I got my wedding dress tailored with Jeanetta and she did an absolutely amazing job! She was very helpful in having me figure out what it was I wanted for my dream day! She put bussles so that when it was time to dance I was able to move around without the train being and issue! She also was very attentive with making sure my dress looked long but I didn't step over it as I walked down the aisle. She also suggested getting bra cups inside that way I had a little push with out having to wear a bra at all. I'm an RN and my schedule can be pretty hectic and she was able to accommodate me as well as my mom, mother in law and bridesmaids that all got their dresses tailored with her. You can tell she has years of experience and is very knowledgeable about dress tailoring but as well as anything wedding. She made my dress absolutely stand out and gave me tips on how to make sure it stayed beautiful throughout my special day! read more

Jeanetta did a wonderful job fitting my dress and making sure it was perfect for the day of my wedding! She was super responsive and took the time to film a video to help my bridesmaids with the bustle and helped me sew a piece of my grandma's wedding dress into my gown. My photographer even commented on how well she stuffed the dress so that it wouldn't wrinkle when I traveled with it and said it some of the best she'd seen! read more

The work is great but the owner is extremely disorganized. Based on previous reviews I ensured I didn't give her an actual date of when the dress was needed by. I am so thankful I did that because she made 2 errors; confused my alterations with someone else causing me to drive to pick up the dress for nothing because the dress wasnt ready and double booked me the 2nd time, making me wait an hour. When I vocalized my frustration, she didn't apologize but stated she's human and makes errors. Was that her apology? Don't know but I rolled with it out of pure necessity because I had no time to find another tailor who could do such detailed work with beads and fabric. If you choose her to alter your prom/wedding dress, consider yourself warned. Proceed with caution. read more

Jeanetta worked some wonders on my dress! First, she is such a cheerleader and encourager during what can be a very stressful season. I always looked forward to going to dress fittings because I knew I'd feel beautiful. Secondly, she made my dress fit me like a glove. I kept losing weight and she kept having to adjust it, and she did that for me happily. She came highly recommended by Anthropologie where I got my dress and I'm so glad I chose her! read more

Jeanetta is absolutely astounding! I can't even begin to tell you brides how amazing she is. Like many, I searched and inquired to many places to get my dress altered. The dress was too long, I needed a bustle, and I wanted the v neck picked up because it was too revealing for my liking. I called so many places and the cost was ridiculous, I felt like they were charging me another dress. I didn't really want to go to downtown, like so many people say to go. I wanted to go to someone that had a reputation and Jeanetta was the one. I called her and we booked an appointment. She tells you what she will do. The cost, at least for me, included 3 fittings. Each time I felt even more excited with the progress. My mom only speaks Spanish but she explained to her how the bustle needed to be the day of the wedding. I wanted the v neck to be picked up and she had no problem weaving the material and blending it in so nicely. Her prices are totally doable. She is flexible with her time. I had to cancel a couple times and went in earlier than I had to on one appointment (my mistake) but she took me in quickly. I was so happy with how the dress turned out. Her location is convenient - parking is a hit or miss depending on the day you go, but don't let that steer you away. She is lovely and I'm so happy I chose to go to her. Lastly, she also has a limited selection of dresses and jewelry. I was able to buy my bridal shower dress from her read more

Jeanetta is amazing!! She is doing the alterations on my wedding gown, which isn't an easy gown to work with! She is incredibly talented and super sweet! I wouldn't want my dress in anyone else's hands! So thankful for her!! Highly highly recommended!!! ***Update!*** I live in Hawaii, however got married in CA, so Jeanetta was only able to do a couple fittings on me before the big day! When I arrived a week before the wedding and tried on my gown we noticed I lost some weight! (Probably had to do with all the stress of wedding planning/prep). She was so so helpful and fitted the dress perfectly days before the wedding!! She is a saint!! I got so many compliments on how the dress fit me perfectly - all thanks to Jeanetta :) if I ever need alterations in the future, I'm flying back to California! She is so worth it! read more

