    She did a beautiful job repairing my ripped coat! It was shredded and now you can't even tell where the rip was. Highly recommend!

    The go-to tailor in Montecito. Great work, great attention to detail, and the turn around time was quick. Thank you Nelly!!!

    I needed to get haute couture measurements, and didn't want to fly to Paris or NY just to get measurements.

    First off, I love that Kim's Tailoring is open until 7 pm and you can bring in a pair of pants for…read morehemming after work. Usually, you're rushing to get to the tailor early in the morning and this feels so much more humane. First, you go into the little dressing room that's plopped into the front of the shop and Kim pulls out a 2x2 boxed step in front of a mirror. You step up and Kim pins your pants. You approve the length as you watch in the mirror and then change out of the pants. At the counter, she asks when you want the pants... I picked 2 days later and it was no problem. Two days and $20 later, I swung by again just before 7 and left with the hemmed pants. Kim's is super convenient for me. She's also a fine seamstress, having done a wonderful job on a tricky hem that has a zipper down the outside of each leg. She had a clever solution that cut the zippers (in order to hem the pants) but retained the integrity of the zippers. I took away one star because the little dressing room's floor is always filthy with fibers, hair, clothes tags, and loose straight pins. Be careful not to step on a straight pin when you're in your stocking feet changing pants.

    Kim literally saved my wedding! I had alterations done by the same shop I bought my dress from. The…read moreretail team was great so I will not mention the shop in a negative way, but they did not do great on the alterations. I did negotiate a discounted cost to the alterations. But it still should have had top notch alterations that really brought out my body features. It did not. The day before the wedding, the dress could not zip at all. She assumed I would lose 2 inches in water weight. Not the case. The dress also just fell down my body rather than hugging my his and accentuating my curves. Kim fixed everything in less than a day. She took the dress out and created amazing curves with the dress! I felt so beautiful. Thank you so much Kim! She also hemmed my husbands jacket for the wedding for a very reasonable price. Other tailors in town quotes him 4 times the cost! Ridiculous. Thank you again Kim. We will be going to you for everything.
