Alteration Specialists of NY Review

This is by far the best tailoring experience. I am happy to report that the dresses were altered perfectly and look like they were custom-made for me. Definitely recommend this location!

Great tailors for all of your alteration needs. I have used these tailors to alter high-end suits for clients and have been happy with the results each and every time.

Marva is AMAZING!!!!! I cannot say WOW and THANK YOU enough! I had a full lace backed wedding dress that needed to be altered due to some Covid weight gain and now being pregnant. I thought all hope was lost, but came across Alteration Specialists and Marva and she promised they could tailor it so I could still wear the dress my dreams -- and they did! Marva found a matching lace and hand sewed additional pieces in the back so that it matched seamlessly and added small additional panels on the side to accommodate by growing belly. I couldn't be happier and more impressed with Marva and Alteration Specialists. She was a joy to work with and calmed any fears I had that the dress wouldn't fit and that it would be ready in the month's time! For all the work done, the cost was very reasonable too. Five Stars all the way.

I've had several dresses altered here. This place has extremely talented tailors. The work product is excellent. I needed some last minute alterations for an event and Alteration Specialist's uptown location was able to turn around the alterations successfully. Very happy with the experience and results. Best tailors in New York City!

I would highly recommend the tailors at Alteration Specialists.

The tailors did an exceptional job altering my shirts. I would recommend their service to anyone in need of some alterations.

This is one of those services that you just never thought existed. Once you use them, you will never be able to get something tailored elsewhere. Took a tough shoulder job on an older suit, and it was tailored perfectly. Not an easy job either, 2 other tailors said it wasn't possible. From the experience, to the service, this company is really the gold standard in tailoring. So happy that they are near my home and work as well. My wife is going to try the home office service, she is super excited about that.

I had a great experience here at Alteration Specialists of NY uptown location. I worked with Madison and she was so sweet and kind. The alteration quality was amazing. Turn-around was quick and impressive. Highly recommend these tailors.

I had been to alteration specialists' downtown office and was told they just opened a new location. This location is right by my office so I brought them an expensive gown I needed tailored for a wedding and it came out perfectly. Highly recommend!

These guys are awesome. Super professional, engaged and efficient. I had an emergency with a button that came off on my suit before a dinner. Called them up and they said come on in and fixed it in minutes. Not a big alteration, but you can tell whether a business is with it or not within seconds of walking in...these guys run a great business and care about helping people.

I just wanted to say thank you to Marva for the amazing work she did for my dream dress. She is an excellent seamstress! She was very professional, so artistic in her craft and pays attention to details. Overall, she is exceedingly talented and her work exemplified her artistic gift. I would definitely recommend her!

I had my wedding dress altered here and the wedding jumpsuit I was changing into for dancing. My dress was very complex and very detailed and I knew it would not be an easy job for any alterations professional. I could not have made a better decision than going with Alterations Specialist upper eastside for the job. The dress fit me like a glove and hugged my body in all the right places. I was worried doing work on it would effect the overall look and intricacy of the dress but it was perfect and even more beautiful than I expected. As most women feel, trusting someone with your wedding dress is nerve wrecking. I was on expert hands. Thank you so much for helping to make me look gorgeous on my big day.

I was introduced to this company via Yelp (highest rated tailors in NYC at 5 stars). Had an excellent experience at the 5th avenue location. So, I was very excited when they opened an uptown location. Same high quality and excellent customer service. Will be returning.

Nothing but great things to say, good quality alterations.

Best tailors in New York City. Needed some suits altered and was very impressed with the work product, customer service and experience. Go-to tailors in New York City.

Amazing work! I highly recommend this location if your looking for great service for any alteration need.

If you need your dress altered ask for Marva Edmund. She helped fix my wedding dress to literally fit me perfectly. She was professional, very pleasant and her work is flawless. She put my needs first overall which I appreciated because most places only see you as a price tag. If I ever get married again I'd definitely come to her again for my alterations

Great Experience !! My specialist was Ms. Marva ! She was lovely. My event was less than a week away and Marva got he job done. I went to several places and I was not convinced the job could get done in such short notice. She worked fast and efficiently . Sweetest person not to mention. The details were amazing! I will definitely be back for my daughter sweet sixteen dress! We loved her work!!!

Another amazing experience exactly like their downtown location! I'm so glad that I found this place and that they have two locations where my work and home is in in-between them! My overall experience and the place itself was clean, organized, smooth, and very professional. The price is decent especially because they're the best of the best. The tailors and the front desk lady know what they're doing and allowed my dress to be done for rush the following day! I'm definitely coming back here again for my next alterations!

