    I will never go anywhere else! My daughter's prom dress didn't arrive in time. We found a substitute less than 2 hours before prom but it was too big. I literally ran down Melrose and begged Francisco to help us. It's not like we were long time customers... he'd never seen us before. But though he was clearly busy, he stopped in the middle of his work and fixed the dress so it fit perfectly. You would never know it had been altered. An incredibly kind man and SO skilled! Spread the word! This is a business owner who clearly cares!

    This is a sofa pillow - different color due to lighting.  You can't even tell it was torn!

    He did a great job adjusting my suit for my wedding and the price point was reasonable. Would definitely use them again.

    I worked with this dry cleaner for years and spent thousands upon thousands of dollars with them,…read moreso I am extremely disappointed to have to write this. Their seamstress permanently damaged two of my designer dresses during alterations. I was very clear, multiple times, about where I wanted the alterations made. Instead, she chose to alter them in different places, cut into the dresses, and sewed them into new spots that I did not approve. The result was not what I asked for, and the damage is not realistically repairable back to the original condition. At first, they acknowledged the issue and told me they would compensate me for the damage. Now, they have completely gone back on that and are ignoring me. After years of being a loyal customer and giving them a significant amount of business, it feels like they were only happy to communicate when I was paying them. They are also one of the most expensive dry cleaners I have ever used, which makes this even more frustrating. For the prices they charge, I would expect professionalism, accountability, and basic care with valuable garments- not unauthorized alterations, permanent damage, and then being ghosted when it comes time to make it right. I would strongly caution anyone from trusting them with anything valuable, sentimental, designer, vintage, or difficult to replace. I regret giving them my business for as long as I did.

    5 Stars - Lifesaver Before the Emmys!…read more I came to LA for the Emmys and the night before my flight, I tried on my dress--only to realize it was way too big. I had lost a bit of weight and the fit was completely off. The dress looked boxy and frumpy, and I honestly started to panic. Thankfully, I found Lina--the amazing owner of Alterations Et Al in West Hollywood. I reached out and she invited me to bring the dress in to see what could be done. She was so warm, kind, and professional--and even with the tight turnaround, she agreed to take on the rush job. The dress needed a lot of work, but when I picked it up, it fit like a glove. It looked flawless and felt like it had been custom-made for me. Lina is not only incredibly talented, but also fast, detail-oriented, and just lovely to work with. So many people told me I looked beautiful that night--and a few even said I was one of the best dressed. That's 100% thanks to Lina's amazing work. She truly saved the day, and I'll be forever grateful. (Sharing a few pics here so you can see her magic!)

    FYI as of 6/30/2023, Lina's new address is: 8961 Sunset Blvd…read more Lina is incredible! So much attention to detail and knows how to creatively solve any sort of fashion emergency! Usually I am in no rush for alterations from Lina but I had an emergency red carpet event that I needed a dress tailored in 1 week and Lina came through! I felt beautiful and comfortable, all thanks to Lina's magic touch. Although I moved across town, I still drive to West Hollywood because I don't allow anyone else to touch my clothes other than Lina. Great prices and great quality of work!

I don't live close but the alterations done on my clothes have been so amazing it is worth the drive. I have taken my oversized suits, formal dresses and gowns to get them altered and you would think I bought it that way. Incredibly professional and such a delight to visit. It can be pricey but I think when you are altering very expensive clothing, it is worth it. Especially with the way clothes are made so by heap nowadays. If you have a good base/foundation to work with and good fabric... do what I did and save the clothes! Get them altered here. You won't be sorry

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

    I've gone to this tailor multiple times because the location is convenient. He does overcharge, but…read morein the past the work was at least acceptable--so I kept going. That changed with my most recent suit. The alterations were objectively bad. The jacket was visibly lopsided: one sleeve was about an inch longer than the other, one side of the jacket hadn't been taken in at all, and the pants were tapered far too tight. To make matters worse, the elbow seam hadn't even been sewn properly. I had already paid, so when I pointed all this out, I was told to bring the suit back and they'd "take care of it." Fine. Mistakes happen--what matters is how they're handled. When I picked up the suit after the supposed fixes, I was charged again for correcting their own mistakes. That's the real issue here. They do not stand behind their work. If the outcome is wrong, the responsibility is pushed back onto the customer. That's poor craftsmanship paired with poor ethics. You don't pay for an attempt--you pay for a finished result. If a tailor won't honor the quality of their own work, that's a red flag. I'd strongly recommend finding another tailor, and explicitly asking upfront whether they stand behind their alterations. These guys do not.

    Well, I held off on this for a while. I actually don't lie writing bad reviews, but Rudy's has gone…read moreout of their way to earn it. So, as you may or may not know, Rudy's handles overflow for the Tom ford store on rodeo. So I took my Tom ford suit there. They seemed to undertand the aesthetic (obviously) and angel didn't need to be prompted to balance the sleeves so I was fine with them doing the tailoring. He told me it would take a week, but I have then a little longer-- I'd pick up the suit on a Thursday morning for a Saturday wedding. This way, if there are issues, they can be fixed. Well, it wasn't done Thursday morning but was told it would be done by 4. So I rearranged my day to drive from culver to weho at 4 pm. Guess what? It wasn't done. So I then had to rearrange things again to pick it up Friday morning. When I got there not only was it boxy as hell (read: wrong. Flat out wrong) but angel was nowhere to be seen. So I took it and texted angel when I go home. To his credit he offered to make it right, but he'd burned all the time he had so it wasn't possible. I had to stuff things into my chest pocket to achieve any semblance of. Decent silhouette. At this point, I was actually going to let it go, but I have to fly to Atlanta next week so I texted him to see how long it would take to get it fixed He left me on read. Twice.
