My wedding dress for my elopement was altered exactly how I envisioned.

The consultation was very helpful in finalizing the details and pricing, and I appreciated the discount for paying in cash. They set a clear pickup date and time, and at the final try-on I was extremely happy with the result. I would definitely recommend them for wedding dress alterations! Just be sure to allow at least two months specifically for wedding dress alterations, as noted on their website.

Jacquie was referred to me recently by my longtime seamstress who cannot take on new business right…read morenow. I brought two pairs of dress shorts to Jacquie to see if she could salvage them as I had gained weight and couldn't wear them. With the summer here, I didn't want to lose these shorts which are part of two important summer outfits I've long-depended on. Jacquie or her assistants did a terrific job on the shorts and saved these outfits! One of the shorts is a rare Hawaiian design. I will bring all my clothes that need alterations to Jacquie and look forward to doing more business with her!

I've been meaning to take some clothes here for years but never get around to it. As I've gotten…read moreolder I've acquired some beautiful articles of clothing that are too delicate and irreplaceable to entrust to just anyone. I was amused that this operation is patronized by some Silicon Valley giants such as Ms Sheryl Sandberg-as I've learned reading other testimonials here. Well-if it's good enough for them, it must be good enough for me-albeit on a pay day. Their pricing is-yes, to the untrained eye, a tad pricey-but you get what you pay for. For special items, this is the place to be. I brought a silk dress that needed to be hemmed and the bust adjusted. I regret not remembering the lady who helped me but she was very friendly, gave me her expert recommendation, had a little chat and she sent me away. I did ask for a quote before I left and I felt it was reasonable given the delicate material and significant adjustments. I appreciated having a private room to myself and seamstress. I noticed they had shoes available of varying heights to simulate what it might look like alog with hair clips etc. Theres a platform they have you stand on so they can be at eye level to the hem if needed without crouching too low. These ladies/ folks are the real deal. Pro tip: there is parking available for customers past their shop in case street parking is complicated.

My coworker gifted me Dickies Japan Coveralls that were too big for him. It fit me slightly better…read morebut the crotch was too high and the legs were too baggy so I told him I didn't want them. I wondered how easy they would be to alter so I immediately started looking on Yelp. I found May and was surprised to find a FIT Alumni doing alterations and immediately sent a message. Response time was quick though she wanted to see the construction to make sure she could alter it how I wanted. I forgot to uncheck the Yelp message so it also sent my message to other local Tailors and alteration specialists and May's price of $60 was the most competitive for her skills. Location is at her apartment in MTV, she is a prolific pattern maker and you can see her butcher paper patterns adorning the walls as well as some racks of her own designs. She does have a conveniant changing room set up where you can quickly change for fitting and measuring. I wasn't in a rush and picked up the Coveralls yesterday, turn around was 3 working days and the alterations were clean and well-done. Much better than from the factory. Thank you May!

I was so surprised and feel so lucky that I was able to get her help. She charged reasonable price for such an expedited work. While others completely close by 5pm, she is very diligent and work at night to help other clients. She also knows how to make it right. She is just so amazing. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their clothes!

I've been bringing my clothing to Joy's for tailoring since they were in the tiny shop on Park Ave,…read moreI think close to 10 years now. I love their current space on Chapin, it's so bright and cheery with the centrally placed dressing area/mirror. I've just picked up my latest project- converting boot leg jeans to a cropped cigarette leg, and as always, the fit is perfect and the tailoring very well done. I've had too many items altered over the years to list individually, from simple hemming of dresses and pants to more ambitious things like tailoring a shirt to fit from 2 sizes too big (basically remaking the shirt!) I've always been pleased with the work that Tatiana and Dee have done for me, and I think I'm pretty discerning. (I notice evenness and size of stitches/hems, thread type and color matching, how something hangs after it's altered, etc.) I also think their rates are very reasonable, considering the work and time they invest in each project and the fact that they are centrally located in downtown Burlingame. Lastly, both Tatiana and Dee are absolute sweethearts- always welcoming and happy to see me. I highly recommend Joy's European Tailoring!
