    I walked into Tailor it! on Telegraph Avenue with a problem jackets in hand: a velvet dinner jacket whose sleeves swallowed my hands. Gabriel greeted me, ran a practiced finger along the shoulder crown, and immediately said, "We'll shorten from here--keep the original cuff, preserve the drape." Five minutes in and he'd mapped the solution no one else had offered. Results: * Crown-shortening kept jacket's functional cuffs intact and the silhouette balanced. * Velvet perfection: pile untouched, grain still rich--impossible to see it had ever been altered. * Transparent pricing & quick turnaround: no surprises, just sharp work delivered on time. What sets Gabriel apart is his deep grasp of garment construction. He doesn't just pin and chop; he explains the why behind each stitch, giving you total confidence in the outcome. If you're serious about fit--or simply want your clothes treated with respect--Tailor it! is the Bay Area gold standard. Five enthusiastic stars.

    Great work on my suit! Just had my wedding and received lots of compliments on the suit fit.

    I have been to Gabriel's shop several times for men's pants, shirt and a suit. He has a great eye and does great work. Highly recommend.

    Disaster. Waited 4 weeks for an appointment at this place. Told the tailor exactly what we needed…read moreover the phone - a dress needed to be tailored to fit. Gave her the brand, size, etc. she quoted us $160. Steep, but reasonable given the quality of the dress. She took measurements. After the fitting, she told us the cost would be $400. $400 to tailor a dress?!? That's more than most dresses cost. Why? She said, "wedding dresses cost more." We explained that it wasn't a wedding dress (I'm already married!). But she wouldn't change the price. It felt strange and uncomfortable and kind of awful to be called a liar. Walked out and found another tailor who did an epic job for $120. Went to the party (NOT A WEDDING) and felt fabulous. Skip this place. p.s. Apparently this owner gaslights customers. To clarify: 1. I definitely called in advance, 2. I was definitely overcharged, 3. It was definitely Lily from Irena's studio. Not confused, and not a mistake. Avoid avoid avoid.

    Irena's Studio is a gem!!! I was initially hesitant to trust someone in general with something as…read moreimportant as my wedding dress, but Lily (the owner) did an amazing job and knew exactly what alterations would flatter my body. During our first meeting, Lily was thorough, clear, and explained each recommendation and steps of the alteration process. I loved how for each visit, Lily took a step by step approach to alter my dress so that she could confirm that I was happy before moving forward to other aspects. I also appreciated that if I had a recommendation or question, Lily really listened and did not make me feel rushed during my appointment. I received so many compliments on my dress during the wedding and my photos came out so good as well. I'm so grateful for Lilys expertise and would highly recommend her!

    I can't say enough amazing things about Ms. Louise! I was referred to her through my cousin, who…read morewas getting married in Europe back in December, and I was a bridesmaid. When I got my dress, it was entirely too small and I was in full panic mode. Ms. Louise was upfront about what she could and couldn't do, which I really appreciated. She ended up opening the dress and adding fabric to the side panels so it fit my hips comfortably--and somehow made it even more beautiful than before! She did all of this within about a month while also working on my cousin's (the bride's) dress. On top of that, she altered a second dress for my reception at the last minute and had it ready in less than a week. I was able to pick everything up just in time before my flight the day after Christmas. Truly a lifesaver! Ms. Louise is the best--so talented, professional, and reliable. I'm beyond grateful and can't thank her enough! Highly recommend!

Like most brides, I lost weight due to stress throughout all the fittings. She graciously resized the dress each time, even adding a band to help tighten it just in case! I also requested the sleeves be layered to be a certain length, and she did it! She was patient during the entire process and very knowledgeable, which made everything easier. She was ready and willing to answer countless questions. The dress was comfortable and so well fitting to my body all day! I absolutely loved it! Additionally, she was able to make a pocket square out of my dress for my husband to wear! Couldn't recommend her enough!!
