    I've been a regular customer here for 3 years, and spent more than a few bucks. She always delivers 100% master craftsmanship... Sturdy repairs, slick alterations, and fair prices, too. Kaiser S Los Angeles

    They hooked us up right after we bought tuxedoes down the street. Got our alterations done the same day and they did it right!

    We love LA vista! We had a last minute emergency with my husband's suit for our wedding. They were…read moreable to fit him in and get the suit tailored in time for us. Quite literally saved the day! They are local to our area, and are our go to when we need something tailored! Great people, clean space! Could not recommend more!

    Part 1 of the experience-…read more So far the service one would expect from a Mom (Maria) and Son (Fernando) duo is what's expected- Excited (The Son Fernando); attentive (The Mom Maria); engaging ( the Son Fernando compliments women picking up wedding dresses and talks sports with the fellas)- All AMAZING qualities to keep customers coming back- Especially on Saturday - Depending on what you are looking for in customer service, although AMAZING, the attention and excitement could be overwhelming- The customer service experience appears to be built on excitement and immediate response to customers entering the shop- We ALL like immediate response and attention to detail, however, we have our movements when we want calm, cool and collective- Wedding dresses were being picked up quickly, on time and without complaints from 4 soon to be Brides, a prom dress was being altered, while Maria took alterations in my three piece suits- Lastly, suit bags or other agency cleaner bagging options for your clothes will not be held or accepted. Instead, they ask that you take the bags you bring the clothes in, back home with you- be prepared to leave with the bags you bring- Attention to detail will be instrumental in the final review of the experience, as this is my first time using their services- Stand bye- May 19

    Downtown

    My wedding coordinator recommended Costura Lab for wedding dress alterations and I'm so thankful…read moreshe 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!!!

    This place is absolutely amazing! They do incredible work, and the staff here is not only warm and…read morefriendly 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!
