Incredible work! I have never had dresses fit me so perfectly before!! I brought in two dresses that both needed to be tighter on my waist as they were a bit big on me, and the black floral dress needed to be shorter and he did a fantastic job. I can't even tell where he had to sew as his work is very clean and neat! There was no loose seams and the fit was absolutely perfect. It hugged my waist perfect and no longer looked frumpy. The dress is a perfect length and it was just exactly what I wanted! [[HIGHLIGHT]]James is very kind and was very accommodating to what we needed![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be returning for any future needs! $60 for expensive dresses and a lot of work along with feeling brand new was a steal I feel amazing! read more

He is also transparent, follows up with you, and will work with any concerns you may have. Always a pleasure working with James. Side note: He also has a cute doggo supervising his work! read more

James did an absolutely amazing job on tailoring my suit. I had called inquiring to see if I could have a job done on a 3-piece suit ready by the next day, and James immediately took me in and got to work. He is extremely knowledgeable in this field, and provides his professional opinion on how the suit should fit to your body. On top on having these services done quickly, he also answered a ton of my questions on both my suit and a potentially custom suit down the road. His experience is truly an exemplar to the industry, as this is the first time I've had the opportunity to really understand different types of materials and styles for certain occasions. Thank you James! read more

James Andrew Custom Tailoring Shop - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - La Habra, California

I was referred to this Tailor by a dear friend, as I needed my wedding dress altered and it was my mom's, so I was very concerned with who I could trust for the job. I brought the dress in at the beginning of August, where I was told that the job could absolutely be done within the month. My wedding was in November so I was thrilled to hear that I had plenty of time. I was told to come back to the shop in a couple of weeks and that I would expect my dress to be almost finished. When I returned, my dress was no where close to being finished. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was reassured that when I came in next time, that my dress would basically be done with the possibility of a couple minor adjustments.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I didn't hear from them for another 3 weeks and when I did, I was told that the delay was because they were having issues finding the perfect lace that I had asked to be added to the neckline.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Another couple of weeks went by, it's now the beginning of October and I'm asked to come back for a 3rd fitting. The dress is still not finished, it's not fitting properly on my back/arms and the lace had not been applied. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came back for what I told them, HAD TO BE my FINAL fitting, as my wedding was on November 1st. I was told that I should expect a call to come in later that day and when I reached out, I was told the dress wouldn't be ready until 7PM.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had plans that night, as "later in the day" meant afternoon to me. I return to the shop the following day & my dress was still NOT DONE! We could barely get the dress zipped. Keep in mind I had lost a total of 7 lbs so at this point, the dress should be loose. I had to wait almost another week to return to get my dress, as I live 45 minutes from the shop and had to work. By the time I picked up my dress, it was 4 days before my wedding and it still didn't fit. Every time we tried to clasp the top, the clasp busted open and tore off. I wasted $1000 and 3 months on having someone ruin MY MOM'S WEDDING DRESS! There was extreme puckering along the breast line, I could barely get the sleeves pulled up, the dress wouldn't zip up and clasp properly and the waistline/bust line didn't sit properly on me. I spent the next 2 days, frantically driving around to different seamstress (on the verge of a meltdown) and spent another $400 to get it fixed! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called and texted the original Tailor multiple times but I was left unanswered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I simply wanted an apology and to be reimbursed for the extra money I had to spend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I debated leaving this review because my good friend knows this business but I was patient and understanding the entire process and they couldn't even bother to call me back after royally screwing up. read more

I've been coming to James for years. The prices are reasonable and work is always on time. There's no alteration, he can't handle. Highly recommended this business. Make sure to say hi to his pup! read more

I just finished reading the review of someone named Erin. I was appalled by her negativity and false statements. I happened to be there when the offer of returning the gown to have alterations done that were not listed on the alteration tag. James guarantees his work and mentioned that he would be happy to fix the other alterations on the wedding dress. I know when a wedding dress requires altering the dress, we the wearer must speak our voice at the fittings so any corrections are done will fit beautifully. I know this 100% because James altered my wedding dress along with suits of my family for my wedding. I trusted James back then, (15 years ) and continue to trust him. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Having a guarantee of his work makes me a returning customer[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have to write a follow-up to my review post the reply and comments made by the establishment owner. In his reply; He claimed that he told me from "day one, the zipper installation will take 6 months". This is absolutely a lie! I was given a "3 weeks" ETA! Any logical and reasonable person will see how ridiculous and pathetic his excuse is! It took another tailor minutes to sew a zipper into the pants. After waiting for 2 months, and hearing repeated excuses, and now made-up lies. I was content with an apology. However, I will report and file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Yelp is a neutral platform for people to articulate their reviews and experiences. A negative review based on a negative experience is not a personal attack nor a lack of manner! read more

I purchased a suit and needed urgent tailoring as I was prepping to traveling abroad. James not only tailored the suit perfectly, but he completed the alterations within 3 hours. To be clear, James adjusted the waist, the legs, the seat, and the blazer. All of this was done within mere hours of my flight leaving early the next morning. It was an amazing linen look that received raved reviews during my travels. James is a master creative that tailors and designs with specificity and detailed attention. I WILL BE BACK! THANK YOU, JAMES! read more

