VIP Alterations

Just picked up my dress from VIP and it’s perfect! I purchased this rare one of a kind piece but was in between sizes… The small didn’t fit my bust but the medium was so enormous it was unwearable. VIP to the rescue! I brought it in and they basically remade the entire dress to fit correctly.
Could not be happier I brought it in to this specific place. I plan on bringing a few pair of pants next week too :)
Thanks again!

They are great. The suit jacket looks like it came from the store and was never altered. Great job. TY!

I came in here on Wednesday and they had my Prom dress ready for me the following Saturday. On Wednesday I came in, after finding out about VIP Alterations on Unilocal,and they were able to help me out so conveniently and perfectly. I was such a mess and in such a rush because of my last minute prom errands and here they made everything so easy! They even gave me a discount AND let me come back in when I realized I didn’t have the right heels AND had the dress ready by my very short deadline. Thank you, thank you! I will definitely be only coming here when I need anything of mine or my family’s altered.

I purchased a bridesmaid dress from a bridal store in Torrance, when I picked up my dress it was two sizes too small in the chest area. I tried to take the dress to different alteration businesses and they would not touch the dress.
I took my dress to Alberto in a panic, he calmed me down and said he would take care of it. The wedding was in a week he told me he would have the dress ready in 3 days! I came in on Thursday morning tried on the dress and it fit perfectly! Alberto saved me from having to buy another dress! Thank you thank you to Alberto! The things he can do with some scissors and a needle!

I was looking to alter my wedding dress. I am glad that I ended up going V.I.P Alterations. The customer service is on point, they are all sweet and friendly.
Alberto did an amazing job. He also fixed minor details on my dress making it look like new.
Would recommend this place to anyone around Ventura County.
Thank you Alberto, my dress fits perfectly!

Absolutely amazing! Alberto and everyone at the VIP Alterations are simply the best and I am so glad that VIP Alterations has been working with me to make my dress flawless. Just had my first fitting and it looked unbelievably beautiful! He has such attention to detail and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of highly talented people to be working on my dress. Worth every cent! You won’t be disappointed with his work!

I have had three suits and pants tailored at VIP alterations and have been extremely stoked on the results every time. The owner and master tailor Alberto is always there and always extremely professional and knowledgeable which is helpful for someone who does not wear suits often like myself. He’s also extremely fashionable and knew what I wanted in terms of the fit of my suit before I could even explain it. Definitely beats going to any of the big-​name suit retailers any day. I’ll be back with my next new suit for sure. Thank you Alberto!

Alberto and his team did a beautiful job on my wedding dress!!! Will definitely come back with any of my alternation needs. Alberto is very detail oriented and wants perfection. Exactly what is needed in this line of work. I will definitely recommend his business to others and family and friends. Can’t wait to wear my dress– it looks beautiful and fits like a glove!

Very pleased with the team at VIP Alterations. I wasn’t a fan of the work that was done at the department store on my suit and took it in to Alberto and team and they managed to change my suit from ordinary to extraordinary.
I would recommend this place if you were looking for a custom look that is bound to get noticed. I took another suit to the team this week, and will be sure to post some pictures once that bad boy Is done.
Highly recommended :)

Got my tux for my wedding altered here. Couldn’t be more happy with the results. Both pants and jacket fit perfectly now. Will definitely be coming back for future alterations.

Went to VIP alterations for my beautiful Tori Burch dress to be altered
On the top only, Alberto did a wonderful job. They really treat you like a
VIP.

God bless you, Alberto! When my mother passed away the last thing on my mind was «would my LBT (little black dress) fit?» Well two days before the funeral I found out it didn’t…
I quickly checked out who had the best Unilocal reviews in TO… and it was Alberto @ VIP Alterations. This was so last minute that I just hoped he could make a quick adjustment in a short 24hr period… but, I also told Alberto I’d always loved the dress & knew it really needed smaller shoulders, to be shortened and well an overall re-​work.
Once he heard about my mom passing… he took it upon himself to surprise me with the most professional, beautiful re-work…to create a dress designed just for me! The dress fit like a glove & was incredibly flattering… and he surprised me again when he called in less than 24hrs to say it was ready!
His kindness & artful craftsmanship made a difficult day a little bit easier… when I didn’t have to think twice about adjusting my dress or holding my breath to make it look right. It was simply perfect.
Thank you so much, Alberto!

There’s a reason Alberto has 5 stars! He altered my wedding dress very quickly and it’s beautiful. The best part is that he didn’t push me for anything. He said that certain parts could have been changed if I wanted to, but when I said no he didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. Very reasonable prices for all that was done to my dress. Awesome guy and business all around!

I needed tuxedos altered for myself and my son. These were not expensive or fancy before Alberto stepped in. When he was done both tuxes looked expensive and tailor made. I am far more confident as I approach my wedding with my son/​Best Man at my side.
Thank you for helping to make my big day even better!

