    The polyester embroidered suit I had tailored. Not easy fabric.
    Katharine A.

    I'm so impressed. I had an embroidered polyester suit that needed tailoring in 3 days. Nargis did it in less than 48 hours. She also hemmed a pair of jeans. The price for that fast and expert service was absolutely reasonable. Highly recommend. I'll be back.

    The dress Nargis tailored!

    Nargis tailored my dress last year and my most recent suit. She's amazing at what she does!! I would highly recommend!!

    I walked in not knowing what to expect, but I read the reviews and was not let down. It was a very last minute request, but she got it done THE SAME DAY. Had some alterations/repairs that needed to be done for a uniform and a greatcoat. She listened and I trusted her opinion. Like I said all done within the same day, let alone within roughly 2 hours. She made it look too easy. Definitely went above and beyond, I apologize for the late review. Will be back in the future when I need tailoring done.

    I was referred to Le Papillon by my grandmother for alterations on my wedding dress. My overall experience from start to finish was amazing! Super impressed and the owner does everything herself. Truly talented and great customer care.

    Bridesmaids dress - at first it was way too big, but after alterations it fit perfectly!

    This has been my go-to tailor for years! I am very petite, so I basically need to get everything hemmed and/or altered. I've had a number of tricky dresses and bridesmaid dresses altered here, and it always turns out perfect! Lately, I've been coming for my own bachelorette and wedding event alteration needs (very important outfits!!) and everything has come back beautiful. The owner is so sweet, and always gets the job done quickly and efficiently. Definitely give her a call before coming in, so she knows to expect you. Would recommend!!

    Had an odd experience here and only came here because of the great reviews so I thought I'd share my experience. I had a House of CB dress I needed hemmed at the bust and shorten the shoulder straps. I got this dress for my birthday so I took it in on Monday and asked if she can have it done by Friday. She said she can most likely have if done by then. As I was picking up my dress, she commented how it was so much work for this adjustment. Okay? That's why you're charging me $70 right? Odd comment for someone who seems to do more intricate work such as costumes. She had my dress done by Thursday, and as I was picking my dress up she kept trying to upsell me to get it further adjusted saying the dress was too tight on me. I was extremely uncomfortable and it felt like a backhanded remark on my weight. Then I asked if she had a hanger, as places like dry cleaners give you your clothes back on a hanger. That was my thought process. She seemed really confused by my question and was very reluctant to give me a hanger to take my dress back on. Regardless of all that, I'm looking at the stitching now and it looks very sloppy. I will not return

    I have brought in some pricey items with tricky adjustments and she did amazing on these. Beautiful & undetectable work! I brought a very thin fabric, final sale dress from France that was too small and she did such an amazing and beautiful job letting it out. Highly recommend.

    The shoulders were sagging a lot so she added shoulder pads and it really helps show off the embroidery

Where I live in South OC, most places charge at least $15 per hem, which really adds up. This place did it for $4.50, or $9 for the wide legs. Well worth the drive! I dropped off seven pairs and it was less than $40. The only thing I would have liked they gave me more clarity about was to let me know when I called that wide legs would be more. But I think that is pretty standard practice, so I wasn't too mad. This place is kind of hard to find because it is so small. My navigation was telling me that I had arrived and I wasn't seeing it until I saw the small sign next to the dentist office. It was unclear on whether or not we could park in the small lot between this place and the apartment buildings, so to play it safe if I parked across the street by the supermarket, which I really enjoyed visiting after. We don't have a lot of Mexican supermarkets in South OC where I live, so it was fun to pick up some things from there and made the drive out more worth it as well. Turnover time was great as well. I can't comment on more difficult or involved jobs because I didn't use them for that, but I highly recommend coming here for hems.

For those males who like to be business fashionable during work, my entire story is below. Hopefully it helps with making your decision whether to call Nana or not. I gave her a call on a Sunday and set an appointment for a pants hem and shirt altercation. I have body measurements that require very custom measurements. In order to be able to breathe during work, I need at least a 15.5 to 16 neck size shirt, but the sides, bottoms, and pretty much everything else is just a mess. The shirt in question was a brand name shirt I bought at the mall at a discount. The only thing that fit was the neck, everything else was just ugggh =( I have gone to other brick and mortar altercations before that would charge me up the woozah for all the changes needed for the shirt. With Nana, she did a quick assessment and immediately went to work. The entire process felt very friendly and one on one. My sides, sleeves, bottoms, everything pretty much needed to be done. On top of that, the style of the buttons on the sleeves made it one of the more advanced altercations needed. However, Nana's prices were fantastic given the attention to detail and service she provided. All the altercations to the shirt itself usually would have cost me over 50 by itself at other altercation locations. But Nana gave me a discount and with the hem altercations on the pants, the total still came to 40 total. She told me she needed a few days, but I told her my new work started in three days and she catered to my needs. I picked up within two days and the work was fantastic. I could not have asked for better. When I consider those 100% made to fit stores that charge at least 100 for a quality shirt, then I consider that I can just buy quality fabric shirts at my neck size and discounted and bring them to Nana.... I will def choose Nana every time. I plan on bringing a few more shirts over sometime within the next few weeks. TLDR: Nana is a joy to work with. Fantastic work. Fantastic and competitive prices considering the attention she provides you. She is very flexible on your needs. Highly reccomended!!

