Ballroom bustle! $300 for this bustle. Tailor Maid also does American (over) and French bustles for less $ than ballroom.
Nami T.

Very pricey but very worth it. My gown is gorgeous with the most amazing Duchess satin so I wanted to make sure I had it altered at the right place. My bridal boutique in LA recommended Tailor Maid, so it seemed like it had to be good! I had the pleasure of working with Tina who is as pleasant and helpful as she is skilled. She gave me everything I asked for. The fit was impeccable, and everything from strap placement to hemline to the ballroom bustle (worth it!) was a dream come true. I was on a tight timeline (first fitting was 3 weeks out from wedding day) and they made it happen! Tina even gave me a discount for the buttons at the zipper area which would have been an extra charge. The website is helpful, too. I ended up purchasing the steamer recommended on the FAQ and it was great. Street parking which can be tricky but my appointments were always first thing in the morning so I didn't have trouble. Not too far from BART/MUNI stations at Powell, Montgomery etc either. Trying on my wedding dress, knowing it was in good hands, then walking to Joy's Place for a latte afterward on a beautiful SF September morning. Definitely one of the more relaxing parts of my wedding prep!

I cannot say enough good things about Tina and her incredible team at Tailor Maid. Aside from being massively talented, they are so nice and welcoming and truly made my dress fitting experience a highlight of wedding planning. They really take the time to understand what you want and they know these dresses and designers inside and out. I am so grateful for their incredible work, my dress fit like a glove! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for wedding dress tailoring in SF.

Tina and the team at Tailor Maid are wonderful. I had my wedding dress and after party dress tailored here and was 1000% happy with the results. They were able to advise me on the best time to come in, balancing weight loss with having enough time to get all alterations done on time. Everytime I walked in, they were so warm and welcoming. We did a total of 3 fittings. The bustle, cinching, craftsmanship, and service are fantastic. I'm hoping to go back to them to have my dress altered into a cocktail dress.

I'm so grateful and impressed with the work and service from Marissa and the Tailor Maid team! From start to finish they executed all my fittings perfectly and guided me so wonderfully throughout the process with care and consideration. I bought my dress from Lovely Bride SF and they had told me my dress was extremely challenging to alter so I knew going into it that I had to work with the best and truly trust whoever would be able to alter my dress since it hides nothing. Marissa and Tailor Maid definitely delivered! I was thrilled with how my dress turned out and it fit perfectly. Their work made my dress shine and it wouldn't have been nearly as great looking without Tailor Maid. Thank you so much, Marissa and team! I cannot recommend them enough!!!

I'm so happy I had my wedding dress altered here. The team is so wonderful to work with, they make sure that every detail feels perfect for you and make sure you feel totally comfortable in your dress. I appreciated that there were 3 fittings, they put so much time and care into each element of the dress, and it really shows. 100% recommend Tailor Maid!

My altered dress with a custom belt made from excess fabric! Fit beautifully.
Seana P.

I can't say enough amazing things about this place. I bought a pre-loved dress from a consignment store in San Francisco and brought it here. Amazingly they recognized that they had hemmed the dress for the previous owner because they had saved the excess fabric with the dress and recognized their bustle loops! They crafted a beautiful belt from the leftover fabric. I had a minor shoe dilemma since after altering the dress, the hem was too short (this dress was pre-hemmed since it was owned before). They were actually able to stretch out the lace and make it the perfect length. I was shocked. They were nothing but kind, professional, and genuinely excited to be a part of my wedding journey. At my final fitting, I couldn't hold back tears because I was so amazed and so happy with how beautiful the dress turned out. They do such quality work, are transparent about pricing, and remove much of the stress that comes with wedding planning! I had never felt so beautiful.

Final dress before alterations

Marissa is a rockstar magician!!! After trying on over 50 dresses, I made an empowered choice to go with a "semi-custom" dress in order to get what I really wanted: a dress that combined a sweetheart neckline, blush base fabric with white lace, and a "fit and flare" or "soft mermaid" shape. Unfortunately what I got back from the designer was not "fit and flare" and it didn't have a sweetheart neckline. What I got back was an A-line dress that emphasized the widest part of my body and made me look dumpy, not curvy. The straps were in the wrong place. One out of three was not my idea of success. Before going to Tailor Maid, I would stare at my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th choice dress photos with tears in my eyes. If only ... When I looked at the original design photo next to the reality of the dress before Tailor Maid alterations, I felt a mix of sorrow, anger, and regret. Fortunately Marissa at Tailor Maid worked her magic. She rebuilt significant portions of the dress, so that I ended up with a fit and flare dress with a unique blend of a v-neck and sweetheart neckline. In the end, the dress was beautiful - just as she promised when I emailed her photos. I loved it. I highly recommend Tailor Maid. Book your session with them as soon as you can to make sure you look fabulous on your wedding day.

