New Look Tailoring

A new suit to be altered and a new pair of jeans to be shortened. I went in (based on Unilocal reviews, btw) and was quickly fitted. Returned a week later and everything was perfect. Fair prices. Five minutes from my house, New Look Tailoring is now where I go for alterations.

*** UNPROFESSIONAL *** CALLED ME A «SON OF A BITCH!!» **** TOLD ME «FUCK YOU!!» *** MESSED UP MULTIPLE ITEMS ***
William possibly used to take pride in his work, but now this work is half-​assed and sloppy and time after time I have come across mistake, after mistake, negligence of detail, and a general lack of quality the past 3 times I’ve come in.
Regardless of him screaming foul language at me because he made multiple mistakes time and time again, the poor work speaks for itself.
1. He hemmed my floor-​length maxi dress backwards. The back was too short and I was still tripping over the front hem, which was finished as a back U-​shaped bottom. When I brought it back to him to get fixed, he claimed he didn’t do my tailoring and that it wasn’t his fault… but he was willing to fix it for free.
2. I have spent good money to get clasps put in to the shoulders of 3+ dresses so the bra strap is secured and doesn’t show. ALL OF THEM have come undone!!!
3. I brought in my new expensive dress that I was to wear for the Oscars. He hemmed a belt loop that was supposed to go in the back, RIGHT IN THE FRONT MIDDLE OVER MY BELLY BUTTON!!! How ridiculous is that?! They never noticed. When I complained about the negligence of work and he told me that I was just being picky… but he sewed my dress backwards (once again)!!! He also hemmed it shorter than we discussed, so even when I was wearing flats, it was still an inch off the ground. So horrible!
After this 3^rd instance, he then proceeded to talk to his workers in Spanish, thinking I didn’t understand what he was saying, but I heard him talking about me and how I’m annoying and just want to complain about his work… but I knew I was not wrong because all of my items had errors. When I told him that I could understand what he was saying (yes, I said it in Spanish), he told me that I was a «SON OF A BITCH!!!» and told me «FUCK YOU!!!» and said that since I paid him, he can talk to me however he wants. I don’t know what definition of customer service he learned, but this certainly isn’t a good showing.
DON’T GO HERE!!! There are better tailors, who treat their customers well and take pride in their work for a cheaper price. I’ve finally learned my lesson. My fault for trying to be loyal to a business.

This review is overdo. I have had good experiences here over the past year or so, but my last experience really solidifies me as a long term customer. I was 8months pregnant, having my baby shower in days and had a dress dilemma. My dress was too short, and also too low in the chest and just overall didn’t fit right. I brought it in with no suggestions of how to fix it just hoping somehow they could make it work for me. He found the same fabric to make it longer, raised the chest area so I would be comfortable and finished two days before I needed it! I honestly am so thankful and now have some beautiful pictures I can be proud of because I felt amazing.

This guy is amazing and will make you look like a million bucks. Every time I’ve come in I gave them short notice to get a piece if clothing ready. He has made me look sharp for my graduation from college, and even my first round of job interviews. I will never go to another place in LA for alterations. I drive 7 miles to have him do alterations for me.

Great looking shop with classic feel. The owner was nice enough to measure me for a tux even though I wasn’t getting it from him! Will return!

The best tailoring experience I’ve ever gotten. They are excellent craftspeople who tailor your clothes with great care. During the measuring process, they make sure they understand what style you are going for.
Also: I needed a suit tailored for a next-​day event and they came through. Normally it takes a few days. But it meant a LOT to me that they understood that I needed a rush job. They didn’t charge extra and were so friendly about it.
5 of 5. Don’t go anywhere else.

I have used New Look Tailoring twice to alter two dresses. The people that work here are super nice and good at what they do! If the tailoring isn’t spot on the first time, they are happy to get it right to make the customer happy. I highly recommend them! The prices are good too.
I live in the area, so I will continue to use New Look Tailoring for all of my alteration needs.

This man is a very honest man and a great tailor. He is not looking to rip off anyone, just to please the customer. I came in and showed him a lovely dress that I had only worn twice that was completely gnawed upon by hungry moths. It was covered in holes. He offered me several solutions. The first was to completely re-​do the fabric with elaborate cutting and sewing. He said it would be very expensive. I asked for a less expensive alternative. He said he could just fill in the holes with little pieces of fabric sewed in back of the holes. It worked! It looks great and unless you look up close you can’t tell it is sewed together in the back of the holes. He found a reasonable solution and I am quite happy with the results. I will be returning.

