Bobi’s Tailoring

I come here for most of my tailoring/​altering needs and they all do such a great job. It’s a little messy in there but if they can work around it and find your things, I’m not hating. Everyone is different. The owner is a sweet lady who gets me in and out within a couple of minutes. I like that!
My fiancé drops off his wide shirts to get them taken in and every one of them look and fit great! If you need a rushed service, just ask them if it’s possible and they’ll tell you what’s up. I love coming here because they are not too far from where I live and it’s also right off the freeway.

Bobi’s Tayloring has been here for decades. I’ve come here all my life. The cost to mend my pants is 7 bucks each not like other places in dry cleaners and in big malls where they try to get you for 10 dollars a pant. It’s the perfect hole in the wall. You have to park at the parking lot above and take the stairs down. What’s a little exercise.

On 10÷02÷15 I took a dress into the store with my fingers crossed. I had a ball gown that had lots of little details and it was something that I was going to wear for the Marine Corps Ball on 11÷13÷15. I asked if it was even possible for them to do the dress because there was so much detail and they said yes of course it was no problem at all. Cool.
The had me try on the dress, stuck their pins and needles into it and gave me my price estimate of$ 120 and that was okay with me because like I said there was a lot of detail and I just wanted the job done right. They gave me a PROMISE date of 10÷25÷15 a full 3 weeks later. On 10÷25÷15 I called to see if my dress was ready… calling and calling and calling, no answer. I looked online and they aren’t even open on Sunday’s!!! Who gives a promise date for a day your store is ALWAYS closed? Whatever I realize there’s noting I can do about it so I go into the store the next morning 10÷26÷15 and had them my ticket. They’re moving piles and piles of clothes around and once they finally find it and bring it out to me they go to ring me up and thankfully I looked at the dress because they hadn’t done a single thing to my dress! All of the pins were still in the same place, when I brought it up asking what work they did because it looked as if it hadn’t even been touched all she had to say was «oh…come back in two days and I’ll have it ready. «
Needless to say I took my dress then and there and I’m not going back.

Bobi is one of the sweetest persons on this planet. She is gentle kind and honest! What more can you ask for;(Besides doing a great job of Tailoring, and not charging a fortune for it.) Yes, her studio may seem cluttered to most, but she seems to know where everything is!
thank you Bobi for being such an awesome person,. and secondly, a great Tailor!

Terrible place. When I’m trying on my trousers with store’s dressing shoes, I was stuck by a needle inside one of the shoes. After my wife told them about this incident, the tailor never apologize.
They also missed the promised day for pick up. Again, no apology. Not sure why anyone should come here again when these unprofessional ladies treat us like shit. If you have to come, bring your own shoes.

Never coming here again! Dropped my dress off to get some alterations. The lady working said she couldn’t give me a price and had to wait for the owner to determine a price. ok?! So I dropped it off and called back to get the pricing. 4 calls! Each time «owner not here, you call back in hour» each time I called back the owner was not available. My final call I demanded to get a quote or I would be picking up my dress. Finally they quoted me $ 50. Ok fine. The lady told me to pick the dress up on Saturday ⁷⁄₁₁ after originally dropping it off on ⁷⁄₆. So Saturday & Monday I couldn’t pickup so here I am on Tuesday-​ready to pickup. The dress is still hanging up with pins still in it!!! The owner says the lady tried to call me to have me re try the dress on… WRONG! No one called me! I was furious! The owner promised she would have it done the next day but I declined and requested my dress back. I’m not going to waste another day on this place!
Move on and find another tailor.

This place is a mess. I dropped off two pairs of pants a week ago and was told they would be ready by the following Monday. I arrived on Tuesday and as they searched through the piles of clothes, I looked at the pile in front of me on the counter. And there they were sitting under other people’s clothes. Not professional, never coming back.

Don’t waste your time going here. I will never come back. Where do I begin? I went there and the main lady was very rude to me the entire time. She demanded 50% of the money upfront which I paid but she was rude about it. Then I went to pick up the clothes, and the pants on the hanger not even folded properly so now they are wrinkled. In addition, she throws my jacket on the floor on a bag that is dirty and all of that dirt got on the suit. Unacceptable!
I told her I have an interview tomorrow, she could’ve done a much better job him when my clothes. It’s not that hard to actually put the pants properly on a hanger. Everybody’s else’s clothes appeared to be on hangers and looked good except for mine. Now I am scrambling at the last minute trying to get my clothes in good shape. It takes an extra second just to make sure the clothes are on the hanger probably next time I will go to a place who cares more about this stuff. Very disappointed.

