I got my maid of honor dress tailored here for my sister's wedding. The dress had four layers that needed to be hemmed. They did an amazing job, and were also so nice and friendly! I will be returning here the next time I need to get something tailored. read more

Amazing, efficient tailoring! They did a great job tailoring my kids' dress and suit. Very lovely couple.

I have been going to Joy for nearly 5 years to tailor my suits! Her attention to detail is unparalleled and her charming personality makes the entire process very enjoyable. Joy has tailored my business suits, casual attire, as well as my wedding suit! I have been driving up to her for 2 years from San Diego and will be back again very soon! Thank you Joy!! read more

Joy Tailoring fit my wedding dress like a glove! She is so incredibly talented at what she does and has such an eye for the perfect fit. My wedding dress had extremely delicate fabric which I'm sure can be hard to work with but she nailed it. She also gave me the cutest bustle which I received so many compliments on. I felt so perfect in my dress on my wedding day. Could not have asked for a better experience with Joy tailoring thank you thank you! read more

Great experience. Alterations were taken care of as needed and on time. Would definitely use them again!

Very wonderful couple own and operate this local small business. They are expert tailors whose skills can not be denied. They pay attention to the tiniest detail which means you must be patient.......but it's with it. They've taken several off the rack suites I bought post COVID belly weight and made them look like expensive custom suites. They've taken my high end Armani and ferragamo suites and refined the fit. They took my wife's Armani suites and showed off her great bum. We take everything to them. Even basic shirts and skirts. Blew trust their opinion and value their integrity. Door. Wait until last minute though cuz you can't rush perfection read more

I found Joy Tailoring on Yelp and decided to give them a call to see if I needed an appointment to come in on a Saturday. Amy answered and was so warm over the phone and indicated that I could come on over at anytime! Her shop was easy to find and at a great, convenient location (lots of easily accessible lot parking). I had my dress in tote- and was immediately and warmly greeted by Amy! I was invited to try on my dress- which is made of jacquard fabric and had pretty delicate raised floral embroidery with metallic threading. I expressed that it needed to be taken in and taken up before it could be taken out. So, I showed Amy a picture of an inspo dress on insta to help articulate how I was hoping my dress in its altered state would fit/ sit on me and she immediately saw the vision; without skipping a beat, started pinning me up! It was maybe 5 minutes of pinning, she ensured that everything would be perfect on little ol' 5 foot nothing me and she was off to the races! I came back a week later to pick up my dress and it was now...perfection. Just perfection. The dress fit exactly how I and my instagram had envisioned. Seriously, perfection. I can't thank Amy enough! I can't wait to actually wear my dress now that I'm not absolutely swimming in it. Thank you, Amy!!! You are the best!!!!! read more

Come to Joy tailoring if you believe in magic - I'm serious, she has worked miracles for me many times. I don't have the best pictures, but here is just one example of her work. Beautifully transformed this floppy, awkward mess of a dress into a perfectly form fitting gown. Incredible, quality work. read more

Great service and well worth the price. We had a wedding dress altered in the shoulders and hemmed all 9 layers of the dress. Every time we came she was ready for us. Even came back to hem the mother of bride outfit. She was able to do it quick-because my shoes came late. Definitely will come back read more

She did an amazing job altering my dress, was open to feedback and offered her opinions when asked. Really lovely to work with and she did a great job. Will definitely be back for future alterations! read more

So I have been a regular customer at Joy's for almost 2years, I have been satisfied all the time with her work. Her price is reasonable and more importantly the outcome is always terrific. This had been only place I could even dare to have her alter my expensive clothes. This time, I brought two dresses to alter, each dress costs about $600. To me they are considered to be very, very expensive, but I trust her. She told me to come back in a little over a week, which was last Saturday, on that day in the morning, she called me and told me to come after 2 because there's construction going on in NP area. (She also said that the construction would be done around 1:40pm). I asked her if my dresses were ready, she said yes. I just decided to head out early, hang out in the area and pick up my dresses after. Well, there's no construction so I was able to get to the shop at noon. She was surprised, and had me wait while she was dealing with other customers. I wanted just pick up my dresses real quick because parking meter was ticking, but I patiently waited. Finally everyone was gone, she started explaining why she couldn't alter my dresses. "Honey, these are very very very very expensive dresses, you see this lace? Matching line? And you see this fabric is glued? I melted, I need you permission, I melted...." I said, "ok for whatever reasons, if you had any problems, you should've called me earlier." She said, "I did. I called this morning", "No, this morning, you called me and said my dresses were ready. I asked you if they were ready and you said yes. You should have called me much earlier so I didn't have to wait and waste my time till today and came all the way here for nothing." Then I left. I paid for parking. I was mad. I knew that it was always challenging to communicate with her but this time I was so done. She just doesn't get my point... I am gonna have to find another alteration place now. read more

