Designing Tailor

I have been going to Designing Tailors for at least 15 years. They have always done exceptional work, and have fixed the unfixable. For example, I had a Tahari leather jacket with a broken zipper. They took out the zipper, put in a new one, and it didn't look any different from the old one. Seeing that the leather was very heavy, and the zipper was somewhat unusual, this was quite a feat. The women who work there are wonderful- they are truly delightful. Their prices are also very reasonable. I give them a two thumbs up! more

I've gone to Designing Tailors twice now for alterations; one just to shorten a pair of dress pants with a more complex cuff to them--it required undoing the cuff seams, shortening the legs, then redoing the cuffs. When I got the pants back the only way I could tell anything had been done to them was when I put them on and saw how well they fit--the cuffs were exactly as they were when I bought the pants and they looked great! Just recently I took a very heavy handmade monk's robe to her to have the front (where I'd cut it down the length) hemmed from neck to foot and have the sleeves taken in a bit. Cost a little under 40 dollars but boy was it worth it; the hemming is so well done you can hardly tell it was altered, and the stitches are so straight and even there's no chance of unraveling. My roommate also brought in a pair of pants for hemming and they look and fit fantastically. The work is great and so far I've not had a bad experience, and as they're just around the corner from my house I will continue to take my clothing here! more

I had a horrible experience here. I had a jacket altered, for $30. When i got the jacket back, it didnt even fit right, completely unwearable for me- almost like they did it for someone else. I went back to the store, put it on and showed them the erros, which they agreed it had. They said they would fix all the error for an additional $25. I said I wanted it corrected for nothing- or my orginal $30 back- never mind I cant wear the jacket anymore. I was told to either pay up more money, or leave. I was stunned. I WAS ALSO STANDING THERE WITH MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN. So Rude, but more so- grossly inappropriate was their behavior in front of the kids. I am filing in small claims court-. PEOPLE LIKE SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS! Cons: POOR WORK, BAD CUSTUMER SERVICE, RUDE PERSONNEL! more
