The best tailor in Oceanside. Very kind and gracious. She has never failed in any of my tailoring requests. The only tailor I'll use!

Very limited stock, this is more an alternation shop than a surplus supply. Friendly customer…read moreservice, but overall lacking in modern items.

Lately, I've been having terrible service in correctional to picking up uniforms. I went to go grab…read moremy husbands uniforms to be met with rudeness, disrespect, and terrible customer service. This started when I entered the establishment requesting to receive his uniforms. When requesting his uniforms, I was left with blank stares, completely being ignored. Once I was finally acknowledged, they answered me with they are currently trying to find them. What made the situation even more unprofessional was when the women went out the store, chasing other customers who picked their uniforms up just before me, searching either their cars or the uniforms they were currently holding, trying to find his uniforms. She re-entered the establishment empty handed. Thats when I proceeded to ask, "so do you not know where his uniforms are"? That is when she told me, "they're in the back". Once the uniforms were found, she brought them to the front without updating me with anything. So I asked again, "Do you not know where my husband's uniforms are"? She responded with, "Do you not know what your husband's uniforms look like"? This entire situation was very uncalled for, especially with the unprofessional name calling. I am afraid I will no longer be doing business there from now on.

DO NOT USE THIS ESTABLISHMENT! Where do I start with my review (something I seldomly do unless the…read moreservice was amazing or terrible in this instance it was the later!), as I am trying to figure out how this place is still in business and who actually gives them a rating that is more than 2 stars?! I have been going there for a year because they are 5 minutes from my house and I read the reviews which seemed legit, not true! I have tried to be fair and reasonable as I have given them multiple opportunities to address the issues I have shared with them over the last year. 1. I have had multiple articles of clothing ruined by them(picture attached of my white dress shirt which has black spots all over the back and sleeves as one of many examples and actually saw a review today from two weeks ago where another customer raised the same issues with her dress). This is one of many examples where they give me back my clothes with stains that weren't there when I dropped my clothes off which I can 100% assure you of as I have total OCD!! 2. The people they hire to work up front need listening lessons as they don't listen or hear one thing you say to them as I asked them 5 different times to saw buttons on my suite pants and every time I picked them up, you guessed it no buttons, despite me asking and the pants having a tag on them for buttons. This isn't isolated to these dress pants as it has happened to multiple suit jackets and dress shirts as well. When I point this out to the 3 different people that work upfront (guy with long hair, younger girl and girl with interesting make up) I get the exact same puzzled I have no idea what you're talking about aka I don't give a s....t apathetic look from each one of them. I can keep going, but I am sure if you are reading this you get the idea that unless you want your clothes ruined and receive terrible customer service there are plenty of better dry cleaners out there that won't ruin your clothes and at least pretend like they care when you are asking them something related to what they are being paid to do, like their jobs!! Avoid this place like the plague!!!!

I asked to have my uniforms pressed by this weekend and they decided to put it in for the weekend…read moreafter when I told them I needed them urgently for this weekend. I show up and that's when they decided to tell me. Don't come here for reliable service.

Roxie Couture - Final dress product

Wow--where do I even begin with Roxie? She is truly an artist, inside and out, and from the moment…read moreI met her, I felt like family. I brought in my gown and instantly knew I was in good hands. Sadly, I had to step away due to budget constraints, and I genuinely regret not being able to move forward with her--she is absolutely worth every penny. By the time I decided to proceed, she had already taken on two more brides, and it was too late. One of my close friends ended up working with Roxie, and her gown fit like a dream--flawlessly tailored and completely personalized. I have no doubt she would have done the same for me. Roxie's passion for her work shines through in everything she does. She doesn't just alter gowns--she transforms them into something uniquely yours. In another life, I would have had the honor of wearing a gown touched by her magic.

Where do I even begin?…read more Planning a wedding is supposed to be one of the happiest times in your life - but for me, it started out with heartbreak. My original dress came in with the completely wrong cup size, and to make matters worse, the alterations place I went to charged me $1,200 for work that was not only unfinished but done so poorly it broke my spirit. I felt defeated, disappointed, and honestly, just so let down. Eventually, I was able to trade my dress in for a new one - but by then, I only had six weeks until my wedding day. That's when I found Roxie. From the moment I met her, something felt different. I shared my story with her - how I felt like I had been taken advantage of, how much money I'd lost, and how crushed I was - and she cried with me. That moment will forever stay with me. Her empathy, her compassion, her kindness - it was like a warm hug when I needed it most. She told me she sees brides go through these things far too often, and it broke her heart. But what she gave me was hope. Roxie isn't just a seamstress. She is an artist. A healer. A safe place in the middle of what can be a chaotic, overwhelming process. She poured her heart and soul into my dress. Every stitch was filled with care and intention. She was meticulous, talented beyond words, and so deeply invested - not just in making my dress perfect, but in making sure I felt perfect in it. By the end of our time together, Roxie wasn't just someone who altered my dress - she became a part of my wedding story. A bright, beautiful chapter I'll always cherish. She makes you feel like family, like you matter, like you're not just another client - you're a bride she truly cares about. In a world where brides are too often taken advantage of, Roxie is a rare gem. She made me feel whole again. And for that, I will be forever grateful.
