Luba is incredible and so good at what she does - not to mention she's a gem. Go to her.

Rose completely saved me when my bridal shop got me my wedding dress two weeks before my wedding. She was patient and willing to help me in my crisis and went above and beyond to create the dress of my dreams. She was so kind and did extremely high quality and creative work to bustle my very long train. Would HIGHLY recommend read more

Wedding dress tailoring - thank you so much! Beautiful work!! Gives good professional advice and guidance as to what would look and work best. Pricey but very high quality! read more

I'm leaving the "average" number of stars because I can't evaluate their work - only want to say that is an extremely expensive tailoring business. Got a $1500 quote for fairly minor alterations to a wedding dress and decided to go elsewhere. I'm not saying that to dissuade anyone from using them! But if you, like me, had a panic attack seeing that number - this is a premium business. read more

Luba is the best. She specializes in wedding dresses and formal attire, and there is nothing she can't do. She re-cut my daughter-in-law's wedding dress to fit her like a glove, and people still remember how perfect it was more than a decade later. She's now doing the same for a too-big formal dress of mine. If you're looking for walk-in service or a simple alteration, this isn't the place. Because Luba has more than enough work, she only accepts new clients by referral. read more

Impeccable tailoring! Great service. I truly believe Rose can make anything happen! Forever tailor!

I found my wedding dress next door at Glamour Closet, and I was lucky that it mostly fit right off the rack. I wanted to make sure that the couple of minor alterations were done right, so I went to Luba's. Eteri and Rose did a fabulous job! They took in the lace straps/shoulders, replaced all the buttons in back, added cups, and created a bustle. Everything was done so well, it looked like the dress had been made that way originally. Thank you! read more

Eteri was a dream! My best friend had a wedding dress dilemma and had to buy a brand new dress off-the-rack six days before her wedding! We got her dress from Glamour Closet (love) and called their list of recommended tailors. Eteri got back to us quickly and understood my bestie was in a jam. She carved time in her busy schedule to see us the same-day and guaranteed that she would get the dress done in time (even if it meant her lack of sleep). Well, Eteri delivered on her promise! And it was no easy task; chopping of the train of seven layers or tulle, adding straps, fixing the beading, etc. We highly recommend Eteri at Luba's Tailoring! Worth the investment! read more

AMAZING! The service and the work! When my friends recommended this place I was very skeptical, I've had a few bad experiences with tailors in the past (ruining nice pants by making them too short and stuff)... but not this place! I came in and they were very friendly and honest with me. Didn't try to charge me an arm and a leg for something that will end up looking like crap anyway. Which I found to be very honorable. They told me flat out that some of my pants and jackets were just too big and altering them would not look good. In the end, I ended up leaving a pair of slacks, a sports jacket, and a tuxedo with them. I really wasn't expecting much, but when I came to pick it up I was amazingly surprised. The jacket fits like a glove! It looks great and I look great in it! I will definitely go here for all my tailoring needs in the future. read more

I had a great experience w/ Luba's tailoring. They did an amazing job fitting my wedding dress and I'll be sure to send other people in my life their way! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Eteri and her mom! I needed a new wedding dress altered less than a week before my wedding. Eteri offered to work all night to get my dress to me. She even got it done sooner, so I could take it to the cleaners to have it cleaned! All this in the midst of award season. Eteri worked off hours and she was just amazing! Truly a miracle worker. She also told me about a 24 dry cleaning service! Thank you Eteri!!! read more

I wish I could give Luba's 10 stars! I had a wedding dress nightmare and they went above and beyond to be super helpful. They made the entire thing less stressful. In the end, after a lot of uncertainty and back and forth on my end, and unlimited patience on their end, I brought them a dress that needed a handful of things altered in a short period of time and they delivered ahead of schedule and with perfection. I'm so glad I found this place. They really know their stuff and are in general great people. read more

Hate to write the negatives but the only redeeming quality of this place is that they are next door to glamor closet. I am getting my dress altered for less than half of the obscene quote this mean smokey woman quoted me. And she was really mean on the phone and in person! Way way overpriced and not friendly. Hell no! Don't waste your sweet time. read more

I went into Luba's tailoring to have a gown tailored for an event that was 2 days away. They were more than happy to help on the short time frame and brought the dress down to my size. It ended up fitting well and she did a quick and efficient job. It was a little expensive, probably because the dress had to be taken in on the back and the sides so that it would fit properly. The dress was also silk with seashells sewn own and they made sure all the seashells were properly connected. Overall I paid $90. I would definitely use this place again and am considering taking other strapless dresses in that tend to fall down and see what she can do to them. There is free parking behind the store. read more

