I had a really disappointing experience at Vinshop Bridal. From the moment I walked in, the environment felt unwelcoming and honestly a bit hostile. I'm 5'10 and slender, and I recently won Miss Los Angeles Chinatown as Queen, so I came in excited to find something special with a bit of variety. Instead, I felt judged and dismissed. When I asked about dresses, the associate kept emphasizing how "expensive" everything was, repeatedly mentioning that pieces were hand-made and costly in a way that felt less informative and more like she was assuming I couldn't afford them. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary. I only got to try on one dress, and even then, there was no real effort to help me explore options or make the experience enjoyable. It felt like she didn't want to assist me or take the time to work with me at all. The shop itself is in a house, which I don't mind, but the customer service was extremely lacking. On top of that, many of the dresses seemed too short for taller girls, which made the selection even more limiting. Overall, I felt unwelcome, unsupported, and honestly discouraged. Qipao shopping should feel exciting and special, and this was the complete opposite. read more

The owners were so lovely to work with and so easy to chat with. I gave her a vision of what I wanted and she designed my qipao so beautifully. I went back to try on my dress after she had completed everything but I had lost so much weight since the initial fitting that the dress was too big. She immediately fixed it and I was able to pick up my dress in time for the wedding. 10/10 would recommend Vinshop! read more

Best experience ever! My wife is so happy with her qi pao. Anna was so patient and very understanding of our vision for our wedding. She even drew a sketch to help us visualize the dress. I have never seen anyone so understanding in helping my wife pick her dress. Overall, great service! read more

Vinshop Usa - My wife was getting dressed, so I took the honor of taking this photo - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - West Covina, California

Based on my personal experience and previous reviews, the owners are outrageously rude if you're not planning to buy from them (i.e., if you're inquiring about renting, alterations, etc.). I'd initially made an appointment for a qipao alteration. It belonged to my future mother-in-law, and the sentimentality of wearing her qipao for my tea ceremony meant a lot to both of us. Unfortunately, it was a little too big, so I looked for a business who had experience working with qipaos to perform the alteration. As soon as walked through their door and unzipped my dress bag, both of the husband and wife owners began chuckling and shaking their heads (???). Even after explaining my situation, the wife proceeded to call my qipao "cheap" and not worth the alteration. That it must have been bought from some random store (instead of custom-made in Hong Kong, which it was). She said, verbatim, "This is what people in the USA buy for Halloween!" She then went on to be extremely pushy with her own qipaos, insisting that I buy one of them and relentlessly comparing the worksmanship of my mother-in-law's qipao to Vinshop's own. Now, I understand that she may have had her own opinions about my situation, but her behavior was unacceptable. This was about 10-15 minutes of her insulting my qipao and trying to convince me to buy one of her available ones. If she wasn't willing to do an alteration, or thought that it wasn't possible/reasonable, that's all she had to say and I would have been on my way. Instead, the business owner went out of her way to be disrespectful and demeaning while pushing her own products onto me. I assume that this business only has a good overall rating because they treat customers who buy directly from them differently from those who come to them for any other reason. I would not recommend this business. read more

I cannot recommend Vinshop enough!! Anna and Peter are both so kind and wonderful. My mom, sister-in-law, and I were shopping in California in August for a qipao for my tea ceremony. We went to a few places before Vinshop and were not impressed by the businesses and the people. When we made our appointment, we were welcomed by Anna and Peter and they were very friendly. They helped us all find qipaos. And since we are from Arizona, Anna offered to alter our dresses in a matter of hours so we could pick it up later that evening. They were absolutely wonderful to work with and helped us pick out exactly what we wanted. They had a really good selection and everything was made with exceptional quality.