I brought in a new suit for altering. They hemmed the pants which was fine. The work on the suit coat was disappointing. Straight away I pointed out the buttons not being lined up properly with the button hole stitching. I also asked for stacked, kissing buttons. Some buttons stacked and others did not. They took the suit coat back (as I waited) to fix it. It came back the same. To me, they don t care about the work they put out.
I took the suit coat to another tailor.
I will not be giving them future business.

There's nothing better than a confident tailor!

Prior to going to Alteration Specialists, two different establishments denied tapering my pair of designer cargo pants because they said design was "too intricate alter."

I was very fortunate to discover Alteration Specialists because not only did they accept the task to alter my cargo pants but the tailor also displayed 100% confidence in his craftsmanship during the fitting which is something that I find truly valuable.

My pants alteration came out amazing! I will be going to Alterations Specialists moving forward for all of my clothing.

Was happy with my experience at their downtown location and tried their uptown location recently. Was thrilled with my experience and the quality of the alterations.

I have been to both of their locations and can safely say that this company offers the best tailoring services in NYC. I bring all of my difficult pieces here and they alter them to perfection!

Thank you so much for your business and quality of work!! My specialist was Marva ! Before I was nervous about my wedding dress and I had only 2 weeks until my big day. Marva
Made my vision come
True with the sizing and the tedious details I requested. She was very attentive and responsive ! My next big event Marva is my goto! Hands down=] Thank you again !

Highly professional and they do outstanding work. I can't imagine going anywhere else. I recommend Alteration Specialists to anyone in need of a great tailor in the city!

Great experience! Ornella was super helpful! recommended!

The team worked magic on the my vintage 1973 leather bomber. I couldn't even tell that alterations were done. That is the sign of a good tailor! Highly recommend. Experience was night and day better than typical alteration shops.

Best alternations in NYC! I booked an appointment just a few days in advance and I came in with a cocktail dress that needed to be shortened within two weeks for a party.
I was scared because it was so last minute and other tailoring places I've been to usually don't accommodate for rushed alterations. But Nigel, the manager, promised me that his tailors would have it done in time.
I was really happy when I got a phone call telling me that my dress was ready to be picked up - it was earlier than I expected.
In terms of atmosphere, everyone there is really friendly and willing to give you exactly what you want. I recommend coming here for any alterations you need.

This place is awesome!! Very pricey but you get what you pay for. Fanny did my dress and she's amazing, please ask for her she did such a great job on my dress! It was a long ball gown with difficult panelling and she managed to take it down two sizes and still make it look good (and not distorted), and I didn't trust a normal dry cleaner to do it. Thank you Fanny!

Best tailors. I was using downtown location for a long time. But the uptown is the biggest GEM. This space is amazing and super high end.

I used their downtown location and was very happy. I was so happy to learn they had an uptown location (so much closer to my apartment). I worked with Nadine at the uptown location, and she did an excellent job altering my dresses. I would absolutely recommend Alteration Specialists.

I used Alteration Specialists' Union Square location previously and had an awesome experience. I was thrilled to discover this uptown location that was way more convenient for me! Had a great experience from scheduling my appointment, meeting with the tailor, and receiving my garment in a seriously impressively short timeframe. Can't say enough about the work Alteration Specialists does. The customer service, quality (and speed!) of work, and the price point-- all in all, can't be beat.

If you have patience and time to spend with multiple fittings I would recommend their services 10/10. I brought in a vintage gown with bias cut geometric panels to be taken down 3 sizes...no easy task! The end result was perfection and I am happy with the results. My advice for tricky pieces: make an appointment with their "specialty" tailor, he is the one to go to initially for hard projects as he brings a very close eye and attention to detail!

I live a couple blocks away and found them on Yelp (after originally going to their downtown location). Had a great experience. I got a leather jacket altered and it was tailored to perfection. Would highly recommend. They lived up to their 5 star reputation.

I was referred here and was very happy with the tailoring work.

Best alteration and tailoring company in NYC. Will definitely be returning.

Ornela was so amazing. She made my life before the wedding so much easier. She simply delivered accurately and timely, she was dedicated and very thorough. I bought a sample dress with a lot of beading. She fixed everything perfectly, double checked and cut all the threads right before I picked it up before the wedding. She gave the best suggestion of tools to use to help get dressed and undressed. It seems to be slightly pricey if you compare them with some other places, but honestly it is totally worth the money in my opinion. I've heard so many horror stories about how dress fitting could go wrong from people around me, and with Alteration Specialists, I didn't have to worry at all and completely trusted their amazing work.

I've been going to the downtown location of Alteration Specialists for awhile now. All the tailors there have the most experience of any other tailor in the city. Their costumer service is also amazing! I recently tried their new location since it's closer to my apartment and was equally happy with the results. If you need tailoring done, go to Alteration Specialists of NY! Highly recommended!

