Maria’s Tailoring

She is great !!! A life saver !! She made my mermaid tail for Halloween in one week, after some other lady cancelled me in the last minute. Her work is excellent, I drove all the way from corona just because she was the only one to commit to make my costume. Definitely A+

Oh Unilocalers… I was really expecting 5 stars from all these raving reviews, but I can’t give this experience a rave review. Why? Well, each time I expected my alteration to be ready, my item isn’t ready .
I dropped off a coat last week, Thursday, was promised the coat on a Monday. I even told her more time would be acceptable since I knew the alteration was complicated. She assured me, Monday afternoon.
I skipped going on Monday just in case she needed more time, and late Monday night I get a text message reminding me to pick up my jacket (see photo).
So when I arrive at noon on Tuesday, guess what? she told me it wasn’t ready, and she was just working on it. What the heck? I asked why did she text me if the jacket had not been worked on yet. She did not have an answer except it would be ready tomorrow, Wednesday.
Wednesday (today) I show up and guess what? she looks surprised to see me. I’m not sure why but she says she thought I would be back Thursday. By now I’m frustrated. I told her I’m coming back not Thursday but FRIDAY — and that should be more than enough time for my coat. IF it’s not ready, she needs to text or call me.
I’m coming back Friday… But right now it’s barely a 2 star experience. Will update on Friday (if it’s even ready).
Opened weekdays 9 – 7, Saturday 10 – 5, closed Sunday. Located just south of the 22 freeway off Tustin Avenue, in a nondescript strip mall with a Yum Yum donuts and a Back to Life chiropractic place is this tiny tailoring store. Both the strip mall and the store is so nondescript, you most likely may have driven right by it, and didn’t even know.
UPDATE:
I arrived on Friday at 12:30 PM, and my coat and the pants were ready. The total for altering a lined overcoat ($ 45) plus 4 hems ($ 6) was $ 69 but for my troubles she gave me a 10% discount, which came to $ 62. I didn’t tip.
Coat was done very well. I haven’t tried the pants, but it seems ok. No loose threads or off colors.
For now, 2 stars still stands because of the mis-​promised, and a small 10% off for my troubles. One time error is ok, but making me come back 3x in a week is unacceptable. I may come back to hem some work dresses… And will adjust my review accordingly.

I checked out Maria’s Tailoring because of the high reviews and it’s just 5 minutes from my place. I had a bridesmaid dress hemmed. I brought it in on Friday and pick it up the following Wednesday. The tailor is really warm and did an EXCELLENT job on the altered length on my dress. I think $ 25 for is worth it for the great work. I will be back if I need more items tailored!

Excellent. I found my new go to tailor. The lady who altered my dress (I didn’t get her name, unfortunately) is excellent at what she does. My original go to place used to be OH, but their service and communication has gone downhill since I first started going there and when I got lectured by them for their mistake, enough was enough. They’re open on Saturdays and so I figured I would try this new place out because most places close by the time I’m off on weekdays and are also closed on weekends. This place is open until 7 pm weekdays and open on Saturdays (not sure about Sundays). I dropped by and tried my dress on. I mentioned that I wanted to shorten it a bit, but didn’t mention anything else. She immediately went to the shoulder straps of the dress and shortened them too, noticing how they were also too long for my petite frame. I know it’s probably not a big deal, but I was impressed she caught on before I said anything. She charged me $ 16 for everything and said it’d be ready on Monday. Price is a factor for me to consider. When I search reviews on Unilocal,I try to look for reviews that give me an idea of how much I’ll be paying. After trying places that I felt were too pricey for me to afford for all my tailoring needs, I am finally glad to be able to say I found the one I’ll be making my permanent pick.
Fast forward to Monday, I picked it up and the quality was impeccable. I still can’t even tell any work was done. There’s no loose threads or weird stitches like OH left on my clothes. Also important to note that she is a very sweet and helpful lady. When I asked for her opinion, she gave it to me honestly. When I called before her business was open and got no answer, I just forgot about it. She actually called me back, which is what got me to try her business out too. Needless to say, the customer service is great here.
One thing to mention is it’s cash or check only. No credit cards accepted as of now.
Quality, price, service… she’s got it all. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone.

Maria’s Tailoring is awesome I had a small sewing project for my business she gave me a very fair price delivered the project on time and did very high-​quality work I would highly recommend her!

Maria’s Tailoring Tustin CA. When you want it fixed to perfection. I’m so glad you’re here. K

Great customer service from «Guille» the owner and quality work. I’m a regular now!
I’ve taken in several slacks for hem alterations and coats. Impeccable work.

I have been loosing weight very quickly and was tired of buying new clothing. well not until I found this little gem… The owner here, Guille (pronounced Geye for us English spekers) is amazing!!! She has made so many alterations on my work pants, dresses. you name it. There is not anything I have brought to her she has not been able to fix. and for a girl on a budget she has helped me out so much. her work is clean and professional.
