I brought in a very special vintage dress for a repair - it had a hole I wasn't even sure could be fixed. When I got it back, the results exceeded my expectations. The repair was very well done and nearly impossible to detect. On top of that, it was completed in just a few days for a very reasonable price! I've also come here for hemming, and every item has turned out perfectly. Highly recommend! read more

The owner is great and very professional, not really present on most days and one of the employees completely ruins the experience. If this particular woman works on your clothes, expect them to come back wrong. The workmanship is poor, details are ignored, and mistakes are not fixed correctly. My friend brought her clothes here and after dealing with repeated issues, she will not be coming back. It's disappointing because the owner does a good job when she's actually there, but one employee's bad attitude and careless work has cost them our business. read more

Varsik is amazing!! I HIGHLY recommend G&V Tailoring!! My sister got her maid of honor dress for my wedding adjusted there and Varsik was so helpful and nice that I decided to chance it and asked if she would help fix my wedding dress which I had a nightmare experience with the previous tailor. This was half a week before I left for my wedding, and she was able to completely fix it!! I can't thank her enough for helping to save my dress and giving me peace of mind during my wedding. She is the most warm, talented, pleasant person and great and what she does! I will be back in the future. :) read more

Fast and reasonable pricing for stitching and tailoring . They don't take CC but they do take Zelle

Went here to tailor one of my black dresses. They did an amazing job, were fast and super sweet.

Incredibly friendly, speedy and responsive! I texted the day before and she was able to accommodate tailoring my pants in 2 days! They came out perfect and on time. Francisco did amazing work and was very friendly. Also v affordable $25 for silk pants-- please not they take cash or venmo! read more

I've literally never written a Yelp review before, but I can't gatekeep this one. Varsik altered my wedding dress and it fits absolutely perfectly. I feel so confident and comfortable and truly like myself in my dress for such an important day. On top of that, she's such a sweetheart and made the whole experience even better. I'm so grateful I found her- highly recommend! read more

Varsik saved my wedding dress with only 2 weeks left before my wedding day. I previously saw another seamstress who was a nightmare to work with, and I was panicking looking for a replacement with only a few weeks before my wedding day. Varsik agreed to take on this project and she provided me with peace of mind throughout the whole process. My dress came out beautiful and I am eternally grateful for her. Thank you so much, Varsik! read more

V is the best! She is so talented with tailoring...makes good suggestions if updating an outfit. The work is always tops! and prices reasonable - not dry cleaner cheap, but reasonable for a talented professional tailor. Every time I have left work with her, I am happy because she is pleasant, professional, and I'm confident it will be on time and beautiful!!! Thank you! read more

I live in the neighborhood and wanted to support this new local business. I dropped 3 dress shirts for dry cleaning. I was given no receipt, no quote, no date, no nothing. Apparently, the owner was out of town and others didn't know how things worked. When I picked them up, they charged me $50. The price started at $70, and they only lowered it after I expressed complete shock! For reference, $7.50 per shirt three blocks away at Park Cleaners. I literally just got taken to the cleaners. Beware. read more

My fiancé took his wedding tuxedo shirt in to be tailored. When he returned in 1 week, they hadn't even touched it. So, I would not recommend this as a business to visit. read more

I came to get some items altered including some fancy dresses. I purposely came over 6 weeks prior to ensure that the items would be ready on time. Despite multiple calls and assurances it would be ready, I only got it the day prior to the event. The dress had pieces that were falling off and there were still multiple pins in the dress itself that I got poked with. To top it off it was super expensive and I was told that I had to pay in cash. I won't go to this place again. read more

I couldn't be happier with how my wedding dress looked after getting it altered at G&V tailoring! I bought a sample dress that was many sizes too big, and the end result was perfect. They were so accommodating around making fittings work with my travel schedule, and her attention to detail was so appreciated. read more

V is simply fantastic, she is super fast, super knowledgeable and listens to your suggestions. She altered my brand new velvet jacket (as you know working with velvet is very tricky), and she nailed it! Thanks V, see you very soon again for more work :) read more

the BEST tailor!! SAVED MY WEDDING DRESS! Just 5 days before my wedding, I was in full-on panic mode because I'd lost so much weight that my dress was way too loose. I was totally depressed when I walked in, but Varsik came to the rescue! She completely redesigned the dress to fit perfectly and had it ready in less than two days. She even made sure I had time to try it on again and relax. I can't imagine what I would've done without her. THANK YOU! read more

