    Our brand new jacket was destroyed at the cuffs when asking for a length reduction. The sleeves remained the same length as before, with half of the cuff of each sleeve completely a mess and uneven. When confronted, the owner lashed back making remarks like "Don't you know how difficult this was to do" and "hmm I shortened it, but I don't know why this cuff is the same length?" And the audacity to have a disgruntled glare as if bringing up the quality of work was unnecessarily nitpicking. $35 was refunded but it really should have been the cost of the jacket. Extremely unfortunate circumstances. Highly discourage coming here unless you want your clothes ruined.

    Suzie is absolutely amazing! For the past 25 years, I've trusted her with all my special occasion dress alterations. She expertly manages expensive gowns made from intricate and delicate fabrics. Truly a professional!! Thank you Suzie!

    Suzie is the best! She is sweet and always does the very best quality work! Great value as well! Quick turnaround!

    Thank you, Suzie!!

    I needed an emergency alteration one week before my wedding and Suzie saved the day! She fixed an area on my dress that my previous bridal alterations lady didn't have the skills for. Suzie was quick and dependable. I can't thank her enough for turning a very stressful situation into a pleasant one.

    I've used Song's Alterations previously for other dresses and scrubs for work and I have always been impressed by the attention to detail, quality of work, and reasonable prices here. When I needed alterations done on my wedding dress and two of my bridesmaids dresses, I knew I had come back to Song's! Suzie did such a terrific job on all our dresses. On my wedding dress, I had the straps shortened, dress tightened at the hips, and five bustles put in! I loved how it all turned out. She did a great job at the bridesmaids dresses as well. I would highly recommend Song's for your future alteration needs!

    The most lovely Korean grandma! I came here by recommendation from my cousin to get my wedding dress and 2 BM dresses altered. She is super sweet and got my wedding dress done just in time even tho I'm sure she was swamped. The alterations were done perfectly and I couldn't be happier with the work and the way my dress looked.

    Suzie is the absolute best and so talented. I'm a pretty picky customer especially since most of my dresses, I ask for more than just an alteration. For every dress I've requested sleeves and she takes what I say and makes it better. I get all my dresses from windsor, so these are long formal dresses that I couldn't wear just anywhere, but Suzie works her magic and they transform into cocktail dresses. See my pictures attached to see Suzie's wonderful work. I've been coming here since 2019 and will continue to be a loyal customer.

    This is a hidden gem. I had take out from and noticed this place. I had to alter a clothing item in a hurry and the owner was so accommodating and did an awesome job. The price seems very reasonable. I had already dropped another item to get it fixed.. so glad I found this place.

    After - Just stunning! She brought the bottom of the dress up for a perfect seamless finish!

    My husband has an older tuxedo, and Suzie was able to modernize it with some fine tuning/slimming of the pant legs.

    Style Today was recommended by one of my favorite men's clothing stores. I bought a jacket and…read morepants I really liked - but nobody makes a suit that fits me off the rack. The clothes were nice and I wanted to look my best. I gave Style Today a try and the work was just perfect. Since then I have probably gone back a dozen times mostly hemming pants and shortening jacket sleeves. During my visits I've noticed numerous men and women with all kinds of clothing getting fitted - and never heard a complaint. I'm picky about clothes. I'm not anywhere near fashionable or stylish. But I like what I wear to fit well. It's a lovely little shop. Tina the owner and the other tailors and seamstresses are all working right there. They are open Tuesday through Saturday. They do excellent work. I've never needed anything in a rush - but have heard other people needing work turned around overnight or within a day and it sounds like they do their best to deliver. Oh - and Tina has a great eye: where sleeves should fall. Pants should be hemmed. Trust her judgement. I don't have the best eye for color and she helps me know what color shirts to buy. Sometimes I wish I could just take her shopping with me so I could pick out the best fits and fabrics and styles for her to make comfortable and attractive right from the beginning. Last time there was a customer wanting a total reworking of a jacket she had owned for several years and I watched as Tina explained what to do with the length, the sleeves, the width at shoulders and the tummy. As she explained it you could almost see the redesigned jacket taking form - and you knew it was going to look exciting and new. Wish I could be there to see when she picks it up. Try Style Today. You'll go back.