I'm giving Lubas four stars even though I never used her services. I went in with two dress: a bridesmaid dress I purchased at Alfred Angelo's for $150 and a dress I had purchased on Ebay for $30. She was very nice, even waited after closing for me to get there. She spent about 15 minutes getting the dresses pinned. When we were done, I asked how much do I owe, and she said $360. $360!!! Good lord. I paid a total of about $180 for the dresses, so I was not about to spend that much on alterations. She was very nice about it though and I did feel bad not using her services. I'm sure she is very good, but this place is pricey!! read more

Super talented and hard working mother-daughter duo. They were so excited about my wedding dress and made the process seamless and fun!

Couldn't be happier - Wedding Gown Alteration Getting my dress altered 3000 miles from home, was a bit daunting... but Rose and her daughter were so great to work with, and very patient with me. I've come in twice to have my cap sleeves redone and some work on the bussle and corset parts of my dress. Both times they were beyond kind to me, giving me extra time to try on my sash, shoes, etc. and making me feel really spectacular all the while. I wasn't sure how I wanted the sleeves to fall, and they showed me different options and worked with me to make me feel beautiful in my gown. Cannot say enough about them. So happy with the outcome! read more

I found Lubas Tailoring on social media. They altered my vintage beaded wedding dress perfectly. Thank you Eteri and Rose!!

I could not have asked for any better than Rose at Luba's! I hope to have more altering to do with her in my future! She transformed my wedding dress into an absolute dream dress higher than any expectations I could have imagined! I'll send everyone I know to Luba's! From start to finish, I couldn't have asked for better care, consideration, or execution! Thank you ROSE for making me a gorgeous bride! read more

I bought my wedding dress next door at Glamour Closet and it needed major alterations. The dress was a 10 and I am a size 0. The lady who helped me with my dress gave me a piece of paper with alteration shop suggestions and Luba's was on the list, also right next door, so I decided to go with them. I figured, if the wedding dress shop is suggesting them - they must be good, right? Oh how I was so very wrong. First off - the shop smells like you're walking into a cigarette. Not the most appealing scent when getting your wedding dress fitted. Secondly, I've now been to two other tailors who said I over paid by FAR. So the story goes - I went to my first fitting and, as I mentioned, there were some major alterations to be done. Because there was SO much fabric, it was hard to see the train. She mentioned at the next fitting, we'd be able to see the length of the train better and decide what I wanted to do with it (make it smaller). So we set a time for my second appointment. She had to reschedule my 2nd fitting TWO times, claiming "personal issues," which led her to not having time to work on my dress. But she kept saying I had plenty of time, so it was okay. ....I just wanted my damn dress. It's my dress so I don't need anyone telling me "there is plenty of time." I'm the customer and I am paying you for your services, you don't dictate "plenty of time." Unfortunately, for my 2nd fitting, because I had to reschedule twice, my MOH was unable to make it. When I showed her my dress (the next day) she noticed the zipper was different than the original. It was now VERY exposed and the wrong color (my dress is ivory/white and the zipper was starch white. Also, the pull of the zipper was VERY VERY cheap looking. So I called the tailor and she had me text her. I asked her if there was anyway we could put the original zipper back out and make the zipper less exposed, as it now looks cheap. She said that she put the original zipper back (lie #1) and that there was nothing that could be done (lie #2). So I insisted to have it fixed and she said "if it rips, it is on you." Now, that's just weird and quite rude to say to someone, but whatever. She has ZERO customer service skills. Before I took the dress back in, I went to see the original dress in Nordstrom's and alas, it was a completely different zipper. Completely invisible and with a small pull. Confirming the tailor did lie to me. My friend who is a RTW designer came back to the shop with me to talk to the tailor. Again, she said there was nothing that could be done, but if I kept on insisting she would do it but it would rip. She was so incredibly rude to my friend, I was embarrassed. She absolutely ruined my bridal experience for fitting my dress. A shame. She also kept insisting she kept the original zipper and it must of been a different "batch." ......what?! She's such a joke. I took the dress with me because I wasn't about to leave my dress with this wretched, miserable woman. I took it to another tailor who said it could absolutely be done no problem at all and she in fact fixed the zipper in front of me. It looks SO much better, back to the way I originally bought it. I'm writing this detailed review so another bride doesn't get duped into going to this shop. I HIGHLY HIGHLY advise to AVOID THIS TAILOR. read more

