Alice’s Alterations

Alice LOST my blazer! I brought a practically brand new blazer in to Alice to have a new zipper sewn in and when I went to pick it up with my pink slip it was no where to be found. DO NOT LEAVE any important or expense items there or they might not be returned. Alice also did not apologize or compensate me for my missing blazer. Place is a TOTAL DUMP!!!

Alice’s is simply one of the best options for tailoring in the San Diego area. I had a very good quality suit tailored here (and on short notice!), receiving it back in two days with a perfect fit. Alice will take the time to have you stand on an elevated platform, pinning everything old-​style. The work itself is done to a level as good as factory or better. Very kind, and quick to please, I strongly recommend this Point Loma location. The only catch is parking– Park one street to the east, in the green zone, and walk it. The other spots are used by local residents, and are seldom available. Prices are a bit higher than market standard (about $ 30 to $ 40 for a two-​piece suit or uniform alteration), but she’s worth it. Great tailor, and she also has some nice ladies working there as well!

We called last minute on a Saturday afternoon to get alterations, she said be here in 15 minutes, we arrived and she had it done in less than 30 minutes! She was quick, and inexpensive! Will definitely go back again!

Alice’s Alterations is a cute little old-​school tailoring shop, totally deserving of all the 5-​star reviews! Located on Rosecrans next to Fashion Nails, and across the street from the Jack in the Box, Alice has been in business in this exact location for over 31 years now!
I had several business suit jackets that needed the sleeves hemmed, and she did a beautiful job, quickly (2 – 3 days’) time and reasonably ($ 15 each). If you’re in need of some alterations, would definitely recommend Alice!

Great shop with very reasonable prices and they are very on point with their modifications, I will definitely come back again! Such an underrated shop!

Awesome awesome awesome… came in on a Wednesday to have a suit tailored for a wedding on Saturday… I’m always last minute. She measured and pinned my suit in under 5 mins and told me i could pick it up the next day… amazing service and a fair price. I will definitely return to have more work done.

I cannot believe this place doesn’t have more reviews! So I had been procrastinating getting alterations to a suit that I had bought a while back for a wedding I was going to be a groomsmen in. Time got away from me and I only had 7 days before the wedding. I tried contacting a number of tailoring shops to get a quote on a last minute rush job, I was told everything from «no its impossible», to getting price quotes in the hundreds of dollars. During my lunch break, I decided to just drive around Point Loma and walked found Alice’s shop. She was so friendly when I walked in, she let me know that it was no problem to get my suit done in time and the price was also incredibly reasonable. I was measured in less than 90 seconds and she was completely honest on what she was able to modify and not modify. I was back in less than a week to pick up my suit and it looked amazing and fit perfectly!
Just a note, she is a cash only shop bust luckily there are several ATMs in walking distance if you forget.

Alice is awesome! She’s quick, cheap and does a great job at tailoring. Measurements take no more than 30 seconds an outfit. And if she can’t do something she is honest and doesn’t want to risk ruining an outfit like my prom dress I tried to make a size bigger after a few years (oops) but she let me know she can try but it probably won’t get much bigger and she saved me the money although she’s already reasonably priced. Don’t go anywhere else! This is the place! I only take my things here

I’m in the Navy so I was cautious about if they were familiar with military uniforms…
The result: An awesome job hemming my pants! It was a quick last minute job as well. Definitely recommended, I will be back for sure!

Great tailor! I brought my riding breeches that were ripped and she fixed them right up. Saved me from buying a new pair ! She only takes cash, so that’s my only gripe, but that’s her prerogative.

I needed to get 4 measurements for a dress that takes maybe 90 seconds total. I stopped at Tiffanys down the road and bopped in with a $ 5 for 90 seconds of her time and she giggled at me and said «no» after i asked politely if she could measure me… Confused… so i walked out went to Alice’s, was welcomed and greeted with a smile that took all of 90 seconds. If you’re comparing places locally, customer service wise my vote is Alice’s place.

I’ve been going to Alice for almost all of my alterations. She does a great job and has fair prices. My only concern is the organization of the shop… I have never had a problem or had an article lost. But sometimes when I go to pick up items it takes her a bit to locate them. She’ll be looking thru piles of clothes and sometimes picks up my clothes from different piles. I shouldn’t judge because maybe that is her system and it works for her! I have OCD tendencies so I may just not understand.
One time I sent my husband to go pick up my dress I had hemmed. She gave him the wrong one… Thank goodness he knows my style and came home with the right dress! But I have to say I have a 100% success rate with Alice for perfection over the past 4 years!

Alice does the best alterations in san diego, hands down. I have been going to her along with my mom and grandmother, for years. she did amazing things with my prom dresses in high school that were really difficult to alter. i’ve been to others, they aren’t as good as alice. she gets busy but always has your stuff on time. A+ work.

Alice is an excellent tailor! I’ve had her take in dress straps, reshape blouses, make flare legs into skinny pants/​jeans, hem denim, and rework side seams. All her work has been perfect and fits like a dream. She works with her family and runs her little shop with professionalism. I highly recommend her! She’s cash/​check only and you can pay upon drop off or pick up.