    Best pricing I have found in OC for hems! As a short girl with short legs, I frequently need to…read moreget pants hemmed. Where I live in South OC, most places charge at least $15 per hem, which really adds up. This place did it for $4.50, or $9 for the wide legs. Well worth the drive! I dropped off seven pairs and it was less than $40. The only thing I would have liked they gave me more clarity about was to let me know when I called that wide legs would be more. But I think that is pretty standard practice, so I wasn't too mad. This place is kind of hard to find because it is so small. My navigation was telling me that I had arrived and I wasn't seeing it until I saw the small sign next to the dentist office. It was unclear on whether or not we could park in the small lot between this place and the apartment buildings, so to play it safe if I parked across the street by the supermarket, which I really enjoyed visiting after. We don't have a lot of Mexican supermarkets in South OC where I live, so it was fun to pick up some things from there and made the drive out more worth it as well. Turnover time was great as well. I can't comment on more difficult or involved jobs because I didn't use them for that, but I highly recommend coming here for hems.

    Golden Stitch - Quilt square at our baby shower before Nicole did the industrial press and added initials

    This is a long overdue review! I first reached out to The Golden Stitch on Yelp in October 2025. I…read morewas starting to plan my baby shower and had a crazy idea. I wanted guests to design individual quilt squares at the shower and have them sewn together afterwards. The idea originally came up online and suggested having people use fabric markers or puffy paint. Since I have a cricut, I immediately thought the idea would work well with HTV decals. However, I quickly realized cutting and weeding enough decals was going to be a nightmare, and they were unlikely to hold up well over time. This was when I turned to Yelp. I started searching for anywhere that did custom designs on clothing, thinking this would be the best lead. The Golden Stitch came up, and I sent the same message I was sending a bunch of other businesses. Very quickly, I got a response from Nicole. At that point, I wasn't sure we would be using her services. She was still incredibly helpful in giving advice on other items involved in the project, specifically things to look for when choosing fabric. Much to my surprise, she let me know she had done HTV decals for onesies for her friend's baby shower! I ended up going down in person to see samples of the onesies and discuss more details about how to make this idea come to life. She was incredibly knowledgable and very transparent about the pitfalls of some things I suggested and pricing of what I was looking for. By the time I left, I knew what to buy for fabric and what kind of art could and couldn't be printed at the price I could afford. Unfortunately, it did take me a while to find some art packages on Etsy to purchase and I was slow to come back and send her what I wanted. Nicole was incredibly understanding and still did her best to accommodate me and make sure I had the decals in time for the baby shower. She even went through and sized each piece of artwork to fit well on the square size we were using. Despite the time crunch I created, she got the sheets of HTV decals to me before the baby shower. My mother in law, my husband and I spent time sitting together and cutting them apart. Nicole even explained to me how to use my cricut heat press to secure the decals at the shower. After the shower, she was able to put them through her industrial press to help ensure they last along time. When I came back to ask her to press the squares, we discussed how to identify who did what square. This was something I hadn't considered when people were designing their squares. At this point, I been messaging and working with Nicole for several months and I now had a newborn at home. She was super helpful in suggesting how to add initials and/or names to the squares. I was overwhelmed and not giving much direction. Nicole was, again, so quick to get them pressed and add names/initials. What really made it special was the time she and her fiancé took to place the names and initials creatively. She also helped us design the center square with our son's full name, date of birth, and birth stats. My mom has been sewing the squares and the quilt is now almost completed. This keepsake would have been just a sad-could-have-been memory without Nicole. Now our son will have a custom quilt from everyone who came to celebrate him at the baby shower. I'm so grateful for Nicole's wonderful services, but also her compassion and patience. This project is so special to our little family and wouldn't have been possible without her.

I had a one-of-a-kind jersey that I wanted turned into a dress because it was huge. I showed the man a video of exactly what I wanted him to do with this jersey and how to turn it into a dress. All he had to do was cut the sleeves off so up the side and then reattach the sleeve. When I came in to pick it up, the sleeves were not cut, they're two different sizes, the neckline wasn't cut to size and I looked like the background dancers in the goofy movie with the broad shoulders. There's so much bunching in the top since I have smaller breast and I pointed that out on Monday and he just kept repeating "I cut where I pin" anyone can do that. So since he was only going to cut what he pins, which was not our initial discussion, I took the time to explain. Show him the video again. I made it a point to make sure that he was going to be able to do this the way that I wanted before dropping it off because I would've spent more time looking for places that were capable of following instructions. Thankfully, I recorded our conversation and reported it to the Better Business Bureau. They just kept repeating the same sentence over and over again to the point where I started yelling over them and they started calling me crazy because I didn't want them to "fix anything" and I wanted a refund. Still have a destroyed unwearable jersey and no refund.
