I went to Alex because the show I'm on was up for an Emmy and I wanted to look my best! I had picked a dress that had some issues. It needed hemming and the boning in the dress was rippling. She even let me borrow earrings that matched my dress perfectly! Alex was awesome! She fixed my dress and she really gave me her thoughts and opinions on loads of questions I had for her. Alex really knows what she's doing but more importantly she seems to really care about her customers and the dresses brought to her. I'm for sure a regular customer now! read more

Bridal & Bridle Wedding Tailor - Alex did a fantastic job on my dress! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

I agree with the other negative reviews. I had a very off-putting introductory conversation with Alex and it was enough for me to know that I did not want to do business with her (let alone trust her with my wedding dress!). She lacks any interpersonal skills and is just plain rude. read more

Some background: I was sitting at home on a Sunday night swamped in wedding details and performing yelp outreach to a variety of tailors via the "custom quote" option in order to schedule a time the following week to get my wedding dress tailored. One of those people I reached out to was Alex at the Traveling Tailor and I felt compelled to share Alex's response (screenshot for evidence) as it's literally unlike anything I've ever seen and I don't want anyone else to be blindsided with a "response" like this when trying to plan one of the best times in their life. This is one of those 'the truth is stranger than fiction' instances where I wouldn't believe it if someone told me about a response like this! read more

Bridal & Bridle Wedding Tailor - I would like to just post the screenshot of my inquiry as well as Alex's response as it's...well...I'll let the exchange speak for itself. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

Where do I begin?! I found Alex through Yelp and reached out to her based upon her reviews and location. I got an immediate response. We set up an appointment within a couple of days. Let me say that we hit it off INSTANTLY! I loved her energy, her style and her approach. She is knowledgable and goes ABOVE and BEYOND details. She opened the bag carrying my dress and gasped. Thinking something had happened to it, off my look, she said, "This is the most magnificent dress." I thought so too. :D This magnificent dress was a labor of love. Somehow we had to figure out how to bustle it as the design of the dress did not call for it. I knew I was going to dance all night so it was important for us to find a solution. And with her keen eye and creativity, she worked with the dress until it worked. Each opportunity I got to slip into it for an hour or so, and dream of the day I get to wear it to marry the love of my life, she would comment on how I transformed when I was it it. You can't not, it is truly a special dress and I would have ONLY trusted Alex to handle it with such care. Over the weeks of fittings and conversation, my admiration only grew fonder of this very experienced, MASTER tailor! Alex is a woman of her word, and whatever you bring to her, she will wave her magic wand and make it better than communicated. She was with me on my wedding day to help me get dressed, bustle for dancing and make sure that the dress was laid out perfectly in pictures. She was like my fairy godmother and I'm so happy A) that I found her, B) she was part of my wedding, and C) I gained a new friend in the deal. Thank you Alex, for making my dream dress all the more magical than the day I bought it off the rack. You're amazing. XO read more

I contacted Alex because I had a bridesmaids dress for a wedding I am going to be in that I wasn't quite comfortable in. It was an "Infinity" style dress that just didn't feel secure on me, and I felt as though if I wore it all night the wrap part of it might begin to fall or look sloppy. I was looking for someone to sew it into the design I wanted and Alex was the women for the job. I found her on yelp and decided to give her a call. I left a message and she got back to me via text the same day. I explained to her what I wanted done and scheduled a consultation for the next day. She is such a sweet, brilliant woman and a pleasure to work with. She let me know what could be done and came up with some great ideas. The final result is a BEAUTIFUL dress that I am so excited to wear. I am so thankful I found her! read more

Alex is the best tailor, stylist, magician, surgeon around. She saved my wedding dress... Multiple times. She's is patient, smart, listens and also has amazing ideas of her own. Alex is great if you want pants hemmed or you need a giant alteration to a wedding dress. There is nothing she cannot do. She made amazing changes to my dress but also let out one of my bridesmaid's dress when she gained a little weight before the wedding. The best part is that Alex truly cares that her clients are happy. I am now a client for life! She has an amazing business partner and also a lovely dog! read more

Alex is amazing!! I purchased a vintage 1959s prom dress and a jumpsuit which both needed altering. I did some research online, but didn't find anyone I felt I could trust with these garments. Finally, just over a week before I needed them I was referred to Alex by one of the lovely ladies at Pin Up Girl Boutique. The referral alone assured me I was in good hands, but meeting her really sealed the deal. Not only is she probably one of the coolest women on the planet, she knows what she's doing. My prom dress had layers of tulle and was WAY too long for me as was my jumpsuit. She pinned me up, made sure I was happy with the length, offered her opinion with no pressure but the confidence of someone who has experience, and assured me she would meet the ridiculous deadline I had imposed on her. When I picked up my items they were everything I had imagined. The length of the dress and the pants on my jumpsuit were perfect! And the tulle, which was HAND CUT, looked as though it had been cut by a laser. She even helped me fancy up a hair flower I had made with the extra tulle from my dress. My goal was to look like a prom queen in my dress and that was the exact compliment I received when I wore it. Alex is amazing, fun, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Alex, thank you!!! read more

