    I found Darya via Yelp and reached out for a quote. She's super sweet, easy to work with, replies…read morefast, is honest, and is extremely knowledgable in wedding dress alterations. Darya was very helpful is suggesting what kind of changes we could make to my original dress and how to also make it more flattering for my body type. She is familiar in working with different types of fabrics and her alterations come out seamless. Wedding dress alterations are pricey, but with Darya... all of the adjustments are worth it. Fun fact: she used to work in costume design for broadway before things were forced to close down due to the pandemic!

    I have the most gorgeous open back dress that needed some tailoring and I wanted to add a ribbon…read moreacross the back just for a little more security. Enter Darya. She is so incredibly talented, her work is seamless. The fabric of this dress felt very delicate and drape-y; the alterations, nor the ribbon addition changed anything about that. It fits me like a glove and I have honestly never felt more beautiful in a dress. I also took in a one-shoulder Halston jumpsuit. It had been sitting in my closet for years because I just couldn't pull it off. Darya created a second strap from the same fabric, and it looks amazing, so chic. The wide strap looks like it belongs, it MAKES this jumpsuit. Again seamless work, fits perfectly; absolutely flawless. She is very warm and personable, informative and knowledgeable. I'm very grateful that I found her on Yelp, and that she had the vision to create even better fashions out of what I brought her. I'm so happy! I will add pics soon!

    Overall negative experience. At $20 to get each pair hemmed, I would hope it would be a better…read moreexperience. I took 4 pairs of pants totaling $80 to get hemmed for my new job, and she was not helpful at giving advice for how much to take off the bottom, even when i was asking for guidance. She was rude and did not provide good customer service whether that be in person or over the phone. I had to repeat what pants were mine about 6 times, and she could barely keep track of which belonged to me. When i went in to drop my pants off she complained about all the work she had to do and the customers that dropped the clothing off. Which I didn't think was tasteful. She also complained about me needing my pants done in a week, which i feel is reasonable. When i picked up my pants, nothing was labeled with my name and I can clearly see the stitching from the outside of the pants. It is so bulky down at the bottom that it creates this thickness and draws attention to the hem. Also the seams on the inside are frayed and have a bunch of loose ends everywhere. Service was extremely disappointing. From having complaints about asking them to be done in a week, to hearing complaints about getting other people's items done, to giving me attitude when i was asking how much to take off the length, struggling to keep track of my belongings and most importantly, sloppy work, I would advise you to take your business elsewhere.

    (This place has moved! So it is not closed, I posted their new info at the bottom of my review)…read more This is not my first time here. (I found this place after a yelp search) I saw photos and reviews of future brides literally trusting this place with the most important clothing item in the world.. their wedding dress At my first visit, I brought in a Versace cape. it was on sale, except it was 3 sizes too big. I was a little nervous since this cape did have embroidery and heavy detail on the sides, so I knew it was going to be hard to do, but she said it wouldn't be a huge issue. But she did see it immediately and pointed out she could only take it in so much so it didn't ruin the embroidery pattern. She gave me a quote that was under 100 dollars (so, it was totally worth buying on sale even though I knew it was 3 sizes too big and would need altered) (she literally saved me thousands) She called me about 2-3 days later for pick up, and she knocked it out of the park I came back in for more alterations and I was immediately greeted by the owner,Kim, who is so warm and friendly. She's extremely honest about what CAN and CANNOT be done. And, gives you honest prices. She really aims to get the job done and up to everyone's standards to make sure everyone is happy. She's so professional yet so warm and friendly. I seriously love how talented, Kim is. I brought in a Gucci cardigan that had a little snag in it that was turning into a BIG snag. She was honest about the fact she couldn't do much. I told her it did not have to be perfect, I just did not want it getting worse. She actually called me same day and told me it was ready for pick up. The job she did was FLAWLESS! And she charged only 20 dollars Then, my third visit. I needed these items done. -light blue dress that needed taken in because it was a size too big -a sheer maxi dress that needed taken in all over and about 9 inches taken off the bottom -blazer style dress that needed taken in And a couple other items. However, I noticed the owner, Kim, who was there for 20 years had already moved. Please, spread the word. If you or anyone you know, needs some tailoring by highly qualified professional with tons of experience and family owned. I'm extremely sad this tailoring staple in OC has moved due to the rent almost doubling. They have been around for 20 years. She did say she would be doing some work from home and at other locations (fountain valley) -I'll definitely bring all my summer dresses that need fixed *their statement We have relocated to a private Fountain Valley studio! We are open via appointments only. Please schedule on our website tktailoring.com. If you have any questions, please reach out to our number at (714)848-3132.
