My first experience with a tailor, and he did a great job! Looking forward to buying more ill-fitting clothes so I can bring them here :)

I came in with a running vest that had a torn hook loop, and I'm so glad the first place I tried was closed because it led me straight here. A gentleman named Ali greeted me right away with genuine kindness and told me to come back the next day. When I picked up the vest, I was honestly surprised. it looked brand new. The repair was so clean you'd never guess it was ever torn, and the price was great too. Huge thank you to the team. I'll definitely be back and will be recommending this place to everyone I know. read more

Best tailor in the Bay Area ! I take all my clothes here work and personal along with my girlfriend who has been going here for years !! Ali is amazing read more

This experience has truly been a long time coming. For the past four years, we have relied on this tailoring shop for everything from homecoming and prom dresses to cheer uniforms, and their work has consistently been exceptional. Their craftsmanship is remarkable. The team is always professional, attentive, and remarkably accommodating. Even when we have had to bring garments in with very short notice, they have done everything possible to work with our schedule and ensure the pieces were completed on time. They have handled highly ornate and intricately decorated dresses with impressive skill, carefully preserving the original design and pattern while tailoring each piece flawlessly. My daughter is only five feet tall with a very small waist, yet they have managed to achieve seamless alterations that fit her perfectly. Every dress they have tailored throughout her high school years has turned out beautifully--truly beyond anything we could have expected. We could not be more pleased with their work. I wholeheartedly recommend this shop to anyone in need of tailoring, whether for a special occasion or everyday garments. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication to quality make them an outstanding choice. read more

I came here to get both of my wedding dresses altered (1 ceremony dress and 1 reception dress). I am only 4'11" so I pretty much always need to get dresses shortened. However, for these dresses I also wanted them to be more form fitting as they were both too loose. I was also worried about the lace on my ceremony dress because it's too pretty to just cut it all up. We decided to shorten the inside layers but kept the outside layer of lace a bit longer. Ali and his team did such an amazing job! After the alterations, both dresses gave me more shape. The ceremony dress did need a second fitting/alteration to make some adjustments but the end result was exceptional! The reception dress is practically made of entirely beads and sequins so I was also pleasantly pleased with how that one turned out too. I would also like to point out that the turnaround time was extremely impressive! My dresses were done in about 2 weeks!! I was so happy with my experience here that I recommended this place to another friend of a friend to get her wedding dress done here too. Plus, I have since come back again to shorten a bridesmaids dress I need for myself. Highly recommend this place not only for dresses of all sorts, but I know my friend keeps coming back here for her pants hemming as well! read more

I can't say enough great things about this tailor! From the moment you walk in, the owner is warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. As a detail-oriented New Yorker, I'm picky about fit and finish. And he absolutely nailed it. He tailored my favorite silk skirts (not an easy fabric to work with!), jeans, and tops to fit me perfectly. Every piece came out looking better than I imagined, refined, flattering, and comfortable. His craftsmanship and eye for detail are truly exceptional. If you're looking for someone who takes pride in their work and treats every garment like a custom piece, this is your guy. I wouldn't take my clothes anywhere else. A true gem in the Mountain View! read more

Definitely a FIVE in every aspect of my experience at Center Tailor & Alterations. Now have confidence to purchase nice pieces and get them altered perfectly. read more

Has been the best tailor place I have been to. Such a nice guy and the work is amazing has done multiple repairs on pants, dress and shirts.

I was searching on dozens of websites for a dress for my engagement photos and couldn't find one that suited my vision. I took what I had to have it customized to my vision and they did a beautiful job. They were professional and fast! read more

Came by before closing time midweek, and asked how much to sew a hole in my sweater. The guy said no charge, was a very friendly and honest man, probably the owner. Had it ready the next day. Flawless work, way better than I could have done. I'm grateful for the wonderful service provided, even with such a small request, and wouldn't hesitate to return for bigger alteration needs in the future. read more

This place is a gem! Ali's service and craftmanship is outstanding! I'm so glad to have found this place.

