Savannah Tailoring

My sister recommended me here. Savannah is the greatest seamstress I know. She has fixed multiple pieces of clothing for me. She has affordable and reasonable prices, and gets them done with urgency. I highly recommend her for any of your seaming needs.

My daughter does competitive dance and the band around the top of her costume was snug. It has to be worn a few times a month and over a 6 month period. We were hesitant to alter it as we had no clue on how to make it bigger without changing the look. We took it to Savannah and without hesitation, she quickly came up with a solution to make it larger without cutting the fabric or adding fabric. We are over the moon happy how Savannah was able to adjust the dance top. My daughter no longer complains about the snug fit. Best of all, her dance coach didn’t even noticed that we had altered it. It was done seamlessly and quickly! We appreciate it so much and are now devoted customers. We trust Savannah with all our altering needs and highly recommend her!

Savannah is awesome! Her work is amazing and her prices are reasonable. She provides quality work in a timely fashion. Her shop is small and can be easy to miss. It’s tucked away at the end of California avenue near the train station. I have not been disappointed with her tailoring, turn around time, or pricing.

Savannah is awesome. Excellent work, great prices, and can do just about anything. I’ve had many shirts adjusted to fit my odd shape. She helps me look great. Suits altered suits, a tux, etcetera.
She stands behind her work and will do repairs of old work for free (that is only come up once).

I went to her to repair my suit and expensive jeans and I needed them to be extended. The work here is amazing she made my suit and expensive jeans a perfect fit. So I would recommend her to anyone and I am definitely coming back to her for any of my tailoring needs!

This review is long over due! Savannah is amazing! I’ve been coming to her for 6 years! I’m a 5’2 curvy lady and it’s hard for me to find the perfect fit. My clothes are either too long or need a little adjustment in the bust. I’ve had all my designer clothing tailored here because she knows what she’s doing and doesn’t compromise the fashion. The quality, time, and price are unbeatable. I definitely recommend coming here!

I brought the entire family’s most special clothing back to Savannah for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, and she could not have done a better job. On a tight deadline, Savannah shortened my daughter’s dress in a manner to be consistent with its mermaid shape, and my daughter felt like a million dollars. She took in and shortened my husband’s best suit (designer, Italian, and super top quality) in just two days! And she made my son look like a rock star in his tailored suit. Plus she was super-​sweet to our family dog!
Savannah is extremely good at her craft. She also is professional and prompt. Her prices are appropriate as well. I am so happy I found Savannah! She is a hidden gem and Palo Alto secret that I don’t mind sharing. :)

I had my wedding dress taken in by the bust (about an inch). My wedding dress is simple without any frills or sparkles and so I assume it was not a very difficult job, but I was satisfied with Savannahs work. She made it to be a perfect fit, the price was right, and it took only a couple of days.

I asked Savannah to work a small ‘miracle’ during the holiday season. In short, I inheirited two suits which were WAY too large. I entered the shop to the warmest of smiles, it was Savannah. She asked me to put the suits on and to her shock (I interpret the shock from the look on her face).“Oh my, you lost a Lot of weight!” Needless to say, Savannah needed to virtually cut the suits in half and begin anew. All this, she did… and [with the short turnaround — I needed the suits for NYE] more. I am a FAN and will be bringing Savannah Tailoring All my tailoring needs. I would urge you to do the same!

Savannah is prompt, reasonably priced, efficient and friendly.
I have been to Savannah Tailoring twice now for three different clothing items: a Halloween costume and two bridesmaid dresses.
Halloween costume: I bought a superhero costume (crop top with a cape and a skirt) online but it was far too large and consequently did not fit nor look attractive! Savannah was able to take my measurements, modify the costume and make it fit PERFECTLY! I was incredibly impressed. When I asked her if she could change the costume a bit (attach the cape to the front), she did so and it looked like the costume came that way!
Knee-​length chiffon bridesmaid dress: I unexpectedly lost weight before my friend’s wedding and needed a last-​minute tailoring of the dress. Just like with the Halloween costume, Savannah helped make the dress fit like a glove! The dress had a lot of little frills which I thought might be difficult to tailor without changing the look, but this didn’t happen. Savannah understood I was in a rush and was very accommodating.
Long polyester bridesmaid dress: This bridesmaid dress was a one-​size-​fits-​all purchase, so I obviously needed it to be tailored to my body. Savannah did a great job and made the dress fit me very well. I’m not sure if my bride-​to-​be friend wants a flare at the bottom or more of a straight look, but Savannah said she was more than willing to change the dress at no extra charge if my friend decides that the dress needs to be modified. I really appreciate that Savannah cares about her customers and wants them to be happy!
I can see how other reviews haven’t been as pleasant, as one time her shop was closed unexpectedly, but I had also come at a time I hadn’t told her I was going to stop by. She’s definitely down to business but so far, I’ve been pleased and plan to return!

I brought a suit in to Savannah Tailoring for some pretty basic adjustments: hemming the pants length, shortening the jacket sleeves, and letting out the pants waist. Each adjustment turned out as passable, but nowhere near perfect.
1. The pants were originally hemmed at least an inch longer than I had requested. Thankfully, the lady was able to redo the hem while I waited (about 5 minutes) and the second attempt was OK.
2. The sleeves were also almost an inch too long, and unfortunately they could not be fixed on the spot. I could have asked for them to be redone, but I needed the suit for an event that evening.
3. I requested that the pants be let out an inch, and instead they were let out over two inches. Not a huge deal, but a little vexing nonetheless.
The price, however, was quite reasonable. For the three alterations listed above, the price I paid was $ 50. And my suit was ready on time (about a week after I brought it in).
Overall, this place seems adequate for alterations that don’t require a high degree of precision. It’s budget friendly and prompt enough, although I probably won’t be coming back.

