I've been to Elias a few times and have had from okay to terrible results. The first time I had a pair of jeans hemmed and they turned out fine. The second time I had a dress taken in along the seams and the dress came out a little snugger than when it was pinned but it was still wearable. Feeling somewhat satisfied, I took a silk top that needed many alterations including taking in the shoulders and changing the placement of seams and they did a terrible job. The stitches they placed in the delicate material to make princess seams were very large and obvious and made the shirt look cheap. The shoulders were taken in unevenly and looked awful as well. I didn't try to have them correct it as I had no faith in their abilities at this point. I took it to another tailor out of town who performed miracles and saved my blouse. Elias seems more like a factory where they put in the minimal effort possible and charge way too much. I don't recommend.
Pros: fast
Cons: they might ruin your clothes!
