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

They fit me in last minute for a tuxedo fitting and did an excellent job! They made what could have been stressful very easy! They were accommodating, helped me understand what looked and felt good. Atef is a miracle worker. He's both professional and friendly at the same time. It's like being with a favorite uncle who claims you as his favorite nephew. My partner has been going here for YEARS and the end product is always flawless. I'll be coming here every time I need something altered. Thank you!!!!! read more

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

THE BEST PLACE FOR ALL THINGS BRIDAL! LOTTA IS AN ANGEL! I had truly the best experience at the SoHo location of Alts with my alteration angel Lotta. Lotta made me not 1 but 3 different outfits for my wedding weekend which became some of the most special details of my whole wedding. Lotta could not have been sweeter or more talented. She has such an incredible eye for design & was so amazing handling the family heirlooms which we reworked into incredible modern pieces. We reworked my mom's rehearsal dinner suit (made the top fit correctly & turned it from a top & skirt to a top & pants to fit my style & measurements), used pieces of my mom & MIL's wedding dresses to make a new family heirloom robe (which I wore while getting ready the morning of my wedding) AND my mom's wedding dress which we turned into my second look. My mom & I were both overjoyed at how these alterations paid homage to her. It was so special & exceeded even my highest expectations. Lotta's attention to detail, kindness & just unbelievable talent blew everyone away. Thank you Lotta!! read more

See all

There is no one I trust like alteration specialists! Their team of experts does a phenomenal job of tailoring my favorite pieces seamlessly. Worth every penny! I even trusted them with my wedding dress and they did the best job. Diana is attentive and detail oriented - their team is the best! read more

Careful tailor with good judgment and taste! The place to come for expert tailoring in a pristine environment.

Super nice and helpful, accommodated a last minute expedited alteration on my jeans, and I'm very thankful!

I just had an amazing experience with the staff. They are very professional and their customer service is not 5, but 10*. Dhurata was vey patient and made sure the dress will be exactly on my taste and measurements. I can't wait to pick up my dress and come back in the future. Thank you!!! read more

Yaser was absolutely wonderful!!! He delivered excellent results with a quick turn sound. Service was excellent and very convenient! Highly recommend!! read more

Diana did such an amazing job with my wedding dress! She listened to my feedback about elements I wanted to keep that might otherwise be lost with tailoring, and was really patient with me as she explained different concepts like bustling and cups. I will also say, I was SURE my bustle would not last the night - my dress was heavy and all my friends before me ended up having to resort to safety pins midway through their weddings. Not mine! Stayed secure all night which was such a relief. The price can be a bit shocking at first, but the quality is there both in the time spent and finished product. Highly recommend Alteration Specialists, and especially Diana for your wedding alterations! read more

Altina is the best!!! I am so grateful for her help. She was so thoughtful and thorough and I knew I was in good hands!

Diana is a DREAM!!! Once she started alterations I LOVED MY DRESS!!!!! She is so knowledgeable and all the staff are so kind and personable! Extremely flexible and easy to work with. I recommend them for your bridal needs! I seriously leave with no worries and trust them to do right by me and the dress. And THEY DELIVER! Thank you Diana!! read more

Diana is wonderful! I found a beautiful dress at a sample sale that needed a lot of work. Diana helped me figure out what changes to make and it turned out perfect. The whole alterations experience was easy and Diana even made fun. read more

I rarely post reviews but Liam at reception and Diana, my tailor, were so helpful and delivered such great work. I had a lehenga for a wedding with some complicated tailoring on gauze, sequins - letting out the skirt, pulling material from the veil to cover it - and Diana did such an excellent job widening the waist by a full 2 inches, that you couldn't tell it was tailored at all. They also did a great job bringing the waist and seams in on leather pants. I've already returned with two more wedding gowns and will continue to use this location for future tailoring! read more

I had to completely retailor a high end jacket that was twice my size. The folks at alteration specialists did an excellent and professional job and made sure I was satisfied with the end result. Ask for Yaser he is the best! read more

Beautiful studio with easy booking for simple and complex alterations -- friendly, on time and quick perfect service from Yaser!

