Bayside Custom Tailors

I normally don’t leave reviews, in fact this is my first review ever. So that alone should set the excellency of this place. I brought in 3 garments; 2 dress pants and 1 heavy winter wool jacket. I addressed the pants issues first and they deliberated and knew it would be something that wouldn’t be worth an investment to repair/wouldn’t look good after the repair.
So honesty is something you’re going to get over here.
Now for the greatest issues, my winter coat. The inside sleeve connection to the main fabric of the jacket was badly torn from over-​stretching. Not only was it getting progressively worse each and every time i wore my coat this winter, it was also starting to pull a lot of loose threads – in a nutshell, it was atrocious! So again, all three of us talked and discussed how to go about fixing it, i expressed my issues on how it got to that point (coat was tight on the chest area) and together we came up with a solution. Extra high quality fabric was placed at the connection area to allow for easy wear of the coat and stretching if needed.
I could not believe how great the end result came out to be, it was truly a work of art, as if that was part of the coat to begin with! The cost was reasonably high, hence reasonably because it was definitely within reason with all the hard work they had to do to make this coat look brand new! I’ll make this easy for everyone reading, since i mainly look for pros/​cons bullet points when scanning through Unilocal reviews:
PROS:
–Workmanship
–Constructive collaboration; we looked at several fabrics to use and shared ideas
–High quality material and expert design strategies to avoid future issues
–Honesty
CONS:
Really aren’t any except one that I will mention (even though i am a firm believer of you get what you pay for)
–Reasonably high pricing
I will be using this shop for any other fabric needs.

We recently brought in two of my husband’s Brooks Brothers suits in for some major alterations on Monday morning. The alterations included having the sleeves shortened and buttons moved, jackets and pants hemmed.
The price was a bit on the higher end, (more along the lines of what we’ve paid for similar alterations in Manhattan). However, this was TOTALLY WORTH IT! The work is impeccable – you can’t even tell the suit was altered and the suits were ready Friday afternoon. We will definitely return the next time we need alterations.

My previous tailor Jimmy in Astoria didnt do a good job on my suit. So I had to find another one. I am glad that I found this place. The modified my suit very well. It fits me very well and I really like it. The reason I gave 4 stars is that this place is a bit too expensive. It cost me $ 140 to fix my suit.

I’ve been using this tailor for years now and find the work is excellent. The prices were always bordering on high… and now they’ve increased. I used to pay $ 11 for a hem… then it was $ 12…now it’s $ 15! That’s a big jump! I left there yesterday paying $ 65 for 2 pairs of pants that were taken in ($ 25 each!!) and 1 hem! Come on… really? I’m petite so I do a lot of alterations on my clothes. They never offered a discount for all the business I’ve brought to them (unless I asked, which was maybe twice) and even then gave it reluctantly. Still, I’ve recommended them to numerous people. This should be 5 star rating but I had to knock 2 stars off bc they just don’t appreciate loyal/​steady customers. I’m actually on Unilocal looking for a new tailor.

I just picked up my bridesmaid’s dress from the tailors. I learned of it through Unilocal reviews, and I made the 35 minute long trek into no where in Flushing/​Bayside to drop off my dress. I just lost about 35 pounds over the months and dropped 4 dress sizes. It goes without saying that I needed to get extensive work done on my dress. I had to get the top, sides, and arm holes cut and resized. The total came out to $ 120, which is incredibly expensive (and why I am docking off one star). However, when I picked up the dress today and tried it on, it fit great and the workmanship was top notch. You couldn’t tell that the dress was altered in any way and the seams were near perfect. I also have to say that the people who work at the tailors here are friendly. If i ever need to get an expensive or tricky item tailored, I’ll be sure to be return.

These tailors are amazing. I have used multiple tailors in NYC and Bayside Custom Tailors are by far the best. I have taken shirts and pants with diffcult alterations to them that other places wouldn’t touch, and they have been fixed flawlessly. They are a little more expensive than other places but for the quality of work you are getting it is more than worth it.

