I'm so glad my friend introduced me to Golden Thread Alterations. Now I can stay right here in Livermore for top notch alterations services. I brought in 5 shirts and a coat for repairs. They did it faster than expected and with such professionalism and kindness. Fair price, too. I would highly recommend them and will be taking other items there in the future. They finished early and texted me that I could come pick up. Much appreciated. Highly recommend! read more

Words cannot describe how kind, accommodating, and talented this family is. I came to them with a wedding dress that needed a lot of alterations and in a short period of time. They listened to me, gave some recommendations, and made me feel so confident in their work and knowledge. I picked up my dress yesterday and it is perfect! It fits like a glove. I will update with photos so you can see the detail after my wedding, but I couldn't wait to post because I was so impressed. It's the little things that are so important to me. Being informed, being responsive, being kind (he walked my dress out to my car so I didn't have to worry about it hitting the floor) is something I'd never forget. Thank you, thank you, thank you. read more

So my wife recently found this place and she very strongly "encouraged" me to come here to have my nicest suit altered for an upcoming event. According to my wife, my suit hung too loosely on me, but the last thing I wanted was to look like I'm wearing skinny pants. I reluctantly contacted this place because, you know, happy wife... Anyhow, now I must say that Mrs. Kim is like a magical seamstress. Magic. I swear this altered suit fits very well and comfortably, as if the dad bod never happened. I haven't had a suit fit so nicely since our wedding day. Highly recommend. read more

Such sweet employees and finished my alterations in two days and got me my dress back early. They are so knowledgeable and made sure my dress stayed in perfect condition! read more

After the seamstress I used to go to retired in San Jose, I haven't found someone that I love for my alteration needs until I came here. The shop is located on the first floor of a small building and has a spacious changing room that is well decorated. Their attention to detail and customer service went above and beyond my expectations! I highly recommend coming here. I had my bridesmaid's dress taken in and shortened to wear with the heels I purchased for the wedding and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. read more

I had a jacket, a jumpsuit and a wool dress tailored here and it came out better than I expected. The team took time to explain the alterations that were going to be made which helped me manage my expectations especially for the suit jacket. read more

I sent an inquiry to Golden Thread a few months before my wedding and received an almost instantaneous reply. From there on out, my communication with Golden Thread via text was amazing and always prompt. I took my wedding dress in for alterations. We hemmed the dress, shortened the train, let out my waist, adjusted the shoulders, and other minor alterations. In the end, the cost was about 2/3 what I would have paid at the original bridal alterations store. Everyone was patient, attentive to detail, and enormously kind. I will definitely be frequenting there soon for additional bridesmaid alterations. read more

They have done several dresses for me-including my wedding dress! The wedding dress involved using the hem to make new pieces with very finicky lace and it was done with ease! They are helpful perfectionists for a reasonable price! Can't recommend enough and will continue to go to them for all my tailoring and alterations! read more

They are very professional, always quick with their alterations and very friendly. I will bring anything here as long as they are in business! read more

Writing an update with my finished dress now that the wedding is over. EVERYONE loved my dress and it was a miracle that it fit after being too small, too long, and too tight in the wrong spots. Golden Thread let the dress out all way through the hip and thigh, took up length, removed heavy additional under-layers, talked me out of unnecessary shapewear, fixed a broken strap, added 3 bustles, and then brought back in in the spots where we no longer needed the extra space. My dress was an all-over crocheted lace, so every change was extra difficult, but Golden Thread even worked with me on the price and types of changes to keep things within what I budgeted. They are so kind and wonderful to work with. So glad I went to them to take care of my wedding dress! read more

I had my wedding dress altered here. They are incredibly talented and prompt. My wedding dress alterations were complicated with many small details, and they had no problem doing it. I definitely recommend this business for your dresses. read more

