Maria always saves the day for me! Whether it's a work event, or last minute outfit she always helps me out! I have been going to her for years and feel bad that I am only now leaving a review. Just this week I had a very important public speaking event and two days before needed my pants and top fixed. She did it perfectly! So grateful for her amazing work and fair prices. She takes care of her customers. read more

Maria's Tailoring - My pants and top were perfect - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Her prices are amazing and the work is high quality. I had 10 items tailored.. an unfinished suit, a few skirt, a few dresses, and jeans. All fit perfect, nothing needed adjustments. Highly recommend, I'll drive out of my way to use them. read more

Quick turnaround, fair price, and very friendly! This was my first time at Maria's and I will be returning!

I brought my pants not only they weren't ready on time but she cut them to short. She didn't admit they were short. She gave me a bad attitude she is very unprofessional... read more

Hi, I had a really disappointing experience. I called ahead to confirm same-day service and was told it would be possible. However, when I arrived and tried everything on, Maria backed out of tailoring my outfit to fit properly. It was frustrating and a waste of time, especially after confirming beforehand. I would have appreciated clearer communication and honesty from the beginning. read more

Used this place to hem some pants, they did a great job -- so convenient, inexpensive, quick, and staff was very nice. I will definitely go back, and highly recommend! read more

My new go to place for all my tailoring needs. They did an amazing job fixing a skirt (making it new again), a stained paints and a sweater. Super affordable too for the quality and speed of service you get! So glad I found this place! I was impressed and will recommend to friends & fam'. read more

I came in the other day after being turned down by several other places for a simple request -- adding a zipper to a memory foam pillow so I could wash it. I originally just wanted a basic zipper, but when I picked it up, I was genuinely impressed by the work. The zipper was cleanly and expertly hidden, and the craftsmanship was top-notch. The price was very reasonable, and the customer service was excellent. Highly recommend! read more

This was honestly a really unprofessional place. Maria promised me to do a work took almost 3 weeks for simple work. Every time she would tell me a date she would push it for the next week. Took 3 weeks later Her attitude is terrible doesn't value you as a customer, her work is great but don't depend on her if it a timely matter charges me double! Not even discount for the inconvenience read more

She was wonderful. Fixed a zipper on an old jacket, that was important for sentimental reasons.

Great seamstress, works very hard, and is always willing to help to meet your deadline! I've gone to her for over 5 years.

Excellent service, great price, and work done as requested on some suit pants that needed hemming

I took my dress for dry cleaning and they just ironed it, when I showed all the dirty spots the guy got very upset and almost kicked me out of the place. The only good thing is that I didn't get charged for the horrible service read more

Love Maria's tailoring! I brought in a pair of pants to get a hem fixed and they were ready the next day. The pants came back almost brand new, but I have been wearing them with the seams ripped out. For the price, def over the top service and much appreciated read more

They did a great job. The turnaround time was quick. They all were friendly. I also needed some of the tailoring done quickly and they accommodating. read more

Don't go here if you want your service done in a timely matter. On multiple occasions, I have dropped clothes off and given a specific timeline and we have agreed on a specific day for pick up. When I arrived on the agreed-upon date, the clothes were not ready. I had to go back to the store multiple times because I never received any updates and every time I showed up, there would still be a delay. I ended up waiting weeks for a service that was agreed to be completed in a few days. On another occasion, I had a black tie event that I needed a dress altered for. I was flying out and we agreed that I would pick up my dress the day before. The dress had not even been touched when I arrived. I ended up having to take back the dress on tailored And wear a different dress to the occasion. So if you have absolutely all the time in the world, feel free to come here for your tailoring. If you have any urgency, I suggest you go elsewhere. read more

I needed my pants hem ASAP , and Maria answered right away she said she was able to get it to me by the end of the day. She was so sweet and kind and professional. I got my my pants hem before my trip. Definitely will come back to her! read more

Marie's Tailoring is amazing. She's professional, detail-oriented, and delivers high-quality work. My clothes fit perfectly. Highly recommend her services read more

she is amazing and has everything done so quickly! she has tailored business pants, jumpsuits, and rompers for me. I always come back

Maria is incredibly quick with my items and very reasonably priced. She was able to take in 4 garments and have them ready by end of week. I will definitely be visiting Maria again read more

Took my daughter's dress in to be altered. Maria was very helpful and pleasant. The dress came out perfectly. We will be returning for any future needs. read more