I was looking for a good tailor near my neighborhood to shorten the length of my suit. based on the reviews here, I decided to visit Bayside Custom Tailors. the lady was very friendly and felt very welcomed when I walked through the door. I wanted to shorten the suit from the top but they examined the fit and told me that it was not possible with the cut of the suit. They seemed to know what they were talking about. The cost of the job was a bit pricey but I think the quality of the work was worth it. If you need work done on an «expensive» piece of clothing, I would recommend bringing it here. Otherwise, for simple/​basic jobs, it may cost more than the clothing itself.
I had a good experience. The suit fits perfectly now. If you are looking for a quality tailor in Queens, I would definitely recommend this place.

Friendly folks but really over priced…$ 20 to adjust the straps of my dress… :/

I have to say that this tailor is the best I’ve seen. I bought two suits that I needed to lengthen the sleeves on and I took one to my regular dry cleaner and they really messed it up. You could see the fold they put in it.
Then I brought the other suit to this place and when I got it back, they did an excellent job! It looked like it came out of the factory. Pricey, but worth it. You get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend this place if you want to look good!

I brought two shirts in and a blazer that I needed to have the sleeves tailored. For the three, it cost $ 80. The lady there was very helpful and quick with the measuring. It took less than a week and I picked it up. .
Everything turned out really well.

I lost a bunch of weight, so I brought in a suit to be altered. It went from a suit that was comfortable to something I could move my arms in, and is totally unwearable. They said «it is a suit, it is supposed to fit that way» As a guy who normally wears bespoke (which is what they were altering) I know better. Total waste of my money, plus a suit that was to large but wearable is now unwearable. Out getting a new suit right now, and won’t let them near my clothes again
I now have a very expensive rag

I have never written a Unilocal review but felt compelled to write about Bayside Custom Tailors because they are THAT good. I have brought two dresses here to be tailored (one simpler than the other, but both at least somewhat complicated), and both times I couldn’t have been happier with the work. This most recent dress I picked up this week; it was a (very) expensive Cavalli dress that was probably designed for a 6′ tall model (not me!), but I loved it so much I brought it to the tailor to make it work. The dress is a beautiful silk fabric (very difficult to work with), and extensive alterations were needed (there was a silk lining, had to take out the zipper, had to make a new seam in the back, etc. etc.). The owners conferred over how best to make it work, and when I picked it up, it was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for your hard work on this dress — and all the other alterations I will be bringing to you in the future! I would trust them with just about anything!

I recently lost some weight and needed to get my suits altered from head to toe. The same as the other reviewers, they are not cheap but the quality of work speaks for itself. Now my suits fit so well that people often believe that they are custom made. I am definitely going back there for any and all of my custom tailoring needs.

Look for their sign in the window that says «Master Taylor.» On the drive back from Woodbury Commons (designer outlet shopping heaven!), our nephew Don found this place online and we headed straight away to hem four suits that my husband had just bought. Since we were on a very short trip in New York, we asked how soon they could finish the alterations. «Tomorrow afternoon?» was their reply. We picked up his suits the next day — they were perfectly finished. The husband and wife couple who run this shop truly are «master tailors!»

Got my dress hemmed here and it was perfectly done! $ 40 may be a little pricey but they do get it done in a short period of time so can’t really complain. Definitely going back in the future!
Note– Cash only!

amazing fantastic workmanship… they altered 5 pairs of suit pants to re-​fit me and a jacket, AND the work was done beautifully. $ 230 for 5 pairs of pants and a jacket, might be pricey, BUT, a new suit would have cost the same $ 200… and it would never fit like this! good work, great place.

They do good work and they’re fast, but they’re definitely not cheap. If you just need some pants hemmed, you’re probably better off going to your local dry cleaners, but for something more elaborate like a suit jacket, I’d recommend Bayside Custom Tailors.

They’re the best tailors I’ve ever had. A bit pricy but you get what you pay for. They do any and all alterations. So far, all my jeans, dresses and shirts all altered there. Makes me look like I know what I’m doing when I don’t. That’s good enough for me.
