Linda’s Couture

Linda is sweet

Linda is the only one I trust altering my garments. I’ve taken a couple of vintage dresses (50’s & 60’s one of kind) and they came out stunning. She really tailors the garments to your body making your piece that much more flattering. I even took one of my dresses to get dry cleaned and even they mentioned how well the was dress sewn.

I had found a yard of fabric that I had fallen in love with and wanted to get made into a dress for a one year old girl. Unfortunately, I had no idea where to even begin finding someone who could take my fabric and the one photo of a dress style I had and make it into reality. I’m so glad I found Linda! The dress was ready on the day promised and was made exactly to my specifications. She even made a few suggestions that made the fit of the dress much better than my original photo. All the customers in the shop the day I picked it up complimented how cut the dress was. I will definitely be going back to Linda for custom work in the future!

Very bad customer care. I brought 17 pieces to Linda and nearly paid 400 dollars. When I came to pick them up and try them on, another customer entered right after. She asked me 3 minutes later if I’m done trying on my 17 pieces. She later asked me to hurry because a woman with I kid is waiting. I felt very rushed and not appreciated, she treated me like a little kid. I said that I am a great customer and I deserve not to be rushed, she answered that she did 17 pieces! When I came to pay she asked me if I have cash and seemed frustrated that I didn’t. Even though there is a pay with card option?! Then she said I gave you good price because I thought you pay cash. I was stupid enough that I didn’t read her mind?! Next customer comes in and she asks him to wait because she is busy. Why did I had to rush for her, and she didn’t ask the woman with the kid to wait is just disrespectful.

Linda did an amazing job on creating a bridal dress, in a short while!
Nature of work — 1) helping design and create a bustier top to go with a skirt (which I already had) and attach it to the skirt to make the whole thing look like a dress. No easy feat! She also attached some embroidery to the bustier to make it look like it was always part of the outfit 2) Linda took in the skirt to make it look like a A-​line rather than a fuller skirt.
Timing — Linda did all this in 3 fittings within a month.
Fabric — Linda was really helpful in giving me direction on which were the high quality fabric shops nearby so I could go get nice, matching satin fabric for the bustier along. She also helped me think about which colro ivory would best go with the existing skirt. She told me where I could buy all the notions needed (heavy duty zipper, lining, boning etc)
Pricing — reasonable for all the extensive work she did!
Linda is a great dressmaker! I would give her more than 5 stars if I could!

I’m VERY picky when it comes to trusting tailors with my expensive brand named clothing. So picky that I travel from Santa Clara to visit Linda and Angel for all my alteration needs. This place is so good its ridiculous. I’ve brought several items here. You can never tell the item was altered because their work looks identical to the manufacturing. If not, better!
They are very sweet and they go above and beyond to make sure I’m 1000% satisfied before I walk out of their business. Priced appropriately for the work they do and more than accommodating.
To keep it simple, this place is the BEST. I’ve been coming here for years and not once have they left me hanging. Always professional. Always impeccable.

In summary, I expected much more from a tailor in Beverly Hills with such great reviews.
I honestly was very disappointed with the alterations that I received here. I brought in 3 skirts and a dress that I needed altered bc I lost weight and they were too big on me. I know nothing about tailoring, so I wanted to go somewhere I could trust to handle what I consider to be a fairly basic job. I went to Linda’s based on the reviews on Unilocal,and the service provided did not live up to my expectations. Maybe I did not give her enough or clear/​specific enough instructions, but again, since I know nothing about tailoring, I assumed she would know what to do with some simple skirt alterations.
When I came in to pick up my things, two of my skirts were so tight I could barely squeeze into them. Instead of taking in the waist, she adjusted the hips so that they were skintight and completely inappropriate for work. I will give her this– she let them out immediately as I waited.
I wore one to work the following Monday, and it was still uncomfortably tight. I just wore the second one today and it’s still too tight to be worn comfortably, and the waist is considerably baggy. I have a pear shaped body, so I prefer a fitted waist and looser along the hips. Still, it’s a stretchy fabric and she said it would give, so I thought it could be okay. I tried stretching it out a little on my own by squatting, and the whole back slit ripped upwards. This was one of my favorite skirts and now it’s basically unusable. I don’t know if she left enough material along the sides for it to be salvaged. Now I need to find a new tailor who might be able to repair this mess.

