    I received my wedding dress a week before my wedding and I searched for someone to do alterations close by that had good reviews. I took my dress to Relai and she said she'd have everything done within 3 days for $80 to alter the shoulders, length, chest and and raise the slit and move the lace pieces over. She was very slammed with other rush jobs but had no problem kindly taking my dress too, that being the only reason it had taken the 3 days which was completely fine. The dress had three layers and a huge flower lace detail right where I wanted the slit raised. She did an incredible job and was so so sweet. I'd highly recommend her to anyone. We're moving back to the Sacramento area, and I know if I ever needed alterations again, I'd drive back to her.

    I had my dress tailored, but I didn't absolutely love it. I brought it to Relai the weekend before the wedding and she fixed it exactly how I wanted it in one day. She's the absolute best! Thank you so much!

    Friendly staff, reasonable turn around and price is good. She will do original hem on jeans for around $15, this is hard to find.

    Been taking my pants to Relai's for hemming. It was affordable, about $13 bucks for each pair.

During the agreed pick up time , another customer and I went to pick up our South Asian clothing and was frustrated that we came 10-15 minutes earlier than the final pick up time. Once the other customer with me told her she was no longer interested in giving her anymore business she replies " No education" then the customer in confusion questions her and says " You're saying I have no education? " and Ana replies " Yes you have no education" Ana clearly does not value her customers and discriminates against them.

Ana clearly is very ungrateful and does not care about her business at all!!!

    My best friend's son's wedding was coming up and the attire was cocktail so I needed to find a…read morespecial dress for the occasion. I found one online that I liked, but it was on clearance (nonreturnable) and only one size was available. It had been a long time since I bought a cocktail dress so I wasn't really sure what size I wore, but thought it would work. I was very disappointed when I tried it on because it was way too big and made me look like a dumpy old lady. I hoped I could get it altered, but the only dressmaker I knew was far too busy due to bridal season. Yelp to the rescue! I chose Mila based on her positive reviews and I'm so glad I did. I immediately felt comfortable with her and was confident she would be able to make the necessary adjustments, even though they were not exactly straightforward. The waist needed to be taken in and lifted, the tank style lace shoulder straps shortening, and I didn't want to lose the pockets, which made it more complicated. Mila said she could complete it in two weeks and the quote was very reasonable. When I returned to pick it up I put the dress on and I was completely blown away by what a great job she did! I loved the dress as it was now very flattering and accentuated my shape. I highly recommend Mila for her kindness, professionalism, and--most of all--expertise in her craft!

    It has taken me a long time to leave this review because I was so conflicted. Mila is very sweet…read moreand professional and her home is comfortable spotless; however, I did not have a good experience with having my mother of the bride dress made. She was recommended to me by Britex in SF where I got my absolutely stunning beaded fabric as well as some silk materialthat matched perfectly. Unfortunately, she was already a long distance away from my home. I had no idea at the time I would need to make as many trips to her house as I did. I think at least 4 or 5 of these trips were unnecessary. It should have taken 3 - 4 only. She suggested I change the neckline from a square or scoop to one where she would place fabric at an angle through the décolletage of my chest. At the event, people told me they did not like that aspect of the dress at all, and that it took away from the design. I have a nice chest, but this change took my dress from matronly to old maid. It was odd and unflattering. I brought her very sturdy zipper from ETSY online. She refused to use it. She installed a small, slender zipper. At the event, my dress got stuck and wasn't zipping properly. I had noticed this problem at her house despite not having gained weight. She didn't want to address the issue and downplayed it. On the day of my daughter's wedding, the dress woukd not zip. No one was available to help me because they were all getting ready. It was extremely stressful and I was very lucky my dress didn't break. The mother of the groom had to come in and try and help me with the dress even though she was trying to get ready too. This was all completely unavoidable. The dress had a flaw in the design that should have been addressed, considering it was completely custom, and the proper heavier duty zipper should have been used. I ended up having to take the dress back to Mila after the event so that she could install a better zipper for future use. .But this wasn't the only issue. She insisted on dry-cleaning the silk. I suggested it wasn't a good idea at the spots, she was seeing were very small and hard to notice. Her dry cleaner ruined my material and we had to spend a considerable amount of time looking for new material that matched The new material didn't match the shoes that I had and, at the last minute after picking the material, I had to start looking for shoes all over again. This became costly because I had order more than one pair to make sure they matched the dress. She paid for the new fabric but it wasn't as expensive as the fabric.I had purchased from Britex. I of course, didn't get the difference in cost and there was not one scrap of that material left over when she was done with my dress. There would have been material left over from the silk that was ruined. We were now running out of time despite starting the process very early. She also wanted to go over on the price that we had agreed on. I did not like that at all because I was already being put out by all these issues and it's not like when she was charging me in the first place was cheap! I woukd not agree so, In the end, she charged me so much for trips to the fabric stores and dry cleaners that it ended up being the higher price she wanted to charge me. I'm assume that when she went to the fabric stores, she was also shopping for other people. It would then stand to reason that she charged all of us for the same trips. There were other issues when it came to the dress, such as length, that she wanted to change. It was awkward trying to convince her that, if i'm paying that much for a dress, I should get the dress I wanted and not the dress she wanted for me. Mila's tastes run very conservative. I i had a picture for the exact design and had already purchased all the fabric. If the process had included her purchasing all materials and designing the dress from scratc, I might have felt differently. I appreciated her opinions, but when they conflicted with mine, I didn't want to have to convince her of my feelings, because it was a very special, once in a lifetime event and I had nearly sixty years experience wearing clothing. In the end, if I had this to do all over again, I would not have chosen Mila. When I added up just the commute time to her home, it was well over 20 hours of my time. Adding in time shopping for new fabric and new shoes adds at least another 10 hours. I cannot recommend Mila except for small projects, I also would say that a client should get a hard/firm cost quote in writing - including exactly what she's going to charge you for any other trips. Hundreds of dollars of surprise costs in the end are not okay when you're already spending this much.

She did an EXCELLENT job, in a very short amount of time. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is wonderful to work with! I enjoyed the experience and I LOVE my dress!

She didn't pressure me to go with her, made me feel comfortable and said she would be able to fit me in just in time for my wedding. My first fitting was such a positive experience! She is incredibly bright and insanely talented. She is friendly and personable. When I went to the second fitting to pick up my dress, I was truly stunned. I have never used the word "snatched" before, but she made me look "snatched". I never wanted to take my gown off. She transformed it into a work of art. My mom needed help when steaming my dress on the day of my wedding, and I didn't know what to do. I gave her my phone and had her call Carole.
