Nancy Tailoring

A great place to get your clothing tailored. I got two pants hemmed for $ 16. I was in a hurry and the owner was able to complete my order in about 1 hour 30 minutes. She did a great job and I’ll be sure to return in the future.

Nancy does great work! As someone who cannot sew, it is lovely to have someone so talented so close by. Her services are cheap and she does an excellent job. I would highly recommend her.

I just moved from west side. I found this place through the Unilocal.She was very kind and gives attention to detail. I am so glad that I found this place.

Nancy is the sweetest lady and she does a wonderful job in all her alterations! She has more than thirty years of experience in sewing and gives great attention to detail!
Note: they also have po boxes for rent!

Nancy is awesome! She’s not a big talker, but she gets the job done well for a great price! She has altered jeans, sewed a leather purse back together, and altered a few dresses for me over the years. All for an amazingly low price. =)

I prefer Quick Fit Tailor, a few blocks away, over Nancy Tailoring. The first time I came here, it was on Veterans Day Monday and Quick Fit Tailor was unexpectedly closed. Instead, I found Nancy Tailoring on Unilocal and gave it a shot. The shop looks like a long, walk-​in-​closet with a counter in the middle.
_​_​THE CLOTHES_​_​
— A sports jacket to have its sleeves shortened. The tailor mumbled she couldn’t do anything about it, because of the placement of the buttons on the sleeve. So, that was the end of that. Except that I have since taken the jacket to Quick Fit Tailor, instead, where he also conveyed the same problem, but was able to do a creative solution for me.
— A pair of slacks that needed one pant leg to simply be re-​hemmed because it had come apart. Simple.
— 2 pants that were too loose, and needed to lose about 1 – 2 inches off the waist. After taking to Nancy Tailoring, they fit much more comfortably now and I have not had any complaints. I am very happy with the end product.
_​_​THE CHANGING ROOM_​_​
It’s actually about a 2FT x 2FT curtained off area in the middle of the room. Awkward, and really ghetto.
_​_​SERVICE_​_​
Nancy is a woman of few words. No greeting when I came in. About 5 – 10 total mumbled English words came out of her mouth my first visit. After seeing some of the reviews about how her English is bad, I then thought: «OK, Mandarin speaker. I can handle that.» When I came back afterwards to pick up my clothes, I thought I would try to be friendly and talk to her in Mandarin instead. However, even talking to her in Mandarin, I still got only about 5 – 10 mumbled Mandarin words out of her on the 2^nd visit. She also has a super poker-​face which she wears the whole time.
_​_​PRICING_​_​
CASH ONLY.
-$ 3 for the single pant leg that needed to be re-​hemmed… honestly, I imagine that someone with a sewing machine could do it in about 20 seconds. I obviously am too lazy to learn to do this myself, because I accepted her quoted price for these 20 seconds of her time. Imagine… that’s like $ 9/​minute… $ 540/​hour… $ 4,320 for an 8 hour day… $ 21,600 for a 5 day work-​week… $ 1,123,200 for a 52-​week year! At this price, she could have at least done the work for me right then and there. But she didn’t.
-$ 7 for each pair of pants that needed its waist adjusted. I feel like this price is good. Quick Fit Tailor charges $ 8 – 9.
_​_​COME BACK?__
No. Although I am happy with the work she did for me, I will avoid coming back here. Her silent treatment is weird, the 2×2 changing area is uncomfortable, she only takes cash, and communication is terrible. Also, she says she closes at 6pm, but her hours are not consistent. I originally came back 2 days later to pick up my clothes at 5:45PM (she said she closes at 6PM), but at 5:45PM the place was already locked up and dark. I was forced to drive back another day instead. I highly suggest calling in advance if you are going to come near closing-​time.

how do i contact the tailor? i brought a 2 pairs of pants here but I cannot pick up my pants during normal work hours. I tried the phone number on the Unilocal site but it doesn’t work. when can i pick up my pants? Thank you! i will remove this review once I receive my pants

i asked nancy to sew a shirt w an open sleeve design on the arm part, she did exactly wat i asked for.
also to cut open a dress with pants sewed in, and make the pants into a skirt.
she did a nice job too!

I took two prom dresses to Nancy for alternations. She did a beautiful job and had the dresses done in a few days. Her prices are reasonable. I sew so I can tell when a tailor knows what they are doing and if they are over-​charging. In the past I have taken clothes downtown L.A. for alternations, but now that I found Nancy I will continue to go to her for alternations.

I took my new dress blues pants in the get a hem and have blood stripes sewn on. i understand that not many places away from a base have sewn on stripes before, but I even brought an old pair so that she can see how it’s done. She told me that she could only do it if she sewed the pockets shut. (At least I think that what she said because her English was horrible) What?

Nancy rocks! I always brink my jeans here for hemming, she does a wonderful job. I messed up once and had Nordstroms hem some pants I bought there and they didn’t do as good of a job as Nancy does, I will never go anywhere else. Her prices are very reasonable and she has them done in a few days. I live far from her now but still drive out of my way to go to her, she also has other services there such as mail boxes and dry cleaning.
