She also made both me and my fiancee feel completely comfortable, safe and cared for during every visit. My second look dress is made completely of beads, making tailoring and alterations incredibly challenging. She did it perfectly speaking to her talent, attention to detail and experience. She also does not up charge for her alterations, and understands that weddings are incredibly expensive, and how impactful it is to have dress alterations not cost an arm and a leg. I cannot say enough about how incredible Svetlana is, and how her work speaks to her dedication to every person who walks in the door. Thank you for everything!!

Svetlana is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever had the privilege of meeting. From the very…read morefirst phone call to inquire about alterations for my wedding dress, I could already sense that she was so warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Meeting her in person only confirmed it. She listened carefully to every single one of my needs and accommodated each one with such grace and care. My wedding dress is chiffon, and she created the most gorgeous custom bustle in the back that made it look beautifully layered and flowing. Beyond her extraordinary skill, she made me feel beautiful. She complimented me, lifted my spirits, and even took the time to teach me how to walk without tripping on my train. That kind of thoughtfulness goes so far beyond what any seamstress is required to do. After I picked up my perfectly hemmed, bustled, and altered dress, I had a small panic moment (actually, a major panic moment) when I realized the style looked slightly different than I remembered from when I originally ordered it from Anthropologie. I called Svetlana in a near meltdown, and without hesitation, she invited me to come in that very same day. Within 20 minutes, she had fixed everything flawlessly!! I was in disbelief!! Svetlana is a true miracle worker, and anyone who gets to work with her is incredibly, incredibly lucky. I will be forever grateful that she was a part of my wedding journey!!! I love you, Svetlana!!!!

I just can't say enough good things about Mr. Sarkisian, the owner of Werner's Tailoring. He has…read morenow tailored several pairs of linen slacks, some linen shirts, showed me that my leather jacket did not need tailoring (and showed me how the sleeves were supposed to be folded back, thus saving me at least $200) and more. The last items I left with him are silk velvet shirts that I've had for awhile, untailored, until I found someone I could trust with them. I read the reviews on Werner's and initially took in some of the not-dear pieces to see how they would come out. They came out GREAT that's how. He said he can also work on sweaters, so I have several of those to leave with him now. Others have said he's "a bit more expensive" than other tailors and I would say he's quite a bit more expensive. That said, you won't get handed back a ruined piece of clothing. You take your items in and get fitted and he does the measurements. You go back to get the items and get fitted again to check for accuracy. I'm beyond grateful to find Mr. Sarkisian because he is meticulous in his work. He has old-school manners and a quick wit. I'm so grateful to have made his acquaintance. Mary

The best businesses are ones with passionate people that enjoy sharing knowledge about their craft…read moreand take their customer relationships seriously. Yuri is an individual who has clearly taken great care in refining his art- twice as long as I've been alive might I add (around 60 years total). In addition to his independent tailoring business, he has spent years working at high end Italian clothing stores (ask him about it!) When I came in to get my groomsman suit done he complimented the fabric quality and explained to me how it would behave with each alteration. We had an enriching dialog during the fitting process, discussion on how he could perform each modification to achieve the silhouette I wanted. Naturally he is knowledgeable on formal fashion and gave me advice on building my outfit including what to look for in good dress shoes. When he sat me down to discuss pricing Yuri was gentle yet firm. What you are paying for here is not simply the labor but the wealth of knowledge accumulated from tailoring suits for over 6 decades. This is a man who knows exactly what his skills are worth and has self respect to never compromise the quality of his work. With all that said, the price was higher than average but still less than I expected for someone of his expertise. If you came in here thinking you could haggle and get a deal, I'm afraid you've missed the point. Take your business to the dry cleaner on the corner so Yuri can spend his time working for people who have a true appreciation for his craft. Finally, you can tell that Yuri has a high level of respect for his customers by his time management. Once he accepted the job, "You will come back here on August 29th", he said. "And it will be ready." Every single other tailor or seamstress I've worked with has at least once not been ready when I came to pick up my clothes, telling me to "come back in a week" or "I'll do it today, come back later". Not very confidence inspiring when your tailor literally rushes to finish your clothes in a few hours. I came back to Werner's on August 29th, and true to word, my suit was ready. For those who care about technical details, I only had him do the hem of the pants, but on the jacket I had him shorten the sleeves by about 3/4" and he did a really nice tapered pinch. I have lanky arms so this greatly improved the silhouette of the arms, and the taper was very natural from the forearm up to the armpit so it didn't stress the fabric at all. To improve the waist silhouette we decided on adding 2 darts in the back. This was more difficult and costly than taking in the rear seam, but doing the latter would have made the vent spacing look awkward and the fabric wouldn't behave naturally around the shoulders. I was apprehensive because the jacket was a double vent, meaning the rear panel looks most natural when it falls relatively flat, so adding darts would mean it would have a contour and be at risk of unnatural tension. When it came time to put on the jacket however, I was absolutely elated. Yuri simply nailed it. Both of us stared at the back of the jacket for a few minutes before he threw his hands up and declared, "It's perfect!" It was almost too good because I had to make sure not to outshine the groom.