I love them! They help me with my wedding dress in a short time. The alterations was discreet enough. 100% recommended.

So far I've brought in several trousers for alterations and they do such a professional and clean job on each one. I couldn't recommend anyone else if you're in the Union Square area. When you make it to the building they will need to buzz you in and they are located a quick elevator ride on the second level.

I brought a cheap floor length trench coat to them and asked them to build me an inner lining so it would become slightly more wind proof. I knew it was going to be a challenging job since it would likely mean partially deconstructing/taking apart the jacket so the inner lining can be attached from the inside. Within 3 weeks worth of time, they had sewn in this beautiful silky satin lining with matching color. I wore it over my sweater and long sleeve shirt in a brisk afternoon, and sure enough having the extra lining completely helped! I also asked them to hem several pairs of thrift store pants with frayed edges. They did a beautiful job with picking out matching thread for hemline without significantly shortening the length. During my pick up I gave them additional jobs to repair several moth holes I discovered in a couple of wool items, including a beautiful tweed blanket I bought from Falkland Islands (I almost donated it). While I eagerly await to receive these items back I am confident that their work will continue to showcase the fine craftsmanship they always deliver. I cannot recommend this place enough! Their location is close to the Montgomery BART/MUNI station which is ideal esp if you're dropping off before or after work, coming from East Bay. The entrance is a bit hard to find but just make sure you ring the right door bell and they will buzz you in.

I was taken aback by her continued kindness. There are plenty of kind people out there, thank you for being one of them. I will definitely be checking them out for my future alteration and dry cleaning.

This was my first time ever having something dry cleaned. I called and spoke with Jay about a…read moretuxedo jacket I needed dry cleaned. I let him know I had worn it for the first time on 5/26/25 for a wedding, about five hours straight. There was no damage or visible stains, but the inside of the jacket, specifically the armpit area, had a little deodorant/sweat odor from wearing it for hours. Jay reassured me they could take care of it. I had originally gone to another place first, I walked into SF Green Clean, which said they couldn't remove armpit sweat odor with dry cleaning. (To be fair, the woman I spoke with there was very sweet, so no complaints on her customer service.) That's how I ended up at Sonia's Dry Cleaners. Jay told me they'd be able to handle it, and if I wasn't satisfied after the first attempt, they'd clean it again at no extra charge. He mentioned if needed there were other chemicals they could use to get a smell out if needed/depending on the material of the jacket and that prices would vary if needed, but he looked at it and quoted me when I dropped it off for $25. I dropped it off on 5/28/25 with no rush order. When I picked it up on 6/9/25 and checked it, the odor was still present. I went back inside and spoke with Mary at the front--she was VERY kind. I pointed out the specific area I was hoping they could focus on, and she told me it would be ready by 6/12/25 and that they'd call or text me when it was done. On pickup day, I called ahead and spoke with Jay again. He was EXTREMELY kind and made it clear they truly wanted to earn my business. He even said they'd be willing to clean it a third or fourth time if necessary. That level of care and professionalism really stood out. I expected I might have to ask for a refund or run into a problem, but instead, the whole interaction was handled smoothly and respectfully. When I picked up the jacket, the smell in the armpit area was completely gone. It looked and smelled brand new, bagged and ready for the next event. It was in a clear bagged packaging and had a metal copper hanger (the copper hanger was encased in a wrapped paper like material but seeing the metal iron worried me because I've had old copper hangers rust/leave the copper residue on materials, thankfully this one didn't, but I also assume since it's wrapped that it's not meant to be hanging on it long term, but just an observation for someone who might worry like I do) I was originally leaning toward a 3-star rating because I had to return for a second cleaning and didn't receive the call/text updates I was told to expect (Mary did mention their system may have been down). But their exceptional customer service, especially the way Jay and Mary handled everything completely won me over. That extra effort earned the business 4 stars. (The dock was having to come back in due to it looking/smelling the same which was mentioned my main concern, and them not contacting me when they said it'd be ready both times) I don't know the price of more dry cleaning items but thankfully I don't do dry cleaning so often. I'll definitely be back and will update my review after my next visit. Thank you!

I first met Sandra about two years ago when I needed a rushed alteration on a complicated designer dress. She was incredibly meticulous and made it fit me perfectly. Since then, she's done many alterations for me and created several custom pieces for my wedding and bridal events. She made my bridal reception dress inspired by Vivienne Westwood, altered my actual Westwood ceremony dress, and designed my fully custom rehearsal look, along with two sexy black dresses, one for my bachelorette and one for New Year's Eve. She just gets it. Everything fits beautifully, feels considered, and is executed at a really high level. Sandra is skilled, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to work with.
