TK Tailoring & Alterations

Kim is awesome! So helpful and friendly, and has always done an amazing job. I’ve brought 3 suits, some button up shirts, slacks, jeans, and even a nice North Face down jacket and a North Face fleece, and everything has come out excellent! Can’t even tell the North Face jackets had been altered. I’d recommend TK Tailoring to anyone.

The owner is very kind and helpful. I got my dress altered and the results were perfect! The sewing job was seamless and done very well. I’d be glad to come back.

We’ve been going here for years and this last experience makes me sad. She’s a very sweet lady but she didn’t do well on my sisters wedding dress and my dress. I’m so unhappy with the way she did my bridesmaid dress. She fixed it 3 times and still couldn’t get it right. We’re more sad about the wedding dress. She also didn’t care about the veil and bunched it up on a hanger. Now we need to pay more to get it fixed. For the price we paid we should be 100% satisfied and we’re not. For basic alterations she’s good and super sweet but not for special occasions

I love love Kim! I am very lucky to find her on Unilocal.I am picky about choosing my private tailor because most of my beautiful dresses are very expensive. I don’t just give them to any tailor who I don’t know… My previous tailors ruined some of my expensive dresses. I chose Kim after checking out other 3 local tailors in my area. Kim has done a wonderful job on my beautiful dresses. She has taken good care of my dresses anytime that I hand them to her. Kim knows how to make my dresses look perfect on me. Since I met Kim, I got almost 100 new beautiful dresses for my closet. Kim always brings a smile on my face. I admire her talent and patient. Kim always try to finish all my beautiful dresses in a short of time anytime that I rushed to go back to my state, Hawaii. I don’t trust any tailor in Hawaii. I always come to TK Tailor to see Kim anytime that I visit my dad in California. Kim has saved me lot of money of buying the new dresses. She has helped me fixing almost 100 dresses in last couple months. Kim is very friendly, fair in prices, and does such a good job that you can’t even tell.
Quality work from a great person! I Love TK Tailoring & Alterrations! Highly recommended.

She did such a great job with my wedding dress. Such great attention to detail and she let me know if something was a bad idea. I was so impressed by how kind she is she even walked my dress out to my car for me.

I was looking for a place to create new holes on my purse strap, and thankfully, I found this spot through Unilocal.
I just bought my Marc Jacobs crossbody purse, but being so short, I needed extra holes to adjust my straps shorter.
I called in, and the lady on the phone was able to help me. She said to come in, because she wanted to see it first. I came in, and she was able to help me right away. I showed her how short I wanted it. She went to the back, and she punched a hole plus two other holes, just in case I wanted to adjust it even more.
Quality of the holes were clean, and I was happy with the result!

In every city I move to, I make sure I dial in a solid alteration shop. When I spend money on clothes, I want to make sure they are fitted to my 5’0, 100lb frame which is not what the American market caters to. I am very pleased to find TK Tailoring and Alterations. The work here is phenomenal. I know the bulk of the business is for evening wear and wedding apparel, but I also brought in a sports bra, swimsuit, and several dresses to get tailored, hemmed or adjusted and it came back looking flawless. The handiwork is very professional and you cannot tell it was even altered. Now I buy clothing with confidence knowing that I can have anything fitted perfectly by TK. The cost reflects the work and how it makes me feel to wear the clothing is priceless. Thank you TK!

I had got my wedding dress altered somewhere else and they did a terrible job. As you can imagine, I began freaking out as I only had like 1.5−2 months till the wedding and now I was even more apprehensive about choosing someone who would do a great job. I researched and researched on Unilocal and decided to go with TK Tailoring & Alteration. She altered the sides of my dress, added a hook above the back zipper and re-​did the bustle. Price was reasonable and Kim (?), the person who helped me was super nice. She even went out of her way and gave me a little sewing lesson after I picked it up when I mentioned I was going to add an embellishment to make a sash:)

Kim was amazing! I got a quote at another location and it was twice as much. She was very detailed and did an amazing job on my wedding dress. I had a beaded dress that needed to be hemmed, brought in on the sides, and added cups to it. She really had a great eye and I felt confident leaving my dress with her. You can tell she works with her heart and is just so sweet. I would highly recommend bringing your wedding dress here if you are getting married! It ended up fitting my curves just perfectly!

So this review is long overdue… my wedding took place May 26, 2015 and I was still looking for an alterations place about 2 weeks before the wedding! O_O…I just needed to get my dress hemmed because everything else fit. I had gone to other alteration places to get a quote and I was going to be charge close to $ 200. The bottom of my gown was tulle and it was semi ball gown. Other places tried to convince me I needed other alterations but Kim was honest of what I needed done on the dress. Plus she made me feel comfortable and her dressing rooms are clean. Not only that she also took care of the tuxedo and two other suits… I received a call about 4 days after placing my order from Kim letting me know my dress, the tuxedo, and the 2 other suits were ready for pick up! I was in shock because I thought it would take longer. We ended up paying between $ 300 – 400 for everything.
It is good to make an appointment just in case. I called about 2 days before.
There are 2 dressing rooms and if you need help getting into your dress I would recommend bringing someone to assist you.
Do not forget to bring the shoes and undergarments you will be wearing the day of your event as this will help make the proper alterations.
There is plenty of parking since they share the parking lot with other small businesses. It is located by two major streets which are Warner and Beach blvd. If you don’t have to wait that long you can stop by the $ 3 theater that is across the street in the meantime.

