She did an incredible job on my dress pants--they look and feel custom tailored. I have been coming here more than 10 years and every time I visited she did the same level of consistent skill and attention to detail. If you need someone who knows exactly what they're doing, look no further! read more

For more than 10 years, my family has taken all of our alteration needs to Esther. Whether it's dresses, suits, hemming pants, or fabric repairs, she can do it all. Need patches sewn onto a letter jacket? Esther has the machines and expertise to get the job done right. I highly recommend Sun Alterations & Tailoring for any alteration needs. The service is fantastic, and Esther is always super friendly. read more

Love it, she does an amazing job. Not only the job the way she approached the customers.

I used to bring many of my alteration needs here. Most of the time, the qualities were decent, couple of time were not. I have one pant that she worked on twice, but kept ripped open, and I brought to her attention, she did not apologize that she might have overlooked the area that needed to be enhenced. I was a bit not pleased about how she handeled the situation. However, I really want to support the small business, so I thought that I should give another try again. She must has gone mad this time, Sun wants to charge shortening a simple linen pant for $40, in La Crescenta area????!!! This is Norstrom price!! and I was reluctant to agree on the price, she kept pushing and exercised the worse car slae's person's schtick, told me how special and difficult those pants will require to work on. She probably did not know that I sew too, I have basic knowledge of operating sewing machine and a surger. I walked out of the door, and went down the street to another alterarion who charges $18 for the same job. I really hate to write negative review for small business, but I really have gave this business plenty opportunities. It is dissapointed that I felt she is destroying whatever she has built in the past. Sun should be greatful that community has been supporting her business, she should continue to charge fairly and maintain the good quality work, instead of taking advanatge of her pouplarity, and try to rip off the customers. read more

Esther is a wonderful tailor! She is so easy to communicate with and does a very professional job. My husband and I had many pants hemmed including jeans. The jeans were done keeping the original hem, which a lot of tailors don't seem to offer. Esther is very knowledgeable about modern styles and was able to advise us on proper fit. We will continue using her services for our tailoring needs! read more

Fantastic quality; can do original hems to perfection, reasonably priced and accessible.

I Needed my daughter's costume fixed last minute for a performance the next day. Sun fixed the costume at 7pm the day before and did a superb job! Highly recommended! read more

Best tailor in Los Angeles. Fair, on time, and amazing work. If you're looking for a tailor Sun's Tailor is the place! So glad I found her. Thank you! read more

Amazing tailor! The only place I go to and super quick turnaround time. Also really fair and good pricing

Not inexpensive, but she did a nice job with my suit alterations which were fairly extensive. Oh look, I'm a poet and didn't know it!

I have all my alterations done here with Esther. She does amazing work. I am always recommending her to my friends & family. :)

Sun is sweet and does great work. Some folks are complaining about prices, but she's actually very competitive. I had a rather tricky tear for her to repair and she reinforced it and made it look brand new! She also does great work with Jean hems. I just hope she takes a vacation soon. She works so hard! read more

She was amazing. She did an amazing job for my dress. She was also helpful since I have very short time. I appreciate it

If you have something complicated like a prom dress to fit right, for eg, than by all means go here. She knows her stuff. But if you just want a simple pant hemmed up or a dress length hemmed up than you're better off going to your dry cleaner or anyone else! $50(!) for a simple length alteration is ridiculous. read more

Best tailor in town. From a simple hem, to fully taking in jackets and dresses, Esther does it all and is so talented. She is the only one working there, so I'd recommend giving her sufficient time to work and you won't be disappointed with the quality of her work! read more

Sadly, cant recommend getting your work done here, but maybe mine was just an isolated event. Brought a dress in to be altered. Service was timely and everything seemed great. When I tried it on during the pick up, the back of the dress was way too short, making it unwearble. They offered to take off the seam to make it longer but that wasn't enough to make it wearable without my butt showing. Pretty disappointed as this beautiful dress was for a wedding and now I have to start all over. Won't be returning here again. :/ read more

Sun's Alterations were great! It's definitely a small business, but I didn't feel like the owner was trying to rush me or anything. She was attentive to my needs and I felt that she knew what she was doing plus that she specialized in altering two dresses I needed shortened in 2 weeks time. She gave me an approximate pick up date, quote up front, and told me the parts of the dresses that she would alter. She took on a sequined, shiny dress, too! Professional, attentive, and upfront! Would go again for future alterations! read more

Had suit pants and sleeves hemmed. Esther did a great job and had everything ready on time as promised.

Lovely owner lady running htis business who was sweet and professional and turned my suit around last minute the day before a wedding. Took up my leg pants and waist of pants in and did a great job/super quick / very very affordably. Will be back. Thank you and highly recommend read more

My go-to for alterations, good quality and great staff! Lovely atmosphere and I know this all sounds like buzzwords, but genuinely good place to go. :) read more

I had three suit jackets tailored there. They did a good job and were very friendly. I would recommend them.