Found this place on yelp, but was unsure if I should try it because it's located in the owners' garage. But another bride recommended it, and I'm glad I took her suggestion. Husband and wife team work together to find your perfect cheongsam, and they are so sweet. I did take my mom just to make sure nothing was lost in translation, but they understood all my requests in English. They have a large selection of gowns, and helped pick out the fabric and cut of the gown, as well as did some customizations for me. When I went to pick up the dress, it needed some alterations and they had it done the same day. I can't wait to wear it, and it was a quick but nice experience for me and my mom. They also have some men's jackets. Only con is the price, but you are paying for skill and not an amazon delivery. read more

Look how good Vinshop made us look! Such a memorable experience I got to share with my family and the owners. They started taking out my dress after I bought my dress. If all goes well I won't need alterations for my upcoming wedding. With my purchase, alterations were included. I had no idea where to begin my search for a qipao, so thankful I found Vinshop USA on Yelp. They've been in the community for years after moving a couple locations. The ownership was so kind and funny I really enjoyed them. I will come back for my next special event and encourage my friends and family to make an appointment online to support the business read more

Was a little disappointed with the first interaction I had with them. I am the bride to be and was very curious to see this spot - since it had great reviews and was somewhat nearby. So I took my parents here and when we first came into the residential area, we were confused on where the exact location was so I called them and the male owner picked up and reassured me it was in their house. So I went in and was met upon the female owner there. We had booked an appointment around 12 and due to us not able to fully find the place, we were late (so our fault's on our end for this portion). However, I did not like that they were very dismissive from their tones. We were just curious about the pricing and they quoted us at $1500-2000 per dress, which was a very big gap from what we had seen from previous stores. So my mom who spoke Cantonese as well just said to them that it seemed very expensive for a one time use and that we had previously seen qipaos for cheaper, such as the one my sister had at her wedding. I understand that each small business owner can charge their own price for their goods, so that was of no issue for me. However, I did not appreciate the male owner's tone by saying "then why don't you wear your sister's then". It just felt very harsh and dismissive and I wished they could've just said this is what they charge for their qipaos. I understand minimal Cantonese but I could tell their tone was harsher than my relatives and other business owners. Afterwards, we just felt super awkward and just wasn't sure how to react. So we just carried on and just had an open mind to still look around, since we wanted to see if there were options. We didn't want to hold back. So I saw one was that very nice and said "is it okay if I try this one?" But the male owner was like "it is too inconvenient to untie this for you to try". How is that okay to say to someone and assume? :( I just wish they were more open-minded as well even though we did have a budget in mind. After our interactions, we just felt very hesitant and wanted to leave and said our goodbyes with respect and asked for a card and they handed it to us. When we asked who to call if we were interested, they immediately were saying "don't call - just make an appointment". Overall, this experience left a very bad taste in my mouth. We went to another place immediately and had a VERY different experience there. I would be very cautious for the next person coming to Vinshop USA and I truly hope the owners change their attitudes. read more

Early on during wedding planning, my then fiance (now husband, he's Taiwanese) and I (I'm Filipino) decided that we wanted to wear traditional clothing during the reception part of our wedding celebration. I was going to wear a qi pao, and he was going to wear a Barong Tagalog. I found this mom and pop shop while looking for qi pao shops on Yelp... Unfortunately they closed for a while because of the pandemic, and I kept waiting for them to reopen. Finally I was able to schedule an appointment with them in May this year after the owners were able to get vaccinated. When I arrived to the shop, I was greeted warmly by the owners :) I tried on probably 3-4 qi paos and went with this one. I was told it'd take about 2-3 weeks for them to be done with the alterations part (it was already pre-made by them but needed to be taken in at some parts). I did lose about 5-10 lbs between the time of the last fitting until I wore the qi pao at my wedding (about a month) so it looks a little loose in the photos. But at the last fitting in July, it fit like a glove. It perfectly hugged my curves without being too tight or restrictive. I also appreciate that the alteration was included when I bought the qi pao, and you can tell they are very experienced because the owner lady looked at me, took my measurements deftly, and I was wondering if that was it... When I came back for my fitting, it fit so well! Best part is, I didn't even have to change into anything else once we started dancing, it was so comfortable to move around in. I wore the qi pao until the end of the night (probably like 3 hours straight). I'm so glad I was able to buy from them, my husband and I really wanted to help Asian small business vendors while planning our wedding, and I'm really happy with our purchase. Very high quality, hand-sewn, and they have a wide selection of traditional and modern qi paos. Even my husband's mom's Taiwanese friends were very impressed by the quality of the qi pao, they said it looked like something you'd find back in Taiwan. They were even sewing a lot of qi paos for prom when I went, it was heartwarming to see many young people leaning into their culture by wearing a qi pao to prom. :) read more

