Everything came out great! Tatiana is amazing and so sweet/trustworthy. Very talented!

They were able to alter my prom dress from the 90s for my daughter in the nick of time!! Can't wait to see it!!

Altina was my seamstress and she was outstanding. The service was excellent overall. I felt confident that everything - from hems to jackets- was being tailored well and in fashion. read more

Needed a gown for a wedding done the next day and they were extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely come back!

Altina is the best! I've been to her three times for alterations, for a wedding guest dress, graduation dress, and casual summer dresses - always altered to perfection! Highly recommend seeing the lovely Altina. read more

Alts made it easy to book a last minute appointment and accommodated a rush hem so that I could have pants fixed up in time for a vacation. They are polite and attentive -- definitely will be back for all tailoring needs! read more

Altina was very nice and helpful- was able to do a same day rush on a dress I needed for an event

Brides- DO NOT GO HERE. This location nearly destroyed my wedding dress. The incompetence and carelessness of the team here was truly appalling, not to mention the lack of responsiveness from management. I should have fled after my first appointment when Homa stepped on my very delicate lace train multiple times (I had to politely ask her to please not walk on my dress with her shoes to get her to even notice how careless she was being). At my second appointment, even though 2 months had gone by, barely any work had been done on it, and the dress looked disturbingly like it wasn't being carefully handled at all. At my third appointment-- supposedly the "final pickup" -- my dress looked awful. There was massive gaping under the arms, the straps were not fit to my body and were hanging off my back on the sides, and the entire dress was sitting crooked and was an inch off-center to my body. Everyone kept telling me how "beautiful" it looked, and that it was perfect and done, and when I would point out the glaring and specific issues they would say it was because of the dress or blame my body (!) for the issues. The dress also looked like it had been completely manhandled - the appliques on the bodice were fuzzy and roughed up, there were strings coming out of it everywhere, and the beading on one of my straps was stripped bare. I left and immediately asked that they stop all work on the dress and transfer it to Marva at the UES location. It took days for someone from management to actually respond to me, and even then I still had to follow up again to get them to transfer the dress, even though I was only 3 weeks out from my wedding and it was an urgent matter. Thankfully Marva at the Upper East Side location was able to salvage the shape of the dress so it was wearable, but unfortunately at my actual wedding I had issues with my dress all night. One of the cups kept popping out, my right strap kept falling down, my bustle kept coming out, and the same right strap that the UWS had destroyed the beading on completely broke during my reception so I couldn't even keep the dress up. I cannot fathom the good reviews of this place - if they handle a wedding gown so carelessly I shudder to think of their work on more every day items. When I was in there for one of my initial fittings, another customer was livid over expensive pants of his they had ruined, so I know my experience is not unique. I have been dismayed by my experience with the company overall. It took weeks for someone to actually call me on the phone to address my experience (and this only happened after I requested a refund), and that phone call started with an attempt to completely downplay and gaslight my experience. I paid nearly $1,000 for these alterations. I expected at a minimum that my dress would be tailored well to my body, and that it would be handled carefully enough to last through the night the one day of my life I was going to wear it. I followed up with the company again after my wedding telling them the dress broke, and it took weeks and me following up multiple times to even get a response, which was essentially that they have a "no refund policy," and that the only way they'd consider a full refund is if I took my google review down (which they then walked back on). They seem much more concerned with collecting exorbitant amounts of money from people rather than making sure they provide the quality work and positive customer experiences that the cost they charge should warrant. read more

Had an amazing experience here at Alts for a bridesmaid dress alteration. Everyone was so professional and skilled at their work. It was quick, easy and reliable. Just made an appointment online, super simple. read more

Altina was great! She gave me her expert suggestions for work on 2 wool coats. I highly recommend her services. Everyone else was very accommodating and helpful. read more

walked in, no appt, with 3 pairs of pants. they could not be nicer or more efficient. a lovely seamstress called Zade Gjuta helped me. It's hard to find a good tailor and Alts Uws fits the bill. read more

Alteration Specialists were professional and efficient. It was very easy to make an appointment and I was seen right on time. Esmeraldo Baret was my specialist tailor, and he was fantastic. He took time with me to make extremely careful alteration suggestions -- I had lost a lot of weight and my business suits needed significant adjusting. He had impeccable insight into what was needed and I can't wait to see the finished product. I highly recommend Alteration Specialist and Esmeraldo in particular. read more

Had a fantastic experience at this location. Everyone is so pleasant, accommodating and gives great customer service. You can tell that's really a priority of theirs. Phoebe was especially helpful with my scheduling needs. I will be sure to use them again. read more

I brought a pair of denim in for a hemming and they did a great job and completed in a timely fashion! Highly recommend.

