Capitol Tailor & Alterations

Called before coming by and spoke to a nice woman. Came in and was helped by Kathy. Very helpful. Put my bridesmaid dress on and showed her what I needed and wanted. Three weeks later my dress was ready. Fit great, pleased with the work. Will return.

We should never judge a book by it’s cover right? Well it stands true here. No glamour, no glory, when you are running a storefront from your home, but when you can execute, that is ALL that matters.
I’ve taken a couple of slacks here, and Catherine (I believe she is the owner) is a perfectionist! One may think a hem is a hem, but I’ve experienced other places that have ruined such a simple task.
For this particular visit, I brought in a pair of slacks that was part of a 2 piece suit. There was a slight tear by the pocket, which looked like it was repairable since it was located near the outer seam. Bringing it in on a Saturday afternoon, I knew my chances of getting it the next day were slim to none. Catherine mentioned that it would be ready Monday, but I asked here if there was any way to get it done by Sunday. I know… I know… probably unreasonable, but I had to ask.
Her response: «Sorry, we are actually closed on Sunday.»
Me: «There is no possible way to get it done by Sunday (*With a sad face*)
Her response: «Ok, how about you come back at 5:00PM today» (About 2.5 hours after I actually got there!!)
No side note here my friends! This is just flat out AWESOME customer service! When I picked up my slacks, they were repaired PERFECTLY! Will I come back here? An emphatic YES! I’ve compared their prices to other places in the Bay, and I’m pretty confident they are way more competitive than others.

The woman who worked here helped me out big time! Did a fantastic job on my shirt and I won’t hesitate to come back here! She was very funny and friendly too. Very cheap + great quality. Well worth the wait

This is a very small business in a house located right on Capital Ave. I had 3 pieces done and I was supposed to pick it up in a week. After a week went by, I came back and the lady told me it still wasn’t finished and to come back later at 4pm because she had just started that day. I was disappointed because it was supposed to be done that day.
The price is reasonable and the clothes turned out great but when it comes to getting it done on time, not reliable.

The ladies that work here are fantastic and very courteous. They take their time and make sure they get it right, and even if it doesn’t work out, they want to make sure they get it right until you’re satisfied. They are familiar with modern tailoring styles as I can see from their walls having pages from the catalogues of J-​Crew, Express, etc.
I brought in a suit blazer and they altered the waist fit and the sleeves’ length. They measured me precisely and wanted to make sure I knew what it was going to be before they worked on it.
I came in 4 days later and they got it right, and did a fantastic job. They did it on a dime and the alterations look clean. They also hemmed some jeans for me and fixed a french cuff shirt that was eating my hand whole haha.
Will see them again to fix another blazer of mine, keep up the good work ladies!
Also, keep in mind, no tailor is perfect, sometimes they make mistakes or need to make adjustments, be patient and talk specifically about what you’re looking for or you won’t get what you want.

I came here to get a dress altered that I planned on wearing to a friends wedding. I have broad shoulders and needed extra material added so that the dress would fit. I brought the dress about 3 weeks prior and I was a little anxious when I was told the dress would be ready a day before the wedding.
Because I thought it was an easy job, I stopped by a few days before the expected date and hoped that it would be ready sooner than anticipated. I was told I could not see my dress because it was not ready. It made me wonder that the dress hadn’t been worked on at all. Nonetheless, it was ready by the forecasted date and it fit perfectly. Although I would have preferred that I have extra time, before the wedding, in the event the dress didn’t fit and would need to be altered once again.
Overall I am happy with the final product and would come here again for future alterations.

Brought in a suit jacket to get tighten up on a Monday evening and got it back early Friday, great quality and good prices from this family run business. Parking is the only minor inconvenience, the place is a residential that has the parking lot (drive way) facing a busy street, so getting out maybe a little tricky during busier hours. Also if some one parks behind you, you have to wait for them to leave before you can leave. I would probably just park on the street around the corner and walk there.

Got my suit altered here and I am very pleased with their work. I believe it is a small family business and the Vietnamese lady that is in charge is incredibly nice. She always has a smile on her face and friendly to talk to. They also got my stuff done very fast and the price is definitely reasonable. Will definitely come back.

I’ve always gone to Linda’s to get my clothes altered, but she’s just so expensive now. I wanted to get my prom dress altered and hemmed, so I went to Linda’s and she wanted to charge more than $ 80. I came here because of the great reviews I’ve seen. I’m so satisfied with the outcome of my dress and even more satisfied she only charged $ 55! I will definitely come back more often.

I bought a peacoat for winter but the smallest size was still too big on me and I didn’t want to return it since I really liked the style. I wasn’t sure that it could be altered considering it’s a pretty heavy coat but she took a look at it and said it’s not even a problem. When I came to pick it up, the new fit was like a match made in heaven!
The tailor is an incredibly sweet and talented Vietnamese lady who has been doing this for over 30 years! I’m so glad I found her and will be definitely coming back when I need more things altered :)

awesome hem job and the vietnamese lady is super friendly too!

Catherine is very nice and price is very reasonable. She altered 3 of my bridesmaid dresses and everything turned out great. She only worked on it for 3 days and to top it all of she only charged $ 85 for 3 dresses. She really knows what she’s doing. I will definitely go back to her.

I never would have thought that i’d leave a review for an alteration job hahah. I’m doing it because Catherine is actually really good. I’ve gotten about 5 pairs from her and love them! She’s fast at working on them also. Her shop is at her house but they actually have a store front!!! Highly recommended

This place is run by a very sweet little Vietnamese lady. I have my jeans hem here and she charges $ 5 for regular hem and $ 10 for original hem. She does all my alterations at a great price! I used to go to a place by Valley Fair mall that did the same thing for TWICE as much! My sister got married this year and we had all the bridesmaids get their dresses taken in and shortened. they turned out absolutely fantastic! Her shop is connected to her home so that’s probably how she keeps her prices low.
Parking is a little hard getting out of the driveway because it’s located on a main street. However, you can always park on the side of the shop or across the street if you want to be safe.

This tailor is AWESOME! I am a perfectionist, and all I can say is this tailor knows what she’s doing. Her attention to detail, and her knowledge of high end tailoring was very impressive.
I took a bunch of high quality jeans and tops to get hemmed and altered, and the prices were reasonable, and the turn around time was quick for the amount of stuff I had.
My brother also took a bunch of his suits there to get altered too, and he says he loves the fit! She does an amazing job with everything, and I recommend her 100%!
It’s also in a convenient location, close enough to Evergreen where I can drive, and just off 680 so you can drive to Great Mall afterwards ;-)