I wish I could give her even more than 5 stars! Linda is nothing short of AMAZING! I’ve been working with Linda for about 3 years now, and I will never go to anyone else for alterations or dress creations! To say that she is the BEST, is an understatement. I compete in pageants and She has altered and perfected 4 gowns for me. Thanks to her expertise, I’ve won 2 titles in fabulous gowns, both Miss City of Los Angeles, and Miss Greater Inland Empire! I am going on to compete in Miss California USA in December and of course I’ll be going back to the one and only Linda to make sure my gown is perfect! I may even see if she’ll create a custom piece for me. I love her to pieces, she’s as sweet as pie, super professional, and QUICK! She is definitely a Gem :-)

I am extremely fussy when it comes to tailors. I have been burnt too many times to just take my clothes anywhere for altering. I found Linda on Unilocal and was impressed by her great reviews and ratings.
She did not let me down. I took her a gorgeous 70s vintage dress I found in Sydney and she did a great job giving it everything it needed. Clearly she has an eye for detail. I will take all my future jobs to her no matter how far I have to drive. It’s just not worth taking the risk and I feel great knowing my clothes are in her hands.

I cannot speak higher of Linda and her staff. I brought in a bridesmaid dress for the wedding I am in this weekend as well as my wedding dress for the end of this month! Not only did Linda deliver on what she said she would do, she exceeded my expectations to the max! She is simply the sweetest lady and genuinely listened to what I had to say/​what I wanted. She even went above and beyond to add additional lace to the area near the bustle to hide the clip… which I didn’t tell her to do — I was truly impressed. My bridesmaid dress for this weekend is stunning and fits me perfectly as does most importantly, my wedding dress for the end of this month! I couldn’t be happier or more pleased with the work that she did and would without a doubt recommend her to everyone! Thanks again Linda for everything! You truly did an amazing job!!!

Simply the best.
After the wedding dress store (which I will not name), ordered the wrong size wedding dress for me, they immediately sent me to Linda. Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed but Linda has a level of experience that could calm a hurricane. When I picked up the dress two weeks later, it fit perfectly. She took a dress that was 4 sizes too large, completely took it apart and custom fit it to my frame. Linda is professional, kind, and a genius at what she does. If you have any serious alterations, take them to Linda. I’m not sure I would trust anyone else.
Thank you so much, Linda!

Unilocalers did not steer me wrong with Linda. She did an excellent job on my wedding dress alterations (taking the dress in, putting in a bustle, sewing cups in). Price was right, quality was good and she had my dress finished well before the date when I came to pick it up!
Bonus for a very subtle and simple bustle.

Linda is amazing!!! I have never been here before and had such an amazing experience! She made my dress look amazing! I was very nervous to trust anybody with my dress, but I’m so happy I trusted her. She is such a sweet heart and really cares about your wedding day. She is great!

She fitted my $ 300 running/​cycling jacket perfectly.
As a 120lb 5’9.5 male — fitted clothes — that actually look good, AND are functional and well made, off the rack, are RARE to come by.
Designers/​brands just DO NOT accommodate for my body type.
Which is fine, thanks to people like Linda.
I have yet to come across any niched technical outdoorsy clothing alterations place, but Linda fits mine well.
You don’t want to spend any amount of money just to have it go to waste to an incompetent tailor. I’ve had terrible to mediocre experiences in the past.
I’m grateful for having discovered Linda.
She’s kind, her prices are fair, and she gets the job done in a timely fashion.

