Muia’s Custom Tailoring and Alterations

I took my prom dress here to get hemmed and taken in at the waist and she did a beautiful job, I’m very happy with how it turned out!

I’m very happy with the alterations that were done to my daughter’s prom dress. Very high quality work and excellent customer service and a fast turn around. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs alterations on a formal gown.

I have had a blazer tailored, a dress shirt taken in, and two dresses altered. The owner is very kind, and her quality of work is excellent. Her turnaround time is one week, as mentioned by other commenters. There was one occasion where she did not complete my items during that timeframe, and I had to come back another day. However, I was not in a hurry for these items. If I had been and I had mentioned it to her, I’m sure she would have gotten them done on time.

The woman who helped me was nice, however I wasn’t paying for nice.
Prices are reasonable, but the stitching on my designer jeans was off and sloppy, as was the vertical seam I asked her to take in.
There’s construction in the plaza she’s in so parking may be a bit of a challenge.
I usually take my clothes to be altered by Van (Van’s alterations off Tully Rd) However it’s a bit of a drive for me so I thought I’d give this place a try. Lesson learned. Either that or Van set the bar really high on alterations.
Back to Van I go.

I love Muia’s Alterations. She is an amazing seamstress, has a quick turnaround time, and reasonable prices. Muia has perfectly altered 2 of my daughters cheer uniforms and several formal dance dresses. She has even repaired the shoddy work of another seamstress on one of my items. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good alteration experience. You won’t be sorry!

I came in here after another alterations lady messed up my bridesmaid dress. I had 1 day to get it fixed and did not want to risk it again. Not only was I able to get it done right, but she rushed it for a 1 day service, priced right, and was also able to do the bride’s reception dress! I highly recommend !

Made my Hugo Boss suit fit like a boss.

Even though this location is quite far from my apartment and pretty much anywhere else I go, I came here on a friend’s recommendation and am very glad that I did. I came here with four very large items, three dresses and a skirt. They were all very nice pieces that were affordable when I purchased them online, so I was really sad that they fit so poorly. Quyen comes to the rescue by taking them in the perfect amount! I have gotten compliments every time I’ve worn any of these items, and I’m pretty sure it has more to do with the perfect fit than with the dress/​skirt itself. It was pretty affordable considering how much work she had to do on it (almost like reconstructing the entire dress), and she was able to finish it all in 2 weeks.
The process was very easy, there is a changing room and then a tri-​fold mirror outside of it. You go in, try on the items, and she pins up the adjustments that need to be made. Then you change back and hand the items to her, easy peasy. Next time I have other pieces, I will gladly bring them back here.

We have been coming here for alterations for over a year now. The owner Quyen is super sweet and friendly, and always a pleasure to work with. Her prices are extremely reasonable, and your alterations are always done in a week, unless you need it sooner! The quality of her work always shows through and she is great at finding the best fit for you. She has tapered legs, hemmed pants, shortened maxi dresses, fixed holes in jackets and a silk dress (impressive!), altered a thick scarf, made a ‘deep V’ less deep haha. Basically, if I have any little thing I want done, I am confident that she can do it! Bring your items to her, she will be honest about whether she can do it or not, or whether it’s worth it or not. Cash only, and don’t forget to tip if you feel she did a great job!

This is the go to place for all my alterations. The lady really knows how to alter cloths well. I have my jeans shortened, she did a fabulous job on altering my Indian outfit. Prices are very reasonable.

I was looking for an alterations place that is near my house to hem my raw denim jeans so I don’t have to drive to my usual person in east San Jose. I found this place through Unilocal and so far I have had 3 pairs hemmed here with no problems whatsoever. If you know raw denim, they are very thick and stiff when brand new so It is more challenging than regular jeans. Quyen was even able to finish the job in 2 days because I needed it back in time for a date. Awesome service and price!

The lady is nice and polite but the prices were crazy in my opinion. She wanted to charge me $ 400 for 2 small things on my wedding dress.
She kept saying my dress «looked expensive» which makes me think she thought i was rich.
(I am not)
I got the job done else where for $ 150 within two days so that just tells me how much more she was charging me for a dress that she asked me to leave for almost a month.
No way lady!
all these 5 star ratings that say «great prices» make me feel like I must be frugal or they must be fake. Will not be back to this place.

The best Alteration place in the area!
I’ve been to some good places but they are over priced (to put it mildly) and aren’t very friendly!
Muia is reasonably priced, GREAT at what she does, and very friendly. She listens to your needs and provides her professional opinions on what will work best.
She’s worked on my wedding dress (which she altered to perfection!), a traditional African wedding dress, my husband’s matching attire, and many more in the past 4 months.
The only inconvenience is that she does not take cards; but for this type of service, even that doesn’t make me want to take any stars off:-)

Came here to have a bridesmaid dress altered. Had a wonderful and easy experience and extremely fair pricing. It was only $ 40 to have a chiffon dress with many different layers altered a few inches. She even told us that if we needed to have it taken in when we picked up the dresses that it would only take her a week. Will absolutely be coming back with more items, especially bridesmaid dresses!

Did a great job taking in my bridesmaid dress and hemming. Was ready a day earlier than promised. Would take other garments there in the future. Just make sure you leave enough time to get alterations done took a little over a week.

This place lives up to its 5 star Unilocal review. I’m very particular about where I take my clothes tailored. They did a perfect job with the 4 x pants I took in at a very reasonable price. The shop is a little tricky to find and recommend parking near Michael’s and walking through the arcade. Will be back for sure and they will now become my default tailor !

