Gaspar’s Tailoring

Gaspar took my wardrobe and made it fit way better. I am confident when I buy «off the rack» that when I take it to Gaspar he will make it custom fit!

Gaspar is well known as the best tailor in Lake Tahoe.

This small community is so fortunate to have such a highly skilled tailor. His workmanship and service is tops. He was referred by friends. He has refitted a jacket for my wife and I just left him three pairs of new slacks to hem and cuff. We are leaving for a cruise in 6 days and my cruising wardrobe had shrunk in the closet necessitating a quick trip to Reno. The slacks will be ready in two days.

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
I’m involved in a chaotic, «Everything Planned Last Minute» wedding, and being as everything happens last minute, I didn’t get my bridesmaids dress until about three weeks before the big day. The fit was atrocious — it was way too long, and I could stash my toddler, one of her friends and snacks for both in the top. Huge problem, as it’s a strapless dress! It’s a destination wedding, so we’re actually leaving five days before the ceremony. That gave me approximately two weeks to find someone in the Lake Tahoe area who had the skills to do some serious alterations AND could get it done in a very short amount of time.
So obviously, I’m stressing something fierce. I had initially hoped that my tailor in the Bay Area could save me, as she is right on the way to the location of the wedding, but when I called her and described how horribly the dress fit, she said even with two days she simply wouldn’t be able to get it done. She referred me to the Stitch Witch. The Stitch Witch couldn’t get me in, so I went over to the cleaners in the Bijou Center. Their tailor doesn’t do fancy dress alterations, so she referred me to Gaspar.
He was able to get me in right away. As I drove over, I decided I didn’t care how much the dress looked butchered, as long as it didn’t fall off. Gaspar pinned up the dress and got me in and out in under a half an hour. He estimated that the work would be done in about a week, but assured me it would be done before we left for the wedding. Four days later (and that’s including a weekend y’all) he called to say the dress was ready. The dress does NOT look butchered — it is, in fact, one of the most beautiful tailoring jobs I’ve ever had done! The dress looks gorgeous on — which is saying something since it’s a pretty hideous dress — and if you look at the inside you really can’t tell that there were any alterations done. The lining was carefully cut open and restitched. Gorgeous work! Highly, highly recommended.
