Angelica’s Custom Tailor

I was referred to Angelica through Elegant Lace. Angelica has tailored two brides maids dresses for me over the past few years and I have been so pleased with her work. She is fast, efficient, has a lovely persona and her shop is really cute!
One of the dresses is satin, off of one shoulder and has some complex pleats and structure to it. The other is completely the opposite with a light chiffon material and pleated structure in the top. Both dresses came out amazing and fit me like a glove. We had a few appointments where she made some minor tweaks to make things just right. Her appointments run on time and are short and sweet. I liked that she left material on the inside of the dress in case your size increases a bit.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with my bridal & miscellaneous alterations thanks to Angelica! I bought a Maggie Sottero «Jade» gown with lace and beading… The works. It was long on me and needed the lace hemline brought up, and needed the laced/​beaded straps shortened as well. I got my gown from Trudy’s in Campbell and decided to use Angelica’s based on some great Unilocal reviews, which have served me well. I saw her 3 times before my wedding at 8, 4 and 2 weeks out. She dialed the dress in perfectly and was very knowledgeable/​insightful in her suggestions. Each time I went she had back-​to-​back customer appointments (aka very popular with word of mouth apparently– I’m shocked she doesn’t have more Unilocal reviews given the foot traffic observed) and worked the timing in great. I was so happy with the way the dress alterations were going that I also had her make my custom table runners for the wedding. I dropped off fabric I bought at Joanns, along with the dimensions, and she sewed them accordingly with what looked like invisible seams and they were gorgeous! I’ve also taken 3 suit jackets to her to have the sleeves shortened and waist taken in. Price on everything was very, very fair and the work has been great quality (note: I’m quite frugal and have lofty expectations). Given the variety of work I’ve brought to Angelica and that they have all turned out great, I will now ALWAYS trust her with my alterations.

I loved working with Angelica! She was incredible. She altered my wedding dress back in July and did an amazing job with it.
I was never one to dream much about my wedding dress. In fact, the whole process of buying a dress and getting fitted was quite intimidating. But meeting Angelica was delightful. She made me feel so comfortable in my dress– it fit perfectly to my body. All the bust hoisting that I am so accustomed to doing with strapless dresses was never once an issue. She was also really knowledgable and offered great suggestions. For example, my dress was really heavy because of extra layers of tulle under the skirt. Angelica removed a few of those layers so that the dress still held its definition, but was significantly lighter and easier to wear. She also put in a bustle that was easy to find and adjust post-​ceremony.
Thank you, Angelica, for all your help! I felt so at ease in my dress on my wedding day.

Angelica is AMAZING!!!
I had a bad experience with a previous alteration location (Alluring Alterations) that charged me $ 600+ dollars to barely let me dress out and then never showed up from my final fitting appointment. I called and she took me for a wedding dress appointment the same day!
Angelica was polite and so knowledgeable! It was clear she was listening to what I wanted. I was so upset about the previous store, but Angelica made me feel comfortable. My dress was fitted perfect in three short fittings. I did not know I could look that good!!! To top it off, her pricing is very fair. I will be taking all of my clothes to Angelica from now on!

This place is amazing.
I came here for a bridesmaid dress alteration but also brought plants and they were all altered and hemmed to perfection
I left a blazer here last week that needed everything from shortening, being taken in, new buttons, shorter sleeves and Angelica (I’m assuming that’s her name!) was very knowledgable about the whole process.
I have a HUGE stack of clothing I need hemmed and/​or altered I’ll be bringing in soon.
I’ve had horrible experiences other places and I won’t be going anywhere but here from now on!

