Excellent and fast alternations! I came a Thursday mid-day with two items: a pair of linen pants that need to be hemmed, and a pair of linen overalls that needed to be brought in, hemmed and adjusted in the front. I was quoted an incredibly affordable cost for both items and was promised it would be completed by SATURDAY. Picked them up and couldn't be any happier with the work. Guadalupe is definitely talented, quick and is my new neighborhood go-to. read more

Nice little alterations shop. Ripped the crotch of my jeans (don't ask). Figured I'd try to save an otherwise good pair jeans and get them patched. I had a few other pairs that needed to get hemmed so I gave this place a try. Guadalupe is a nice lady, very friendly. The hems were $7/ea and the patch was $12/ea. I thought she did a good job and they were ready when she said they would be. Good job and decent prices. Will be coming back when I need something else altered. Free street parking outside but it can fill up. You might have to park around the block. read more

Great place. I would highly recommend. The lady here is super sweet and a very hard worker.

I came here multiple times to consult regarding my wedding dress and what I should get done. Guadalupe was soooo helpful and sweet, also very honest. She was quick to do my alterations for my wedding and it was great! I will be coming back to her for the future and continue to support a small business latine woman!!! read more

Lupe is the best!! So glad to have found her spot in Highland Park. Expertly and speedily fitted my clothes for a very fair price, even things other tailors have said were impossible to fix. I will be back! read more

I recently had two pairs of pants tailored at Alterations. The work was completed quickly, was really inexpensive, and is of exceptional quality. I recommend anyone on the East Side looking for custom tailoring go to Alterations first. read more

Extremely satisfied! I found someone who actually hems my pants and it doesn't "look altered"!!!! Guadalupe's work is so professional that it looks like you purchased your clothing like this. The string color is always on point and the the hem *doesn't* look like it could get undone, it's looks sturdy. I'll add a photo for you, so you can take a look at the quality of her hems!! A true gem in the HP!! I was also happy that to know that she accepts Zelle for payment :) read more

Highly recommend! Best prices. Quick turn around. Honest and talented seamstress! I've found my new go to spot in the area. Bringing all my clothes here. She was able to give me a few inches on a dress that was too tight on me for a wedding. I'll update my review with photos after the event! read more

Guadalupe did an excellent job on some items I brought for her to alter. Highly recommend!

Love this place! Quick and very well done. Will definitely be back. Very professional. Thank you!

I visit Guadalupe at least once a week it seems. I found her from yelp about a year ago and have been going ever since. I'm on the shorter side so every purchase is a trip to the tailor. Everything is always done within two days and she does beautiful work. I take mostly pants but she's done all types of fabrics for me including stretchy pants made of viscose which I had no clue how they'd turn out but I was happy with the results. I love going to a woman owned business! That's the second reason why I always return. She's got great hours where I can go later in the evening after work and early Saturdays. It's usually less than 5 minutes in and out of there. She usually helps me to pick the length and it always looks as if it hasn't been altered. Definitely worth stopping by for some quality work and affordable prices read more

I had 4 pairs of pants that were way too long for my 5'3 height. They were altered exactly how I wanted them to be and done on time and very quickly. The cost was acceptable, I didn't wince when quoted! read more

I am so grateful to Guadalupe for her work on my wedding dress! Other places quoted me over the price of the dress itself and said it would take four months for custom sleeves. Guadalupe was not only able to fix the dress, add sleeves and a full hem quickly, but was also able to take the material from the dress itself so that the sleeves matched perfectly. I couldn't have asked for anything more, and will definitely return for any future alteration needs! read more

So happy with the results and the whole process. Thank you! Will be coming back for sure.

Scame here to have my work pants altered, they were too long. She did wonderful job and did it same day! Gracias!

