The woman at Joy's Tailoring went absolutely above and beyond for me. She had just gotten off a plane from her daughter's graduation in Florida, and instead of taking time to rest, she stayed working until hours after closing to make sure my outfit was ready in time for my dad's casual wedding in Hawaii. She even let me pick it up later that night. On top of that, the quality of the tailoring was incredible. I sent her a reference photo of the exact look I was going for, and she matched it perfectly. Everything fit exactly how I wanted and looked even better than I expected. You can tell she genuinely takes pride in her work. Highly recommend Joy's Tailoring if you want quality work done by someone who truly cares. read more

I have been using Joy's Tailoring for many years and was originally referred there by shops in Lido Village. Over the years, I've referred brides, professionals, and many people who truly care about quality tailoring and fit. Joy Tailoring's work has consistently been exceptional. Beyond the craftsmanship, they are always kind, accommodating, and professional. Supporting dedicated small business owners like this is important to me. I noticed a recent negative review that did not reflect my experience at all, so I looked at the reviewer's profile history. It appears this reviewer leaves a disproportionately high number of negative reviews across many different businesses and services. Because of that, I would encourage readers to look at the broader pattern and form their own conclusions. My experience with Joy's Tailoring over many years has been overwhelmingly positive, and I would absolutely continue recommending and supporting them. read more

Amy did such a wonderful job and treated me with such kindness throughout the whole alteration process. I brought her my grandmothers wedding dress, which is nearly 60 years old. She took such great care of the delicate dress and altered it to fit me perfectly. Her pricing is the best I've found in the area, particularly given the quality of her work. I reccomend Joy Tailoring to everyone. Amy will take excellent care of you and your most precious clothes. read more

Joy Tailoring did 2 sets of jeans, 2 pants as well as one Ralph Lauren Sweater for me. They are very good at giving you ideas on what to do and what will look good. The quality is fantastic, it was as if I had bought it from a store. Price was also way below what I was expecting for the amount I gave them. Overall, I was super happy with everything. read more

I brought in my wedding gown with an overskirt in July for alterations and a bustle for my mid-September wedding. We did our initial fitting and two additional fitting and had my dress ready by the beginning of September. She was very timely and detailed in her work. She adjusted the low back and my chest areas to lay flush, added cups for support and trimmed the front of the dress skirt and overskirt to fit my height. All turned out beautifully! Be mindful that if you go in the summer, it will be hot in there and cash payment is preferred. read more

The quality of work in shortening the length of my Rag & Bone Miramar jeans was amazing!! They used the same bottom hem and this is not necessarily a standard practice (although it should be across all alterations providers everywhere) ... the hem does curl up a bit but could probably smooth it out by ironing that part. It's a very reasonable price too at $20, although there was a 1-week turnaround time, the successful end-result made everything worthwhile. The owners are a married couple most likely and the husband is definitely the better one with customer service. I will be returning and referring friends & family for future alterations needs! read more

My wedding dress was altered so well here! Emy is so sweet and thoughtful and really went above and beyond helping me decide what was best for my big day. 10/10 recommend!! read more

FILTHY. DON'T GO HERE. The backroom behind the curtain where they do the alterations is so filthy I almost gagged. The floor is so covered in piles of trash and fabric and junk that you can't see it except for a tiny trail between piles. Fans that have NEVER been cleaned gunked with an inch of gunk. Piles and piles of fabric and clothing and junk everywhere. People's special clothing entrusted to these people just piled up in a huge mess. I was shocked! If you've had your clothing here, wash it immediately. This is how I discovered the filth.... They lost my pants so I was helping them look for them in all the racks. I followed the owner to the back room as he was looking everywhere. And there were my pants...wadded up in a pile in a dirty box on the floor underneath a pile of other clothes and another junk filled box. I pulled them out and they were creased and dirty. He snatched them from my hand and tried to iron them to which I immediately said "Stop - don't iron them I'm going to wash them." He would not relent insisting on ironing them. I had to actually take them off the table because he would not give them to me. What I think he was trying to do was cover up the fact that he only took in one side of my pants because the chalk marks are still there and they are very uneven now. I think he wanted to try to wipe the chalk marks off. When I tried to pay the woman working there again grabbed the pants out of my hands to "iron" them. She was so insistent and intimidating I literally had to say "Don't touch me or my pants. Let me pay so I can leave." Really disturbing. Really really disturbing. read more

