I absolutely love Chula Vista Taylor. There's such a welcoming, mom-and-pop feel to the shop that instantly makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She really listens and understands what you want, which makes all the difference.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

I had a formal dress hemmed and the v-neck adjusted. The hem was beautifully done and the seamstress was able to keep the lining and integrity of the bead work. Very professional work and completed in a timely manner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a busy shop though and they only have two fitting rooms for measuring, so if it is important go at least 10 days in advance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

$18 for a simple pants hem that was done in a few days. Will continue to go here for my short girl needs!

Great business! They're very professional and quick! Fair pricing as well. They also have parking which is a plus!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great, personable customer service at a fair price.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came in during the holiday party rush to get a shirt and jacket altered, and the experience was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ana made me feel very comfortable throughout the process, which I really appreciated since I tend to be tense in interpersonal situations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She explained everything clearly and had a calming, professional presence.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The workmanship was high quality and the final result looked great. read more

Very fast, was able to tailor my partner's work pants in less than a day. Highly recommend especially with a good price!

Had some hoodies I liked but wanted the hoods removed. The ladies exceeded my expectations and have brought new life to my wardrobe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you for the great service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Love them! I don't get much Tailored but when I do, it's almost ALWAYS last minute and they always provide quality relief in a pinch. I appreciate their efficiency and workmanship. read more

Honest and competitive pricing. Did as well as they could. Brought in a cashmere sweater that was in bad shape but now in much better wearable condition. And an italian silk shirt. Looks great and I'm able to resell it. read more

Second review! Went back to pick up my pants for a second time. Worse than the first time! Ana threw out 10 different reasons why they weren't fitting, including that I was moving too much during the measurements. Claims that she told me the first time I went they might not be able to get them to to fit the way I wanted them to. Which she did not. But why even try at all then? So they could charge me a ridiculous amount of money and say you can't pick up the items that still don't fit without paying your balance. Don't ever go here! I'll know better to read the reviews next time. read more

I came in to get my dress cut for my birthday she said it will be ready a month later 1 day before my birthday dinner. I came to pick it up the next day I wore it for my dinner dress and to my surprise it wasn't even cut it was the same way I brought it never got my money back read more

Wonderful experience very nice skilled tailor with many years of experience will make sure that your quinceanera or important function is handled correctly extreme attention to detail. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great customer service highly recommended serving the community for over 20 years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Was looking to have some patches sewn onto uniform shirts. Visited several different alteration/tailor shops & quoted prices ranging from $8-12 per patch, which is already extremely expensive. And this place? $14.00 per patch! With tax, it would have cost me $120.00 just to have this work done! Proceeded to visit another tailor on Main Street who did the job for $5.00 per patch. It's not surgery, simply affixing a few patches to some shirts. I'm also a small business owner, and understand the cost of overhead and associated expenses, but this is flat out price gouging. The owner may post a rebuttal to my review, bottom line is you're overcharging customers... many of whom are military, for a service that can be done for 1/2 the cost. Do better. read more

I've used their services a handful of times from just. Simple hem to fixing my whole pants to make them fit. They charge around $24 for the pants hem and about 10 I believe to fix my zipper. It was a bout a week wait to get my pants back but it's understandable. It's two sweet ladies working so patience is a must. Will become a regular here. Great work. read more

AVOID this place fellow Yelpers! Was looking for simple hem for daughter's graduation. Went to this place due to reviews. SO SO SO disappointed! Lady that greeted us was simply a delight! Glasses, dark hair, slim ( didn't catch her name) asked when I needed dress by- it was Thursday before daughter's graduation (literally 1week) She smirked and looked at the "lightly fluffy", ANGRY LOOKING,short tempered, lady sitting behind sewing machine. *Big lady straight said NO! *Nice lady asked, "well how much would you charge her IF we could do it...." *Big lady- "$55.00!!! And we "might" be able to do it!" *Nice lady- (after she saw my face of utter shock at what the fat lady said) "Go to other places and see if you can find cheaper place. IF you don't come back HAPPILY drove away and was divinely guided to place where they had dress ready 2 days early, charged $23 and did an AMAZING job! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME...... read more

I needed a couple pants to be hemmed and I needed it quick. I contacted the business through Yelp and Juan responded pretty quick. Drove to the business and was helped immediately. Both ladies were courteous and service was completed same day. Thank you so much! read more

I've brought in a puffer jacket that I wanted taken in, leggings that needed hemming, and a sweater that had a hole in it. Each time I've picked up, I wondered if anything was even done to them - that's how good their work is! Very reliable and will be taking in everything to them from now on. Thank you! read more

Chula Vista Tailor - Hemmed my 28 1/2 inch leggings to 25 inches. Their hemming is impeccable. Looks exactly like how I bought them! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I had a yellow sweater that I have had for over 15 years and it had so many little snags and holes. The shoulder part just finally started to unravel. Most people would have thrown it out but it's one of my favorite sweaters. I can't find this color anymore. My husband brought it into this lovely shop and 2 weeks later he brought it back to me all fixed. He brought it in to fix the shoulder part and they even fixed all the little holes. They're the best!! read more

You have to have a reliable tailor. Whether you get fitted regularly or just for emergency situations. CV Tailor is my new go place. They fixed one of my suits so it wouldn't looks straight out of Macys. Fixed sleeve length, fixed pants length, and pants waist. The end result was professional, and on time. read more

