Ling’s Tailoring & Alterations

I had the worst experience with this place. I brought two expensive suits in for alterations. They insisted in being paid before any work would be done. When I returned the following week to claim my altered suits they were not fit to wear, They had been cut wrong and would not fit me. when I complained she said too bad it was the best she could do. She would not return my money and I had to donate the two expensive suits and go and purchase 2 new ones. I strongly recommend not to go to this store. They were un professional and very rude.

I’ve taken a few things to this shop the last few years and I will continue to have Ling make alterations when needed. She is not inexpensive, but she really does an amazing job! She recently did alterations for my wedding dress and my hubby’s wedding apparel– it turned out perfectly! She’s been doing this for like 40 years and her expertise shows in the quality of work she turns out. Highly recommended.
Also, be prepared to pay upfront, not at pickup.

I had my new suit alteration done by Ling. I dropped it off on Thursday, and it was ready the following Monday. I was very pleased with quality of her work, and i will use her again. Her prices were fair.
Mr. Henry

I went in because I was told she charges less than most to put on badges. I was told she charged 3 $ but I was charged 5 $. Which I didn’t want to complain about… Maybe she raised the price?! But she asked me if I wanted to wait while she did the stitches. I asked her how long? As my daughter is 20 months old and gets unruly when waiting around. She didn’t give me a time just said «okay I’ll stitch now». My daughter ended up crying and trying to get away because she wanted to explore and check out the back of the shop and I wouldn’t let her. The seamstress then asks me if I’m the only one who cares for my daughter? I wasn’t sure where she was going with it but I responded and said for the most part. She asked «so no body else?» I said no thinking maybe she was trying to sympathize with motherhood. But then she just ended with a hmmmm and a judgey look on her face. I don’t know what she was trying to imply and I was trying not to get offended or jump to conclusions but it came off very rude! The stitches were fine but I don’t think I’ll be back.

Ignore the idiotic reviews… Ling is badass and anyone that has actually done business with her knows this. I see people whining about her prices… YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! So go somewhere else and get a half-​assed job. All her work is flawless and worth every penny. Having done this for 40+ years, you should think twice before questioning or doubting her.
As a BONUS, she is one of the nicest and most caring people I have ever met. If you think she is a bad person, you need to take a SERIOUS look at yourself.

Always a great tailoring experience here at Lings. A Master Tailor. Case in point. I purchased a suit from the Clothing Brokers and the suit I wanted (last one) required the shoulders to be brought up a inch and a half. The store told me that it can’t be done. Two other tailor shops said they couldn’t do that. I brought the suit into Lings she said that’s no problem, when do you need it. The alterations where accomplished on time and perfect. Lings has my business and no one else for tailoring.

First time and not going back! I went in to get my senior prom dress altered. It was a chiffon dress and she said it was silk so she charged me $ 70!!!

DO NOT GO HERE!!! I came here today because I needed a simple alteration on my daughters jeans. When we walked in I told her what I needed, and she goes «okay did you want to use the bathroom, or should we just do a couple inches?» I said okay let my daughter use the bathroom, she goes okay over there very rude tone. Then I asked how much is alterations, she said $ 10.00. Then I asked how about with the original helm. She said $ 27.50. To confirm I said so it’s more for the original helm? She goes well $ 27 is more then $ 10 right? Bring a smart ass owner. That pissed me off, and I left. It’s not the point that she charges more, it’s her attitude. I am never going here again!

Ling is wonderful she helped me out of a tight jam. I went in and she took care of me same day.

Ling is awesome! I came in one day to get my dress pants altered after buying a new one because a dry cleaning place messed up my pants. I needed the pants the next day morning since it was a big day for me for my management interview. After explaining my situation and not even fully hoping that she will be able to do it for me the same day, (I came in around 12pm) she politely said she will do it for me w/​o any extra cost. She promised at 4:30pm but I got a call around 3 that it is ready for pick up. The fit was exactly how I wanted. Ling is very humble. I was personally touched by her since there is no way I would be able to get to that interview without dressing up. She told me she is helping me because it’s my future that I’ll be missing out tomorrow.
Thanks Ling! And for the record, I landed the job and will be starting soon! I’ll come by with some bento box for u as I promised!
Ling is not just very skillful with what she does but also has a golden heart. This is definitely my new shop for alterations need!

Overall, not a good experience. The proprietor is rude and obstinate. If she disagrees with what you would like done, even if it what you ask is possible, she will not do it. She will likely try talking you into something she wants, even when you politely protest. She is extremely unprofessional. There is no way I will ever return, and I honestly have no idea why she has so many positive reviews.

My daughter is getting married 6÷21÷14 and her wedding gown needed alterations. We are happy we came to Ms. Ling. We came here early May. She helped us right away when we walked in. There are dressing rooms by the front counter so you can change into the clothing you need altered. Ms. Ling spent a lot of time looking at the dress and giving her opinions to us about how much should be taken in, hemmed, etc. She made sure we were happy with how the dress looked after she pinned the dress on the sides and length. We even discussed adding a bustle so the back of the dress can be pinned up for dancing, etc. Once everything is discussed and the alterations are agreed to and approved, then she gave us her prices for the work needed. She also told us what date it would be ready.
NOTE: YOU MUST PAY WITH YOUR ATM/​DEBIT CARD… DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY CREDIT CARDS! It was pricey ($$$) to have my daughter’s mail order dress altered, but I feel it was well worth it.
Ms. Ling said the dress would be ready on ⁶⁄₁₈ and it was. We called yesterday and she told us to come on by today. My daughter tried on her dress and it fit beautifully!
I also had brought a pair of my son’s pants here for Ms. Ling to hem. I asked her to please hem it with the same stitching as on the pants now. My son is very impressed with the way his hem was stitched… just like it was when he bought the pants.
Ms. Ling’s work is done so professionally one would never know, or guess, that my daughter’s dress or my son’s pants were altered in any way.
She has my vote for the best seamstress. We can relax a little more, knowing my daughters dress is ready for her big day. At the front counter, you can see photos of other brides in their wedding gowns that they had altered by Ms. Ling.
*** Besides being good at what she does, Ms. Ling if very personable and nice to talk to. I think she is very pleasant. She also has a steady stream of customers coming to her both times I have been here.
She has a talent. Bless you and Thank you!!!