Quyen is fantastic! I first met her after I bought a new suit at the local Big & Tall store for an upcoming job interview. (I’m 6’6″ tall) The store was telling me it would take two weeks for the alterations because they would have to send it out. However knowing that I needed it sooner than that, the store manager worked with me to look for local tailors and we found Muia’s. Quyen not only tailored the suit perfectly, she did it in two days and in the process she became the go-​to person for the Big & Tall store.
Since then I’ve take everything to her, shirts, pants, even an oversized (5XLT) Navy peacoat, which I bought only because it was the last one available. But knowing I had Quyen’s services at my disposal I took it to her and she cut it down to a perfect 3XLT. If she can do that for a bug guy like me she can do just about anything for anyone. AND… She’s a great person too! Quyen is very humble and shy by nature, but she really knows her stuff. Honestly, my only explanation for any bad reviews she might have is due solely to the personalities and/​or impatience of those few reviewers.

I highly recommend this place! I had my wedding dress for a while before I decided to take the plunge and finally look for a seamstress to alter it. It took 6 months for my dress to be made and shipped from Italy. I was scared to death a seamstress would ruin it.
Thank goodness for Unilocal.I saw all the 5 star ratings and raving about Quyen’s work. Her shop is also near my home which was a huge plus. I showed up nervous as heck, but Quyen is so sweet and calming. I expressed my concern about my dress. It obviously needed to be hemmed, but it had a lace overlay and I was afraid it would be very obvious to hem the lace. Quyen explained how she would alter the dress and she assured me you would not be able to tell the dress had been hemmed.
A month later, I came to pick up my dress and I almost cried tears of joy. Quyen made my dress absolutely perfect! The bust area– perfect! The hemming of the lace– perfect! The bustle– perfect! I can’t even tell you how happy I was!
I’ll come here for all my alterations from now on! The prices are great, too!

Quyen is amazing. I went to get my wedding dress altered and it was only 3 weeks before the wedding but she was SO sweet and helpful. She had the dress done right on time and everything looked great. I would 100% go back to her for any other alternations I needed, I feel I could trust her with my clothes!

I have been going to Muia’s for the past 3 years nows. I am cursed with the lack of height, which means ALL my pants will need hemming. I trust Muia’s work each time and she has never failed me in any aspect.
All my pants are done well, on-​time, and much to my satisfaction.
She moved to a new unit so I hope it is better.
But definitely a good and trustworthy place.

One of those times I don’t want to write a review in the fear that the business will get too busy! I’ve been twice to Muia’s and been very pleased both times with the speed, price, excellence in service and in the work on my clothes. I will go many times more…

Absolutely amazing.
The honey needed a couple patch jobs for his work clothes.
Me? I had a Bebe dress I ripped the first time I wore it, a skirt I never even got to wear because the hem ripped out the first time I put it on and a jacket that needed the pockets double stitched.
Enter in Muia’s and their wonderful service.
The items looked fantastic afterward. The dress and skirt were like new and you would have never known the pockets that been unraveling on the jacket.
The honey’s pants looked great and the shirt was patched right up. That’ll teach him not to unbutton it before he yanks it off. #boyfriends.
I recommend Muia’s wholeheartedly and Unilocal did not steer me wrong. We’ll definitely be coming back here for our misc honey and Meg tailoring needs!

Are you familiar with the fairy godmother in Cinderella? Well, Quyen reminds me of her in the sense that she, too, is sweet, kind, and was able to transform my size-​too-​large dress to fit me like a glove. I dropped it off last Friday and picked it up exactly a week from that date. I told Quyen «no rush» but I’m sure if you need the item earlier, she can accommodate your request.
This was my first time getting something altered so I’m not sure if her pricing is competitive or not. But I spent $ 15 and I was very satisfied with the quality of her work. I also brought another maxi dress I wanted to get altered but Quyen told me she was not able to fix the slip underneath unless I found fabric of the same color. I appreciate her honesty.
Just an FYI, I had some trouble finding this place. It is located in the Princeton Plaza and it’s a small shop tucked away behind Michael’s. It has 2 fitting rooms inside so if you come when it’s busy, you might have to wait. Other than that, I am very happy with my new dress.

A quality tailor with reasonable pricing – I love going to see Quyen at Muia’s! She is always super nice and takes the time to listen to my tailoring requests to ensure that my needs are met. She’ll also be honest and tell me if I don’t need certain alterations that I think I need on my clothes.
Last summer I bought my first maxi dresses (that were too long for someone as short as myself) and she tailored the hems perfectly to go with flat sandals. I’ve now worn them some number of times and always get complimented on them (once even by a dude!). My husband also previously dropped off four or five polo shirts that were too large and Quyen took the sides in and only charged $ 40.
I recently had to drop off a rush request on a black dress to wear to my beloved grandfather’s funeral. She completed the job within a day and didn’t even charge me extra. It was a really difficult time for me and I was really appreciative of her gesture.
Her shop is nestled in the Blossom Hill/​Kooser plaza near the rear. It’s best to go around OSH and park by C’est La Vie bakery (on the Hallmark/​liquor store side) as Kalipo K. says. There are two private small rooms in which you can change, both with locking doors. She also takes plastic — love.
For one who loves to shop and doesn’t fit everything off the rack, I can rely on Quyen to ensure that the clothes I buy look great… on me.