Had such a great experience with Diana fitting me for 2 bridesmaid dresses! Felt faint at some point and she was great sat me down and gave me lots of water. Will be coming again read more

I was on my way to an event nearby when I realized a side seam had torn in what I was wearing - I showed up in a bit of a panic and they fixed the tear in 30 seconds while I waited. Very grateful! read more

5 star customer service! They repaired my ripped seam in 2 minutes a as a walk in. Amazing space as well!!

I've had lots done here and Atef has always been great! From suits to jeans, I've always been really happy with his advice and with the end product! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Alteration Specialists! Because of COVID, I didn't have the traditional shopping experience to get my wedding dress and opted to buy one online. The dress came in a bit too long and had a slight neckline issue, so I booked an appointment with Alteration Specialists. My mom and I got there about 20 minutes early, but when I called asking if we could come up and wait, they said to come up right away and could take us early. The staff was so friendly and kind. The studio is clean, great views, and has a very comfortable and relaxed feel, nothing pretentious or overly stuffy. I hadn't booked with a specific staff member, but was so lucky to have Matt (head of bridal) work with me. He listened to what I was hoping to change about the dress and immediately got to work with pinning. He was so friendly and made our appointment so enjoyable. When I went to check out, Matt had decided not to charge me for the neckline adjustment, which was a really nice surprise. My dress will be ready in about a month and I cannot wait to try it on again. I left the studio on Cloud 9 and so happy and excited to get married. Thank you Matt and the Alteration Specialist team for a great experience! read more

They provided great service. I will definitely be coming back. Good value for the service.

Have come here several times for pants, blazers, suite, and jackets. Everything from simple hemming to shortening jackets from the shoulder to having pants reconstructed has been handled perfectly. Would highly recommend for reliable and consistent service read more

BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! God bless Alteration Specialists SoHo! I got a bridesmaid dress altered here and had a wonderful experience. The location is beautiful and the people are great. I went to go pick up my dress on Sunday and realized they were closed Sunday and Monday. The flight to the wedding is Tuesday at 7 am and I was full-blown panicked I was going to ruin this wedding because I didn't get my dress. I emailed and DM'd them on Instagram and someone texted me saying they would open the store for me today (Monday) just so I could get the Bridesmaid dress in time. They saved the day and I am forever grateful!!! I will only use them moving forward. Thank you so much for being kind about my ridiculously stupid mistake! Lesson learned! read more

Really sweet and did my dress on time, but not at all what I asked for. I showed the tailor exactly where I needed the alterations and they just didn't take out the amount of fabric that I asked for. Over $300 later and I still had to to pin the dress the day of to fit. Don't recommend. read more

Humberto did a great job quickly tailoring my wedding dress (as in less than 2 weeks altering a 6 layer fitted dress). Also a beautiful space with nice view if you have any guests with you. It's a little expensive but I think worthwhile. read more

Atef Wahba is an incredible tailor, I've always had an amazing experience with him. 120% recommend for any type of garment!!

This is the place for all the future brides who are looking for alterations. I was so happy to have found this place. Diana was super helpful during the whole alterations journey and made me feel at ease during every appointment. I'm very pleased with how the wedding dress turned out - made a beautiful dress into something that is even more special and dreamy! read more

I had a leather jacket tailored by Atef. The sleeves were too long and he was able to hem them perfectly. He also hemmed some jeans for me and they turned out great. Outstanding place! read more

I was a Covid bride and began alterations 18 months ago. In that time our wedding was rescheduled 3 times and I had a baby. Myrna was able to do wonders with my original wedding dress. My wedding was 4 months after welcoming our little one and I wasn't able to get back to my original size but Myrna made it work through her amazing creativity and skill. She basically took the dress apart and remade it and on a rush (3 weeks)! I ended up liking the dress more than the original and you would never have known it was altered so drastically. I'd highly recommend Myrna for any complex dresses alterations! read more

Today I went to the Alteration Specialists in Soho and they were amazing!!! The costumer service was great and although they were very busy they made time to fit me in and fix my birthday dress In time for my dinner!! Diana was the lovely lady who fixed my dress for me and she was quick and efficient making my dress look brand new!! Definitely recommend. read more

