Tina and her team at Tailor Maid was more than I could have asked for when I was on the hunt for the best wedding dress tailors in San Francisco. I came to them with a dress I had purchased and a vision. I wanted to completely reconstruct the bodice (boning, liner, etc), add extra tulle, a bustle and a custom, colorful lining. Tina and Isi were an absolute dream team and they brought my vision to life. As a plus size bride with a unique vision, I felt so held and cherished! They worked with my body and created something so, so special just for me!! Everything was done with the utmost care and detail. A truly spectacular transformation!! I cannot thank them enough!!! I had truly the best experience!! If you're looking for the best of the best to help make your wedding dreams come true, Tailor Maid in SF is the right choice, 100/5 stars!! read more

Tailor Maid did an exceptional job with my wedding dress alterations. The customer service was great and I'd recommend anyone in the SF area to trust Tailor Maid with any alteration needs. The price for alterations may have been more than I expected but was 100% worth every penny! I felt absolutely stunning on our wedding day. My dress fit me like a glove and everyone complimented how beautiful I looked in my dress. Thank you for going above and beyond! read more

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Tailor Made SF for two wedding dresses *and* my 40th birthday dress -- and I can honestly say they exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, their exceptional eye for detail, talent, and customer service made me feel like royalty. Every fitting felt like a collaborative experience. The team didn't just tailor my dresses -- they *elevated* them. They proposed thoughtful changes I never would have imagined on my own, each one making the final look even more stunning and glamorous. Their ability to understand your vision (and enhance it!) is second to none. What truly sets them apart is how they treat you. The entire team made me feel like family. Even when I brought loved ones to my appointments, they always checked in with *me* first to make sure I felt comfortable and centered. That level of respect and care meant the world during such an important and emotional time. Tailor Made SF is more than just a tailoring service -- they're artists, professionals, and genuinely kind people who are passionate about making you feel your absolute best. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my most special dresses. Thank you for making me feel like a queen! read more

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! read more

This is ~months~ overdue, but wanted to give a shout out to the team at Tailor Maid in SF. Scheduling an appointment was easy - I shared the date of my wedding/travel and they helped me work backwards to book an initial fitting and two additional appointments. My dress was Agatha by Sarah Seven. Tina was amazing - from the moment I stepped into Tailor Maid, I knew I was in great hands (I was nervous about getting something I had spent so much money on tailored, but she immediately made me feel calm). She was so knowledgeable. Never pushy, but offered me various options to choose from - like sewn in or sticky cups (she actually ended up customizing some sewn in ones for me), or additional boning to smooth the lines on the dress, etc. She also even made one final fix for me when I brought my dress back after initially taking it home because I changed my mind on something. While I ended up paying a bit more in alterations than I expected, it was worth every penny and more to work with the Tailor Maid team. Thank you for making me feel so comfortable and confident on my wedding day! read more

Super kind staff- just a heads up that they only do wedding dress alterations and by appointment only

I can't even begin to explain how grateful I am to Tina and the team at TailorMade for my bridal experience. I came to them about three weeks before my wedding with a dress that had been poorly altered from another tailor, and they assured me they could fix everything - which they did with grace, speed, kindness, and incredible professionalism. While they could have left some of the adjustments that the other tailor made to my dress, they were determined to make sure that when I walked out with my gown that it was up to their high standards and quality and helped to recenter and reinforce my bustle, make sure I felt comfortable in my dress, and brought it in so that it felt like a glove. I felt cared for the entire time - a huge contrast to how gaslit I felt after leaving the other tailor. Pricing might be a little high compared to other bridal salons, but I promise you it's worth it. read more

The Tailor Maid team is amazing! Their online scheduling was easy to navigate and Marissa was super helpful and quick to respond to emails. After each visit, I knew I was in the right hands to make my wedding dress fit to me. Their previous knowledge of my dress was also super informative to me and how the dress should be altered. I felt so comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day with a dress that fit me beautifully. read more

What an amazing group of talented individuals! I brought my wedding gown here and they did a perfect job - it fit me like a glove and you would have never guessed it had been tailored. I'm 5'3" so I needed my gown tailored quite a bit. Tailor Maid did it beautifully - my gown had a low neckline and mesh in the front/back and they cut everything just right. They made me feel beautiful whenever I went in for a fitting and were always more than happy to answer any question I had, no matter how minor. The women were so friendly and just a delight to work with, and the storefront itself is really cute and easily accessible. 10/10 recommend Tailor Maid. Don't stress the cost - it will so be worth it! read more

