Olgas Atelie

Fantastic! Needed a prom dress altered, did a beautiful job, quick, great price, will go back!

Olga is a fantastic woman to work with! She came to the rescue when I needed my bridesmaid dress altered for a wedding in less than 2 weeks and 4 of those days I would be out of town. Due to my strenuous commute that many of use Bay Arenas experience, I would be running late for a fitting. I would call to let her know about my much later ETA and she would calmly tell me to drive safe and that she will see me when I get there. How awesome!
Like OMG she she totally got me looking super fly and comfortable in my dress with only two fittings.
She is reasonably priced and such a sweet person to work with. Not to mention she is quick to and spot on. Just use her talent and it will be worth it.

Olga is a wonderful woman! I bought my dress on craigslist… larger is better she said. I took it to her. Feeling like my dress was pretty and fit okay. She worked her magic and now it fits like a glove. My wedding is tomorrow and I am so excited. I will never forget how nice she was and how she shared fun tips with me. Thanks Olga!!!

Olga is amazing! She altered my bridesmaid dress in only a few days and it’s beautiful. I’ve recommended her to many friends already!

Olga altered my bridesmaid dress and did an awesome job! I have recommended a few people to her already! Not only did she do a great job but she was a very sweet lady. I wanted to make some changes to the dress and she told me her honest opinion and provided other options. I will definitely go back to her for any other alterations for me or my family.

Olga is Fantastic! She really knows what she’s doing. Very satisfied with her work and I would recommend her to anyone looking for alterations.

Olga was wonderful! She allowed me to stop in for fittings after work, and she made sure my wedding dress for like a glove. Super sweet lady, with lots of talent!

I thought I’d give this place a try after reading all of the great reviews, and I’m really glad I did. My brother was out of town but wanted me to have the pants for his Halloween costume altered. It only took Olga a day to release the waste, seat, and hem it. Olga was very personable, sweet, and she has a lovely shop. There’s also some cool pics behind the register… She has some interesting clientele. I would definitely recommend Olga, and will probably use her services again — my only qualm was that it was a little pricey. Alteration’s for the aforementioned pants cost $ 37, but this is one of those businesses where you get what you pay for, and with Olga that means a quality job.

Sweet wonderful lady, does amazing work. I love how she is completely honest about things and will let you know if even an alter wont look good on you. I stupidly bought some clothes online that were on sale and ended up being hilariously too large on me. Seriously, like tents. So she had me try them on and told me what probably wouldn’t even be worth altering. She was also able to alter a dress for me in a short time frame as I needed it for an upcoming conference.

This woman is amazing. I can’t find a word great enough to express how much love I have for her! I brought in a wedding dress, and apologized for being two weeks away from the big day but I needed some small alterations done.
Olga looked at me, smiled and asked me to try it on so she could assess the «damage». She effortlessly examined the dress on me, told me her plan of attack and made sure I was taken care of! She called me back the next day, to have the first level of alterations checked, and called back two days later to tell me it was done and ready! She is affordable (for the amazing work she does, and how much detail she involves) and a lovely lady. I wish I could give a higher rating :) please go! Show her the love and respect she earned!

So I had taken my brand new Hudson Jeans into Dutch Girl Cleaners in Walnut Creek to be hemmed… when I went to go pick them up, they looked like they hadn’t been hemmed at all. Still was charged $ 18, but I took them back in for a second time and stood there while the woman who worked there pinned the bottom to mark the length. Picked them up today and they were so short they were like floods… and I was charged full price, yet again. I felt like I was going to cry, it isn’t often that I treat myself to expensive jeans and now I wasn’t going to be able to wear them. Then Dutch Girl Cleaners told me to call Olga from Olgas Atelie in Pleasant Hill. At first I was upset with Olga, projecting my experience with Dutch Girl Cleaners onto her… she was very patient, very kind, and fixed my jeans while I was there. Not only was she super sweet and hospitable, offering me candy and a comfy couch to sit on while I waited, but she made it her priority to fix my pants immediately. Then as if her excellent service wasn’t enough, she gave me a full cash refund on Dutch Girl Cleaners behalf… which she did not need to do. I tried to refuse it but she insisted, and told me next time if I ever needed an alteration to come directly to her. Which is exactly what I’m going to do. This woman takes pride in her work and it wasn’t her fault that Dutch Girl Cleaners pinned my jeans wrong… twice…and charged me for it… twice. I can’t recommend her more highly. Absolutely top notch service :)

I just picked up a 30’s vintage dress that Olga worked on for me. Of course, due to the age & current state of these period pieces, not everyone can or even wants to take on the challenge. I wanted to change the difficult to manage hook & eye side closure to a zipper. Not only did she do a beautiful job installing a hidden zipper, she noticed some unraveling seam stitching & fixed that. It looks beautiful! Then she proceeded to talk me out of repairing a skirt that wasn’t that flattering anyway!
I have periodically brought in repairs and reworks and have always been pleased with her attention to detail, beautiful work, and professionalism.