If you're looking to get a qipao custom made for your wedding, look no further! I found Vinshop on Yelp and due to it's good ratings my mom and I went to visit them when they were still in their Rowland Heights location. Anna and Peter were very nice, and they measured me on the spot, had me try on a qipao or two, and quoted me a price once I chose the material/style I wanted. After seeing their beautiful work, both my mom and I ordered qipaos from them for my August 2011 wedding at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel. I had to do a couple of fittings, but both the qipaos ended up fitting beautifully and I was very excited to debut them at my wedding! Anna and Peter are both very nice and professional, and they are extremely talented in their craft. They make simple qipao to extremely intricate, beaded ones and their prices are very reasonable. If you want an extremely traditional Chinese wedding, they even have Quan-Qua available to rent! :) read more

I can't say enough great things about Vinshop if you are looking for a Chinese wedding dress, Qipoa. Not only can you customize your own dress, they will even do same day alterations if you are in need of your dress asap. I've been to a few business prior to coming here, from Chinatown, to online shopping and even looked at a few stores in Hong Kong. What I liked most about Vinshop is they have a large variety from different designs, colors, cost and even a custom made option. The sales floor is very easy to maneuver. They put their best dresses on display and many of them on the racks. I went through the rack and found one that was beautiful, red and gold, with a design of peacocks, high collar, with a slit on both ends. The cost was a little higher then I expected. My dress was on sale for $289. But the quality was superb. The material is thick, the stiching was very clean and design was classy and beautiful. You can compare the cheap ones via online and the Qipoa that comes in a plastic bag in Chinatown, the ones at this store are far better. We were able to bargain to remove the sales tax price if we paid in cash instead of credit card. The owner is a husband and wife. They are super sweet and have been in the business for over a decade but had moved here to Rowland Heights recently. After I purchased my dress, she told me to do 2 dress fittings in case I lose weight and needed to tailor the dress before my wedding. She even did the tailoring when I went to pick up my dress because i said it was a little too tight (keep in mind the the fabric does not stretch). I loved how personable they were both were and would recommend you call to book a fitting appointment because they can get busy when you least expect it. They included the alterations when i purchased the dress. On a different note, this is the first place I found where they also so red and gold ties for men that matched the design or colors with a Qipoa. I got my husband a tie for 60 dollars. The parking is in the Asian shopping center. The business is located on the second floor to your right. I would highly recommend this buisness. VIinshop made shopping for an Asian wedding dress fun and easy. read more

The quality of the qui paos here are incredible! They have such a nice selection of pre-made dresses in addition to the ability to custom make your dress if you have the time. My daughter needed a dress for the prom so we did not have the time to custom make her dress. Fortunately Anna was able to find something that worked for my daughter. If we had wanted to custom make a dress, we would have picked the exact dress we found. After a few alterations, the dress felt custom made. The entire process of shopping here from start to end was effortless. Peter and Anna were beyond helpful and nice. This is the place to buy your quality and custom made qui paos! read more

I needed a qi pao/cheung sam for a special event. I found Anna and her husband, Peter, and their Vinshop on Yelp. I had looked at other places but found the other stores rather rude. But Anna was so nice and helped me pick out fabric and border details for my dress. Let me just say, Anna knows what she is doing! She has been making qi pao for decades and the quality of her work shows it. She was so patient with me while ordering my dress. She measured me and the dress fit me like a glove, with no further alterations necessary. I went to this event and people i didn't even know stopped me to say how glamorous i looked and how beautiful my dress was. We also had a tie and handkerchief made for husband from the same material as my dress. If you are looking for a qi pao, i highly recommend you go see Anna! read more