Angelica is an angel sent from heaven! Seriously, she is the sweetest thing since chocolate chip cookies. She’s amazing at what she does. I had a Vera Wang Organza Blush dress for my wedding. I purchased it in a size 12 (knowing I’d loose weight before my wedding) because they discontinued the color. I brought it in to Angelica (30 lbs lighter) with the dress nearly falling off of me. I was terrified to have someone cut my wedding dress, but she made me feel at ease. She explained the 3 fittings, the first 2 of which she wouldn’t cut my dress, just sew it until I gave her the Ok.
This dress fit like a glove at the final fitting. She let me try it on all 3 times, she let me do ridiculous things like sit down, pretend to pick up my nieces and nephews, etc. I even asked her if it was going to tear a seam. She laughed, and now I know why. That dress held up better than I did at the wedding! Her price is fantastic. She had to do so much work, she literally rebuilt the entire dress and didn’t charge me an arm and a leg.
The dress was absolutely the focal point of the wedding. I got so many compliments on it and I owe it all to Angelica’s amazing hands! We partied so hard, people stepped on the bottom and tore it (pretty good) and she’s got it back in her shop, fixing it for next to nothing, ensuring it gets cleaned and preserved all while I’m on my honeymoon.
On top of this, she makes you feel like part of her family. She has the warmest smile and disposition and just makes you feel incredibly beautiful. The world needs more people like Angelica!

Took my bridesmaid dress there. She took the time to really make sure I like the fit. She gave it a modern and fitting trim to my dress. I would definitely go back again!

Angelica’s is a great place to have your clothes custom-​tailored; not just for special events but for everyday wardrobe. Angelica is quick and efficient at her work and charges a very fare price. The best compliment I can share has been payed two separate times– once at a wedding where I was a groomsman and once in the office– I was asked, «How come your suit looks so much better than everyone else’s?» It’s because of Angelica.

I was referred to Angelica by Haute Bride in Los Gatos. It is always a stressful decision to choose a tailor for a wedding dress because the dress is so expensive and needs to look perfect on the big day. I am SO happy I went with Angelica. I had 3 fittings in total, and by the end the dress looked like it was tailor made for me.
I will continue to go back to Angelica for all of my alteration needs. It was a pleasure working with her!

Professional, trust worthy and excellent over all service. Superb client care and attention to detail! I love this place! I was able to get my alterations done and also schedule hair and make-​up for my wedding. No need to go anywhere else, this place is priceless

Angelica is absolutely amazing. I went to her with my wedding dress on the recommendation of Haute Bridal Salon, and she did an exceptional job — no only on my dress, but on my mom’s dress and a few of my bridesmaids dresses as well.
Since my wedding (almost a year ago), I have been back to Angelica for many other alterations as well for jeans that always come too long as well as multiple bridesmaids dresses for weddings I have been in.
Angelica Rocks! And her work, care and personality make her so easy to work with and incredible seamstress. I have referred her to many other friends and family.

I was looking for a tailor close to my house, to get a few things altered. So glad I went to Angelica’s. She was so sweet and had my stuff ready super fast. I will definitely be coming her for all my future tailoring needs!

Was struggling to find a good place for tailoring that would still fit my budget after paying for the dress, nails, heels, hair and everything else that comes along with Prom.
I came by on a Thursday evening (after calling the story to make sure she wasn’t busy) with my Prom dress. I loved how friendly Angelica was and how easy it was to work with her! She had me put on my dress so that I could explain more thoroughly to her what I wanted tailored. I asked her shorten the straps and add in cups, which came to a total of $ 55.
I liked how she asked me to pay only after I’d looked over my dress and decided I was happy with it. I also loved how she put so much care into decorating her store and was dressed semi-​formally-​it really helped to make for a much nicer experience! :)

I don’t usually write Unilocal reviews but Angelica’s Custom Tailors is more than deserving. I got a my Maid of Honor dress tailored for my sisters wedding and she did a perfect job. My dress was initially much too loose and long — the dimensions were all off when I first purchased it. However, now its absolute perfection. She was born to tailor (she told us she began with her grandmother years ago) — and her work really shows it. I am 100% satisfied with her work.

After scouring Unilocal trying to find a good bridal alterations place, I am so happy with my decision to take my bridesmaid dress to Angelica! She is so friendly and nice and very welcoming.
Her shop is easy to find in Campbell. Parking is a bit tricky, but I always found street parking.
She did an amazing job altering my dress and when I came back for my fitting, it was perfect! She works quickly and makes sure your dress is done in time for the event. Her prices are very reasonable.
I highly recommend Angelica’s for your bridal alterations!

Absolutely love Angelica’s tailoring. I had my wedding dress altered here and she made me feel comfortable and did a fantastic job! And I was 5 months pregnant! No easy feat! Thank you, Angelica!