I brought my wedding tux and dress shirt to Center Tailor & Alterations and was very happy with the results. As I requested, they took in the sleeves of the jacket, adjusted the waist and length of my pants, and took in the width of my dress shirt. Everything fit great on the big day. The staff was super helpful and attentive, and the turnaround time and pricing were both very reasonable. First time using them but I'll definitely be back. read more

The owner here is amazing! He helped fix the zipper on my white top so quickly and did such a great job. Really appreciate the kindness and excellent service--highly recommend this place! read more

I had the absolute best experience getting my wedding dress altered here! From the moment I walked in, he made me feel at ease and truly listened to what I wanted. My dress fit like a dream on my wedding day. You can tell he takes so much pride in his work. Not only was the quality amazing, but the price was also incredibly fair, especially for such expert craftsmanship. I'm so grateful I found him and would 100% recommend him to any bride looking for someone they can trust with such an important piece. Thank you again! read more

What a find in the heart of Mountain View. Professional, respectful and clear to work with. I had 2 different types of fabrics to be altered and was guided how much length should/shouldn't be tucked in. Picked up on time. Great value for the quality of service, thank you so much! read more

Thank you for excellent service and quick turnaround! Ali is my go to for alterations.

I brought a dress in that I believed had been altered incorrectly at another location, looking for a second opinion. A gentleman (who I assume is Ali) had me put the dress on so he could inspect it closely and see exactly what I was unhappy with. As he reviewed the dress' hem and provided his input, I was met with kindness, professionalism and honest feedback. He told me that it had been done just right and he wouldn't change or touch anything. I so greatly appreciated the honesty and not being scammed into spending more money, or potentially ruining my dress with more unnecessary alterations! He even offered to steam it free of charge to get out some of the wrinkles and flared edges. I'll definitely be back for when I do need an actual alteration done! read more

Another 5 star review from a very happy customer. I live in San Mateo but drive to Mountain View for this shop because they are very good. I learned how to sew from my mom, so I can truly appreciate the craftmanship. This is a family owned business with several generations of teaching the art of tailoring. They are very precise & do a excellent work. I don't mind paying a little more because their skills are superior than going to a dry cleaner. I no longer even let Nordstrom alter my clothing & only come to this shop. I recently lost a lot of weight, so rather than spending more money on new clothes, I brought several of my favorite pieces for them to alter and they did an excellent job. read more

This is my favorite tailor! I've brought everything from bridesmaid gowns to jumpsuits here. The tailor is incredibly professional, fast, and the prices are reasonable. I've been a repeat customer many times, and this is definitely my go-to spot. read more

Having been with my seamstress in San Diego for 5 years, I was nervous finding a tailor in the bay. I took a lace gown and a pair of pants to them and they tailored them perfectly for me. I cannot recommend Ali and team enough!! Their work is professional and timely. They will have you feeling like a million. read more

I had my wedding dress altered here; the owner was very friendly and thoughtful in his recommendations. The dress was altered beautifully and the length was perfect for me; he heard my request for just a small train (had an outdoor casual wedding) and delivered just that. I had off the shoulder straps converted to shoulder straps, bust taken in and hem all for a very reasonable price and timeline - would definitely recommend! read more

With a petite frame and standing only 5 feet tall, our daughter's prom dress required extensive alterations. After spending a great deal on a high-end formal gown, we did not want to leave any room for error and needed a trusted tailor. The dress needed to be taken in at the hips and corset, straps and horsehair hem shortened, and a one-button bustle added for the train. A bustle is a MUST if you want to dance without anyone stepping on the gown and destroying it!! Horsehair hems are very involved and demand a tailor with advanced knowledge. The precision and care taken at Center Tailor & Alterations was magnificent. Ali's refined hand and attention to detail is remarkable. Thank you Ali, without your amazing talent prom would not have been perfect! read more

This is a review that's been long overdue since my last one. Over the last year and this year I have frequented Ali's place with mostly tailoring request but occasionally repairing as well and he has done a fantastic and absolutely incredible job on all of them for incredible and fair price! Below the alterations are done shortly after my last one (last one is in November and this one is from December, most of which are vintage dresses that needed resizing due to me buying them in various different sizing and vintage sizing sometimes depending on the brand can be very different. Most of the alterations involved shortening the shoulder straps, bust cinching, waist cinching (from the back or if the gap is big it will be done from cinching under both sides of the dress) and occasionally hemming. Ali and his team did amazing jobs on each one that I almost could not tell the dresses have been altered at all, there were minimal marks of alteration and no visible signs of cinching or stitching on the outside of the pieces at all which is so greatly appreciated considering vintage items can be fragile and un-forgiving for mistakes. For most of the work, strap adjustment & cinching of any kind can be between 35-80$, hemming can be between 30-60$ which is very fair and amazing consider the quality of the work, turn-a-round time, and in comparison to other tailoring places I've visited. Very very highly recommended and much thanks to Ali and his professional & expert team :) Edit: There were also some pictures with tops & pants, Ali and his team did fantastic jobs on those as well. Recently, rats got into my basement and chewed on some of my expensive jackets and suits, Ali was able to do patchwork on them as well as fixing one to its original condition with no flaws or visible signs of repairing! Absolutely incredible work and I can't express how amazed I am at his tailoring skills! Thanks again! read more