This is not a review based on services because none were rendered. I made an appointment for my wedding dress in mid December for January. The day before my appointment came and nobody confirmed the appointment. Normally I'd think that was weird except other reviews mentioned she didn't confirm appointments the day before. The day of my appointment comes, I drive an hour to get to Burbank to find nobody at the location. I call and it goes straight to voicemail. I leave a message. I think sometimes people are late no big deal, wait a half hour and still NOTHING. I call again, no answer. I leave another voicemail indicating I'll no longer be using her services although it seems like she forgot I was going to be anyway. Definitely frustrated to have driven an hour out of my way for one thing and then have to drive an hour back not receiving those services. But honestly glad I didn't leave my dress there as she seems very unreliable. Still never received a call back explaining what happened. read more

I found Jeanetta through Bhldn's recommended tailors like many reviewers. To start, my dress required a strap shortening and hemming only. Easy, right? She also suggested adding a bustle to the back. I didn't cross reference her pricing but I thought $200 seemed fair-ish for this work. She delivered the dress on time and it fit great... except that the hem was super uneven. Luckily it's a full skirt on bias so it moved a lot and didn't completely ruin the day, but it bothers me in a lot of our photos. It might have been partly the quality of the dress but I wish she had at least mentioned it to me instead of passing it off as acceptable work. I noticed it in the final fitting but it was only a few days before the wedding and too late to make any adjustments. read more

Jeanetta saved the day by working on my wedding gown ONE MONTH out from my wedding after my original bridal alterations lady ghosted me. She made my high-low gown into a dramatic high-low and made it even more perfect than I could have imagined. I highly recommended working with her. Overall, seamless experience. Friendly, trustworthy, clean work space. read more

Jeanetta was soooo accommodating and so awesome! My wife and I reached out to her only a month or so before our wedding (I know, very last minute). My wife had a gold non-traditional dress that needed the straps shortened and some work done around the bust and back area, and I had a velvet pantsuit that needed some hemming. Even though she only really does bridal dresses, she agreed to help us both with our outfits. We were so happy with the outcome, both of our outfits fit perfectly. Thanks again Jeanetta! read more

STAY AWAY!!! TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE! I came to Jeanetta because she was a preferred vendor of BHLDN. She was extremely RUDE and will make your bridal experience an unpleasant and stressful one. She has no people skills and is very ignorant. She doesn't care to please her customers and kept telling me to take my business elsewhere. My first issue was the cost. After each appt, the price kept going up and up. I explained to her that I'm a young military bride and if she offered any sort of military discount since my husband is an active duty US Marine. She basically laughed in my face. I brushed off her rudeness and let her know I would like to keep the price as low as possible. She was adding so much "extra work" that wasn't necessary to my dress which is why it was so expensive. After my second appt, we got into a disagreement because I couldn't understand why the price was increasing. She told my family "since money is such an issue for you, why don't you take your dress to someone else?" Basically saying we can't afford her work. WHO SAYS THAT TO A PAYING CUSTOMER!? I was in disbelief. She also had no shame in shouting and screaming at us and giving us the most attitude I've ever experienced. After my first appt, I found out I was pregnant and called Jeanetta immediately to let her know so she can pause all work around my waist area (which she hadn't started). After our constant disagreements, she was BLAMING me for becoming pregnant and interfering with her work saying "well it's not my fault she got pregnant!" to my mother! SHE SAID THIS TO MY MOTHER! I had to stop all work and cancel my contract because I couldn't stand to deal with her another day. This woman has the most disgusting attitude and was a nightmare to work with. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY! read more

She hemmed my tricky beaded gown for my event in the time promised and perfectly so that I glided across the stage confidently to accept my two filmmaking guild awards this past Saturday nIght. She had excellent advice about posing for cameras, and how to break in my silver shoes so my feet didn't hurt the night of. Everything was perfect.

The Brides Tailor - I let the bustle loose for the ceremony - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Burbank, California

This review is long overdue! (My wedding was in June). Thank you so much Jeanetta, you did such a superb job with my gown! Jeanetta works wonders! She is very passionate and so knowledgeable about her work. Brides, there is hope if you find your dream dress even though it does not fit perfectly! She will help you in every way possible. I was a little nervous because your wedding gown is something so special and it's hard to trust just anyone with it. Thankfully I found Jeanetta on yelp and I immediately gave her a call after I got my dream gown. Jeanetta was very sweet and honest throughout the whole process. Despite my wedding being 3 months away, she was willing to fix my dress. Her pricing was very reasonable because her work is quality and she really goes through every detail of your gown, including the bustle! And there were no surprise fees at the end! Gown: My gown was apparently 4 sizes bigger than my actual size and she fixed it to where it fit me like a glove. She worked through all of the layers, the beading, and the lace. The end result was absolutely stunning! Everyone, including myself, couldn't believe that this was a dress that did not fit me before. Backstory: For my wedding I was supposed to get a dress fit to my size, but in the end I had a bad experience with that vendor (too long of a story). I was left with no choice but to find a dress at a boutique that offered dresses off-the-rack since my wedding was only about 3 months away. These places have beautiful gowns but the only downside is that it is very rare to find the perfect fit. But as I mentioned, there is hope with Jeanetta! :) read more

