    I somehow managed to tear the shoulder area of one of my favorite suit coats.(See the photos.) Tears on shoulders are tough to fix since it's not a flat surface. Luckily a local dry cleaner suggested I try Valley Custom Tailor -- across the street from Valley Fair. I'm glad I did. Dina quoted me $130 and about a week to repair. The repair process is called reweaving. They take cloth from the hemline of the pants and use it to replace the damaged area. They essentially have to weave back in every strand. The result is nearly flawless. In my case, you can notice the work if you look really closely since my jacket has faded slightly as compared to the pristine fabric on the inside of the pant leg. As Dina said, I'm good to go now for another 5 years. I still don't know how the rip happened though.

    I had a great experience working with Dina, and was extremely pleased with the results. I'm planning on returning many times.

    I've been coming here for nearly 20 years. Kim usually does decent work but a few recent…read moreexperiences have me questioning her integrity. I've brought in plenty of pants for tapering, shortening, taking in the waist, etc. Last winter I brought in pants that were off the rack and a little long with a 32 length. As usual, I tried them on with shoes and Kim helped measured the length to shorten and I picked them up a week later. Super quick process. I didn't try them on at pickup since I had a lot of work done by her previously so I had no reason to doubt her work. Unfortunately I went 3 months without wearing them but when I did, they were still far too long so I had to bring them in again. I explained the situation and when she examined the pants, she told me it was still the factory stitching so there wasn't any work done by her or any other tailor. I was surprised by that, and that she didn't recognize her own work. I assured her I brought them in just a few months prior. When she remeasured the length, she marked to pants to shorten another 1 1/8 in. She said that she always cuts the length requested by customers and so it was my fault and had to pay again for work on the pants. I have all my pants around 29 inseam so this obviously was not accurate and rather annoying she tried to blame me for the incorrect length since she was the one who previously measured. I needed them done so I went ahead. I didn't want to leave a review about this but the following experience was embarrassing and needed to share. I recommended her shop to a friend who needed to shorten the length of 2 curtains but had a horrible experience. At pickup, Kim casually mentioned that 1 of the curtains were already damaged at drop-off and that she decided to do a free patching for the damage. My friend was not notified of any damage prior to pickup, and furious there wasn't any sort of communication. She couldn't even return the "already damaged" curtains because of Kim's unilateral decision to patch the hole. I felt responsible so I sent my friend $600 to cover the cost of curtains. If there was truly damage already, why wouldn't you inform the customer first to decide options?! This used to be my go to tailor but it's now on my blacklist.

They suggested putting a hook on it instead of replacing the zipper since it would be cheaper and look better. They said it would be ready Friday by 3pm because of Labor Day and the weekend. I came at 2pm on Friday, and apparently they had just started working on it (like literally they started working on it once I checked in). They pointed at the 3pm pickup time on my receipt like I was the one who messed up. I mean you had almost a week to do a 10 minutes job? I came back Tuesday, and honestly, the hook looked terrible. It was huge, poorly sewn, and just looked like a rushed job. I'm not even good at sewing, but I could've done a better job. If they had just told me they needed more time, I would have been completely fine with it. It was the attitude and the quality of the work that really disappointed me. Luckily my friend helped me to fix it and now it looks much better, but also, was it really that hard to put a small hook in the first place?

I was immediately greeted by Ali who treated me kindly, professionally, and guided me through the process with the immense range of clothes I brought from pea coats to jeans to suede jackets. Everything he did was fantastic and looks like it was hand-crafted for me. All prices were more than reasonable and I got all sorts of new things to wear. I should have posted a review then but I absolutely had to after my latest. On Tuesday, I tried on a dress I was intending to wear at a wedding that I leave for on Thursday and noticed to my dismay it did not fit how I wanted and was too low-cut. I immediately ran over in a complete panic to see if it was even possible to fix in... one day. It's a silk/satin fabric with a unique cut so I wasn't optimistic. Ali took it in stride and finished it IN ONE NIGHT. He did an incredible job, was super respectful and considerate when trying to figure out what adjustments to make, and I'm so grateful! Any time I ever have tailoring, I know who to go to and can't recommend him enough. THANK YOU!!!
