I've been coming here for over 20 years and they have consistently provided pleasant service and reliable tailoring at reasonable prices. The ownership changed during this time period and they remain my go to for tailoring. Sharon L., if you paid just $24 dollars jeans and think that is a lot, then you probaly shouldn't be hanging in Redondo Beach. read more

She reliable and handy with my wedding gown. Very trustable and easy to work with. Fast turn around time too!

Monet Kim helped me with altering the length of my wedding dress. She was able to do it in 2 weeks and she was the only tailor that picked up the phone on a Sunday. I was frantic to find a place to alter my wedding dress as it was only a month before wedding but she was able to do it soon. I am very appreciative for this quick turnaround! read more

Very good tailor. Very fast too. She can get you the repaor for simple ones in 1-2 days and it's always good.

One pair jeans hemmed. They did a really good job, but to me it was way too expensive. $24.00. It cost as much to have them hemmed as what I paid for the jeans!! read more

Wonderful! I had a clasp break on the back of a new swimsuit the day before I was going on vacation! I brought the clasp and walked in and she was able to fix it for me within an hour. Sounds silly but she saved me a lot of stress and was really nice! read more

Susan was willing to do same-hemming on a delicate, wide-leg garment and turned it around in about 3 hours for $45. I've had other pieces altered there and the quality was excellent. read more

I had my heart set on wearing my Aunt's wedding dress for my special day. It was both cost effective, and holds sentimental value to the family but I was nervous about the fit. The dress was too big in the bust and waist, and needed some alterations to the train. Compared prices at a few local alteration shops. Best Tailor was able to give me the best price, but above that, I got the feel that they really specialized in wedding dresses and I trusted they would not ruin the dress. They finished the job ahead of schedule AND got it right the first time around. If you need a wedding dress altered, these guys know what they're doing! read more

Best Tailor - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I was in a pinch because my wedding was just a few weeks away and I needed alterations on my dress! The dress itself was beautiful with a lot of detailing and beadwork. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to get my dress tailored properly. A couple places I talked to said they would not be to do the work by the date I needed it. I called Jenny at Best Tailor and she told me not to worry and come in for a fitting. When I brought my dress in I noticed that a lot of care and thought had gone into remodeling the whole place. Jenny and her staff were accommodating, kind, and efficient throughout the entire process. They did an amazing job at taking in my dress at the waist/bust and also shortening the length of my dress to make sure my dress didn't drag with my flats. I was so satisfied with the quality of work done on my dress that I asked Jenny and her staff if they could do some minor alterations on my wedding party's tuxedos and bridesmaid dresses. They were able to accommodate our needs and timeline. I have been a regular at Best Tailor since! Highly recommend. read more

See all

I had an alterations lady who I loved for years, and during the pandemic, she came over to join the team at Best Tailor. She had done great work for me in the past and when I saw that this place specializes in wedding dresses, I knew I would bring my dress here. They did a superb job on getting that personalized fit that you want and need on your special day, and I can't even see where the alterations were made. The only downfall is that the location wasn't super convenient for me, I wish they would expand to add some more locations. But, well worth the drive nonetheless. Thank you for making me feel beautiful! read more

My first three or four experiences with Best Tailor went decently well, so I brought them five items for alteration, including a formal dress which they took in two entire sizes and hemmed for $45. Overall, I spent $120 on the five items. From then on, they decided I had plenty of money to spend, and tried to charge me $45 to hem a single dress. I pointed out they had previously charged me $45 for a much more detailed alteration only a week before, and they told me I was mistaken. Actually, they yelled at me in completely undecipherable semi-English, but I did understand enough to know they were calling me either stupid or a liar. They then tried to rip the already-pinned dress out of my hands and were frantically offering to do the job for less, now that they were caught trying to overcharge me. When I said I was taking the dress elsewhere, they chased me and ripped the pins out of the dress. Heaven forbid the next tailor see how you were planning to hem the dress or get three cents worth of straight pins. The quality of the alterations was mediocre at best, often leaving unfinished portions or uneven hems. Certainly not worth the attempted overcharge if they think you can afford it, or the ensuing fight if you choose not to pay their inflated prices. read more

BEST Tailor is the right name for this business. They definitely are the BEST! They have been doing alterations and. repairs for us for many years and have always done a perfect job. Highly Recommend. read more

Over the past few years I purchased a number of high end men's suits - Brioni, Gives & Hawk, H. Huntsman, etc.....Initially I took one or two to all the top tailors in the south bay.....in order to see who might do the best job........! This was the only tailor who immediately knew and offered that because all my suit jacket sleeves had "working or surgeon's cuff", that in order to alter the sleeve properly, the sleeve would have to be taken off and altered from the shoulder.....Then they quoted me a "reasonable" fee for the service.....Since then I have taken over 30 suits and sport coats to Best Tailor and every time been completely satisfied......The husband is an excellent tailor and even completely "recut" an expensive Brioni double breasted suit for me and I have had nothing but compliments........They are truly as their name states "The Best Tailor"......in the South Bay and I highly recommend them for mens suits, sport coats and any article of clothing of value ! read more

