I recommend this tailor as they do great work and you WILL receive your suit or dress the same day; however, be prepared to wait. This place is ALWAYS super busy, especially now that most teenagers are purchasing prom dresses and suits/tuxedos. The line to get to the counter, as I write this review, is 17 people long. We were told there would be a 1.5-hour wait when we dropped off two dresses to be tailored, and we are now up to 2.5 hours with no end in sight. The employees are working as fast as they can, but they have a great deal of customers. Prices are very good and affordable. read more

Very busy especially on the weekends! The pricing is fair and quality of services are good. Don't expect to be extra catered to as this is in DTLA and basically a sweat shop with many seamstresses (male & female) working extremely hard. They work as fast as they can so be nice, and patient! read more

Told me it's was gonna be ready at 1:30 . Got there at 1:30 , told me to wait 30 mins more , just for them to barley start working on the dress read more

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the dress wasn't ready the day we were told to pick it up. We were told on Monday it would be ready on Friday. We knew they opened at 9 am but, had early appointments had some trouble getting through a lot of traffic down to DTLA. By the time we showed up (6pm) we were told the dress wasn't ready, and to "wait an hour". Not wanting them to rush job the dress (even though they had 4 days with it) we were understanding- they were very busy. So we just decided to come back the following day (going to the fashion district in the middle of a Saturday- i DO NOT recommend- parking is IMPOSSIBLE). Ultimately, they did a fabulous job turning a dress that was too small on me into a dress that actually fit me a lot better. They added fabric pretty seamlessly, and it turned out great. I didn't love how the one guy kind of slapped it over the hanger and didn't hang it up very nicely in the bag we provided, but all in all, I gave them a decently difficult task and they delivered pretty seamlessly, with a good turn around. The price was a little steeper than I was expecting, but..they work hard. So I gotta go with 4 stars. Thanks for helping make my bridesmaid dress one of a kind! read more

Horrible service. My clothes wasn't ready when I was told to pick it. Not only that. they haven't even started it yet. I had to wait over 2 hours for it to get started and finished. I don't feel the quality is good. it was very rushed. I WOULD NEVER recommend this place. read more

I needed a quick turn around on a sport coat and Edgar did not disappoint! He was able to make some minor adjustments and get the coat back to me in 1hr! read more

It's reasonable and if you aren't expecting state if the art perfection, you're going to get pretty darn good! There's pictures of celebrities up on the wall including Shack! If it's good enough for Super man its good enough for me! read more

Edgar's Tailor shop is one of the best (if not the best) tailor shop in the alleys! If you follow the directions on yelp, you'll end up at a blue stairway; take the stairs, make a left and you'll see the shop next to the massage spot. They're wearing masks; however, it gets packed so there's really no social distancing. They do have hand sanitizer. Also, cash only! They have pretty affordable prices to get your suits, dresses, jackets, dress shirts, jeans and other garments tailored. I took three suits to get the blazer tailored by the arms (shortened by the wrist), the width, and tailor/taper the slacks (they were too long and baggy by the calves and a bit lose on the waist-y'all know how a new suit fits). I ended up paying $160 for all three suits. That's pretty cheap considering that some places charge you $25 just to taper slacks. If you need something tailored on the same day (let's say for a Saturday night or Monday for work) make sure you go on Saturday/Sunday morning no later than 11AM. They will have your stuff ready in about two hours. If not, ask the guy doing the tailoring; he's a short fly Hispanic man (always dressed like a G) taking the measurements. He's got a lot of credit (street taper credit), just look up at the wall of all the pictures of artists and athletes whose clothes he's tapered. read more

You get what you pay for! They do okay work for what you need. But they have TONS of customers and there's only 3 people working in the back...so the stitches are rushed. Think about how many people come here everyday to get their dresses, suits, etc. tailored. Personally it was my first time coming here but the work they did was not very good. The measurements are rushed, they make a couple of folds and call it a day. If you're going to get a suit tailored and it's not very expensive you can take a chance here. If it's kind of expensive, go to a professional tailor. They'll take care of you better than this place will. read more

We have been coming to see Carlos to tailor our clothes for over two years now and him and his guys do an impecable job every time! We first came to him as a suggestion from a nearby suit place where we got all the groomsmen suits for our wedding, he tailored my husband and brother's suits impeccably and we've been his clients ever since. Definitely come see Carlos and his guys for great quality tailoring! read more

Es mejor pagar cuando el trabajo este terminado y que todo quede algusto, si pagas por adelantado el pedido no sera prioridad por que lla lo as pagado, tube una mala experiensia pesimo servisio no recomendable gastar tu dinero con estas personas. read more

Located in the Garment District, on the 2nd floor. I take my suits here for alterations, $25.00 - $35.00 for a suit. They do a good job and if your early you can pick it up the same day. Handy if you just got a suit for cheap in the Alley and you want to wear it the same day. Cash only! read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would. My dress was supposed to be ready since Saturday!!!! I gave them 4 extra days. I come and they can't find my dress , they find the dress and theyre barely going to cut it. They took an extra 4 hours !!! Unreliable and very unprofessional!!! Carlos is a bad owner and his work etiquette and promises are all Fake. No vengan aqui, perdedero de tiempo y dinero!!! Worst business ever!!!! read more

