Executive Alterations & Formal Wear

I came here in desperation of getting a maxi dress altered within 2 days! It was on a Tuesday that I dropped by and I had a wedding for that very weekend.
I was a little hesitant because Unilocal rated this place as «$$», which I had no idea how pricey it would be. I was attracted to the other positive Unilocal reviews since I didn’t want to risk having a bad, permanent trim of a dress. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the alteration that I needed was not that bad at all! Lydia worked with me and it was a simple maxi dress that had two layers of fabric. My dress was altered perfectly fine.
I tried on my dress at the store — with the heels I planned to wear with it — and Lydia suggested me to cut an inch off from the dress. Before trying it on, she quoted $ 10 more because we assumed both layers needed to be cut, but then the price dropped because the inner layer of the dress was shorter and need not to be trimmed. Since I asked for 2-​day alterations, she added 40% of the original cost: total for this job was $ 22.40. Not too bad! I paid before I left that day and received a call when the dress was ready.
Lydia offered for me to try it on when I picked it up, so she’s willing to work with you and see if you are happy with the alterations. I felt like the store was a very welcoming environment and easy to get to. The store also sells formal attire and advertises that there are formal dresses as low as $ 15. I definitely would recommend this place and I would come back again!

I’ve brought many jackets here and have been satisfied with the results in alterations of sleeve length and fit around the body. She’s worked on, cotton, linen, nylon, leather, and wool coats. If there is an issue, she’ll take it back and correct it until satisfied. She’s really helped me get a lot more usability and personal satisfaction out of my wardrobe. A very huge thank you

I’ve taken two items here for alternation. I’ve been satisfied so far. Thanks. I wanted my dresses shorter because I am on the petite side. Owner seems knowledgeable and makes helpful suggestions based on its material. The two dresses I had alternated cost around 300 each, and they fit great after.

Very expensive. Published prices were misleading. I had a single layer dress hemmed and I was charged much more than I expected. Her reasoning was that it was a «name brand item.» I’m sorry, but that makes zero difference! I will not return.

Lydia has been doing alterations for our family for years, and just altered our daughter’s wedding gown. She did a beautiful job, and she was (as she always is) very responsive to our needs and concerns. I totally trust her skill and her concern for her customers, and would not hesitate to recommend her!

Great service. I’ve had pants hemmed. And also had a jack taken in. Great job all around with both things. Service isn’t the cheapest, but you get the job done right and when they say they’ll have it done.

Lydia was helpful and giving her most honest opinion for my alterations. She and her staff are very friendly and did a good job. I am very satisfied with the alterations. The price was fair and the turn around time was also reasonable.

In addition to formal wear Lydia does an excellent job with uniforms. Most Class A (formal), Class B (semi-​formal), and Class C (informal) uniforms for civil service positions require special measurements and additions which promote efficacy during job related tasks. Examples include: microphone wire holes, zipper closures, velcro shirt pockets, patches, slim fit or wide fit for equipment storage on the torso, etc.
In my opinion, It also helps that Lydia is very kind, patient, and open to feedback while discussing alterations. I’ve lived outside of yolo county for the past 7 years and I still take my alterations and dry cleaning to Lydia. I’ve tried 3 other alterations services and have been disappointed.

I was very impressed with the alterations done on my 91-​year old father’s sport jacket. It was perfectly tailored in all of the right places to fit him. I will definetly take all future alteration and sewing needs to Executive Alterations! Highly recommend it.

Over the past few months, I have had about 15 alterations on pants, dresses, tops and jackets. All alterations are beautifully done and always timely.

Lydia was really helpful and precise on the alterations. I would definitely bring more formal clothes here to get them altered by Lydia.

I’ve been looking for a tailor in Davis and was happy to see all the positive reviews on Unilocal for Executive Alterations. Took a pair of pants to be hemmed and was happy with results. The following week I took in two more pants with the same happy results. I’ll be going through my closet to find more suits that need adjustment. Clearly I’m returning and recommend Lydia to others. Lydia is professional, prompt, and has fair fees.

EXCELLENT seamstress work — and she was willing to do a rush job very quickly. She was both friendly and professional, gave good advice regarding the fit and finish of the garment to be altered. Be prepared — she is not cheap — but in this case you definitely get what you pay for — I have had clothes damaged beyond repair by other outfits.

Lydia is who you need to see! She is very kind and offers excellent customer service!

Excellent, professional alterations!

FANTASTIC service, friendly, excelent sewing at a fair price. Clean, well lit, nice décor. This is my place to go for alteratuons and repairs. I have been going to Lydia for my sewing needs for over 5 years and followed her over from the dry cleaner where they had a small shop.
On a seperate note they have a nice selection of prom/​party dresses at very reasonable prices. Worth taking a look.

Have use had the BEST experience using Lydia as our alterations go to person here in Davis! She knows more then just alterations as she’s helped with replacing zippers on our dog beds and repairing other blankets & throws.
Lydia also carries some dresses from formal to casual so if you need a slightly used (very clean) dress I suggest you pop in and look at her collection!
I HIGHLY recommend this place to any everyone & everyone :)

Beautiful shop, but I feel like the services were on the expensive side. When I read about a $ 5 hem, I assumed the rest of the alterations were affordable as well. I was quite surprised at the final tally.
Brought in a bridesmaid dress (ordered «made to measure» online that ended up being 2 sizes too large) as well as two flower girl dresses that needed 2 inches hemmed.
Hemming two inches off each flower girl dress (size 2 and size 4 little girl) was $ 38 a piece. The dresses cost me $ 50 each, so a simple hem was over half the price of the dress. I was crunched for time so went ahead with it.
I was quoted $ 172 to take the bridesmaid dress in and up! The original price of the dress was only $ 124, so the alterations cost more than the dress! This was very hard to stomach.
Granted, the bridesmaid dress had a lot of beading and a bit of a train, so there was a lot of fabric to work with… but this still seemed quite expensive to me.
TOTAL Cost: $ 248 — for (1) bridesmaid dress alteration & (2) hemmed flower girl dresses. Ouch.

Grand opening of the 4^th location by the owner of Executive Cleaners, with this one solely focused on alterations and formalwear, no dry cleaning.
Spacious room and dressing rooms, full-​length mirror and a comfortable waiting area make this a great place to come for alterations. The owner, Lydia, is an amazing tailor who I’ve gone to for many years. I’m planning to have wedding dress alterations done here.

Every well dressed person needs a tailor he can trust. On balance, every dollar spent at the tailor will do more for your appearance than every dollar spent on clothing.
For some time now Lydia has been that tailor for me. She’s adept at all the basic and not so basic alterations such as hemming, taking jackets and shirts in, letting them out, shortening them, etc.
She’s fast and charges a fair price. For those clueless about what alterations they need, she shows good judgment in her recommendations. For those who know exactly how they want their clothes to fit, she’s always capable and accommodating (which is rarer than you might think, some tailors can be quite stubborn about how they personally think your clothes should fit).
