Clothing Alterations By Trang

She hemmed two dress pants for $ 12. Hemmed them the proper length (though I let her keep a pair of pants that were already hemmed for comparison). Ready in a couple days. A few loose threads dangling but easily snipped off. Job well done and price can’t be beat.
Feels weird to just walk up to a random residence but she’s fine with it. Not sure I’ll take more complex items to her yet, but will definitely use her for any simple jobs going forward.

If u don’t want to pay too much for an alteration, then yea, this is the place. However, this is not the place to go for quality and reliable work. I went cheap and reaped low quality results. I’m disappointed, but that’s prob my fault for not trusting the low rated reviews.

All my pants were hemed at different lengths! So pist!!!
Not only did it take her a week and a half to hem 4 slacks, she tried to hussle me for more money
Was told a different price when picking up my clothes. She tried to squeeze even more money out of me which I told her my original price and paid just that
1 Star is gracious

She does awesome work fast turnaround and good prices. I highly recommend her over anybody else in Stockton. When I was first looking for this place I drove up to a house, I was expecting a business sign of some sort but there was none. She works out of her home. So her workplace is her personal residence.
CASH ONLY $$

Had my dress ready in a week. Lots of little beads to go through. It was an emergency alteration, last minute. But, she did it! I was super happy.
I was doubtful because it’s not a shop. I was even thinking of not leaving my dress but i had no choice, event was the following weekend. I had to have it altered asap! And, she made the impossible, possible! (I went to 3 or 4 different shops, all said no to time limit)

Trang did an excellent job with my costume last Halloween, and she turned it around in.umm.ONE DAY! Yes, I mean, I had some serious work that needed to be done, the costume was an entire 1.5 sizes too big for me, I looked like I was swimming in it. She adjusted the shoulder pads, cuff length of a suit jacket, and made a beautifully fitted skirt out of what looked like a moo-​moo (sp?) on me. Thanks Trang!

I was excited to take my two jeans and one pair of trousers thinking that I would leave extremely happy due to the reviews I read here.
I had her make a new hem on my jeans because she said she could make one just like the hem it came with. I dislike all three hems and they obviously do not look like the originals.
Her price was cheap (6 dollars for new hem. 12 for original hem.) but I would rather pay more for better quality. I gave her three stars because the length was not too short and the low price. I feel awful for not giving her more stars because she is so sweet but I am unhappy with my hems.

Have been looking for someone good to alter my designer jeans and I found Trang on Unilocal.She did an amazing job on my jeans. Trang’s price for original hem is great. I highly recommend her and I will be taking all my jeans to be altered by her.

Trang is friendly and fast. I’m so glad that other Unilocalers so highly recommended her! I have taken a few things to her already including my wedding dress. She did a beautiful job on taking it in and hemming the length. Last week she hemmed a dress for me in 2 days. I tell everyone about her!

i was confused initially because the address is to a house. a friendly middle aged viet lady runs the business out of her house. she hemmed my jeans very nicely and in a day for $ 6. you can’t beat that.

Very nice lady who was able to add a side zipper to a dress for $ 15. I was surprised to learn her business is inside her home, but she was knowledgable and knew exactly what needed to be done to the dress. Brought the dress to her on a Monday and was able to pick it up on Wednesday. Ms. Trang isn’t a mastermind tailor, but I would recommend her services to anyone needing easy fix alterations. Definitely will keep her in mind for the future!

Good alterations. Good customer service. Good prices. Will now be a regular customer. Wish I came to her sooner.

This lady is amazing! I discovered a rip along the sleeve of a delicate top and brought it in. She fixed it on the spot and didn’t even charge me! Her work was great and ben though it was an easy fix, it was seamless! She does quick fixes out of the kindness of her heart and for the sake of consistent and good service! You can bet that I will be seeing her again with the rest of my sewing and alteration needs!

Once you get over the fact that this business is run out a lady’s home (and you will get over it, because this lady does darn good work!), and the fact that her home smells strongly of incense (and you will get over it, because her prices are so darn good), you will be so glad you went here!
After going down a pant size due to stress (& being pissed because I had
.wardrobe!), I looked into alterations because lemme tell ya, the whole «pants being all saggy» look is NOT cute! She has a small dressing room set up so you can try things on before or after the alterations (which I used to determine exactly how much needed to be take in for each pair of pants).
Trang charged me $ 7 to take in each pair of dress slacks ($ 15 for jeans). She also charged $ 15 to take in a linen dress lined with silk (NOT an easy task). Everything came out beautifully. Well, except the dress. The black stitching was slightly off, but Trang fixed it. So in the end, everything did come out beautifully :)
And courtesy of my playful kitties, she’s also fixed holes in sweaters & shirts, (~$ 2-​$ 3, depending on the size).
She even does last-​minute jobs (she fixed a dress for me in less than an hour).
I’ve given her info to several people (all of who have been just as pleased with her work). And now hopefully you are convinced to see her too! When your clothes fit properly, it really does make all the difference in the world.

