    I had several pairs of jeans altered and hemmed keeping the original bottoms on some. They did fantastic work.

    Ask the Community - Ritz Tailor & Alterations

    I have some pants that need to be let out a little. Can that be done today?

    Not sure but give them a call.

    How much would it be to alter the length of sleeves in a suit jacket?

    $30 - $40 The price ranges due to the difference in style (buttons, stitching, etc.).

    Is there an email address I can try and get a hold of this business at? I tried calling but line is down/busy?

    I called the number posted in the window and was able to speak to the staff: 510-350-6617

    Is it walk-in only, or do they take appointments/reservations?

    Both! I usually call ahead so they know I'm coming. Sometimes you might just have to wait if you do walk in. It's a pretty small store.

    From start to finish, I tried on the dress, Yim measured it and asked me to come back in about a week.

    A very reliable tailor near Berkeley, and the only one I'll be going to until I move!…read more I got my dresses hemmed and it was done perfectly. The stitching was on point! It looked as if that's exactly how the dress came in. At the appointment, the owner takes the time to understand how it's supposed look, and how you want it to fit. After the appointment, it was very easy to communicate with the owner. He responded promptly and was transparent. I had to schedule a last minute hemming request and it was done on time! If you're in a pickle, just call and see if he can do it. He will not schedule an appointment if he knows he cannot get it done on time, which I appreciate for being direct. I'll definitely come back but this time without any last minute requests!

He's very kind, understanding, and is a master of the craft. Below is a recent before and after of a vintage thobe I thrifted that needed some love. It was originally way too large for me and I wanted to convert to short sleeves & lose the 70s shoulder poof without removing any of the handmade cross stitch embroidery. The after picture speaks for itself. The thobe fits perfect with all the right details I wanted Thank you as always for the excellent work!

    Disaster. Waited 4 weeks for an appointment at this place. Told the tailor exactly what we needed…read moreover the phone - a dress needed to be tailored to fit. Gave her the brand, size, etc. she quoted us $160. Steep, but reasonable given the quality of the dress. She took measurements. After the fitting, she told us the cost would be $400. $400 to tailor a dress?!? That's more than most dresses cost. Why? She said, "wedding dresses cost more." We explained that it wasn't a wedding dress (I'm already married!). But she wouldn't change the price. It felt strange and uncomfortable and kind of awful to be called a liar. Walked out and found another tailor who did an epic job for $120. Went to the party (NOT A WEDDING) and felt fabulous. Skip this place. p.s. Apparently this owner gaslights customers. To clarify: 1. I definitely called in advance, 2. I was definitely overcharged, 3. It was definitely Lily from Irena's studio. Not confused, and not a mistake. Avoid avoid avoid.

During our first meeting, Lily was thorough, clear, and explained each recommendation and steps of the alteration process. I loved how for each visit, Lily took a step by step approach to alter my dress so that she could confirm that I was happy before moving forward to other aspects. I also appreciated that if I had a recommendation or question, Lily really listened and did not make me feel rushed during my appointment. I received so many compliments on my dress during the wedding and my photos came out so good as well. I'm so grateful for Lilys expertise and would highly recommend her!

When I got my dress, it was entirely too small and I was in full panic mode. Ms. Louise was upfront about what she could and couldn't do, which I really appreciated. She ended up opening the dress and adding fabric to the side panels so it fit my hips comfortably--and somehow made it even more beautiful than before! She did all of this within about a month while also working on my cousin's (the bride's) dress. On top of that, she altered a second dress for my reception at the last minute and had it ready in less than a week. I was able to pick everything up just in time before my flight the day after Christmas. Truly a lifesaver! Ms. Louise is the best--so talented, professional, and reliable. I'm beyond grateful and can't thank her enough! Highly recommend!

Like most brides, I lost weight due to stress throughout all the fittings. She graciously resized the dress each time, even adding a band to help tighten it just in case! I also requested the sleeves be layered to be a certain length, and she did it! She was patient during the entire process and very knowledgeable, which made everything easier. She was ready and willing to answer countless questions. The dress was comfortable and so well fitting to my body all day! I absolutely loved it! Additionally, she was able to make a pocket square out of my dress for my husband to wear! Couldn't recommend her enough!!