I was really excited to browse and find a wedding qipao here at Vinshop because of the glowing Yelp reviews but I was really disappointed by the service I received. I had called a few weeks prior and was instructed to make an appointment online because walk ins were not allowed which is totally understandable. The day of my appointment I called in to see if I could come in 10-15 minutes early but the man on the phone said they were assisting another customer so I should come at the appointment time which is also very reasonable. When my mom and I arrived, the male owner stepped away and it was just us and the tailor. I started going through the racks excited to try some on. It felt rather awkward as I was going through the racks and the tailor was just watching me. She was also quick to instruct us not to take photos of or in the dress. Honestly, i was a bit taken aback by this because there are plenty of photos of individuals in store with their dresses here on Yelp. Also, when I was less than 10 minutes into my appointment, another party of 3 comes in looking for an off the rack qipao. The tailor immediately started assisting them and even calling in the male owner to see how well a dress fit. I had a dress picked out and wanted to ask a few more questions but their attentions were entirely diverted. Our attempts to ask questions or finalize a dress order were unheard. At that point we we were hoping to get a fabric sample so we could come back later and order since they were preoccupied. With their 1 party appointment system and no early walk ins, this was really unexpected. We immediately left and didn't get a response to our goodbye only 17 minutes into the appointment. If i were going to spend $480+ on a dress I'd hope i would get better customer service. Hopefully this was just a one off experience. read more

My daughter and I have been looking for a Cheongsam dress for her high school presentation and saw Vinshop Bridal on Google. As we approached, customers were leaving with smiles, waving to the people inside the store now, I know why. The store owner's Anna and Peter are genuinely the nicest people we have came across in a long time. If it wasn't for them, my daughter wouldn't have gotten a quality, beautiful Cheongsam dress along with the confidence to present in front of strangers. They treated us as if we were family, and anyone who is in need of formal wear, must stop here first! They have beautiful dresses/gowns etc..for yourself or your loved one's and will leave here feeling like a Royalty! read more

I needed a gown for my daughter's tea ceremony and wedding reception. Anna did her magic with her unique floral design and hand sewn sequins. The exquisite sequin floral design extended to both of the dress sleeves. The sparkling royal blue chiffon gown fabric is the perfect backdrop that brings out the sequins of the floral design. There was only one dressing fitting! Anna got it right from the initial measurements. Thank you Anna and Peter for such a beautiful gown! read more

I flew from Denver to visit Vinshop after reading all the reviews. Their shop is not a big place, but they have a wide variety in color, design and style. Within my budget, I was able to find quite a few choices. I tried a lot of dresses. I may have not been the easiest customer. But they were very patient with me and helpful in the decision making. The dress that I picked is the one shown in the picture attached. The dress feels like it was made for me and fits snugly. The only alteration they need ed to do the dress was to slightly shorten the length. I am very happy that I found this place and appreciate that they helped me pick the dress that I am absolutely in love with. read more

This shop is owned by an older couple, Peter and Anna-- whom I now like to call Uncle Peter and Auntie Anna due to warmness they always extend to me when I go there. I recently went to VinShopUSA to get a second opinion on a chipao I had custom made at GeGe Chipao in Arcadia, and I was pleasantly surprised with the amazing service they provided!! They provide quick turn-around for alterations on chipaos AND can speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin. A huge advantage compared to Helen Zhou at Gege Chipao. In addition, the quality of their chipaos are incomparable. They hand stitch the hemming of the chipaos and are very accommodating in making sure you look your best! I ended up purchasing one of their custom made sequined chipaos last minute, and I've gotten so many compliments on how beautiful it is. Within two weeks, I visited their shop several times to prepare for my big event. They altered the custom-made (and ill-fitting) chipao from Gege Chipao, altered one of their GORGEOUS sequined chipaos (see pic) to fit me perfectly, altered a pair of long gloves for my chipao, and custom tailored a pre-bought evening gown for me. If you are in the SGV area, you need to visit VinShopUSA for great service and beautiful work! They are truly the best! P.S. After my event, they even called me to congratulate me! :) read more