I had a dress that I need to be altered for the next day, a lot of place wouldn’t want to do it because its to short notice, but Lings took it up and did it in time! I was so happy and i couldn’t be anymore great full! I would come back for more alternations!

I brought my suit in to get altered for my upcoming wedding. Jacket was good but when I tried on my pants they seemed short. Ling said it was the trending style to be short. She also said to get it pressed and it’ll be fine. I got the pants pressed and they still seemed short. My fiancée saw them and lost her mind! She looked at the hem on the pants and said Ling’s equipment was horrible. She said had she known it would have been this much of a hassle she would’ve done it herself. Ling claims to be a professional. If you’re a guy and need some alterations, go somewhere where you won’t have to take your clothes to get pressed after. I’m definitely not coming back. Two stars for pricing and timeliness.

This lady was very rude! My mother and I brought my prom dress in and it needed to be let out very simple could be let out with a couple panels and instead of just adding panels she wanted to add a corset in the side and only ONE side we were polite and asked if we could just put corsets on both sides so it would look right. Immediately she rose her voice and said, «No, I’m not going to put my name on that!» Then stopped talking to us her husband or whatever chimed in and decided to act as an interpreter and told us that she isn’t going to to it and that we can find another shop. So we left and found Kwon’s tailors and they brainstormed and found a solution to the problem! All they did is take some fabric from the bottom and beaded the dress again! DONT GO TO LING’S the only reason she has good reviews is because she only does simple projects because she’s an amateur and can’t handle a challenge. Absolutely disgusted. GO TO KWON’S!

I hung my new North Face Jacket at a coat rack, left to run an errand. I came home found the hood ripped off where the zipper area was stitched. Basically my dog pull my jacket down and caused my hood to rip apart. I was upset at what happened to my jacket. I heard about this place from Unilocal,I took it to Lings a couple of days later and showed her the damage on my jacket. Less than 5 minutes she restore it back to new, with some extra reinforcement on the stitching part of the zipper. In fact it looked even better than new. In other words, the jacket looked like nothing ever happened. I paid a small price to have my problems fixed. I didn’t expect her to make my jacket look new again, but Ling exceeded my expectations. She is a magician, this is an easy 5 star.

Great work! My wedding dress needed to be altered ASAP as in two weeks before the wedding! Ling worked fast and efficient and gave me great tips for the day off. She was amazing and my dress was gorgeous!
Thank you!!!

I have two beautiful floor length dresses that I bought a couple of years ago from Bebe for a trip to Cancun. What I always forget is that Bebe makes clothes for 6′ tall models… not regular 5’6″ women like myself. So I hauled both dresses down to Cancun. I wore one out to a fabulous dinner and even in 4″ heels, the dress was touching the ground (really??). No bueno. Not only was I stressing because my not-​cheap dress was periodically dragging on the ground, but, by this time, I was worried I was going to break my ankle in 4″ heels after so much wine. Back to the states, and these dresses were retired to the back of my closet.
First, I made the decision that NO one was touching these dresses who couldn’t do work (Big Black Boykin style). Second, NO one was willing to even TOUCH these dresses because the material was challenging. Enter Ling. Queue the Eminem song. This woman is not afraid. She hemmed both dresses within one week. And a pair of my Joe’s jeans and business slacks.
I highly recommend her work. She’s also quite personable and spicy. Straight to the point, which I like.

This woman is seriously a beast! She’s the owner, the ONLY one working in the shop, and manages to give you a reasonable pick up for your clothing. And yes, she really does offer same day service!
I brought a bridesmaid dress for major alterations (bust taken, shaping wires removed, hemming and straps) and she said it’d be done in 3 days and it was perfect!
She is friendly and always greets her customers with a huge smile. I will definitely keep coming to her for my alteration needs.

I just lost 20 lbs, and I need my pants taken in and fast! Cinching the belt is no longer cutting it. Hubby recommended a tailor in Fairfield, but I couldn’t figure out who it was. My coworker recommended a cleaners she goes to in Suisun; she said it takes them 3 – 4 working days. Did I mention all my pants are falling off me? So I asked my best advice-​giving friend, good ol’ Unilocal,for a recommendation. The reviews from Janine F. and Stacy K. were so helpful, I thought I’d give Ling’s a try.
She was so friendly when I walked in and quickly dropped what she was doing to help me. I explained that I recently lost a bunch of weight, and I asked how long it would take. She asked when I needed them, but I was too nervous to say tomorrow. When I explained that I don’t have too many pairs of pants that fit me, she said she’d have them done tomorrow! You don’t see service like that very often, and she was really fun to chat with! I can’t wait to bring her the rest!
Thanks Unilocal!You’ve done it again!