This is my go-to place for all my tailoring. Been going to her for over a year and have zero complaints. Her place is in a shopping center. It's a small shop but good things come in small packages (no girlfriend of mine has ever said that). Anyway, Maria is very personable and greets you with a smile. She knows her craft and it shows. I've been in for jeans, slacks and jackets/coats, and the work is always done as requested. My only complaint would be that it does take her some time, because she's busy, but it's well worth the wait. Also, she's now hired some help to ease wait times. Go see Maria when you need something tailored. You won't regret it! read more

I'm so sad I didn't find Maria sooner! She can tailor anything! I have a dress from the 70s that I needed to extend on the waist. I didn't think it could be done seamlessly considering the fabric of my dress, but she blended the new fabric into it very nicely. She also hemmed some shorts for me (also vintage and a very different type of fabric), and she hemmed two ranch pants for me. Everything I took to her was tailored to perfection. I highly recommend her. I will be going to her firm now on. read more

Very helpful, quick turnaround. Came back a second time for an emergency fix before my daughters prom, Maria was so helpful and willing to stay to get the job done so that the dance would be a success. Thank you! read more

I randomly passed by this place driving home from the grocery store and I'm glad I did! I've never had anything tailored because I thought it was too costly, however I got a pair of pants altered here for less than $20. The two people working were very kind professional and efficient :) read more

Oh yelpers... I was really expecting 5 stars from all these raving reviews, but I can't give this experience a rave review. Why? Well, each time I expected my alteration to be ready, my item isn't ready . I dropped off a coat last week, Thursday, was promised the coat on a Monday. I even told her more time would be acceptable since I knew the alteration was complicated. She assured me, Monday afternoon. I skipped going on Monday just in case she needed more time, and late Monday night I get a text message reminding me to pick up my jacket (see photo). So when I arrive at noon on Tuesday, guess what?? she told me it wasn't ready, and she was just working on it. What the heck?? I asked why did she text me if the jacket had not been worked on yet. She did not have an answer except it would be ready tomorrow, Wednesday. Wednesday (today) I show up and guess what? she looks surprised to see me. I'm not sure why but she says she thought I would be back Thursday. By now I'm frustrated. I told her I'm coming back not Thursday but FRIDAY -- and that should be more than enough time for my coat. IF it's not ready, she needs to text or call me. I'm coming back Friday... But right now it's barely a 2 star experience. Will update on Friday (if it's even ready). Opened weekdays 9-7, Saturday 10-5, closed Sunday. Located just south of the 22 freeway off Tustin Avenue, in a nondescript strip mall with a Yum Yum donuts and a Back to Life chiropractic place is this tiny tailoring store. Both the strip mall and the store is so nondescript, you most likely may have driven right by it, and didn't even know. UPDATE: I arrived on Friday at 12:30 PM, and my coat and the pants were ready. The total for altering a lined overcoat ($45) plus 4 hems ($6) was $69 but for my troubles she gave me a 10% discount, which came to $62. I didn't tip. Coat was done very well. I haven't tried the pants, but it seems ok.. No loose threads or off colors. For now, 2 stars still stands because of the mis-promised, and a small 10% off for my troubles. One time error is ok, but making me come back 3x in a week is unacceptable. I may come back to hem some work dresses... And will adjust my review accordingly. read more

Maria personally helped me out and did my alterations while I waited. This is the best customer service from a small family owned shop! Come here for anything you need! read more

The owner Guillermina is great at what she does!! Guillermina and her team are equipped to satisfy your family's tailoring needs. I've been coming to her for the past 5 years and could not be more thrilled that I have found someone reliable!!! Thank you!!! read more

I stumbled across Maria's Tailoring after my go to place was closed. I dropped off my dress and they were super attentive in making sure I liked the new length and how it was going to be taken in. A week later it was ready and they did such an amazing job for only $45!!! This is my new go to place and I'll be recommending it to everyone! read more

I was referred to Maria's Tailoring by a dry cleaning business in my neighborhood because they couldn't perform the alterations I needed. I am so glad that they did. Since my first visit to Maria's, I have repeatedly returned to have her perform work on everything from uniforms, suits, dress shirts, and even athletic wear. Every single time she has exceeded my expectations for quality, service, and price. As someone who has trouble buying things that fit properly off the rack, a place like Maria's with their level of expertise is such a blessing. If you need some quality tailoring done, look no further. Also, they accept Apple Pay which to me is a huge benefit. read more

Quick, affordable and amazing customer service. I definitely will be coming back for any other alterations. Thank you!

