Really amazing experience here! I had to get my rehearsal dinner dress altered, the shape was a bit modern and the dress material required more experience than the average one. Emilia D. was so amazing to work with, made me feel at ease, picked up on how I was feeling about adjustments without me having to even vocalize - you can tell she's a master fitter. My dress fit like a glove after and I honestly thought wow maybe I should be getting dresses tailored more often. Highly highly recommend, a bit pricier than your avg tailor but you get what you pay for! Pro tip: don't be a procrastinator like me, book more than two weeks out so you don't pay a rush fee read more

Thank you Alts and tailor Myrna for providing wonderful customer service and alterations! It's easy to book an appointment online through their website. You just scan the QR code at the front to check in. Super fast and easy appointment, and the turnaround is great. You get a text when your pieces are ready. Will definitely be back! read more

Myrna is AMAZING!! I had some really intricate detailed designer shorts that needed rushed tailoring and she did amazing. I didn't need any adjustments & she did it on time. Staff was also very helpful and fast. read more

Henry and the team are great - haw has multiple positive experiences from coats, to suits, to shirts, to repairs - always professional

Brought leather pants and jackets all the way from LA to be tailored here. Everyone is lovely to deal with and Emilia did a great job tailoring. Brought more leather and other items for Emilia and Henry to take care of. Thanks!! read more

Emilia was amazing. So kind and friendly and did a wonderful job on my top and dress!

Amazing experience. I asked for complicated work on two designer gowns, and they did a beautiful job very quickly. Also super friendly and knowledgeable staff. read more

Easy location to find and schedule appt. Seamtrist is knowledgable and well versed in alterations. A+++ read more

Amazing service! Tatyana was so helpful and knowledgeable. My dress was a very delicate fabric and she was great about presenting me the best options to alter it the way I need read more

It was great coming here for my wedding gown! I worked with Humberto to hem the dress, add a bustle, and take in the waist. It took three visits total, and I never felt stressed about the process: I always knew what was being done and when my next appointment was. They worked with me to figure out the right length of the hem as I was choosing shoes and accessories, communicating pricing at each visit, and were easy to work with. I felt totally at ease putting this complex and expensive gown in their hands. The location is also beautiful (airy and light) and super convenient, and all the folks at the front desk were kind & responsive! read more

Had a great experience with Alt, was able to book easily online for a same day appointment, and they were able to rush my bridesmaids dress alteration and have it done in a week! read more

Shqipe was super helpful with both hemming and lengthening my different dress options.

I came to Alts with several rush alterations. Myrna completed them all beautifully. I even had a same-day rush alteration which they were very accommodating for. I've never had service like this. Prices are very fair compared to other places I've been for alterations in the city. Thank you Myrna! read more

Staffs are super friendly and welcoming! Nice clean environment + quick and efficient :3

amazing work and was able to get them rushed. very professional and easy. I was in and out in 15 minutes

Wow - to say I'm impressed and overwhelmed by the beauty of Souleymane's work would be an understatement. Upon entering the light, airy space (with a killer view), I knew immediately I found the right place to tailor my Commes des Garcon jacket. A special piece, I didn't want just any tailor to work on this. I went to three different shops but just didn't have that feeling of trust. Souleymane handled me with the utmost care and delivered fabulous results. Highly recommended! Quick turnaround time and couldn't ask for better results. Worth the splurge (definitely on the expensive side) - but new customer here for sure! read more

Cannot speak on service, as I did not follow through with my alterations, but $250 for hemming a dress was outrageous. That price was more than the dress. I only recommend this for someone who is bringing in a high value item that is worth investing in the high price tailoring. read more

SUCH a wonderful experience. Professional kind and fast. I HIGHLY recommend ALTS!! I was way behind in getting my alterations done and from phone call to finished fitting was 2 hours AND they are getting it don't in 3 days for me. Really amazing. Thank you girls! read more

Wonderful service - quality work - consistently good! Highly recommend. Convenient location.

Great service - they do an excellent job and have good turnaround time. Would recommend!

I can't recommend Alteration Specialists enough! I go to the soho location and see Altina. Everyone there is great but Altina has an incredible understanding of my vision and offers fantastic guidance when I'm uncertain. The work is consistently completed promptly, showcasing her commitment to timeliness. Most importantly, every piece she alters leaves me feeling confident and stylish. I've become a regular there, visiting almost weekly. The girls that work the front desk are also fantastic and couldn't be more accommodating. I opt for having my clothes delivered. If the delivery times don't match my schedule they'll walk my alterations over themselves since I'm so close. It's truly above and beyond service all around! read more

I brought my wedding dress here after a local tailor kept rescheduling my fitting appointment for two weeks. Alteration Specialists had great reviews and I felt immediately relieved once I met Humberto, discussed what I wanted to change, and scheduled the next fitting. I ended up getting a lot of changes done, e.g., removed a belt, changed the sleeves, added a bustle, etc., but was so comforted by how I knew I was leaving my dress in capable hands and that it would be completed in time for my wedding. Humberto basically made my dress into the dress of my dreams and I'm so happy I came here!!! read more

ALTS was so amazing! They helped me rush a same day alteration. Best in New York!! Thank you for always helping me out with all of my last minute alterations ! read more

