Michele Curcho Tailor Shop / Sewing Classes

I cannot recommend Michele enough. I brought her two dresses for tailoring—one of them a very expensive vintage Moschino runway piece that multiple other tailors flat-out refused to touch because it was “too complicated.” Michele not only said yes, she absolutely nailed it. The craftsmanship was flawless and she treated the dress with so much care and respect. What really sets her apart is how generous and attentive she is. During my fittings, she even did quick, on-the-spot alterations so I could take my dress home immediately, which almost never happens and meant the world to me. On top of that, after finishing the work, she surprised me by gifting me a beautiful bathing suit—completely unexpected and incredibly kind. Michele is talented, confident, fast, and clearly loves what she does. If you have something special, delicate, vintage, or intimidating that you’re afraid to trust to just anyone, she is the person. I’ll never go anywhere else.

Highly recommend this place. I was a bridesmaid and had a last-minute dress emergency, and Michele completely saved me. She was so kind and made sure the dress fit perfectly just in time. I also stopped by to see her bikini collection, they’re so pretty and well made. I completely trust her work and attention to detail.

Michele is incredible! I pulled my wedding gown out of the box it had been preserved in since 2022 and beads immediately tumbled off it, the bust didn't fit anymore and the straps were stretched! It was a MESS! I needed to wear the dress at my birthday party in a couple of weeks and was shocked to see the state it was in! I found Michele online and she saw me right away. She fixed the broken beads, refit the bust and straps and had it all done in time for my party! If it wasn't for her I would have had to buy a new dress and never wear my wedding dress again. I'm very grateful.

I highly recommend this tailor shop. I have known Michele and her work for a long time and she is the only one that I trust to do alterations on my clothes. She has altered several pieces for me and my husband such as: wedding dress, Halloween costumes, formal clothes, casual clothes or luxury/events clothes, and she has always done an exceptional job. Michele is a very talented, experienced, reliable and attentive professional. She is a wonderful human being and is always willing to assist, I call her my fairy godmother. ✨

I had an absolutely amazing and seamless (pun intended) experience with Michele!! She handled my vintage dress with such care and expertise. I was pleasantly surprised at the quick turn around time and the dress fit like it was poured onto me, I got so many compliments! I will definitely be returning to Michele for my future alterations. This was my first time going to a tailor in LA and I feel like my search can end here, I received the best service in LA and look forward to giving Michele more of my business. She’s also very communicative, kind, and flexible when it comes to scheduling, just a wonderful experience all around🖤
