Liz & David’s Alterations & Tailoring

I had a curtain that was in one big piece and I brought it in and asked for it to be cut into two. I very specifically told them one window is bigger than the other (actually, it is french doors and there is an additional small window on one side), so i said i want one side of the curtain to be 2 feet wider than the other. The lady seemed to understand this; she wrote it on my receipt. Yet i have no idea how this was misinterpreted. When i got my curtains back, they were indeed cut into two uneven pieces, but one side was MUCH wider than the other, like maybe 5 feet. Then i wondered if they misunderstood and thought one side should be two TIMES wider than the other… but no, it is not. It appears they just cut it some random way, I cannot make any sense of what they did. They did not completely ruin my curtains, they still look ok. But i would NOT recommend taking a wedding dress or something of that importance here! If they cut it wrong, there’s no reversing it! I realize there can be a communication gap when describing what you want… this is a warning to beware of that!

Awesome alterations. Liz is a sweetheart!

Expert alterations. Friendly, professional service. Done on time. Will come back again and again, you should too.

This is one of the best places for alterations in the whole city. i could not recommend it more. Her attention to detail and timing is fantastic. Whenever i need something done quickly she is always more than happy to accommodate. I have had jeans, sweats, board shorts, jackets and dress shirts all altered there, every time they do a fantastic job. I could not be happier with their work. Thank you!

Ayn did a beautiful job on two wool coats. I had the sleeves & length shortened & you couldn’t even tell it wasn’t the original stitching. Ayn is so sweet & friendly too. Everything was finished by the date she promised me!

Top-​notch alterations and always with a smile.
My new spot. Stoked on finding her. Has a hand for detail, fair pricing, and always gets it done fast if I need it. On top of all that, she is a cool gal, always sparks a fun and positive conversation.

Ann was fantastic! She was so nice over the phone when I called about fixing my wedding dress last minute. She did a fantastic job! I bought my dress at white flower boutique and the alteration people they told me to go to in la jolla were not so accommodating and probably no near as hard working and talented as Ann was. Thank you so much Ann for helping me feel great in my dress!!!

Liz is fantastic. Always very friendly and helpful. She’s done a wonderful job on all of my alterations.

Ahn has been tailoring clothing for my family for at least 15 years and I have never been disappointed. In fact, my husband and sons would prefer having Ahn repair a pair of jeans or shorts rather than buy new ones. She has skillfully fixed any alteration problem or challenge that we have presented to her over the years, from simple repairs to complex. My Goddaughter needed a dress for her sister’s wedding several years back and was having a difficult time finding the right dress… she was 8 months pregnant and wanted something modest, but cool, simple, and stylish. Well, she called Ahn with only a few weeks to the wedding and Ahn came through with a gorgeous dress that fit perfectly and was perfect for the occasion… her own design. Recently, I took her a pair of pants that had been my son’s – kelley green, an AmVet find used as part of a St. Patrick’s Day costume. My son passed away almost 2 years ago and I wanted to use the pants in some way to keep them close to me. The pants were nothing special (Tommy Hilfiger), but they represented something my son loved – dressing up for parties, and shopping at Am Vets, things he liked to do since he was very young. Well, in one hour, she made a great bag from the pants. It is like a satchel with a long shoulder strap that could be used as a large purse, something to carry groceries in, a swim bag; I will used the bag for all these purposes and more, I’m sure. It really is simple, but classy and useful. I suggest taking a cool pair of your favorite worn jeans in to her and have her re-​purpose them into a purse. I have seen her make designer-​like dresses sewn from fabric remnants, using her own very creative styles. I think girls looking for a special dress for a dance, prom or other special event should go to her, tell her exactly what you want, and have her make your clothing – save yourself shopping time and money – she can create anything and tailor and design it just for you.

Anh is truly and artist! My husband is very particular about how his clothes fit and she has been able to tailor everything he’s brought her perfectly! She is friendly and smiley and a pleasure to work with. Recently my husband has been buying high quality suits in the garment district in LA and Anh tailors them and essentially creates a bespoke suit for around $ 100. The entire suits are fitted and tailored by her. I highly recommend her talents to ANYONE looking for a perfect fit!

Liz has done several random projects for me all came out great. She modified a racing suit made out of fireproof material to fit better, then also modified a pair of white and a pair of black pants split down the middle then halves swapped to create half black and half white pants. Super accessible too. Thanks Liz!