Great potential! They do it old school here and no cards (sorry, cash only– I learned the hard way… Twice). They couldn’t find my husbands pants, which didn’t surprise me when I looked around the piles of clothes they had lying around. Eventually they found it, but it makes me anxious thinking about going back and trusting them with extremely expensive valuables that I need alternated. Maybe I’ll try them again in the future, but for now I’m okay with trying other shops to fill my needs.
Tips:
–cash only
–it’s downstairs and no elevator
–keep your slip and ask for the name of the person that took your clothes just in case

Found a diamond in the rough! Bob is so polite and super cool! Love her! She is working on some clothes for my dog! She is number #1 in my book!

Got a simple dress tailored here once. It cost $ 17 which was actually more than the dress lol. Can’t complain though because she made it absolutely the way I wanted it to be. My friend went to pick up my dress and she wasn’t ready. Said to come back in 2 hours and 2 hours later, all set! Just call in before you pick your clothes up as a reminder for her.

I almost don’t want to tell anyone about her because she’s fantastic and I hate waiting to get my stuff altered by her. I wear suits everyday and she’s altered about 7 suits for me and close to 20 buttoned shirts. I see a couple of reviews complaining that she charges a lot. I know her prices are definitely slightly below going rate for suits. Overall I would echo the other comments here and say that she does fantastic work for a reasonable cost. Some things to consider when you go see her.
1. Bring cash.
2. Try on your clothes before you leave. If you’re not happy, you should tell her. However, once you leave the shop you can’t complain. Maybe bring a friend to the store to give you a second opinion?
3. Beware: Once you realize that tailored clothing makes you look 10x better you’ll have everything tailored and well… it can get expensive.

Bobi is awesome and does a great job for a reasonable price! If you need scout patches, go to Bobi.

This tailoring shop is good, but you have to be specific with what alterations you need. Make sure you get your precise measurements and try on your altered items when you pick up.
The store is a bit messy, and the fitting rooms dark with not-​so-​clean looking carpets, but I get my alterations done right every time.
They charge slightly more than other tailoring places and you can easily spend $ 70-​$ 100 for 5 – 6 items. CASH ONLY folks, so come pick up your items prepared.

I really liked what she did to my dress, but I thought it was very pricey… I just asked her to shorten bottom of my dress and she charged me 18 dollars. errrr. makes me want to learn sewing as my hobby. jk :)
But the lady did a good job so not going to complain much :)

Bobi is the best person to go to if you need anything altered. I always take my jeans over and she has never made them to short or kept them too long. I even took my prom dress to her a few years ago and she took it in so that it fit like a glove. Also, she has fixed zippers on the fly of a pair of jeans. Be ready to try on your clothing item in front of a full body mirror so that she can pin and measure what she needs to alter.
Her shop does seem a little scary because there are clothes EVERYWHERE but don’t let this mislead you. She completes her projects in a timely fashion. It has happened once when I went to pick up a pair of pants and they had not been completed yet. This is not any reason for me to give her less than 5 stars though because she discounted the price for me when I came back to pick them up AND she did a great job.
I would never go anywhere else for alterations because she is great at what she does and the prices are fantastic! Look out, she is CASH ONLY.
There is always parking up in the lot above the shop.

Very NiCe, SUper fast and great at their job!
We will be back

Yes, the alterations are great. I used to bring all my items here.
That is, until I saw a giant (as in, at least 2 inches long) cockroach fall from the ceiling. I don’t care how good the alterations are. If your shop has a cockroach that is brave enough to make an appearance in broad daylight, you know there are hundreds more of them waiting in the wings.

I am just shy of 28 yrs old and have been coming to Bobi’s since I can remember. My family has been coming here to get clothes tailored for years. My mom and I are both short so we can never just buy a pair of pants and wear them. Instead, we take them straight to Bobi’s.
Just so you know what you will be walking into…
This is a small shop on the side of Mira Mesa Blvd where you take the long staircase down to get to to shop entrance. The place is covered wall to wall with clothes. I honestly have no idea how the clothes are organized, but somehow it works. Dont be worried by the appearance, they will do an excellent job. You go try on your clothes in one of the two dressing rooms (with POS hangers to try to hang stuff on). Then you come out and stand on the block in front of the mirror and Bobi does her magical measurements. She give you a slip to tell you when to pick up the clothes and BAM! That’s it.
One important note — this place is CASH ONLY! So be prepared or hit up the ATM at the bank up above.
Bobi’s is so inexpensive and they do great work. I laugh anytime I have a friend who gets a dress tailored at a dress store (ahem…Alfred Angelo) and pay waaayyyyy too much. I got a bridesmaids dress tailored for $ 25 here. Beat that massive chain stores!

I read about Bobbi on Unilocal first, then decided to go there based upon the reviews.
Bobbi made my wedding dress alterations perfectly. She changed a tea-​length, poofy David’s Bridal dress into my sleek, above the knee wedding dress. She is wonderful. She listened, measured and re-​measured, and did exactly what I asked. The fit was perfect.
She can run behind, as other reviews have noted, the shop can look crazy, as other reviews have noted. But who can argue with great prices and great results.
Yay Bobbi’s Tailoring!