I'm so happy to have found a local alteration shop. Owners are extremely friendly. I took in 3 items. I had s a jacket that needed to be hemmed. She did an amazing job keeping a zipper at the end instead of leaving a gap. I got to talk to the owner and found out that she's been in the industry over 30 years. She was so meticulous. She wanted everything to line up and I didn't even think about what she was seeing. Highly recommended. read more

The tailor is not only so experienced but also reads trends so well. I brought my first dance (for my wedding) dress to her to attach straps that I bought separately. She recommended what would fit me the most and also gave me some suggestions on other things. I know some tailors give their customers suggestions just to make more money, but her suggestions were not about money but about actually making my dress more beautiful. I followed her advice and it came out beautifully. Seeing the dress, my fiancé took his suit to her to alter his pants' hem. She took care of that perfectly as well. We're both so happy with the result!! We are definitely revisiting this place! read more

We have had two amazing experiences with Golden Thread. The first was altering one of my daughter's dance team uniforms. It was a tricky design to pull in to fit appropriately. It was done impeccably. The second was my oldest daughter's prom dress. The suggestion for taking up the length and the liner turned out perfect. The dress hit just at the floor making it look like she was gliding. Services for both were done ahead of schedule. Pricing is great too. Our experiences have been amazing, and I recommend them all the time. read more

Went in for a quick hem and they had it done by the next time. Very pleasant experience, would recommend!

Thank you so much for fixing. We should have pinned the entire sleeve while I had it on before starting, then the flare would have been noticed and it wouldn't have been shorter on the outside. But thank you for fixing. Glad to have alterations locally here in Livermore. read more

I had a great experience here. I needed a dress altered for a wedding I was attending. It was a very simple alteration. I just needed a long slit to be shorter. The tailor asked me to try on the dress and mark where I wanted fixed. The service was completed within a week and they did a great job. No one could tell it had been altered. The price was affordable as well. It only cost me $25. I highly recommend Golden Thread Alterations to anyone living in the east bay. read more

Amazing customer service and the quality of their work is top notch! I reached out to them on here and they messaged me back so quickly and professionally. I dropped off my bridesmaid's dress within a week of a wedding and they had it completed within a few days. I had the dress let out a size and could barely tell the dress was altered because of their careful craftsmanship and attention to detail. If you're searching Yelp because you need a good seamstress, this is your sign to pick this one! read more

What a friendly family! I wrote to them in a bit of a panic because I had an extremely terrible experience with Janene's Bridal and my wedding dress (2 months before my wedding!). He immediately responded back with such a kind message and told me they could help me right away! Then he called me to schedule right away. They both stayed late after the store closed to go into a deep dive into their vision for the alterations. 10/10 would highly recommend! read more

Woo and his mom are fantastic! They were able to accommodate us on short notice, did a great job with the alteration, and even return it ahead of schedule. They were a bit of a drive for us, but is completely worth it. I will gladly drive to them every time for a peace of mind of having our alterations done perfectly. Highly recommended! read more

They are extremely knowledgeable and made me feel at ease knowing it would be ready in time. The entire family is so sweet and I'm lucky to have found them!

Helped hem and add in a bust cover to my dress, they were so professional and helpful! It looks great

Seriously, where else other than Golden Thread Alterations can you get alterations done by someone with a Masters Degree in Fine Arts in SEWING??!! And with 40+ years of experience... Pretty freaking amazing. Not only is Mrs. Kim highly skilled and very professional, she's also super sweet. Response time is quick and prices are very reasonable. I went to Golden Thread Alterations to alter 2 of my nice evening dresses and a few designer business suits (off the rack is never perfectly fitted and some other places charge a ridiculous amount for alterations!). I am so happy I found this place and I am thoroughly satisfied with the results. I will definitely be back soon to have Mrs. Kim make some minor alterations to my wedding gown for an anniversary photo shoot because I will trust no one else now. I have no hesitation recommending this small friendly family-owned business that exceeded my expectations in every way. It's been a while since I've raved over a new business on Yelp, but here we go... 5+ solid stars!!! read more
