What My Customers Are Saying...

“I am SO VERY GRATEFUL to have found Nelly! She was HIGHLY recommended to me by a dear friend in Ojai. I took in a beloved dress that was in need of repair with a tricky tear in the shoulder. Nelly did an EXCEPTIONAL JOB fixing the torn shoulder, and reinforced the other shoulder, as well! I was SO PLEASED! When I went to pick up my dress Nelly had pressed it and it was ready to wear. I quickly enlisted Nelly's help with two more beloved pieces of clothing...one skirt needing repair in the waistband, and a dress needing an alteration in the sleeve length. I am so excited to pick up those two items because I just KNOW that Nelly will do a fantastic job! I trust her and cannot WAIT to recommend her to friends! Thank you, Nelly, for caring so much and for your fine attention to detail. See you soon! ~ Seal”

“This is my first time using Nelly’s Tailoring and I’m so glad I switched from my long term tailor in Montecito. She was professional, personable, had fair pricing and most of all did an incredible job. She did some custom work for me based off of photos, plus took in 2 dresses and a pair of pants. Probably the first time in over 20 years I did not have to return because an item was not tailored correctly. Thank you Nelly!”

“Nelly is the ultimate professional and expert! She is thoughtful, communicative and honest when she approaches a garment of clothing. She was able to transform a humongous pair of denim from the 90’s into a contemporary piece for everyday wear. She was a straight shooter in terms of what to expect for the final product, and I was pleasantly surprised at how great it turned out. I will definitely take all of my tailoring to her from here on out! Thanks Nelly ☺️”

“Nelly has a magician hands when it comes to tailoring! By far the best tailor in town, she has done from leather to silk for me and every time it looks like it's never been touched! She is also very sweet and great person!”

“Nelly is absolutely THE best seamstress I have ever known! I am petite and must alter literally everything that I buy and have worked with dozens of seamstresses in Santa Barbara and elsewhere. But no one compares O Nelly. She alters clothes for me in leather, wool, cotton, silk, linen, and all kinds of knitwear, and her work always pleases me. She is fast, professional and manages to squeezes me in at the last minute, and she is a sweetheart whom I absolutely adore. You simply cannot go wrong with Nelly. Her skill as a tailor is exceptional, and tailoring of this high quality is truly becoming a lost art.”
