She is so kind and knew exactly what my dress needed. Reasonable prices and I will definitely use her again!

Came here after getting quite a few quotes in the area for a hem and shoulder adjustment/alteration for a bridesmaid dress. Over messages I was given a rough estimate of $40 for the hem and $20 for a shoulder take in, which was lower than the quotes I was receiving from other places. When I came in, my total to be paid at pick up was at $110. $90 for the hem, $20 for the shoulder. Of course, a quote is dependent on material, difficulty, etc., so I did not complain, but quote versus actual prices ended up being almost double. For a satin, a-line, unlined dress, this price was higher than what any from my group of bridesmaid with the same dress paid at other places. When I came in to pay and receive the dress she again upped the price by $5, making my total $115, which I found out after, was not the price given on my receipt when the dress was dropped off ($110) The actual work was fine and did the job, and the shop owner was very nice, but I do not think I would return here after my own personal experience. read more

I brought my wedding dress here for alterations. Maureen already knew what needed to be done just by looking at it on me, but she still listened to my requests and concerns, she was very nice, attentive and understanding. Maureen is very skilled in her work. She took in some inches around my bust and added a bustle for the long train on my dress. Her prices are fair and affordable, and she has a quick turn around time for alterations! For my wedding dress, she had it ready in 2 weeks. My wedding dress zipper kept getting stuck even though tried to adjust it, so she replaced the whole zipper entirely, and it was perfect! I also brought my reception dress here for alterations as well. After my wedding, I brought both dresses and my veil back for dry cleaning, and she had it ready for pick up in 3 days. I will definitely recommend her to everyone I know. She did a wonderful job!! read more

I purchased a dress and it was too tight on the sides...I went to several alteration shops and they all said they could not help me. I went to Maureen's and BABY...she did an awesome job. She was also EXTREMELY kind and professional. She now has a forever customer. Thank you very much!!! read more

I needed to get 3 pairs of jeans hemmed. I tried Maureen's Alterations since it was near my place and it got so many positive reviews. I was so impressed- Maureen is a sweet woman, she quickly measured me in all 3 of my pants and I was out within 10 minutes (probably less). I wasn't in a rush to get them back but she gave me a 2 day window and my pants were ready. I have more pants to get hemmed and will be taking them back to her. read more

Absolutely in love with this shop! She helped me with opening up and loosening up a dress that was only an inch away from completely fitting me because my rib cage was too wide. I finally can fit the dress of my dreams for my courthouse wedding and the price was affordable too! 10 out of 10 would recommend and definitely will be coming back for any of my alteration needs. read more

Located off of Sartori in Torrance (Old Torrance). Street Parking is shared among all the businesses and they also have a parking garage right next to this place as well. I came here to have my pants waist adjusted since Lululemon doesn't do waist alterations I looked for places near by me and found Maureen's with most positive reviews I came here. The lady who help me was very nice took my measurements and told me when to come pick them up. The fit was perfect around my waist. Overall very happy with the service I will come back if I need anymore waist alterations of pants. read more

She was great she all to the bridesmaids just for me. She was very nice . If you need alterations, you should go there.. read more

The lady who runs this business is very sweet and no issues with the dry cleaning. But I have had several alteration issues with things I have taken to her. Poorly hemmed or stitched, or incorrectly taken up. Maybe in the past it was better but I would not recommend this place for alterations. I've made a mistake one too many times taking things there. read more

Maureen's alterations is very friendly and accommodating. She was very quick to mend and the price was very affordable.

I needed a quick same day alteration of 2 pants. After calling about 6-7 tailors and cleaners who said they couldn't do same day alterations, I called Maureen who said she could do it the same day. I arrived at her humble shop, she measured me and said she would have it done in 10 minutes! I paid $29 for the 2 pants! She's in old Torrance and I only wish I lived closer to her shop. read more

I needed my pants tailored and found this place down the street from my house--it was a blessing. The service was professional, with same-day readiness, and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely continue to come here. read more

Had a suit altered, pants hemmed and sleeves shortened, did quality work and liked that I could also get suit and shirt dry cleaned. Fairly priced read more

The absolute best seamstress! I can tell she's been doing this for a long time, with her precision and attention to detail. I brought in a Moncler vest to alter (was too small, needed it a size up), and she was able to produce the results I wanted! Other tailors would've been very weary of this project due to its difficulty. Highly recommend Maureen! read more

I needed to have a button reattached and I was in and out in probably 3 minutes. Price was super reasonable, only 2 dollars. She was sweet, and the environment was very peaceful. Will definitely consider her for alterations in the future. Thank you! read more

I needed something hemmed last-minute for a girls trip in two days and called Maureen to see if it could be done in a day. She was super accommodating and told me to bring it by. Once I arrived, we measured the length, and to my surprise, she told me to wait just 10 minutes--it would be done same day! I was blown away by how fast and professional she was. Highly recommend Maureen for her skill, speed, and amazing service! read more

Maureen is such a wonderful person and she is very professional and great at what she does. I was able to get my designer pants altered and she does offer same day tailoring when she has the time. It was a great experience and I am so happy to have found my tailor here in Torrance! read more

Called,stopped by, measured and waited 10 minutes for a pants hem. Very nice, expensive pants and they were done exactly as purchased, done professionally and proficiently.