First off, my dress was not ready until the absolute last day I needed it, the day I was traveling to my wedding destination! This was only TWO days before my wedding day. Luckily, the dress fit well. At my reception, the bustle on my train ripped the fabric and caused two holes in my train. After the wedding I got in contact with Jeanette letting her know what happened and we set up an appointment for me to bring the dress back to her so she can fix the rips/holes in my train. I was not upset with her and did not blame her as I know my train was very long and heavy. I showed up for my appointment but she was no where to be found. I called and texted, no answer. I followed up a couple weeks later and still no answer. Looks like she has ghosted me and is refusing to fix the dress. I'm pissed because not only did the dress rip due to her work but Burbank is not close to my home. I wasted time off from work and gas just to be stood up. If you didn't want to fix the dress just say that! Future brides, I would go with a different tailor. read more

I want to say that the first few months were great. Jeanette did great with a few alterations, until the week of my wedding. I HIGHLY recommend that you try on your dress for the last time in front of her because she ended up altering the wrong section. Of course she denied that or accused me of gaining weight (when I actually lost another 3 more pounds), but as a professional, she should of encouraged me to try it on anyways before handing it to me. Anyways, the problem occurred the day before my wedding when I decided to try on my dress at home (i had a weird feeling in my gut) and realized she altered the back when she was suppose to alter the sides. Thank god my MOH knew about the 24/7 alteration place in Burbank. They saved my dress! The problems didn't end there. My bustle broke, my belt broke (because she didn't do a good job on sewing it) and my bird cage veil did not stay in place when I specifically asked her to use alligator clips. Instead, she argued that she's not a professional veil maker! Well lady, if you can't listen to your customers that know their hair type well or do the job correctly, then don't offer the services! I called her immediately the day after my wedding. I sent her pictures for weeks. She argued and accused me of trying to get my wedding finances back, or that non of this was her fault and blaming it on me or the alteration place that literally saved my dress! In the end, she FINALLY sent me a check and wrote on it that it was the amount that we agreed too. NO IT WASN'T! I never agreed to getting that little back, I wanted half of my money back! So if you get your wedding dress alteration with Jeanette, my advice is to know a back up alteration place, try on the dress in front of her, make sure you have a lot of safety pins to hold your dress because your bustle might break, have a lot of bobby pins because your veil might fall, and needle/thread to sew on your own belt. I don't mean to be rude and hardly ever write bad reviews. But its a shame that Jeanette could not own up to her mistakes after I provided soooo many pictures and proof of how my dress fell apart. I barely got my money back and couldn't get the bank to help me out because I paid through a check. Please be super careful. Just because she's had 30 plus years experience does not mean that she does a good job. read more

Met to see if alterations could be done to a 70's wedding dress for my soon to be daughter in law. The meeting was quick, honest, reasonable. Will post after as my daughter in law arrives into the U.S. Fittings and all alterations have to be completed on a very tight time schedule for her to fly out again. Completed job (Wow!). What a wonderful job. Done by one of the sweetest ladies I have met. I was not there for the pick up on the final product to see all the details (hems) but I will post the before and 2nd fitting not the final for you to see. First visit picture dress with long sleeves and neck high old fashion lace. Turned into no sleeves low neckline with lace added to the back. I would use her again and highly recommend her! Great job Jeanette. As in any business I make sure communication is clear. We paid 1/2 up front in a check and balance (cash) upon picking up of the final finished product. At which time Jeanette provided a written receipt for the cash payment. She also purchased a high quality strapless bar for her that was not needed. The quality was so nice and the price so good we decided to purchase it anyway. It does look so much better with it. A Wedding shop would be more than double. Jeanette prices are low considering others shops. Our quoted price increased from our first meeting without the bride and only the dress and I to see what options were possible. But upon first fitting additional items came to light that increased her work. Little additions here and there, but not a dime more than she quoted after seeing the dress on the bride to be and the extra items. All approved before work was started. Sadly I would recommend to her that customers sign off on detailed paperwork. To avoid reviews like one I read. As for the negative reviews I always consider what is being asked for. Does it sound reasonable. We found Jeanette to be happy and pleasant to work with. She has great vision and provided several options and price lines. read more