Wow! So I had an emergency alteration I needed done to my bridesmaid dress. I just hadn't had any time to do it, and then I realized the night before that my dress was way too long and decided to try to find a place which did same day alterations. After going to a few different places which declined me, Best Tailor said no problem! They had my dress ready in about 4 hours and did a great job. I told them to take a little more off than they wanted, but that's my fault for not bringing the heels I was going to wear with them. They were just estimating and to be safe I had them take a little extra off. So now for the pricing! Only $35 for my rush order. I couldn't have been more pleased!!!! I would definitely go back! P.S. - they told me to bring cash so I am not sure if they accept credit cards or checks read more

I never been to a professional tailor, just kept going to the dry cleaners with the quick alteration. But, one too many messed up hems and money down the drain. I decided to search for the one with the mighty scissors. My mom's friend actually recommended me here as she herself been going here for about 6 yrs. I hestitated to believe her...She old... she wont know anything. But then I gave it a shot cause my mom was going to take some of her pants in. We come from a generation of short legs... So we have to get everything hemmed. A week later i got my jeans back and it looked original.... AWESOME JOB!!! Since then, I take everything to get shorted and fitted... Ive there about 5 times and I really like their prices, quality and time frame. Also: about the review about them being mean... FALSE!!!! they are sweet couple, Its that the language barrier isnt quite there.... So they arent able to make conversation as well... Con: Parking.... Dont go during Lunch. Language, they are not as sharp but they understand fully what they are doing.... read more

I used Matucci's until I could find a tailor not as expensive (see my review). I thought I had until they got chased out of their building. I found this place and while I agree they are not the warmest people on earth, they did a great job altering my jacket (no button issues) and jeans(original hem) for LOTS less than Matucci's. I don't care if they aren't warm, I don't have to be their friend, I just want a good tailor. read more

I've been trying to find a good tailor in South Bay for quite some time and I've found it here at Best Tailor. I've taken designer suits and jeans in there for alteration and they have come out beautifully. MY EXPERIENCE: Specifically, I've had sleeves shortened on a designer suit I bought on sale. The hem of the sleeves had detail work on it so I wasn't sure how he was going to pull this one off. He ended up doing a flawless job. I'm not even sure how he did it, but it shortened it up from the inseam at the shoulder to keep the integrity of the design at the sleeves. The final result was perfection: no puckering. He also hemmed the suit pants. Again, flawless work. He's also done original hemming on my designer J Brand jeans. The hem of the jeans flared. Again, I wasn't sure how he pulled it off but the end result looked EXACTLY like the product I bought, only shortened to my height. Since then, I've brought designer dresses, suits, my husband's blazer and we've been extremely pleased. ABOUT THE BUSINESS: The business is run by a cute older Korean couple. The man does most of the alterations. I like the fact that he is the one measuring you with the garment AND he is the one doing the tailoring. This ensures no mistakes. This helps also since he is not fluent in English but it almost doesn't matter b/c he knows enough to understand exactly what you want. In my past experiences, I've been to Mattucci down the street. My main frustration there was the person measuring you was NOT the person who did the alteration. That has resulted in pants that came out one leg too long and dresses that needed another alteration to tighten it. After it went on one too many times, I decided to take my business elsewhere. Yes, they do offer to re-do it for free but it was a huge pain to come back and get the item. Mattucci advertises it as a "family business" but he just hires cheap labor to get everything done for him. Best Tailor is truly a family run business....the cost is higher than dry cleaning but it's worth it to bring your expensive items in here for quality work. For simple re-hemming of a skirt or pants, I recommend you go to Flair Cleaners on artesia and bring the tailoring coupon to save some money. read more

10 bucks to hem a pair of jeans with same day service. It's a small mom and pop operation. I brought them in at 1pm they were ready by 5pm. No complaints at all. Plenty of parking behind the business off of Avenue C. I'll definitely be back. read more

My fave tailor by far. This family run business is small, the language is a little bit of a challenge but they always understand what I want. I had 2 of my "wedding dresses" done here (I changed throughout my wedding cos why not!) and they were done perfectly. One of the dresses was actually reconstructed from my mothers original wedding dress. Fabulous job and very reasonably priced! Ive already been back with another dress and some jeans. I wont go anywhere else! read more

I love Best Tailor. He hems my price at a reasonable rate and does a great job. I take all my clothes here now, and they're very close to me. Best prices in town. read more

I brought in my tuxedo to get fitted. I just told the tailor what I wanted. Got fitted and the price was very reasonable. Came back a week later and everything came out great. Did not need to do any other alteration. It worked out perfectly for my wedding. Thank you very much! ! read more

Called this place and the woman was so rude and unhelpful, I decided I'd rather go somewhere else. I don't care how good a place is. If they are rude the first time you call--fuhgetabahtit! read more