I am very happy with the service I received today March 1, 2025! I was in a rush to head back to Orange and Frank was very helpful. He was very fast with his work and it came out great. I highly recommend this place to anyone!!! read more

I went to G&V Tailor in a pinch as I needed my coat sleeves shortened within the day for an international trip the next day. They were super kind and fair with price given the tight timeline and the amount of hand stitching the job required. You can see the original and altered sleeve looks completely the same! I hadn't realized how complex the seamless coat was until I went in- they clearly know what they're doing! read more

G&V are magicians! I brought in a perforated leather jacket that had a hole--so, a tough request--and they did such a good job repairing it that I genuinely keep forgetting where the hole even was! I live around the corner, and I'll definitely be taking all my repairs here from now on and recommending them to others. read more

I got my dress close to my wedding and brought it with only a week for alterations! She took me in with no complaints. I really wanted my dress to be customized so she cut this beautiful slit which was perfectly proportioned to my body. The slit made the dress POPI felt the bridal moment as soon as I did my final fitting! Thankyouuu! read more

Amazing experience. She helps me right away with my tuxedo. Totally recommend this business

I've been going to Varsik here for over a year now. She's done pant tapers, t-shirt hems, knit sweater hems, jean hems (original) and button down hems so far. Like all services, all you need is communication. Her and her team will get it down to exact measurements. Usually within a week's turnaround, too. Varsik will let you know when she's busy and will require a longer wait. But most importantly, what I love most about Varsik is the way she treats and works with her customers. I've seen the way she communicates with other clients at her shop while waiting for her and she's always very kind and polite. Even if she's trying to explain something only someone of her expertise would understand and the client insists on something else, she remains patient. Thanks Varsik! read more

I had an AMAZING experience with Varsik on my wedding dress! She is very detail oriented and was extremely patient with me when I was being a perfectionist with my dress! She did about 8 total alterations on my dress to get it right, including adding bra cups of different colors and then taking it in and out multiple times to make sure it fit absolutely perfectly. She is highly skilled and also incredibly sweet, she made me feel so comfortable. I fully trusted her with my special dress and will keep coming back!! I cannot recommend her highly enough. Look no further for a master tailor!! read more

Wonderful wonderful establishment. Staff was amazing. I'm ABSOLUTELY going to continue working with them. As a matter of fact I'm taking 2 more pieces to them next week. They did 3 for me last week that came out beautifully. And Varsick is very pleasant. I enjoyed working with her. read more

The external appearance can be deceiving, but I found the prices very reasonable, the staff very helpful, and the timeline very useful. I had to have my suit almost entirely redone in less than a week, and not only did the man I met with get that done flawlessly, he worked with us on prices to work out the best plan of action. I'd 100% use this place again! (Pictured: before and after the alterations. I couldn't afford to get the shoulders taken in, but the difference is huge.) read more

I highly recommend G&V Tailoring. They are a business you can trust! I came to them with a suit I had purchased recently and needed buttons sewed on the jacket and pants hemmed. After I tried it on for Varsik at the shop, she showed me the jacket did not fit right. The top button sat too high on my torso and it was too small on my shoulders. She could have simply taken the order but she told me, "If you are spending the money you should get a suit that fits right. Go back and get a better jacket first." As someone who wants to look good for work but is not an expert, this is the kind of honest advice I need and value most as a customer! She could have simply taken the order but instead she gave me honest advice. Knowing that G&V tailoring is a business I can rely on to have my best interests in mind is incredibly valuable to me. Once I get my new jacket I will definitely be coming here again and for future needs. read more

I'm so happy with the service provided by V! I brought a wedding guest dress in last Friday. It was a big long, so she trimmed the hem. Despite it being Labor Day weekend, she was able to finish it right in time for the wedding I'm attending tomorrow. The service is quick and easy. They're very reliable and I'm really glad I stumbled upon their business! read more

