“Excellent alterations at a fair price! They replaced a zipper on a pair of jeans and also made long sleeves short on a dress because who needs to wear long sleeves now in hot San Diego? I highly recommend them and they're quick if you need it.”

“I came in for a hem on some slacks. They took me in right away and were friendly and agreeable. They agreed to do a rush job for me with no fuss at all. I’m leaving this review before I even see the finished product, but I’m really happy so far!”

“Quick, high quality tailoring! If you need to try on the item for hemming, I recommend calling in advance or coming earlier in the day to confirm that the alterations specialist is available. My pants and ballgown were hemmed perfectly within 5 days. A great spot with friendly staff.”

“Have gone here for all my tailoring and always have a good experience. They did extensive alterations on an expensive coat that I bought and it came out beautifully. Great prices for jean alterations and new zippers. It's the only place I will go to.”

“I had a dress hemmed and taken out just a small amount. Now it not only looks great but fits my body so well. I think they did amazing work and appreciate the quick turnaround. I will be recommending this place to others for dress alterations.”

“I can't say enough about this place, the owner,the people that work there. All so nice so patient. I had a discontinued complicated wrist brace that I need a duplicated. I went to countless places trying to get some help some guidance. They were the first place that said they would help me. It was a four stage process that they helped me through. Worked with me while I sat right there to make sure it was exactly what I wanted tried it on adjusted it reinforced it multiple times till it was just perfect. They really know what they're doing I can't recommend them enough”