I’ve brought many pairs of pants, shirts and suits to get alterations done here and needless to say, I’ve been very happy with the results. It’s always nice going to a place where you are greeted with warm, friendly customer service.
I’ve seen places that offer lower pricing, but the pricing here is more than reasonable considering the quality of work.
The location can be a little tricky to find if it’s your first visit there, but it is worth the effort.

I have come here 5 times and will definitely come again. These ladies know their stuff! They are friendly and very knowledgeable. The first time I came here, was for them to alter my bridesmaid dress. I was very apprehensive on how they would alter the top of the dress that required a lot of work to be done. Yet, they made me feel comfortable and explained what they would do and to trust them; it would be great. I left there nervous, but figured they knew what they were doing and wouldn’t ruin my expensive dress. I can honestly say, they exceeded my expectations. I was so happy with the end result!

I cannot rate the Olgas highly enough!
I’m a soon-​to-​be bride and I came to the store with one of those $ 1000+ dresses with beading and lace and the whole shebang. and it was 4 sizes too big! The best part? I ordered it that way!
That being said, I came to Olgas Atelie after reading all of the Unilocaler reviews and comparing them to other seamstresses in the area. I didn’t get a quote from Olgas, but, the other stores quoted me $ 500-​$ 700, the Olgas also made me feel more comfortable, getting it done in 2 weeks wasn’t even a big deal.
I had a lot done, in addition to taking it down 4 sizes (and having it fit Perfectly at the first fitting) I also had a bustle and cups built into the dress. The lines on the dress are still perfect, it fits so nicely, is comfy, and all totaled: under $ 200.00.
That’s INSANELY cheap.
And, yes, you get ready/​dressed and re-​dressed in small sectioned off dressing areas and yep you sure do call out your information. Why? Because it’s a small business and awesome business and that’s the way they roll.
Thank you so much to both of the Olgas, I will send pictures after my big day!

I needed some uniform pieces altered, and had heard about this place. Not only are the ladies super sweet, they practically rebuilt my pieces and made the fit me perfectly. they had me try the items on a few times to ensure the fit was the best they could do, and they made it so easy. needless to say the next time i need alterations, I will absolutely go here. The prices are extremely reasonable and the work is exceptional. can’t ask for anything better!

I got married recently and had my bridal gown altered here. It was a good decision to go here. To be clear, my gown was not one of those $ 1000+ gowns with a lot of details and beadings. However, it wasn’t simple either because it did have multiple layers (it was an empire waist, A shaped gown with tulle on outside). I needed to hem the bottom so it won’t be too long and take in a little bit in the bust area. I also had her remove the white sash that came with the dress and replace it with a champagne one. She also added the french bustle to my gown!
Olga was very straight forward and to the point. She quickly assessed what needed to be done and how to go about it. Her price is resonable and definitely what I am willing to pay for what she’s doing. The only thing that I was disappointed was forgetting my fitting day. Good thing I went in early enough so I didn’t mind going back two weeks later and she gave me a discount on my former bridesmaid dress I brought in to alter. Olga was very apolegic about it.
The fomer bridesmaid dress done when I went in for the fitting and it was exactly how i wanted. The bridal gown was done two weeks after the fitting and it fitted great. I did notice she forgot to fix the hook above the zipper on the back, but that was done right away so I was able to take it home then. I was so happy to the end product and highly recommend this local spot for alteration!

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!!! Horrible service, rude lady, false advertising and just an overall BAD experience. Take your clothes elsewhere!
Wow, what a horrible experience! I’d never gotten any tailoring done and since I’m new to the area I came on Unilocal to find a place.
I had 1 pair of jeans to be altered. I asked how much and she changed the price 5 times before settling on $ 18.50. I tried on the jeans so she could measure and she was very hasty and rushed… she even POKED ME with the pin!!! Ouch! She didn’t apologize, just said that they were «too tight». When I asked her to take the Bell-​bottom in a little, she said, oh that will be $ 37.
She yelled to me for my personal information while I was in the dressing room putting my work clothes back on. When I went to pay, I handed her my credit card and she said for «such small amounts of money» they wouldn’t accept a card, only cash or check.
I went back to pick up my jeans yesterday and though she was pleasant, I didn’t find the work that impressive.

Went in after reading all of the great reviews! I am a bridesmaid this summer and needed my dress to be hemmed so I dropped in and was warmly welcomed by Olga and another woman. They were so friendly and professional. I will have to write an updated review once my dress is finished!

You will not be disappointed! Olga has fitted my wedding dress along with countless items for my husband (he’s a difficult size). She is very quick and her work is exceptional!
