Sylvia, Ben, and Josephine were great. I found this place while frantically looking online for a place to work on my wedding dress in April of 2021. I was skeptical at first because there werent that many reviews especially on wedding dresses but at the end of the day I can say they made my dress work! I decided to go with them based on the fact they were able to work on this with my wedding just a month and a half out in May of 2021 (not your typical timeline for wedding dress shopping/alterations). I communicated via email after making an appointment online. They were quick to respond.I bought a wedding dress knowing that I had to let it out (dress was too small as is but the dress had material to make it slightly bigger). Prior to alterations, I couldnt zip up the back of my dress (hidden under the buttons). I bought the dress out of state so I wasnt able to do alterations at the boutique I purchased the dress from - the original store told me about the possibility of making it bigger if I had a good alteration person. Alterations are always doable but letting out a dress is more complicated than if you buy a dress too big and making it smaller. I am pleased to say Sylvia and team made it work for me - I was able to fit into the dress!This isnt a strike against the team but I did have 2 wedding dress bridezilla moments on the day of my wedding - 1) Stepped on my dress during the ceremony going up stairs multiple times and 2) When I was trying to bustle my dress on my wedding day. *NOTE TO BRIDES* During my alteration appointment my mom was the only one paying attention to how the bustle works. On the day of the wedding, I was wishing I had my friends with me at the alteration appointment to learn how to bustle my dress. I felt like I was stepping on my dress and having it drag behind me all afternoon on the day of my wedding which was a bit annoying for me. Perhaps its the fact that I never wear long dresses so Im not use to the feel but I didnt feel 100% comfortable since again I felt like I was stepping on and letting my dress drag more than I should. If I could do this part over I would 1) walk around in the dress bustled up in the store to have a better feel of what it should be like (instead of just standing on the podium in front of the mirror and not taking my time) 2) take more pictures of what the bustle was supposed to look like - both up close and full portrait view. 3) Have more than 1 person who will actually be the ones helping with the bustle on the wedding day at the alteration appointment(s).I admit I got my Allure Romance wedding dress on sale (which I was super proud of) but the alterations did cost more than the dress itself. Regardless still happy with my overall decision since I spent less than $1000 on the dress + alterations and was able to fit into the dress on my wedding day.

Very nice service, I was new to the renting suits and I felt guided through the process with no rush or pressure. Quality of suits are also really good!

Ben was SO easy to deal with, incredibly helpful and gave us great tips and suggestions while shopping for wedding party suits.At the same time, I had my suit tailored by them as well and the fit after is just incredible. Fit is modern, trimming to the figure, and yet still comfortable.Cant recommend Sylvias enough!!

Great service, decent prices, suit came back a few days earlier than expected. For best service, give them at least a week! You dont want wonky threads now do you?

Ben was awesome from start to finish, he did all of the suits for my wedding. He called me every time something came in and when something was ready. He didn’t miss a beat during the entire process. I was skeptical Of sending some of the suits via mail to my groomsmen. He made it a flawless process that made my wife and I very comfortable. All in all we couldn’t be happier and I would highly recommend Ben to anyone. Thanks Ben

If you want to give life to your suits and make them fit you well then ask for BEN there. Any need of alterations this is the best place. They do wonderful work and always on time and price is very reasonable. The final outcome will be impressive.

Had my suit tailored here one week prior to my wedding. Very happy with the service I recieved, and my off the rack suit fits perfectly. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Best tailor I have been to. I am 410 so I have been to a few lol. They are very professional, always do a great job and never takes to long. A little expensive, but they know what they are doing, and are so friendly to top it off.

First and foremost, I love wearing suits. And I really do care about how my suit fits. So I’ve been shopping around different brands to get the suit that fits me. Some of the brands are fitting better than others. Yet it’s never been perfect. Sometimes trousers length will be perfect but waist is too big or things like blazers fits well in my chest but arm length is too short, Etc...So I was looking for a custom tailor shop and I found this place after looking at many places. Tbh, I didn’t think that it would make too much difference to get my suits altered. But I was so wrong about that. I took 3 of my suits to get it altered, and the whole experience was amazing. People that own this place are very nice and of course they work with such a great craftsmanship. After I got my suits altered and tried it on for the first time I immediately regretted the fact that it took me so long to find this place. My suits are amazing. They fitted pretty good before, but now they fit extremely well to the point where I would call it perfection. I had somewhat expectations, but it was way beyond of what I was expecting. So after I picked up my suits, I took one more suit and took my dad to get his suit altered as well. I’ve read some reviews are saying that this place is somewhat pricy, but given how skillful they are it is not expensive at all. I would rather pay extra to get it altered perfectly. Not like other clothes, I will wear my suits for years and years to come. So I would rather take it to the people that are amazing at their job. Tailoring is a skill. And sometimes we neglect the fact that high skill should come with the price. With this place’s skill and the price point, it is just perfect. If you never got your suits altered before or tailored before, please try it.This place is amazing. And from now on I will take all of my suits to get it altered at this place.

Only had a couple pairs of pants hemmed, but the process was quick, professional, and not at all awkward (like some other tailors Ive been to). The price was competitive, the timeframe for pickup was reasonable, and the alterations looked great afterwards. Best of all, they had classical music playing in the background, which is a ridiculously welcome deviation from the vapid pop stations playing everywhere else. Definitely recommended.

You get what you pay for. Master tailoring with great service you won’t find at the corner shop. Custom suits/shirts/tux too.

They do AMAZING work! I was on a very limited time table because I found out I won a wedding ceremony. They were able to hem the gown and add the bustle in time. Both people that helped me with measuring were great. Showed a few different bustle options so I could make a decision. Everything turned out beautifully! I am so thankful they were available to help.
