Our Custom Tailor

Awesome tailor, professional, quick, excellent work on man’s jacket. Will be taking more items soon. A real gem for our neighborhood.

Had 2 pairs of pants hemmed, $ 10.00. Sweetest lady in the world runs this place. I was a little paranoid, I’m a short person, with long legs, so I’m very particular about my pant length. But she did an amazing job and they were hemmed perfectly! I won’t go anywhere else.

Quick, talented and friendly, and pant hems have held up better than when I’ve had them done at Unique Tailor. Plus, I don’t have to hassle with the long line and claustrophobic space with everyone watching you as you try on. I will be going here from now on!

Wonderful tailor, excellent prices. I get shirts taken in here often. She does a great job. She has an idea of how much a shirt should be taken in to leave room for movement. I sometimes have to nudge her a bit because I like my clothes more fitted. I also have gotten pants hemmed and waist taken in a few inches. She is frank about what she thinks you should or should not do.
This is a no-​frills no-​nonsense kinda shop. If you want good tailoring at fantastic prices, come to see this little Korean lady. Cash only.

Hemmed my pants quickly and for a great price.

Kim did a great job tailoring the straps of my dress in such a short turnaround time. She is an eccentric woman and at one point when she couldn’t open the cash register she exclaimed «oh sh**t!» and started mumbling something about her son. As a previous reviewer mentioned, I too thought she was intoxicated.
Peculiarity aside, I will be coming back to her for more alterations. Her rate was pretty cheap, but she does require you to pay in cash (probably to keep her costs low). Usually when I go to the tailor they have to redo the tailoring a second time because they did not get it right the first time, but she ended up fixing what I needed just the one time!
If you want a low costing tailor or just want an afternoon talking to a very quirky lady, I suggest Our Custom Tailor.

I’ve now been coming to this tailor now for several years and don’t plan to go anywhere else! Service is always friendly, prices are reasonable, and she’s generally flexible about when you need your clothing done. Glad to have a reliable tailor!

I usually get my clothes tailored because of my body shape (very athletic). So for me, when I buy a 18 ½ collar size dress shirt at Dillard’s for example, its like putting on your grandmothers night gown. The problem is, when I get my clothes tailored, its costing me an arm and a leg to do just so my clothes fit me…
When I was looking online for a new tailor, I ran across this tailor shop. I called the store for there prices and they are very reasonable, especially for the area its located in (University Park/​SMU). Its very reasonable, like a needle in the haystack kind of reasonable. But seriously, call for yourself! Its not one of those places that changes the prices the second they get done pinning you. The price on the board is the price you’ll pay.
So I took a few dress shirts, a chino, one pair jeans, and two trousers just so I can see what she can do to them…
I wanted the dress shirts to be more fitting to my torso and the arm sleeves to be more fitting around. The chinos I wanted them to be tapered and hemmed, my jeans and trousers were the same way just to the exception that I wanted suspender buttons on the trousers.
So what were the results? Amazing! The fit on all my articles of clothing fit perfectly! Not only that, but the quality of the job was just the same as if you went to a more expensive tailor. She definitely will continue getting my clothes to fix!
*Note: The owner of the store is a she, so I used she and the tailor shop interchangeably. Also, they only take cash.

I stopped in here to have suit pants hemmed. I had previously had my work done at the retailer. It was very nice to hear this place charged a fraction of the price and had the pants ready for me the next day. She has won my business.

I recently visited this tailor to have 3 skirts altered. She was VERY professional and friendly. She did an expert job on my skirts, and I can’t wait to have another reason to go see her for help!!! Keep up the good work!

Mrs. Kim does excellent work for a great price. She tailors all of my Banana and Dillards work pants plus my Juicy terry cloth pants. Cost is $ 5 – 7 per item, which is cheaper than when I lived in Tulsa, OK. She has always done a fabulous job of both shortening my pants as well as taking in/​letting out waistlines. Yes, she is a funny character, but she is quick, inexpensive, and has never screwed up anything.

I had some suit pants shortened for $ 5, and I was able to pick them up later that day for no additional charge. I think if it’s under $ 10 or $ 15 you do have to use cash (or maybe a check is okay?) so that’s kind of annoying but other than that I don’t have any complaints!

If you’re looking for an inexpensive tailor, and quality of work is not of primary concern, look no further!
In all fairness, considering that she is intoxicated at all times, I think the work is pretty good overall. And did I mention she was cheap? But, sadly, after she ruined a couple of my shirts, I decided the price was, in fact, wrong.
Again, in fairness, she did some pretty good work on several items. Perhaps that work was done before the 10AM buzz set in. It’s hard to be certain.
She did bust out a Karaōke machine (srsly) while I was there, the idea of which is amusing, but the reality of which was sobering. And, after the shock wore off, obnoxious.
And that’s all I have to say about that.

Excellent work by an unusual woman. This lady was singing Karaōke in a foreign language while I was changing clothes. Her shop isn’t much to look at, but I’ve been really happy with the alterations she’s made to my dressier clothes and suits. She totally re-​made a business suit for my husband, too.
The reason I went with 4 stars instead of 5 is her work with knits. I took some men’s polo shirts to her (my husband has an athletic build, so i got him XL but they were too boxy and long), and she got them the right size, but in a month or so, the hem she had stitched at the bottom had made a row of holes in the shirt. It’s hard to do stretch and sew work though, and her other tailoring has been perfect.