Great customer service!!!
No wonder this place has 5 stars!
I noticed my favorite Free People shirt got a little hole, maybe I snug it, I don’t know. Anyways I took it to her hoping she would re-​weave it for me. Instead she just sewed it right there! She was like are you sure you want to spend $ 50 for re-​weaving? It’s in the back and no one would notice. She did it right there for me and she didn’t even charge me.
I promised I will come back with clothes that need alteration in the near future.
I really love genuinely nice people; she made my day!
Thank you, Linda!

Linda more than lived up to all of these five star reviews!
I just returned from picking up two evening gowns that I had altered by Linda. One of them is a very expensive couture gown that required some very trickey altering. She did a magnificent job. The dress fits perfectly.
Linda is a professional. She does inpecable work. Both dresses were ready when promised. I can’t imagine going to anyone else for alterations.
Linda is a real find,

After reading about all these glowing reviews on Unilocal,I decided to bring my bridesmaid dress here for alterations. And she didn’t disappoint!
When a bride tells you to get a dress, you get it. The problem was it was on clearance and only had select sizes in stock. I was able to get my size; but when I got it in the mail, it turns out they run very small and long. I needed a bigger dress and I needed a few inches off the bottom. So, I went to Linda for help.
She was very professional. When I put on the dress, she knew immediately what needed to be done. She’s confident and she gives off that air of «I know what I’m doing, trust me.» And trust her I did.
She added a corset back and hemmed all 5 layers of tulle. Bonus: the dress was ready in a week! Her price was reasonable for the work she put into it. I tried it on again after the alternations and it was perfect!
Needless to say, I am very happy with her work. And as a bride-​to-​be, I will be needing alterations on my wedding gown, so I will be coming back soon!

Linda did a great job on my Jenny Packham wedding dress and made my day !
After her magic, my wedding dress fit like a dream! I got a lot of great comments on my wedding day !
This wedding dress has some special Low-​Cut lace design in the chest area, but I don’t want to exposure too much. I have been told by many seamstress that the only way to fix it is adding some other material to cover it up. But adding any other kinds of lace will destroy the original design. And Linda is the one saved my big day!
She cut a small part of lace from the cap sleeve, and added the piece on the chest area! And when i tried on my dress, it felt like the dress is customized made for me!
I am just so lucky and so happy that I met Linda, and entrust her my wedding dress. She makes me feel like a princess on my wedding day! Love and Hug!

Best alterations shop in LA. Linda is very professional and timely. She is highly skilled in everything from a hem of a pair of pants to beautiful gowns. I have brought her many things for my boss and she always goes above and beyond. There is street parking that is usually available. I would recommend Linda and team to everyone! Your clothes always look better on you when they are altered by Linda :)

Would not trust anyone else with my wedding dress.
You search for months, spend a LOT of money and worship your wedding dress. And then, when you pick it up weeks before the big day, it doesn’t quite fit right. I was terrified about sending it off to someone to snip it here and cut it there. Who could I possibly trust with that task?!
My designer recommended Linda’s Couture and she is nothing short of amazing. A modest shop on Robertson but the results are stellar. I walked in, put my dress on and immediately she said «We’ll fix this, we’ll take this in, and it’s too big here.» I didn’t even need to say a word. 15 minutes later, I was off to work.
The best part? It was ready in two weeks. And that’s the standard turnaround time! Can you imagine if you needed it rushed? She’s fast. I picked it up this morning and the dress was PERFECT. It fit beautifully. Again, 15 minutes, I had it on, loved it and it was back in the bag and I was off to work.
And Linda even did extras. She replaced the hook/​eye with a «prettier one to match the dress» and she moved those pesky hangar straps that always pop out when you move around so they’re lower in the dress now. Above and beyond.
One less thing to worry about and now my dress is safely in my possession.
Her prices are beyond reasonable and her service is incredible. And she has photos of celebrities and happy customers all over her shop, a true testament to her work.
I’d go back, a thousand times over.