This place is the worst– bad alterations and nasty attitude to boot. I hope this place burns down.

I have been taking clothing to William for about 20 years now, and he IS the best tailor in town! I am a 33 year veteran professional in the retail fashion world, and have seen lots of alterations/​tailoring shops and departments within high-​end stores. No one does the kind of work that William does, and at a fair price, with the utmost courtesy!
Over the years, William has worked on everything from hemming jeans to altering evening gowns for me.
In addition, I am a vintage clothing purist – William has painstakingly dealt with my many 40 – 50 year old dresses, and done an amazing job with them. (His staff must think I’m a nut) Most recently, he literally saved the life of a 60 year-​old Norell cocktail dress, fabricating new sleeves that matched! Unbelievable.
I very happily refer anyone I know to his shop, and they are always thrilled. One of my friends who is a trained pattern maker/​seamstress even took a gown she had made to him, when she couldn’t get the zipper installed properly. He did it for her! You need look no farther for a terrific tailor. Go there and meet him!

I am a UCLA student who just moved to the area. I searched for a new tailor who is comfortable working on slim-​fit suits (you know, the cool ones that taper down to your ankles), and I found William and his crew. I took two suits to be tailored after gaining a good amount of weight, and he made them both comfortable and stylish. Even more so, one of the pairs was just too small for me, but William went the extra mile and sewed a piece of fabric to the pants to give me more room, and at no charge. The whole crew will remember your name. Fast and easy service. It is nice to find someone I trust to work on my suits.
Pricing is the same here as other tailors, but without the uneasiness and insecurity. My advice: take a couple suits and have him work on them. You will be back for more.
Park in the back if you cannot find street parking.

Best tailor in town hands down!!!
Although Nordtstrom offers me free tailoring on suits and jeans, I run it over to William anyways.
Being a big guy, my pants need more work then just hemming and William is the man for the job. He makes me look like a million euros every time.

Been bringing my pants, jackets, suits here for over ten years. Great service and workmanship. Never had to bring anything back for fixing.

William is the best! He really knows what he’s doing and he will always tell you what truly looks good. You won’t regret going there

The best in town! Awesome service. William is the MAN! Altered 2 of my very expensive authentic jerseys to custom fit my body after losing 77 lbs. very fast, great price and great service.

Un año más tarde, y todavía me encanta el servicio aquí. Ha sido viniendo mi prima aquí por 10 años ahora, y ella recomendarías este tienda con todo su apoya también.
En serio, puedes traer un vestido, unos pantalones, un traje de oficina… cualquiera prenda de vestir, y William te ayudarás. Él es muy, muy honesto con su trabajo. El precio merece la pena, ¡definitivamente! Ven aquí lo más pronto.

William is very good at what he does. He is also a very pleasant person. I’ve used him for years to alter jeans, work clothes, and bridesmaid dresses. All the work has been good. And he is very honest about saying when an alteration won’t look good. I do always call ahead to make sure my item is ready for pick-​up.

I have been going to New Look for years, based on the recommendation of a friend. They always do a great job, are super friendly, and most importantly, reasonably priced. Give them a shot — you will not be disappointed.

William is a fantastic tailor! He altered a coat I found on eBay to make it two sizes smaller, and when he finished, it looked just like it had been made that way originally. He also reduced the size of my husband’s old tuxedo, both jacket and pants, very successfully. We also bring jeans and tops and every kind of clothing to him, and we’ve always been delighted with the results!

My father has had his own custom made clothing business providing men’s formal wear for over 30 years and William has taken care of all his clients alterantions for the majority of that time. They consistantly meet our high level of expectatons when it comes to producing an excellent final product with a quick turnaround time. I wouldn’t take my clothes anywhere else.

My fiancée has been going here for years and recommended that I get some pants hemmed with them. I took a few pairs over and they did a great job.
Recently, I went to Macy’s at Westside Pavilion and purchased a suit that needed to be altered. The Macy’s employee actually recommended going to New Look rather than using the in-​house Macy’s tailor. Go figure.
One note: cash only.