Best alteration experience around. This place is changing the game and expectations in the space. Can do anything and work on all types of garments.

Best tailoring company out there. We haver worked with both downtown and uptown. They are both amazing!

I had the most wonderful experience with Marva at the Upper East Side location. She tailored my wedding dress to perfection and added custom elements with extra fabric I purchased. I brought in pictures of what I was looking for, skeptical if someone could replicate it, and Marva made the vision come to life, PLUS some! Great work! Will certainly use again.

I had a few suits and jackets altered here and have been thrilled with the experience. I ve used their 5th avenue location a few times and have consistently had a great experience. When they added a second location that was closer to my apartment, I was pleased to get the added convenience. I highly recommend both, Alteration Specialists, downtown and uptown locations for any tailoring or alteration work. They are the best tailors in Manhattan.

I can't say enough about the tailors at Alteration Specialists! They do a perfect job every time. This is the place to go if you're in and around the city and need a reliable tailor!

Best tailors in NYC. They made the impossible possible. Trust them with all of your expensive and delicate pieces.

Nothing should be more simple for a tailor or seamstress than hemming a pair of khakis. Perhaps sewing a button... Take 'em to the seamstress at your local dry cleaner and, presto! Unfortunately, not so fast. How many times has my local hack screwed this up. Ok, so I'm particular, very particular. But really, outside seam top of band to bottom of hem 40" is not that difficult an instruction to follow. I recently brought a dozen pairs of khakis of various shades and weights to Alteration Specialists. Half were new, half were redos. My only instruction beyond the above was to please do a good job--no uneven legs, please, and 40" means, well, 40". I've tried most of them on and actually worn four of them (the only real way to try). The verdict: fantastic! So far, spot on! I will, for sure, be using them again. By the way, I was shocked by the price. Given the address and "this is not your seamstress stuffed in a corner of you local dry cleaner" setup I expected the price to be far higher. In fact I almost felt I was undercharged. Well done, everyone!!! BTW, I HAVE NOT BE ASKED OR SOLICITED OR KNOW THE OWNER OR RECEIVED SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR POSTING THIS! -Will

The cuffs of my Canada Goose jacket were ruined by a subpar trailer and alteration specialists came to my rescue. They went to the garment district and replaced the cuffs perfectly and quickly so I didn t freeze my a** off without my warmest jacket. Lol Great work I plan on coming back with more prices.

My favorite tailors - don't trust anyone but them to tailor my more expensive pieces. I bring all of my dresses for weddings there - truly amazing experience and worth every dollar!

I had a great experience at Alteration Specialists! Very satisfied with the speed and quality with which my alterations were completed. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Got a bridesmaid dress from Wedding Library altered. Alteration Specialists delivered exceptional results. Very happy.

This is the nicest alteration shop out there. It is beautiful inside and they have the best staff around. Highly recommend.

My favorite tailor in NYC. I trust them with my most high end garments that I would never go to a dry cleaner for. They are truly amazing and would recommend to anyone! They will also deliver to your home if you need.

They are true alterations specialists. I needed to have functioning buttonholes on my blazer, and it was done on time, and the quality of the work was superb. I'll definitely use their service again.

Best tailors in NYC. I've used them so many times to alter suits for clients. Great experience and quality.

Best tailors in NYC! Can do anything. They are very reasonably priced. Basically same price as the local dry cleaners but so MUCH better.

Terrible experience - in shortening the sleeves of a blazer, they altered it so that my arms could barely move (they made the armpit opening tiny, preventing any mobility). I had to wait around for them to try to fix it - and when I returned I spent 10 minutes trying to buzz at the entrance (and call) for someone to let me in. Only managed to get in when someone else left... won't return.

I was really excited when Alteration Specialists added a second location across the street from my office. I tried their downtown location and was impressed. My experience has been stellar. Highly recommended.

Best place ever. From one day to the next. Clothes came out perfect. Couldn't ask for anything better. Thanks for the super fast service and perfection. They know what they're doing. The price is up there, but it's wort it because you know it will be done right. :) Definitely going there from now on.

Had a similarly wonderful experience. Will definitely come back.

I always get my clothing altered at Alteration Specialists. They are the only people I trust!

Highly recommended. I've been to their 5th avenue location a few times and was thrilled with the results. Was very happy with this experience, especially given how close it is to my apartment. Best tailors in New York City.

Tried their downtown location and was similarly happy with the results here. Probably the nicest alteration place to which I've been.

Beautiful and open space - very clean. The staff was very friendly and attentive and got what I needed done very quickly. I was surprised since I thought I had a difficult task for them, but everything was done perfectly!

If you're looking for high quality alterations, then look no further.
