Nostalgia Design Studio

Olga is absolutely fantastic! Tailored a new tuxedo to perfection and fixed a leather jacket for me. Super nice woman with top notch skills.

Olga is FANTASTIC!
I have to visit her again shortly to have some pants hemmed, but she’s done everything from mending beloved sweaters to restructuring a shirt to make it less boxy on my hourglass frame.
It’s so great to have someone so skilled local!

Olga is so incredible and talented! I took my strapless wedding dress here to see if it could be made into a halter top style, and Olga made it happen. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and we met several times for fittings. When she finished the dress, it was absolutely stunning. Above and beyond what I was imagining! She was a true professional and with over 25 years in the industry, she really knows her stuff. My wedding was incredible and thanks to Olga’s hard work and attention to detail, my dress was perfect! The best part is that after all her hard work, I was expecting a whopping bill at the end but was pleasantly surprised with how reasonable her prices were. I will definitely be going back to Olga for any future alteration needs!

Olga is amazing! I just had my prom dress altered and it came out perfect.
She adjusted the straps because they were loose and made it shorter so it would fit just right with my heels, for the price of 70 $. She had finished altering it in less than a week!
She is super professional and gave me advice of how I could wear the dress to make it look better!
I will definitely be coming back!

Olga altered my dress for my wedding on November 9, 2013 and she did a fabulous job! When I bought my dress back in NJ (my mom and sister wanted to help pick it out!) I found a gorgeous dress that was way too long for me. I wasn’t able to complete all of the alterations before I came home to HMB so I knew I would have to find someone locally who knew what they were doing. Wow, I’m so glad Olga popped up on Unilocal because she was amazing. She was so easy to work with and full of great ideas. she also worked VERY quickly! My dress was kind of a rush job because we planned our wedding very fast at the SB Courthouse. Olga worked with our crazy timeline and finished altering my dress with some time to spare. Her prices were so reasonable and I will definitely return to her if I ever need a dress or anything else worked on. My dress had something like 9 layers and was not an easy job by any means. I am so glad I worked with an expert seamstress!!! Thank you so much!

I took a bridesmaid’s dress that I had ordered online to Olga. The bust was too big and the top just looked bulky. I told her what I was seeing and she showed me what she could work on. She also had advice for things I could do on my own to make the dress look better.
She had it done in less than a week. I came back and tried it on and it looked beautiful! I thought she was just taking the sides in, but the way she did it brought the whole dress together. It looked much more natural on my body and I was very impressed. I am so excited to wear it for the wedding!
I will definitely go back and recommend her to others. She works with your schedule, is professional and doesn’t overcharge. Super sweet woman.

Olga is great! I have used her services twice– both times she was a total professional– garments were returned in great condition, on time and at a great price. She is a joy to work with! Recommend with no reservations!

Olga recently altered my Daughters prom dress. It was actually my prom dress from the late 80’s that for some reason I kept, and my Daughter asked if she could have it.
Olga made the dress new again with my Daughters ideas for changes, and she couldn’t be happier. The dress is perfect and my girl is happy.
Olga was a dream to work with, and we most certainly be returning to her for future projects!

Olga is the Jesus of sewing. After my first visit with her I got engaged and needed some alterations for my wedding gown. Just altering the length and getting a bustle. Hearing horror stories about how much alterations can go into the hundreds. (which they can) I spent a moderate $ 140 bucks. WOW! :)
On a side note, my mom purchased a dress for my wedding, and the store measured and ordered her in a size 23! Really… WTF!?! She’s only a size 12 PETITE! Olga once again came to the rescue and made my mom’s disaster dress into a great fit for her.
A million times I would recommend Olga for anything and every special garment you need help with. :)

Needed to have a raincoat’s sleeves shortened before catching a plane to the East Coast and Olga was able to do it while I waited; less than ten minutes.
Fast, accessible, and I will definitely return with more projects for her!

I wanted to be Deanna from Star Trek, The Next Generation, but there aren’t any costumes for her out there. I came to Olga with a picture and an idea and she made me the perfect dress for Halloween. She was fast, creative and reasonably priced. I am planning on calling her today to start on a pile of clothing that has been on my «to fix list» forever.
Olga is now working out of her house in El Granada. She has an amazing sewing studio!

I’ve been going to Olga for years now.
I find her very friendly, reasonable and she does great work.
She has altered many pants and dresses for me with great results.
Olga adds her critique to a dress and gives it a new life.
She also makes clothes, custom made~
*Olga has moved, her Studio is in El Granada now.
(This is just 10 minutes north of Half Moon Bay)

So so very happy to have discovered Olga! Now I have a reliable, reasonable and personable tailor. She is amazing. She altered my bridesmaid dress and made me love it.
When I had a tailor closer to my home pin the dress I was not thrilled at the fitting, she was going to charge me $ 150 and had a terrible attitude so couldn’t leave my dress with her. Another bridesmaid told me about Olga and after my pinning with her I loved how the dress looked. She also went to extra lengths to address my concerns and giving me other ideas on altering the dress. It couldn’t have turned out more lovely, was VERY reasonable and only took a week.
I totally recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