Maureen is great! I've had 5 pants hemmed here so far, and she's very sweet and quick. I needed pants hemmed within 2 days so called to stop by. She told me she could hem them in 5 min, and she did right on the spot! read more

Was visiting from Sacramento and needed 4 pairs of denim jeans hemmed before I left. I came by on Saturday to drop off the jeans. After measuring the pants on me and my wife, she told us that it would be done the following Tuesday. I asked is there anyway it could be done sooner as I had to head back to Sacramento on Monday. She told us yes how about tomorrow / referring to the day after which would be Sunday. The next day I came on Sunday the place ended up being closed. No worries as we sometimes forget and knew I can have my buddy of mine pick it up and ship it to me. 1 week later after he ships out the pants, I receive 1 pair of pants that were not hemmed and also I am missing the pair of pants that she used as a reference. So I paid $15 for a pants to not be hemmed and now I'm lucked out and I'm missing a pair of pants. I'm also missing the back tag on one of my jeans which I do not know how. I really hate writing bad reviews but I'm a little upset. Super nice lady, it's just unfortunate that the services could not be done. read more

Excellent repair work! Had a jacket with a broken zipper that I thought I would have to trash. The seamstress on site fixed it in a jiffy, and it was good as new. Fair pricing and great service with a smile. Highly recommended! read more

Myung was very kind and quick in assessing and pinning my pants. I got 2 pairs of pants tailored and it was $50 total w tax. 1 pleated pair hemmed ($15) + inseam shortened ($10) and 1 pair with ankle drawstrings hemmed ($20). Unfortunately, I do not feel that the job justified the price due to uneven seams and noticeable differences in the previously new pants. There are misaligned side seams on both pants and the pleated pants have lost the pleats/texture at the bottom due to straight stitching along the now thicker hem allowance. The seam was previously just along the edge of the fabric. I am a bit upset with the pants and it has discouraged me from wanting to return for future alterations. Update: They were very gracious in offering to alter my pants again. The hem on the black pants was able to be reduced slightly which will help with retaining the pleats. The pink pants have more superficial issues so they remain mostly unchanged with the exception of realigning the seam on one leg. I appreciate that they responded to customer feedback. read more

Took in two jeans that needed to he hemmed and Maureen said she could have then done in 15 mins. It was almost closing time do I don't think she was too busy. She did an amazing job and I will definitely be taking my alterations there and recommending her to everyone i know. Such and sweet lady and you can tell she loves her craft! Thank you again!! read more

I took a new Alexander Wang sweater to Maureen, which had never been worn, thus, the price tag was still attached. As I removed the price tag (I admit, quite carelessly in my haste) I ripped the sleeve. It was an ugly rip and not on the seam. I was doubtful it could be repaired. To my utter surprise, not only did Maureen repair the sweater, however, if my life depended on it, I would not be able to find evidence of any repair whatsoever. She works in excellence, her prices are reasonable, and although I live in San Diego, I will continue to send my clothing to her when needed. Maureen is a gem and I strongly recommend her...you will not be disappointed! read more

Maureen was so kind & hemmed my pants and dress perfectly! Will be returning for any future alterations needed!

Maureen is the best! Sweet, attention to detail, accommodating. Called her an hour before closing if she could hem pants for a funeral I needed to attend the following morning. She said, no problem. I drove across town got to her shop a few minutes after her closing time, and there she was waiting for me. She quickly took measurements and then hemmed and pressed my pants in no time. She gave me a fair price too even though she stayed after hours. If you want great service go to Maureen's you won't be disappointed! read more

I can't recommend Maureen's Alterations enough. I found Maureen's on Yelp, and even though I live about 25 mins away I decided to make the trek based solely on Yelp reviews. What a great decision that was! I needed to get a bridesmaid's dress altered and she delivered. I even went back to get another dress altered- I was in a bind and needed it same-day and she was able to do it. Her prices are so fair and she does a great job. I will be going here for all my altering needs!! read more

Maureen is amazing! She's very sweet, listens to what you need, gets the work done quickly (and most importantly) does great work! I brought her some clothes (a bra, dress, top & nightgown) with a broken strap and she repaired all of them so well I couldn't even tell/remember which side she did. And all for $30? I'm sold-- and definitely will be returning for any alterations! read more
