Nora’s Tailor Shop

I gave Nora a difficult assignment: a leather jacket. Other tailors wouldn’t touch it because leather is a difficult fabric to manipulate, but she took it on and did a great job. Price was very reasonable and she finished the project very timely.
It doesn’t fit *perfect*, hence the 4-​star instead of 5, but it fits much better. She did a great job.
Remember: people rarely will review when someone in this profession does well. So there will naturally be more negative than positive reviews.

I brought her my $ 400 prom dress for a hem and alteration, I also asked her to replace a bead and add a hook to the back. When I got home with the dress there was a run on the side. I was given half of a hook and nothing to hook it to. I paid $ 100 for her alterations. The strap does not fit me, which she said she could easily fix initially, she sewed half of the strap to the cup and it looks awful. I’m canceling the check and never going there again. Awful. Even the hem looks terrible.

Totally inept at tailoring — used a heavy needle and thread to fix a zipper on Armani fine fabric — totally ruined the pants by breaking the fabric. Used a long basting stitch as a finished stitch. This is basic sewing 101. AVOID THIS VENDOR. ALSO KNOWN AS BOUTIQUE CHEZ MOI
Also only accepts cash on tailoring? Tax man where are you?

She can not sew in a straight line! I had my citizen jeans hemmed and they were uneven and the hem line curled??? Like all the other reviews, she was irritated when I brought them back to show her. So I just took my jeans and left. Will never go back. Pay the extra and get it done right elsewhere.

Just had two $ 500 suit coats ruined by this hack.
When I showed her the crooked sleeves and crooked buttons she agreed the job was not done right but somehow blamed me saying I asked for a rush job!!!
She then got very defensive and argumentative in front of other customers.
Let this be a warning everyone, I should have gone to Karl s.

I was visiting Rye for a family reunion and now I cannot believe I did not check Unilocal before I went. I bought a pair of True Religion Jeans at Neiman Marcus and wanted the original hem put back on (to make it look like it was never hemmed). This is a common practice here in Los Angeles. It costs a little more, but when you pay close to $ 300 for jeans you expect to have them done right! Nora said «no problem». I went back that afternoon and she had not put the hems back on and claimed I didn’t tell her! I own about 8 pairs of TR jeans and have always had them done that way!
She was belligerent and rude. Next day, they were not done correctly, seams did not line up, I was upset and just wanted them back. What really pissed me off though was a young mother walked into the store with a stroller and a new baby. Nora immediately screamed from the back of the store at the woman and said, «you cannot be in here with that carriage». The young mother was very embarrassed and confused. Nora said again, get out of the store with that carriage, it leaves black marks on the floor”.
I took my jeans, gave her the $ 20.00 and left. I have grandsons and if she’d have ever said that to my son, I may have stuffed those hems in her mouth. I hope no one goes in and buys her clothes or has the same experiences I’ve and others have had with Nora.
She is disrespectful to her customers, to the industry and incompetent.
