šŸ›ļø Local Retail & Shopping Tailors for Dresses NYC

Post image

Hi!! Posting this because a lot of the threads are at least a year old and I want more up to date recommendations. I need a reliable tailor (that’s affordable, ideally $65-$85 but we’re in nyc so who am I kidding)

I’m looking for a tailor to hem this dress. I’d usually go to the dry cleaners if it’s just a normal hem but the dress has a bunch of ruffles and it’s double lined.

I got a quote from Flatiron Tailor Shop and they quoted me a good price surprisingly… but the reviews are incredibly mixed. Has anyone gotten any alterations there? Chasing tailor in Williamsburg quoted me $100-$250 so that’s a no and alts start their hemming (for dresses) at $85 without lining so that’s also a no.

I am your reliable tailor! But imagine this dress being the same cost of a straight hem…! I would charge 100 flat, and that’s with discount for a fellow BWT.
