    Perfect length fitted to my heel height
    Julie Ann M.

    Julisa is a special human being - she is very professional, kind, down-to-earth, and welcoming. She is very detailed and assures everything is aligned perfectly, takes her time, and quickly schedules follow-up meetings. Julisa did an exceptional job on my dress and perfectly altered it where needed. There is no one else I'd trust than for her to had work on my dress and any future formal attire. Unbeatable prices for amazing work!!

    Beautiful handcrafted designs. Julisa is so incredibly talented at what she does... she transformed my wedding dress into a work of art and at a reasonable price. I'm over the top impressed by her and how fast she got everything done. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs to alter their wedding dress or who is in need of a seamstress.

    Julisa is very kind, communicative, knowledgeable, and skilled in her work. Julisa and her assistant are so very sweet and are comforting through the process. Pricing reasonable and excellent communication. There were just some bumps in the road for me with scheduling, fit, and my personal comfort and knowledge in wedding dresses and reliance on professional opinion. FITTING PROCESS: My initial fitting for my wedding dress went so well! She quoted me for taking in the waist/bust for my dress, adding bra/push up cups, adding a bustle, and a hem. The price was super reasonable! I had about 12 weeks left before my wedding when I initially dropped it off. We set an appointment for my second fitting, about 4 weeks later. The night before my appointment, she texted me asking to reschedule due to an emergency- no problem at all. She moved me 4 weeks later, taking us to about 6 weeks before my wedding. At that appointment, we decided on hemline and we adjusted the waist/bust to fit better. Julisa was able to make some quick adjustments right then and there to ensure fit, especially since it had gotten very tight! So we scheduled a 3rd and 4th fitting - Julisa said she was tightening the waist but since my dress had a lower back, it was changing the fit around the bust too. She was very patient with me when I just couldn't tell how my dress should fit - too tight or too loose. There were additional charges that popped up in the subsequent fittings which I would have liked to know in the initial fitting - even if we didn't know how much but that it's possible to add on charges as we go through the process. After the 4th fitting, we scheduled to pick up on July 4th, one week before my wedding and she let me know I could bring my mom and we would learn how to bustle the dress. The morning of the 4th, she texted me asking to my appointment later in the day - this was fine I had an open day/loose plans for the holiday. On this final fitting day, the dress was still very tight. We discussed options for letting it out. Additionally, since the last fitting, the boning in the dress started to wrinkle and did not sit smoothly. She had the idea to remove the dress's zipper and the buttons/loops as well as let it out to give me more room. She said she would put a hidden zipper. Sure- I was open to whatever she recommended to ensure the best fit. She offered to have it done the next day, Saturday but I said Monday was fine. I picked it up by myself on Monday and the fit was great. The next day, I tried on my dress at home with my mom to practice the bustle and she discovered that the back of the dress was messy looking (loose threads) and zipper was very visible. I texted her immediately and she let me know the invisible zipper does still dangle which is fine. But I asked if we could still clean it up so it looked nicer. She offered to put the buttons back on the dress and put the zipper in that was originally on the dress. I felt badly I didn't notice it during the fitting but it's hard to see those details when focused on fit! Also I felt bad because I said yes to her idea, but then changed my mind because of how it looked after. I dropped it off that day and it was ready the Wednesday before my wedding. At the end of the day, my dress fit in terms of length and waist. The bustle did break in 2 points after about 3 hours- it broke in areas where the loop was in tulle and not lace. Additionally the boning in my corset top started to shift in the late afternoon of my wedding day. It felt pokey and uncomfortable and I could feel the corset was no longer sitting smoothly on my chest. I'm very grateful Julisa heard my concerns and kept working on my dress until the end. Main wish is that my corset stayed smooth and not pokey/bumpy throughout the day and that I wish I didn't have to cut it so close to my wedding day with 4 visits the week of my wedding. Additionally would have appreciated the push up cups to work better and that the bustle didn't break (though I hear super common). Length and fit was great. Unfortunately the corset top, which was my favorite part of the dress, turned out to be uncomfortable day of, and doesn't look great in pictures after the boning moved around.

    So thankful for Julisa's work with altering my wedding dress. She was able to make off the shoulder detachable straps, take in the bust and hips so that the dress fit perfectly to my figure. Her work is great. Julisa is also a very nice and sweet person as well! I recommend her 100%!

    I recently worked with Julisa on altering my wedding dress. Not only did she do an incredible job, but she was so easy to work with. Very kind, patient, not pushy or trying to tell me what to do. She listens to you and works with you. She also has a beautiful selection of veils and jewelry which I purchased both from her! I highly recommend her shop!

    Julisa is such a gem. She was so accommodating and very reasonable in her pricing. She is easygoing but efficient and realistic in her timeline. My wedding dress fit precisely the way I needed it to, and it was all thanks to her. Thank you, Julisa!

    Final fitting 80% just needs hemmed
    Elise R.

