Classical & Modern Tailoring

The tailoring has, previously, been fine. The customer service? Not so much. My wife recently needed a dress hemmed, and after she took it home she found there’d been nothing perceptible done. When she brought it back in, the same thing happened — again. And they refused to acknowledge it. But they were happy to insist on being paid.
Disappointing, because every experience up until then had been stellar.

I have been to this place many times, really good service, I am very satisfied with the quality as well. I am strongly recommend this place.

I brought my wedding dress for alterations based on a friend’s recommendation. Avo is extremely detail oriented and takes his time to make sure all the details are set before starting alterations. Things were looking good at my trial fitting and I’m sure they’ll be perfect by the final pickup :) Avo is also the preferred tailor for Bhldn, so you’ll see a million Bhldn bags when you visit!

Best tailoring ever. Couldn’t be more satisfied with the job here. My suits were okay before, now they’re PERFECT!

Wish I would have found Classical & Modern Tailors when I first moved to the neighborhood several years ago. First rate service and they really take the time to make sure the alterations are perfect. Had three suits altered and a tuxedo… saved me a ton instead of buying new pants. Turnaround time was quick and their prices are terrific. My new go to spot.

My mom and I have been coming here for years for the tailor’s efficiency and exceptional work. You won’t find another tailor in the city who does a better job for a better price. Avo is experienced, kind, and somewhat of a magician! I’ve brought numerous ball gowns, suits, dresses, etc and he’s tailored them all to perfection. The entire staff here is wonderful. I highly recommend it!

This place is amazing!!! I had a sample wedding dress that was a size 10 that they took down to size 0! Excellent detailed work and nice price too. :) Nice people and atmosphere. I will come here for more tailoring needs in the future. Highly recommend!

As my wedding day approached I searched for a tailor I could trust with my gown. I of course was nervous, but as soon as I met Avo I was at ease. He knew exactly what to do. He worked on my dress up until the day before I left for my wedding. My gown fit me perfectly! His detailed work and attention to detail were very evident from the first fitting. It was great working with Avo and his team!!! I even had him take my rehearsal dress from a size 14 to an 8 which also came out amazing!

Phenomenal work on my suit!!! I couldn’t be more happier friends. Excellent customer service. I recommend Avos work to everyone. Tell him John referred you

Someone referenced that the man who owns the shop is the best tailor in the world, and he may very well be, but he wasn’t the one working on my dress. I went there with a brand new dress with a lot of beading for my wedding party. He told me it would be no problem and I believed him since he came recommended from the shop where I bought my dress and his Unilocal reviews were higher than the other recommended tailors. I needed the dress shortened from the waist (so as not to lose the design at the hem) and also taken in. He asked for $ 180. I was desperate since I needed it in four days and it was for a special occasion, so I agreed. He told me to come back Friday for a fitting so they can reassess the length and see how much to take in the sides. I arrived there and the dress was deconstructed and sloppily sewn together. The front was longer than the back the seam was in the front of my thigh instead of the side (which they tried to argue with me about) and it was an overall mess. He had some woman working on the sewing and he only did the measurements. He told me to wait 5 minutes and they could fix the uneven length and I could try it on again. Two hours later I was still waiting without any explanation or follow up from anyone. I tried the dress again, he took more measurements and I left there distraught thinking I would need a backup dress. I came back Saturday to pick up the dress and to my surprise it was in one piece and fit well but the waist sash wasn’t exactly straight. I didn’t have time to argue the point and I had no time for the fix so I paid the $ 180 and left without the original soft, velvet hanger I had brought the dress in with in order to protect the delicate material. I mention the hanger because the fact that my hanger was taken and replaced with a cheap plastic one was annoying, to say the least, especially since his prices are exorbitant and the customer service was lacking. Also, as a follow up, the seamstress didn’t secure the beading when she cut open the dress at the waist and since the day I picked it up, a mass amount of beads and sequins have fallen off the dress. Either you can work with beading or your can’t, but don’t charge a load, do a half ass job and lie. He and the seamstress got the job sloppily done and the process was difficult. I expected much more for the price and I won’t be returning.

This shop is absolutely amazing, and nothing that I could say here would do it justice!!! I’ve been dreading switching tailors for years because I am so meticulous and particular about how much effort and attention to detail goes into my alterations, particularly with more expensive and unique items. Avo is truly amazing. As a first time customer with a very difficult evening gown to take in and shorten, Avo immediately made me realize I couldn’t be in better hands. He took the time to go over what he recommended I needed, and wasn’t pushy at all. I soon agreed and told him to do whatever he thought The dress needed. I just tried on and picked up the gown, and was blown away. I called him an artist, and believe that he is in every sense of the word. It is very obvious that he is a good man, and truly cares about both his craft and his customers. I’m never going anywhere else.

Is the perfect place for me, everything is ready quickly and efficiently. Thanks Avo! You are the best!!!

Excellent work. good prices! They can do anything you need fast! I’m happy with there work!

reasonable prices! they asked me when I would like to pick my dress up, and got the job done right in time for my event. great customer service! I highly recommend

Intricate work on my niece’s wedding dress, which wasn’t fitting her correctly in several places. Wonderful suggestions to include adding a matching veil. Timeline was excellent and the dress turned out beautiful!

the best tailor in the world period. this man can make magic happen so do not hesitate to stop by for any kind of work:)

Pricey, but excellent work.

The Armenian working at this little shop can alter anything at a really cheap price! However, if you are looking for fashion advice and have really expensive clothing you need altered for that really special occasion, this is probably not the best place. For your everyday needs (especially if you live in the area) though, I am sure it will do! He gets the work done fast and cheap and does a fairly good job. Plus, you don’t need appointments. You can stop by for those last minute emergencies.
