    Ballroom bustle! $300 for this bustle. Tailor Maid also does American (over) and French bustles for less $ than ballroom.

    Very pricey but very worth it. My gown is gorgeous with the most amazing Duchess satin so I wanted to make sure I had it altered at the right place. My bridal boutique in LA recommended Tailor Maid, so it seemed like it had to be good! I had the pleasure of working with Tina who is as pleasant and helpful as she is skilled. She gave me everything I asked for. The fit was impeccable, and everything from strap placement to hemline to the ballroom bustle (worth it!) was a dream come true. I was on a tight timeline (first fitting was 3 weeks out from wedding day) and they made it happen! Tina even gave me a discount for the buttons at the zipper area which would have been an extra charge. The website is helpful, too. I ended up purchasing the steamer recommended on the FAQ and it was great. Street parking which can be tricky but my appointments were always first thing in the morning so I didn't have trouble. Not too far from BART/MUNI stations at Powell, Montgomery etc either. Trying on my wedding dress, knowing it was in good hands, then walking to Joy's Place for a latte afterward on a beautiful SF September morning. Definitely one of the more relaxing parts of my wedding prep!

    I cannot say enough good things about Tina and her incredible team at Tailor Maid. Aside from being massively talented, they are so nice and welcoming and truly made my dress fitting experience a highlight of wedding planning. They really take the time to understand what you want and they know these dresses and designers inside and out. I am so grateful for their incredible work, my dress fit like a glove! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for wedding dress tailoring in SF.

    Tina and the team at Tailor Maid are wonderful. I had my wedding dress and after party dress tailored here and was 1000% happy with the results. They were able to advise me on the best time to come in, balancing weight loss with having enough time to get all alterations done on time. Everytime I walked in, they were so warm and welcoming. We did a total of 3 fittings. The bustle, cinching, craftsmanship, and service are fantastic. I'm hoping to go back to them to have my dress altered into a cocktail dress.

    I'm so grateful and impressed with the work and service from Marissa and the Tailor Maid team! From start to finish they executed all my fittings perfectly and guided me so wonderfully throughout the process with care and consideration. I bought my dress from Lovely Bride SF and they had told me my dress was extremely challenging to alter so I knew going into it that I had to work with the best and truly trust whoever would be able to alter my dress since it hides nothing. Marissa and Tailor Maid definitely delivered! I was thrilled with how my dress turned out and it fit perfectly. Their work made my dress shine and it wouldn't have been nearly as great looking without Tailor Maid. Thank you so much, Marissa and team! I cannot recommend them enough!!!

    I'm so happy I had my wedding dress altered here. The team is so wonderful to work with, they make sure that every detail feels perfect for you and make sure you feel totally comfortable in your dress. I appreciated that there were 3 fittings, they put so much time and care into each element of the dress, and it really shows. 100% recommend Tailor Maid!

    My altered dress with a custom belt made from excess fabric! Fit beautifully.

    I can't say enough amazing things about this place. I bought a pre-loved dress from a consignment store in San Francisco and brought it here. Amazingly they recognized that they had hemmed the dress for the previous owner because they had saved the excess fabric with the dress and recognized their bustle loops! They crafted a beautiful belt from the leftover fabric. I had a minor shoe dilemma since after altering the dress, the hem was too short (this dress was pre-hemmed since it was owned before). They were actually able to stretch out the lace and make it the perfect length. I was shocked. They were nothing but kind, professional, and genuinely excited to be a part of my wedding journey. At my final fitting, I couldn't hold back tears because I was so amazed and so happy with how beautiful the dress turned out. They do such quality work, are transparent about pricing, and remove much of the stress that comes with wedding planning! I had never felt so beautiful.

    Final dress before alterations

    Marissa is a rockstar magician!!! After trying on over 50 dresses, I made an empowered choice to go with a "semi-custom" dress in order to get what I really wanted: a dress that combined a sweetheart neckline, blush base fabric with white lace, and a "fit and flare" or "soft mermaid" shape. Unfortunately what I got back from the designer was not "fit and flare" and it didn't have a sweetheart neckline. What I got back was an A-line dress that emphasized the widest part of my body and made me look dumpy, not curvy. The straps were in the wrong place. One out of three was not my idea of success. Before going to Tailor Maid, I would stare at my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th choice dress photos with tears in my eyes. If only ... When I looked at the original design photo next to the reality of the dress before Tailor Maid alterations, I felt a mix of sorrow, anger, and regret. Fortunately Marissa at Tailor Maid worked her magic. She rebuilt significant portions of the dress, so that I ended up with a fit and flare dress with a unique blend of a v-neck and sweetheart neckline. In the end, the dress was beautiful - just as she promised when I emailed her photos. I loved it. I highly recommend Tailor Maid. Book your session with them as soon as you can to make sure you look fabulous on your wedding day.

    Dress fit perfectly!

    AMAZING! Gracious, accommodating, kind, and professional! I had a COVID wedding and we ended up having to cancel the larger festivities for a small outdoor ceremony with 10 family members. I was on the fence about wearing my wedding dress given it was such a small ceremony but ended up deciding about two weeks before the date that I wanted to wear my dress. My neighbor got her wedding dress tailored at Tailor Maid and it's close to our apartment so I checked them out. Luckily they were open and operating safely during SIP! I went in ONE WEEK before my wedding (a Saturday) and the dress was ready by that Tuesday afternoon! The space is gorgeous and they were so accommodating with making the alterations so quickly. I got the dress hemmed, a bustle, wrist strap, and the back loops reinforced. Everything came out beautifully and I felt so comfortable in the dress! Pricing was super reasonable for the quality of the work! Would highly recommend Tailor Maid for any wedding dress alterations you may have!

    I love them! They help me with my wedding dress in a short time. The alterations was discreet enough. 100% recommended.

When I picked up the pants, they were nowhere near as tapered as what had been discussed. No problem, I thought. Alterations are subjective. Sometimes things need a second pass. What should have been a routine conversation turned into a complete crashout. I wasn't asking for a refund, raising my voice, or making a scene. I simply asked if we could revisit the work. The reaction was surprisingly hostile and unprofessional, especially considering I've been a customer for years. After reading other negative reviews, it seems I'm not the only person who's had this experience when providing feedback. The biggest issue isn't the pants. It's the trust. If a tailor can't handle a polite request for a revision on a basic pair of trousers, why would I feel comfortable bringing in Prada, Saint Laurent, a favorite vintage Levi's piece, or a family heirloom? Crazy way to end a six-year customer relationship over something that should have been a simple fix.

I first met Sandra about two years ago when I needed a rushed alteration on a complicated designer dress. She was incredibly meticulous and made it fit me perfectly. Since then, she's done many alterations for me and created several custom pieces for my wedding and bridal events. She made my bridal reception dress inspired by Vivienne Westwood, altered my actual Westwood ceremony dress, and designed my fully custom rehearsal look, along with two sexy black dresses, one for my bachelorette and one for New Year's Eve. She just gets it. Everything fits beautifully, feels considered, and is executed at a really high level. Sandra is skilled, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to work with.

I was excited to work with her, as she seemed to have a lot of experience working with heavily beaded and embroidered pieces, but now I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth and wouldn't bother asking again.
