Growing up in Germany, and being told by boutique sales people that I didn't have the "body type" for some of the fashions I loved and wanted, I decided to start designing and creating outfits for my sister and me. As I made dresses, skirts and jackets for the two of us, I became more and more interested in making sure our outfits, either homemade or store-bought fit us perfectly and looked fabulous.

Sandra was an amazing person to work with! She pays amazing attention to detail and her work is absolutely flawless! She is an extremely kind and passionate seamstress who loves what she does for work and it really shines through. I was so pleased with how my dress turned out, it fit like a glove in the end.

Sandra was great to work with and I am so happy with how my wedding dress turned out! My dress needed a few alterations and a bustle needed to be added. Sandra did a wonderful job, was friendly and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend Sandra if you need any dress alterations!!

Sandra is amazing! She's a lovely lady who shows a lot of care and expertise in her work. A little pricey, but I felt like my dress was in good hands when I left it with her. She made it look like it was designed especially for me!

Sandra and her team were INCREDIBLE! They turned a VERY poorly constructed bridesmaids dress into a work of art and helped boost my confidence in wearing this dress in the process. They worked with me to tailor this dress to fit my body shape and size in the most flattering light! They were incredibly professional and their skills in alterations are above reproach. I will most definitey be back to Sandra's for my future formal wear dress needs!

Sandra does incredible work! I went to her for alterations on my wedding dress and I couldn't have been happier with the results. She has very fair prices and goes above and beyond to make sure you love the final product.

Sandra is absolutely wonderful! I am so happy I came across her store! I went in originally to have some dresses taken in for me and she ended up also making my wedding dress for me. She was so helpful during the whole process of finalizing the design, choosing the material and taking extra care of me during each of the fittings. Sandra has years of experience and really knows what she is doing and takes care of your needs. I ended up moving my date almost a month earlier due to personal circumstances and she finished everything in two days to meet my new deadline. The dress is beautiful and I

I am so glad I found Sandra! I was on a tight timeline and she did the work quickly and it turned out better than I could have imagined. She was able to see things with the dress I would have never noticed and fit it perfectly to my shape. Planning a wedding has not been easy, and she was one of the bright spots in my planning process.

Sandra is a superhero!!! Found Sandra by word of mouth in 2018. Was in a friend's wedding November 2018 and had to make a last minute seamstress change for her alterations five weeks before the wedding.
Weddings are already stressful as hell and to find out the seamstress you were going to use is closing her business and can't finish your dress, well, that's just unforgivable. While at the original seamstress who was able to do small alterations to my bridesmaid's dress and after keeping the bride calm, I did a quick search and found Alterations by Sandra. We raced downtown and walked in her shop

Sandra was a true godsend. I bought my dream dress (Made With Love's Billie in lace) at Lovely Bride in San Diego and found out about Sandra from them. I was quoted by another alterations place almost $2000 for the changes my dress needed, and was very anxious that alterations would break my tight budget. Then I walked into Sandra's shop and not only was she so reasonably priced (much, much less than my other quote), she was calming, and a total pro. I felt immediately at home with her and completely trusted her recommendations. You know it's a trustworthy place when you walk in and there are hand

Sandra did an amazing job altering and bustling my very detailed and complicated lace wedding dress. She fixed things I didn't even know needed fixing and, wow, I felt amazing in it. I also loved working with Sandra. She was so enthusiastic and sweet and she really knew her craft. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone.
