I have been using Monika's for alterations for many years now. The quality of work is fantastic. I've had hems done, sleeves reworked and a wedding dress alterations. I've never been disappointed and always recommend Monika's when asked.

I came here to get my bridal gown altered back in April 2023. This place was recommended by Trudy's bride where I got my dress. The lady charged me a total of $750 for the hem, a sowed bra, tighten up the shoulder sleeves, and made it tighter! I thought it was over priced but still decided to go with her since it was the closest place in town and the place was known for bridal gowns alterations. The customer service was a 1! She was not professional at all she had me drive an hour traffic just for her to tell me she had forgotten to do my dress and that I would have to come back!! Mind you this was 2 weeks before my wedding!!!!!!! She was so laid back and reassured me it would be ready! I went back a week later and the dress was not even fitted! The sleeves were loose and she assured me she had done the work. Well if she did it wasn't a good job after all! Finally my last fitting 4 days before my wedding, my dress finally fit and I was so glad I was finally able to leave and not deal with her ever again! So the stress she put me through was not worth it at all!!! I am not sure if she's the only one that works there because if she is, she needs help! Actual work: 4 stars Customer service: 1

I've been using Monika's for my alterations for as long as I can remember! I used them to alter every prom dress I ever wore. Now we bring my daughters prom dresses in for alterations! Their work is impeccable and your garments are always ready in time! It's always been a great experience using Monikas for all our modifications to our apparel, that includes dresses, my jeans, my husbands favorite north face vest. I really recommend Monica's for all your alteration needs! I am super great full for Monica's meeting all our needs in a friendly timely fashion. My daughters prom dress fit her like a glove and she looked so beautiful thanks to Monica's amazing work! Please do keep in mind that spring and beginning of summer is Monika's busiest season with proms and weddings so it's really helpful to go in a little early at this time of year! Monika's is the best for us to use them for over 20 years!!

I wish I could give this place a zero star!! . My dress wasn't altered the way I wanted it. When I went for a fitting I asked if the straps could be tightened because it was falling off my shoulders. Also didn't like the way she altered my slit . Originally I was quoted 120$ and just for tightening the straps she charged me additional $20 so my total ended being 140$ !! she got my card for payment and few seconds after I changed my mind about fixing the straps because I could do it myself .She immediately tells me ," Oh well I already charged your card". I was pretty mad and just walked out the store!! Once I sat in my car I thought what the heck did this lady say ? So what if u charged my card she could've voided the transaction but she didn't want it. Save yourself a headache and find someone else that won't rip you off !!

Paid $50 for a simple hem and when I picked it up they hadn't even ironed my garment. Alterations themselves were fine but I don't think I'll be returning. Overpriced and I expected more for what I paid.

My best friend's wedding dress was too small a month before her big day. Sidiqa immediately reassured her, since she was so anxious about not being able to wear her beloved dress. After heading over to Pleasanton for her first appointment, Sidiqa quickly determined that this would be no problem, resolving to add a corset in the back. It was at that time that I learned that she'd made costumes for Cats on Broadway--so we were talking to a pro. Sidiqa finished everything in time and put my friend at ease throughout the entire process. Her dress was beautiful, and we all agreed that it looked better with the corset! To all the brides out there--Sidiqa will take care of you from start to finish with beautiful, detailed work!

I went yesterday to request an alteration for my daughter's dress and the good thing about this place was that I was able to make an appointment right away. I would suggest that she has a price list of the services she offers before she starts doing any measurements. I also saw beautiful dresses for sale at $50 (you charge $50 for a dress but $225 for alterations?) I saw in the changing room that you have to leave a 50% deposit (It's ok) but I didn't have cash with me. Then, she informs me that the alterations will cost me $225. I tell her that I paid $199 for the dress, how should I pay more for the alterations? I thought it was too expensive and that I was going to shop around. She got really mad at me. I went to Essy's Tailoring and his customer service and prices were way better. I didn't have to leave a deposit and he accepts credit cards.

I chose Monika's at the recommendation of friends. I took my wedding dress home and discovered it was Ill-fitting, the bustle string was snapped, and there was a pinhead sized red-brown stain on the waist (blood?). Sadiqa was also supposed to make my veil fingertip length (where she pinned it in the shop), and it was down to my ankles. I'm not one to complain, but the broken bustle and drastically different veil length couldn't be brushed aside. I called and politely told her I needed to bring my dress and veil back in, and she told me the veil was the correct length and what I asked for. Um, NOPE. I hated my dress so much post alterations that I ended up buying a new one, and the seamstress at the bridal salon was wonderful. I actually paid her to fix the veil because I never want to step foot in Monika's again. Also--her credit card machine has been "broken" for a year and she only accepts cash or Venmo.