I took my wedding dress in for alterations and the process was so easy and fast! Guadalupe was very sweet and the dress was ready in two days! It fit perfectly. I was also surprised by the price - definitely expected to pay way more. I will be bringing anything I need altered to Guadalupe from now on :) read more

I've gone here twice for hemming pants and altering a coat. She speaks limited English but enough for us to understand each other. She's very sweet, does a great job, and turnaround time is fast! Great prices as well. I will continue to come back :) read more

The excellent reviews are true! I went to see Guadalupe to get alterations for a bridesmaid dress for an upcoming wedding. Her prices were very affordable and she both hemmed and took in the dress. I was incredibly pleased with the results and the turnaround was very quick. She is definitely a great option if you're looking for a quick turnaround. Highly recommend! read more

Guadalupe is a Godsend! I'm seriously crying happy tears as I write this. I bought a pair of pants for vacation online and they were too long. I needed about 3-4 inches of it hemmed, but didn't want to bring them just anywhere because they were a bit pricey and made of delicate fabric. But I leave for my trip tomorrow and was getting desperate! I'm so glad I came across Guadalupe's shop on Yelp. I brought my pants in around 11:45 am and said she could have it ready by 1:30 for an amazingly reasonable price of $15. Just WOW! I held my breath when I went to pick them up only because I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised to see she had managed to hem them with the original stitching -- and possibly did a better job than whoever made them! For many years, I took stuff to Amy's Sewing Shop in Eagle Rock. Last year, she charged me almost the entire cost of a bridesmaid dress I had her alter -- to which she did a mediocre job. So happy I've found Guadalupe. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Great female owned business! The hardest part is the language barrier for me since I don't speak Spanish, but visuals come in handy when things get lost in translation over Google Translate. Had a dress altered here and was thankful for Guadalupe's craftsmanship on such a difficult dress! read more

Great lady for alterations. Started with cheerleading outfits and have taken other important outfit and she is great and careful and better yet quick!!!!! read more

I went here based on the good reviews and want to support local business. My jeans were untouched when I went to pick it up on day she said it'll be ready. I told her I'll take my jeans back. I'll take my business elsewhere. I can't say much about her craftsmanship for I do believe she does a good job, but everything else lacks. Her entrance door was locked when I arrived, I knocked 3 times and finally called the business, that's when the door was open by another customer who scolded at me to wait. How the fu*k was I suppose to know? I waited a solid 7 mins outside the entrance, and wasted my time coming here. Parking is very limited, I parked 3 blocks away this time but was lucky the first time, and found parking next to her business. She seems like a nice lady, but is unreliable and lack professionalism. read more

Update: Even though her shop is cash only, she now has an ATM on site!! It saves you the stress of running to the bank after work. Guadalupe does AMAZING work! I had her alter my pants for my sister's wedding and they came out perfect. She is very nice and easy to work with! I recommend seeing her if you are in Northeast LA!! read more

Had some jeans that I wanted altered to match a pair of jeans that I owned. Picked it up today and no alterations were made and yet I still paid! Honestly don't think she understood what I wanted when I first dropped them off. She nodded her head at everything that I was saying. That should have been a clear sign that she had no clue lol. She probably made some alterations but not the ones that I wanted. Super nice lady though. I don't doubt her skills but it definitely helps to speak Spanish when coming here. read more

Based on the reviews and having met Guadalupe once, I decided to go with having her alter my evening gown. She made the waist area tighter & reduced the length of the dress, both of which look very professionally done. She is indeed talented & knows what exactly she's doing! And my dress was ready in a week. Regarding language barriers, she does understand basic English words & knows what you need. Don't be afraid to take your time + repeat for clarification and use Google Translate so you're both on the same page. I made sure I understood what she was going to do to my dress & a little help from G-translate, body language, my basic Spanish, and another customer went a long way. She also fixed a button on my top, which works well now, so I do recommend her! P.s. You'll need to pay a deposit, so take cash. There is apparently parking in the back, but I just found spots on the street. read more

This was my first time ever getting something tailored and I had been feeling nervous after reading countless other yelp pages where some people shared about negative experiences with garments being ruined. After seeing all the positive reviews Guadalupe's business I had, I decided to go with her service and was not disappointed at all. She is very sweet, attentive, and quick. I will definitely be coming back and recommending her services read more

I had a dress altered there this past week. Yes, the language barrier was difficult. The owner/tailor really doesn't speak English. I had to draw some diagrams on the back of an envelope to make sure she understood what I wanted. With that said, from this one experience so far, it seems like she really knows what she's doing, and has a life time of experience. My requests for The shirt dress: hemming the length, taking it in on the sides and waist, and taking out the pleated part just below the waist that gave me too much volume below the torso. She hemmed and brought in the top half of the dress to fit my chest and waist, and took apart the construction below the waist and rebuilt the skirt to be an A line that fit and flattered me much better. It looks like it had always been made that way, not worked in later. Language barrier aside, I'm happy to work with her again in the future! Gives me so much more possibilities with clothing! read more

