Leonard’s Tailoring

Leonard’s Tailoring is basically a bi-​monthly stop off for me since I moved to St Louis three years ago. I tailor almost everything I own for two reasons: nothing looks better than a great fitting piece of clothing, and I buy everything online. I have everything done from simple hemming, taking in the waist, and changing out a zipper to adding a ribbon down my long sleeves to fit my huge biceps! He has done it all. I’ve even taken him pillow cases and a dog bed!
He knows a woman’s body like the back of his hand. All of my dresses fit like a glove to my curves, as they should! Leonard is also so friendly and always has a nice chat with me.
Cash/​check only (I keep checks pretty much solely for this reason!) but it’s totally worth the extra hassle. Ladies, get your jeans/​dresses/​blouses/​pillows/​curtains tailored by Leonard — he’s a total pro.

Tucked away in an unassuming storefront is a wonderful tailoring service! I was recommended to Leonard’s Tailoring by another tailor who doesn’t work on women’s attire. He did wonders with two formal dresses, both with intricate lace designs. One started out being too baggy around the waist. When I went to pick it up it was absolutely perfect. The cinched in waist made me look skinnier than I’d ever felt before! The other dress fit perfectly too and you can’t tell that it has been altered.
The customer service is wonderful. Upfront pricing, friendly faces, attention to detail and a desire to make sure the customer is always satisfied — what more could you ask for?

I took in a few items to get hemmed before leaving for my honeymoon and I was so happy with Leonard’s Tailoring! He got it done quickly, since I was a procrastinator and didn’t have much time before we left. I also wanted to add a slit in a Maxi Dress to make it move a tad better and it turned out Perfect! Plus Leonard was SO nice! I will be a customer for life! Thank you Leonard, you are fantastic!

I can’t say enough good things about Leonard’s Tailoring! Their hours are convenient, the consultation/​pinning/​fitting was concise and informational, and the work done was top-​notch.
I’m a nurse at an organization with strict uniform guidelines. The scrubs have to all be bought from the same brand (which sucks). The sizes run ridiculously huge. An XXS fits like an XL. I brought 4 scrub tops in to be tailored. I wasn’t sure if there was anything anyone could do to the tops without sacrificing the many necessary pockets, etc. I was greeted by a woman (I wish I could remember her name), who had me put on the tops and spent time to make sure I liked the way the tops would look when they were finished. She even asked me whether I wanted the little patch with the brand name replaced on the sleeve, and if I wanted the ties/​vents replaced. She was METICULOUS! I gave them a three-​week window in which to work, and she quoted me an extremely fair price for the work I needed done. She even itemized everything out so I knew exactly what I was being charged for.
Fast-​forward a couple weeks, and it turned out I needed my tops a lot sooner than I thought I would. I called Leonard, expecting to be upcharged a ton for asking them to rush my order. Not the case! He told me I could pick them up a full week earlier than I had originally planned, and didn’t ask for an extra cent. When I went to get them, I was stuck in traffic and the store was about to close, and I called Leonard, who said he would wait for me. Again, service was amazing.
The tops fit great, I paid a fair price, and if I ever need any further alterations, I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere but Leonard’s Tailoring!
PS– Be sure to bring cash or a check (what’s that??), because they don’t have a credit card machine!

Leonard is very professional. He is the best tailor in Saint Louis. I have been using his services for over 3 years. Very reasonable price and very fast.

I have been meaning to write this review for awhile– this place is great! I brought in new dress pants to have them hemmed and I had told him about the shoddy work I had received from brentwood tailoring up the street; when I can in to pick up my pants he had double hemmed the bottoms to ensure the hem wouldn’t unravel (as it did with brentwood tailoring after about 3 wears) — it was so nice of him and I really appreciated his extra effort to ensure I would be happy. The place is quite small but there’s parking around the back of the building. Highly recommend this tailor.

Leonard is a meticulous tailor who will truly listen to what you need done to a garment. I cannot say enough good things about him.
I had him alter dozens of garments for me over the last two years, culminating in my wedding gown. He hemmed it, added a bustle, and pressed the dress out for me. I think anyone who would who can alter a wedding gown can just about do it all. My husband has had a number of suits tailored by Leonard, and they are always exactly as he needs.
Leonard is also great about giving you an idea on upfront alteration costs. I bought a suit and brought it to him with tags on, to see what kind of alterations would be made, etc. He ended up recommending I get the size larger because the alterations would be easier and less expensive. Just a class act all around!

Leonard is a true pro. I first met Leonard at Mark Shale back in the day, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my alterations. From suits to small fixes, he’s the man.

I’m a very petite person, so alterations are a costly yet inevitable part of my life. At Leonard’s, the sting isn’t so bad. His work is top-​notch and very speedy. Plus, he’s just a cool person. He does original-​hem jeans for $ 20, which is a steal. He’s also fashion-​savvy and can offer advice when asked.
Been going here for years and will continue to do so.