We need more James Andrew's. I didn't know or understand custom fitting until I met him through my brother. He can literally tailor anything to make you look simply...better! Been going to him for a few years now. Have purchased two custom made suits, and a few off-the-shelf suits in which he tailored. James does get busy but he does get around to you timely. Has always given me a heads up if there's a delay but otherwise usually on time. I practically don't have a pair of pants or suit or even jeans not tailored by him. Like I said, we need like him in the industry. He's better than the ones overseas! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Incredibly impressed! Not just for providing amazing service and value hemming a pair of pants, but also for being a genuinely nice person.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is hard to find a business owner like this these days, thank you. Oh, the pants were hemmed perfectly. read more

A great place to come and tailor any clothing you have. I came here recently to get my dress pants sew back at the leg opening as the inside fabric came apart. Having move to the Rowland heights area a year ago, I couldn't find a good tailor place until I came upon This place on yelp. When I arrived to this place it was a small place and I saw James working on clothing with the sewing machine. We introduce each and I told him my issue with my dress pants, he said no problem I will get this done for you right now. So I waited for about 5-7 minutes and he sew back the inside of my dress pant leg opening. Afterward I asked him how much would it cost, and to his generosity he said nothing it was a simple fix. I thank him and said I will be with my other clothes for him to tailor! James provide great customer service and is very friendly. If you need a spot to get your stuff tailor, I highly recommend coming to this place. read more

This is a late post from the end of December. I found James on Yelp after buying a suit online for a wedding I was to emcee in a week and a half that ended up needing not only hemming of the pants but also to be taken in in the sleeves, waist and legs. So I decided to give James a try, at least for the hemming of this pants. I have to say that I was really pleased and happy with James and his service. He was professional, detailed and thorough and his price was what I thought to be GREAT! He took my measurements explaining exactly what he was intending to do, asked if I would be ok with it without pressuring me and then asked when I need it completed by. When I picked up the suit, it was perfect! Thanks James for the great service and for doing a job well done! I will see you again soon! read more

James Andrew is such a nice person! I didn't plan my time too well regarding tailoring my wedding dress. Two other tailors turn me down (one quite rude I might add), but James said he'll do his best and would get this done in time (less than 3 months)! Which he obviously did and job well done! Price is very competitive and work is impeccable! read more

I don't usually write more than five words, but I do like to give credit where it's due. Mr. James Andrew saved my Wedding day! I am a bigger guy with a taste for slim fit designer threads with that being said, everything I had my eyes set on either did not have my size or cost $5,000. I eventually found something in my taste but not a slim fit. I was limited on time, and needed to make drastic adjustments to make me look thy way I wanted. I hopped on yelp to find a tailor and man did I find a GEM! James Andrew was professional, polite and beyond considerate of my situation from the first call, fitting and etc. I got so many compliments on how fresh, fly, and expensive my suit looked. James Andrew does high end quality work. He made me feel and look like a million bucks ‼‼ I will forever be a customer to JAMES ANDREW TAILORING and definitely will recommend him to all my friends, family and clientele. I will be back very soon with pieces of my wardrobe that need that, "MILLION DOLLA FLARE " read more

James made up two pairs of bespoke trousers for me. He is a master of his craft and is a stand up guy. His attention to detail is superb. I highly recommend his shop. read more

My fiancé is a long time customer with James and is thoroughly satisfied with the quality of his work. He is extremely attentive and meticulous with his craft. At one point in time, he was understaffed, but even then, James was able to deliver top quality service and alterations. You may have to go back a few times to get the right fitting, but with a little patience, it's 100% worth it. With new additions to his staff, including his helpful son, Jonathan, we look forward to many great years ahead with James. read more

To be perfectly honest, this makes me sad to write this review. James is a really nice person. Always pleasant. But unfortunately, I will not be coming back. I brought in my wedding dress (2.5 months) before my wedding to get it altered. I needed it hemmed, waist brought in, belt attached and the bust adjusted. I was told to come back on a certain day, yet when I arrived, it was not done. This happened 2 more times. When I finally picked it up, it was not hemmed. The bust was not done. He told me to call him if anything needed to be fixed. Everything needed to be fixed. If all this work still needs to be done, I am going to have to go somewhere else. Why wasn't it done in the first place? I get minor fixings, but the whole thing? I am not sure what I paid for. It is now 10 days until my wedding and thank goodness for my sister finding a tailor in LH that is fixing everything. I am sorry this happened. James may be a good tailor, but not for wedding dresses. He altered my fiance's shirt and pants no problem. But as far as wedding dresses goes, I would find another place. read more

James saved my wedding dress! I had my dress altered by a seamstress who was recommended to me by a friend and she absolutely butchered my dress. On the verge of tears and with only 5 days before my wedding I went to James Andrew. He assured me he would do what he could to repair my crooked hem and undo-and-redo the horrible bustle. I picked up my dress 4 days later and it was perfect! Beautiful hem, and a gorgeous French style bustle. His price was outstanding as well! I will definitely be coming to him for anything I need in the future. Thank you James! read more

Dropped a jersey off because he said he could make it bigger size to fit me. Months later didn't hear from him so went in and he said wasn't ready still. Gave him more time to make it tight.

I purchased my dress at a shop that didn't offer in house alterations. I was fortunate enough to find James to do the work for me. My dress is lace so I knew it wasn't going to be an easy task. On my first visit James had me put my dress on and we discussed the work that needed to be done. What I loved about James is that he focused on one section at a time rather than doing everything at once. He worked on the top portion of my dress including waist, and had me come in and try it on. Made sure I was happy with the alterations before moving on to bottom of the dress. James was very flexible with his hours and even stayed late for me do to my work hours. The end result was perfection. James is truly an artist in his line of work. Thank you so much James! God bless! read more
