Sun Alteration & Tailoring

I’m a Costume Designer /​Wardrobe Stylist working for Commercials and Music Videos.
I have been taking my Production Alterations here, and Esther always gets the job done in time w high quality finish.
She is excellent with Mens Suit and Dresses.
She’s not the cheapest Alteration Service around, but The Quality of the work is excellent.
Highly Recommended.

Omg! Finally I found the right place to go to for my dresses and other fine garments.
Esther did a wonderful job for my Kate Spade dresses.
Thank you thank you!!!

Just picked up a jacket I had altered today. The alterations were finished when promised, on budget, and the workmanship exceeded my expectations. In addition to «taking in» a rather boxy jacket, Esther gave the jacket some contour/​much needed shape. It fits beautifully. Esther took lots of time and was careful to ask my opinion when pinning the jacket. I highly recommend Sun Alteration & Tailoring.

It pains me to write such a low review, but it has been five months since my experience here and I continue to feel greatly cheated.
After all of the high reviews, I came here with my wedding dress. The dress has one lace layer over the basic silk layer. Due to the two layers of fabric, she charged me what it would take to take in 2 dresses — $ 300. Since I read the reviews, I assumed the dress would be expensive to tailor, but that I would receive excellent work.
This woman is an excellent seamstress, but great customer service is not her priority. I came with my wedding dress a little over two months before my wedding. I told her that I would be back in town two weeks before my wedding. She took my measurements, and called me when it was finished. I gave her $ 100 in advance. I came to pick up my dress the day after I flew into town for the wedding.
Under wedding stress, I had lost about 10 lbs. She refused to acknowledge that it didn’t fit well. The dress was obviously big. You could see three inches of my bra (same bra used during the fitting). Additionally, I had told her that I wanted the to be shortened in the front so I wouldn’t trip on my wedding day. She insisted that she didn’t shorten it because it wasn’t in style right now. She told me to hold my arms down during my wedding day to not show my bra, and that it was my fault because it wasn’t the one I tried on originally. She wouldn’t fix the dress again. She wouldn’t let me leave without paying for the dress. I walked out with a dress that was both too big and too long two weeks before my wedding day, short a total of $ 300.
Luckily I found another tailor who graciously completed the dress in a week, and saved my bra from appearing in all my wedding photos.

My daughter ordered a formal dress for a cruise, which was on sale but not returnable. When it showed up and was way too large, we were disappointed. We took it to Sun Alterations and Esther worked magic on the gown. She knew the tricks to make the strapless dress looks great… perfect job. My daughter is so happy to have her beautiful dress fit so well.

Esther did an AMAZING job altering my maid of honor dress. The dress came to me three sizes too big. Esther took a look at it and altered the bodice, straps, hem, and waist. Nipping and tucking until it fit like a glove. I highly recommend her shop.

I’ve been coming here for all my clothes for several years now. Every time, she does an excellent job with all of them, my dress, jacket, pants, shirts, and everything! I have to admit that it is not cheap though. Every job she does is professional! Thank you so much for everything Esther! :D

WOW! I brought in a nice tweed jacket I purchased from Jcrew and needed it tapered and a button fixed. This was the first time I ever had anything tailored so I was a bit worried about it. However after reading the reviews I decided to give it a shot. I went in they took a look at my jacket on me and figured out how much it should be taken in. It was pretty quick. When I came back to pick it up, she wanted me to try it on to make sure it was perfect. Wow it was seriously perfect, like GQ magazine perfect. This being the first tailored anything I’ve owned my mind was blown away, seriously. She did an amazing job and the button she fixed will undoubtedly stay on that jacket forever (really robust stitching). I will certainly bring my other jackets and anything else I want tailored, knowing they’ll knock it out of the park!!!

I have a 50s vintage style dress that I needed to have hemmed for a special banquet. I was very nervous in choosing any alteration business in fear it would not be done right and exactly the way I wanted. After reading many reviews and countless internet searches, I finally chose Sun Alteration and Tailoring. Still with fear and doubts I brought my dress to Esther and she knew right away what style of dress it was, listened to me as I explained what I wanted and how I wanted it to look. She provided a few options for length and I chose to have 8 inches taken off.
After leaving and thinking about the look I was going for with the dress, I called Esther right away and explained to her that I wanted to have ⁶¹⁄₂ inches taken off instead. Again fear built in that something was not going to go right with the alteration. Boy she proved me wrong! When I went to go pick it up, I tried it on and low and behold she did exactly what I wanted and the dress was done to perfection down to every stitch! I am so very happy with the results. Simply beautiful. Just as she estimated what the cost would be, that’s exactly what she charged me… no more, no less. I highly recommend her and I will be going back without any hesitation! Thank you Esther!

Esther does a beautiful job for all of my clothes and doesn’t claim to have more than 20 years of experience for nothing! She gets the job done with a high level of expertise AND quickly, so you’ll get the clothes back ASAP with great quality results. Best of all, the prices are fair, if not cheap! I definitely recommend Sun Alterations for any of your tailoring needs.

Excellent alterations.
I lost some weight and needed my suits extensively tailored. Each pantsuit cost about $ 80 to $ 90 to get sized to fit. This included the waist, hem, sleeves with buttons, and jacket waist down to a perfect fit. The pants did require a 3 point alteration in most cases (sides and back) so there was a bit of work to do and when a pair was still a little loose, she made further alterations with no complaint.
The end result was perfect but certainly not cheap.

Esther is AMAZING!!! Years ago I bought a gorgeous black formal dress. When I dug it out for a wedding last weekend, it was waaaay too small. Like, could not breathe too small. I brought it here after reading the other reviews and explained that I needed it altered within 3 days! And due to the complexity of the runching around the bust, I knew it would be hard. She NAILED it. It was ready on time and it looks amazing and is so comfortable! She basically had to rip the side open, make adjustments to all the boning, replicate the fabric (no idea how she found such a good match), runch it, and make sure it fell perfectly. I will always bring my stuff to her now!

I live in NY (work in the fashion industry) and save all of my alteration needs to bring to Sun Alteration & Tailoring when I am visiting LA. Esther’s attention to detail and understanding of how garments move/​work is what really sets her apart from the other tailors I have taken my garments to. Great prices too! Highly recommend.

Wonderful job she did with my suits and jeans.
Highly recommended!
I am coming back for all my clothes.
It’s worth every penny.

Esther is a real doll. aside from that, she is very good at her work, very meticulous. ive been to other tailors in the past and they’ve performed decent work. However, when I took the chance at having Esther tailor some very delicate materials for me, she didn’t disappoint. I was very impressed with her work and promptness. Her prices are very comparable and reasonable. I have been back to her 3 times since, and will continue in the future.

Recently went in to get the alteration done on my daughter’s wedding dress.
Esther (Owner) was very pleasant to deal with. The shop is not flashy but you will get the impression that things will get done RIGHT when you walk in. Everything was done perfectly, extremely happy with the service. I will be going back definitely in the future.

I get all my pants tailored here, and recently got my suit tailored as well. I always trust Esther, the tailor there, to know exactly what to do with my clothes.
The suit I needed tailored needed to be rushed, and she did it with no problem no complaints. I was a little worried because it was such a short notice, 2 days, but she did it excellently. I always go to her for all my clothes.

I always take my clothes to Esther to be altered. she does a wonderful job, and very professional. My furs to pair of jeans. Even though she is little far from where I live, I don’t mind driving extra miles to have my clothes done right.
