I’ve had clothing altered here before. Always have done an excellent job and in a timely manner. Today I took in a jacket that was ripped at the seam in the underarm. They repaired it on the spot for me free of charge. I will continue to give my business to this establishment. Excellent service!

I absolutely love this place! I have come here a few times to have items altered and every time, without fail, the work is flawless! The owners are really kind and take great care in their service. On my most recent visit, I brought in two pairs of jeans to have some ripped seams re-​sewn. I picked them up a week later to find that not only did she fix the seams perfectly, but she also sewed up the holes around the belt loops that I forgot to mention at drop off (no extra charge). Such thoughtful service! Thank you, thank you!

I picked this place because of its reviews and it was close to my house and work! I took my wedding dress in there to get the arms taken in because they were to big! Michelle is great she is very nice and has great energy! She also steamed my dress for no additional charge! If i ever need anything else altered I will return!

Needed a last minute alteration on a pair of dress pants that I need to wear for a wedding the next day. I brought them here and they were able to get them done the same day and they were done perfectly. Definitely going back everyone was very friendly.

This place was wonderful. I recently was a bridesmaid in a wedding that was quickly approaching. I needed my dress altered fast. Not only was the owner extremely nice, but did a wonderful job on it. The hem was perfect – I couldn’t even tell that any work had been done on it until I tried it on!

This place is wonderful. In addition to fixing my wedding gown they also did an awesome job taking in my husbands vest. Thank you for making my wedding day perfect.

This place is awesome! The owner is so kind, sweet and funny, and is extremely good at what she does! I’m a shorty, only 5’2″ so I have to get EVERYTHING hemmed. I’ve already taken 6 pairs of pants here to be hemmed and she’s done a fantastic job with all of them.
Bottom line, I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking tailoring or alterations. Honestly. Great customer service. Meticulous alterations. More than fair prices.

I had such a wonderful experience here. The owner Michelle is the nicest, sweetest person. I brought in a golf net that needed a strap repaired and she took care of it on the spot (versus the week that she estimated). She also charged me a very fair rate. You could tell she really loves her customers and enjoys what she’s doing. I will be back for some more great service.

I drove a long way to see Michelle based on a friend’s referral and could not have been happier by the professional, friendly, efficient service she provided; she has a keen eye and a skilled hand, comfortable store and changing rooms. I am very happy to continue my patronage.

Wow! Incredible service and skill at an affordable price– I needed a last minute alteration on an outfit for a wedding on Saturday. I came in on Thursday morning and it was ready as promised by Saturday morning. Impeccable workmanship, perfect fit — I will now bring everything that requires altering here!

I brought two pairs of dress pants in, one to get the length shortened and the other I needed a few changes to make them fit better. I was so amazed on what a good job she did that I brought 2 more pairs of dress pants in for some work, one which she fixed on the spot!

I had bought a suit last minute on a Thursday for a wedding that I had to attend on Saturday. I was in a bind to find someone that could at least shorten the sleeves on the jacket. I called over here 15 minutes before they were supposed to close and the owner said she would keep the store open to wait for me. To my surprise, she said she could do the whole suit by Saturday mid morning. When I got there on Saturday, the suit was done, and looked phenomenal. I was really grateful not only for the craftsmanship, but also their hospitality. All my tailoring goes here from now on.

The woman that works here is so nice! I had two pairs of jeans hemmed here and they did a great job. Fast turn around time. Decent priced. She even let me come in a couple mins earlier then opening time to pick them up. Will definitely return!

Michelle (who I think is the owner) is truly great! I had an emergency last week where I needed to get my suit tailored asap (had big presentation following day at CSUSM and didn’t even realize how big suit really was on me).
I called her at noon and she was able to get it done within five hours after I told her about my situation.
She was super friendly and once I picked up my suit, she had me try it on and it came out perfect. She’s really is awesome at what she does, she told me she’d been at that location for 20 years.
Great service and price, I’d def. go back.
Thank you Michelle!

What a wonderful tailor — she does superb quality work, has an eye to make everything fit perfectly. Having done work for all of our family, I recommend them highly. If I could give more than 5 stars — it would be easily double that.
