Serj Costumes & Tailoring

They did a very nice job altering a rather expensive suit. Will definitely be back.

I was looking for a place to get few pants altered and I’m glad I found this place on Unilocal.I called to make an appointment and the person over trephine was very friendly and professional. When I arrived I was greeted with a warm and welcoming smile.
Serj altered my pants perfectly and the denim had the same hem as the manufacturers sewing. I highly recommend this place for all sorts of alterations and repairs.

I needed to alter a dress my daughter ordered online for a semi-​formal dance. We checked Unilocal for an alteration shop close by in Burbank and found Serj was highly rated and had lots of nice comments.
Unilocal did not do us wrong! From the 1^st call to the consultation, to the fitting, the service was impeccable. Everyone was very friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable.
I thought there might be difficulty with cutting chiffon and was afraid the results wouldn’t look good but to our pleasant surprise, it was quality work. We couldn’t even tell that there was any alteration done. The fabric and sewing were excellent with no flaws.
I would recommend Serj to all my family and friends.

Serj, along with his staff, have fitted/​altered many of my outfits and I’ve never walked out unhappy. He is very professional and friendly and finds the time in his busy schedule when you need a last minute alteration, of course a few days in advance. Not only is Serj detail oriented when it comes to his Hollywood stars, but he provides the same great service to all other clients as well. I have a birthday this Saturday and I had forgotten to get my skirt fitted, so I called Serj yesterday around 5pm and he gave me an appointment for today at 4pm. This gives him and his staff only 3 days to squeeze my fitting in their busy schedule but he was happy to help me and provided me with the great customer experience as expected, and I can finally relax because I know my skirt will be a perfect fit by Saturday.
Need a fitting? An outfit from scratch? A fitted tux? ect… Call and make an appointment with Serj. His team will take great care of you.

Serj helped me through a wedding nightmare. With just three days prior to my wedding, my expensive dupioni mermaid dress with tulle underlay, etc. was too big and the pressing done by the dry cleaner ruined part of the gown. I called Serj at 8:00 AM in the morning on a Wednesday in tears. I dropped off my dress at his impeccable shop. He and his colleagues were top notch, professional, and assuring. Rima was awesome. Two fittings later, the dress was sooooo much better and in time for my Saturday wedding. They did a terrific job doing what my original tailor should have done. The dress looked 100 times better. It was perfect and fit me like a glove. Yes, trust your expensive and delicate items with him. He and his team are first rate. And charged a more than reasonable price for all the work put into the dress.

I needed to get the length of my bridesmaid’s dress hemmed about a week before the wedding. I chose Serj’s Costumes & Tailoring through Unilocal because (1) it was close to my home, (2) received high reviews, and (3) his price quote seemed reasonable. Little did I expect really wonderful customer service, really quick turnover (four days), and a really reasonable end price ($ 50).
I’m thankful to have Serj’s in Burbank — go support small businesses, especially those that do an awesome job!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Serj and his staff. I brought my wedding dress in for hemming and a bustle and they did a fabulous job at a very fair price. They are plenty busy with work from Hollywood but they take the time to treat everyone as if they were the most important customer. I love the work they did on my dress and would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I found a hand made vintage jacket made from metallic thread and some sort of fur at a thrift store. It was too big but I fell in love with the weird colors and I took it to Serj because of the Unilocal ratings. I didn’t realize you needed an appointment so I just showed up. Serj was not in but a woman in the front let me meet with one of the seamstresses, an older woman, and have her do the measurements. Since Serj was not there they said they would call the next morning to give me a quote. I ended up calling myself the next day around noon since I hadn’t heard from anyone yet and was eager to proceed. The quote was $ 140. I was having the arms shortened, shoulders raised and sides taken in a little so for cutting up such a weird material it seemed fair if a on the high side. I came in the next week to pick up the jacket. When I put it on it still seemed kind of big. I was glad, though, that they erred on the side of caution. I went back in with the seamstress and we decided if we just put very thin shoulder pads in it would raise the sleeves slightly and fill out the shoulders. I thought she said she was going to put them inside the lining but when I came back to pick up the jacket later that day the shoulder pads were just sewn on outside the lining. No extra charge but not as nice if they would have been inside. I was happy with the fit, though. It’s also fun to look at all of the pictures of the celebrities who have been there while you’re in the waiting room including a photo of Harrison Ford getting fitted.

I had to get my bridesmaid dress hemmed and had such a great experience. Even though I didn’t have an appointment (oops!) they made an effort to make time for me. They did a lovely job and I was able to walk around without tripping. Overall, I had such a pleasant experience and everyone was very professional as well as kind and polite.

I had a bit of a fiasco with my custom wedding dress four days before my wedding — from a boutique. Obviously not thinking rationally at this point, I went to Serg freaking out and asking to have a different one made from scratch! Well he immediately assessed fabric, did multiple fittings and got my dress made. It was pretty close to what I wanted based ONLY on a picture. That part was really impressive to me. Due to the craziness in getting it done, I think the last fitting was missed. Other than that if you need something made from scratch definitely go see Serg and his tailors they are amazing!

Got my wedding dress altered here and was very happy with it. They are very friendly and the prices are great. Highly recommend! Make an appointment.

