Lili Knits

Not the fastest turnaround ever, but good quality work at reasonable prices. I used to live near here and went multiple times, and never had a problem with any alterations.

First of all, I don’t think they even deserve that full star. Maybe just a quarter of it. I’m in a team of 12 and each of our uniforms costs $ 160. That’s about $ 2,000 total in their pockets right there. I expected fast and quality work but I ended up being extremely disappointed in everything they’ve done.
It is mid January and we first went there in the mid September. In total, we have been there at least six times to ask if they’re done, went to do more fixing, and they’re still not done. All the uniforms are basically the same and I seriously doubt it takes 5 months to make 12 uniforms. When it was November, all that was needed to be done were buttons on the sleeves. It took THAT long and as of today, it’s still not done. «one more week» turned into one more month, and another month and another month.
Never coming back after this time.

I have been going here for years and they are really in budget. It is really hard to find a good seamstress in the Bay area. If she charged outrageously then it must have been a really difficult task.

I work for a non-​profit and run a canvassing team. One of the girls on the team is still in high school and totally got ripped off from this place. First off, this place made the dress for her sister last year and it cost $ 450ish. Then the girl on my canvassing team paid another $ 250ish for alterations.
Okay, so I have to say the dress came out great but not $ 250 great. All this woman did was take it in and shorten the train. Seriously. That’s all.
Before it got to this point, I went in there asking the woman to please return the dress with the $ 100 CASH deposit (someone’s withholding information from the IRS– guaranteed!) that she asked my girl to leave. I asked again if they would consider giving back whatever was left after paying for their time (which was pinning) and they still said no. The sign says no refunds but as far as I was concerned they did not perform the service therefore, they should have given her the money back. They said they would return the dress but not the money.
Then this woman said, «I don’t know what Chinese laundry mat you’re going to but this custom. This will fit like a glove.» It was something to that effect but there definitely mention of Chinese in there.
First off, I’m from LA and I’m pretty sure all the people that took in my alterations were Korean (I, for one, actually asked) or White. Second, where does she get off making these kinds of assumptions and then throw in a inappropriate (in any setting) comment? Third, most people in retail I calmly argue down long enough where they are just sick of looking at my face. Most of the arguments have validity behind them before I go in and do battle and I thought I had a case.

fast, friendly– easy to communicate– and they were within my budget.

I’m not sure about the other reviewer, but from my experience I took a dress here, that I needed a little more room in the chest area, if ya know what I mean! They had it done the same day, and I was able to wear it to my cousin’s wedding the next day and boogie my little bootie off. I’d recommend it… My mum has gotten work on her clothes done there as well and recommended them to me, and I am a fan now.