Altina was so quick and professional. Love the attention to detail and I love the space!

I've used Alteration Specialists several times for alterations and I've had a wonderful experience each time. Altina in particular is so professional, lovely, talented, and really took her time to make sure my dresses would be perfect! I will be back again and highly recommend!! read more

Great experience with Sinai - highly recommend. Expertise for both Hemming and Taper.

Altina has been incredible with the alterations and ideas. Although pricey (read... VERY expensive), it's well worth it for your high end pieces. I trust them whole heartedly - they are on time, professional and have incredible workmanship. The professionals at the front desk are incredible helpful and accommodating! Highly recommend. read more

Excellent service and attention to details that manage to rescue some of my dresses that are hard to fix

amazing work. you pay for it tho - but it's worth it. they are kind, professional and their alterations are great.

I cannot say enough good things about Alteration Specialists- UWS- specifically Altina. Altina is the absolute best in the business- she handles my garments with care, and knows exactly what to do- everything fits perfectly once Altina is done with them. If I could give 100 stars I would- she is amazing! read more

As soon as I called Eunice was very helpful to my needs and the time sensitivity of my request. Altina was very helpful and attentive during my fitting and I know the alteration will come out great. Very professional and modern setting- unlike many tailors I've been to in the city. read more

The consultant was very knowledgeable and friendly! Very expensive though.

Altina is great! Incredibly nice and professional. The space is bright and clean -- and everyone who works here has been amazing.

Prompt service, easy to make an appointment. Friendly and excellent work.highly recommend!

I had my first appointment with Altina to have a gown tailored for a black tie wedding. She was very meticulous with the fitting and wanted to make sure the measurements were be flawless. She also asked me to come back once I receive my exact shoes so she could double check to make sure everything was perfect. The studio was cute and has a nice waiting area. I definitely would recommend coming here! read more

Wonderful staff, very nice and clean. Did a wonderful job with my fiancés suit and turned it around in one day. Came here for my rehersal dinner outfit because I trust them completely. read more

I have a small waist and wide hips/large butt, so finding well-fitting pants is usually hard for me. Altina understood the issue, anticipated the problems from certain solutions, and knew which adjustments would be best! read more

I would highly recommend Alteration Specialists! Everything from start to finish; booking, fitting and alterations was top notch! My fitter, Altina did an excellent job with several pieces I brought in ranging from evening gown, dresses and skirt. read more

I was expecting much more, given the number of 5 star reviews, but was disappointed in my experience here. I brought in a bridesmaid dress (right at my appointment time) and had to wait for 20+ min while the tailors attended to their regular customers, who came in after me. When she got to me, the tailor was nice and seemed experienced. I needed the top of the dress brought in (front and back) + the skirt hemmed + a layer of lining removed. I was quoted almost $400, which seemed outrageous, but the dress was already pinned and I needed to get it done quickly. When I went to pay, I was told that I could get a discount if I left a 5 star review, but it had to be right there, before I'd even seen their work, which is bizarre. I did end up getting a very small percentage off for being a first time customer, which is always a nice gesture. They hustled to get the alterations done in 7 days, which I appreciate, but when I went to pick up the dress, it wasn't ready. I had to come back a few hours later, right at closing time, to get it. I tried it on and although the top fit much better, the hem of the skirt was jagged and they hadn't removed the layer of lining. While I waited, they evened out the hem, but because I was running late, I asked if I could be refunded for the $120 I was charged for them to remove a layer of lining. I was told "no refunds" and they took the dress back, cut off the layer in 2 min, and handed it back to me. If I knew they were just going to quickly chop it off, I would have saved myself the $100+ and done it at home. They were obviously busy, understaffed, and rushing, but for $400, I expected quality work. On top of all of this, the employees at the front desk were not particularly nice or helpful any of the times I was there. I was overcharged for a bad experience, and will not be returning. read more

alteration specialists altered my wedding dress, rehearsal dinner dress and bridesmaids gowns and were excellent. they were insightful, I felt I could trust everything they recommended and am glad I did, and they were very patient with us. alterations came back in a promised time frame and I've happy recommended them to friends. read more