I purchased an evening gown on line a few weeks prior to an office party. Low and behold when I received the dress it was too big but it was too late to exchange.
I took the gown to TRANG whom I found on Unilocal and this precious, sweet lady was able to save the day!
The gown is all hand made and has hand stitched beading over the entire top half of the dress.
TRANG «Hand Altered» my gown and it looked absolutely gorgeous!
The beading was aligned as it was prior to the alterations and the fit was wonderful!
The price was absolutely incredible too so I made sure I gave her a good tip!
I will trust this lady with all of my alterations!!!
Thank you Miss Trang!!!
Sincerely,
Marti T.

Trang is good at what she does but by no means is she a properly educated tailor.
Yes, she can slim your clothing or let it out but those are basic alterations which anyone can do with enough practice.
I’m not saying she isn’t good, she is great, especially for the price. There is no doubt about that. However, aside from the basic tailoring, if you actually know anything about clothing and expect flawless tailoring prepare to be a bit disappointed.
I trusted the reviews and took quite a few items to be tailored, they all came out decent but she didn’t quite slim things as much as I had asked, even after multiple visits. Some items look OK but they don’t look «tailored» per se.
I think the problem is that most people on here just need minor alterations for simple hems, or slight letting out, darting etc. or they aren’t very informed about proper fitting clothing in the first place.
Yep, she’s cheaper for the easy stuff but when you need arm holes to be made higher, sleeves to be be super slim, lapels to be thinned or other advanced stuff, you’re better off going to a pro.
Great value though.

I came here after seeing that it had the most reviews, and I’m grateful that I did. Upon first impression you think, «Why does the address to Trang’s lead to a house»? Well, because it is (so make sure you call or ring the doorbell first). Ms. Trang is a very nice, polite woman who takes care of her customers, especially UOP students.
It may seem a little ghetto at first but don’t let that phase you, it felt very mom and pop as if my aunt was altering my clothes. English is not her first language but I completely understood her throughout the whole time I was there and I don’t think you should have any problems at all, unless it’s something complicated you want done.
So, I brought in two dress shirts for her to get taken in and tapered to a slimmer fit. She was very fast and she knows what she was doing. I brought the shirts to her on a Monday and got them back Friday, which I consider pretty fast work. Her quality of stitching for the sides were impeccable and looked nearly original. In my past experience, they were sloppily done so I was very, very surprised.
Overall, I liked her work so much that right after I picked up my shirts, I gave her 3 more to taper at $ 15 each (cash only) which is pretty standard price everywhere. Before I left, she told me not to worry and to study hard at UOP. Needless to say, she’ll have my business for however long I stay here.

Found her on Unilocal on Sunday, called her on Monday, and she finished it by Tuesday. $ 15 for 2 pairs of pants that both needed to be shortened. She got that done in one day.
Cons: She forgot about the ripped seams on both sides on one of my pants, and I waited an extra 15 min at her house for that. I didn’t like that the stitches are very noticeable, but probably still a lot better than I would have done myself. Her house has a distinctive smell.
Just call her before you go [to her house], and she’ll have it done by the time you specify.

Talk about Amazing work!
No Joke, Ms. Trang got me hooked on comin back. Simply the best seamstress in the 209 Area. She’s very quick with her work.
Lets first start out with my two pieces of clothing, which in this case were a pair of pants that i bought. Not realizing that the size was to BIG. I Quickly logged on to see were i could go to take in my very expensive pair of linen pants. And I found Ms. Trang.
Since this was a Residence I went ahead and gave her a jingle prior to my arrival. Then I came up to the house their were two other people dropping off their garments. She was very welcoming.
I actually didn’t know how i wanted my pants to be, or how i wanted it cut. with so much material my pair of pant’s could potentially become anything i wanted it to be with a drop of a word. Never the less I didn’t know what i wanted I told her I have an idea and we went from there. The one thing about Trang that i love is the fact that she listens to you. and Understands what her clients want and need. And if you don’t she most deff will give her input weather or not it will or will not work.
So that being said. I picked up my pants today and i must say the woman does wonders I can’t even see where she cut? s professional, So sweet. So affordable and worth the money. If I could give her more stars i would. I know for sure she’s a star in my book!

Being a petite person, most things I buy are usually too long for me. And in this case, the dress I bought was made for an extra small long legged model, which I most definitely am not.
So I took it to Trang to get it shortened to fit me better! And let me say, does she do an AWESOME job! Her work is top notch quality and she’ll have it done for you in 2 – 3 days. I paid $ 15 to get the dress shortened. I know it’s kind of expensive, but I can say it’s worth every penny. She makes it so it doesn’t look like it’s ever been altered and you just bought it that way!
It IS kind of strange because she works out of her home, so BE SURE TO CALL BEFORE YOU COME! I think I scared her because I showed up without calling and she didn’t know who I was and told me to call next time.
She’s super nice and tells you what she think will look the best. I had told her how short I wanted my dress to be and her inner mom instincts came out and was said, «Oh no! It’s too short! People will see your butt when you sit down!» So I trusted her and said, «Okay okay» And when I got the finished product, it was PERFECT! Exactly how I wanted it.
She’s used to getting a lot of UoP students so don’t be shy to come here if you’re from UoP, she’s super nice!
