I was in and out so quickly on a Saturday morning. I had 2 bridesmaids dresses that needed altering and they were done in a timely manner and done well.

I have always been pleased with the quality of work here, but one time they far exceeded even my expectations. I had a blouse that was a bit too large for me, so needed an extra button and buttonhole. On satin! It is perfect! I would give Nancy's ten stars, if I could...

I'm very picky about tailors and when I moved here, I was dreading having to find a new one. This was one of 3 tailors I had bookmarked (thanks for your help, Fellow Yelpers!) and I only went here out of convenience - so happy I did!
The lady who helped me was warm, helpful, and totally knew her stuff. I felt comfortable right off the bat, I was pretty confident that they were going to do a good job, not a feeling I get from most tailors. The stakes were high too, I was dropping off 2 brand new suits.
Price was about what I expected, $90 total to hem 4 lined sleeves, 4 lined legs, and a minor repair to a pocket stitch.
When I went to pick up, the same woman who helped me before greeted me and immediately offered for me to try everything on, which I was grateful for because I often feel like a PIA when I've request this from tailors in the past.
Everything fit perfectly, and the stitching looked good too.
They had forgotten to do the pocket repair, but when I pointed it out she quickly took it to the back and within 5 minutes it was all done.
Thank you, Nancy's!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Judy L.San Francisco, CA37590815Jul 29, 2022
Are you petite? Do you need your jeans hemmed (with original hem)? Do you need seams taken in for a better fit? Go here. Worth the extra travel and price. The quality of work is worth it.
Looking forward to bringing in my dressier clothes for tailoring soon!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Caroline R.Burlingame, CA24241Sep 14, 2023
The best tailoring for my mother of the bride dress. These ladies work hard and they deserve a 5 star review!!!

I had a suit that I never tailored in my closet. I decided to go in two weeks ago to have it tailored. I am very happy with the work and attention to detail. The jacket and pants were both altered. Price for the work was very fair. Definitely coming back.

She did a beautiful job with my wedding dress. She was able to take in the waist and adjust the straps and was extremely kind and helpful the whole time. Thank you so much!!

Nancy's Tailoring has been my go-to for all of my alterations for the past 10+ years. I'm very petite so almost everything needs to be tailored to fit me. They've tailored everything from delicate dresses, heavy coats and pants hemming and the results are very professional -- even was worried about expensive coats I've had tailored and they came out beautifully. Sometimes if a garment is more complicated or if I drop off a bunch of items at the same time, they need more time than expected so just call ahead to ask if they're completed on the date of pick-up before driving down there.

This was my first time visiting Nancy's Tailoring & Boutique and I had a great experience! I needed work on my wedding dress; I had it altered, hemmed and added a bustle for $450. I cannot speak to their experience with everyday clothes, but as far as gowns, I'm very happy with my dress!
I went in for the first fitting and gave them 3 weeks until my second fitting. She was on time and more than flexible with my need to reschedule - twice. I really appreciated this!
Everything felt perfect! I asked for it to be tightened around my butt a little without restricting my thighs, and they naiiiiiiled it. In addition, I let them know that I'd like one more fitting about a month out from my wedding (July 2021) and I asked if I could leave my dress there. I'm so appreciative of the fact that they are currently storing it for me until I reach out for one more fitting.
Great location (Boba Guys is across the street - you're welcome) and great service. I'll update later with pictures! Thanks Nancy's Tailoring!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
