I've been coming to this place for years. All work is professional and quick turn-around! I trust them with all my alterations. The owners are super nice too. I won't go anywhere else. read more

The tailor here is AMAZING, with a very quick turn around time and very reasonable pricing. Before taking her my wedding gown, I got a bridesmaid dress altered here, and she finished it in less than a week. She talks you through all your options and will tell you if she thinks there is a better way to alter the dress, even if that makes her less money. I took my wedding dress and my mother's dress to her, she got them both done within a week (during what I assume to be peak season), let us both try them on and make free adjustments if necessary, and they turned out beautifully. I will be returning here for ANYTHING I need fixed. 100% recommend! read more

Got a brand new pair of hyper blue skinny jeans hemmed here for $9. Pretty standard and honestly, great considering they were ready in 4 days and they were able to match the thread color at the hem EXACTLY. Polite and kind. read more

Universal Tailors - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Riverside, California

It's hard to find a good " mom and pop" business these days. This is one of them. Run and owned by a married couple who really care about their craft. I'm thin with long arms, so they will be seeing all of my jackets and shirts! read more

I've recently lost some weight and my clothing is too big, pants falling down...which, for a middle-aged woman is not so good! Anyway, I searched for a tailor and saw the good reviews on Yelp and decided to try Universal Tailors, off of McKinley and 91 in Corona, CA. I was completely impressed! I initially took in 2 pairs of chino pants to see if they do quality work...I was so impressed that I took in 4 more pairs for them to alter! It's like having a brand new wardrobe at a fraction of the cost! They had to alter the legs, waist and crotch, cost approximately $30 each, but considering that new pants would have cost me double that (or more), it was a bargain, plus they fit perfectly! The owners are very friendly and respectful toward the customers. But, most importantly, they do quality work! In fact, I'm taking more items to them today! I highly recommend Universal Tailors! You won't be sorry! read more

I have been a customer for almost 15 years now. AMAZING owner who is versatile and knows the styles. I have a lot of designer delicate clothes and the owner manages to make them way better than when they came off the rack. I highly recommend anyone who needs any clothing altered or tailored to custom fit to your body. read more

I decided to try this place based on my daughter in law's excellent experience. I needed a dress hemmed (rush job). I advised the lady I needed 1.5" shorter. She advised the material the dress was made of was very stretchy and would probably be too long after some use. She also suggested I try it on to get a better measurement as sometimes items aren't even. I have to say she could have just taken it and done as I requested but she wanted me to have it done right. The price was great, around the same, or less than I have paid at other locations. This will be my new go to alterations place. read more

Super quick and efficient service !! Will go back for all my tailor needs. Needed a bridesmaid dress tailored at the bottom and got it done in less than a week. read more

Came in for the first time today, brought a dress in last minute today on Wednesday for a hem and Marinela was so accommodating to have it ready by Friday for my event. Such a sweet personality and honest! European tailors are the way to go! read more

Change the information on the website to depict what i saw on the door once I drove all the way there. I drove there based on the information on the website not the information on the door. Not malicious constructive criticism. read more

The owner is really sweet and does good work. She adjusted the length of a dress I didn't want to wear and made my husbands suit fit perfectly on his solid frame. Definitely recommend her to everyone. read more

I have been a customer for years. Since this is So Cal, I haven't needed a suit (and therefore tailoring) for 10 years. I am very surprised and saddened by some of the reviews. Mary has done quality work for me every time at reasonable prices. I would never consider going anywhere else. The older gentlemen who co-owned the place passed away a few years ago after a long illness. They also moved a couple of times during the same time frame. Cut them some slack. If they didn't smile at you or greet you perfectly, perhaps it was because of their situation. Hate them if you want, but there aren't that many mom and pop stores around anymore that do quality work. I ask them to do minor alterations. If you aren't happy that she cant make your size 2 dress fit on your size 8 body, that's your fault. If your arms are too short and the buttons on your suit sleeves are off, take it up with God...no one is looking at the spacing of the buttons...they are wondering why your arms are so short relative to your pear body. 5 stars for being nice people that do good work at reasonable prices. Old school. P.S. Hey Liz P: if you think Mary is Korean, then it explains your review...totally off-base and clueless. You must be thinking about a different place. read more

Been a customer of theirs for years. Always friendly, ethical and honest work. If you're looking for quality tailoring definitely try them out. read more

Great job done by Universal Tailors on my Daughters prom Dress . Fastt friendly service would highly reconmend.

