My interactions with Toyo were great! I contacted her regarding getting a dress altered and she responded promptly and honestly. She was very professional and straightforward, and she recommended getting my alterations done elsewhere. I frequently pass by this place and will be thinking of her. If this changes, please update. read more

I went a few years ago. She is the best, good work, personable and reasonable prices. Great service. I was looking for her recently, her sign is still up on her shop but she was closed and her phone is disconnected. I pray she is ok because she is a kind person. If anyone has any information, please share. read more

Toyo put a button on a coat and it was ready within an hour or two. I have used her services before and she does wonderful work, good prices too. Would definitely recommend her. read more

Toyo is fair with pricing and very good at her job. I highly recommend her. I've gone to her at least twice.

I dropped in to have my new jeans hemmed. Service was polite and she had it done in a few days seeing as how she was closed for a few days. Alterations were on point and it was $12. read more

I was referred to Toyo's by my cousin who has recently started using her services. I was aprehensive since it was about a 15 minute drive (which is more then I'd like to drive for things like this), she was totally worth it. She's super kind and friendly and knew exactly what the garment needed. I needed a gown altered since it was too long and a bit tight on the waist. She was able to make the proper adjustments and make it fit perfect! I brought it in on Friday and it was ready to go on Monday. I paid $40 which I thought was fair, given the amount of fabric and lining on the dress! I received many compliments on the dress and the fit made it comfortable to wear all night! read more

Toyo's Alterations - The garment in question. Just perfect! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Pedro, California

I dropped off a jacket to have two small pieces of velcro replaced on the sleeves and I paid in advance. Now it's been 7 days later, the 30 minute job still isn't done and no alterations have been done. Clearly this job was forgotten about and instead of accountability, I was given an excuse. If you want fast service, go somewhere else. read more

My daughter and I were looking (last minute) for dress alterations. My son's wedding was the week after Thanksgiving and we were in a time crunch! We looked online and most places were closed until the Monday after Thanksgiving. Happened to see Toyo's and it was local. The shop is a little cramped looking but don't let that sway you. Fast, fair-priced, and quality alterations is what you will find! I will definitely be back anytime I need alterations. I highly recommend Toyo's. read more

Quality work and reasonable prices. The turnaround time was just a few days. The owner was also nice.

Toyo is terrific! I brought a pair of jeans in for some minor adjustments/repairs, and was very pleased with every aspect of her alterations service. + My jeans were altered to an absolutely perfect fit; Chizuko's the gold standard when it comes to tailoring! The new fit of my denim was exactly what I had been hoping for - and the pictures prove it! + Pricing is very fair and reasonable; you'll most certainly be getting your money's worth here! No need to stress about breaking the bank. Toyo is an absolute joy to do business with; she's one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Will happily be providing repeat business in the future! PRO TIP: Cash-only! Be sure and swing by the ATM before claiming your item(s). read more

Toyo's Alterations - The wizardry of good tailoring! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Pedro, California

New to the area and wanted to use a small business. Dropped off a couple of pairs of jeans that needed hemming mid-morning on a Tuesday. Told her it was no rush, she offered Friday afternoon for pick. Friday comes and goes with no call or anything. Shop is closed Saturday through Monday. On Tuesday morning I called her when the shop opened. She apologized and promised the pants would be ready by end of day. Showed up at 4:30; she was surprised to see me. Pants still not done (still exactly where they were when I dropped them off). I took my pants back and will find someone more professional. The disarray of clothing everywhere and my pants just thrown onto a heap with a loose note with my contact info should have clued me when I first walked in. The fact that a tailor/seamstress is so unorganized and imprecise is shocking. NOT RECOMMENDED. read more

She is very talented and does great work for a reasonable price. We had two weddings... one in the states and one in Mexico. She worked on both dresses and I'm so impressed. She's professional and friendly too. read more

Toyo's Alterations - Vietnamese dress - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Pedro, California

