Teresa is the best! She was quick to respond and willing to work around my work schedule. I thrifted some children's jeans that I was determined to wear to Disneyland. I was so comfortable walking around the park all day and the alterations were not noticed! Her work is so detailed and I'm thrilled she was able to work on them before my trip! 1,000,000 out of 10 would highly recommend!!

Great experience with Teresa. I only had a minor repair I wanted on some jeans, and she handled it quickly and was really flexible with pickup/drop-off. She charged me a really reasonable, honest price. Anyway, definitely will be a repeat customer next time I am in need of any clothing or repairs or alterations.

Looking for alterations. Do yourself a favor and Look elsewhere. Don't be naive like me.
I got 4 dresses altered. Prices were average but I went with Teresa because I wanted to support small businesses. She doesn't have a storefront but she travels to your home to do the measurements. If you don't feel comfortable you can always come to her apartment. Her alterations were good but it was her unprofessionalism that I'm rating a 1 star. There were red flags from the very start but I chose to ignore because I was naive. I reached out through yelp and got an instant reply to text

I needed a couple gowns altered, both very different. One was a satin ball gown and the other was more of a stretchy evening gown. I am very particular about where I get my dresses tailored, due to the fact most places have never dealt with them before. I found Teresa through the yelp search and she is incredible. She is kind and a killer negotiator. She was also able to get both gowns done in a rush order and fixed things I didn't even notice. I thought the gowns were pretty but by the time she was done with them I looked drop dead beautiful in them. I will always bring my dresses to her

Wow! Just WOW!! T.Leigh Couture did a STUNNING job making a vest from Athleta fit me after I lost weight. I can't even tell that it has been altered!!! We looked... can't tell! The work was quick and exactly as explained. I will definitely seek out more alterations for clothes I just love and don't want to part with. Thank You!

This individual, Teresa, is a most amazing sewtician. I sent her two pair of pants for alteration and one dress for hemming. The pants, she unhemmed, altered, then re-hemmed to look like they were made that way. And the dress...! It has one of those 'rolled' hems and she was able to cut the hem off and REDO (!!!) that rolled hem. Beautiful work! So professional. Highly recommend her services. You will be totally pleased!

Great service, easy to talk to, came to me at work, and great work done repairing jeans. I don't know what more I could ask for. I'll be using Teresa for all future adjustments and repairs.
Update: I was picky about my suit for my wedding - unusual color, I wanted some stretch, and I couldn't find anything decent in the area. I ordered a bunch of suits online, returned most of them, and took the best one to Teresa. I was thrilled with the work and the results.

I found t.leigh couture to be timely & perfect for my needs on the multiple times I have needed alterations.
I took Teresa a dress I had bought that was strapless as I loved the color and cut, but really wanted straps for. She took some fabric off the bottom of the dress as it was longer than I needed and created straps that had a twist to them that was in the fashion of the details in the bodice. I get compliments each time I wear it & love that I feel more comfortable in it!
She has also taken pants and turned them into Capris for me which made them more flattering for me.
Also love that

Our grandsons were super thrilled with their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Halloween costumes; custom creations of T.Leigh Couture. Teresa is amazingly creative and pays such attention to little things that "make" the outfit...and the boys noticed exclaiming Donnie! and Mikey! when they opened them. Teresa took the time to make them super durable and washable for dress up play time too. The backpacks and jackets are functional, and I bet they'll be using them out and about town. Thank you Teresa!!