I planned my wedding in two months and needed adjustments to my wedding gown. I was losing hope that I wouldn't look like how I envisioned. I made my appointment with Alteration Specialist and everything changed! After my initial meeting with Humberto I immediately felt at ease, not only is he an expert but he is also very kind and patient. All my brides here know how stressful the wedding planning process can be and sometimes you need that reassurance and this is what Humberto and staff were able to provide. With only a month away from the big day, Humberto was able to make all the adjustments and more! I was able to customize my dress to my liking and it looked exactly how I envisioned, it was perfect! Thank you Humberto and team. I loved my entire experience with you all and I'm looking forward to going back. read more

I had my midi-length wedding dress altered here. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Diana was my tailor and she totally knows what she's doing. I was going in just to have the straps shortened, but she convinced me to add in cups and tailor the bust a little bit and WOW it made such a huge difference. More expensive than your neighborhood tailor, but so worth it for the expertise! read more

I reached out to Alteration Specialists in an emergency situation just days before my wedding when another alterations place (RK Bridal) completely destroyed the front of my dress. Diana and team were so responsive and attentive from the beginning. The moment I stepped in, they had a calming effect on me because I could immediately tell they were professionals. During the try-on, she immediately noticed the areas that needed to be fixed without me even having to tell her. Diana completely replaced the front of my dress and returned it to its original condition. Thank you so much for your miracle work! read more

Altina and the team were so great! They were able to turnaround a tricky alteration of my couture dress in 2 days. I've never worked with more professional alteration specialists and will be bringing all my dresses in need of work here! read more

Tatiana was super helpful and accommodating with some complex alterations, and got everything done in a timely manner

Extremely friendly, helpful and honest! She could not help me with the garment but I'd return for sure for other alterations. Nice space as well. read more

Say goodbye to a hot stuffy room trying to carefully undress with pins everywhere. This place is super cute, air conditioned, and offer refreshments upon arrival. Must schedule an appointment! This place also offers a rush service (for an added fee of course). read more

The most incredible experience at alteration specialist soho! They altered 2 dresses for me and gave me advice on the best shape wear that would accent the dresses even more. It was done within the week! And even better, a pair of pesky (and expensive Gucci tights that ripped on ONE wear), they were able to fix in 5 minutes. I love love love them! Highly recommend! read more

Awful bridal experience. Found stains on my dress the day of my wedding. My weight and my body was constantly questioned and they kept telling me how "my body would be changing a lot over the next few months", regardless of the fact that I did not share any plans to lose weight. I had five appointments and on the fifth one, two days before the wedding, my dress was still not ready. I would come in early for my appointment and only be seen 30 minutes after my time. Front desk always seemed inconvenienced by my questions. Would not recommend. read more

Atef replaced the lining on my favorite winter coat that I intend to wear till one of us dies (which is more likely to be me first than the coat). They also repaired the pockets. They initially forgot about them so I did have to come in twice and this is why I am rating at a four star right now. However they were very nice and did an excellent job and used a more suitable pocket fabric for the job. End result - my coat gives me joy again and it has no holes in the lining! I also had a cocktail dress altered here to raise it up at the shoulders. That went off without a hitch! And for what it's worth, this is a very nice-feeling place with a beautiful view out of the window. People greeting you are super friendly and sweet. It feels good to come in. I will definitely go back whenever I have something to alter and I will update the review rating as I get more things done here, with any hope to a five star! read more

Recently took a formal gown here for alterations and am beyond pleased with the result. Dianna is so talented and added straps to my dress, making it look like it was supposed to be made with straps originally! the turnaround time was quick, all staff members were pleasant and helpful, and it was so easy to book. Highly recommend! read more

I called two weeks before my wedding with a dress emergency. Within the hour I was meeting with the manager and two tailors to assess the repairs needed and 4 days later I had my fitting. They are extremely professional and the store is tastefully decorated and relaxing. Elaine, the tailor who fixed my dress, made me feel comfortable and taken care of and her finished work was exquisite. Time was of the essence so she personally went to the garment district and picked out the dress liner and fixed the beading on the dress by hand - a project that took three full days. Prices were reasonable and the entire experience made me feel dignified again. THANK YOU. read more

Got a pair of pants hemmed. Very accommodating with turnaround time and quality of service!

This is my second time at alts and the service is unmatched. Tatiana my fitter was able to provide expert insight, and I am able to pick up my item in time for an event I plan to wear it for. read more

Diana and Alterations Specialists is a complete SCAM! They took my money when I dropped off your garnet then destroyed my $1000 gown! Diana said as I was leaving crying my money was being refunded, but instead I was contacted by an attorney for ALTS who wanted me to sign a document to not post a review about my negative experience. I am here to tell you. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CLOTHES HERE! This place only has good reviews because they refund people's money to not say negative things. This is a scam, with untrained tailors who destroy clothes permanently. I have included the letter that they requested I sign to "keep quiet" they have been offering these people to try and keep their reviews positive even though their work is horrible! read more

Amazing experience as always. Super friendly and efficient. Cannot say enough great things about this place!!

Lotta did an AMAZING job with my wedding dress!!! My dress was too big in the bust and she was able to bring the cup size down while keeping the dress' shape! She is very helpful and easy to work with and made me feel comfortable! Everyone there was very nice and answered all my (many) questions I would HIGHLY recommend Alteration Specialists!! read more
