    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!

    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!!!

    Literally a hidden gem . The work is of quality & the turn around time is efficient. I've had two…read moredresses hemmed/taken in & I was really happy with the work. The price is fair too! I'm so happy I found this place & Sofia. I will definitely be back

    I wish I had before and after fit pics because what they were able to do is borderline miraculous!…read more I came with a very cheap shirt I got from Ross but loved it so much I just knew I needed to find a way for it to fit me. Finally, I took it in, tried it on and explained the issue. They explained that it would be $65 to alter and confirmed that's what I wanted since the cost of the shirt was so low. I confirmed and the work was done so quickly and expertly- the results absolutely blew my mind! I next took two pair of pants which needed the waists taken in and they were so perfectly done. And fast! So fast that when I went to pick up I had to double check that I had remembered the conversation correctly the first time.. thought I was losing it! I have more suits to bring when I have the time and they they deliver all that I've been hearing for years. I felt comfortable and in the best hands. Thank you!!

    I don't normally leave reviews, but this place was so good that I just had to! I went in to have…read moresome alterations done on a pair of jeans and a blouse, and Hamlet was absolutely amazing. They were able to take the vision I had and execute it perfectly! The customer service was also top-tier. They even delivered my items to me when I wasn't able to pick them up, which I really appreciated. From the quality of the alterations to the attention to detail and overall service, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'll definitely be going back for future alterations. 11/10 service.
