Essy’s Tailoring & Clothier

I went to Essy’s to shorten a bridesmaid dress because of their good reviews. The dress only needed an inch or two from the length. We spent some time measuring the dress and I was impressed with the guy’s attention at the time. I took a photo for reference to send the bride. Everything was set and we were happy to pick up in 3 weeks. I went back to pick up the dress and it was nearly 2 inches shorter than we measured. Photos prove it but the guy was so adamant that the cut was what we measured. I didn’t grow 2 inches in 3 weeks and now the dress was above my knees instead of right below. Luckily the dress doesn’t look bad but it’s definitely not what I requested. I paid $ 52 and have no way to fix it since there isn’t any material saved underneath the hem. Advice: Their hem work is well done but make sure you leave some length. You can always cut more but once it’s gone, there’s no fixing it.

I got my prom dress tailored from Essy’s– and overall I believe I was ripped off. I needed a hem and some adjustments on the sleeves, not complicated work at all and was charged $ 102. My dress did fit well after the alterations, but their price definitely exceeds what they should be charging. Don’t think I will be coming here again.

I’ve taken all my bridesmaid dresses here. And when I got married myself, I went straight to Essy’s. The owner made sure I felt comfortable in my dress and we did two fitting to ensure we got it just right. I am extremely happy with my wedding dress and would recommend Essy’s for all clothing.

My husband and I used this shop for our wedding attire, and couldn’t be more pleased! His prices are extremely reasonable, and he is a wealth of knowledge! He did awesome work on my wedding dress and my husband’s suit.

Purchased three Ermenegildo Zegna suits from the Livermore Outlet mall and was recommended by the store to get alternations done at Essy’s. This was a mistake! They butchered my suits. For instance, on one of my suits, they sewed the buttons on the sleeves through to the inner lining. I showed it to the shop owner and he made an excuse saying that they realized that the buttons had to go on after the sleeve was lengthened. I had him redo it again — the stitching was still very sloppy on the second iteration.
When I came into the shop it was around prom season time; perhaps they are good at that but in terms of men’s apparel, they are far from professionals. Stay away!

Two shirts and pants (hemming) came out to 95 $
When I first called them for a quote, the person answering quoted me $ 8 for a shirt, which I thot was a phenomenal deal. The shirts ended up costing me $ 40 each.
Worst case it was a ploy to get me in the door. Best case an honest mistake.
One shirt also didn’t turn out well and I had to toss it.

I brought my bridesmaids dress in two weeks before the wedding and Essy had it pinned up and ready to be tailored in minutes. I asked that it be completed it one week. Not only was it ready when I went back in a week later to pick it up but it was beautifully altered. I would highly recommend any alterations to Essy. Friendly, quick and polite. Two thumbs way up!

Great place for alterations. Had to get a pair of dress slacks done with a 24 hr turnaround. It required hem and to have the waist taken out a bit. They took care of it without a hitch. Would have given 5 stars but it was a bit pricey compared to my usual tailor. Still I would recommend this store. Very professional.

I got my prom dress altered here and it was amazing! My dress was way too lose around my stomach and armpit area, and he fixed it up perfectly. You can’t even tell that it’s altered, it looks flawless. I’m so happy with it! My alterations costed about $ 50, but it was worth it to get a dress to fit me perfectly. My dress was originally from
and I got it for only $ 80. So in total, I remained in budget for my prom dress! So excited for prom this year! He’s so nice! I would recommend this place for anyone.

A man’s clothing can tell you a lot about himself. I could see that from Rasuli; very well dressed, trimmed and fit, but not too fit. A gentleman in every regard. If there’s something to look from out of your tailor, it’s how well they dress. Rasuli provides smart advice when it comes to his work. If you bring in an article of clothing and all you know is that it doesn’t fit correctly, Rasuli will know exactly how to tailor it to give you that $ 1000 suit look, no matter how much you paid for it. He is my go to tailor in the east bay.

