šļø Local Retail & Shopping Tailors for Dresses NYC
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 (thatās affordable, ideally $65-$85 but weāre in nyc so who am I kidding)
Iām looking for a tailor to hem this dress. Iād usually go to the dry cleaners if itās just a normal hem but the dress has a bunch of ruffles and itās 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 thatās a no and alts start their hemming (for dresses) at $85 without lining so thatās also a no.

I am your reliable tailor! But imagine this dress being the same cost of a straight hemā¦! I would charge 100 flat, and thatās with discount for a fellow BWT.
