I haven't received my clothes yet. So far, I can tell you the owner was there and he was very personable and seems to know what he's talking about. I've spent cash on alterations for two sport jackets and at least four pairs of pants. This was expensive for me but getting your clothes done by a professional always will be worth the money. I'm assuming that all is going well with these alterations but I won't know for two weeks. I wanted them to take their time to do it right. As soon as this is done, I will take my clothes to his recommended dry cleaners. Be aware that the hours here say they are open on Sunday. This is incorrect. The website doesn't have the latest updated schedule. Your best bet is to always call ahead of time if you are under a time crunch. In my case, I was called Friday and was told my clothes are ready. Unfortunately, I'm not anywhere near that area so I'm going to have to pick it up on Tuesday because Monday is a holiday. Planning ahead works for me, but many people wait until the last minute and alterations are one of those things you need time for. Other places may accommodate you, but I'm sure you won't get the same quality. Actually I just realized that this was sitting in my drafts waiting for me to finish my overdue evaluation. The clothes were done very well and they are still looking good. One pair of pants that are my favorite now look very well on me. I use them a lot. Can't find any faults with their alterations. I definitely will use them again even though they are pricey. You get what you pay for here no doubt about it. I've read the reviews about this establishment and all the negative comments are from people who don't understand work, quality, speed, & cost. read more

The work was sloppy. They didn't use the correctly-colored thread for the pants (see pics). They also pulled off too much of the thread up the pants (see pics). The cost to tailor 2 pants was $46. This was cash price. If you want to pay credit, it's additional 3% charge. It took them 1 week to tailor 2 pants. read more

My very first visit did it for me. Jorge really took care of me. I have a hat that I wanted 2 patches added to. I have taken it to two other local alterations shops and they both screwed it up. I brought it to Jorge. He asked me questions, double-checked my info, and gave me EXACTLY what I asked for! Veteran's and military personnel, this is a great place! This is my new alterations shop. read more

This isn't the original Angel's. The guy was rude, quoted me 45. on one item and 6. on another. On the ticket he e put 69. On the first item and 18. On the other. I also asked him 3 times to keep the scraps on the very expensive valance/curtain which he did not. Never again will I go back there. read more

I highly recommend this company! I needed a sportcoat altered in two days and they made it happen. The work was excellent and everyone there was super kind. They knew I needed the sportcoat to leave the country for a wedding and actually had it done in one day. A++++++ read more

Angela is a nice lady. But she didn't do what we agreed. We talk about how important this was to Me. About how I needed My Garments to be made on time. she said okay no problem. I'll have them ready for you by the time you need. It's been months past since I needed them done. STILL NOT COMPLETED. When I asked her Nicely why she didn't do what we agreed? She got mad and said I was being too picky about my stuff. She didn't care about what I wanted, she did what she wanted. And she's mad at me. About my Stuff I paid for. terrible attitude. Especially after I paid upfront, I had to leave my stuff there. I told her just to keep it. There's nothing that I can do with it. Because she didn't listen to what I even asked for I wasted my time I wasted my material I paid for, and I wasted my own hard-working money. She's not a very reliable person, especially when you put things on a deadline that you need them done by. read more

This tailor is NOT GOOD! They made my clothes too tight where I couldn't zip them up and then they had the audacity to tell me "we didn't do that" these people are a bunch of liars. They ended up fixing it but I still have to take my clothes to another tailor to get them to fit perfect. They offered to try again but dealing with them has been a nightmare. I see this business going under if the guy at the front desk remains. He's a disgusting liar and customer service here is a joke. Not worth the money either. RUN! read more

Angel was wonderful! Him and his team were able to tailor 2 of my bridesmaid dresses. The green dress was a floor length dress that we shortened and added cups. The black dress was shortened, cups added and closed the slit a bit. Very professional, fast service and great price! Will go back in the future! read more

Angel was super quick and had my tux jacket ready by the end of day. Super grateful for his effort and skill. Anyone looking to get tailoring done same day hit him up. Super affordable pricing as well. Thanks again!! read more