Before the days of Yelp, I randomly chose Luba's because it is located near my house. I'm so happy I did. They fixed a gown in a hurry because they knew I was out of time and graciously delivered the gown to my doorman while I was away! What unbelieivable service! We go there now for everything from hemming, to altering my chef coats, to patching jeans and soon I'll take the bridesmaids dress I'm wearing in October. I know Rose will make it fabulous. read more

Brides BEWARE. My experience getting my wedding dress tailored here was an absolute NIGHTMARE!!! I found this shop through yelp and chose it because of all the good reviews. Now I can only guess that these reviews were written by friends and family. I feel taken advantage of. Rose tried to do the LEAST amount of work possible for the MOST amount of money. She charged $350 which she made me pay upfront on the first appt. Then she said she couldn't do an actual fitting until she made a new back piece for my corset back. We did spend 5 mins talking about future alterations like a bustle. Fast forward to my second appt. Rose acted like my dress was done and tried to get me out the door as fast as possible. And believe me I was confused. I had been in the dress for about 5 mins the first appt. And now she was done?!!??! She had already steamed, bustled the dress and was ready to get me OUT. I mentioned to her that she had told me we couldn't do the actual fitting until she did a new back piece. She tried to argue, blame me and charge me MORE even tho she said $350 covered EVERYTHING... Basically she blamed me for things that didn't do right, said she couldn't fix anything on the dress that everyone had those "problem spots". She was lazy and about the MONEY only... Unfortunately, Rose made the dress fit badly. It fit better before she did any alterations...I had to take my dress to a new tailor 3 days before the wedding and pay additional $350 to get my dress fixed! The NEW tailor did EVERYTHING Rose claimed she couldn't. In 3 DAYS, the new tailor took more time with me and the dress than Rose did in a couple of months. She didn't rush me, even though she had a major time crunch. She let out the seams, took out boning in the chest so it fit right, etc. luckily, it fit like a glove no thanks to Rose. Complete waste. Save yourself the stress, money and sadness of coming here!!! read more

Terrible job on mens suits! Terrible customer service!!!!!!This is clearly a wedding dress shop. I rarely give 1 star but this experience took the cake. Took my suit to be tailored at this place and they gave me a high ball price, but after some negotiating they came down a bit, still exorbitant for a suit. They tailored my suit and when I tried it on and addressed my concerns with the work they did and the specific things that bothered me about the way the suit was done they brushed it off and told me that it was normal when it clearly was not. I later returned when I noticed that there was 1/2 inch difference between the sleeves and requested that it be fixed. Upon doing so the daughter of the owner started arguing with me and gave me the worst attitude while she was measuring quickly claiming that the sleeves were the same length. After measuring 3 times and me persistently stating that the sleeves were not and to measure the right way, she recognized the difference and then claimed that "my arm were different lengths and my shoulders are off". I stated that I paid a great deal of money for custom tailoring and that it should be done right. She angrily took the jacket from me and upon picking it up the next day did nothing to fix or address my concerns. The jacket still did not look right on me. I felt as though I paid a great deal of money for a horrible experience that left me upset. I would never recommend this shady place to anyone. read more

I have never written a review on yelp, but felt extremely compelled to do so after visiting Luba's. I had a dress that needed a seam to be re-stitched. She looked at it and told me it was nothing, that I should I wait and she would fix it immediately. Within ten minutes the seam was fixed to perfection. Then I tried on the dress because I wanted her opinion on making the waist smaller. She told me the dress looked beautiful and that it wasn't worth making smaller (which is what I was leaning towards anyway). When I went to pay for the stitching, she refused to take money, saying it was nothing, I should just come back to when I have a bigger job for her. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She was so extremely nice and helpful, and went above and beyond in customer service. I will take everything to her from now on. Highly recommend. read more

Brought in a beautiful and new silk skirt that needed to be taken in. That part went okay. However, taking it in changed the hemline and so the hem needed alteration as well. Unfortunately, the skirt was completely lopsided when I got it back. So, I left it with them to fix the hem. Second time the hem was off again!! They were very nice about it and offered to fix it again but I decided to take the skirt home and do it myself. : ( I expected much better quality from a place that is so highly/positively reviewed on yelp. read more

