Paris Tailors

I needed my tuxedo pants taken in at the waist and Angie charged me $ 15 and got the repair done in 2 days. Nordstroms was going to charge me $ 35 and wanted me to get my pants dry cleaned before any work could be done. I would not hesitate to recommend Paris Tailors and Angie!

Went to Paris Tailors this past week to have a cocktail dress altered and Angie was great! She did a wonderful job in the time frame I needed. The only reason I gave Paris 4 stars is that they are a little pricey — but I will definitely be bringing more things there!

Update! October 2015
Miss Angie has taken over for Miss Mimi. Different lady, same game… excellence!
So far Angie has altered jacket sleeves, pants legs, various hems — all accurate and well done.
I don’t play around when it comes to my clothing and you shouldn’t either. Don’t trust your dry cleaner to help you; just roll up your sleeves until you can get to Paris Tailors.
PS from Maria’s Mom:
Can you hear me? I’m on the road at Big Sur with Maria’s Dad (he says hey). Anyhow, I’ve been to Angie more than Maria has — true story. Angie’s work is excellent and you *know* I stay flawless. Must run, I see a whale. I think.

My family and I have had countless alterations done here. The lady is always super friendly and helpful. It’s very affordable and great quality work. She always ask if we need it by a certain day, which is always nice. We’ve tried to tip her before and she refuses every time. Definitely recommend going here.

Thank you for such a great service! Angie was very nice and helpful! She did a great job on my alterations! Her prices were reasonable! I will definitely be coming back! Thank you!!!

Thank you, Unilocalers, for helping me to find this place! IMHO, the owner charges far too little for the excellent quality of work she does. She just hemmed two shorts and a dress (with a complicated hem) for me in two days for $ 35. This is less than half the cost of other tailors I have used. In addition, she hemmed my daughter’s graduation dress, which was a lovely wedding dress from David’s Bridal. David’s wanted to charge me $ 90 for the hem (more than half the cost of the dress). Angie (or Mimi — I will find out her name) charged me $ 30. Very happy with everything she has done. Amazing find! Thank you!

This place become my regular destination for alteration. I have an old suit that was custom made for me years ago and after those harrowing years the size has become too large for me, I used to have a larger built then. Since the suit has a high quality fabric I don’t want to throw it away or donate it so I brought the suit to miss Angie and as usual she did an amazing job altering it. The suit now hangs proudly next to my Brionis and Zegnas, and become my favorite suit.

I brought in a vintage Richard Harwood dress, that had been worn by my mom throughout the 60’s and 70’s, to be tailored to fit me. Angie was VERY friendly and helpful. I will say that there was a slight language barrier, but she didn’t seem to have any trouble understanding the changes that I wanted made. During the initial fitting she made quick work of pinning the dress to take in the top and waist, move the sleeves to their correct place on my shoulders, and fix the hem on the bottom of the dress. She did an excellent job altering the dress. It fit me perfectly! She was finished when she said she would be, and was even able to make some last minute tweaks the day that I picked it up. Her price was more than reasonable considering the amount of work she did.
I definitely recommend this small, local business!

I’ve taken things there many times with no complaints. Competitively priced.

I took an expensive pair of True Religion jeans to another local dry cleaner for get the waist taken in two inches. They did such a horrendous job that the seams on the butt didn’t match up and it looked like I was walking around with a load in my pants. Got the mental image? Good! I took the jeans to Paris and she first had to undo the damage done by the other tailor. I returned a week later and she properly measured and adjusted with pins. She opened the waist and sides of the legs all the way to the bottom. I picked them up today and they fit flawlessly! This lady is an amazing tailor. Please don’t waste your time or money having any of the local Pasadena dry cleaners do alterations on your clothes.

Angie, the tailor, is exceptional! I came to her for several dresses to be tailored that seemed difficult to do, one including my bridesmaid dress, and she did them all exactly how I wanted and within a reasonable about of time. She is so accommodating, even hemming one of my dresses for pick up the next afternoon! She really listens to you and is so so friendly. Support this small business!

I thought the woman there was so nice and sweet. She did a great job with my dress, but she was a little expensive for me… she explained why it was so expensive and it made sense, I was just expecting great prices from all the reviews. To take in my bridesmaid dress (with boning) and hem it, she charged $ 50. Other reviews said she wasn’t going to charge too much, but I think her rates are normal. Overall, I was very pleased with how my dress turned out :-) She let me come in as many times as needed to in order to ensure that it fit me like a glove! Very happy in the end :-)

Great place to get your clothes/​tailored/​altered. Very very nice korean lady who has very reasonable prices. She tailored a skirt and hemmed pants for me. Am definitely making this my go to spot for all my alterations!

Mimi is AMAZING! For the longest time I have been looking for a good tailor that can taper and original hem pants/​jeans. Since I have found Mimi, I have taken all my designer jeans to her to get altered. Initially I was very reluctant to have her taper my jeans and expected them to come out sub-​par. To be completely honest, I was shocked how well they came out… as a matter of fact they looked better than they did originally. I had a few pair of jeans that were a bit looser fitting that I no longer wore, and Mimi was able to turn them into a more modern fit (slim/​skinny) which now I wear allllll the time. I even took in some jeans I had tapered at another place so that Mimi could fix them. Trust me, shes really good at what she does!
I have only GREAT experiences at Paris tailors and I recommend anyone looking to get their expensive jeans altered (tapered/​original hem) to Mimi.
PS. I have been soo pleased with her work that I even set up a Unilocal account just to write this review. Knowing myself, this will most likely be my first and last review.

She did a great job hemming a prom dress for my daughter, but was so rude that I will find another seamstress instead of going back here again. Plus it was on the expensive side and took longer than expected for a hem.

Miss Mimi, while very nice, doesn’t really speak English, at all. We definitely struggled to understand one another and there was more than one mix up with things I wanted done. I wanted the sleeves taken off a shirt, but she insisted that that was the style and that I should leave that. I really hate those sleeves, so I’m just going to take it to someone else to fix. Also, I brought in a maxi dress that was a size XL (I got the last one for $ 35) and she charged me $ 40 to take it in. It wasn’t taken in enough so I brought it back. She didn’t want to take it in anymore since the material is stretchy. I still thought there was too much material, but whatever.
She did, however fix three torn shirts and a ripped pair of jeans really really well. She also took in another dress for me and it came out perfectly. She also did one dress in just one day so I could wear it to Easter. I’m a little torn over whether or not I would go back to her based on the prices ($ 40 for a dress I’m not happy with??) and not being able to communicate easily with her.

I went to Paris Tailors because they received all these glowing reviews on Unilocal,but I definitely did not have a good experience. I found the owner indifferent and a little difficult to communicate with, but none of that would matter if the alterations had been executed properly, which they were not! I took in a jacket that needed the sleeves shortened, and what I received in return was a jacket in which the two sleeves were different lengths and the cuffs were just turned over and stitched into the jacket lining — totally lame job! And it looked terrible. I’m going to take the jacket someplace else and have the sleeves re-​done! Would absolutely NOT recommend!

Such a great find! Reasonable prices and very nice work. She has shortened hems and taken in skirts for me. Mimi is friendly, easy to work with and I’m always pleased with the results.

She is super nice and fast, high quality tailoring!

Just picked up two pair of jeans from here — They are AWESOME! She is truly amazing and a very good seamstress. It was $ 15 (each) for the original hem and I was really worried about having my expensive denim altered. Happy to report they look great and finally fit me (length wise). Like the other reviewer said, there is a bit of a communication challenge but she is really good at what she does. Can’t wait to take the rest of my ‘too long’ pants and jeans in! It’s like getting new clothes!