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. read more

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. read more

TL;DR - Absolutely perfect My experience at Tailor Maid was delightful, to say the least, but truly it was nothing short of perfection on the alterations made to my dress. My ONE comment is that, parking is an absolute nightmare, so unless you're bringing your dress home that day, take public transit or Uber. They have a nice little waiting area so you can just chill while your Uber comes. I worked mostly with Shelley, and I got to meet Marissa, the owner as well. Emily helped me twice, and the seamstress, whose name slips me now, was great as well! Everyone there was extremely professional, patient, and kind. I didn't feel rushed at any of my appointments, and any concerns were quickly addressed. Shelley in particular must be a Virgo because she was on top of it, and wanted me to go home with THE perfect dress. Now, the dress I got was from Lovely Bride, and they recommended I stop here for alterations. I did not look at other alteration shops, though when I first understood the sticker price, it shocked me a lot! I sort of wish I had gotten quotes, but after I went in for my second fitting, I was so glad I chose to go with this premier shop. Marissa and her team know what they're doing. My dress is extremely lazy and intricate; it has particular patterns and it's a mermaid style. This meant I had to get the hem trimmed, the sides at my thigh and waist taken in, and had to add extra boning. If you are like me, who often cuts corners but for some reason your wedding, you're willing to go to the best, you should look no further. Tailor Maid is top notch! I will have NO regrets the day-of, and this is the peace of mind I wanted for my wedding day! read more

If you need help with a wedding or bridesmaid's dress that won't zip up and no time left come here. I received amazing service and quality alterations. The alteration and customization was done within one week. The shop is lovely, it has beautiful tufted furniture and high end fitting rooms with luxurious fabric curtains and ropes. I would definitely recommend for for any bride or bridesmaid. read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

Everyone wants to feel beautiful on their wedding day. Tailor Maid makes that possible. I'm petite and had a big heavy structured dress that needed a lot of taking in and they did everything perfectly. In my last fitting I put it on and felt instantly--this is my dream dress. TINA in particular is just an insanely creative and brilliant artist--she thought of the perfect solutions for the waist support I wanted, manufactured a seamless bustle despite a complicated dress, and made sure every detail (down to the last button, literally) met her high standards. She's amazing with a super sharp perfectionist eye and truly one of a kind. I researched wedding dress tailors in the Bay extensively before settling on Tailor Maid and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They were easy to book, so kind and accommodating when I needed schedule changes, and obviously skilled. I'm so beyond thrilled and grateful for their incredible work! read more

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. read more

AMAZING! Gracious, accommodating, kind, and professional! I had a COVID wedding and we ended up having to cancel the larger festivities for a small outdoor ceremony with 10 family members. I was on the fence about wearing my wedding dress given it was such a small ceremony but ended up deciding about two weeks before the date that I wanted to wear my dress. My neighbor got her wedding dress tailored at Tailor Maid and it's close to our apartment so I checked them out. Luckily they were open and operating safely during SIP! I went in ONE WEEK before my wedding (a Saturday) and the dress was ready by that Tuesday afternoon! The space is gorgeous and they were so accommodating with making the alterations so quickly. I got the dress hemmed, a bustle, wrist strap, and the back loops reinforced. Everything came out beautifully and I felt so comfortable in the dress! Pricing was super reasonable for the quality of the work! Would highly recommend Tailor Maid for any wedding dress alterations you may have! read more

The team at Tailor Maid was so enjoyable to work with and I am so grateful for all their help with my wedding dress! I had never worked with a seamstress before my wedding and I was blown away by the talent and attention to detail from the ladies at Tailor Maid (I wished I remembered everyone's name who helped me at my appointments, they were all wonderful). My dress fit me pretty well before my alterations, but I was amazed by how a few alterations made such a big difference. I have never felt so good in a dress before! Besides a few small alterations and adding a bustle, I consulted with Tailor Maid to make custom sleeves for my dress. I had one photo of sleeves I liked and from just that photo they created the most perfect, beautiful sleeves I could have ever imagined! My favorite part, they made the sleeves removable, so I got to wear them for my ceremony and cocktail hour, take them off for my reception, and then put them back on a few days later for a Dia de los Muertos photoshoot we did with our photographer! I also brought in a second dress I needed help with for my rehearsal dinner and they did a beautiful job on that dress as well! From email communication, to scheduling appointments and offering recommendations and tips for my wedding day, the Tailor Maid made everything so easy for me and went above and beyond the expectations I had! They really pay attention to every single detail. Thank you for everything! read more