Wow is all that I can say! So thankful for Jeanetta and the work of art she put into my dress. I loved my dress from the minute I tried it in but the material was so thin and hugged in all the wrong places. Anything I asked Jeanetta to do she said yes without hesitation. I live in Huntington Beach and it was well worth the drive to her LA location. Jeanetta was able to add a slip into my dress, she added breast cups, made my dress hug me perfectly, and even made tulle wings that clipped onto my dress for the reception. MY DRESS FIT LIKE A GLOVE! She made me feel like an angel. I did not have one insecurity going into my wedding day and the amount of compliments I got on my dress were unreal.

I would definitely recommend! Jeanetta was great to work with and I could tell she really wanted to help turn my dress into the best it could be for my wedding. I've heard how alterations in general can be ridiculously priced, but her prices were extremely reasonable. I appreciate how she listed out the cost of everything needing adjustments at the first fitting and didn't add in any surprise costs after. I also ended up buying my veil from her which was perfect, and once again, much better priced than anywhere else I checked. read more

Jeanetta did an amazing job on my wedding dress. I want everyone who reads yelp to be wary of the bad reviews that were said about her. I was at first really nervous but a friend recommended her to me. Jeanetta is very professional and is very knowledgeable on how to alter wedding dresses. She was the one who guided me to choosing the French bustle because it looked the best with my dress. There were 3 alteration appointments and Jeanetta let me pay in 1/3's for the alteration at each appointment. She was so patient and understanding and she made my dress fit my body like a glove. I got so many compliments about my dress the day of the wedding. She also was the one who picked out my wedding veil that matched my dress perfectly. Thank you Jeanetta, for being an amazing tailor and making my dress perfect for my wedding day! read more

When you're looking for someone to provide alterations for the most expensive and most important gown you'll ever own in your life, it's pretty nerve wrecking. When I first me Jeanetta, she immediately put me at ease. She is the sweetest person ever and will give you an honest and fair opinion regarding your alterations. I wanted cap sleeves added to my gown and was worried it might make it look "piece-y" but Jeanetta's skill proved me wrong. The best part was the bustle on my dress. I truly had a fairy tale gown on the day of my wedding and it was breathtaking. I had so many people commenting on the bustle and the gown that I was more than happy that I chose Jeanetta to do my alterations. Also, to address the comments here regarding communication- She is a ONE woman shop. Yes, she does take time to call you back sometimes, but shes working on making your gown look FABULOUS. A little flexibility can go a long way! read more

Jeanetta was the absolute best. She was recommended to me from a friend and fellow bride who looked amazing on her day. Jeanetta was extremely supportive on what I wanted to do and super knowledgeable on what was needed based on my timeline. She was always accommodating whenever I got nervous and felt like trying on the dress one or two more times before the big day. She was so sweet and fun to be around. She knows her stuff. She even recommended me specific undergarments that complemented my dress and exactly where to buy them. I was most nervous about fitting into my dress and she made it work. She gave me tips on how to walk in a gown and how to operate the bustle. In the end, I truly felt 100% confident and beautiful on the big day all thanks to her and her team of magic makers. She is generous on pricing and worth every drive from downtown LA to Burbank. She also had time to hem/steam my rehearsal dress as well as repair my veil! I am forever ever grateful. THANK YOU! read more

I needed my wedding dress bustled last minute. I was not sure what I wanted and this place definitely did the trick. I wanted something simple but elegant for my destination (tropical) wedding and needed a bustle that my fiancé (now husband) could help me do. I was advised to go to with a bustle for my train and a French bustle for the interior skirt to best accentuate the shape of my train and dress when I wanted it up. It was great and I received many compliments. To top of it off, I knew something felt slightly off about the shoulders of my dress but I never said anything because I didn't know what to say. But once I stepped though the door, she was able to identify the issue right away and also fixed it along with adding the bustle. read more