Joy, thank you! I am so happy I found you. I came in earlier this month with a bridesmaid dress that I needed fitted. I had to order it online, it was huge, and I hadn't found a local tailor I trusted yet. I came on here(yelp) to find reviews and hope for the best...Joy had some really great reviews -mentioning doing a good job and good pricing. Well, the reviews were not wrong. She is LOVELY, talented, and very reasonably priced. She has been a designer for many years so has a great eye. She re-shaped my dress in 2 weeks and even when I showed up the day of to pick it up she made quick adjustments to shorten the straps right on the spot. I will 1000% be coming back to get all of my clothes fixed by her. read more

She did such an amazing job on my anniversary dress! She took it from a size large to a small and it looks seamless. Very sweet lady and excellent prices. What more could you ask for? Very happy with her work and will definitely come again read more

100% would recommend Joy Tailoring if you need a tailor! The owner was so nice and helpful. I needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed and taken in and she did it super quickly! The price was half the cost of any other tailor and the quality was amazing! I will definitely come back :) read more

After purchasing my wedding dress from a private seller, I was unsure of where to take the dress for alterations. I worked hard to find the exact dress I wanted at a price that was in my budget, and after finding the perfect dress I was nervous to entrust the dress to just anyone, so I started by calling local bridal stores for recommendations. I was overwhelmed by the extreme variations in prices I was quoted, so I decided to turn to my favorite resource for seeking professional, quality services - Yelp! Amy was warm and welcoming from the first telephone call and quoted me a price that seemed very reasonable. Joy Tailoring had excellent reviews on Yelp, so I decided to schedule my first fitting. Amy was just as warm and welcoming in person as she as over the telephone. She made me feel very comfortable and assured me that she would take great care with my dress, both of which put my mind at ease. After two fittings, which included slightly taking in the waist, slightly shortening the hem, and sewing in cups, Amy had my dress steamed and ready for pick-up. Amy has an eye for detail and is a perfectionist, which paid off on my wedding day, because my dress fit like a glove. She also gave me great recommendation to Crest Cleaners in Santa Ana to have my dress and my husband's suit dry cleaned after the wedding, both of which were done with great quality and for a great price. I will definitely be coming back to and recommending Joy Tailoring for alterations! Thank you, Amy! read more

Thank you Nana for the amazing work done on my prom dress. My dress was altered perfectly. It looked so nice when I tried it on again! Nana is such a sweet lady, and you can tell she took her time with the alteration. Her prices are very reasonable, and her work is great so I would definitely recommend going to her if you need alterations. Keep up the good work, and thank you for making my dress look even better! :) read more

After having my original wedding dress ruined by a different tailor (one inside a wedding dress boutique mind you) I was desperate to find not only a new wedding dress but also an excellent tailor just 2 weeks before our wedding! It was extremely stressful but after speaking with Imy over the phone I felt relieved! I brought in my new wedding dress (bought off the rack at some little shop in LA) and Imy tailored it perfectly for me. Even though she was extremely busy, she fit me in! Upon our first meeting I began to cry as I was overcome with emotion about the whole situation and Imy was so warm and comforting. I trusted her instantly and my dress came out perfectly! She is not only wonderfully skilled at her craft but she is a kind person with a big heart! She genuinely enjoys making her customers happy and helping others! Thank you so much Imy! read more

The experience in Joy Tailoring is great. Also A local suit bespoke recommended me to come here since he know I'm in rush to get something fit well. I first have brought a suit pants here to alternate to a slim fit. It was perfectly done a week later. Then I also brought a suit jacket, casual jacket, and a pair of pants here. Amy was able to finish the work perfectly. She even waited me after her store hour for me to come pick it up a day earlier since I let her know I'm in rush. And the rate was very reasonable and it's a considerably fast turn around time. I have brought 2 piece suit to other "bespoke" tailor, the turn around time is double and the price was much higher, and Amy work is comparable if not better then them. I am overall very happy and will consider to bring more clothes to tailor here. read more