Marinela is a personal friend. She is also one of the best tailors I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Despite the recent loss of her husband she has managed to take over the business and make it flourish. I can honestly say that I have never had a piece of clothing that I need to take back because of something done wrong. L. Cochran read more

I have been with Universal Tailors for almost 2 decades. The level of service and the attention to detail is extraordinary. I will continue to take ALL of my garments to Marinela. She is a joy to work with and a true artist at her craft. read more

She did an excellent job very quickly and was very affordable! Much cheaper and better job than expected!

Our favorite tailor. Originally located on McKinley but recently moved to Pierce. Same great service with a new larger space. Glad to be able to have our clothing tailored again by only the best. read more

I use Universal for all of my families tailor needs such as jeans at original hem, dresses, etc. Very friendly, highly recommended.

I brought in my wife's wedding dress and 2 suits for some last minute alterations (hemming 3-layer dress, lengthening suit trousers and jacket sleeves) before the wedding. The lady who ran the shop stayed open and waited for me to arrive on a holiday (Labor Day). She was extremely knowledgeable about current trends and did amazing work with all 5 items. She was easily reachable on her phone despite the holiday and was very accommodating with our giant rush order. I felt the alterations for my suit were a bit pricey, BUT I had zero issues and it was stress-free business for myself as the consumer! Whenever I need alterations, this will be the first places that comes to mind above all the other places I've been and/or read about. read more

I absolutely love this tailor shop. I have been coming here for years. They always do a fantastic job and your clothes are ready when they say they will be. Owners are a husband and wife and they are always very pleasant. read more

Came in for another alteration. Alterations are 10$. It was so quick. She new what I wanted done right away with almost just looking at it. Most orders are done in 2 business days, but if asked and if I can be done, it can also be same day. You can send someone else to pick up your clothes, you dont need the ticket, but she will need a name and what was done. It is polite to give a call for a heads up on who is picking up the merchandise. read more

Quick and easy business, very friendly interactions. The alternations on my suit and pants were perfectly fitted to my body.

Marinela is my favorite tailor. Her attention to detail and her honesty and knowledge fully impressed me from the beginning. I brought my wedding dress here to be hemmed and have bustle hooks added. Marinela did a wonderful job even with the challenge due to the detail in the bottom of my dress. She also altered 3 of my bridesmaid's dresses. Very reasonably priced and very friendly. Now I bring everything to her! She is very timely and will make sure everything is perfect! read more

Universal Tailors - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Riverside, California

Always friendly and courteous. Reasonable prices. Been going to this place for over 7years.

I've come here many times in the last few months. I bought some new suits and of course they needed a little bit of work and the owner does a great job. I'm usually in and out of there in less than 10 minutes. She gives me my total and I come back in 5-7 days to pick up my items. She even did a rush order for me one week and charged me a fair price. The prices are fair given the quality of work. I've gone to other tailors who had great reviews and they either left my pants too long or too short and it's so frustrating. When you find a good thing, you stick with it. You can't take chances when you spend hundreds of dollars on new suits. I'm glad I brought my items here and I will continue to bring them here. read more

Why does this place have such great reviews? I went in there to get alterations for my bridesmaid dress and the lady there seemed like she didn't even want to give me the time of day just because my dress was sequin and it was "too complicated." She also wanted to charge me about $60 just for the hem! I took it somewhere else and they charged me $25 and did an amazing job! Not to mention their customer service was excellent and friendly, unlike this place. They also said the sequin was no problem. Don't think I'll ever be coming back to this place again for anything. read more