Varsik is a master tailor who has worked miracles for me and my family. She is always honest about how difficult the work is going to be and I can make a decision based on the price. She has figured out how to shorten sleeves on a leather jacket with zippers, how to shorten sleeves on a suit jacket with workable buttons, and has shortened dozens of dresses, blouses, and pants for me. We have a running smile because I feel that having my clothes fit properly is something that I deserve, and she makes it happen for me. She has corrected bad work done by tailors at the dry cleaner. She's an important part of my life and always has me looking great! read more

Varsik did a wonderful job tailoring my wedding dress. I went to another tailor first who didn't quite know how to reduce the waistline and suggested a less than ideal method for a much higher price. Varsik instantly knew where to take the material out for my waist and also did a great job on the sleeves and shoulders for a much cheaper price. She got it done in a very timely manner as well. Very grateful for her work! read more

Called shop asking for a quote/price estimate on a coat length hem and a sleeve hem. Was asked a few questions as far as what kind of coat, if it had lining, and if the sleeves had functional buttons (to which I said yes). I received a quote/price estimate for 70$ total from owner. On the day the coat was due to be returned, I got a text saying that the sleeves have functional buttonholes and the price to shorten sleeves would be 130$ in addition to 50$ for hemming the length of the coat. I stated I was expecting 70$ (or somewhere close to 70$) and she replied with a 160 price point and stated there was a misunderstanding. I think it is a bit misleading to advertise a price point and then change it after the items have been left with the shop for a few days. read more

This business is female run business and they did a fantastic job on two of my sweaters that needed help. One sweater needed to be partially re-kniited and put back together. The other, a favorite and staple black cashmere sweater, that had moth holes. Both were expertly re-knitted and repaired. The price was really really reasonable and the women were lovley to deal with. I will never use the people at the dry cleaners who do alterations and repairs again. Support this business. They deserve to thrive! read more

V is the best and incredible at what she does!! She altered my wedding dress, my fiancés suit and other items. Everything was perfection. Thank you V!! read more

Absolutely horrible customer service from the hispanic lady that works at the store. Completely disrespected us when we walked in the store. Did not take a second to understand why we were there and asked us to leave, because we had coordinated with her 'boss'. So unhelpful and attitude to boot. Will never go here again read more

Varsenick is by far the best tailor I've ever used! She's been altering and re-creating clothing for me for years and I trust her with everything she does. She has added sleeves for me on numerous dresses. I have brought in items that needed tremendous work and she has done it in such a quick amount of time! Her greatest work thus far was re-designing a bridesmaid dress for me to add material on the side because it was 4 inches from zipping, added sleeves, changed the style from a-line to mermaid, and added length with extra material. She is an absolute magician! read more

This place is close to my house, I needed to adjust length for my new dress pants same day, Varsi has made it happen

Not really sure how she got 4.5 stars, I had a good few pieces of clothing for her to tailor, she made some major mistakes, one of the dresses I could not even put on after she altered it and put on too short of a zipper, then she wanted to charge me for a bee zipper, for her mistake. In any case, I decided not to come back again. On top of everything, I went in one time to try something on, there was a man jokingly saying if he could go in the fitting space with me, that was disgusting! He was the tailor's family or employee? Anyway, the lady just laughed along with him. She's a nice lady, but not that great a tailor. read more

I was put in a very bad predicament when I had to get a suit for my best friend's wedding and through men's wearhouse they were unable to order my size pants from the manufacturer. Talk about a serious bad situation. The only thing I could do is get the exact material by ordering a size 48 pants and having them completely altered into 34 size waist. And tied on the legs because I like shoots to be fitted European style. Varsic did amazing... 10 better than I ever thought they could come out as. She did magic in a timely fashion and I will forever be grateful. read more

I found this place by chance and was in need of hem for my bridesmaids dress. After having it hemmed, I thought I'd like to add a flattering sleeve with the left over material and Varsik said she could do it. I picked up my dress today and I couldnt be happier. Got is perfect. It looks great and flattering . Varsik is kind , patient , and does great work . Prices are very reasonable. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for making me look great on such a special day! read more
