    Rachel can do anything! She has fixed zippers, hemmed clothes, made costumes and much more for me! I definitely recommend her!

    I am so glad Olga is back in town!…read more Olga is professional, has clear turnaround times, reasonable in pricing, communicative, and does not hesitate to make expert recommendations. It's always a good idea to have a seamstress on speed dial, and I would (and have) recommend Olga to anyone in need of tailoring services!

    I initially had a positive experience and had one garment altered by Olga. The work on that item…read morewas good. However, after going to see her for the last few alterations appointments, I was repeatedly turned away saying she couldn't do a simple hem and waist adjustments to two skirts and a pair of pants. Then during one of the last appointments she kept saying how this isn't her main job and how she is frequently out of town and I'm confused as to why she is saying this stuff to me because she has two rooms dedicated to this business in her apartment and a website and enough yelp reviews where it appears to be a dedicated business. Also, during one of the appointments she flat out asked me, "doesn't the store or designer you bought this from do alterations for free?" And for that particular designer piece...I did confirm that they do free alterations but they do not have a local storefront on the west coast and I'm not flying out to NYC just to do alterations at their flagship store. To me, that question was rude. If there was a store nearby, of course I would take advantage of a free alterations service but again, I'm not flying to NYC to alter a single item. Furthermore, I'm bringing my business to YOU. You would think a business owner would be grateful for business. When I reached out again today to set up an appointment, I was ultimately told she had decided not to accept me as a client because she was not comfortable working on expensive clothing. I appreciate the honesty and would rather someone be upfront than take on work they aren't comfortable with. However, I wish this had been communicated earlier, as it would have saved both of us time after multiple attempts to schedule additional work. If you have higher-end designer clothing, it may be worth asking in advance whether those types of garments are within their preferred scope of work. I think it's interesting though that she does wedding dresses which are significantly more expensive than the items I brought in. P.S. After I pointed out via text message that she has worked on alterations for wedding dresses, which are often significantly more expensive than the designer clothing I brought in, she replied, 'You are right, accept my apologies." 6/26/26 update - After Olga's response below I wanted to add this: Thank you for your response. However, I do want to clarify that the last item I requested included a simple hem and a slight waist adjustment on a pair of pants (they were not expensive by the way, I can show you the receipt). You allowed me to return a few times to your apartment where you do fittings with 3 separate items wasting gas, time, and effort only to turn me away each time. That request contributed to my confusion about the explanation I received. I wish this had been communicated more clearly from the beginning so I could have found another alterations specialist sooner. Again, I want to repeat all of these items are significantly below the price of a wedding dress which you seem to alter quite often based on your reviews so your response stating you don't like to alter expensive items seems....far-fetched.
