I needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed ASAP. Flora was able to alter it that night at 9:30 PM. It took less than an hour and looked great! Pricing was very fair as well. read more

Flora was amazing! After getting quotes over $200 just for it to be cut shorter and being told my pleated dress would be difficult and take weeks, I went to her instead. She quoted me $60, hemmed it in about an hour, and did everything on the spot with precision. Super fast, affordable, and great quality--highly recommend Flora's Alterations! read more

I went to Flora's to get some pants hemmed. If you want same day alterations, this is the place to go. She is pretty quick. She did the hemming right then and there for me. For four pairs of pants, I was in and out of there in about 40 min, so be prepared to try on your clothes and wait a little bit depending on how much you need done. I also recommend calling her beforehand to gauge her availability as she can get busy. Overall, I was really happy with how my pants turned out. read more

Someone posted Flora's alterations on Tik Tok & they had nothing but great things to say. All which I agree with because WOW! My friend & I walked in at 6:55pm & was on the road by 7:25pm. She was quick ! We were surprised we walked up and she just chopped my pants without measuring but I still went into her little room to try them on and she cut pretty perfect. LOL Decent work for how quick & cheap it is. I NEEDED them done before this weekend and she delivered! read more

Flora was absolutely amazing! I had a last-minute emergency on the day of a wedding dress had already been altered, but when I tried it on, but bummer it was still too long. I was in a total panic, and Flora completely saved the day !! Keeping mind it was 7:30PM on a Saturday evening nobody was open :( Good thing Floras 24 hour service popped up on google She hemmed my entire mermaid dress while I waited and had it finished in under an hour. Not only was she incredibly fast, but the quality of her work was flawless. You would never know it was such a rush job because it looked so perfect! Flora is professional, talented, and clearly an expert at what she does. I can't recommend her enough for any alterations, big or small. Truly a lifesaver! And on top of all that she even ironed it for me plus great prices as well read more

The entrance is thru the back alley way. You can park in her driveways but don't block other cars. Went in with a friend to fix two dresses since they were a bit too long. She has you change in a small room outside than you walk inside and she will measure what she's cutting. Than she will tell you when to come back. She told us an hour so we went to go eat. We came back and the dresses were done. She has you try them on to make sure you're happy with it. I tho k she laid about 50 bucks. read more

She is QUICK, efficient, and reasonably priced. I loved my experience here. Cash only, so plan ahead!

She is an absolute, literal lifesaver! Right before my sister's wedding, disaster struck and my dress would not zip at all. In a complete 10-hour sprint, she took the entire dress, completely took out the zipper, and flawlessly reworked the whole thing into a stunning, gorgeous corset back. It fits like an absolute dream and turned into a truly magnificent piece. Her customer service is unmatched, she is an unbelievably fierce hard worker, and she is so incredibly true to her craft. To pull off that level of perfection under that kind of pressure is nothing short of magic. I am endlessly grateful! Highly recommended anyone to go here. Thank you Flora!! read more

Flora was great and straight to the point. The alterations were fast and done within 15 minutes! Just got a shirt tailored for a uniform.

She did amazing and fast work, my dress was expensive from revolve and I took a chance and she did an amazing job on my satin slip dress, and only $30! read more

I came to Floras to get a shirt and some jorts taken in and she was able to get me out of there in less than 20mins for only $25!! She's very fast and she didn't even have to measure/pin me & my clothes fit perfectly! 10 out of 10 definitely recommend. Tip: She only accepts cash. Gracias Flora! read more

Flora was super helpful and fixed my dress same day. Super easy and great value. Cash only! 10/10 will be coming back to her for my future alterations. read more

She is amazing! Super fast and great quality of work. Both times I have gone in to get something altered she had my clothes done in just a few hours. Also made some adjustments for me on the fly. Will definitely be back read more

Amazing work!! I needed my bridesmaid dress hemmed for a wedding that was a week away and she got it done a couple of hours same day I went. Beautiful stitching and glad it was done way before. Highly recommend and very affordable. read more

Flor's while-you-wait model of alteration is new to me and was perfect. Even though there were multiple customers there needing service, the whole thing only took 35 mins start to finish. I arrived with pants to hem. Flor had me put on the pants then asked how short I wanted them (just off the ground). She took a good look at the length, then took the pants & did a perfect hem without even pinning them up! She even copied the double-hem look of the original. Friendly & affordable, highly recommend. read more