Gave it 3 but honestly she never had the work done when it's suppose to be. Also charges a lot for very simple things. I come in a Friday and say Tuesday or Wednesday and she says Thursday and come and still not done. I want to support a small female biz but the lack of effort or honesty is too much read more

This was the worst experience I ever had with a tailor. Brought in a jacket to be shortened and sleeves hemmed. Maria convinced me to hem the bottom instead since it would save time and only have to fix the zipper on the bottom, ready in a week. I show up a week later and she tells me she was busy, come back tomorrow, they open at 7. I got there at 8am, no one. Drive around to do some errands and still see they are closed so got gas. Maria now texts it will be ready at noon, giving me an open window to pick it up since they close at 1pm. I get there in time but notice an issue with the collar. Double checked the original image of the jacket and she took the zipper and ended it at the neck instead of all the way to the top. I call Maria to let her know and she argues with me and tells me to bring proof that it went all the way up. I did and now she tells me it will be another week to order the zipper she messed up. I pick it up and explain issues we had and now she corrects me again about what I asked her to do and I said I only wanted it shortened, but she took out some of the body too. I wasted money, gas, time and honestly even writing this feels like a waste, but hoping it will save someone else the burden. read more

Went to her to fix a cosplay of mine a week before a convention back in January. Was still working on it as I arrived but did a great job in altering on time for me. read more

I found Maria's tailoring through Yelp and I am extremely happy and pleased I found her and that she was available to fix a bridesmaid dress. Before driving to her store, I called her to confirm her availability, when I arrived she was waiting for me. Her measuring and tailoring was outstandingly professional. I love how she appreciates her team's work. Reasonable price and the dress was ready on time. Mil gracias María! read more

Maria's should be your go to place for all of your tailoring needs. I've had multiple garments tailored by her and they have all come out exceptional. She even was able to add pockets to two of my dresses! Very sweet, great quality of work, and fair prices. You won't be disappointed read more

Maria is the best! Her work comes out amazing and she works quickly! Definitely recommend her!

The worst experience ever !! Maria " Guillermina " She is an absolute nightmare to deal with ! She is Rude , Moody , Irrational, Disrespectful, Inconsistent, Doesn't keep her words for work for when being done, Change labor costs when she feels like it for the same job when already set up a price list she made , Yelled at customers, Completely disorganized, Doesn't keep her schedule on time, Make you travel for nothing, Keep on rescheduling picks up when your on your way or when you are already at her store , Doesn't apologize truly, Damage products instead of telling she doesn't want to do it anymore, Viciously done ,make you loose money , time and energy, Gave appointments for delivery over and over , never showed up the day she says or the time she says , Doesn't answer phone calls and texts for updates on missed appointments. Stay away from her business when you need a professional and consistent work to be done . read more

Excellent. I found my new go to tailor. The lady who altered my dress (I didn't get her name, unfortunately) is excellent at what she does. My original go to place used to be OH, but their service and communication has gone downhill since I first started going there and when I got lectured by them for their mistake, enough was enough. They're open on Saturdays and so I figured I would try this new place out because most places close by the time I'm off on weekdays and are also closed on weekends. This place is open until 7 pm weekdays and open on Saturdays (not sure about Sundays). I dropped by and tried my dress on. I mentioned that I wanted to shorten it a bit, but didn't mention anything else. She immediately went to the shoulder straps of the dress and shortened them too, noticing how they were also too long for my petite frame. I know it's probably not a big deal, but I was impressed she caught on before I said anything. She charged me $16 for everything and said it'd be ready on Monday. Price is a factor for me to consider. When I search reviews on Yelp, I try to look for reviews that give me an idea of how much I'll be paying. After trying places that I felt were too pricey for me to afford for all my tailoring needs, I am finally glad to be able to say I found the one I'll be making my permanent pick. Fast forward to Monday, I picked it up and the quality was impeccable. I still can't even tell any work was done. There's no loose threads or weird stitches like OH left on my clothes. Also important to note that she is a very sweet and helpful lady. When I asked for her opinion, she gave it to me honestly. When I called before her business was open and got no answer, I just forgot about it. She actually called me back, which is what got me to try her business out too. Needless to say, the customer service is great here. One thing to mention is it's cash or check only. No credit cards accepted as of now. Quality, price, service... she's got it all. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. read more
