I was wary to come here based on some of the reviews, but called ahead just in case. The woman on the phone was not friendly at all. She sounded half asleep and like she would rather be doing anything else. This was at 10am btw. She was kind of rude and left a bad taste in my mouth, so I went to Flavio's instead. The woman there was so nice and inviting and really made me feel good about giving her my business. Go there instead! read more

She did an amazing job with my dress. I'm very happy with the results and will definitely be coming back.

I brought a dress in to see if I could get it altered for an event. I could tell she seemed busy, so I asked if I could have it done by a certain date. She told me to just try it on and once I did. She said that she couldn't do anything because of the material and also said that her time is valuable and didn't have any time for this alteration. I totally get that she may have been busy, but it was so rude and why make me even try it on if she knew she didn't have time? I left there and drove over to Flavio's and she was so kind and said absolutely she could work with it and complete it within the timeframe. read more

I have broad shoulders and chest. My shirt and jacket both needed the sleeves shortened so they had to come off. She took the sides on on those and my vest too. A lot of work to look great on my special day. Unfortunately, the bride didn't work out so well! read more

Lili's Alterations - Lili did a complete restructuring of my shirt and jacket. She did awesome!! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Camarillo, California

I came in with my wedding dress and instead of politely turning me away because she's too busy, she had me try it on only to insult me that I bought a dress way too big. Isn't the point of me bringing my dress to you is so you can resize it? She rudely told me it's too big and I need to buy a new one that's smaller otherwise I'd be spending way more money on alterations than the dress. I believe she quoted me over $1000. I've never been treated so badly before by someone I tried to give my business to. Instead I took my dress to a nice man in midtown Ventura, shop called Manuel's. A real tailor. He said he'd have it ready for me a week before my wedding and said the size was no issue and he could fix it and quoted me $125. Give that man your business, he knows what he's doing!! read more

I came to Lili on the verge of a mental breakdown. My wedding dress (which had taken 8 months to come in) arrived too small as the bridal shop had ordered the wrong size. My wedding was in less than 4 months and the recommended alterations place from the bridal shop estimated the cost of my alterations would be around $1900 and "it won't be the dress you purchased". Desperate, I called around to local alterations shop and found my fairy godmother, Lili. She evaluated the dress and immediately had a plan that would preserve the dress and cost less than half of what I was originally quoted. She got the work done in less than 4 weeks and I can never repay her for what she did for me. Thank you Lili for making my wedding dress even more beautiful than it was when I bought it. You made my dreams come true!!! read more

I went to Lili's to get my bridesmaid dress hemmed. I thought it would need additional work since I purchased it a little bit because I'm recently pregnant but all it needed was a hook added to the top of the zipper and it was perfect. She did a great job and the dress was ready on the date, as promised. I'm new to Camarillo and was worried about finding a decent tailor so I'm glad I found her. Would highly recommend! read more

Lili's Alterations - Wedding dress that was hemmed - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Camarillo, California

To be fair the work Lili did on hemming a bridesmaid dress was good but she asked for 6 weeks to finish the job and when that 6 weeks came she had not done it yet but she made up excuses and lied trying to buy herself more time. When I showed up 2 days later to pick up my dress she hadn't finished it yet. this was all days before the wedding that was out of town. It was also very expensive more to hem the dress than it was to buy the dress. read more

Lili altered my wedding dress quickly and perfectly, avoiding multiple fittings. I brought my dress to her less than two months before the wedding and she was finished within weeks. Ahead of schedule, even! I highly recommend her! She was extremely accommodating with my schedule and I was pleased with the results. read more

Lili's Alterations - Wedding gown - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Camarillo, California

This is my first time needing an alteration shop in the area and decided to visit Lili's based off of the reviews. I was hoping she'd be able to help with a small alteration but instead turned us away. She had my daughter try on the outfit and then said that she didn't think that it needed any alterations when that clearly is not the case. The neckline of the outfit is saggy and she rudely said that I should just iron it. Not sure if she was too busy to help or maybe she just wasn't interested in this type of alteration. After finding a new alteration shop that was able to help, I was told that they've heard from other customers who have been turned away and told similar things. Such a disappointment as this shop is close by, but I'm happy to have gone elsewhere. read more

I dropped off my wedding gown on 7/2 for alterations. She gave me a receipt of what needed to be done (hem and bustle only) and it would be ready on 8/27. She called on 8/22 to confirm when the wedding was and she told me she was working on it. I didn't hear from her again so I called on 9/1 to get an update. She said she was working on the bustle and not to worry. I called again on 9/7 because the only day I can come was that weekend. My wedding was on 9/18! I mentioned to her this time the ticket said 8/27 and she just replied "I know". I was honestly shocked at how rude she was. She never once apologized or told me she was behind. She just stated again that she was working on the bustle. I called her on 9/9 because she still hadn't given me an estimate and again she said she's working on the bustle and would call me back with a price. She never called me back and when I got to the store the following morning she has a sign that says "cash only". Extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and consideration. Luckily my dress looked perfect but I would not recommend her simply because of the stress this all caused me during such an important time. read more

She completed the alterations to my daughter's dress timely and at a reasonable price.