This place is great. They are soooo good at what they do! They are very nice people and know their job the best!

I had a bridesmaids dress that needed to be hemmed and let out a little around the bust. I came to Serj’s on Thursday morning and needed the dress by Wednesday morning (6 days). The seamstress was very nice and said it wouldn’t be a problem. Serj was also very polite and said they don’t charge a rush fee. I picked up my dress this morning and it was PERFECT! It didn’t even look altered! Serj was so polite and the service was amazing AND affordable. I definitely recommend this place!

i paid 80 to tailor an air force jacket i found at a thrift store and it still isnt even fitted. This place is over rated and over priced

I took my boyfriend and his new suit in to Serj to be tailored. Serj was honest (my boyfriend is a perfect 30×30 and his pants didn’t require any tailoring, Serj could have told us otherwise but was kind to explain the options and leave them as is) and he tailored the jacket precisely the way we wanted it. It fits like a glove now! So happy with the work that was done. I noticed a few mentions about appointments, so I called on a Friday for a Saturday appointment and had no problem getting in. You definitely get what you pay for with tailoring, but we found him to be reasonable and worth the investment.

I simply cannot describe how amazing Serj is. They were friendly, welcoming, incredibly professional and did an amazing job in tailoring my wedding gown. I’m in awe of their talents. Definitely recommend this location to anyone in need of custom tailoring services.

I’d been searching for a decent tailor for as long as I can remember. Had used many but had never been much impressed. Then, I found Serj via Google. I read the positive Unilocal reviews so thought I’d give him a try. I brought in 2 jackets. One was a long tux jacket and the other was my prized Gucci over coat. Both were extraordinarily big on me being that I lost a lot of weight since i had bought them. Serj knew exactly what needed to be done. I asked him if the tux coat could be finished with-​in 2-​days (mind you, this is the week of Christmas) and he said yes. Sure enough, as promised, my coat was ready. I wore it that night and received more compliments on it then I’ve ever received on any piece of clothing I’ve ever worn. In short, his tailoring made me a rock star.
Serj has the uncanny ability to fit a piece of clothing according to the person wearing it. He can calculate through his observation of your particular body type how a piece of clothing will look best on you. He is truly a gifted artist in tailoring and forever my favorite tailor! Also, Serg is a very easy going, friendly, likable person. He’s good people, good talent and good business. He deserves 5 stars and higher.

I was happy with my dress purchasing experience but when the dress arrived, it come way too big. I guess that’s a pleasant surprise for a soon-​to-​be bride but still, the dress needed some major tweaking to make it fit my body properly. I found Serj on Unilocal and decided to go with him because 1. he had amazing reviews, and 2. his shop was just a hop and a skip from my place, and boy, am I glad I did. Because of my work schedule, I had to reschedule our meetings a several times but he was so kind and flexible about it. He was incredibly accommodating and never made me feel guilty for pulling a bridezilla on him.
His shop is clean, calming, and serene. There are no fabric pieces or threads (or pins!) on the floor anywhere, and I appreciated that. Serj is soft spoken and a real gentleman … very attentive and listened very closely to my needs. He explained exactly what he was going to do with the dress and the reasons behind the alternation cost. I never felt like I was being ripped off — at all. I have to admit that wedding alternations are not cheap but with Serj and his mad skills, I would have happily paid a million bucks.
I worked with Serj and another seamstress lady. Although I had no idea what there were saying when they were talking in Armenian, I felt comfortable. She became a third mother to me, and even though we didn’t have a real conversation, I really liked her very much!
On my third and final fitting, I was asked to bring a pair of shoes that I would wear to the wedding, so that they can get a proper hem measurement. I didn’t have the chance to go buy a new pair so I brought a pair of a-​okay, but not so special, black heels. When Serj saw the shoes, he said this to me: «The shoes are nice, but they look like you’re going to someone else’s wedding, and not your own.»
I don’t think I’ve ever been so impressed with the way someone phrased an advice in the most non-​judgmental way. He could have easily said that the pair was ugly (which they kind were), or not appropriate (which they also were), but he selected well-​chosen words that got the point across, without hurting my feelings! That’s when I knew that I’ve hit the jackpot with Serj.
I know that I made a short story long, but in conclusion, the dress came out to perfection. I couldn’t have been happier with the way it fit. It truly made me feel like a princess! I highly recommend Serj Costumes and Alternations. Serj worked in the entertainment industry before opening his own shop so you can see pictures of celebrities that he’d fitted on the wall. He’s simply the best in the industry!
Thank you, Serj, for making me feel like a princess at the wedding!

Serj is very talented and professional. His shop mostly caters to the studios and shows around Burbank, however, his prices are very affordable for outside customers as well. Highly recommend him for any alterations you may have.

I second Aris S.‘s review! I took a very expensive Laila Azhar evening gown to be altered for a wedding, and now my dress fits perfectly. Serj’s a perfectionist, so even if you’re happy with the look, he won’t be until he gets it just right.
The shop is very easy to find. Inside, everything is very clean, well lit, and everyone there is very professional. I highly recommend Serj for «ANY» type of fitting, dresses, suits, etc etc!
