    Outfit made by Hector
    Vee F.

    I purchased an outfit from fashion nova, which usually fits me great. However, this particular outfit showed a lot of boobs and this was my daughter's baby shower for my first granddaughter, and that wasn't the look I was trying to give. I called Blanca's tailor shop and I believe his name was Hector. In a last minute effort I asked him if he could possibly re-create this outfit for me. He did an amazing job in 2 days. That outfit fit perfect I had so many compliments with a cherry theme baby shower for my daughter. This outfit was definitely giving cherry on top.

    Very quick turnaround time of 2 days for my dress to be hemmed. It was 2 layers so it was 45$. Great quality work. :)

    Hector created the dramatic bow and sized the gown. The bow and tail were lined beautifully in black satin.

    Hector runs this shop. He's a very talented tailor. I engaged him to create and attach a dramatic Marilyn Monroe/Madonna bow with floor length tails to a pink satin gown I wore to my legacy 1980s themed birthday party. Two other tailors passed on the job finding it too complicated and not having the confidence to execute it well. Hector worked with me to get it just the right size that created the drama I was seeking. He also had to fit the gown which was too large, and line the pink satin bow and tails with black satin. He did an amazing, flawless job and was very reasonable in his price. Also, he is professional but also funny, charming and just a pleasure to work with. I am going to him with all my tailoring needs!

    Before the alterations  The dress looks fitted because it was being held behind

    Ask the Community - Blanca's Tailor Shop

    Hello. I recently bought a kilt. Along with the kilt they sent me two nice sized pieces of the tartan fabric. Would you be able to make a men's tie? Do I need to bring any other fabric for the back? Thank you.

    Hi Dan, yes, we can definitely help you. Héctor, our tailor, has made them before. You’ll just need to bring the fabric and a tie that you already have so it can be used as a reference.

    Hello I came across you guys on Yelp and was was wondering if you're able to assist with my request. I have a couple of pants that need to be hammed and some patches that would need to be stitched up to my husband's shirts for work. Can you assist?

    Hi Wendy, thank you for reaching out! We’d be glad to assist with your request, our tailor Hector, is available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Saturdays from 10 AM to 3 PM. Are you able to visit our shop during normal business hours?…

The woman who runs it is amazing--while I don't know her name, I truly appreciate the care and attention she puts into every piece. She has done several alterations for me and my family, and every single one has turned out beautifully. She handled a formal dress for my daughter and delivered exactly what we asked for--it fit perfectly and looked stunning. She really listens and understands what you want, which makes all the difference. As someone on the shorter side, she's also altered multiple pairs of pants for me, always getting the length just right. On top of that, she repaired a zipper on a work sweater that had tricky stitching, and even fixed a pair of tailored dress shorts from EXPRESS that needed restitching. Everything came back looking like new. I'll continue to be a loyal customer of Chula Vista Taylor for as long as I'm living in the Southern California, San Diego area. It's so rare to find this level of skill, care, and consistency all in one place.

I will likely try a business shop vs home shop next time. I called multiple times and arranged for a fitting to alter two jackets. First Don said he was available the next day and to call back. I did and arranged to stop by, kept asking for the address, and finally he gave it to me, but called back later and ask I stop by later that day. When I tried again in the afternoon, he gave me an address and said his sister is helping him and will meet with me. Went to the home and the man introduced himself as Don so I was so confused. He said a business partner is sending him leadals, maybe that is Don? The woman (Loan) was very sweet who did my alterations. Anyway, whoever I ended up being sent to was ok but it wasnt Don and cant find her listing to leave a review there. Leaving this here so others are aware they may be sent elsewhere instead of Don. The alterations for 2 jackets were ok. One jacket was perfect but the other was looser and not quite as tailored. Price was cheaper than standard so I was not too upset, you get what you pay for.