Guadalupe is AMAZING! She hemmed my bridesmaid dress beautifully, at a reasonable price and only took 4 business days. Unfortunately, almost a week out from the wedding, the zipper on my dress broke and she was able to replace the zipper in 2 days! She SAAAAVED my dress and I! Initially getting to her business was a bit confusing as there are a few parking lots (some chained and locked) that surround the building, but if you come off Avenue 53 and turn on Gracita Place (between the church and the school), her designated parking lot is to your right. It also looks like there is no way to get to the building without having to walk down Gracita to Figueroa as the driveway gates (that lead to Figueroa) are locked, but there is a maroon gate on the side of the building that you can go through from the parking lot. Once you get to the 2nd floor, you'll see the florescent sign in the window and while the door is locked, all you need to do is knock and she will open the door. Also, she doesn't take any debit or credit cards, but does take Zelle and cash. Would definitely recommend! read more

I came here when it looked like the pandemic was lightening up to get my business attire hemmed. Now we're back at home so they are all collecting dust in my closet again but now I'll be ready! Would highly recommend. She is a seamstress goddess who has mastered her craft and is sweet. Prices are very reasonable and she had everything ready in a ridiculously short amount of time. read more

I love this shop!! I took my wedding dress to Guadalope. I told her what I wanted, she gave me advice on how to make it look even better. The turn around time was quick and reliable. I just got my dress back and it looks better than I could have ever imagined!! read more

So talented and have never had Guadalupe do a bad job at alterations! She's also super affordable so I will be coming here for everything now. read more

Second floor tailor shop run (single handledly?) by a kind woman. Alterations were quick, well done, and affordable. I got a bridesmaid dress altered so the waist fit better. Coming back with more soon! read more

Guadalupe does AMAZING work!!! Her prices are reasonable and she's very quick. If you're in a pinch for time, she'll charge a bit extra to rush it for you. Guadalupe is very friendly and professional. I've used her services twice to alter my dresses for weddings. Payment says cash only, but she'll also accept Zelle. Her primary language is Spanish, so it helps if you know a bit of Spanish, but her English is good enough to get the job done if you don't. Street parking out front is pretty easy, but it can get a bit congested. read more

Needed a quick alteration on a dress for my brothers wedding and it was done quickly and perfectly! Cash only so come prepared.

I'm so happy I found Guadalupe! I had a vision in mind of what I wanted for my wedding elopement dress but I couldn't find anything that fit what I wanted in my price range so I bought two affordable dresses with the kind of lace fabric and train I wanted and I brought it to a tailor down the street from me with great reviews to create a new neckline, low back and add long sleeves. I explained what I wanted done with pictures and he assured me it was completely doable but unfortunately he botched it and I ended up with an unwearable mess (puffy sleeves, elastic everywhere). Fast forward to two months before my wedding. I had given up on creating my own dress and bought an inexpensive dress that I needed shortened before my wedding. In searching for a seamstress near me, I luckily found Guadalupe! I brought both dresses to Guadalupe knowing she would have no trouble shortening the one dress and I had nothing to loose if she couldn't fix the previous tailor's disaster dress. We discussed what I wanted in my broken Spanglish and she drew a picture to make sure we were on the same page. She assured me it wouldn't be a problem. She could fix the previous tailors work and it would look exactly how I wanted. When I came to pick up both dresses, I was shocked! Guadalupe had transformed my dress and it was even better than I could have imagined. She made sure it fit me perfectly. I wore it on my wedding day and I could not have been happier. She is truly talented! I highly recommend her. read more

I've gone here a couple of time. Both times to get two different wedding dress's altered. I was a little nervous because I read that the seamstress didnt speak english. But because of the positive reciews, I decided to roll the dice. Yes, she didnt speak any english, but I didnt have a difficult time explaining to her what I wanted. In the end she did a wonderful job! I needed my dresses to be done in a couple weeks, and even though she didnt know I was on a time crunch, she was able to get it done relatively fast and efficientl. Just make sure you try on what you got altered there, in case there are more alterations you need done. She's a pleasant woman and has affordable prices. I will definitely be comming back to get more alterations done. read more
