Maggie’s Alterations

I would like to say Maggie is the most wonderful person. She is a 27 year veteran A+ service all around place u should visit.

I needed a dress altered quickly for an unexpected event. I dropped it off at 3pm on a Thursday and it was ready by 4pm on Friday. They did a fantastic job! Highly recommend!

Maggie is kind, fast, and cuts a good suit. She had my two piece and a shirt altered and fit to my form days before the time I gave her. Legs, coat, waste she did it all, and did it all well.

Simply put, Maggie is a wizard. For an upcoming friend’s wedding, I sat on my hands a bit on buying a new suit and when I finally did, I needed some very last minute tailoring on the whole get-​up — pants, jacket, vest. Not only is Maggie quick, she’s the reason I’ll be looking fabulous. She’s super skilled and has great intuition to help figuring out exactly where to tune things up. And as icing on the cake, she’s just a delightful person.

My daughter is twelve and is between misses and girl sizes.
Maggie did an amazing job taking in the bust and adding sleeves to a sleeveless dress for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. The sleeves looked exactly like part of the dress. The added material was sheer and the seams were neat and absolutely perfect. She also suggested some beading which she added at the bottom of the sleeves. The beading added just the right touch. She was friendly and she had the dress ready timely. I would recommend her to all my friends.

Maggie did a fabulous job on my mother in law’s dress for my wedding! Quick turn around and a wonderful sewing job!

I called at least 6 places and Maggie had the best prices (to hem pants). I then looked at her reviews and they were very good. I brought several pairs of pants and jeans to her. She not only did a great job but she was fast. She even called to let me know she was done. I’m bringing more pants to her today!

The best at what she does. Was in a wedding and needed some last minute changes for my rump anywho Maggie’s magical and I will return. I highly recommend her.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! I wish I could give zero stars!!! Never in my life have I had such a terrible experience. I called wanting to know how soon a evening dress could be altered… knowing it is last minute I called around. The owner was so rude over the phone I told her I would not take her the dress she hung up on me. I received a call a few minutes later, she called to apologize stating she was very tired. I decided to take her the dress as it takes a lot of courage to call back and apologize… BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER! I dropped off the dress she told me she would call me when it’s ready later on that day. I never received a call. I called the following morning she said it’s ready come pick up. My friend was on the way to get the dress when I received a call from her only 10 minutes later saying she can not sit around waiting for me. I had my friend rearrange the time for it to be convenient for Maggie to go get the dress. When I got the dress I was so mad as the dress was long on one side and short on the other. The hem was not even and the lining showed. I called her after the event to have her fix the dress… She told me to take it back to her when I got there she agreed to fix it I told her I would pick up at 5:30 after work she told me to go to hell and she is too busy for me. She asked me to go at 2. Considering te fact she ruined the dress I was baffled at her demands. I told her I could come no earlier than 5:30 she throw the dress in my face and said she was too sick to deal with me. I told her I would file a complaint for the way she was treating me she said she would pay for the dress and asked me to leave. When I told her the exact price of the dress she began to curse at me screaming. I left the dress and told her to fix it. I came to get it at 5:30 and she gave me the dress with a very rude manor… keep in mind the dress was still altered very poorly. At this point I was so tired of dealing with her I just left. Anyone who is reading this… please do yourself a favor and find someone else to alter your clothing. THIS LADY IS RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL, UNPROFESSIONAL, AND TERRIBLE AT HER JOB. STAY AWAY!

EVERYONE IGNORE THE RUDE COMMENTS!!!
Maggie is great! She was a referral from Men’s Warehouse and I couldn’t be happier. I brought my wedding dress to her and she had to take it in 3 – 4 sizes, and did it perfectly. She is such a kind and gentle lady with a side of spice, and I love it. I WILL be back for any other pieces to alter.
Thanks Maggie!!!

I am shocked at the negative reviews and comments about Maggie… she has done a fantastic job with everything I’ve given her! She is a sweet lady who treats me with kindness and respect. She is also very accommodating with appointment times (sometimes even making the long drive from her home to the shop just for me), which is a big deal to me. I had a dress hemmed to perfection once, but because the material was heavy, it was too long after a few wearings; she shortened it again for free with a smile. Maggie does do work for big-​name people and events, but treats me the same as everyone else. And, I am neither snobby nor wealthy (as one reviewer put it). She has even done same-​day alterations for me. I have NEVER been dissatisfied with her work or her attitude, in fact, I think she is wonderful (no I am not related and was not paid to write this). I highly recommend Maggie, she’s a gem and does fantastic work!