Long story short- My wedding dress was botched by another seamstress (NOT TOYO) TWO WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING! The previous seamstress took the dress in WAY too much, leaving no fabric to make any changes AND stitched the seam crooked instead of straight. With no extra fabric left, we had very little options to salvage the dress. In a panic, my wedding planner and I reached out to TOYO to see if there was anything that could be done to save my wedding dress. She responded to us immediately and said she would squeeze me in the very next day. She turned my dress (that I thought I was going to have to throw away) into the dress of my dreams. She is so kind, hard working, and a magical seamstress! I can't recommend anyone more than Toyo!! She truly is the best around! && she also took one of my extra bridesmaids dresses and made all the groomsman matching bow ties (with two weeks notice)! she truly is amazing! read more

I came to this place to get some pants altered and the owner had me try on the pants with heels, then she proceeded to tell me how much length should be taken off the pants. She didn't rush me and took her time showing me what she was going to do and how much length she was going to take off the pants. I felt I could trust her and know that if I take clothing to her, she knows exactly what to do and won't ruin them. She'll make them look their best. She's experienced and very good at what she does. She's very professional. read more

Toyo's Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Pedro, California

I brought in 7 pieces to be altered. Pants, dresses and blouse. Chizuko is an artist! All the pieces were altered perfectly. The prices were far better than the high prices at my cleaners who did mediocre work. Chizuko's workmanship is flawless. She is a keeper and I'm spreading the word.... read more

Very reasonable prices and the tailor was very skilled. She was also able to make my alterations within a reasonable amount of time.

I went into Toyo needing a suit a last minute hem on my pants and sleeve alteration on my suit jacket. After finding out from several others that she was the best in town, I figured there was no better option. She got it done for me with time to spare and the fit was excellent! The price you pat for her experience is very fair and she delivers on her promise! Will definitely be going to her for any future needs. read more

My German Shepherd Dog was so excited to see me return home, he jumped up and gave me a hug... and as he was pulling away... one of his nails got hung up and ripped the seam open on one of my favorite shirts. Toyo's Alterations saved the day! I brought the shirt to Toyo and she seamed it right up - my favorite shirt was saved!!! read more

Toyo is fantastic. Very nice and easy to work with. I will keep going back and definitely recommend.

She has been incredibly helpful to me in the past, her services were quick and very affordable. I highly recommend her.

Toyo's is my go-to for alterations. Chizuko is genuinely sweet and kind, and is careful and thoughtful in her consultations. We always have a nice chat, and she consistently does a fantastic job altering my dresses. Her pricing is reasonable, and she is prompt and upfront about her charges and return times. There is street parking out front and across the street, and limited spaces behind the building. read more

I has never used an alteration service because I thought it would be too expensive but this was an emergency. I needed a simple alteration but I needed it very quickly. I was surprised how reasonable the price was and how quickly the job was completed. I will definitely go back! read more

Never thought I would move to San Pedro and find my favorite place for alterations, but I did! I brought in some jiujitsu gi's that needed to be shortened. The material is thick and tough to work with and I've been rejected by multiple tailors. Toyo's was not only experienced with the material, but also went above and beyond. Thank you SO much! She is definitely my go-to for everything now! read more

If you need any alterations done, this is the place to come to. Reasonable pricing, timely and great work.

The owner is an absolute sweetheart. She added a slit to my dress (with nightmarish material) and did a fantastic job. She also tailored my fiancé's suit fixing sleeve and pant length. The buttons were sown on perfectly. Her work is beautiful. Side note: we initially wanted to open up the back of his suit a little bit more to fix some minor bunching. Instead of taking the extra money for a job that wouldn't do much, she explained the problem area wouldn't be solved by opening it up. We really appreciated the honesty she gave us!! The turn over time was very short! We dropped it off Friday and got it Back Tuesday afternoon. (Sunday's and Monday's she is closed). The prices were incredibly fair too. We cannot wait to come back! read more

Toyo is the BEST! I lived in San Pedro for almost 2 years and took several garments to Toyo for alterations. Her work was consistently on point, thoughtfully done, and so beautiful! You will not go wrong interesting your garments with her. read more