Great service. I needed slacks tapered at the leg, hemmed, and the waist needed fixing. in addition, i needed the pants the same night. Alberbto made it happen. he shows a lot of passion in his work.

What a terrific find! I needed a work suit altered, and Alberto did a beautiful job making a Macy’s suit look bespoke. I needed the same suit cut down a couple sizes six months later, and Alberto did the same beautiful job (and with a 3-​day turnaround!). I’m delighted and will continue to bring all of my alterations to VIP!

This review is long overdue. The recent events in my life left me in need of a tailor: I had 1) moved from NYC to an unfamiliar SoCal and 2) recently lost a lot of weight and needed a complete wardrobe overhaul. I can litter this review with adjective after superfluous adjective to describe how indispensable Alberto is to me, but I think its best illustrated with a couple of stories, so bear with the long review ahead.
The very first time I came to Alberto, I simply needed some jeans hemmed. He measured me up (I was wearing running shoes at the time) and showed me what he believed to be the appropriate length. I asked for him to keep it longer, he politely questioned my choice of length, I insisted, and he obliged. Of course when I tried them on with the correct shoes, they were way too long. I sheepishly returned to Alberto, let him know that he was right, and that I needed him to shorten it some more. Of course it was my fault, so I fully expected to be pay again, but Alberto simply grinned and told me he would take care of it free of charge. I knew I had found my tailor.
January 1^st, 2016, yup New Year’s Day. I had recently purchased a Brioni sportcoat that I simply couldn’t pass up and was hoping to wear to an event the following evening. I called the store not expecting it to be open but Alberto picked up (he was doing some end of the year inventory clean up) and told me to come on by. I thought I just needed the sleeves to be finished, but to my dismay, Alberto shows me that my $ 4000+ jacket needs a bit more work (see picture). He is able to take the jacket in to get rid of the ruffling in the back, shorten the hemline, taper the sleeves, and finish the sleeves… all by the next afternoon (and all with impeccable craftsmanship). Oh, and I should mention that this included installing surgeon’s cuffs! The end result was a sportcoat that fit like a glove. The next day at the event I received numerous compliments. One guy asked where I got the jacket, and I replied «Bergdorf by way of Alberto in Thousand Oaks.» (gotta give credit where credit is due!).
There is nobody I would trust more with my clothes. His craftsmanship rivals the best and most expensive tailors I used in Manhattan and his customer service cannot be beat.

Alberto WOWed me instantly. I had a quick «pants ripped» emergency (lol) at work and needed it done right away. I called and a lady told me to come in, it will take a few minutes. Came in and left within five minutes and Alberto didn’t allow me to pay ANYTHING. He told me the service is on us! Mind you, I’ve never been here, but with that gesture he has my business for a lifetime! I work at Audi, so all the suites at work will be coming to Alberto for tailoring.
Great guy, check him out if you’re in TO.

Before I met Alberto and his expert staff I thought I knew what customer service, and attention to detail was. But now I know!
From the moment I stepped in I could tell I was going to to be taken care of right!
My measurements were taken with ease and within moments Alberto knew what needed to be done for my jackets.
He made some suggestions on the alterations that I thought were awesome, because of his expert knowledge and taste I received more than I could’ve imagined.
I can’t wait to go back and to tell all of my friends where they need to start getting their wardrobes tailored if they really want to look sharp.
Thank you Alberto And to VIP Tailor See you soon!

The only thing VIP about this place is the price you’ll pay.
I had a suit tailored here recently. Would give 0 stars if possible for poor workmanship and customer service. Compared to other tailors, the prices are very expensive. But it’s VIP right? Not exactly. As soon as I put my suit on my sister noticed one of the seams was open. There was no thread visible in the seam (back of jacket), as if a spot had been missed. As I had traveled across the US, I was stuck looking somewhat shabby for my event.
When I returned with my jacket the owner Alberto offered to repair the seam, blaming it on the thread. I explained that in this case I paid for the job to be done right the first time and I would like a partial refund ($ 45 out of a total bill of $ 220) for the alteration which was incorrectly performed. Without pause, the owner refused, accused me of being dishonest, added that I could have gained weight (I’m 6’4″ 190 for the last 5 years) and ripped the seam, and reiterated that he thought he did a great job. It’s a problem with the thread he says. But you only use the best thread I ask. Of course, only the best thread he says.
Other highlights:
–During my initial appointment I waited and extra 20min while walk in customers were helped. Owner/​tailor did not show up until halfway through my fitting
–had to come back twice as initial alterations were wrong. Pants too long by a lot. And clearly assistant failed to spot open seam.
My recommendation. Go to golden thimble in spite of the odd hours. Or go to the place next to whole foods. Dont waste your time and money here.

Muchísimas gracias Alberto las alteraciones de el vestido de mi hija quedo P E R F E C T O.
Recomiendo tu trabajo al 100% sin Temor a equivocarme.
