I've been going to this tailor for years. The quality always exceeds my expectations. She's worked on several items made from tough fabrics that I was hesitant to let anyone else touch. and she did an amazing job every time. 5/5 highly recommend! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried this dry cleaner but it did not work out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had to return twice to finally receive my clothing which weren't completely altered. I didn't even mention it I just wanted to walk out. Not worth what I paid. read more

My now husband found this place on Yelp last year when I needed an evening gown altered for a wedding. She is an amazing tailor and very affordable price. She did one evening gown for me last year for a wedding and a wedding dress for me this year. She trimmed both length of the dresses in the front and shorten straps on both dresses. I've been telling all my friends and family who needs alterations to go to her. read more

I came to get my dress altered and she said it will be ready within 7 days. We agreed on date and time. When I came back for pick up on the day of, the store was closed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called and texted multiple times and she finally showed up 30 mins later. There was also 4 customers waiting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I came in she didn't know where my dress was. So I had to go through to find my dress myself. When I found it, it was in the same state that I had dropped it off in. Meaning that she never started on the dress at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Three other customers came in after me and she started helping them first even though I told her I needed it today.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She said she was going to fit it in an hour, but as I was waiting for the dress, she barely started it and was helping everyone else. I had to leave for an important reason because I wasn't meant to have stayed there for longer than 5-10 minutes. I'm never going back and I do not recommend anyone needing it in a timely fashion. I decided to take my business elsewhere. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I sent a cost estimate inquiry. No reply from this business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe she's a quality tailor but I'll never know. I found another business for my tailoring needs. read more

Skylar does good work . She altered my dad suit around the shoulders. She also did my qipao and a cocktail dress. She is fast, efficient, affordable and is reliable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was my savior on last minute alterations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely use again. read more

Did a great job. Only reason it's not a 5 star because of the wait time. But I would def go with her again.

Good value to shorten a linen long sleeve shirt. I will be back for future tailoring needs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lady was also friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Skyler is such an amazing tailor and her prices are much much more affordable than others that I have found. I need a lot of tailoring done since I'm short, and I can always count on her to do a beautiful job and not worry that my clothes would be ruined somehow. She speaks Chinese, Korean and English. Also, she's super friendly! Highly recommended!! :) Pro tip: drive through the tiny driveway next to her shop and park in the back! read more

Wow. Jane is an amazing tailor! She shortened a dress into a blouse for me and it came out perfectly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She has limited English, but make sure you chat with her in-person and provide image references or bring in a clothing example.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I showed her the hem shape for a similar blouse to match and she did an exceptional job. Jane has an eye for detail and her work is professional at such an affordable price. I prefer her work over other tailors in Pasadena. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Try her out and be patient with communication.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She's awesome! :) read more

This is the best tailor's shop in San Gabriel. the manager Jane is very nice and professional. the price here is reasonable and affordable. i highly recommend this business. thank you Jane. read more

Great Taylor! Because of the size of the my pants I am a regular customer Jane is so professional read more

I was searching for someone to alter my wedding dress for a few weeks but got caught up with holiday stuff so put it off until the new year. It was something that was in the back of my mind all the time until I found Skylar's alteration. From the first time I called to discuss what I needed to him altering my second wedding dress and my fiancés suit. Phoung is truly a talented individual who takes pride in his work. His prices are very fair and I will definitely be coming back. I am so overjoyed with my dresses. Thank you so much for everything and for taking your time with our clothes! read more

My family has brought our clothes to this shop for many years. The previous owner had recently retired and the new owner is Phong Nguyen. I had recently taken in my daughter's prom dress to Skylar's to get it altered. I had also brought in a traditional Chinese dress to shorten the sleeves and to take down the waist. I picked up my items a week later and we are very happy with his alterations. The reason why we have been coming to this shop for years is because of very reasonable prices and the good service. The people at the shop are always friendly and we are always greeted with a smile. This little shop is tucked away in a row of shops on the east side of Del Mar and may be hard to find for folks that are not familiar with the area. It shares an office space with a gift shop. The storefront is across the street from Hing Wa Lee Jewelers and there is plenty of parking at the adjacent Hawaii Supermarket. If you are looking for alterations at a reasonable price, this is the place to go. read more

This has been my go to place for alterations. First brought my dress in October 2021 for an event in November and some window treatments and most recently a couple of blouses. They have done a great job with all. Price is very reasonable. read more

recently had a bridesmaid dress hemmed here and couldn't be happier with the results! They did a perfect job, and the dress fits beautifully now. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. Plus, the service was a great value. Highly recommend! read more

The gentleman at this place is very nice and professional. I will come back again... thank you.