This review came a little overdue! My husband and I came by in August 2011 to check out the place. Back then, they were still located in Rowland Heights near Yes Plaza. We came to see how were the Qi Pao and spoke with both Anna and Peter. We were pretty impressed with the contemporary Qi Pao which is an A-line rather than the form hugging Qi Pao. All Qi Pao's are tailor-made to fit you therefore you couldn't really try any of the displayed ones. My wedding was in Jan 2012, Anna and Peter told me it takes about 2 months to make so I came back to their store around October 2011 but this time is at Rancho Cucamonga around and to get measured. I didn't want the traditional red Qi Pao and I'm a plus size so I chose the contemporary Qi Pao instead. I had seen a picture from my friend who also got the contemporary Qi Pao and liked the way it look. Since our wedding theme was purple and blue, we decided to have a purple contemporary Qi Pao with wedding theme embroidery in gold. there were no sample purple Qi Pao so I went with one of the A-line pattern and changed the base of the fabric to purple. 2 months later, my husband and I came to pick up the dress. The work was very professional done except there were only little gold but instead of red on the top of the dress and it looks like a bib. I was a little disappointed because both red and purple are very strong color and they weren't complementing to each other. I was going to pick up one week after alternation but the red bib really bothered me. After a day, I called the store and asked if the red could be taken out but Anna told me, it couldn't be done because it's hand sewn. I was very torn. A few minutes later, Peter called me and asked me when was my wedding and said he would try his best to change it but it would take a little longer. I said it's OK as long and it can be done before my wedding. 3 weeks later, we came back to the store to pick up the Qi Pao. I had no idea that Peter and Anna remade the Qi Pao from scratch and it was astounding!! I was very happy and extremely touched by the extraordinary service! On my wedding day, I had so many compliments on the magnificent handmanship of the embroidery on the dress. A few of my friends were really wow by the dress and said they've never seen it so unique! I want to extend my thank to both Peter and Anna for making such one of a kind Qi Pao for my wedding! Thank you very much! read more

My company finds this tailor for our traditional Chinese music / dance performance as a sponsor. They are an older couple. Very, very hospitable. They don't open on wednesdays and sometimes close an hour early or so when it's slow. If you plan on dropping by from far, make sure you call ahead so they'll wait for you. Anna (the wife) is very, very nice. She chose this blue dress for me to wear (see the picture I uploaded). It's truly a beautiful piece. It has significantly helped me to distract the audience's attention to my amateurship in the performance. I heard it's about $400 but hey, it's pretty! read more

If it matters, I went to the shop by myself to order, and I do speak fluent Cantonese. Stopped by here without an appointment to ask about getting a qipao made for a pageant. I had read reviews about other shops that are closer to me, but they honestly sound questionable... and I know Vinshop is very reputable and has done qipaos for many contestants in pageants. My experience here was pleasant from the start. "Auntie" and "Uncle" are very friendly and they definitely listened to what I wanted. They also offered their opinions, but they were not pushy at all. I already had in mind what I wanted the collar to look like, but was unsure about the color of the dress. They had a very large collection of pretty fabric swatches... It was actually hard to choose just one fabric. Uncle helped me a lot with choosing the colors, and then Auntie took down my measurements. My qipao was ready about a month later. It still needed some alterations (it was intentionally made loose... mine was strangely very loose, though, not sure if it was so other customers could try it on?), and was told to bring it back closer to the pageant date to ensure that it would be at its most fitted. When I did bring it back in, the alterations were quick and went smoothly. Auntie does fabulous, meticulous work that is obvious in my qipao. I gladly recommend Vinshop. I got my qipao for a great price, and there are various styles and a plethora of fabric swatches to choose from. Edit: I did not include this before, but just putting it out there: during one of my visits there, the owner made a racist remark in Chinese (not about me, about a few little girls who went in and wanted to know if they do dance choreography). This is unrelated to their qipao service and experience, but it did not sit well with me and it still doesn't, so just wanted to let others know. read more

