    I cannot recommend Tailored by Ted enough! From the very first appointment, she made me feel completely at ease and confident that my wedding dress was in the best hands. She worked with me through countless fittings, always patient, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every adjustment was perfect. The end result was a dress that fit like it was made for me, absolute perfection. On top of that, she was always timely, reliable, and professional throughout the whole process. Thanks to their talent and dedication, I truly felt my best on my wedding day!!

    Nano took a dress two sizes two big and was able to make it fit like a glove. The outcome was better than I could have imagined. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, all thanks to her!

    10/10!!! Best experience with a tailor I have ever had. Nano is incredibly talented, professional, and kind. She tailored my wedding dress PERFECTLY. Her tailoring expertise is worth every penny, and I was able to feel fully confident on my wedding day. Nano is very patient and ensures you are completely satisfied before you leave. Definitely call to make an appointment as she is quite busy (not surprising, given her talent). The shop is small - there's one fitting room, but if you are coming with guests, she does have a few chairs for them to sit! I didn't find out until later that she does alterations for other non-wedding clothes as well so I am definitely going to be bringing more to her in the future. I cannot recommend Tailored By Ted enough! Thank you Nano!

    Please do not go anywhere else for your wedding dress alterations! Nano is amazing, she is an expert, and she actually cares. I feel like she is family now and am so thankful I found her. She will be my forever tailor now. She went above and beyond to make sure that my wedding dress was perfect and ready for my big day. Thank you Nano! Love you!

    Nano is the most incredible and talented woman I have ever met! I will be going to her for every single need I have from now on! I brought her my wedding dress that had come after I'd lost a substantial amount of weight, so it was about 4 sizes too big. Nano had to completely restructure the dress in order to make it fit (the store couldn't send me a smaller size in time) so Nano made it happen! She came in on her days off multiple times to make sure the dress would be ready in time, and she made me feel so beyond safe and secure that everything would work out perfectly! I genuinely had so much fun when I would go for my fittings with her because she was genuinely so excited for me and for the dress that it made me feel so confident and beautiful! This was the dress of my dreams and Nano made it the dress I could never have even dreamed of because it was so perfect- and most importantly- so me! I am forever grateful for her and she helped me on a few other outfits for the weekend too! I can't wait to come back and see her and work with her again. If you are looking for a wedding dress tailor look no further- she is the best of the best! Thank you NanoI am so grateful to you!

    Nano is THE BEST! As excited as I was for my wedding, I was so sad to say goodbye this kind business owner. the racks of covered gowns in her workshop make it clear she has a good and busy business, yet she gives you her undivided attention for as long as it takes for each fitting. You will never feel rushed. One of my favorite remembrances was practicing my first dance with her to ensure there'd be no tripping. In addition to dancing, you'll pretend to walk down the aisle -- with Nano's eagle eye watching to see if any part of the dress is in your way. She'll make sure you won't trip on any part of your big dress! And to cut to the chase, my dress fit me like a glove on my Big Day! By the way, I found Nano because the small bridal boutique owner where I purchased the dress recommended her (@NWLA Bridal ) For me that's a huge endorsement. I can't wait to have another garment altered. Tailored by Ted is my go-to alteration business.

    Nano SAVED my wedding dress. Nano is the best wedding dress tailor in Southern California without question I bought my wedding dress from a salon in LA without checking yelp first (ladies you MUST check yelp while dress shopping) and to my horror I came to find that they have a reputation of altering dresses before you pick it up so that you'll need MORE work on it. They prey on women's emotions, and convince you that they are the only people who could fix it. Thank god I read the yelp review before and I promptly picked up my dress and was on the hunt for a great tailor. I found one tailor, they going to charge so much money, It would have come out to the same cost of the dress, and it also felt like a scheme so I left. Time was running out before the wedding and I was hysterical. I didn't know where to go. I had to scramble to find someone I finally trust when it felt everyone was trying to take advantage of me. I called the woman who made my veil in tears about the situation and she recommended Nano. I called right away and she was able to see me in the SAME HOUR I called. The dress was in bad shape. Not only it was it altered, the sleeves were sewn in BACK WARDS. The tailor I first went to never caught that this or that it was altered. Nano took one look at the dress and showed me everything that was wrong in 5 min. She was very honest on how bad the dress was, which was a relief because it was the first time someone was honest with me. She said it would be very hard but she could fix it! I trusted her right away. Over the next couple weeks, she practically built the dress back again. Not only was she excellent in skill, she was so loving, so kind, so patience. I felt like I was working with family. She built the dress back to my dream dress! It fit me perfectly and everyone complemented me on how perfectly it fit my body. I didn't want to take my dress off on my wedding day Nano is an excellent tailor and she is also an excellent person. She takes such great care of her brides. I am forever grateful to her that she saved my wedding dress. If you are looking for the best tailor in the business you have found the right place.

    Mr. Bello is a fantastic tailor who runs a great business…read more He has become my go-to for my menswear tailoring needs, but I have personally seen clients bring all kinds of garments in, including women's clothing. Santa Monica Tailor is right in Santa Monica near the well-known Bay Cities Italian Deli & Bakery. You can find street parking or grab a parking spot behind the business where there are a few spots reserved for clients. Inside is a classy setup with the tailoring mirror and stand along with nice displays of a suit, a vintage sewing machine as a decorative piece, some comfy chairs for clients or clients' friends and family, and tasteful furniture. I've always been greeted with a smile here and very speedy service. At the same time, I never feel rushed here, and I truly feel listened to. You'll want to bring in your garment(s) and then try them on for Mr. Bello to inspect the fit and ask you what modifications you'd like. He has guided me before when I wasn't too sure and wanted a second opinion on how something should fit. I trust him with his choices given his experience. Also, it's been fun getting to become a return customer and hear sometimes compliments on the quality of some garments I have brought in. I know he's seen a lot of clothes, so his eye is really sharp. Here, I have received services such as pants hemming, suit jacket slimming, suit jacket sleeve shortening, and pants tapering. Santa Monica Tailor has always done a great job. The fit always has come out nice for me, and when I checked out the details, I could see the worksmanship that goes into the garments. Note that the business has a policy where you can take in your tailored garment for modifications up to 7 days after recieving it if you are in some way unsatisfied. This is a very smart business move to build trust and loyalty, and it's a nice peace of mind for clients. I also have been happy with the quick turnaround times here and the ease of communication via phone and text. Prices have always been fair to me and in line with other top tailors in the LA area. Payment is accepted via at least cash and Venmo, which I have done, and possibly more like Zelle (inquire further about this). Overall, just a top-notch tailor in the LA area who treats clients with professionalism, respect, and class. It really is a great feeling to have a tailor you trust, so I encourage you to at least try them out and see for yourself.

    A great tailor in Santa Monica! Very knowledgeable and…read morefriendly. They also care to give you additional advice to maintain your clothings material. This is the only tailor i will go to.