I needed a dress hemmed last minute for a wedding. Lili saved the day. She did an amazing job. She was so nice! read more

I went in and hopes of having something altered altered but she the owner I'm assuming said no that they she could not do that alteration.. All I wanted was added some fabric so I could slip into a vest a best but before I could even explain she just told me no. I understood that there was no give on my vest but was offering ideas on how to make it work from another business suggested and it was no,no and no. she said that she was too busy to do any alteration but I didn't even give her a time frame. I just thought it was very rude the response. She did however suggest someone else even though it was a bit passive aggressive, hence why it inst a 1 star review. I won't be going to her for any alterations in the future with the response and attitude given. read more

I came in to have my uniform patches altered she did it on the spot for me! I was fully ready to come back a day or two from now. Amazing customer service! And she does other uniform alterations for those of us SVM in the area looking to avoid the uniform store! Will definitely continue coming to Lili's! read more

I bought a dress from Free People that I needed to wear for my vacation in Hawaii. I received it and it was huge !!! I found Lilli and she saved the day. She shortened it and took it up so it fit perfectly. She is so nice and funny and does an excellent job. I highly recommend her and I will be bringing all my dresses to her from now on. Thank you Lilli read more

Possible shut down of business. I went to Lili's two different times - once during the work week at around 5 and once on Saturday around 4. The website and the sign say the establishment is open 9-6 Monday-Saturday. The door was locked, there was no sign that said closed/open. read more

I highly recommend lili!!! She fixed my wedding bridal gown and made sure everything was perfect before I could take it home. I felt very comfortable going to her and she was so nice and honest and she really gives it her all to make it happen. She shortened my gown and made a custom overskirt applicable to my dress and fixed my mesh ripped area and fitted the sides, she added buttons so I can hang the Bustles of the dress since it had a long train I will forever go to Lili for any alterations and she did an amazing job on my bridal dress, she's very knowledgeable and fast. Her price was very reasonable especially for what she did. You won't be disappointed she does an amazing job. She has also shortened a previous bridesmaid dress I needed to get fixed. read more

Lili is a gem -she is truly a talented hard working and did an amazing work altering my dress for my daughter's wedding . I truly recommend her read more

I want to give special thanks to Lili's Alterations. I needed to get some alterations made for the next day. Unfortunately, when you are a vertically and horizontally challenged man with everything you buy, you get to know a tailor. I went for years to Eldin at Camarillo Cleaners as he had a tailor in house for 35 years. He jokingly said, "She couldn't take it anymore after 35 years." Camarillo cleaners still do alterations, but they send them out. I was in a jam and went to Lili's. I told her I needed them for a meeting and she took care of them without issue. She did s tremendous job and excellent turnaround time. Her prices are a bit more than Eldin at Camarillo Cleaner, but when you needed alterations done well and quickly, there is going to be no price too high for her gift. Unfortunately, I don't think God will make me taller or thinner after 45 plus years on earth. I think you have to buy nice clothes, and make sure they fit. Lili is very good and would highly recommend her for alterations. read more

Lili altered my wedding dress for my December 2018 wedding. The dress fit perfectly and I felt comfortable and beautiful in it. I had so many compliments on the dress during the wedding and from the pics. Lili was lovely to work with and finished the dress in a short time period. I highly recommend her for any special occasion alteration. read more

Lili did a fantastic job with the alterations that were needed to make my daughter's maid-of-honor dress perfect for her sister's upcoming wedding. Our family has used Lili's services for all of our alterations (both women's and men's) for many years. She is friendly, as well as professional. Thank you, Lili, for always knowing the best way to "fix" our clothing issues! read more

