Laida has transformed my relationship to my wardrobe with her technically skilled alterations and INCREDIBLE prices! I lost weight this year thanks to an intensive yoga practice (brag) and brought some of my favorite pants in for tailoring. I soon discovered the many ways I could make old pieces that I no longer wear as much part of my current rotation with some smart alterations. The store is so sweet, and I love the shop dog Moon. Support this small business that is the fabric of the community of East Hollywood!

AAPI Woman Owned Small Business! We’ve been going here for years! Reasonable prices with fast turn around for those urgent requests! They also specialize in traditional filipino but also does general alteration so if you’re traveling the high seas in a Sky Suite or attending a traditional ethnic wedding, FdM is def the go to!

The Tita who owns this shop is a real OG of this community. Be respectful and trust the process.
Parking can be challenging since it’s LA and you gotta street park. Lots of one way streets but the meters were cheap. $2 for 2 hours.
The shop isn’t hard to find — follow the directions and keep an eye out for the outdoor seating of the restaurant next door.
If you’re husky or wear clothes that are 2XL or more, you’re gonna need a custom barong, bro. Tita is charging about $280 without the liner. I recommend the liner so that your barong lasts longer and it’s not transparent for $50 more.