However, marking up alteration prices by approximately 50%-60% is simply not acceptable. Unless I receive some type of credit or adjustment from the owner, unfortunately, I will not be using their services again.

    Golden Stitch - Quilt square at our baby shower before Nicole did the industrial press and added initials

    Golden Stitch

    (70 reviews)

    This is a long overdue review! I first reached out to The Golden Stitch on Yelp in October 2025. I…read morewas starting to plan my baby shower and had a crazy idea. I wanted guests to design individual quilt squares at the shower and have them sewn together afterwards. The idea originally came up online and suggested having people use fabric markers or puffy paint. Since I have a cricut, I immediately thought the idea would work well with HTV decals. However, I quickly realized cutting and weeding enough decals was going to be a nightmare, and they were unlikely to hold up well over time. This was when I turned to Yelp. I started searching for anywhere that did custom designs on clothing, thinking this would be the best lead. The Golden Stitch came up, and I sent the same message I was sending a bunch of other businesses. Very quickly, I got a response from Nicole. At that point, I wasn't sure we would be using her services. She was still incredibly helpful in giving advice on other items involved in the project, specifically things to look for when choosing fabric. Much to my surprise, she let me know she had done HTV decals for onesies for her friend's baby shower! I ended up going down in person to see samples of the onesies and discuss more details about how to make this idea come to life. She was incredibly knowledgable and very transparent about the pitfalls of some things I suggested and pricing of what I was looking for. By the time I left, I knew what to buy for fabric and what kind of art could and couldn't be printed at the price I could afford. Unfortunately, it did take me a while to find some art packages on Etsy to purchase and I was slow to come back and send her what I wanted. Nicole was incredibly understanding and still did her best to accommodate me and make sure I had the decals in time for the baby shower. She even went through and sized each piece of artwork to fit well on the square size we were using. Despite the time crunch I created, she got the sheets of HTV decals to me before the baby shower. My mother in law, my husband and I spent time sitting together and cutting them apart. Nicole even explained to me how to use my cricut heat press to secure the decals at the shower. After the shower, she was able to put them through her industrial press to help ensure they last along time. When I came back to ask her to press the squares, we discussed how to identify who did what square. This was something I hadn't considered when people were designing their squares. At this point, I been messaging and working with Nicole for several months and I now had a newborn at home. She was super helpful in suggesting how to add initials and/or names to the squares. I was overwhelmed and not giving much direction. Nicole was, again, so quick to get them pressed and add names/initials. What really made it special was the time she and her fiancé took to place the names and initials creatively. She also helped us design the center square with our son's full name, date of birth, and birth stats. My mom has been sewing the squares and the quilt is now almost completed. This keepsake would have been just a sad-could-have-been memory without Nicole. Now our son will have a custom quilt from everyone who came to celebrate him at the baby shower. I'm so grateful for Nicole's wonderful services, but also her compassion and patience. This project is so special to our little family and wouldn't have been possible without her.

I was a little nervous since this cape did have embroidery and heavy detail on the sides, so I knew it was going to be hard to do, but she said it wouldn't be a huge issue. But she did see it immediately and pointed out she could only take it in so much so it didn't ruin the embroidery pattern. She gave me a quote that was under 100 dollars (so, it was totally worth buying on sale even though I knew it was 3 sizes too big and would need altered) (she literally saved me thousands) She called me about 2-3 days later for pick up, and she knocked it out of the park I came back in for more alterations and I was immediately greeted by the owner,Kim, who is so warm and friendly.

She actually called me same day and told me it was ready for pick up. The job she did was FLAWLESS! And she charged only 20 dollars Then, my third visit. I needed these items done. -light blue dress that needed taken in because it was a size too big -a sheer maxi dress that needed taken in all over and about 9 inches taken off the bottom -blazer style dress that needed taken in And a couple other items. However, I noticed the owner, Kim, who was there for 20 years had already moved. Please, spread the word. If you or anyone you know, needs some tailoring by highly qualified professional with tons of experience and family owned. I'm extremely sad this tailoring staple in OC has moved due to the rent almost doubling. They have been around for 20 years.
