    Roberto Cavalli silk dress fits like a dream
    Emily P.

    I was attending a wedding and planned on wearing a very special vintage silk dress but it no longer zipped up in the back (by a lot) It was simply too small and my back was too wide to close the dress or wear / sit properly. I was hesitant to have this piece altered because it seemed too difficult without compromising the design or unique pattern, but not for Sara! I have no clue how she did it but she took the dress out and it zips up and fits like a dream! Especially in the bust area which I was concerned would gap or fit funny. This dress fits perfectly in all the right places I don't think another girl could fit in this dress but me. She tailored the dress so perfectly to my fit I will recommend Sara to anyone!

    Sara is so sweet, she did a great job tailoring my bridesmaids dress ! We went hiking in Oregon in our dresses for pictures and Sara listened to my speical requests and made the dress perfect !

    Lengthy but worth it! I had my wedding dress custom made for me two years ago. Fast forward a pandemic, a postponed wedding, and some weight loss and it just didn't quite fit the same. Luckily, I had Sara's shop saved in my wedding favorites and took my dress to her when time was finally drawing near. To say I love Sara is an understatement. I have known her for barely anytime at all and she feels like family. She shares her honest opinion and is amazing at her craft. A true magician. FYI she spends no time letting you second guess a possibility! I was having an internal debate about my neckline and she just took a pair of scissors to my dress with me in it and said, "I can fix that!" When she tailored my dress and I tried it on for the first time she said "There! Now you can see those beautiful curves!" She made me feel like a million bucks! She added a belt for some sparkle. I also had a cathedral length veil but later my fiancé decided that he wanted to do the tradition where you flip the veil over the head. I asked Sara if she could do something about this and she said "I can do anything." She found some tulle in her shop to match my veil and sewed some lace that I had left over from my dress and added a blusher like no problem at all. She also sewed suspender buttons onto my finance's pants. When my sister was in town for an event before our wedding she broke a strap on her outfit. I called Sara and asked if she could just swing by to get it fixed before she closed up shop and she did. She referred me to Mission Hills Fabric Care Center to get my dress steamed before the big day. When I got there they said she had called ahead to give them specific instructions. Last but not least... ON MY WEDDING DAY! My wedding coordinator couldn't figure out the bustle on my dress that Sara had made and I obviously couldn't help/see since I was wearing it. So I called Sara, ON HER DAY OFF, and she faced timed with us to help us bustle the dress. If you haven't learned from this review thus far, Sara is the best! She has the kindest and sweetest heart and soul and she really loves what she does. She puts her all into her business and takes great care of her clients. I'm so glad I live so close to her shop. I only wish I would've known about her sooner. I love you Sara! Thank you for making me feel so incredible in my dress!

    I had my wedding dress altered here. I was so excited for our special day but our "real" wedding was postponed until next March. We still had our small Zoom wedding and I got to wear my beautiful wedding dress. That was a bright part of our disappointing situation! I'm very thankful that I had such a beautiful dress that fit my body so well. The alternations were priced really reasonable.

    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.

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!

True to her word, my daughter picked up the dress on Wednesday, three days before prom, and it was absolutely perfect. Not just good, perfect. Charlene is a true gem and a remarkable talent. In one of the most stressful moments of prom season she delivered flawlessly and with such warmth and professionalism.

    The man who owns this place was combative and mean! I've been going here for many years for hemming…read moremy families jeans, always dealing with the woman (wife?) Ive had no issues...until now. Weeks ago I brought in ten pair of jeans for my two teens. The woman told me there was no need for any trying on except one pair each and she'd hem all pairs based on that. I asked her to allow my kids to try each pair on as we've always done because each pant is different in style. She wouldn't allow that and insisted one pair pinned would be ok. I was reluctant but she insisted. Two weeks later we picked up and one kids pants were fine but the other, all five pair were 3 inches too long still and the written tag said "shorten to 28"." We took them back and the man (husband?) was pretty aggressive insinuating it was our fault they'd need to be redone. He took a yard stick and measured my sons inseam and it was 25"...not 28". He said his wife had been getting ready to leave town for a wedding and must've made a mistake on them. No problem, I was kind and gave him no timeline to repair them. I thanked him profusely and left. Today my son and I picked them up and the man met me with "she said it was your sons fault not hers, he asked for that length." What?! Why not just hand them to me and say have a good day?! I paid A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOLLARS for ten pairs of jeans to be hemmed. They were not done correctly by a professional and at pick-up you're going to look at my 14 year old and say "it's your fault!" Who's the professional?! Who's the one tasked with the pin that was placed?! Not the child! The yard stick doesn't lie! I called the man out on his gas lighting accusation at my son standing there and he got loud and began yelling, telling me to just get out. Their prices have DOUBLED but I paid it. I expected that the professional knew what she was doing and when there was a mistake, I expected it corrected. My son should not have been blamed at the counter for the fact that his pants were returned several inches too long, nobody asks for pants to be so long they can't walk. It was a mistake, just fix it! The yard stick showing 25" inseam vs the tags saying "shorten to 28" don't lie. Yelling at women, a child and customers in general isn't a good business practice. I will tell those I know to follow me elsewhere. I believe it was an honest mistake just due to having two different sized kids with two different hemming needs. My other sons were hemmed to a perfect 28" as he asked. I believe she did the same hem to both sets instead of the 28" and 25" that was needed. Her husband was mad and I think she blamed us so he wouldn't yell at her (I don't blame her!) Again, his yard stick and my tape measure along with the written tag she created...don't lie. Even if it is the customer's error, good practice is to just fix it in order to keep a customer who's been coming in for probably 8-10 years now! We will never go back, this man is a bully in my opinion. I am including photos of the fixed pants at the proper 25" inseam and the tag saying "shorten to 28". I'm also including my son's measured inseam showing how long 28" would be, nobody asks for that...it's the point of hemming! The error was not ours and we did not deserve to be told we were trying to scam this man, get free fixes and screamed at being told to just get out. Funny thing is, I had a $20 tip for him in my hand too for a mistake that was theirs! He didn't get it SHAME ON YOU SIR!