I had been looking for a new alterations place after a bad experience at another place. (Never go to a dry cleaner to do your alterations!) I had found Lili's "by accident" while cruising Google Maps and saw all the 5-star reviews. I had two skirts that needed minor repairs, and a pair of sweatpants (sentimental value!) that needed new elastic. Lili's store is about the size of a postage stamp and charmingly furnished. You get a real hint of boutique Old World style and service such as you might find in Paris or Buenos Aires. She and her shop are just darling. Due to the convenient hours (open till 6pm) I swung by one day around 5:30pm after work. TBH, I was a little taken aback at the price quote, but I just decided to go ahead and do it. I'm SO GLAD I did! She did an incredibly professional job on my mending. You cannot see where she made any of the repairs, and the job she did on the sweatpants was actually BETTER than the original. (Yes, I just paid $25 to repair a $10 pair of ancient bright red White Stag sweatpants, but.. but.. they are my beloved Santa pants!) All three repairs cost me $40 (she accepts cash and checks). If you want high quality with no regrets, go to Lili. You definitely get what you pay for. On a side note, Lili has great personal style with candy pink lipstick and matching manicured nails. Plus, there are some tempting and super cute antique stores (and great architecture) on Palm Ave; it's one of the nicest areas in teeny-tiny but adorable Old Town Camarillo, and quick and convenient to get to both via Arneill and Lewis Rd. read more

The best tailor I've ever been to! She is professional, friendly, and very precise. She always puts the customer first and her service is outstanding. I will not take my clothes to anyone else. Every item has come out perfect, just as specified. This is the way all alteration and tailoring businesses should run. I never write reviews but I was so impressed by the customer service that I had to share my opinion with others. Thank you so much for being so good at what you do! read more

I found Lili on Yelp & needed an alteration for my wedding dress. The dress was a hefty price itself so I wanted to make sure it went to a good/safe place. Right when you walk into Lili's you can feel she does great work and truly cares about making you feel great on your wedding day. Her alterations were beautiful when I picked up the dress, & on my wedding day. Thank you Lili! read more

Lili is super!!! I had a formal wedding to go to, and last minute, discovered the dress is way too long... she hemmed the SAME day for me, as I had to get on a plane the next day. The dress had exterior tulle to cut, and an inside lining to hem by sewing it. It was done very professionally. I highly recommend her! read more

I have used Lily's tailor for a number of things and she gets it perfect each time. She does an out standing job each time, and at a fair price. Hem of pants was $10, she fixed a gap in a jean waist for $30, fixed a dress length for $20, fixed my work coat sleeves for $45 (with an added pen pocket)... so her prices are fairly common. She's real nice, gives a fair deal, and comes out perfect every time. So 5 stars all around. Btw- these are prices she quoted, they're isn't a standard pricing. She usually bases them off the amount of work she has to do. She's also been in business for years, so it tells you how successful and good she is. read more

Thank you so much! My fiancée and I had just been turned away from Mindy's Bridal Alterations because we were gay and so we were pretty much ready to just expect that kind of treatment from everyone, but Lili was fantastic! She was completely friendly and welcoming, she didn't make it about our "gay wedding" just about our Special Day!! She's a sweety and really just want us to look as beautiful as possible! read more

This was my first time getting an alteration done, and I was pleasantly surprised! I had jeans hemmed, and she copied the way the original hem looked, which I didn't even think was possible. Owner is really sweet and welcoming, and I was surprised at how cheap the service was. If you're looking for an alteration, look no further! read more

**THIS PLACE IS THE TRUTH** This was BY FAR the BEST EXPERIENCE I have had with a Tailor! I came to Lili in desperate need of a miracle, as I was asked to be the Maid of Honor for my Best Friends Wedding. I'm not "exactly" built like the other bridesmaids, yet was still expected to wear the same dress as the other girls! I came to Lili with a dress several sizes too small, fabric, a picture of what the dress looks like on a model,and a dream! Lili did not turn me away like other shops, but took-on the challenge. She recreated the dress, made just for me, in under one month! She saved the day, and made my vision as Maid of Honor possible! She is talented, kind, patient, creative, and best of all FAIR! I strongly suggest coming here for ALL your tailoring needs! She's AMAZING!! read more

Lili's alterations saved my butt! I didn't realize I needed my bridesmaid dress hemmed until the day before my flight out for a wedding. I didn't think anyone would be able to hem a dress in such a short amount of time but Lili's alterations did it!!! They took such a huge load off my shoulders on such a hectic day. Thank you SO much. The dress looks great and it was done so quickly and for a reasonable price. I 100% recommend them. read more

Truly the best! I've used her for basic pant hems to bridesmaid dresses. Prices are comparable to anywhere else, and turn around time is quick. read more

I've taken many items in for alterations and she's always done an excellent job her prices are very fair

Was charged $65 to do a hem that had no lining. She forgot to do the sleeves twice and never completed the job. My commute to see her was 30 minutes each time. I gave her over 3 weeks to do the job. What a disaster. read more

Lily did an excellent job hemming my Mother of the Bride dress for an early July wedding. I also brought by my dress rehearsal dress to have a snap put on. She was so kind to do that for me when I picked up my dress she was hemming. Excellent service from Lily. I highly recommend her and business. read more
