House of Tailoring

Have been using House Of Tailoring for years. I’ve only had positive experiences here. I will continue to bring my clothing for alteration and recommend them (:

Overpriced! SOOOOO not worth the money. While they did deliver on time (I needed a dress altered in 2 business days), the work was subpar, and the bill simply outrageous. The lady who works there isn’t terribly friendly either. I had high hopes and I’m disappointed! Certainly going somewhere else next time.

I found the perfect dress for my wedding… several sizes too big. Because of the work that Ella’s team did, I wore my dream dress! It fit even better than I imagined it could!
The dress has intricate patterns of beading and sequins, so it was not an easy job. In the end, it looked like it was made to fit me!
I came in a couple of times for fittings, which is to be expected with wedding dress alterations. They made all the necessary adjustments, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I just want to clarify that they are lying. I showed up at 5:15 and was NEVER told that they could deliver to my house. In fact, they were extremely unhelpful and unforgiving. Apparently we can add liars to the list. Handle your business and treat customers with respect. Its pretty simple.

They do nice work but they’re incredibly overpriced. I had several pairs of pants hemmed and the legs taken in a little. The cost? $ 90 PER PAIR! Insane if you ask me, nothing my neighborhood dry cleaner couldn’t have done for a fraction of the price. Save your money and go elsewhere.

First of all, I am not «hiding under another name». I use my middle name for privacy reasons as many users on Unilocal do. But thanks for outing me Ella. I would never fabricate a review. Everything I said was true. Ella wasn’t even there to see the dress! The conversation I had was with another seamstress who was there and she definitely did say «some people like it shorter in the back» (makes me laugh just thinking about it). Second of all, NO room was left on the bottom of the dress. And when I brought that up with you, you said «you never told me to leave room». Thirdly, there was no time to do a second fitting because I was leaving for New York the next day (as you already knew). Don’t waste your time or money at this establishment. As you can see from other Unilocal reviews House of Tailoring is extremely unprofessional. I would recommend Anush at La Cienega Alteration & Tailoring a block away. She does great work for a great price.

I just had two pair of suit-​pants tailored last week. I bought them several years ago and the pants were more of a fashion boot-​cut and I wanted them re-​tailored to be more of a straight-​leg pant. I went to House of Tailoring after having a bad customer-​service experience across the street at another tailor/​cleaner (see my past reviews).
House of Tailoring did a good job and it was on time. My only gripes was the price seemed a little high, $ 30 per pant (though the slacks were expensive so this seemed reasonable to restyle these), when they were pinned they looked great but when I tried them on they were probably 75% brought in as much as I had wanted and the way they were pinned, though they stilled looked good and I didn’t have them re-​adjust, and the lady who runs this place is a lot nicer in person than on the phone.

I’m short so majority of the time need to have my pants tailored and finding a good tailor is somewhat a challenge. This place did a really, really great job in the tailoring, with only one but… a bit on the pricey side for chino pants to be hemmed.

I have been going to House of Tailoring for many years and I had never had a bad experience there. I can’t believe some of the reviews! The staff is profesional, very knowledgable, and always on time. I know that Ella is working with celebrities and stylists, but she never made me feel that I am not an important client.
THE BEST ALTERATION SHOP IN TOWN!

I couldn’t find Ella’s telephone number and found it on Unilocal,which caused me to read her reviews. I have been going to Ella’s for years, and remember when she was located on Beverly Blvd. I would not be going there for so long unless it outstanding. She has completely re-​worked Armani suits for me, and always has my things on time. I am a professional woman, and travel a great deal, everything is almost immediately ready.
Wonderful, fabulous, and terrific work.
The staff is remarkable, courteous, and gracious. The reason she is busy with stylists, and the Industry is because they know quality work. She is the tailor to the stars, but has always treated me as a very special person. And, I have been going long enough to know that is how she treats everyone.
She is a «Mom» and we have talked about our kids forever.
In April, Ella did a terrific job on remaking my «Mother of the Groom» dress. She added little cap sleeves with the extra fabric in the hem, she is a genius. This was about four fittings, and was well priced at less than two hundred dollars.
I originally got Ella’s name from the people working at Maxfield Blue– if you know anything about fashion– well there could not be a greater recommendation.

The staff is very professional and always have my clothes ready on time. Great work!

I’ve been going to Ella’s for 5 years. I can’t believe some of the reviews here. They are on time and know exactly how to get my pants and dresses to fit correctly. They are busy during awards season because they do work for actresses and stylists.
The women are very sweet and knowledgable. I moved to OC but still bring my stuff here. I can’t imagine going anywhere else! Ella and the women who work for her have always been great!

I went to Ella’s for nearly two years. Generally they have a good attention to detail and correct fit, and give honest advice as to what will work best. I brought all sorts of projects to them — reworking dresses, tailoring jackets, shortening hems — and usually had great results. There were a few instances where garments came back with problems (straps shortened too much, wavy hems etc) but to their credit, they always fixed it with no charge.
However, I always got the feeling that I was not an important customer to them — they do a lot of work for stylists, actresses, etc so that might explain why. The women in the shop were pretty surly towards me, even after I had been going in there for months. (Note — I never did meet Ella herself, probably because I usually went there on Saturdays.) Fortunately there are lots of great tailors in the neighborhood… many who charge much less… so I’m going elsewhere now.

So, I had gone to these guys several times and they came highly recommended. They seemed to do good work, but were very pricey. I asked if they did wedding dresses and they said yes, all the time. DO NOT take a wedding dress to them. They did a poor job on the hem and I had to take it elsewhere to get it bustled… a week before the wedding. I asked for a break in the price since they didn’t do the job I paid for, they said no. I fought them tooth and nail and eventually got a small break, but pretty much got robbed.

This establishment has two entries for some reason, so I am reposting my review, in hopes that you will find another tailor:
I know other people who have had positive experiences here, but I have had nothing but an awful experience. I took several pairs of pants in, and while the pants I need hemmed were done flawlessly, the pants I needed taken in have proved to be nothing but a nightmare. I have now taken one pair of pants back to be redone for the FOURTH time after not being taken in enough. Every time, they seemed to be pinned just right, and when I get them back, they are still too loose. Last time, they fit me like jodhpurs. I had to take two other pairs of pants back to be redone, and a shirt.
I’m making sure that my pants are done to my satisfaction, but I will NOT be going back.
EDITED: After the fourth time, my pants were finally done to my satisfaction. They don’t fit as well as they used to, but they’re now passable, and the seamstresses were nothing but rude, unhelpful, and actually insulting. I wasted a month of my life waiting for these incompetent hacks to do their job correctly so that you don’t have to. They don’t seem to understand the concept that I am not a tailor, and that their job was to make clothes look good on me. Their inability to correctly tailor the clothing the first time was pawned off on me being a neglectful and picky customer.
They have completely ruined the notion of EVER having ANYTHING tailored again. Completely ruined it for me.
