Manhattan Beach Tailors

Marlene has been tailoring my family's clothes for decades, and this was the only place I considered taking my wedding dress for alterations (it needed to be taken in at the back, hemmed, and bustled). She did flawless work and the dress fits like a dream.

SHE SAVED MY WEDDING DRESS!! I came here in an absolute panic from another seamstress who almost ruined my wedding dress - she decided to take my wedding dress in from the front and center. So there was a new seam down the front and center that wasn't there before! Marlene was able to use extra fabric to not just cover the mistake but completely fix it and match my inspiration photos to a T. I could cry. She's an absolute magician and truly cares about her customers. I will only be coming here for any and everything from now on. 10000% recommend!! Fair pricing - and high quality. I'll share before and after photos after my wedding. :) I explained more here:

Marlen is incredible. Not only is she honest with what is possible, but her work is impeccable. I brought in my mother's wedding gown to have a slip dress made out of it. She helped me to reimagine possibilities with other materials from the gown and helped to fashion a PERFECT fit. I wore this as I got ready in hair and makeup on my wedding day and it was so special. Thank you thank you thank you!!
