear or trip me up. It was great advice. She did an impeccable job, completed as promised and was a great price for the work. I would use her again and recommend her work to anyone. read more

I was in a bind and needed to have a dress hemmed before I left to Minnesota for a friend's wedding in 2 days. I called and Olga not only was able to make the necessary alterations in such a short amount of time but was so friendly and put me at ease as I was a little stressed out. The pricing was very reasonable given how short notice it was and the dress was perfect! I'm so grateful and recommend to anyone in need of alterations. read more

Definitely will be returning here. I called for a bridesmaid dress alteration needed ASAP & she was so great. Dress was done perfectly and on time. read more

I had a great experience with Olga! I brought in my wedding dress a few months before our date. I was also in progress of losing weight. Olga was so helpful in so many ways. When I came to pick up my dress for the final day she told me no. lol She had to take it in even more because i lost more weight. Jokingly told me not to lose anymore before the wedding. I had so much fun every time I would come in for a fitting. We had to take off few inches of the length, bring it in a bit on the sides and add cups to the inside of my dress. She was helpful in making decisions and showing me different options and possibilities. She would meet with me even on her closed days. I would drive about 45 mins each way just to come here. Olga was also very welcoming to my friends, family and my one year old son. Two of out of my three bridesmaids also went to Olga. She worked with them pretty quickly and the dresses fit them so well! I was recommended Olga by a friend and I will recommend her to others, always. It was so much fun working with Olga and I am thankful for her hard work. read more

Olga did a great job with my wedding dress. I brought it to her about 2 months out from the wedding, went back for a fitting after 1.5 weeks, and picked up the finished dress about a month before the wedding. She is sweet and knows what she's doing. When she pinned the hem of the dress, she had be walk around and make sure it was at a good length, adjusting and re-pinning all around when needed. We left a bit of a train, but not so much that I would have to deal with a bustle. The only reason I'm deducting a star is the final cost was double what she gave me as an estimate when I dropped the dress off.. She did a perfect job, but I just didn't expect the cost at the end. I would still consider bringing other things to tailor/hem in the future if needed. read more

Olga is a fantastic woman to work with! She came to the rescue when I needed my bridesmaid dress altered for a wedding in less than 2 weeks and 4 of those days I would be out of town. Due to my strenuous commute that many of use Bay Arenas experience, I would be running late for a fitting. I would call to let her know about my much later ETA and she would calmly tell me to drive safe and that she will see me when I get there. How awesome! Like OMG she she totally got me looking super fly and comfortable in my dress with only two fittings. She is reasonably priced and such a sweet person to work with. Not to mention she is quick to and spot on. Just use her talent and it will be worth it. read more

I don't even know where to begin. I purchased a wedding dress off of eBay and it was made in China. When I received it, I liked the dress but it basically made me look like I had no shape whatsoever. I took it in to let Olga have a look at it and all I can say is she is a miracle worker. She took my dress and totally transformed it and it fit me like a glove!!! It also had a fluffy train that I knew I would not be able to maneuver around in after the ceremony so I asked if she could make it detachable somehow for me. And of course..... she did. All we had to do was pull one thread after the ceremony and the bulky train was gone!!!! I absolutely love the work that Olga did and also just love her. She was so personable and funny and made me feel so much better. I know I must have nearly driven her crazy because I would go in for a fitting and it was too big, then I would go again and it was too small. Whatever the situation, she would immediately say... I can fix it.... and she did. I will never go to anyone else for alterations. She is AMAZING!!!!!!! read more

Olga is an angel. I originally took my dress to Flares in Walnut Creek, I was very unhappy with the fit of my dress. First it was too loose, then she took it in and then it was too tight, and then she took out a few stitches and it was still awkward. I was getting a bit frustrated with the back and forth and was running with a deadline, so I just paid and knew I was taking the dress elsewhere I found Olga's shop off of Yelp and based off the reviews I called her to describe my problem and she told me to bring it to her right away. I went in the next day. I put it on, she watched me walk in it, and advised that we should hem it because it was dragging too much. She was honest about what she was going to do and I just trusted her expertise. She got it done within a few days. Super professional. You really can't beat experience and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! I also brought a friends bridesmaids dress to her and will continue to bring her more items I need tailored. Thank you, Olga! read more

She's the absolute best! I've been taking my items there for many years now and she does fantastic work! She's very honest too.

Olga did a great job at hemming my bridesmaid dress about 10 days in advance. I didnt expect it to be nearly $100, though! Thats the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of five. read more
