SERVING COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA
Costa Mesa Tailor and Alterations
Costa Mesa is a city that takes how it looks seriously, from the showrooms at South Coast Plaza to the indie style of The LAB and The CAMP. When the fit of a garment matters, plenty of Costa Mesa residents choose Sami's Tailoring, a family shop run by Sami Abujudeh and his son with more than 40 years of tailoring in Orange County. We are based a short drive south in San Juan Capistrano, and our clients tell us the trip is worth it.
SERVING COSTA MESA
A tailor Costa Mesa can rely on
Between the runway-grade retail at South Coast Plaza and the creative crowd around The LAB and The CAMP, Costa Mesa has no shortage of beautiful clothing. What is harder to find is someone who can make those pieces fit the person wearing them. That is the gap we fill. Sami's Tailoring is an old-fashioned, hands-on shop where every garment is measured, pinned, and finished with care rather than rushed through a counter.
We will be honest with you up front. Our shop is in San Juan Capistrano, so we are not around the corner from the OC Fairgrounds or Triangle Square. It is a bit of a drive. That said, many Costa Mesa clients happily make the trip because they would rather hand a favorite jacket or a wedding gown to a tailor they trust than gamble on whoever is closest. We work with any fabric and dress men, women, and children, with fair, transparent pricing quoted before any work begins.

DIRECTIONS
Getting here from Costa Mesa
The drive is straightforward. From most of Costa Mesa you will head south on the I-5, and the trip runs about 25 to 30 minutes depending on where you start and the time of day. Our shop sits at 32301 Camino Capistrano, Ste E in San Juan Capistrano, near the historic downtown, with easy parking once you arrive. Many clients pair a drop-off with a stop in the Mission district, then swing back for the fitting.
Walk-ins are welcome for drop-offs and fittings. For larger jobs, a wedding party, or a team of suits, a quick call ahead at (949) 493-0505 lets us plan the time so your one trip down counts. Tap the button below for turn-by-turn directions.
WHY MAKE THE TRIP
Why Costa Mesa clients choose Sami's
Forty years of tailoring builds a kind of judgment you cannot rush. Sami has handled everything from a stiff designer suit bought at South Coast Plaza to a delicate heirloom gown, and that experience shows in the small decisions, where to take a seam, how much to let a hem fall, when to leave good work alone. Because the shop is family-run, the person who measures your garment is the person who alters it.
Costa Mesa clients also appreciate that we treat the drive with respect. We quote prices honestly before any scissors come out, we give realistic turnaround times, and we will tell you plainly if something cannot be done well rather than promise and disappoint. That straightforwardness is why so many of our Costa Mesa customers come back, and why they send their friends and families our way for everything from a routine hem to a wedding dress.
Whether you are heading to an event at the OC Fairgrounds, dressing for a wedding, or simply tired of a closet full of clothes that almost fit, we are glad to help.