Due to circumstances beyond our control, my daughter Joell's wedding gown was incomplete within two weeks of the wedding date! Alex, came highly recommended to us and was so kind to accept our plea to finish Joell's gown! Alex was wonderfully calm to work with in completing the gown design. She worked hours around the clock to make sure the gown was absolutely perfect! Alex worked meticulously and creatively to give our Jo a gown more beautiful than she had imagined! She received a multitude of compliments both at the event as well as afterwards via Facebook and Instagram posts! I only wish these photos could show how gracefully the gown flowed as Joell walked down the aisle with her father and as she danced with her new groom!" read more

Update- 2016/2017 In short, after 2 years of trust and business I will never again request a tailoring service or recommend this business going forward. More than disappointed. Onwards with the hunt for someone professional and reliable. read more

Alex is more than a tailor; she's a stylist. She really knows her fabrics, color wheel, and took the time to study what looked good on me with my skin tone, height, and weight. There was nothing generic about the time I spent with her. She tailored my RON TOMSON suit that I bought online and her craftsmanship made it feel like the suit was made specifically for me and my body type. It's not like she just measured my sleeves and shortened the pants; no, she took her time and I spent about an hour with her in my first fitting session... she knows what she's doing! She was always upfront with me about the cost (even if it was a little expensive). But I felt I got my moneys worth with her expertise! read more

I am so thankful for finding Alex, she makes ever garment I bring to her perfect. I've been going to her for about a year now and I'm stuck. Not only has she become my seamstress she's become a great friend. I enjoy every visit with her!. Thanks for everything! read more

Bridal & Bridle Wedding Tailor - My dress was big on top and little around the waist. Alex made it fit like a glove! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

I bought a cute 1940s/50s style dress for a Film Noir-style performance. I was so afraid that altering it to fit me would change the "era" of the dress. Enter Alex, to save the day! After Alex worked on it, the dress fits and is totally in the style of the era. And this wasn't your basic tailoring job. She had to redesign the bust, and she nailed it! (I even like the style of it better now!) Alex listened to and truly cared about what I wanted; she brought her own extensive experience to the table; and she delivered a finished product that I am delighted by. She's pro. 100% pro. AND! She gave me great washing tips and a swatch of the cloth to test wash (and find matching lipstick!). read more

I love Traveling Tailor! The previous tailor that my company used became unavailable at the last minute. I booked Alexis on a whim and I couldn't be more pleased! Her work is impeccable and quick! She is incredibly easy to build a relationship with as well! I will definitely be going back to her for professional and personal tailoring needs! Thank you SO much again for your amazing service! Xoxoxo read more

After reading Alex's glowing reviews I decided to entrust her with my Linen wedding suit. Unlike many tailors I've worked with in the past, Alex took quite a bit of time to look at how my suit fit and discuss the changes we should make. Then, over the course of a few days, she took a wonderful suit and made it simply amazing! She pulled the vest in, gave the jacket a bit of a taper and slimmed the jacket sleeves to give it that extra bespoke touch. I won't lie, I looked fab in that suit and was the envy of my foppish friends. Sure, I wasn't as pretty as my bride but that's a task even a suit couldn't accomplish. Go see Alex. Seriously, her work is master craftsmanship at its best. NEW INFO: 4 months later and Alex comes through with flying colors again. My Hugo Boss suit needed a bit of letting out in the waistline ( yep, the holidays were a bit too celebratory...) and Alex altered the pants to make them fit perfectly. 24 hour turnaround too! She's the best! read more

Alex is awesome. Turned a regular suit into a custom suit perfect for me. Great work and great experience.

I got a 3-piece suit tailored by Alex and she did a fine job. Problem was she was all over the place with quotes and kept hiking up the price. She even forgot to include the vest in the price which made it even higher so I ended up just not having it tailored. The pants were done well and the suit fits well too but there were several dimples I noticed and she said there was nothing she could do about it. Brought it to another tailor and they said it could be fixed. read more

I am fully cognizant of the ramifications of a negative review and how it can impact business, which is why I would very rarely do such a thing, but I feel I need to tell my story. I have a wedding coming up that we have had to plan quickly because a close family member is barely hanging on with terminal cancer. Based on the reviews, I reached out to Alex who quickly and kindly responded, along with a "Congratulations!" All was well. The following day she texted me with a fitting date. as well as "btw, I have a $60 minimum for all clients." All good ... not my business. I responded "Hi Alex! Sorry, busy day. 7/6 would be fine, but I have to say $60 seems high for what I'm looking for, especially considering the shirt itself was only $68. I don't know. Given our limited finances with the wedding coming up, I may have to look for other options. I mean, I'm no expert in this stuff ... Is that standard?" To which she responded, "not a problem, I understand. That's a business procedure that works for me. Based on ur honesty, I'll cancel your appt. TU, Alex All good, right? I wasn't offended in the least, except for the fact that I never requested a cancellation, but could detect a bit of a "butthurt" tone in her response. I certainly wasn't trying to be offensive, only that we are nickel and diming everything to get this done and was just truly curious being that this was my first tailor call. I'll save you all the time ... I texted her for 2 days straight (3 separate texts) trying to get back on the books once my fiance said to just put it on the credit card to which she never got back to me. That was almost a week ago. Alex may be a sweet person, but she had zero concern for my particular situation and has petulantly responded by NOT responding. On to the next ... read more

