My next trip will be for shortening the sleeves on two coats so I'm curious what that will cost. Good idea to get a quote at the time of drop off as someone suggested below. I don't like $ surprises!

Never heard from her and went ahead and picked them up on my own at the two week mark.

I highly…read morerecommend her if you're getting something complicated or special done i.e. customizing a suit or alternating a wedding dress. I however had brought in a simple cotton tank dress. I only needed it to be hemmed up at the bottom as I do with everything because I'm short and take the straps up at the top. Both these actions I could had hand sewn myself had I had the time but that is how simple the alternation was to give you an idea. I didn't think to ask how much it would cost because I've never paid more than $10 maybe $15 for something like this. When I showed up to get the dress, she charged me $40!!! To top it off, she said she had given me a special price!? I can't even imagine how much she was originally going to charge me! I live in San Francisco and I've had 3 pairs of jeans hemmed (keeping the original hem) and it never came to $40 bucks! The dress in question didn't even cost that much. Needless to say, I'm happy with the work but very upset at what I consider price gouging. I feel like if I had asked up front about the cost, it would had been significantly less and she took advantage of the fact that I didn't. Just be forewarned when you visit the shop or I suppose any shop that you ask how much it will cost or you will end up with a nicely fitted item that you paid 3x what it's actually worth.

So I went back to ask for her to shorten my new trousers, and then to sew back the handle on my suede bag. All was done perfectly. For the bag, she unstitched the lining to work from inside the bag, so that the finished product looks good as new. She's open on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Her door is at the back of the Cobblery on Cal Ave so easy to get to but you have to know it's there!

I dropped off my dress and waited while she worked her magic. Her shop is conveniently located near Chavez Market in Atherton, which made the wait enjoyable.. I even grabbed some delicious Mexican food next door and even had time to get my nails done. The shop itself is adorable, and Lillyam speaks both Spanish and English, making communication easy. Her prices are very reasonable, especially for this area of the Bay. Most importantly, the quality of her work is excellent. While chatting with her, I learned that she has been altering clothing since she was 14 years old and has spent years helping support her family through her craft. That experience and dedication really show in her work. I am so happy with the results and will definitely be returning for future alterations. Highly recommend!

It really pains me to write this, but I was really disappointed in the quality of the wedding dress…read moreVictoria had made me. Unless you have a design in mind that is very different, non-traditional, and nothing like a wedding dress you'd find in the store, I wouldn't recommend going to her. See photos. When I tried on the dress for the last time before taking it home, I pointed out to Victoria that there were some unflattering creases around the bust area. She just told me I need to stop slouching, so I arched my back & stood up straight as I could, which made the front appear smooth. However, during the wedding, I quickly forgot about keeping my shoulder blades pinched together... later on I was mortified when I saw the photos my relatives had took. Every single photo had the same unflattering flap in front of my chest. I get really bummed out now when I look at my wedding photos, which is so sad! If I'd have known it would turn out like this, I would have gone with a Davids' Bridal or a Jenny Yoo dress.....would have been way cheaper than what I paid too. Theater costumes, corsets, etc may be a completely different story, I can only speak for how she did with the wedding dress design I gave her.

Victoria has made several pieces for me now, and I love, love, LOVE her. As the previous reviewer…read morestated, she is certainly a tailor of dreams. My first piece with her was an Elizabethan gown. I provided the fabric and she sketched a design for me. We work long distance, but this certainly works out fine. I was thrilled with the end result, and continue to get compliments each time I wear the gown to events. The outfit consisted of a bodice, an overskirt, three sets of sleeves and two underskirts, and a hat. All of this was lined and trimmed with the trim I provided. All of this was done with only one fitting. My second piece is, so far, my favorite. I wanted a Victorian bustle gown for an event. I found the perfect fabric and sent it to Victoria, telling her..."go wild." I saw no sketches for it, and was excited to see what I would get back. Wow! What I got in return was an absolutely gorgeous gown that I couldn't even have imagined. When I wore it to the event, everyone went absolutely crazy for it. The attention to detail is amazing, from the knife pleating, to the hand-dyed lace, to the gorgeous glass buttons. This outfit was four pieces: a corset, a bodice, the skirt (and bustle pad), and a hat to match it all. The hat, might I add, is stunning. When I need another piece, she will definitely be the one to go to. I have seen other people in her work, as well as pictures, and the woman is simply a costuming goddess. Thank you, Victoria!

Her idea for pining the bottom up made my dress look really beautiful. It was a thin fabric so you couldn't add one hook. She really has an eye for detail and best of all she was to complete my dress in under 2 weeks. I had another tailor recommended by Glamour Closet but with COVID going on she kept cancelling on me. Victoria really was a life saver and she didn't let me leave the store until my dress looked perfect. She even had some suggestions on how to wear my sticky bra as I was doing it all wrong. Amazing work! Thank you again!!!