My mom had found this place as a last-minute attempt to get me a qipao for my wedding. It wasn't that I didn't originally want a qipao, I just didn't have any luck finding any thru my own search but thankfully, my mom was able to find this place. Firstly, I was a bit hesitant when I first looked up the location because maps show it is a house. I had my reservations but I made an appointment and brought my then-fiance with me. The owners (a husband and wife couple I believe?) have their shop set up in the garage from their home. Despite the smaller space, they had quite a few options. I had my appointment almost exactly 1 month away from my wedding date so it was no longer possible to design one to be made. Nonetheless, they had a pretty good selection. I am 5'2 and under 100lbs - they had a little bit of a struggle finding a dress that fit me well enough to be able to tailor accordingly. They were able to find me a few and I was lucky enough to find one I just absolutely fell in love with. It was a darker red that goes beautifully with my lighter skin complexion. Another bonus? They were able to tailor and have me come back to pick up the exact same day! As far as pricing, it was a bit more than I was hoping to spend but still reasonable and in hindsight, totally worth it. Especially because everything is made in-house (from my understanding) and the material and stitchwork are high quality. The fit was very flattering but was still very comfortable and easy to move in (as you can see from the pics). I would highly recommend this business. read more

This place is just amazing. Custom tailored Chinese dresses. I bought 4 dresses here for my wedding (1 for each of my sisters,1 for my mom, and 1 for me). Even though the prices seem expensive, they are actually worth every penny. Peter's wife (she refers herself as our "auntie" ) does such a great job on fitting every dress to your body making us look incredibly sexy! And trust me, I am not sexy, I am cute and she made all my curves come out without making me look trashy. I was so sophisticated. I recommend this place 100% My husband and I also rented the traditional Chinese outfits here for our tea ceremony. They were just beautiful! read more

I purchased my QiPao from this store and had it altered here as well. Anna was able to alter my dress quickly and it fit perfectly. No zipper humps or lumps, just a perfect fit. The price she quoted me for the Qipao and alteration was dirt cheap, cheaper than anywhere else I received quotes from. Also other stores said that the wait time would be 2-3 weeks. Anna was able to have it done for me in four days! Later I purchased a wedding dress that was on sale at Davids Bridal and it was a no brainer, I took it straight to Anna and Peter to have it altered one size smaller. I even asked Anna to add extra padding to the chest area so it would look "fuller". The dress was finished in one week and once again, a perfect fit. I included a photo of me with my wedding dress standing on a cliff. Thank you Anna and Peter! I would highly recommend them to all my friends. read more

Anna and Peter are really great. They used to be located in Rowland Heights but moved their business to Rancho Cucamonga. I live in the Bay Area and came to LA just to look for my qi pao as I've heard they are made with better quality for cheaper in SoCal. I first called the store to make sure they were open before I drove out there. Peter told me that they weren't open but that he was close by so that they could meet us there. I had told him I was in town from the Bay Area and he was kind enough to go out of his way to come in just for me. My fiance, sister and I came into the store and I tried on a handful of qipaos. It was really nice working with Auntie Anna and Uncle Peter because it is a small business and they are appreciative of the business that they get. I happened to come at a good time after they just moved locations and so they were giving larger discounts for dresses to get business to pick up. I decided on a custom qipao and got a great deal on it, few hundred less than retail. They do negotiate, as do many Asian shops do. The difference is that you can tell how great the quality of work is on the dresses here versus the quality in the other stores. Anna does the sewing herself and she is really good at what she does. Auntie Anna was so cute and sweet too. Both me and my fiance thought that she reminded us of my mom. She helped me get in and out of the dresses I tried on, take measurements and I just felt like I could trust her. She wasn't just trying to make a sale. When we came back about a YEAR later,(yes I had a long engagement), we let both Anna and Peter know we were coming back into town. I lost my receipt because it had been so long but they didn't need it. The dress ended up being a little big on me and so Anna made alterations to the dress on the spot. We went next door to grab a bite to eat and the dress was done by the time we came back, under an hour. She even made a custom loop in the back of the dress that I had wanted and a lot of people liked that. I got lots of compliments at my wedding and really recommend Vinshop to get your qipao. My dress was so comfortable and fit like a glove. read more