Esther is a gifted tailor and I love her creative and careful approach to the alterations I needed. It took about a week to shorten 2 tiered dresses and add sleeves. I'll be back! read more

Ester did the alterations on my wedding dress. She went above & behind! My dress has sewn on detailing with beading. I needed to have quite a bit removed from the chest, arms and over all length. Not only did Ester fit it perfectly to me, she has sewed the detailing back onto my dress. She lined up all the details perfectly! I am in love with my custom fitted wedding dress. Also, she did it in a week!! Incredible. Thank you Ester read more

Great experience! I am so glad I found Esther and her shop. I had a pair of jeans hemmed and they look great. I also had a very tricky dress taken in. Both things were done quickly and were a great price. I'm definitely coming back. read more

I brought my PRADA jacket to fix some issue around the pocket, and Esther fixed very nicely! I will come back here again for sure.

I took my denim jacket to get tailored and they did a great job. I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to detail so I was a little hesitant to take my jacket here due to the low number of reviews. But then I thought to myself "F That!", I should be supporting all local businesses! Judging reviews is interesting. I think that they have low number of reviews because yelp isn't something most people consider unless a business has come up from the internet generation. These small businesses that don't cater to yelp/the internet are amazing. I can imagine that they wanted to start a business because they felt they were good at doing X. They also felt that service X wasn't provided or available where they live so they wanted to risk/invest in starting something up for their community. I think that's beautiful and I will continue to look for places with the lowest number of reviews. I'm not too familiar with other competitive prices but the price I got felt reasonable especially considering the labor. Plenty of people pay over hundreds of dollars on food and drinks without hesitation but are quick to protest paying the cost of human labor that require detail. When things are too cheap or low cost, someone's getting hurt (i.e. our farmers who grow our foods). Support your community. Quick turnaround rate and friendly. read more

Esther is amazing! I took a crewneck that I really liked to be hemmed a few inches and she did an amazing job. My friends were shocked that it was altered at all because of the amazing job Esther did. read more

I've been going here for 12 years. Esther is the best! Kind and attentive. She does great work. She will never give up on providing quality. I love that she finds creative ways to alter without losing the clothings form or essence. Esther also is honest and doesn't want you to overspend on altering something. She'll find a way to make it work. read more

The owner explained she worked late and I went back later that week and she did a great job at a fantastic price.

I have been tailoring my clothes here for years. Esther is wonderful -- professional, skilled, timely, and affordable. You will not regret entrusting her with your finest clothes. I have referred many happy customers to her. read more

Very quick and understands what needs to be done/looks good. Lets me know what day I should expect it to be done and notifies if its done early. read more

If you're ever in need of an alteration, I recommend Sun Alteration & Tailoring. This past November I was in need of major alterations for a bridesmaid dress. I was turned down by multiple tailors as I was told they were incapable of fixing the dress. I ended up taking it to here and Esther was able to fix the dress up and made it fit perfectly. It was a little pricey but worth it 100%. 10/10 recommend! read more

Esther is the best. When I needed the sleeves shortened on my tux jacket, she had it measured in seconds and told me when it would be ready. She texted me when it was done and it was done to perfection! Thanks Esther, I stopped in for the convenience, but I'll be back because your the best! read more

I've come to see Esther a couple times, once to alter some jeans, and most recently to repair an old blanket that had a lot of rips and tears. She did a wonderful job on both. Thank you, Esther! read more

The alterations were done well. The cost is not cheap. Maybe I'm out of touch with what alterations should cost but mine were more than the cost of the garment. Ouch. read more

Ester at Sun Alterations is a very good tailor and is nice. You'll be happy with the service and alterations.

I'm one of those "lucky" covid brides who had to postpone her wedding. Esther had hemmed my wedding dress, changed the belt and created a bustle. When I told her I postponed last year, she encouraged me to stay the course so it would fit once our wedding arrived. Our wedding is this Sunday and I tried my dress on a few days ago and discovered it was slightly big in the bodice so back to Esther I went. Esther agreed to take it in in just a couple of days and upon picking it up today, I asked her what the charge would be. No charge! I did pay for previous alterations but figured since more of her time was being spent on my dress, I'd have to pay her. She insisted there was no charge. Considering I've been spending money on this wedding like it's water, any savings right now is much appreciated. And she did a fabulous job on my gorgeous lace dress. Thanks Esther! read more

I was in the area randomly and needed a quick fix on my Armani dress shirt for a wedding. The owner there was kind and offered to alter my shirt on the spot. I really loved the turnaround and how well the fit came out to be. Loved how detail oriented she was with the stitching and the price was very reasonable. I would most likely go back to her for more alteration when the opportunity arises. read more

Amazing and quick service! Our go-to when it comes to any alterations, tailoring, and anything else!

I am updating this review because I'm a so unhappy with how my dress looks on me- and I have not gained any weight. Something happened in the alteration process. To be fair, the dress was too big and Esther had a big task to make it fit me. However, it was not altered to a perfect fit. The right side is slightly folded/ wrinkled in the way it was pulled to be fit smaller. And the worst part.. the bodice of the dress completely changed shape. It shifted so dramatically that my boobs no longer fit in the top portion without looking obscene. I don't know if she pulled backwards too much to alter it, spreading the natural line of the dress or what, but it does not fit line it is supposed to, I'm getting married in 2 days and I'm devastated. On top of everything, my bridal shop asked what she charged me, and when I said $600- they nearly keeled over from shock. That's higher than they had expected. I am so disappointed and trying to make the best of this, but it feels really bad. And I wish I didn't have to wear it. When I or digitally bought it I loved it. read more