Anh did an amazing job with my dress! She was very pleasant to deal with and my dress only took a few weeks! :) I was very happy with my results!

I don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews, but my experience needs to be shared.
I took two pairs of jeans as well as some dress pants in to be fixed by Ann. For the jeans, I asked for a simple hemming job, which Ann was able to do and do well. However my rating is based off of what was done to my dress pants.
I had these great brown wool dress pants that I loved. The only problem was they were a little bit baggy and long. I asked for Ann to hem them as well as slim the pants from the legs on down and taper at the bottom. I put on the pants, she pinned them, and I left the shop. I picked up the pants in a few days and when I got them home they were ruined. They bunched up at my knee, and were so tight around my calves that I could barely get them on. They didn’t look like dress pants anymore, at all.
I took them back and asked that they be fixed, she did what she could to let out the seems but the damage was done and the pants still looked ridiculous.
If you’re a guy and you need something more complicated than a hem job done, I would pass on this place. Go to a real tailor, not a sewing shop that says tailor on the outside. I learned my lesson.

I had been contemplating purchasing a few new suits with a much skinnier fit than the suits I’ve been wearing over the past few years. Obviously purchasing a few new skinny suits would have been a pretty large investment, so I decided to bring one of my suits to Ann to get custom fitted and see how it turned out.
I couldn’t have been happier with the way my first suit alteration turned out. The number of compliments I’ve received while wearing it after the alterations makes me feel like I just bought a brand new suit, but at a fraction of the cost.
Since my first alteration, I’ve brought 3 more suits to Ann to have custom fitted and all of them have turned out perfectly.
Not only is Ann super good at what she does, she’s also very knowledgeable and will provide excellent alteration recommendations based on the look you are going for.
To top it off, she’s extremely friendly and someone I would highly recommend to all of my friends and family.

I have been going here for the last couple of years, Ann is amazing. She is very skilled (education in clothing design), quick, honest and super friendly. She has willing done multiple alterations when I have shown up needing something the next day. And it’s always perfect. I have referred a number of friends and clients and they all say the same thing. They also do dry cleaning. If your looking for a place you can take your stuff with confidence, take it to Ann

WOW! Ann saved my wedding dress! I went to see Ann about letting out my wedding dress… yes, bigger… It was a 2-​piece dress with really not enough material to let even an inch out on the waist. Rather than going the conventional method, Ann suggested an alternative (that’s a secret) and it WORKED!
Ann is a MIRACLE worker with a wedding dress. Not only did she get it fixed for me in half the time that a labeled «wedding alteration» shop normally takes, but also at a fraction of the price. I’m married now and will not be needing any wedding dress alterations, but I would definitely go back to her for all other alteration needs. She is just the sweetest person with a lovely aura. Makes you feel good to be around her and her work just makes you look good.

Took two pairs to jeans to get hemmed here, dropped them off Monday afternoon and picked them up on Thursday. They were satisfactorily hemmed at $ 8 each.
This place was fine, not mind blowing, but I’ll likely return next time I need jeans hemmed.

I am still new to the world of tailored clothing. It was only a year or so ago when I realized tailors are not just for suits. I’ve been amazed with Anh’s work, so far I’ve brought her suit pants, jacket, dress slacks, and a pair of jeans that I just picked up today and am wearing while I write this review. Every article of clothing I’ve brought her has been altered exactly as specified, and has always been ready when promised. Her prices have been very fair, especially for the quality of work she provides. I’ve never been less than completely satisfied and look forward to continue bringing her my business.

I absolutely love Ann. She does an amazing job for great pricing. I had to get a bridesmaid dress tailored… along with 10 other bridesmaids. I took my dress to Ann. She took great care by adding darting here and moving rhinestones there. She tailored my dress so well, I was the only one in the wedding party that looked like my dress was made for me. Even the bride’s dress was a little off.
She could even make a dress from my chicken scratch drawings. If you are interested in simple resizing or precise tailoring for a big event, I highly recommend Liz & David’s in PB.

I visit here at least twice a month for the family I nanny for. Anh can do anything from elastic in bathing suits, buttons on expensive jackets, zippers on purses, and she’s the best at girl scout patches too!
I always check out the beautiful formal gowns that she’s working on, her bead work is awesome!
If it’s something simple she can usually fix it on the spot if you have a few minutes to wait. AND there’s a nail salon & a bar right next door to boot!
I’m usually in no hurry to get my things back, drop off on Monday, pick up on Friday :)