Flora is an angel, she helped me repair my uniform the day before work. I'll be coming back here from now on to tailor my clothes. I highly recommend her. The pricing is great too. read more

Had the best experience here! I came very last minute to get my wedding guest dress altered and she was very quick, efficient, and so so kind! She is such a hard working lady and she is truly phenomenal at what she does!! read more

They did a good job and got it out to me fast, but the seamstress was unfortunately both unkind and unprofessional towards me. This isn't a business I recommend going to if you are a sensitive individual and have anxiety. I left feeling uncomfortable and crying, so I will not be back because of this. The young man who took my payment at the end was very sweet and helpful though. If you don't mind those details and just want a quick and affordable alteration- then this is a good option, especially if you're in the area. Highly recommend bringing cash to avoid being cursed out and when she calls you to tell you it's ready, she expects you to pick it up right there and then or she'll be pissed. read more

Incredible. I called at 6pm, had my suit pants and jacket with Flora by 7:30p, and she had it finished by 9pm. And at a very reaonsable price. Highly recommend! read more

Flora altered cafe curtains for my kitchen and it was a great experience! I called and she said she could do them today. She took time to understand what I needed and worked quickly. I think I was only there about 10-15 minutes. Thank you, Flora! read more

Came in to have 2 dresses taken in and she did it in less than 20 mins! Beyond impressed, and they looked SO much better!

I reached out to Flora via text on Friday evening (9pm), looking for same day service. Flora said she was available now (Remember, it's 9pm!!!). I didn't think she was going to respond at 9pm. I wasn't able to make it at 9pm, but she was available the following morning. I needed my pants to be hemmed up, one inch. She had me try on my pants, with my shoes, and asked me to come back in an hour. Less than one hour later, my pants were ready for pickup, and she did a Great Job!!! You cannot beat the price, especially for Same Day Service!! Park in the back of her house, through an alleyway. Forgot to mention, her son Carlos, was very professional and friendly. read more

I needed same day hem on (2) pair of jeans too long and wide for me & Dona did the job! She does everything from her outside garage area, in which you come around from the back. Quick service, great sizing and snitching was very clean. I will definitely be coming back to her for all my other future hemming needs:) pricing is great as well! $15 per jean (shorting and sizing the pant legs down) read more

It's true, Dona has this ability to look at you and know your measurements. This is a first for me and I think it could be a superpower. Really fast service and prices are good. Honestly I will be back. Most tailors say 3-6 weeks and I think that is insane to hem pants. read more

Responsive, clear directions, reasonable pricing, and super fast turnaround time. I needed pants hemmed in 2 days and they texted 2 hours later they were ready for pickup. They had lots of clients coming and going and I can tell this is a trusted business and will be back for any alteration needs. read more

Quick and detailed alterations for whatever you need. I brought a pair of jeans in, and Flor & Flora had me taken care of in no time. Highly recommended. read more

Flor is very talented and loves what she does. I had the opportunity to meet her earlier today when I went in to get my dress shortened since it was too long. I was impressed by how efficient she is with her work. Also, the dress was ready the same day and the cost was economical! I definitely recommend her for any alteration needs and I plan on returning to her as needed for her expertise! Thank you. read more

Flora's Alterations - This is the dress that I took to her. She fixed the length of the dress and some of the sequins on it. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Diego, California

I heard a lot of good things about Flora's alterations, I called her and she let me come right away, I had some jeans that I need tailored bc they were too long, I thought they would be tailored, she had me hold them up, and she cut them with scissors, she made me try them on, I paid $10 for them to be cut with scissors I was a little upset but not too much bc they ended up being fine, I had some other jeans I was going to bring her to fix that were also too long but I didn't want to pay some one $10 to cut them, I ended cutting them myself and cut them too short :( read more