I liked this place until I brought back my husbands pants that didn't get tailored correctly. I brought two pants, one to use as a sample of what I wanted the pants to look like (slim). They were the exact brand, material etc, just different color. One lady who works there (seems Korean) has broken English. She said she will fix it after I paid for it and came back. Following day I came back and she said she couldn't do it and to go next door to fix it. Ummm okay. What about the $10 I spend for you to get it done correctly? SHE LITERALLY WALKED ME OUT AND POINTED ME NEXT DOOR TO GET IT FIXED. Mind you, I was polite and friendly the entire time. Just give me what I paid for. All I wanted was to make his pant from straight to bootleg (it's a uniform). Shame on you! read more

Quick, professional service at great prices! Very friendly. Glad to finally have a local tailor.

I have now taken 3 of my formal dresses to these amazing tailors. Every single one has come out better than it was before. One of my dresses was in dire need of alterations. It basically needed to become a different dress! I took it and another to them and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. I am so impressed by their work that I have even brought my mother to them from half an hour away! I will be back! read more

This place is fantastic!! So many supposed tailors have ruined my clothes, but this place is wonderful. Great work and really nice people. They are even fixing a jacket that another "tailor" shop ruined, so they will be getting lots of business from me!! I highly recommend them. read more

I love these people! It is a husband and wife owned business. I've been going to Universal Tailors for about 15 years for all my alterations. (They have been in business 20 + years). They do an excellent job, their prices are fair and they are very good about finishing the alterations in a timely manner. And most importantly, they are super friendly and you can tell they really appreciate your business, unlike other places I have been to. read more

Ordered a suit for a wedding and was given pants a size smaller and way longer then my size. Unfortunately, they couldn't send me the correct size in time for the wedding in a week, however Universal Tailors was able to fix my problem in less than a day, and they did it perfectly. I don't know much about suits, but she patiently explained current styles and took care of everything. read more

I have been getting my clothes tailored at this location for over 12 years. The craftsmanship and the service is better than any other place I have been to. The clothes last a lifetime because the stitching is so good. Their new location is better than the one they came from. I would not trust anyone else with my clothes. The prices are also very reasonable. read more

Had to get my new cocktail dress tailored for my birthday trip to Vegas last minute and Marinela was able to get it done same day before my trip! Her work is always perfection! My favorite tailor since my first time visit back in 1997, when she tailored my prom dress! Great seeing her again after all these years for my 39th birthday dress! read more

Went here after reading the yelp reviews to get some pants hemmed. There was an older gentleman there, whom I assume was the owner. Very nice guy. He said that since the hem was for dress pants, it had to be an invisible hem, which was $10. That seemed to be about the going price based on the places I called. There was a dressing room for me to try the pants on, he made some marks, and I was on my way. The pants were ready 2 days later as promised, and it was perfect. Granted, this was just a hem, but nonetheless, the overall experience was very good, so it's 5 stars in my book. read more

Does excellent workmanship! Great people! They have recently moved across the street by the sears outlet

The price of a silk kimono top was finally discounted to my price range from an online source. I bought it, but it didn't fit properly. The sleeves just looked wrong. The lady at Universal said that she couldn't match the stitching on the sleeves but she didn't think it would make a difference. She was right. The outfit was altered and now looks perfect. Best of all, it only cost $20 to make the repair. I will absolutely return for other alterations. read more

I came into get my prom dress shortened and the lady was very nice . She immediately had me try it on so she could mark where she would cut and it was quick didn't take long . Definitely will be coming back for future alterations . read more

Absolutely beautiful, expert tailoring at fair prices. Aside from tailoring, hems, and elastic replacement, she also mended holes in fine wool sweaters and did a lovely job. I've been to several other places and recommend her over any others. I have been sewing since I was a little girl and appreciate quality. I know excellent craftsmanship and this is a place you can trust. Just remember that she takes a late lunch in the afternoon from about 3-4:30 (call to confirm). read more
