DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT! Its proprietor does not deserve your business; there are other good folks who could do with it. Last year I purchased a pair of slacks, which I took to “Margarita” for alteration. I had not had the occasion to wear them until the other day, when I noticed that the one side dragged on the pavement. “Margarita,” my tailor, had 1) either forgotten to sew up the one side, or 2) done so asymmetrically. When I walked into the store, she was in the process of pinning up a customer who had the same problem. A pattern! However, as soon as she heard that I had had the slacks altered last year, “Margarita” and sullen daughter brazenly pronounced--in front of the other shocked customer--that this was not their work. The interaction was most unpleasant, with the implication being that I was lying. I informed her that one had to be stupid to 1) accuse a regular customer of lying, especially in these tough economic times. 2) Doubly stupid when caught in the act of pinning up another client whose alternation was also half done. 3) I would take my business elsewhere and spread the word. No apology was forthcoming. Again: there are other good folks who could do with your business! RATING: ZERO; 0

I've brought in a number of very, very difficult tasks including knits and handmade lace. Margarita is very upfront about the likelihood of a successful alteration/repair and she has always delivered well above the expectation I had.

I've been going to Margarita Tailor for 21 years now, and these past couple of years the service has deteriorated incredibly. In the past twelve months, they've ruined a pair of my trousers, ruined my husband's brand new sport coat (and charged him $70 for the priveledge), and did alterations for my husband's wedding trousers that left his trousers 2 inches two shorts the week before we flew out for our wedding. I love Margarita Kim and have trusted her with over a hundred alterations over the past two decades, but I will never go to her business again now. Three times burned....shame on them! Her staff is the worst.

A good alteration place is like a good hair dresser....a good one is always hard to find, but once you do, you are set. This place provides that element. She runs a great tailoring shop for minor & extensive tailoring projects. Her prices are very fair & she is very timely & efficient with her work. Many is Issaquah will recommend her place of business.