I was very impressed by Alex's workmanship and her professionalism. The suit pants she shortened for me fit great now. I contacted Alex via Yelp's messaging feature. She replied later in the day and we setup an appointment via text messages. I needed some suit pants shortened. I arrived and she quickly took measurements and also gave me advice about my dress shoes which also my wife agreed with. Although the shoes looked nice, they were not a good quality build. Alex completed the alteration the same day and I arranged to pick up the pants at the end of the work day. However at the end of the day, I got caught in a meeting which caused me to be late by 30 minutes and I did not have my phone handy to text Alex. She kindly texted me that she was visiting a nearby friend and to text her when possible. I texted her after the meeting and was able to pick up the pants. read more

It truly must be said; this woman is magic! I had a very eclectic wedding and from the start, we needed tailoring on multiple pieces; one bridesmaid dress (fell in love with it in a vintage store but it was a wee bit tight on my girl!) my groom's trousers and frock coat (too big and a bit lopsided in the shoulders!) and my wedding dress, a medieval-style custom velvet and tapestry gown which I decided in the weeks before the wedding needed new sleeves. All of these alterations were extensive and required creative and critical thought. Alex reimagined my bridesmaid's gown and rather than just expand it with a gusset or something of the like, she created a beautiful corset-style back, which brought this modern dress right into line with our other more historical clothing. Watching her measure my groom in his coat and the care and thought that went into every single change she was going to do, was both impressive and soothing; I knew he would look perfect, and he did! She considers not just the garment, but the human that will live in it and the unique fit that they require. She is lovely, flexible, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She takes such pride in her work, and I was so relieved when I picked up my dress, which she had taken such beautiful care to get ready for me. I truly cannot recommend her highly enough, and I feel so fortunate to have found this great talent who is also a genuinely lovely person! read more

Based on Yelp reviews and location, I went to Alex to tighten up two suits from J Crew. Although most of her photos were of dresses and jackets of the female variety, I rolled the dice.

I found Alex through Yelp when I was looking for a nearby tailor. Alex was able to have my set finished within a couple days. She knew exactly what she was doing and payed attention to all the details I didn't think about. She took her time while pinning the set and made sure I felt comfortable in it. She was also fun to talk to during the fitting! My overall experience was amazing and I'll definitely be coming back with all my other clothes that need to be tailored! read more

Wow! When I ordered my dress from a dance company it came in the wrong size. I couldn't wear it. She took my dress and made it fit perfectly.

I can't recommend Alex enough. I never felt good in a suit before going to her. The alterations she made to the suits I brought in look all look fantastic! Not only will she perfectly tailor your suit, but she also will tell you her honest opinion and make great style suggestions. Trust the positive reviews and go to her. You'll be in good hands. read more

After living in Los Angeles for 3 years, I stumbled across the Traveling Tailor. Alex has been wonderful to work with. I am between sizes 36 and 38. Most tailors I've gone to in the past basically shorten the sleeves of my jacket and pants hem. Alex takes into consideration the fit of the whole jacket and not just the sleeves. I now have a suit and tux that feel as if they were tailor made to my measurements. She is currently working on a suit for me which has working buttons on the sleeve. She has figured a way to keep the working buttons without completely disassembling the sleeves. I can't wait to see the end results. read more

My experience with Alex has been phenomenal. Alex is truly tasteful and I was very happy to find her and trust her with my wedding gown. She knows how to make a dress look "Red Carpet" excellent! While she was mindful of what how I wanted my wedding dress to be altered, she gave me great advice and tips on how to make the dress the best really. I also adore her personality and find her to be an incredible woman. She truly made this entire wedding experience even more special for me. read more

After an ongoing search for a wedding dress, I became discouraged and just purchased the first thing I liked from an overseas website. I ordered up with the plan to have it altered to fit my body shape, when I got the dress it was way off. Not just the extra inches I added for altering, it needed some serious surgery. The top was off, very stiff and the cups that were in the dress were hideous. I searched for a tailor in my area through Yelp and after reading the reviews for Alex the Traveling Tailor, I knew she would be able to help and she did! Not only did she fix the top entirely but she made the back look more elegant and even, she gave me advice on what to add onto to it, so we could make it look better. I got better cups, a bridal belt, and a long slip with a bit of tulle to make the bottom part flare out a little. I appreciated her honesty and her sense of humor, it was always fun to go to the fittings. Alex is a skilled seamstress and knows her stuff, if you are in need of altering I highly recommend her. read more