My boyfriend and I bought my little sister a Michael Kors messenger bag and it was a bit long for her height so we needed to find a professional and reliable place that could adjust it!
The lady who helped them was kind and did flawless work. We were done within 5 minutes! Great service. My sister left satisfied and ready to enjoy her bag.
Thank you. We will be back for any other alterations in the future.

My new go-​to for alterations. Brought in a couple suit jackets and dress shirts to shorten the sleeves and take in the sides. The alterations were perfect, and completed on time. The price is higher than what I’ve paid in the past, but the quality is MUCH better. You definitely get your money’s worth here.

My go to place for alterations. They always do a great job and pricing is reasonable. If you need something quickly ask them. Sometimes they will tell you a week, but can usually help you out if you need it faster than that.

Kim is amazing! She tailored a 14 year old pair of leather pants and made them more slim fitting. They are BETTER than when they were new! She has a great eye for detail and her skills are fantastic. And she is so quick too!

I highly recommend the service here because the owner is very friendly and helpful. She always makes sure that I get my clothes finish on time, and she also offers me a lot of good deals. She is very nice and give me many good ideas how to choose the color that match with my skin tone. My Clothes are always come out as I’m expected. I had been to try other tailoring place before and not happy because the clothes were not fitted well and they sometimes didn’t clean up those excessive threads. At TK Tailoring, those things are never happen. Again, I highly recommend this place. You will be happy when you get there. The store are very clean and neat.
I also checked in to get 10% off that I think only applying in this holiday. I’m not surprising why the local Orange County magazine wrote the article to award their services. I also watched them on YouTube and recently know they are on America best talk show and channel 13. I see they can make a lot of beautiful women dress included wedding dress. You should check it out and also check in to get discounts. I will come back again for my New Year suit.

I first came in with my 7 year old daughter’s dress without my daughter and explained how I needed the dress to be fixed. Without my daughter as a model, she did the best she could (in less than 24 hours!) and told me that when I tried it on her, if it still didn’t fit, I could bring it back. It didn’t fit correctly, so I returned with my daughter to model. Kim was not only patient with my cranky daughter, but extremely kind in re-​fixing her dress on the spot. I am so impressed with her professionalism and understanding. I know that I’ll be returning in the future as clothing items need altering. Thank you so much!!!

Checked out Unilocal,and brought two wedding dresses here to get them hemmed.
Unfortunately, I apparently gained a lot of weight when I first bought the dress and when I brought the dress to be hemmed. Yep, to the point where it wouldn’t zip up. Thank goodness I had at least 6 weeks before the wedding.
Anyways, Kim was super-​sweet and super-​kind. Instead of saying that I was fat or anything, she recommended that I probably need to lose 5 pounds. She actually tried to see if there would be a way to make the dress a little bigger, but because there were sequins all around, there was no way to do it without it looking like a circus costume. With the second dress, it zipped up, but my shoulders were practically touching each other because of how tight it was. She kindly said that I would only need to lose around 5 pounds, and that it’d fit perfectly.
Well, I worked my ass off (literally) for 4 weeks, and then she called 3 weeks in to say my dresses were ready. Holy crap! Was not expecting her to finish that quickly, especially TWO wedding dresses. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to go in until the 4^th week (and 2 weeks before the wedding).
Oh man, I don’t think I’ve been so nervous in awhile. I ended up losing around 13 pounds to make sure I fit in the dress and… yay! It fit perfectly! It was awesomely hemmed, and it looked like the dress was made for me! :D Custom dresses are awesome. I gave Kim a big hug for making both dresses at an awesome length, and especially for changing part of the second dress so that it didn’t look too frumpy on me. Talk about stylin’! :D
I’ll probably bring in non-​wedding stuff down the line. She’s got my business! She’s super-​kind, super-​professional, and she did things perfectly for my dresses.
Also, because everything truly fit perfectly, she, as an Asian mom, told me to STOP losing weight! How often do you hear that coming from an Asian mom? Never!
So, I am very happy with my very satisfied experience with TK Tailoring. :)

I bought a wedding dress that I love online at a great price and was looking for a tailor to work on it but nobody wanted to alter it the way I wanted! I finally went in to TK Tailoring without an appointment just to see what she would say and instead of saying no and being rude like everyone else I had encountered, she had me try it on and explained why the alteration I wanted wouldn’t work with that style dress. Thank you for explaining dresses to the tom boy, because I was clueless! She explained how she would recommend I have it altered and I was really excited for it!
She even took the time to pin the alterations even though I didn’t have an appointment but didn’t ignore any customer that came in the shop. She greeted each person and would excuse herself from my dress (which was time consuming) pin the other customer’s hems, and come back to me. She was really nice and efficient and the dress looked great on me with her alterations… she even recommended a bustle to hold the train, which I loved!
My dress ended up being done a couple weeks early and when I went with my mom to pick it up, I tried it on and it fit perfectly! She said she even included bra clasps to keep my bra strap hidden by the dress… bonus! She also showed my mom where the bustles were and how they worked which is great because I was pretty clueless. AND she took off 10% for being a new customer!
Wonderful experience overall, I am totally hooked and will never go anywhere else to have my clothes altered! :-)

Wonderfully humble and talented tailors! I went to them a bunch back in 2009 for work clothes, and more recently had some jeans and dresses done here. They are prompt, honest and friendly and most importantly they do an outstanding job time and time again. I prefer TK by tenfold to Lucy’s in Seacliff.

I took some jeans to get hemmed, along with 2 of Jen’s items. The owner was very kind and did a nice job. She even complimented me on my driver’s license photo, lol. I guess, she meant that I look not as good in person, haha.
Anyway, I work nearby and will return with more pants in the future.
