Giacomo Tailoring

After a frustrating trip to another local tailor where the tailor was not only rude, but also claims he couldn’t fix my dress (a simple shortening of the spaghetti straps of the slip of a dress), I found Giacomo Tailoring just 5 minutes away and quickly the drove over.
I was still irritated when I walked into Giacomo’s, but the shop owner and tailor listened to what I needed and immediately started measuring the straps and pinning them at the desired length. He was friendly and very patient as we worked to get the straps to the best length. The amount for the alterations, which I thought was very reasonable and comparable to what other tailors charge, was given before I left the store. I was in and out of the store in 5 minutes-​an absolutely painless process!
A week later I returned to pick up my items (2 things: the dress and a pair of pants) and as soon as he saw me walk in he greeted me and went right to the rack to get my items. The sewing job was beautifully done, the treading matched the bright orange color of my pants exactly, and the straps of the slip of the dress were taken up at the perfect length. I couldn’t be more satisfied! The shop owner made friendly small talk while we examined my items to ensure it was to my satisfaction. I will definitely bring all of my alterations to Giacomo Tailoring from now on for the friendly service and tailoring that is expertly done at a reasonable price.

Did a great job repairing my slacks. And was able to get it done in lightning time.

As much as I want to complain, the work is for the money. I had a less expensive tailor but he does not compare with the quality. Giacomo does good work, in a good amount of time and for a reasonable price. Cannot go wrong coming here.

Very, very nice man who does excellent work. He even pressed my pants for free! I’ve been hesitant to tip tailors since the last few places I’ve tried I have tipped and regretted once I got home and tried on the clothing, but I will be coming back to this shop and tipping him well! Finally a good tailor that earns his reputation. :)

I have used Giacomo for many, many years. He is a very skilled tailor. I can’t believe you can get this kind of quality Italian tailoring in Whittier. Prices are fair, he and his wife are very pleasant, friendly people. He has completely re-​made things for me, done minor alterations, and once even fixed a formal dress that had all the many gathers removed by a clueless dry cleaner. I rarely recommend without hesitation. He is the best.

I have used Giacomo for several alterations and he has done them beautifully. He is so accommodating and did a beautiful job on a blouse that I needed done in 24 hrs. Highly recommended!

first of let me say that I wear a suit and tie everyday! Sometimes I forget what normal clothes feels like. It is important that I look professional and very neat at all times. So I brought one suit to Mr. Giacomo, he knocked it out of the park! I purchased a second suit purposely a shade bigger so Mr. Giacomo can work his magic, BOOM!!! don’t go anywhere else Mr. Giacomo knows what he is doing and will not disappoint!

I have been patronizing Giacomo Tailoring for a few years now and don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed. The owners of the shop are a husband and wife and they really know what they are doing. Over the years I’ve taken many articles of clothing here to be altered, including blazers, jackets, dress pants, jeans, dresses, and skirts. Pretty much everything I own as I’m petite and clothing rarely fits me perfectly right off the rack. Most of my jobs involve hemming or taking clothes in at the waist, but they’ve also done sleeve shortening, zippers, taking in jackets, and taking up the shoulders on jackets and blouses.
Since I’ve never brought anything in on a «rush» I don’t know how well those requests are handled. Usually I bring in a pile of clothes and pick them up in two weeks. Everything is always complete when I come for it. The prices aren’t cheap but the quality of their workmanship is worth it. You get what you pay for. I used to go to a cheaper place in downtown LA but stopped after they messed up a dress and a skirt. Also, the owners are a very friendly and down-​to-​earth Italian couple. The only downside for me is that they only accept cash or checks (no credit or debit cards) but I deal with it. After reading horror stories from some of the tailors around Los Angeles I’ll gladly carry my checkbook around.

I have trusted my alterations to them on numerous occasions over the past few years and the results have always been very professional and to my satisfcation. Not cheap but worth it. Nice family owned business with European quality workmanship in all they do.

Nice little shop. Good service. Used several times over the years with perfect results. Have had them alter Teri Jon dresses to make a dress fit my disproportionate figure with perfect results. Now that I’ve altered my figure (haha) I suppose I’ll go to them to make the dresses even more proportionate. I’d trust them with pretty much anything I own, and have trusted them with my best, never been disappointed.
