I used this tailor for my wedding dress. I had a great experience.

Linda was the tailor and she was so sweet and reasonable and she did a great job.

The address is:

1263 Smithwood Dr
Los Angeles, CA 90035

She has good reviews on yelp (mine is among them).

Whatever you do, DO NOT go to Uniquely Yours in Northridge. Carmela stepped on the dress with her dirty sneakers FOUR times, lost beads off the dress, and chopped off the bottom of the dress without asking - all during the quote!

I'd advise to use a shop, even if it's more expensive. An individual can do a bad job and still charge you, like this lady did. The extra money is a guarantee that they are held responsible for damage to your dress!