Tailor Maid is truly a team of miracle workers! I purchased my dress at a Consignment store. The previous bride was 5'9 and I'm 4'11--I was really nervous about alterations but they put me at ease. Not only did they magically bring the dress down to my size, they also worked with me on a few other tweaks to make the shape more like a mermaid. The finished result was a dress that was essentially custom made for me and absolutely perfect. I'm so grateful for their team for making my risky vision come to life! read more

Wedding tailoring of my dreams! I didn't think I could love my wedding dress anymore until I put it on after having it tailored by the team at Tailor Maid. It was like a different dress in the best possible way. It fit me perfectly, allowing me to feel comfortable and move easily around. The team helped to fit the the bodice to my waist size, requiring delicate and intricate work that they executed flawlessly. In addition, they hemmed my dress length, added a bustle , and created a custom veil that matched the length of my dress. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome and would recommend Tailor Maid to anyone! read more

I rarely review but Tailor Maid has gained the 5 stars and more! I came with a wedding dress that did not fit my bigger chest. They had to remove the beading and get more fabric from other parts of the dress. Fortunately, Tailor Maid was able to stick to my budget. Otherwise, I would not have been able to wear the dress and look for another dress in 2 weeks before the wedding! My dress turn out amazing. Thank you so much to all the team. You made the whole process less stressful. I would definitely recommended them! read more

Tailor Maid - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Francisco, California

We postponed our wedding several times due to COVID. W decided to have a micro-wedding to make it official in case our rescheduled ceremony is called off. I purchased my dress several years ago from BHDLN (Willowby by Watters Raliegh dress). I wanted to finally wear it regardless if our rescheduled wedding occurs. The Tailor Maid team did a fantastic job tailoring my dress. I had bought my dress on sale and it was 4x sizes too big. The craftsmanship was remarkable as they had to do a lot of delicate hand work to adjust the train and chiffon layers to bring in my dress. My dress fit perfectly and now I'm excited about having an opportunity to wear it again (fingers crossed)! The Tailor Maid team also has exceptional customer service. I moved up to Truckee and the team was aware that I was driving back to SF solely for the appointments. We originally had 4 fittings scheduled but since the team knew it was a longer trip for me, they were able to consolidate them into 3 appointments without sacrificing their work. They were communicative throughout the process and easily accommodated my last minute schedule changes. I highly recommend using Tailor Maid! You will not be disappointed with their service. read more

Tailor Made did an incredible job with my wedding dress and I will return to them for any future tailoring needs. I purchased my dress from a sample shop so I needed multiple alterations to make it fit to my liking. Marissa was detailed and took her time to understand my vision. Ultimately I wanted to change the sleeves into more of an off-shoulder look and have the dress taken in and hemmed. In addition, there was an issue where the dress would bunch in the front when I walked. Marissa creatively found multiple solutions to mitigate the issue. By the time she was done it fit like a glove and was so beautiful. Definitely start early in this process. I started about 3 months ahead of time and luckily it worked out even though we added on an additional fitting in addition to the estimated 3. read more

I cannot tell you enough how amazing Marissa, Nazila, and their seamstress have been. We made some major changes to my dress and I was SO happy with how everything turned out after all my fittings. That dress fit me like a glove at the very end, and at the very same time I was so comfortable in it. A huge shoutout to Nazila for helping me during all my fittings. You're so amazing and have a great eye for detail. Thank you for creating a beautiful bustle on my dress, fixing so many details, and making sure everything looks perfect. :) read more

My dress was spectacular for the day of my wedding!!! The customer service at each appointment was excellent. Everyone provided me with much comfort during each of my follow up fittings. The only reason for my four stars is due to the fact that my bustle for my dress during the reception did not hold. When family members were assisting my mother with the bustling (she has poor eye sight), the thread became loose and did not hold the under layer to the mesh. I managed the night dancing away even though I had to hold my train for the night. Other than that, I'd still recommend Marisa and her team for alterations. read more

I loved working with Marissa and her team. They're perfectionists which was great for me because it meant that I was getting the highest quality alterations with amazing attention to detail. I ended up getting 3-4 fittings and the dress looked better and better each time. Not only was I extremely satisfied with the work, the studio is so chic. It really makes you feel like you're getting pampered. Marissa even sent me off with an emergency kit just in case (needle, thread, hooks, etc). I'm in the wedding industry and have already referred my brides to work with Marissa. Will continue to rave about their work and my positive experience! read more