Wish we could give Joy Tailoring TEN STARS! We went to see Amy on a recommendation from a very sweet and happy bride. Amy's warmth, her knowledge, and her artful and meticulous eye are so incredibly appreciated. She worked miracles on our daughter's wedding dress! We can not express our gratitude enough. This once in a lifetime moment was made even more special by Amy. Side note, not only is the quality out of this world, the service unprecedented, but the pricing is so reasonable especially for the work she does. 10 Star experience. The icing on the cake is that you leave feeling like you just made a lifelong friend! :) read more

Please do yourself a favor and go to Joy Tailoring for all your tailoring needs. I did a thorough research before settling on a specific seamstress for my wedding dress and she was the most skilled and affordable out of all the other ones I had inquired about. I was blown away by her attentiveness and tailoring skills. She truly went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with my wedding dress alterations. I am 5'1 and got a pretty massive ball gown. One would think that such a dress would swallow me, but she's done such a fantastic job that it compliments my body instead and fits like a dream. She sewed me detachable off-shoulder sleeves for the church ceremony that I can take off for the reception. They match the dress perfectly and are exactly what I had envisioned. The top of my dress was a bit too see-through to my family's liking, and she was able to sew matching pattern on it, with the same detailing (beads, etc...). It matches the dress so well, I can't tell which details came with the dress and which ones she added. The boning of the dress was quite uncomfortable and I thought I couldn't do anything about it since it's necessary to maintain the structure of my strapless dress, but she went ahead and fixed it! The dress is now super comfortable and no longer scratching me/leaving red marks on my skin (yet still just as supportive and sturdy). I could go on and on about all the things she did that exceeded my expectations but the review just would be too long. Keep in mind that all of these alterations were at a very affordable cost - my cousin whose wedding dress was 1/4 cheaper than mine paid more in tailoring at David's Bridal than I did at Joy Tailoring. Note: Because of COVID19, I had to postpone my wedding celebrating until next April so I won't be posting pictures of my wedding dress until then. I wasn't going to post a review until then either but realized I would be doing a disservice to other brides-to-be by waiting until after the wedding before posting a review. read more

Amy got back to me the day after I wrote this review, and she finished up my bridesmaid's dress quickly for me, and it looks GREAT! So, so appreciate her communicating back after I tried everything in my power to reach out the day prior to get my altered bridesmaid's dress back. She's so kind, and these are just unprecedented times, and she's continuing to work hard to get all of her clients' items tailored and looking great. I told her it would be WISE if she updated her answering machine to say that she's not in the shop because of everything happening with COVID-19 to keep her clients informed on what's happening, at least. Or to at least put a note on her the door to her shop, in case anyone comes in trying to find her. Additionally, I told her that her answering machine is also full, so I couldn't leave a voicemail. So she is aware. read more

The best! Honestly, Joy went above and beyond expectations for my wedding dress. Not only did she tailor my dress to fit me perfectly and create the most beautiful bustle, she custom designed a detachable bow that took my dress to the next level. I showed her an inspo picture, and she created something that looked absolutely designer. On top of that, she is the kindest human being. I can't recommend Joy enough. Thank you so much Joy! read more

Joy is THE BEST! She beautifully altered my dress that had layers of tulle and somewhat intricate beading. She was so kind from start to finish, and made me feel beautiful. She was quick, turning it around in 2 weeks and for an extremely reasonable price. I will bring all of my tailoring to Joy and recommend her 10/10. read more

I came to Amy after buying my wedding dress in Austin Texas. I would be going back for the wedding but wanted to get alterations close to where we lived at the time in California. She made me feel soo comfortable and worked perfectly to fit my timeline. I fluctuated with my weight through out the process but each time I had a fitting the dress got better and better. It truly fit absolutely perfect!! I would recommend Amy for dress alterations to anyone! Let her work her magic and trust in the process. I could not be happier. I was married back in April 2019.

I was recommended to use Joy Tailoring from my friend, who had her wedding dress altered here 3 years ago. Amy, the tailor was very accommodating with my schedule. I believed I had 4 fittings with her. She hemmed my dress, took in the waist and hips, added bustle, and fixed my sleeves. She also made my veil. She did an amazing job. She was very careful with the lacing. Overall a wonderful experience. read more

One of the dresses for for a wedding that had been rescheduled multiple times and the dress did not zip all the way due to the weight I gained since the dress was purchased two years prior.