Joy Tailoring is the best tailor around! Amy is so knowledgeable and helpful! My dress was a sample from the dress shop so many people had tried it on before me. The zipper was weak and broken, there were a couple small tears and stains in the armpit area. Amy went above and beyond during my 3 dress fittings to hem, take it in, put in a new zipper, add bra inserts, and even had the stains dry cleaned free of charge. In the end, I felt so beautiful in my dress thanks to Joy Tailoring! I love supporting family owned businesses such as these. Definitely going to recommend them to my friends and family!

She made my top convertible like I envisioned, and improved the back of the dress- in addition to making the whole thing fit me like a glove. I could not have asked for a better person to help me feel comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day. It fit so well I was able to dance all night! read more

I had the absolute best experience with Joy Tailoring! I brought in a very complicated dress that needed to be hemmed just one week before my son's wedding, and the owner worked a miracle. Not only did she rush the alteration and do a flawless job, but she was also incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the process. What truly touched me was the special extra--she made a beautiful rose for my husband's lapel using the fabric from the hem of my dress. It was such a nice touch that made the day even more special. If you need expert tailoring and someone who genuinely cares about your big moments, I can't recommend Joy Tailoring enough! read more

Amy is absolutely amazing! She is such a perfectionist and just so good at what she does.

She's just absolutely wonderful and earned our business for life! read more

Joy tailoring is fantastic! I have gotten 2 dresses altered and both were done very quickly, it was affordable, and it turned out amazing!

I cannot recommend Joy Tailoring enough! From start to finish, Amy was wonderful, sweet, and genuinely caring. I truly enjoyed every visit with her and she made the entire wedding dress alteration process feel easy and stress-free. Amy did an incredible job on my wedding dress, making even the tiniest and most precise tweaks to ensure the fit was absolutely perfect. As the sweetest touch, she even created a little keepsake rose from the fabric she removed when shortening my hem. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness went above and beyond. (She also expertly took in the straps on my late-night mini dress just weeks before the wedding!) She also offered to steam my veil so it was ready with my dress at pickup! She offered excellent advice on fit and alterations without ever pressuring me into anything, which I really appreciated. On top of all that, her pricing was extremely reasonable--something every bride will value, especially once you realize how time-consuming and precise wedding alterations truly are. Any bride would be so lucky to have Amy as her tailor (and I can't wait for an excuse to come back for future alterations to clothes!) read more

There is a reason why Joy tailoring has SO MANY 5 star reviews. This is an exceptional tailoring shop with quality customer service, quick turnaround time, great pricing and impeccable craftsmanship. I came here to get my wedding dress tailored last year. The dress had tons of beading detail all over and I was worried I couldn't keep the detail on the bottom of the train (another shop told me no) but Amy has been doing this for years and she said it would take some time but she can definitely do it! I came for 3 fittings within three months and she was able to take in the dress where it needed, shorten and keep the detail along the train and do the bussle! Everything came out absolutely amazing and the dress looked so beautiful like it was made for me. I can not thank Amy enough for her hard work! She is amazing and you will not regret coming here for anything you need! read more

Joy Tailoring is absolutely amazing! I bought a wedding dress with straps, but my dream was to have a strapless, low-back wedding dress. When multiple seamstresses told me it wasn't possible, Joy Tailoring said it was--and she made it happen! Her hands are pure magic. She didn't just alter my dress; she essentially remade it, bringing my bridal vision to life. Strapless wedding dresses can be tricky, but she tailored mine so perfectly that I never had to pull it up--not even once! I did a full choreographed wedding dance, and it stayed in place flawlessly. She spent countless hours fine-tuning every detail until it was absolutely perfect. On top of her incredible skill, her prices are so reasonable compared to the alterations services recommended by bridal stores. If you need a seamstress who is truly an artist, Joy Tailoring is the one! I cannot recommend her enough! read more