It's very fast service as I brought about 5 shirts I needed to be hemmed as well as a skirt for work and it took about 2 hours max. It's cash only, FYI. They really emphasize on doing quality work; when I still needed the shirt to be more tight, they were able to accommodate my request to have it fixed again. Everyone here is really polite. read more

I've been coming here for 10 yrs for alterations and they always have a quick turn around time. Their prices are more than reasonable and Carlos really takes care of his customers. They are busy during the weekends so I avoid coming here. Mon to Thurs is the best time. I came in this morning to have two jeans altered and he did it in 1/2 hr and half the price from other places. This place is my go to sastre when I'm in downtown for the quality and price. But plan ahead and timing is everything. read more

The worst left my dress since Sunday to be ready on Wednesday and come Wednesday they can not find my dress!!! What kinda place is this . took them more than 40 minutes to find it. worst customer service ever. read more

I don't hand out a lot of 5 star reviews on Yelp, but this place merits every single one of them! Not only is it a small business with excellent service, and excellent prices (20 bucks to have a suit tailored), the folks are friendly, fast, and efficient! I needed a suit in a pinch, so I picked up a nice slim fitting number from H&M at the Beverly Center, rushed over to the Garment District and found this place by word of mouth from a couple of street hawkers. A quick lunch and a brisk walk later, I was prancing around Santee Alley with a perfectly altered suit and a smile on my face! read more

I dropped off my pants for a simple enough hem. The guy told me it'd take 1 hour so I decided to come back. Well, I returned 2.5 hrs later and it still wasn't done. I had to wait another half hour.... The 1 star isn't completely for the extra time I had to wait, nor is it for the mediocre work; it's for the tailor who told me it would take 1 hour and when it took almost 3 hrs, did not explain or offer any apology or comp for my trouble. Not that I'd expect white glove treatment from a tailor in the middle of the fashion district (heck, I wouldn't even mind trash glove treatment), but service and common courtesy was nonexistent. read more

I love Edgar and his team. My work, casual and even wedding attire have been tailored here. No issues with loose buttons or mistakes. Their prices are competitive, and there's plenty of street parking a block East or south so you don't have to contend with the worse possible traffic. Usually an hour turnaround for a walk-in, so I use the opportunity to walk Santee Alley or grab food. read more

Given a couple of formal evening dresses for alterations over the last couple of years. They are always spot on with their work-I've never even had to go for a fitting or have them readjust anything. They are also reasonably priced and very quick. The last dress they offered to have it done within the hour. Good quality work you can count on and is well priced. read more

Came to get my suit tailored on a Saturday and was told that it'll be done by the following Wednesday. Came in On Thursday and it wasn't done. I've had a suit tailored here once and I was happy with the result but they seem to be lagging a bit now. Works ship is good just unreliable timing I suppose. read more

Horrible customer services you wouldn't get your close on time I have been to this place a lot and they never get my dress ready on time!! Carlos is a horrible person with attitude never apologizes. It's worse when you leave your close with them. Specially when your in a rush. I'm definitely not coming back I would rather pay more and get it done else where. read more

Great place to bring your long pants and dresses. They're amazing in what they do and they're FAST!!!

This place was amazing! Their turn around time was about an hour. I had a denim vest taken in for a sexier silhouette and had them add a snap closure to a dress jacket, both items were tailored seamlessly! Loved it. Very reasonably priced! They were super friendly too! read more

Fast and great service. I took a dress that I needed to hem near closing, they finished it in only 30 minutes and did an amazing job!!

Carlos is amazing I've been here many times and refer all my friends here they are fast and provide great quality work!!!

I'll keep in short..the best tailor shop I've gone to. A friend of mines recommended me this spot and i took suites,shirts, and pants for tailoring and wasn't disappointed. read more

This is the second time I take a bridesmaid dress to get hemmed/altered. I drive from San Diego and drop off my dress while I do some shopping. Great customer service and timely. $35 for everything is a great deal! They do get busy so get there early to make sure they have enough time to work on your garments. Will be back again! read more

Terrible, I definitely don't recommend this place.My friends and I went here to get our suit pants shorten. We were told it would take a hour but we was in there for more than 2 hours. We watch people and parties of people come in and go while we waited. After 2 hr and 30 mins we asked why it was taking so long and only got excuse! Never coming here again!! Do yourself a favorite and find another shop. read more

Terrible, terrible customer service. We took a suit here to be altered upon referrals. After trying on the suit and the guy pinning everything in place, he told us it would be 1.5 hours. We said okay and decided to walk around Santee Alley and find something to eat to kill time. Came back an hour later, saw the jacket hanging on the wall, so my fiance asked if that was completed. The guy responded (lied) that it was, but the pants were not. So we waited another half an hour and still nothing. By now, it had already been 1.5 hours like they had told us, but still nothing was done. During the wait, we saw a few other people bring in their garments to be altered and they all got their garments before us. I thought, okay maybe it takes longer for the suit. So we waited for another half an hour, still nothing. So my fiance checked with them again and they handed him the "completed" pants to try on. He tried on his pants and we both waited another half an hour for his jacket, which was supposedly had been completed an hour ago. By now, we had waited for 2.5 hours. The jacket did not even come out right. The inside lining showed through the bottom. Bad workmanship, bad customer service. Never ever coming back! I'd rather pay $20 more for better customer service and work. read more
