Had a wonderful experience! It was a last minute decision to try this place after an awful experience at David's bridal just prior to coming. There was a cancellation so they were able to take me. The designer / owner was extremely kind, knowledge, and helpful. She made me feel celebrated for being a bride. It was a very positive experience and I found my dress!

My husband: This lady did not seem to care about my wants and needs for the color of suit I wanted custom ordered. The color came completely wrong the first time, had to reorder another one that still came wrong. On top of that, my suit was still not finished with the wedding only a few weeks away. To wrap it up, the suit was not properly made how I wanted and she tried to get me to buy the suit she messed up and accused me of messing up the order. I give this a 2 star because the suit fit well.

I brought in my MOB dress that I wore 11 years ago- still a classic , but needing some significant alterations. This dress was completely remade from the waist up to fit me today. The results are stunning! I feel just as elegant in it now as I did the day I wore it for my daughter's October wedding in 2012. I will wear this again at a formal wedding in October 2023. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the way I was treated, the excellent workmanship and the overall experience I had at HOC. I highly recommend this business, tailor and the caring experience with your future special occasions or as you need to trust your garments into the hands of skilled professionals. Thank you

Zero stars are given. I had an appointment and it was a no-show.Only automated responses that you didn’t even program to tell anyone that you were not going to be in today. I came all the way to your establishment and there was mail in front of the door with a sign saying that you’re not gonna be back till September 6 and my appointment is on the fifth, and you didn’t have the common courtesy to cancel or let me know that I should reschedule or you should reschedule me.A waste of time and gas. Very unprofessional at the least. You sent multiple emails telling me about my appointment and if I’m coming and you’re not even there. No concern for your customers and their time.

Sharifa did a wonderful job helping me find a gown for my 35th anniversary, tailoring it to fit well. And, she quickly helped with another outfit that needed a quick fix. Thank you for helping me feel great!

I was measured improperly and when the pants were far too big she kept insisting they fit. The suit cost $350 to rent and the customer service was horrible. I would not recommend. Overpriced and they don't take accountability. There would be no way I'd allow a customer to leave the store looking like I did.The wedding was wonderful regardless of the suit issue. one of the better weddings I've experienced.I don't like giving reviews like this but I gave her multiple chances to suggest something and she just ignored me.

Sharifa rocks it! She steered a bunch of dudes looking for a stroller suit toward the best option (and affordable) on the west coast. And she calmly navigated a last minute garment delivery request through to success. Thank you; we will be repeat customers!

Easy to work with. Have gone here for a suit purchase and for a tux rental for a friend's wedding. The Owner made sure everything was correct and on time. Happy with the service and product.

My girlfriend got married this past June we went in to see Shareefa, the owner of the House of couture. Shareefa took measurements and told us that the dresses would be custom-made. That was not true When we went in to get measured for the dresses, she took measurements like if she was going to make them when the dresses came in we all went in to get fitted all of the dresses had to be taking up him some on minor alterations. As for myself I am a breast cancer survivor. I actually put if she could make a pocket for me to put my prosthesis in. She said sure darling I can do it I had to go back 4 times to get the dress him, taking up in the waste and the shoulders she never put a pocket in for my prosthesis when I asked her she said oh darling, you don't need it just place it inside. I'm already self-conscious of being a survivor went to pick my dress of the week before the wedding. Shareefa had another bride in there. When I asked to try on my dress, she told me she was too busy, and everything was done little to my knowledge wasn't nothing done to my dress once I was still longer than the other one then the side where she took in with my prosthesis. What would go in the dress had a hole where she opened it up to fix it to take it in rather, I call Sharefa for that Monday after the wedding to express my concerns about my dress, I asked her was she reimburse me half of the money back for my dress. She laughed and told me oh no darling I'm not going to do that ladies please think twice before you go in to House of couture especially if you are the African-American descent, we were treated less than the other bride and bridesmaids that went in and I saw this for my own eyes so now I am taking legal action against the house of couture

My daughter got this oversized dress from "The Princess Project" and it needed major alterations. I went to 2-4 alteration shops near my home in San Pablo to see if anyone would do the alterations needed. Long behold, no one wanted to do it saying, it would be a great challenge..... So I went to HOC, where I had gotten my daughters sweet sixteen dress altered. Her dress was done in less than a week and looked better than before! She also had the dress dry cleaned for a good price! Thank you Mrs. Sharifa your work is amazing and your greatly appreciated

I took my daughter here to shop for a prom dress. The store was incredibly busy so it seemed the selection may have been smaller, because girls were holding dresses while waiting to try them on. That's not the stores fault however, my daughter tried on three dresses and two of them were torn. I was ready to keep looking, but my daughter did not feel there was value given the quality of the dresses

I had to get my dress alterations done in a very short amount of time. I was able to make an appointment for my alterations and they were able to get it done in 10 days! A very short amount of time. There were a few hiccups in the process such as some miscommunication on what bustle I wanted and it needed an extra day of alterations but everything I asked for was done in the end. I am so excited to wear my dress on my wedding day!