Marissa is incredible! I fell absolutely in love with a dress that was gorgeous [on a size 0 model] and quite revealing... Being that I have curves, Marissa instructed me on exactly which size to purchase in order to make sure it would hold everything in. She went above and beyond the call of duty and the final product was proof. I have never received more compliments! Bonus: Marissa made the whole process enjoyable - I never stressed once! Everything was perfectly handled by her and I am in love with our wedding photos. Don't even question it - when it comes to intricate designs, couture, or even if weight fluctuations she is a pro! I could not recommend Tailor Maid more highly. Thank you Marissa and Team! XO read more

Let me preface this by saying, I received no apology for what happened and the business took no accountability for this. I entrusted this business with my wedding dress alterations, and one of the alterations came undone while I was taking formal portraits, before the ceremony or reception even took place. A family friend had to find a needle and thread to try and fix it while I was taking pictures (it was never fixed). I walked down the aisle and spent my entire reception wearing a ruined dress. The cups that were replaced in the top also came undone. I consider the wedding industry, especially wedding dress alterations, to be an area where there is no room for mistakes. This is a wedding dress worth thousands of dollars, that I only get to wear once on the most important day of my life. Now I remember my dress as not being PERFECT, which for the cost of these alterations, is just unacceptable. My mother paid for the alterations, so after this occurred on my wedding day, she contacted the business asking for compensation. They brushed her off, so I had to get involved and speak my truth. They listened to me, only because I'm the bride and I could attest to the poor alteration job. The business expressed no real empathy or concern for how this may have impacted my wedding day. All carrie said was "I will venmo you $218" lol and I had to talk her into reimbursing us for $35 of that. All this to say, be VERY careful who you trust to do your alterations. This business was used by a friend of a friend and this still happened to me. I want to mention that this business also upsold us on changes to my dress that were unnecessary. We ordered my dress in a split size (meaning the dress was custom made to all of my measurements) We paid more money for this with the notion that my alterations would be minimal. I also wanted to keep the cost low, since we decided to pay more for my dress to be custom made into a split size. I went into Tailor Made thinking my dress was near perfect, only to come out with a slew of work they recommended be done to my dress. Very disappointed in this experience! I traveled a long distance for my fittings and put all my faith in Tailor Made to deliver seamless alterations. Maybe this can help save a future bride. No one deserves to receive a dress that isn't FLAWLESS. read more

Bought my wedding dress from Lovely Bride in NYC and this as their recommended spot for alterations in SF. I made my appointment online a few months ago and finally dropped my dress of this past weekend. The shop is super cute and in a fairly central location in the city. The woman who helped me was such a star and so helpful and helped to explain all the changes they would be making, cost associated, showed me a few options to bundle the dress in back for dancing. I felt so great seeing everything pinned back and was really impressed at the professionalism and skill. They even helped to measure my fiance for his tux although he didn't have an appointment. Can't wait to pick my dress up in a few weeks! read more

Marisa, and her co-worker Lisa, did wonderful work on a dress that turned out to be extra challenging due to the three layers it had, the top one having delicately embroidered flowers. Also, the dress needed to be taken in two sizes which complicated the work in hand. It was a very time consuming & intricate job which took more hours than expected. Marisa stayed with her original quote when it came to billing me. In the end the dress fitted like it was made for me & it (& I) looked fabulous on the day.Thank you so much Marisa!

This review is super overdue, but I wanted to share my whole hearted recommendation for Marissa at Tailor Maid. She was recommended to me by Lovely Bride where I purchased my dress. Marissa was very prompt to answer over email, has an adorable studio, and was super efficient and knowledgable in regards to what needed to be altered (she had altered the same dress a few times). I thought her prices were fairly reasonable, as well. My dress was pretty form fitting, and it ended up fitting beautifully. I am giving Marissa five stars because of her awesome customer service. My wedding was scheduled for October, but it ended up having to get postponed the week of due to the fires in Wine Country. I didn't think to try on my dress again until the week before my rescheduled wedding in December. When I did try it on, I realized I had lost some weight and the dress no longer fit. In a bit of a panic, I reached out to Marissa to see if she could squeeze me in for another fitting. Not only was she able to fit me in and turn around my alterations extremely quickly, but she only charged me for materials needed and not for labor, which ended up being somewhere around $35. I was super impressed by her kindness and willingness to help out in an emergency, and would recommend her without reservation to anyone! read more