Have you ever met someone where by just looking at them annoyed the crap out of you? Well that’s my experience with Savannah. Let me explain why before you think I’m being mean.
I brought my jeans here to get them hemmed because the location was convenient. I wanted to keep the original hem on my skinny jeans and it has a zipper on the sides.
Savannah told me she can’t keep the hem because of the zippers. And she kept insisting it’s not possible. She even suggested to do it without the hem and just wash it and it will start to look like the originals (WTF). So finally I told her I’m a seamstress but I just don’t have the proper machines for hemming jeans and then she quickly said OK, I’ll do it.
When I picked up my jeans, it was not done great. It wasn’t horrendous but the hems were not even. My left leg is slightly longer than the other and the stitches were kinda coming off. I thought she would at least trim the thread!
To be honest she already has that deceitful look and her customer service blows, so after that incident, I was done with coming to her shop.
Bonus: I make a lot of clothing (mainly lingerie) and I am looking for a seamstress in the USA who can make them for me. For a pair of boyshorts she said she would charge me $ 50. (WTF) And it is something that would retail at $ 20 at most! What is she smokin?
Maybe I’m being harsh but this was my experience and I’m totally turned off by this greedy and deceitful vibe.

I just got my dress taken in… I brought it in Thurs, asked for it to be done by Friday night, and it was! The tailoring works perfectly, she fit it to me while I was in the store. It was $ 10 for the 24-​hour service, but I really needed the dress done quickly. I am more than happy! If I ever need something done again, I’ll be back here.
Edited to add: I actually did come back for a few other items, and they were only okay. Got new elastic on a few skirts and the way they did it just left the skirts looking a little odd. Oh well. Still decently cheap and fast.

Savannah is amazing! I have been to her many times to have jeans and juicy couture pants hemmed and she does an amazing job. On a few occasions she has done it right there while I wait and had it done within 10 minutes! On my really cute jeans that had details at the hem, she took them up and used the original hem. They looked like new. Highly recommend!

I love Savannah! She does great work and is always smiling. She loves to give me the «needle» about sending me to the lady barber next door

Had a pair of jeans hemmed here. She took the time to actually fit them on me instead of just making me guess at the inseam I needed like some places do. She did great work, fast turnaround and decent prices. I’ll be back!

Savannah’s great! She incredibly friendly and offers fabulous prices! She did an amazing job on a dress of mine. I’m definitely going back :)

I recently brought in a load of winter wears I had been pushing to the far side of my closet.
My workaholic, no more benchpress physique needed adjustments for a few classic threads I used to adore. And there was a ‘lucky’ pair of jeans (I found $ 80 in the pocket at the thrift store) by some Scandinavian designer. They weren’t the smartest fit, but seemed longer lasting than my levi’s.
Savannah efficiently measured the alterations needed on each item and had them ready on the day she promised. I wasn’t able to arrive until a couple of days later, but she gave me an appreciative smile and incredible value for my invoice anyway. She even reworked that lucky pair of jeans so they hugged my buns a bit tighter.
Excellent Experience — Five pants, three jeans, and two mens blazers. Plus a few missing buttons on various shirts, etc.
We’re lucky to have a tailor in the neighborhood. Savannah’s shop is conveniently located near the train station directly across California Avenue from Mollie Stone’s grocery. It’s a bit hidden if you walk from the train station, but dead simple to access service once inside. Great service and quality work.

The lady here (Savannah?) is very sweet, and speaks English just well enough. She sometimes does things while I wait, and hardly charges anything. She doesn’t take credit cards or make margaritas, but I can hardly see where she’s fixed moth-​holes or minor tears. She’s also very convenient to folks near California Avenue.

Here’s the thrilling conclusion to my tailoring experience here:
I returned to Savannah Tailoring on Monday, 1÷26÷09 and luckily it was open! My pants were not going to be held hostage!
Me: I stopped by to pick up my pants on Wed. and you weren’t there.
Savannah: I was sick and couldn’t open that day.
Me: It would have been helpful if someone put sign on the door or if there were a voicemail message to indicate you would be closed during normal business hours.
Savannah: I asked my cousin to put up a sign, and he/​she couldn’t get there until later. My cousin put up a sign at 12pm.
Me (deep in thought): (Since I was there at 11, it must have been placed after I was there.)
Me: I was counting on the pants and it was very inconvenient for me not to be able to pick them up on Wed.
Savannah: Sorry.
Me: So, how much do I owe you?
Savannah: $ 9 (which was exactly the price written on my original slip).
Me (thinking): (Um. I was inconvenienced. And you’re still charging me full price for my tailoring. This isn’t very good customer service.)
Me: Here you go.
I have to say that she did a good job on the pants. The hem was stitched well, and they were the right length. However, even though Savannah Tailoring is in a more convenient location than One Hour Cleaners, I do not want to give her more business based on the customer service I received on my first visit there. She lost a potential long-​time frequent customer.
After all, I’m short and will always need my pants hemmed.