    From the start Julisa was professional and honest! At our first consultation to bring my dress from a size 12 to 6 she pinned me and told me one by one what needed fixed. It was so refreshing to finally get a quote for my wedding dress where I did not feel I was getting scammed. Her prices were very reasonable and she pointed at and showed me exactly where my dress needed hemmed and /or altered and the reason why it would cost the price it would either due to time or material. The entire process with Julisa was stress and hassle free. I never had to worry once that my dress would have errors or would not be done on time. She always let me give input in how I wanted my dress to look and she offered her professional advice as to how to best make what I wanted possible within my budget and style of dress. *She also makes custom dresses and has beautiful jewelry for sale at a great price too! Super recommend! Thank you Julisa! You helped make my wedding perfect!

    I was referred to Julisa and had a wonderful experience! I scheduled my first appointment about 2 months out and it was the perfect amount of time. Luckily I didn't have to cut anything off the bottom but the dress needed to be fitted to my shape. I'm so happy with how things came out and pricing seemed very reasonable in comparison to what I've heard!

    Julisa is so nice! I've never had a dress altered before, and I felt she made the whole process easy. I also felt like what she charged for the alteration was fair, didn't feel expensive. I'm really happy with how the dress fits now and so is the bride, thank you Julisa - you did a fantastic job! I hope I'll need another dress altered in the future!

    I reached out to Julisa back in January about making my custom wedding dress from head to toe, and she did just that! She was able to have it done two weeks before my wedding so that I wasn't stressing about it. It was absolutely beautiful, perfect and just like my inspo picture I showed her! I loved every detail about it, not only that but I got so many compliments on it. If you're looking to get your wedding dress made, Julisa is definitely your girl. I cant thank you enough for making my dream dress

I had a one-of-a-kind jersey that I wanted turned into a dress because it was huge. I showed the man a video of exactly what I wanted him to do with this jersey and how to turn it into a dress. All he had to do was cut the sleeves off so up the side and then reattach the sleeve. When I came in to pick it up, the sleeves were not cut, they're two different sizes, the neckline wasn't cut to size and I looked like the background dancers in the goofy movie with the broad shoulders. There's so much bunching in the top since I have smaller breast and I pointed that out on Monday and he just kept repeating "I cut where I pin" anyone can do that. So since he was only going to cut what he pins, which was not our initial discussion, I took the time to explain. Show him the video again. I made it a point to make sure that he was going to be able to do this the way that I wanted before dropping it off because I would've spent more time looking for places that were capable of following instructions. Thankfully, I recorded our conversation and reported it to the Better Business Bureau. They just kept repeating the same sentence over and over again to the point where I started yelling over them and they started calling me crazy because I didn't want them to "fix anything" and I wanted a refund. Still have a destroyed unwearable jersey and no refund.

He's always available, whether you stop by the shop or give him a call, and he takes the time to understand exactly what you're looking for. He offers thoughtful professional advice, but he also listens to your preferences and makes sure the final result reflects your style. His pricing is fair, his workmanship is consistently high quality, and he's someone you can trust to get the job done right. If you're looking for a reliable, honest tailor who takes pride in his work, I highly recommend Dino's Suit Gallery.

Don't be fooled by the size of his shop; once you step inside, you realize quickly that the quality of service and selection rivals (and honestly beats) the big-name stores. I drove all the way from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County to Orange County for a suit, and it was absolutely worth the trip. From now on, I will only visit Dino for any suit purchases, and I would recommend anyone looking for a sharp suit, fair pricing, and real personal attention to visit Dino's Suit Gallery.

In the past, when items were lost or damaged, they handled the situation professionally and took responsibility. Unfortunately, that level of customer service appears to be gone. We recently had a brand new custom sport coat cleaned -- a very expensive jacket specially made for my 6'6" husband. He wore it only a few times on vacation, came home, took it off, and I immediately sent it to Kona for cleaning. When it was returned, there was a noticeable burn mark on the shoulder/deltoid area along with a streak running from the top of the shoulder, exactly like damage caused by an iron that was too hot. When I called, they immediately picked the jacket back up, which initially made me believe they intended to resolve the issue fairly. However, after keeping it for five days, Carlos called and stated that he "asked the production staff" and because they claimed they didn't do it, Kona would not reimburse us. The conversation was incredibly disappointing. Carlos was rude, dismissive, and openly implied he did not believe us. He stated there was no one else we could speak to. After spending thousands of dollars with this business over the years, being treated this way over a clearly damaged item was shocking. To make matters worse, their customer service system is a mess. No one answers the main customer service number, and when calling individual stores, the employees often seem confused, difficult to understand, or act as though they have no idea what you're talking about. During this process alone, this happened to me at least five separate times. In one instance, I was placed on hold and never helped -- I finally hung up myself after waiting 17 minutes. The quality of service at Kona has slowly declined over time, but this experience confirmed that customer loyalty and accountability no longer matter to them. I would absolutely not recommend using their services, especially for high-end or custom clothing.
