Gisselle’s Tailoring & Alterations

Ivan has very extensive knowledge on alterations and tailoring I never trust anyone with my pendletons except him all of my pants and came out perfect he even irons my clothes for me and no extra charge very talented and always prompt with his time!

Walked by on a Sunday, they were very quick to answer questions. I needed a patch sewn on leather and they did it as I waited. Very professional and great people.

Been coming to Ivan for all my tailoring needs for more than 7 years now. One thing that sets Ivan apart is that he gets today’s fashion so when it comes to him tailoring pants into skinny fit or joggers, he knows what to do. Yeah he falls behind on work but that’s due to demand of his skill. I’ve gone to other local tailors in Escondido but none come close to his level of skill and professionalism. Gisselle’s is the place to go!

Ivan was able to alter a fur coat that my daughter got from her grandmother. The price was quite reasonable. We showed him another fur coat and he was honest enough to show us why it couldn’t be altered without great cost and recommended that we sell it. Appreciated the advise.

I have been taking my stuff to this tailor for many years. He is always professional and has never turned away work.
He is reasonably priced and can work with you on deadlines.
Thanks for your great service!

He said my suit would be done that same day. I trusted him because I reallh needed it the next morning. Well I didnt get my suit. Ive been calling him for 5 hours now, and not a answer. He picked up once and then hung up. Do not waste your time and money here! Go somewhere else. In the past ive givin him some work and a couple of times he has messed up. Terrible!

Several weeks before my wedding I contacted this tailor to ask about altering an adult size shirt to fit my 12 year old son because I was having trouble finding a color match in his size. He said he could do the job for about $ 30.00. I continued to look for other options but about 10 days before the wedding I dropped off and adult size shirt and he measured my son for the alterations, but his quote was now $ 60.00. Perhaps he didn’t realize the scale of the job, and that’s fine; however, the day before the wedding I stopped by for the shirt and it had not been started. He assured me it was no problem and he would have it by 5:00pm that day. We had our rehearsal that night but he assured me he would be open late because of an regular event that goes on every Friday in the summer. He said he would call me when it was ready. No call ever came. My fiancé called him that evening and he said he’d be open at 9:00 the next day. Today, the day of our wedding for which this shirt was promised we went to the shop at 9:00am. The door was open but the tailor was nowhere to be found, but on his bench was my son’s shirt, marked up but not even begun! I should probably have known better. A month earlier I had him repair a breast pocket on my suit, and the day it was promised again, he had not even begun. He gave me an excuse about mixing up that job with another he had promised that day and I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Be warned, unless it simply doesn’t matter if your job ever gets done, look elsewhere for tailoring and alterations in Escondido!
