SERVING DANA POINT
A tailor that Dana Point can call its own
Living near the coast means a wardrobe that has to keep up. Sea air, weekend dinners along the harbor, summer weddings on the bluffs, and an office that still expects a clean line. Sami's Tailoring helps Dana Point residents keep all of it looking its best. Our shop is inland in San Juan Capistrano, and we welcome walk-ins from Monarch Beach, Capistrano Beach, and the Lantern District.
Whether you walked out of a Dana Point Harbor boutique with trousers that need taking up, or you inherited a jacket that deserves a second life, we treat the garment as if it were our own. Walk-ins are welcome, pricing is fair and quoted before any work begins, and you deal directly with the people doing the sewing.

FOUR DECADES OF CRAFT
Tailoring for Dana Point
Forty-five years in one community is not something you fake. Sami built this shop one careful alteration at a time, and he still does the work himself, so the standard never drifts from one visit to the next. There is no front desk handing your jacket off to a stranger. The person who pins the hem is the person who sews it.
For Dana Point residents, we offer alterations for prom dresses, interview suits, anniversary gowns, and everyday repairs. We handle any fabric, from a delicate silk lining to heavy denim and fur, and we treat a five dollar button with the same care as a wedding dress. Honest pricing, honest timelines, and work that lasts.