The name says it all - it would be easy to pass this place without a second look - it's a small shop wedged in between other shops and looks a little disshevled when you walk in, but this Asian couple are absolute pros. And what better than to support a mom and pop instead of the mainstream tailor. I had a pair of suit pants brought in (they were baggy on the butt - 2 sizes too big) and my boyfriend got 2 pairs of jeans hemmed. We were extremely satisfied and will be back! read more

I brought my wedding dress for alterations. I did all my research, and found this was the best pricing and reviews. I couldn't have been more disappointed. They actually have great parking in the back, big a huge language barrier, no attention to detail and they tried to convince me not to do certain things to my dress that I knew I wanted. They left spots on my dress, left unfinished seems, pulled on the satin and left strings hanging out and didn't sew up the inside after "fixing" the hips. The whole wedding dress process was stressful to begin with but it just got worse after going here. They may have great reviews for everything else, but don't bring your wedding dress here. I ended up at Joseph Mattucci's and they fixed everything and in less than 2 days. After leaving their shop, I felt more confident in my dress than I had when I first bought it. read more

I will never go to this tailor again! They used to be good, but have gotten awful over the last couple years. Had to take a brand new pair of pants back 4 times because they nearly ruined them, then they didn't properly hem a dress that they over-charged me for; when I showed them the trippable length of the dress they had the gall to start yelling at ME about it!!! Unbelievable!!! If you want to spend a fortune, get your clothes ruined, and get yelled at for their mistakes, you've found the perfect place. read more

Ok, I have brought many things here for the past few years, probably have spent over 1K in alterations. The gentleman always seemed to be competent and the prices reasonable. Well, until this last experience. I found a great deal on an Iro sequin jacket which I had planned to wear for the upcoming holidays but whose sleeves were too long. Typical visit, he measured and I asked for the extra material to be returned to me. Returned a week later for the pickup, found he clearly took too much out of the shoulder and it was pretty bad. 'No problem' he said, 'come back tomorrow'. I return the next day, it's slightly better but still way too tight. He continues to insist it's no problem, that's the way it was when I brought it in. Ummm, no, I explained to him, there was plenty of room in the shoulder area when I dropped it off. And where is the extra material' I ask? I'm now thinking I need to take it somewhere else with the removed material to have it redone. He takes a look around then GOES OUT TO THE DUMPSTER TO FETCH IT OUT! What?! I said, if it's in the dumpster, then I don't want it. He then says the trash has been picked up and the material is not in there. Still charges me the alteration fee. Now I am also out the cost of the jacket since I cannot fit my shoulder in and the remnant has been tossed. I asked him to purchase the jacket from me and he is moving me toward the door. Despite my repeated attempts to have him consider this, he is waving his hands and saying 'no problem'. I can't even bring to express what a horrible experience this was, basically not standing behind his poor work and charging me for it. In addition when the wife is there, she is never doing doing any tailoring, just sleeping but jumps up when I come in and tries to drive up his quoted price for alterations. So for those of you that have not yet had a similar experience, I suspect it's a matter of time before you also have an expensive item ruined. read more

I highly recommend this service if you are looking to get a men's dress suit altered. The owner doesn't say much and the place looks a bit disorganized when you first walk in. However, dont' be put off by any of that. In the end he is a consummate professional when it comes to taking measurements and making certain that your suit will fit you the way it's supposed to. The prices are reasonable and they were able to get my suit back to me in about a week and it's lookin' good. read more

Best Tailor is true to its name. I take all my suits there. The man knows how a suit should fit, and he make no mistake about cutting it up while your there to make it right. He won't let you take it unless it's perfect and pays attention to every detail. The lapel laying flat, the difference in your arm length, the shoulders wrapping right, and he always makes sure any detail on the bottom of your sleeve stays there. Highly recommended! read more

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for three years now. Lovely husband/wife couple own and run the shop. They've tailored everything from elaborate dresses, to the simplest hem on pants. Always very friendly, and the final product is always great. The only tailor we use in the South Bay! read more

My husband took his shirt here to get the sleeves shortened for our wedding. Not only were they rude here (at first refusing to shorten the sleeves because they thought they were the right length), they were late in having his shirt ready, even though he told them we need it for a wedding (and we took it in over a week before we needed it). When we got the shirt back we found that we had paid 25 dollars to have nothing done. The sleeves were the exact same length. We will never go back here again. read more

Wow!!! Took the advise of a fellow Yelper. Amazing job indeed and the prices are great. This man is a professional TAILOR. I actually was a regular at another place in the neighborhood. I went to check on the prices cause I was gettting a burger at the joint next door. I had a pair of jeans that were too long in the car, just went in for a quote. WOW!!! I have been over paying at the other place. So i let the man do his job. Came back the other day, I thought he didnt do a thing, but he actually did, He even made the hem look distrssed like how i purchased. I dont know what its called,but you get the idea. Found my new tailor. YAY!!!! Last time i went to him to get my suite fitted better, other place did a crappy job. I got my pant slim fitted and my sleeves cut the same length. Came back to a awesome suit for the wedding. Only bad thing is that i get a burger and fries every time i come here at the other joint, cant afford to get more weight. LOL read more