Atef is amazing. I have been getting my dress pants altered with him at this location for the last few years. Always extremely precise, courteous, with excellent quality in his alterations. I would recommend Alteration Specialists and Atef in a heartbeat! read more

I was stressed about finding a same-day tailor to do a quick fix after I got off work. I called ahead and was welcomed to stop by at 6pm. The space is gorgeous and well-lit, perfect lighting for getting alterations. The staff was super helpful and friendly, and they did my fix on the spot and on the house -- far better service than I could have expected! Thanks so much for saving me! I'll def be back for future alterations! read more

While I trust Alteration Specialists to always do a great job, it goes without saying that their pricing has gotten out of control! It feels as though they are stealing from customers with the pricing they are asking for, no matter how amazing their seamstresses might be. For a short dress, the exact alterations at one of the best bridal boutiques on the UES cost ($350) less than half of what they are charging at Alteration Specialists ($880) for the same job! I was also hit with an additional "service fee" in SoHo on top of the exorbitant alteration pricing during my last visit, which they said was standard but that I have never been charged at any of the other locations before. The prices are way way way too high and I hope this is reevaluated and brought down to what is fair for the sake of all Alteration Specialists clients moving forward! read more

Atef was great! I needed a super quick turnaround on a new suit and tuxedo and he took care of everything. Don't look anywhere else, he's a master! read more

Great experience working with Atef! Easy to make appointment online, was seen immediately. Atef was very knowledgeable and explained all options to make sure I was comfortable with the result and cost. Would absolutely recommend! read more

Just picked up my wedding dress and couldn't be happier! I brought my mother's old 80s wedding dress in, and Matt made the most beautiful new dress for me out of the old fabric. He was able to recreate the exact look I wanted. Every fitting was a joy as he and Lawrence were great to work with. Can't recommend them enough! read more

STAY FAR AWAY and DO NOT TRUST this place. I came in 2 weeks ago for a dress alteration that was rushed for my brothers wedding in Italy. It was promised to be ready on a specific date and I paid a hefty fee for rush. When I called the day off to pick it up after not receiving a email notification, they assured me it was there and ready for pick up. I showed up and my dress was no where to be found. Not only did they lie to me that it was ready for pick up, they continuously lied to me about it being in an Uber downstairs after waiting an hour and a half. I am now heading to Italy with no dress, and a wasted 450$ that I paid just for the alterations and rush fee---forgetting the cost of the actual dress. I am completely devastated and after all of this, they could not even give me a managers phone number. Just an email address. They also couldn't give me the rest of the items back that I gave to them at my initial appointment that were not for rush. I am extremely disappointed on how poorly this situation was handled. The girls at the Crosby office could not even get in contact with a manager to help solve the problem. I was told I may hopefully get an email tomorrow. I am now heading to my brothers wedding in Italy with no dress, and no refund for the $ I paid to alternations specialist. They talk a great talk, and give you discounts to write a review but I am serious in that DO NOT GO HERE. DO NOT TRUST THEM. I am devastated and would steer anyone and everyone away from this place. read more

Brought my wedding dress here. The staff were very attentive and helpful. Diana gave honest feedback on how best to fit the dress and what bustling would look best. I'm very happy with the results. Cons: during my second fitting, I noticed the skirt of my dress was very dirty and had pencil markings. When I asked the tailor (not Diana), she denied that it came from their shop, rubbing the white skirt on the floor saying, "look our floors are clean," only to reveal more dirt picked up on my dress. Given that I only wore the dress at this shop, and paid over $900 to alter this dress, I was very disappointed. Finally, when picking up my dress, I felt very pressured to leave a review while three staff members hovered over me, even asking me to confirm it had posted before I left. Makes me think some of the 5-star reviews are disingenuous read more

I had 2 wedding dresses that needed tailoring. Based partly on the positive existing yelp reviews, I chose Alteration Specialists - SoHo and am pleased to add to their positive reviews! Latta, the tailor, was exemplary. I couldn't be more pleased with the results and highly recommend Latta for all bridal needs. She listens to goals and desires fits and results, and wow is she skilled! The soho location itself was clean, organized, always on time and ready to go for appointments, easy to get ahold of, and let me come back for 3 fittings, because of course everything needs to be perfect when you're a bride. 10/10 would recommend and will come again read more