I needed some pants hemmed, but didn't have time to drive out to Mission Valley to go to my usual tailor, so I took a chance here. No regrets! The women were very kind and were able to accommodate my quick turnaround. Will definitely be coming back here! The only thing is depending which way you're coming from, it might be difficult to navigate getting into the parking lot because of the drive thru line from Starbucks next door. I almost missed the driveway because the Starbucks line was out into the street. read more

A friend of mine recommended this place when I needed a seamstress so I brought my dress here to get altered. The ladies at the shop are so sweet and gave me professional suggestions for my dress. One thing that could improve the shop is if they upgrade the curtain dressing room to a more private space because sometimes the curtains move/open up and you could accidentally expose yourself. That would be embarrassing. Overall, I'm glad to know this shop exists. My search for tailor shops is over :-) I will be coming back here for future dress alteration needs. read more

Located right next to Starbucks, it's the building on the left. Overall, they provided quick and good service. Brought one of my leather jackets in and they said it'd be ready the next day at noon. It was less than $10 bucks! Will be back! read more

They did an excellent job but cost can sometimes be expensive. My daughter bought a pair of pants that were too long, but the alteration cost more than the brand new pants. I think 60 bucks so that was a little surprising. read more

Good work, nice seamstress, reasonable prices and respect timely service. Good hours read more

I have used this business several times and always very pleased with their service. I recommend them to anyone who needs alterations done.

I went to Chula Vista Tailor with a simple alteration which they performed well. $45.00 for shortening a hem was not good value. Disabled customers should be aware that the entrance was very "disabled unfriendly. I had to send my spouse to pick up the work. I refused to return because it was too hard to get in the shop. This disabled customer will not be returning. read more

Great work. They changed the taper on my suit pants for a more modern fit. Only cost $22, and they finished on time. Only bad things is that the parking lot was pretty ragged. read more

I'm very satisfied with my curtains. The owner did an amazing job. I needed my curtains split from 86 in to est 40in since my window is smaller in the new place. He did exactly as i needed done for a reasonable price too. I will definitely be back and I recommend this place for any alterations. Friendly service, responsive to my yelp questions and met my time frame. read more

Uniforms fit perfectly, I will be coming back here anytime I need a quality tailor. Thank You!!

Our teenager ordered a dress online and needed the sides hemmed. We walked in on a Tuesday and we're scheduled for a Friday pick up. A smaller studio with ample free parking. A single changing room partitioned with black out curtains. A full length mirror and lengthy counter space for customer transactions. Cash and credit cards accepted. No waiting room or public restroom. Friendly and professional service. Turnaround time is dependent on seamstress and service requested. When we arrived the owner was assisting a customer with several brand new pairs of jeans. Another male was busy at a sewing machine station. A female approached the counter and politely asked what we needed (hemming) and when we needed it (Friday). Having very limited alteration knowledge I inquired on the requested service, level of detail required, and cost if time wasn't a barrier. The seamstress assisted with her fitting and charged a nominal fee. Minus one star as we were initially denied service (without viewing the actual dress) based on our request for a 72 hour turnaround. read more

I needed to get my dress hemmed and left my dress at the shop for 4-6 business days just to go pick it up and it not be fully finished. I got home the night before the big event and found my dress was not fully done. I rushed over the next day asked them for help and instead of right away apologizing the owner said "oh no, I saw the seamstress work on it" then the seamstress proceeded to just argue she had completed and not fully taking responsibility for her actions and made me feel as if I was in the wrong for needing to get my dressed fixed. Honestly wished they would have refunded me for such a stressful experience. She told me it be 5 mins but didn't even seem to want to fix it. Finally I got my dressed fixed and she ended up apologizing but all the seamstress did was argue. I feel bad for the owner because she has to suffer the consequences of her employees ruining her business! Best of luck to this business I will not be returning! read more

Great business and service! I was looking for a tailor to hem a pair of bell bottom pants. I searched through Yelp and received a prompt response from Juan the owner.

I was in a bind and needed a last minute alternation for my bridesmaid dress. When I say last minute, I mean 2 days before the event. My Bridesmaid dress had a train I wanted to get rid of and the dress itself was about 3-4 inches too long. I contacted them and they asked me to bring in my dress the same day! I rushed over and forgot to bring my heels for the fitting. Thankfully, there was a pair that was my exact size. "It's like Cinderella", they said (so cute!). I got to pick up my dress the following day before closing time and I was more than happy with the alterations. Chula Vista tailor saved me and I am so grateful. Amazing customer service, top notch quality work and fair pricing. I cannot emphasize how happy I am to have found this jem of a tailor. Thank you all so much. You've gained a loyal customer! read more

I needed a pair of pants tailored before I took a trip. I contacted Juan on Yelp and he responded right away and promised they could have them ready before my departure. I was nervous when I got there because the shop is busy! However, my pants were ready as promised and quality work at a fair price. I'm happy I finally found a reliable and efficient tailor. Thank you! read more

Staff is friendly and reliable. They kindly had my dress alteration ready with a short notice.

I brought a brand new coat in, the sleeves were too long. They were able to get the work done and return it to me in time for an important engagement. I appreciate their hard work and extra effort. The price was very fair and they did a beautiful job! This will be our goto Tailor moving forward. read more