We were genuinely excited to work with Flora after reading many positive reviews. As strong supporters of small, local businesses, we made a point to bring our business to her in the hopes of finding a trustworthy, skilled tailor we could continue to go to for years to come. Sadly, what we experienced was deeply disappointing on multiple levels - from poor communication and rude behavior to a complete lack of professionalism and care. From our very first phone call, Flora's tone was abrupt and cold. While I can appreciate someone who is efficient and direct, her approach came across as unnecessarily rude and dismissive. Despite that, I chose to move forward, hoping that her work would speak for itself. I had asked her before any work began how much it would cost to have the dress hemmed just a few inches. She clearly stated $50. Though that seemed a bit high for such a simple alteration, I agreed to the price in good faith. However, after she completed the job, she called to let me know it was ready - and casually informed me the total was now $70. There had been no mention of a price change, no added work discussed, and no prior communication. I was completely blindsided. When I questioned the increase, she offered no explanation nor did she offer an apology. That alone left me frustrated and disheartened. But what I discovered when I got home was even worse. This dress is my wedding dress - something I entrusted to her with the expectation of care and attention. When I tried it on at home, I was utterly speechless to find that the train had four visible dark skid marks on the fabric - clear streaks that absolutely were not there before. I don't know how this could have happened during a simple hem, and even more upsetting, there was no mention of any issue when we picked it up. It's hard to describe the level of complete heartbreak I felt in that moment. Now, just 2 weeks out from my wedding, I'm having to get this special piece to the dry cleaners. To say I'm disappointed doesn't even begin to cover it. What should have been a simple and joyful step in preparing for my wedding has now become a source of stress and extreme sadness. I expected honesty, professionalism, and a basic level of care - all of which were glaringly absent in this experience. This was not just a bad business transaction; it felt like a total disregard for the trust a customer places in someone handling something as meaningful as a wedding dress. I will not be returning, and I cannot in good conscience or good faith recommend Flora's services to anyone else. read more

Flora is something else! She had me put my Mexico jersey on and just with her seeing it told me to take it off, fixed it up in a couple minutes and it was to my exact fit. Amazing quality work done by her at a great price for same day. Definitely worth it. read more

I had a great experience with Flor! She works super fast but still puts out really solid quality--everything came out exactly how I needed it. I was on a tight timeline and asked for expedited service, and she actually finished ahead of schedule with no problems. Her pricing was also really fair, especially for how quick the turnaround was. Definitely recommend if you need something done quickly and done well! read more

Flora is excellent, she is so skilled and efficient and a kind person as well. Her pricing is very fair, especially given how quickly she is able to provide service. I brought in a couple vintage items, including a had me down dress with torn sleeves I thought I had damaged beyond repair, and she was able to alter it beautifully. She was able to get the dress back to me within a couple hours, and the skirt and pants I needed more minor alterations to she did on the spot. I can tell she is busy, but still takes the time to attend well to her customers. I would highly recommend her to anyone, particularly if time is of the essence. Muchísimas gracias Flora! read more

Flora was absolutely amazing! I needed two pairs of pants altered and she did it in just 30 minutes. Quick, efficient, and good price. Would absolutely recommend going! read more

I called around 11am to ask about cinching in my waist on my Levi jeans. I spoke with a young man. He said just to let him know when I was thinking about coming by. I asked if he could do same day and the pricing. I wanted to make sure that the jeans could be adjusted based on my weight. Which he informed me the cost could be $5 to $15. I brought a pair of pants to show a previous alteration that I had on another Levi Jean. A woman greeted me. She took one look at it and said I can do that didn't even have to put on the pants. You can tell that she has been doing this for a while because all she needed to do was look at was my waist and started to do the alteration right in front of me, the process took about 10 minutes. Before she finalized everything she had me try them on and they fit perfectly. She was super friendly & professional. I will definitely be coming back. At the end it ended up being $20 read more

I highly recommend Flor. I went in morning and in less the 30 mins all 6 pairs of pants hems were done.

Dona Flor is so talented, and so fast. A bit awkward to get parked from the alley, but her operation is impressive. She works in the carport and garage of a home, with several sewing machines at the ready. Her work is professional and affordable. read more

I brought a lot of curtains for alterations and hemming, they did a great job! The work was excellent and very reasonable! Thank you! We will be back again! read more

Flora did a great job in short notice yesterday, a Sunday no less, and made my alteration come through. She is very reasonable in her pricing and it is truly a blessing to be able to have something done same day. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you! read more
