My wedding coordinator recommended Costura Lab for wedding dress alterations and I'm so thankful she did! Sofia is so fun, sweet, and easy to work with. She took every one of my requests and concerns very seriously and worked tirelessly to leave me feeling totally comfortable and confident! My dress is completely covered in beading and very heavy as a result which added to the challenge. She hemmed (which, because of the beading, involved hammering one bead at a time), moved and shortened straps (multiple times until I was 100% happy), added four bustles (first adding two, and then designing strategic and beautiful placement of two more), and painstakingly hand-stitched (while squatting on the floor for two hours) around the hem to "glue" many inner layers together (to keep me from tripping on inner layers of tulle). She also tailored a silk shawl cover-up and made a beautiful scarf out of the excess silk. In the middle of all that work, I also came to her with a new need to somehow make the dress a lot more modest - I couldn't find anything that would work with my dress from bridal shops - so she designed and made two mesh long sleeve tops to wear under my dress. She made sure the beauty of my dress would not be compromised by the cover-up! By then I had very little time to make it downtown, so I took my own measurements and texted them to her, and the shirts still magically turned out perfect. I am someone that avoids downtown as much as possible, but I'll be making the pilgrimage a lot more often now to entrust the rest of my wardrobe to Sofia. Thank you Costura Lab!!! read more

This place is absolutely amazing! They do incredible work, and the staff here is not only warm and friendly but also exceptionally professional and highly experienced. I had my dress altered for my anniversary, and they made it perfect! exactly how I envisioned it. I also had a pair of pants tailored, and they turned out fantastic. Even though I don't live nearby, the drive is totally worth it for the quality and value of the service they provide. I highly recommend them 100%! Thank you so much Costura Lab!! I'll definitely be back soon! read more

I need four pairs of scrubs pants mended immediately and Costura Lab delivered. Not only was the owner, fellow sewer, kind but she had them done the same day! Her location is a few blocks from my job so in the morning I dropped them off and by mid afternoon they were ready. She had listen to my concerns and the need for a rapid turn around but I also understood she has other projects. Pants were perfectly done and at the length I asked for. Very well done. read more

Costura Lab is basically a miracle workshop disguised as a seamstress shop. Sofia does everything!!Seriously, I think if I asked her to sew me a parachute, a dress from any fabric, or a superhero cape, she'd definitely make it happen. Every stitch is perfection, and you can tell how hard she works because the results are always incredible!! Angie is also wonderful! She only speaks Spanish and I do not, but somehow we managed to understand each other perfectly, proof that good people (and good tailoring) are their own universal language. It felt less like dropping off clothes and more like visiting a friend who just happens to be able to fix or create absolutely anything. Extremely well priced! If you want someone reliable, skilled, and genuinely kind, this is the place. Costura Lab isn't just a seamstress shop, it's MAGIC with a sewing machine. Thank you ladies for EVERYTHING! read more

Excellent service, turnaround, and price! Will come back next time I need services - loved this place!

Thank you so much to costura lab for mending two dresses I had with holes in them. They did a wonderful job! I am still amazed by the attention to detail and at such a good price. Not too mention how fast the job was done. 10/10 service! I'm so happy I found them ( : thank you!! read more

Amazing service! Discovered on yelp, walked in to hem a pair of pants and repair a t-shirt. Was offered to have it done right away if I would be able to wait and was out of there in under 20 minutes. read more

So glad I found this place! I first brought in my bridesmaid dress to be hemmed and then decided to bring in jeans that needed hemming and a coat with a big hole. They're friendly, good at communicating, super fast, and have way better prices than other places I've tried. My dress was done in a week and for $20 less than everywhere else was quoting me. I also really appreciate the signs they have out to help you find their unit. Highly recommend! read more

I usually never write reviews for things, but I cannot say enough about Costura Lab and Sofia! The professionalism, quality, communication and artistry are all off the charts. Sofia is an unbelievable artist who can bring dreams to life. Meanwhile her technical expertise is simply mind blowing. And beyond all that she is a kind person. Sofia made a pattern for me for elevated loungewear and it is like wearing a cloud, and it looks beautiful and elegant too! I get so many compliments on the pieces. She has also taken out a couple pairs of pants for me in a project that was quite complicated for most folks but she made it look easy. And she also lined some other pants for me in linen and made them very comfy. She is just so creative and fun to work with. Thank you so much Sofia & Costura Lab! read more