In the stress of all wedding planning can be, Joys tailoring was a sight of relief. Quality tailoring, fair pricing and a delightful experience. Professional, personable, flexible and FAST. I lost a bit of weight between drop off and pick up so I needed a bit more taken in, and they happily made the adjustment within a week. Also having a unique body type.. short with a lot of curves, I was very worried about the fit, but the final product made me feel confident and beautiful on the most special day of my life. They are now my go-to tailor. So happy I chose them for my big day. read more

What a joy "joy tailoring" is... I had a last minute complex alteration (expensive tulle, pretty much a wedding dress but more difficult)... even though their turn around time is typically one week, the expert tailor / seamstress pretty much reconstructed a very expensive and delicate dress in 4 days. I cannot say enough good things about this lovely woman. Knocked it out of the park for me right before a special event. I'm so grateful! read more

Where do I start, joy is amazing! She was very detailed and listened to all of my needs, when I bought my dress it was the last one of its kind....therefore it was almost a couple of sizes to big, there was a lot to be done. Joy took the time to remove the lace after bringing it in to my size and place it to where it would look best, she was always on time and let us come and see my dress during the process. I also recommended her to my best friend who also got her dress altered by Joy. Her name isn't just Joy but she also lives up to it! read more

Can't thank these guys enough! True masters in their craft. I bought a few thousand worth skirt from a high end brand in South Coast Plaza. They offered me to tailor the length as a complimentary service (normal practice). I agreed. They had to tailor that skirt couple of times because it just came out hideous, different length through out. After two trials and over a month long wait, I gave up on LV store. Since the skirt was altered I could not return it either, so I brought it to Joy tailoring. They were also amazed by how badly the skirt was tailored and most importantly they fixed it for me! It's one thing to be a good tailor when you have a blank canvas, it's completely different mastership level when you can fix someone's horrible job done. I am extremely grateful! They just saved me a pretty penny. Thank you!! read more

Joy tailoring is going to be my go to for future tailoring needs. Last spring, Joy Tailoring helped me celebrate my wedding in a phenomenal way. I was in a time crunch to have my dress altered and she completed it within 6 weeks of the initial consultation including two follow up fittings. She redid the standard back zip into a beautiful corset style using the scrap fabric from the bottom hemming. It was seamless and intentional. It gave me piece of mind that the dress would fit my second trimester body and it performed admirably on the big day. Unfortunately we didn't get any dedicated pictures of the back. The hem was perfect and she accounted for the extra length needed in front for my stomach. She also put in an American style bustle and sewed the belt onto the body. She is professional with a warm grandmotherly demeanor that I appreciate. I thought her pricing was very reasonable, which was surprising given the Newport Beach neighborhood. She prefers cash or check. They are open Monday through Saturday 10-6 pm. They encourage walk ins but I'd recommend getting an appointment for a wedding dress fitting. There's a free parking structure on Finley and Newport Blvd which she says is usually available 2pm and on, but I haven't tried it yet. read more

This is a very long overdue review. Joy Tailoring is hands down the best choice for alterations! You will not regret it. My wedding was in February of 2024. As a bride on a budget, I purchased a sample sale dress . It was pretty, but needed a little something extra to become a dream wedding dress that complimented my figure and didn't have me spilling out of it. My entire wedding was planned and executed in exactly one month, which gave very little time for alterations. I found Joy Tailoring by the grace of God. I called and spoke with the sweetest woman named Eman. Within a few days I had an appointment and she began working a miracle on my dress. Eman was willing to help me create the dress of my dreams and in only a few short weeks. She was kind, accommodating and extremely professional. She is a deeply talented woman, and an absolute Angel. Her and her Husband were a delight. She was up front and honest every steps of the way. She explained exactly what she was doing and why . She continued to get my opinion/ approval before the next step. She worked quickly and meticulously. Her attention to detail was phenomenal. She took the original delicate floral lace from the bottom of my dress and created a bit more coverage and a sweeping off the shoulder look . The stitching lined up perfectly . Absolutely amazing. Eman took my vision and created a dream wedding dress. I am irrevocably grateful to her . Thank you for everything Eman read more

She is just the sweetest and has such a good eye.

Highly recommend; Amy will make sure you look good! read more