Extremely RUDE and careless. I went in to drop off materials needed for a project she agreed to do. Materials that she explained were needed weeks after agreeing to do the project. Our clothing items were not hung on the racks, but carelessly left on the dirty floor. She quickly grabbed my bag of materials and looked through with such unenthusiasm and basically acting as someone were forcing her to do this job. I repeatedly asked her if the materials would work and she would say,” I don’t know I don’t know” while giving me a disgruntled look. She would also talk right over me to her coworker in her native language. So rude. At least wait until I leave to talk crap.
When I asked when the job would be finished she almost screamed that she doest know because she has to finish her work, pointing to a rack of clothes. I asked what priority our work was for her being that this has been pending for almost a month. She basically repeated the same thing and said if she doesn’t get to it this week, it’ll be done next week. Again giving me a ton of attitude. We decided not to give her our business and she seemed like she could care less about losing customers.

COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! I asked Maggie to make a tie for me out of a material which I provided. She gave me a quote, told me she can do it. Later in the week I get a call from her telling me that she needs me to provide her additional material like lining and tie interface… Surpsing to me b/​c I would think a professional tailor would have access to such basic materials. Instead she sends me to downtown to a store where I needed to purchase these materials and deliver to her. This back and forth delayed my project by 2 weeks. Her knowledge of actual tie making was VERY LIMITED. She told me she needed electric sissors to do the job (which she didn’t have) when I asked others and people at the downtown store, they laughed at how silly the concept was (any regular sissors will do). When questioned about how she would approach this project, she had no gameplan in mind (maybe glue… maybe press?). Samples of ties which I provided her where scattered on the ground. Disorganized workplace = low effort work. On Monday, after I provided her everything she required, I asked when can I expect this to finally be completed and she told me to call her by the end of the week and she will tell me if she can get to it by Saturday, if not, then MAYBE next week!?? Apparently she told me she had to «do her work,» so I guess I had to assume that my order wasn’t part of «her work» and not important enough. I did not want to wait a month for a job that takes a few hours to do. I picked up my materials and will not be doing business with her ever again.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND Maggie’s Aterations to anyone that cares about their time and quality effort.

I came here a couple months ago to get a dress altered for a wedding. Maggie was very nice and prompt. The dress was done within 24 hours and fit perfectly. This is yet first time I had ever gotten anything altered before so I’m not sure what a decent price is. It was $ 45 to bring in the sides.

She was rude and dismissive regarding my concerns and questions about the alteration. And heads up, she requires cash, which she did not tell me until I came to pick up so had to spend time extra time and money getting cash for her. Disappointed. Was hoping to find a great alterations person in the Valley.
She also did what looks like a really rushed botched job on my pants alteration. They are not even from one leg to another and the hem itself looks off. She mentioned she was going on vacation the following day so maybe she was trying to rush it to get it done but it’s really disappointing because I paid a lot of money for the pants and for the alteration.

I called this alterations place based on the reviews written here. I’ve never had a piece of clothing altered and I wanted to call to see how it worked. These reviews state that this woman is amazing but the woman I spoke to was very rude and wouldn’t give me any information!
Here’s how the conversation went:
Store: hi
Me: um hi is this Maggie’s alterations? I was calling to get some information about maybe getting a dress altered.
Store: yes when you want to come in? Bring dress with you.
Me: is Thursday afternoon ok?
Store: what kind information you want?
Me: well mainly prices. I’ve never had anything altered.
Store: call me later I’m busy now
Then she hung up!
Rude

If I could give Maggie a million stars I would! She is incredible.
I recently took my very heavily beaded Lazaro wedding gown in to be altered. It was much too big for me. Maggie did an AMAZING JOB! You would never even know it had been altered at all. It looks incredible and she was so very fast and so affordable. Not to mention, she’s a lovely, lovely funny woman.
I’m so lucky to have found her and thanks to her I’ll look and feel amazing on my wedding day!
I highly recommend taking any item of clothing needing alterations to her.
Thanks Maggie!!!

Maggie is the best! My roommate and I recently took our bridesmaids dresses in to have altered and she did such an amazing job with them. A dress that was way too big only a few days ago now fits me perfectly. I would definitely recommend going to her. She was friendly, detailed and incredibly fast! Thanks Maggie!

Maggie is AMAZING!!! I brought in a full length ballgown with sequence at 4pm and needed her to make it a short dress before the next morning. By 7pm she had it ready for me to pick up! Prices are great, THIS LADY IS MY SAVIOR! ;-D

Maggie was AMAZING!!! She altered my $ 4000 Pronovias all lace wedding gown that I purchased off the rack and was 6 sizes too big for me and 6 inches too long. I have heard wedding gown alterations horror stories and Maggie made me feel so comfortable right away. The price she quoted me was competitive to other specialists through out LA, and was exactly what I paid (she did not gouge me for «extras»). My dress fits like a glove and does not look like it was altered at all! She did a gorgeous French bustle for me that makes the dress look amazing! I highly recommend her to anyone, especially for a wedding gown. High quality work well worth every penny!!!