While Rose was very kind and I'm sure she's an excellent seamstress, she did a half-assed, last-minute job on tailoring the slip for my lace wedding dress. I feel like it was a too small job that she kind of threw away and yet she still charged me over $100. Very very expensive and I think unless it's a more 'worthy' job go elsewhere where you might get the attention your project deserves. read more

Luba's was amazing! Very friendly and very efficient. My sister got her wedding dress altered and Rose did a really incredible job and very timely. I also altered my bridesmaid's dress there, which she did perfectly. Exactly what we wanted :) read more

GREAT! Owned by a woman named Rose, they've been here for 7 years. I had called almost 20 tailoring shops around LA who could take 2 yards of fabric from the bridesmaids dresses (as a surprise to my finance - now wife) and turn them into two ties and pocket squares for my best man and father since I couldn't find a pre-maid tie that matched. Dropped it off and presto! About 3 weeks later - beautiful hand made ties and pocket square! It looked like something you'd buy at a store! It was so good - I came back to have then tailor my wedding tux, dress shirts, and rehearsal dinner suit. WHICH by the way, they did in a WEEK! since I kind of waited to the last minute to loose that pre-wedding happiness weight. :) I walked out with two excellently tailored items that looked like they were made for my body type. Highly recommend! Ladies and clueless grooms alike - go here! read more

Really rude! ZERO customer service. They quoted me a ridiculous amount to drop the neckline 2" ... when i said wow $200 is almost the cost of my dress she literally said "I don't care how much you paid for your dress, that's not my problem" I immediately knew this wasn't the place for me.... NO THANK YOU RUDE LADY!!!! Learn how to treat the public. read more

I went to this business with a wedding dress two sizes too big from the waist down and alot of details on my gown. When it was time to pick up my wedding gown I was amazed. It fits my body and the alterations are perfect. I couldn't ask for more. Very professional business and Rose really wants your dress to be perfect. Thank you so much Rose. read more

Found them on Yelp and am thrilled with their work. I had a suit jacket altered. They are tremendous.

I brought my wedding dress here on the recommendation of Glamour Closet next door. I found the service polite and fast, and the work very well done. After my initial fitting, I lost a little more weight (bridal nerves), and Luba did the additional alterations quickly. I did end up paying a little more for the second round of alternations since the bodice of my dress had a whole bunch of beading, but I thought the pricing was very fair considering the quality of the work done. I highly recommend them! read more

These people are absolute miracle workers. They have fixed several clothing disasters caused by custom clothiers, other tailors, etc. Expensive but you get what you pay for. read more

Luba's tailoring saved my wedding dress. I had taken it to Ella's house of tailoring where they apparently have never bustled a wedding dress before and I had a week to get it done. Rose did it and did a beautiful job. I HIGHLY recommend. read more

Gorgeous work! This is the place to go for precious alterations! Fantastic service and fantastic results! I recently got married in my grandmother's 1940s wedding gown which needed some alterations to fit properly. Luba's added about four inches of lace to lengthen the dress and then refit the dress to fit like it was made for me. Even though I am almost comically taller than my grandmother, the added lace looked natural and lovely as though it was always part of the gown. I originally intended to have the gown merely lengthened, but the seamstress was a perfectionist in the best way -- as I was trying on the dress she noticed little parts that hadn't aged well and fixed them also, even though they weren't visible and I'd be the only one to know the difference (the clasp at the back of my collar was worn so she replaced it, there was a slight tear in the lace on the underarm so she patched it, the gathering on the bottom of the sleeves was a bit fragile and fiddly to get my arms through so she reinforced it, etc). I was nervous about turning the dress over to anyone to be altered because it's fragile and irreplaceable, but Luba's professionalism, care, and expertise are unmatched. read more

Luba is fantastic - she has a great eye for clothes and always knows what to do to make something fit perfectly. Very reliable, i came without calling and my dress was ready on time. Very happy. read more

Rose is an amazing seamstress. I trust her with anything (she is altering my wedding gown as you read this!) I wouldn't take my clothes to any one else. She is honest about the way things look, she is a perfectionist and she is the best in town. read more

Luba's Tailoring is the BEST! I went there with my wedding dress and my bride's made dresses. They turned EXACTLY how I wanted them. & I actually went back for my husband's tux. If you want a job well done, you need to go here. Honestly would not take my business anywhere else. I highly recommend. read more
