I've been here before, back in February 2026 to have a bridesmaid dress altered and they did a…read morewonderful job, so I didn't hesitate to return. Unfortunately, my experience this time was completely different. I brought in a simple double layered dress that only needed to be hemmed and was quoted $140, more than the dress itself! I was told that because it had two layers, it was essentially like "hemming two dresses." At $70 a layer, I guess every layer counts. I then asked about simply taking in the waist of a pair of jeans. I was initially quoted $25, but after looking at them again, I was told there was suddenly "a lot more work" involved and that I had been quoted incorrectly. At that point, I took both items and left. I went to another alterations shop and was quoted under $100 for BOTH the dress and the jeans. It seems management may have changed since my last visit, which is unfortunate because I was previously very happy with their work. Hopefully the pricing doesn't continue in this direction, because $140 to hem a simple dress is pretty hard to justify.

Ira and the team were all super professional and very patient with me since wedding dress alterations can be a stressful process. The online scheduling system was very good and i was able to schedule to follow up appointments in advance before the final fitting. Would totally recommend Imperial Alterations to anyone who is looking for dress alterations, they have a lot of wedding dress experience.

What really sets them apart, though, is how quickly they get to know your preferences. There's something uniquely satisfying about having someone who understands your style and anticipates what you're looking for in an alteration--it makes the entire process seamless and genuinely enjoyable. I always leave feeling confident in the work and well taken care of. Highly recommend for anyone who values quality, consistency, and a truly personalized experience.

I've been working with Mustafa Tailoring for over six years, and in that time Mustafa has done…read morecountless alterations. Quite simply, he is exceptional. By my count, he's done over 20 suits What sets Mustafa apart is not just technical skill (which is outstanding), but his eye for proportion, balance, and fit. He understands how a suit should move with the body, how it should sit on the shoulders, and how subtle adjustments completely change the presence of a garment. Every piece he's done for me fits impeccably and looks intentional -- never over-tailored, never generic. He's also incredibly consistent. Whether it's a business suit, something more relaxed, or a complex alteration, the results are always precise and dependable. Over the years, he's come to understand my preferences so well that I trust his judgment completely. If you're looking for a tailor who combines craftsmanship, experience, and genuine pride in his work, Mustafa Tailoring is as good as it gets. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

During a busy wedding season and moving, among other things pulling their attention, they did not show any signs of stress or rush. My dress was simple and did not need much altering, but they showed me the same care they would show to any client. They also helped me to get some money back on my dress for a slight imperfection, which paid for the alteration itself! There were multiple opportunities to upcharge me with additional alterations, but did not take them because the dress was fine as is. I appreciate that level of honesty in business and recognize their sincere integrity. This is the bridal experience you want!!!

This was off just having a terrible experience with some shirts getting butchered by the local dry cleaner, so I wanted a more professional take. I walked in completely clueless on a whim, tactlessly not making an appointment, and even though it was Juan's lunchbreak he still immediately took the time to see me and work with me. That said... let the man eat. Don't interrupt his break! I still feel bad about it!!! About the tailoring: Juan is just That Dude. He WILL make you look better and point out ways to make the clothes better compliment your body that others don't even know about. The pricing felt extremely fair and not at all like I was being overcharged for the amount and quality of work being done. Not only that, Juan did me a solid by getting the alterations done in-time with a big move out of state. Last minute, off of a random walk-in, and brother still treated me like I was a long time regular. And matter of fact, even though I'm going to be living down south I WILL still be getting my nicest clothing tailored by Juan. That's what his work is worth to me. 10/10 will be making sure I get my nephews' first suits tailored by him too

The first time I came in, the tailor was very friendly and treated me with respect. He charged me…read more$20 to tailor each pair of pants--I had three in total. Two months later, I returned to have two more pairs tailored, and this time he charged $30 per pair. I mentioned that two months ago the price was $20, not $30.

I left the store immediately. I will never go back.

I love this place but a few pointers for new people…read more 1) If you cannot deal with old world/old school attitude this might not be the place for you. They are blunt. I have been in there when people are told what they do not want to hear and complain the customer service is bad. They are just really blunt. 2) This kind of bleeds into the first point but the unfortunate reality is just because you spent a lot of money on a dress/clothing it does not make it quality. We want to think that as a consumer but at the end of the day a lot of bridesmaid dresses/ dresses from department stores for weddings are made super cheap and they let you know it because the quality of the garment is what gives them space to work. 3) It looks kind of messy in there and you NEED TO KEEP YOUR TICKET. A lot of us are used to modern computers but they are not functioning like that, this is a local, elder owned business. This is legitimately like going to a business in 1965, it has charm but you need to sort of feed into that and do it their way. 4) Give them time. The modern world is rush rush rush, but like I said this place is old school. I have personally bought multiple dresses here, some cheap, some very expensive. I never had a problem with the fit or service. This is not to say they are perfect but I think if you want a no frills alteration process I love them. Plus, Yvonne is hilarious if that's your humor.
