Mike’s Custom Tailor

I needed a hem for a dress that had four layers of fabric. Sophie did a beautiful job, and the price was quite reasonable. Done on time, looked better than new. Do know she only accepts cash or checks. I recommend Sophie and Mike’s Custom Tailor highly!

Great tailor… Sophie is very talented.
Yes very direct and matter of fact but the work is as good as I’ve found in the city. Had to really alter a dress for me and sew elbow patches on a jkt for my husband– both came out perfect. Prices weren’t cheap but fair for the level of quality. I’ll definitely be going back.

Definitely 5 star. I had all my old boxy sport coats recut here. They look the bomb. Reasonable price. Seriously, Sophie does excellent work. This is my tailor.

I inquired about the cost to take in a suit and was told $ 45 ($ 20 for the coat; $ 25 for the trousers). «Great!» sez me. «I’ll be right in!» After being measured up, I offered to pay. «No,» sez the seamstress. «You pay when you pick up. Give me 10 days.»
11 days later I come in to pick up the suit (with, if the alterations were well done, another suit) and was presented with a $ 120 invoice.
«Why did you tell me $ 35?» asks me.
«$ 35 is for ‘basic’ but I did the sleeves, the back… a lot of work» sez she.
«I see,» sez me. «You didn’t tell me it would be more when you measured me. Wouldn’t that have been the time to tell me the cost would be $ 120?»
Responds she: «How was I to know until I started to work on it?»
I have no doubt Mike’s Custom Tailor is worth every penny. But when the pennies add up to 8,500 more pennies than I expected, well… that’s no good.
I found a great alternative: Nordstrom.

I brought my son’s favorite cashmere sweater in for repair. I thought it had just a few moth holes in it and was worth fixing. After the tailor looked at it, we discovered there were more like 20 holes. She quoted me $ 45 to repair it. I questioned whether it was a good idea, but went ahead anyway. I just picked it up and it looks like new. Amazing.

Sophie has been doing my alterations for nearly 10 years. Her mastery of her craft is astounding and her alterations are always perfect! A few years ago, after I lost quite a bit of weight, Sophie was tasked with rebuilding my professional wardrobe, including 5 women’s suits, several pants and skirts. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the results. I’ve recommended her to several family members, friends, and co-​workers and they all rave about her work.
