I've asked him to fix the shoulder area because it was loose and doesn't feel secure. I also asked him to hem the dress to floor length. He did both of my requests perfectly!

She added an intricate bustle that contoured nicely, and added support to the bust of the dress so that it held up on its own when I chose to ditch the sleeves for the reception. Being small chested I've never had a dress hold up so securely - even through an entire night of dancing! And even though the dress was so durable, it was also still comfortable throughout the day.

I initially reached out for a consultation and chose to work with her because of her attention to detail, clear communication, and reasonable pricing. She altered my Kim Kassas gown for my civil ceremony, and I also wanted to customize it by adding a shawl. Nazila did an excellent job bringing my vision to life, the final result was exactly what I had hoped for. I'll be having a destination wedding for our larger celebration and would absolutely trust her again to alter my gown and reception dress. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Nazila was wonderful to work with! She actually helped me pick out my dress originally, and I was…read morethrilled to learn she also does alterations. Her attention to detail was exceptional. I had two dresses, and Nazila worked on alterations for both. She added beautiful lace appliqué to the waist of one dress and expertly created the bustle. Beyond the alterations themselves, Nazila gave me invaluable advice on dress care, even recommending a specific crochet needle to use for the buttons. The care she takes in her craft truly shows through, and I knew my wedding dresses were in safe and capable hands. I couldn't recommend Nazila more highly!

Her attention to detail and knowledge of fabric, cut and style is impeccable. If I need something to fit me like a glove, I do not go anywhere else. I trust her with my everyday items, casual, business, etc. i'm so thankful for the day my husband introduced me to her. Her boutique is quaint and pretty and has a curated selection of clothing and accessories from all over the world. She made me look beautiful on my wedding day and did a great job of altering my Anthropologie gown.

Wow! Thoroughly impressed by Jila's services. She altered 3 dresses from my bridal wardrobe:…read more 1. A flowy, ruffled colorful dress for my welcome party. She amended the waistband to be tighter and shortened the dress while maintaining the flow and comfort of the dress. 2. My after party dress had a beaded skirt and jila carefully shortened it. Fit perfectly. 3. Lastly, my Kim Kassas wedding dress!! Its ruffled mermaid tail is what made it beautiful. I plan to resell my dress and jila altered it so that if someone taller than me buys it, the stitching just needs to be snipped to get it back to the original length. It fit me like a glove. She did an amazing job and I'd highly recommend her to alter clothing for any special occasion!

He was able to use fabric from the underneath layer of the dress to create both so it looked like it was made to be that way. There were many details about the panel and the fabrication of the straps that made it high quality. The panel has a flap on the bottom that tucked into the waistline so it didn't show skin. He reinforced the straps with heavier duty material inside to make them more sturdy. The dress was a little too small and he also found a solution to make it fit because we couldn't get the next size larger in time.

Every single item was treated with the utmost care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Joseph, the owner, truly makes this place special. He is such a warm, kind person and someone you genuinely feel good about supporting. You can tell he loves what he does. He takes the time to get to know his clients (and even their dog, in our case!), which makes the experience feel personal and memorable. After cleaning the items, Joseph personally called me to let me know they were ready, which I really appreciated. When I picked them up, I was blown away, everything was cleaned to absolute perfection. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your most meaningful and delicate garments, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend!

Inconsistent pricing. Brought two pairs of jeans in- both needed 1/2 inch taken off the bottom…read more First pair I dropped off 2/9 and was charged $32 for original hem. Second pair I just picked up 3/5 and was charged $48 for original hem 1/2 inch. I said I was charged $32 my first time and immediately the man jumped down my throat that they never charge $32. Well, overall both prices are steep given... also here is proof you charged me $32 and then $48 However they did fit me in, and finished the work timely. I was just a bit upset about the change in price given my first purchase.

I didn't receive any info about when to expect them, how much it would cost or even their business card/name. That was my fault, as well, since I didn't ask for a receipt or any other paperwork. So, after a few days, I went back and sure enough they remembered me and my brown pants which were accurately shortened at a reasonable price. They did need a cleaning, though. Perhaps they have that all worked out by now. I would recommend them, with that info in mind.

This review is long overdue. I held off on writing this because I was still going there and didn't…read morewant them messing with my things if they stumbled up on this. The quality and service and customer service all went downhill with the new management. One event that I remember was I called them on a Saturday to complain about white stains on my items that I just picked up. It only shows up on the black clothing of course. The lady who answered the phone was rude and put me on hold. I waited on the phone at first for 10 min then it last up to close to an hour!! I hung up, and called back again an hour later. This lady kept the phone off the hook. lol I called all day until before closing and phone was still off the hook. I told myself I wouldn't go back. However, I did go back. Yet again, when I picked up my items, white mark or whatever it is on my black clothes. I told the lady who was there one day and she took it and idk what she tried to do but it was there or she prayed and wiped with water which is what I do myself. Why are there white marks on my clothing after getting dry cleaned?? This never happened before with the previous owners. Next incident was when I came in the afternoon to bring in a paper of pants to get hemmed. Mind you, I come from Vallejo just to come all the way here cause it's the only place I know. I get there and the lady at the front attempts to take the measurements and she had no idea what she was doing. From the way she was folding the pants, to it being an uneven fold. It was a frustrating experience. I told her I'll come back a different day. She said she was just helping out because the person that normally does it, wasn't in. Ummm, maybe have someone there all the time who does this? People go out of their way to come here or put a sign when hemming person will be in! That was the last straw and never again. Luckily I tried a new place by my house and so far so good. Crossing fingers.