I requested to have several sets of pants hemmed. They were finished in under a week, even though I told them it wasn't urgent. The quality of the work was great, and at $20 a pair I felt the price was quite reasonable. The staff was friendly and quite helpful. I've been to Center several times, and plan to keep going back read more

Okay so if you're looking for someone who actually cares about how you clothes look on you, look no further. Ali is the best. He sees everything, he cares about every detail. I have gone for bridesmaids dress, suits, and even a wedding dress. Perfection every time! The price is so reasonable, and super affordable for the quality that you're getting. I got my dresses hemmed and fitted and I couldn't be happier. I recommend Ali 100000000%!!! read more

Great place for alterations! The owner knows exactly what he is doing and is so knowledgeable. I was originally quoted almost 2x the price of my bridesmaid dress at a different place but came here instead and I have 0 regrets! Along with hemming my dress, The back of my dress did not lay down flat correctly and he fixed that for free! I will definitely bring any other clothes here in the future. read more

Got a jumpsuit for my event altered. I sent an inquiry through yelp and they responded in less an hour inviting me to come in. Originally said garment would be ready next day same time but they ended up finishing same day. Super quick and easy and did a great job. Service was also very affordable for small work. Will definitely come back when needed. read more

Ali always takes amazing care of me with alterations and tailoring! I came upon his store after recently moving to Mountain View, he helped adjust some jeans for me so they fit my body shape better, they're my fav pair of jeans now. I have been going to him ever since with anything and everything! He just recently altered my bridesmaid dress so it was perfect for my bestie's wedding. Couldn't recommend enough!! read more

It is always a pleasure to come by my neighborhood tailor. The owner is super friendly and always willing to help. I especially thought they did a great job on hemming I needed done for a bridesmaid dress this summer! I also think the prices are very fair read more

Ali saved my wedding dress, and I'll only come here for any other alterations from now on! I had originally wanted to come to Ali because he has the best reviews in the area, but my bridal shop recommended a female tailor who specializes in wedding dresses. Since I needed bust alterations, I figured I'd go with the recommended female tailor. Unfortunately the other tailor sewed the sleeves asymmetrically, made the fabric puckered in the back, left visible hanging threads, and didn't secure the cups well so they slid and were visible from the side. With only a week left before the wedding, Ali fixed my dress and even noticed another fit issue that the previous tailor and my friends/family hadn't even noticed. Ali proactively asks a female assistant to help brides get into their dresses and was always extremely professional and respectful when he did have to lightly touch me to adjust the fit, so I was comfortable the whole time. Thanks so much Ali! You're the best!!! read more

Ali and his team do an amazing job at altering and repairing each item of clothing back to perfection. Whether it's a massive obvious tear or a broken zipper, my clothing comes back as good as new. Not to mention the pricing is affordable and good value. As someone with a love for vintage fashion and unique silhouettes, I'm always a bit weary about who repairs my dresses. So glad to have found a great tailor in this area and I will be coming back with any future clothes in need of some extra touches. read more

Came in to get my belt adjusted for a wedding I had that day, Ali was so kind, was able to add 2 holes to my belt. When I asked how much it would be, he said there was no charge. I insisted to pay for his service but he wouldn't take anything. Thank you Ali for your kind service, will be coming back. read more

This place has great service at reasonable prices, and I'd recommend Ali to anyone who needs tailoring work done.

Ali is excellent. Quality is top notch, and hours are extremely convenient. I first came here to get a bridesmaid dress fitted, but since then I have started getting clothes altered far more frequently because it is just so easy. Why settle for store bought clothes that almost fit but aren't perfect when it is so easy to get it tailored by Ali? read more
