Myrna is friendly and sweet and very talented! I had tried to order a wedding dress online and the company neglected to finish my dress in time so I cancelled the order and luckily found a dress about a month before my wedding. However, it needed numerous alterations, plus I was almost 5 months pregnant and my belly was changing slightly week by week! Myrna was willing to fit me in multiple times in the few weeks before my wedding so we could make sure the dress was a perfect fit, and it was! Prices were comparable to another tailor I looked at in Thousand Oaks. It wasn't cheap, but it was well worth it, especially to work with someone as kind and helpful as Myrna.

A couple pics of my dress that Myrna literally had to alter a few sizes smaller.

I'm so grateful for Myrna she has not only helped me with a sequins dress that I had to get altered for my sisters wedding as her maid of honor but for my wedding dress that I wore this last Sunday Myrna is sweet,talented and fast! She gets right to the point and doesn't waste any time. She is understanding and very reasonable and gave me the best price both times and even when she had to alter my wedding dress 3 times since I kept losing weight lol. Thank you Myrna! My dress was awesome and I will always go to you and recommend you to everyone!!! Actually will be seeing you soon cause I'll be in another wedding in October

Myrna altered my wedding dress, and did a fantastic job. My dress was lace, and was very detailed on the bottom. She kept every detail as made the dress look untouched! Myrna is truly amazing, and she really takes pride in her work. She also truly cares about her customers. She's very attentive and easy to work with. I lost so much weight right before the wedding, the day i was supposed to pick up my dress and take it home i couldn't because it fit me big AGAIN, and it wasn't planned out To lose weight, it just happened, so she made the last minute alterations to make the dress fit me like a glove. Myrna is the best!

Thank you to Merna for making my dress feel just perfect!

Thank you Myrna! She adjust my arm lengths and tightness, waist and length... it felt just right! Tight enough to show off the dress but not too tight that I couldn't lift my arms and party on my wedding day! Honest and upfront and easy to work with!

Tailored wedding dress by Myrna

Myrna was lovely to work with and I felt safe being measured during this pandemic, as we both wore a mask and were the only customers allowed inside during my fitting appointments. She tailored my wedding dress to fit me perfectly and sewed in my dress straps to be extra secure. She showed my mom the bustle attachment buttons at the back, and we had no issues at all on my wedding day. Thank you so much Myrna! I'll be coming back for future fittings! You are lovely.

Here's some photos of the dress ! It was a tank style dress and Myrna turned it into this beautiful vintage lace sleeve dress !

The day before my wedding I was so caught up with setting up and last minute details that I actually forgot to pick-up my dress.

Having read the other review on Yelp, I thought this would be a perfect place to take my wedding…read moredress for alterations. I called to make an appointment and the lady I talked with on the phone said "If you need to change, just call us the day before." I called the day before because my bustier still hadn't arrived, and she rescheduled me for two weeks later. She took my phone number and said that if something opened up the following week, she'd give me a call, but otherwise, "just show up in two weeks." This morning was that two week mark. I packed up my dress, shoes, everything and went to the alterations place. The sign on the door said "closed saturday through tuesday. for pick up please call [#]." Okay. So I called the number. Maybe she was just coming in by appointment. The woman I spoke to said, "no, I've never heard of you, you don't have an appointment." Apparently this was a different woman than the one I had talked to (it seemed like a one-person kind of place, but what do I know? I'd just talked to them on the phone). I explained that I had made an appointment and she said "well you're not in the book." I said okay, so what do we do? She said, acting really put out, "well, what do you need done to the dress? do you just need it hemmed or what?" I started trying to explain to her, but then she acted like it was all a big deal, [also, aren't they supposed to SEE you with the dress on and THEY assess what needs to be done? I'm not a fashion designer!] so I broke off and told her, "I think I'll just go elsewhere; thanks for wasting my last three weeks." I'm not taking a wedding dress to someone who couldn't be bothered to say "sorry about the mix-up, let's reschedule you" instead of acting like I am some kind of pain in her butt for showing up to an appointment I had scheduled. I am hesitant to say anything negative during this wedding planning process because they always call you a bridezilla, but I do not want anyone to deal with this utter waste of time.

Elizabeth is wonderful! Not only is she a great seamstress, but a talented designer as…read morewell--dresses, swimsuits, and much more are for sale in her shop. I've had her alter a bride's maid dress and a pair of pants, and she did a perfect job on both. She is friendly and helpful, and her rates are reasonable. Elizabeth spoke to my sewing class one night at Ventura College, and she was very inspiring. She taught herself to sew at the age of 12, and has had a very interesting life since then (she grew up in South America). Note: The door facing Loma Vista is usually locked, so use the entrance that faces the parking lot in between the 99 cent store and the CMH parking structure.