My future husband and I walked into Vinshop USA looking for outfits for our tea ceremony. We weren't really sure what we were looking for but Anna and Peter were super helpful and patient with us. They have hundreds of styles, swatches, and cuts to look through. They were able to tell us which cuts would flatter us most and even gave us some background on the meanings of each color/animal (Phoenix vs. dragon etc). We made our style selections, Anna took our measurements, and our custom-made outfits were ready in just a few weeks. And although I had lost some weight between the day she took measurements and the pick up date, Anna was able to alter it to fit like a glove that same day. Although the pricing is a bit higher than buying something "off-the-rack" in one of those LA shops, the quality and personalization factor was well worth it. My Qipao fit like a dream and really flattered my figure. My husband and I got endless compliments on our authentic outfits. I would definitely recommend Vinshop USA to anyone looking for good quality tea ceremony attire. read more

Thank you so much Peter and Anna! You have made such a gorgeous qingpao (Chinese dress) for my wedding! I can't thank enough. I heard about Vinshop USA from my mother-in-law who heard of it on the radio. So we went to the shop and gave it a try. The first time we were there, I tried on different styles of dresses and picked the fabric. It was very nice too as they can custom made almost any style you like! Anna measured me and told me it'd be ready in a few months. Then today, I went in to pick my dress up. I was nervous and wasn't sure what to expect. I was so pleasantly surprised.... their work was gorgeous. I tried it on and the waist was just a little loose as I lost some weight after the first meeting, but Anna and Peter were so sweet. They altered it for me right away to save me a trip since I came all the way from Culver City (very worth the trips though)! I came back from lunch from the area and the dress was ready! I tried it on again - Wow so perfect! It literally fitted me like a glove and with elegance. My fiancee's first response when he saw me was, "Damn that's hot". I didn't know qingpao can bring that kind of reaction! Haha. Price was reasonable too given that it's custom made and with such high quality and customer service. Anyways, I'd highly recommend any bride to check them out and definitely would tell everyone of my friends to go there for the qingpao. Thank you again for making me feel pretty on my wedding day! read more

My dress was great. Rather than walking into a random store along Las tunas in LA, I opted to find a place less frequented by patrons in my area -the San Gabriel Valley. Frustrated that some places were not open and that I needed to speak Mandarin, I figured I'd call VINshop to see what they were all about. The lady is super talented and the man also takes pride in the shop and the work put into the dresses. The lady makes western dresses and Chinese dresses, and she will tell you what looks good and what does not. She hand-beads and hand-makes these dresses. You can see the care in her work. I was happy with how it turned out. To give you an idea of how good they are, I ordered my dress in the beginning of May, and my wedding was in the middle of June. It was done on time with last-minute touches the day I picked it up. Everything was fine unlike the other horror stories you hear about last-minute brides doing last-minute things. VINshop is very on-point with timelines and detail. And I did not feel bad at all for not speaking Cantonese or Mandarin. It's not like that at all in this store. My wedding reception was more special because of the dress. My husband's family and friends noticed the dress and I received a lot of compliments and gave a few referrals out for the shop. I thank VINshop for having consistent business hours, being so diligent & helpful in my time of dress confusion, and for being hospitable. I recommend this place for 100% of your personalized style needs for wedding or any other formal attire. read more

A yi is the best at what she does! As an American woman I have a very different body style than the typical wearer of Qi Pao, she didn't turn me away or tell me she couldn't make one for me. She luckily had one already made that I could fit in and then altered it to fit me PERFECTLY! Her work is so detailed and exact and if you've seen any of the photos of what she's made they're even more beautiful in person. I picked up my Qi Pao today after she altered it and I could not be more happy with the final product. If you're looking for a place to go I recommend her shop she's been doing this for over 50 years and knows what she's doing for all customers. Her prices are very reasonable for the work being done but do know for a custom dress depending on style and detail you should give her a few months in advance to make it, do not wait a month before you need it! I hope to get another one from her in the future. 谢谢 阿 姨 (I attached a picture of two that she has in her shop I absolutely loved) read more