This place is great!
Any time that I walk into the store, I am greet almost immediately. The staff here treat everybody with respect. I have never gone into the store and found an unhappy customer.
All of the alterations that I have gotten (suits, snowboarding clothes, etc.) have been taken care of flawlessly. They will take care of pretty much everything you can throw at them.
I would 100% recommend this location for everybody.

Top notch service AND work. Never going to another tailor again! I don’t recommend last minute tailoring, but they did alter my bridesmaid dress in two days and it fit like a dream

I wear a suit on a daily basis and I hate getting it tailored as soon as I buy it because of the time it takes and the measurement are usually done by the retail salesperson and not the tailor. It’s very difficult to find independent tailors in today’s world, especially one with talent.
Essy’s is the place to go. I visited them with my son and we were greeted by the friendliest lady I have ever met. She was extremely jovial, friendly without being over the top, and so responsive. I told her what I was there for, she brought out the owner of the shop (sorry I struggled to remember his name, but it is an elongated version of Essy). I took in 7 suits that needed «special accommodations» because of my job and they didn’t even flinch.
The considered everything and made poignant observations and recommendations. I accepted their input and it worked out great. They had some beautiful shirts in stock and he custom tailored them for me.
Great job!

I took my wedding dress here to get altered. They took in the waist, added boning and cups, tightened the top sewed in a belt and added a bustle. It fit great and made it truly mine. all the alterations only cost about $ 200
We also had my husbands shirt fitted here as well as my bridesmaid and husbands mothers dress.
I would recommend any bride to be to anyone just needing some alterations in the east bay to consider Essy’s.
Quick, reliable, great work and great pricing.
The only thing i wish they would have done was add 2 bustle hooks. It was raining on my wedding day and the one hook was not strong enough for my soaking wet train. It kept falling off the loop, but I have some great friends who figured out a fix for the time needed.
Thanks again for everything

Rude, condescending, attitude, horrible customer service. Walked in brought a dress in asked what the cost was and I mentioned I was quoted something else for a simple hem and he laughed and said why don’t you go there give me the number I’ll send business there too. I was like damn ! This guy could have simply explained the situation and I woulda been fine wt the cost and etc. Never again. Thank you but no thanks. How about you learn how to treat your customers.

They were able to take care of me in a time of need. A+++

I gave them another shot. They have redeemed themselves.
Pants were the correct length.

I’m getting married Saturday (!) and unfortunately had some challenges getting in an alteration with my original seamstress in time before my wedding. Naturally, I panicked and called a number of Bay Area seamstresses who were all booked and luckily found Essy’s through my Mom’s recommendation.
I called and spoke with Rasuli– he was very understanding, listened to my needs and was able to accommodate me on short notice. I came in the next day and he advised what he thought was best to fix my dress. What I liked most was that Rasuli made me feel very comfortable, he was very professional yet personable, and he took control of the situation to make sure I had my dress back for when I needed it. This place seems like a busy spot but Rasuli understood my concerns and the urgency to get my dress back.
I returned today to pick my dress up and it fit PERFECT. Rasuli even waited until after I tried on my dress to see how I liked it and made some quick adjustments that made it fit even better while I waited. This guy loves to sew, wants to make sure you’re satisfied, and provided excellent customer service and understood the urgency of the situation (which is important in a case like this)!
I was impressed with Rasuli and am very thankful I found him. I’d definitely return again in the future! Thanks Rasuli!

I bring dresses and pants to be tailored here but what I love is that he is able to redesign an item I bring in. Bring in that not so current dress or pants and come up with ideas to make it interesting. He will make it look amazing!

I bought a jacket/​dress for my wedding and took it here. Before I took it here I thought there was no way to make it look as good as we imagined. He tailored it exactly how we wanted it!!! He was patient, kind, artistic, positive, amazing and his attention to detail is amazing!
Now that I saw him do something that I thought could never be done, I plan to take all of my clothes here!