I bought a sample wedding gown at Gabrielle’s Bridal. Obviously with it being a sample I bought it the way it was. The back had some crystal work and some of it had fallen off. At the bridal salon they suggested I turn the back into a corset. I asked a few friends about a tailor and they recommended Angelica’s.
I called her and she gave me an appointment almost immediately. I made my way over. Her salon is super cute. Very chic and classy. Angelica asked me by when I needed the dress, I gave her a date and she said she would make it happen.
She has two fitting rooms. I put on the dress and told her what I wanted. She agreed and even gave me more suggestions. She scheduled me for a second fitting. I came in and the dress fit like a glove. Perfect. Angelica also suggested some undergarment (ladies you understand.) At that point she scheduled my third appointment where I had to bring the person who is helping me put my dress on the day of. That’s when I pick up the dress, streamed and pressed.
Great experience! I highly recommend Angelica’s. She gives you what she promises.

The store I got the dress from recommended me this place since she can do it real fast and I only had two weeks left. I was a little skeptical about this place since it only has 7 reviews and this is for everything and not only for bridal gown. Searched for other places in San Francisco (since I live closer there) and the good places wanted to charge 150 – 250 for rush fee I decided to just drive the extra miles to come here as recommended.
Because i had to make it to the last appointment, I didn’t try on the dress at the store. I picked it up from the store and came straight here and tried it on for the first time here at Angelica’s. To my surprise, this size 0 dress is actually loose and I’m a size 2.
Anyway, Angelica gave me option to sew in my bra or add cups and I chose the latter. I didn’t know what kind of bustle is better and I just asked for outside/​French because that’s what I saw on the internet, but Angelica evaluated and show me how my dress would look in both types of bustle and why I should choose the other one over French. That was helpful! Also got hem shortened and sides taken in etc. She said I could come back in a week and no rush fee was ever mentioned!
So when she was pinning, it looked funky cuz it was loose and the cups were showing up. I wasn’t too amazed but didn’t matter since I had no time. However, I just went back to try it on and, wow, she slimmed it up so it’s tight as it should be and the added cups were fitting pretty well… Looks much better than the pinning! (Duh!) She taught me how to work the bustle and zipper and also taught me a little trick on opening/​closing the gown bag so I don’t tear up the gown.
Overall, she’s very nice and I give you that she’s knowledgeable on gown alterations. Nicely done in a week with no rush fee. Didn’t regret not going to those more reviewed tailors in sf! Hence writing a review (I rarely do) to do this place some justice! :)

Look no further people. Take your clothing to Angelica.
This woman is amazing. I took 3 sun dresses to her (one for my wedding shower in August) and they were all perfect. Fast forward to September, my wedding was a week away. I go to my 2^nd (and final) fitting with a different tailor, leave with my dress, and proceed to have a crisis that night and the next day. My dress wasn’t right. I couldn’t figure out why. I was seriously contemplating buying another one off the rack at David’s. Then it hit me. It’s not me, it’s the dress. Who can fix this!!!
Angelica saved my dress and in a time crunch. So you could say she saved my wedding. She explained every detail of why my dress wasn’t right yet. I’m short — barely 5’3″ — she pointed out that the boning was way too long. She cut it shorter. Immediately I could breathe and sit in the dress. She did a bit more work and also fixed the bra cups.
I hate seeing brides with «floating boobs» you’ve seen it… it looks like your tailor had no idea of your cup size. Angelica cut out the cups from the first tailor and re-​did them. They were perfect. The dress was perfect.
Thank you Angelica!!! Ladies don’t go anywhere else. She treats each dress as her own. You will be amazed at her work and her clear communication. And 3 fittings. My final advice… 3 fittings :)

A few months ago I bought a suit so I could wear to my friend’s wedding. When I got it back the pants were not how I wanted. I had a week to get my pants fixed so I asked around to see where there was a good place for custom tailoring. My aunt recommend this place to me. I went and told Angelica what I wanted my pants to fit like. She was really nice and personable and she knew exactly what I wanted. The best part of all is that Angelica said she would have my pants ready a few days before the wedding. I picked up the pants on the day she said they were going to be ready and they fit PERFECTLY! I highly recommend going here if you need any custom tailoring done.
