    Picking up perfectly hemmed jeans!
    Georgia R.

    The best seamstress in Tri Valley! I've come to Lois before about 4 years ago to fix a button on a pair of jeans and now recently had her hem a pair of Abercrombie flare jeans that were just too long for me (for reference, I'm 5'1"). Happy to report that everything is perfect! She measured me before I dropped it off and you have a choice of just a regular hem ($15) or a hem in the same style as the pant (my quote = $25). I opted for the same style as the pant & love the results! Will definitely be back!

    I was looking for an altercation shop and found Lois. I called her and asked her if she could do a special project for me and she said she could do it! I dropped off my garment and gave her detailed instructions and she followed them to a tee! She did a fantastic job and got it done fast! I highly recommend her to go to if you need an alteration or design.

    Lois did a fantastic job with the alterations of my dresses, pants and tops. The price is reasonable and was done in time before my trip!

    Lois is a delight. A bit of a treasure in an increasingly difficult area to find a good craftsman - she does amazing work! Highly recommend.

    Lois did an absolute phenomenal job on pants that needed hemming, tapering, and a waist expansion.

    LOVE my wedding dress! Monika altered my very difficult princess bridal gown to flawless…read moreperfection. And when I brought in my sparkle sneakers that I would change into after my heels, she adjusted the dress for free to be in between the heeled sneakers and 4 inch heels height so that I could wear my heels and change to sneaks with ease! She also did the bridesmaids dresses perfectly, which the vendor ordered to wide and too long so they were a mess! totally trust Monika with my most expensive bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses, the most important pieces of clothing I'll ever pay to alter!

    I took my formal gown to Monika's for alterations. It was such a stressful experience. I am so glad…read moremy best friend was with me for support. There was a lot of gaslighting so it was so helpful to have someone else to confirm that I wasn't imaging things. -I had to go back 5 times. She would promise things and then they weren't done when promised. At one of the fittings, a woman came in to pick up, but her items weren't ready. She said it was the second time she was promised her items would be ready. She was told it was prom season and they couldn't turn prom dresses away. -She took out the zipper of my dress to make it slightly bigger in the waist, but although I had lost more than 10 pounds, the waist was tighter. She said, no it was bigger. -After the first hemming, one side was too short and the front and back were too long. Luckily, she remeasured and was able to fix it. That was so stressful. I didn't think she could fix too short. The back was still too long, but I was afraid to have her try again. She again, kept telling me that she had measured and the hem was good. -I showed her one of the sequins was loose and instead of fixing it, she just pulled it off. I asked if she wanted the little repair bag of beads and sequins and she gave a little chuckle and said no. -My dress is taffeta and she made several little snags- one on front, more on the back where she took out the zipper. -She had to take off the sleeves to shorten the bodice, but they were put back wrong and she had to take them off and do them over. -The built in bra was put in way too high and she had to redo that. Then she barely attached them and they moved around while I was wearing the dress. Afterwards, I went back to ask her to attach the bra. She told me she attached it in 4 places and insisted on showing me. When she saw it was barely attached in 2 places, she said see, it is attached in 2 places. If it is attached more it will flatten the dress. That is a sample of the many gaslighting experiences. -One of the 5 times I had to go back, there was a young woman trying on what looked like a prom dress. Monika (I don't actually know her name) was struggling to zip it up, but she kept going. The fabric ripped. not the zipper, but the fabric. -This is so long, but I wanted to give details for a better picture of my experience. It was so stressful. I honestly thought she was ruining my very expensive dress and I was going to have to find something else to wear to my son's wedding. Based on my experience and what I saw while I was there, I am so surprised that Monika's has any good reviews.