My girlfriend recommended this place to me for a cheap but reliable alteration. I had a wedding to go to recently and a suit that needed a couple alterations done. I had the pants and suit jacket hemmed and taken in. The length was perfect on the jacket but the pants were a slight bit too long. Skylar was super nice about it when I told him, and offered to re-hem them for free! Great service good stitching job would recommend read more

So let me start of by saying that this place is amazing because they find ways to accommodate any request. We've been coming to this location for years and it's now under a new owner. Nonetheless,the work before was good n it's still great as it transition. I went to formosa cleaners to get a halloween bride dress altered in the back bcuz it was too small. The lady told me that they couldn't do it. I left and knew this place would make it happend. As soon as I told Elvin and Phong, what I needed and they measured me . They created magic.they added a piece on the back. It was better than I expected it. Elvin and Phong were both friendly and efficient. Customer service satisfaction was more than 100% read more

The owner/tailor is a true master of his trade. I brought in a mother of the bride long dress for alterations. He did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend this business for alterations or if you need your garments cleaned. Note: It's cash only for alterations. read more

I needed to help my dad get his dress pants hemmed last minute. I called to make sure they were still open (they close at 5pm) and a man answered promptly. The store was initially hard to find since I drove through the Hawaii supermarket larking lot but it's a small shop directly facing the Hing Wa Lee jewelry store from across the street. The man who helped us out was kind and polite. He promptly measured my dad's pants on him and hemmed the pants without any fuss. We arrived right before closing and he was so nice to help us out. It was just $7 for the pants (would be more if it was like a pair of jeans). Affordable and good customer service! Would highly recommend for tailoring dress pants. read more

Just picked up a swimsuit from amazon altered here. Took around 2 days from when I brought it in- pretty quick! Phong did a great job of working with me to get the suit to fit. I wanted him to alter it a certain way and now the suit fits perfectly. He also texted me when my suit was done. Cost $8. I will come back! Thank you Phong! read more

I can not in good consciousness recommend this Tailor anymore. He tried to charge my spouse $35 to sew on 5 little balls on her poncho. That's more than she paid for it! Find somewhere else where they're not trying to steal your money. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to know that Phong was able to fix my purse zipper a day after I dropped it off. Thank you for you being friendly and professional. read more

The owner/tailor is very professional and a true master of his trade. I highly recommend. Parking is a bit of an issue but well worth the slight inconvenience. He is proactive as he called me directly when my alterations were ready. read more

Happy! This place is very outstanding. Their service is extremely professional and their work is very precise. They will make your needs met. I am truly satisfied! Much appreciated, Employees of Skylar's World Merchandise! read more

My mom recommended me to come here after I told her I needed a couple pair of pants to be tailored on the waist and length. It took about 2-3 days but I love the work so it's always worth the wait, I tried going to another place, it was more expensive and I was left not really satisfied with the work. So I really recommend coming to this place if you need any alterations with your clothing! read more

I had my wedding dress fixed by phong! He's amazing and very detailed oriented!! Great customer service and highly recommended. He is very affordable and his work is great! read more

Brought in my uniform for maternity alterations, they did a great job and I was relieved my uniform was comfortable and still looked very presentable. Pricing is great and they're very friendly. read more

Seriously the best in 626!! Phong never disappoints I even recommended my Mom ! Such a great business

This place is GREAT! I am so ecstatic to have my expensive jeans hemmed here. The quality and details are amazing for the price. I actually know how to sew and have a machine at home but don't know how to hem keeping the original hem. They double stitched the original hem with a Z stitch pattern to keep the fray in place. They also sew at appropriate places so that the extra fabric are kept in place. $7 for regular pants/ jeans hem. $10 to keep original hem. Saves me a trip to go to the OC for about the same price. read more

Finally, I've found the right alteration shop which is very professional and does clean work in the city of San Gabriel. This gentleman's name is Phong. He is a very skillful tailor and always does an amazing job! He is very friendly and has so much enthusiasm for his work. He is able to help me whenever I need anything altered or hemmed. Reasonably priced, and top quality. I am always very satisfied with his work. That's the reason why I always come back here whenever I have any clothes and jeans that need alterations. They offer dry cleaning and cargo services at this shop as well. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. read more

If you are looking for the place to alternate your garments, this is the place that you can trust. Phong is meticulous and patient. He did an amazing job on my dress as well as the price was reasonable. I also tried out the cargo service. I was so surprised that the delivery was so speedy. It only took 5 days to deliver to Vietnam without lost item or damage. I am so glad to find this place . I would recommend to all my friends!!! read more

Don't bother with other tailors who would charge you an arm & leg plus the agony of ruining your garments. I can speak from horrible experiences bc I lost tons of weight. So I have to get all my clothes altered but could never be able to find a capable person to do the job right. To make the story short, if you want to get your clothes alteration done right. Phong is the person who will bend over backward for you. His price? Superb! He has one helper but not always there yet he will keep his promise to get your garments done right & on time. So look no further. read more

I am an old customer of his store, and every time they finish the work quickly, and the service attitude is super super nice.