I took my wife's dress to Earnings Alterations to have the zipper replaced and paid extra for a rush job. Instead of replacing it, the owner claimed she "fixed" the existing zipper. Of course, it broke as soon as my wife tried it on. When I went back to ask for the job to be done properly, she blamed us--saying we only asked for a fix--even though we clearly paid for a new zipper and rush service. She was rude and completely unprofessional, but I still gave her a second chance. I left the dress with her again, and she told me to come back Friday. Later that same day, she told me she wasn't going to replace the zipper at all. When I showed up to pick up the dress, she had her son confront me--he got in my face, cursed at me, and even tried to fight me. Totally unacceptable behavior from a business. This place is unprofessional, hostile, and a nightmare to deal with. Avoid at all costs. read more

I came in with a very difficult ask. (Bridesmaid dress that fit WAY too small. Needed to let it out about 3 more sizes) Jorge welcomed on the challenge. After two try ons and having some extra fabric shipped in from another bridesmaid that had alterations cut off, we were able to get it right. Because the extra dress fabric was miniscule, Jorge was able to make it work. I am so grateful he was able to make this happen for me. No one noticed the extra fabric sown in around the zipper. Thank you Jorge!!! read more

Angel Custom Tailor - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tampa, Florida

First, let me start by saying I was respectful but did voice my dissatisfaction with the service and attitude of the proprietor. I believe a businesses success hinges on three principle; quality, service and a commitment to your customers needs/satisfaction. I guess one of three is all that matters to the proprietor. Reason: Late agreed delivery day of items to your customer and negative attitude towards a customer is not the way to conduct business. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS!!! Situation: They didn't provide the service on the agreed upon timeframe and when confronted, gave a negative combative attitude. If you say "I will have your garments ready for pick-up on a certain day" then they should be ready at the start of that day, especially after having the garments for well over a week. Service and a commitment to your customers needs/satisfaction were NEVER MET! If you can't honor your commitment and if for some reason an issue arises that you had an issue in delivering on time, express this with humbling attitude. Not a disrespectful attitude. Then maybe I wouldn't be writing this post expressing my dissatisfaction. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS AND WILL NOT BE RETURNING BASED ON THE AGREED UPON SERVICE NOT PROVIDED AS PROMISED AND THE ATTITUDE WHEN ASK WHY IT WASN'T! read more

I've been to a ridiculous amount of tailors, and it is so difficult to find someone that actually knows how to pin a suit. This is one of the first times that after leaving a tailor, I feel extremely confident that the final product will be perfect. Angel was professional, friendly, and very informative. It was standard pricing for the alterations and the turnaround time is pretty quick too. He also does custom suits too! I would definitely go here if you are looking for a tailor read more

Great customer service. Angel was extremely helpful and definitely know what she's doing. Very flexible and affordable!!! 10/10 recommend!

I wish I liked this tailor better because they were recommended by a friend. I've had four pieces tailored for me here and the quality is undeniably good. However, the communication is not good. Timelines were provided one out of three of my visits and price is never verbally discussed. Several numbers are written on a tag without indication of price. If communication were improved and prices more reasonable I would give 5 stars. Having the waist taken in on a pair of pants is between $40 and $50 in my experience. To have length taken off of a pair of pants, waist taken in on a pair of pants, arm length and waist on a blazer was $255.85. If these are standard prices with other tailors around Tampa I would suggest taking your business to another company with comparable quality and better customer service, or finding a more inexpensive tailor. read more

NEVER go to this tailor. The manager, Jorge, is an absolute monster. They forgot about my order twice; said it would be ready one day, I arrived then, it still wasn't ready, they told me to come back. I went back and it still wasn't ready. They offered me a mediocre discount. When I called to ask for more given the inconvenience, Jorge repeatedly yelled at me over the phone, without even giving me the chance to speak, demeaning and belittling me---and even hung up on me. An absolute nightmare. My family and I have been a client for over 15 years. They lost our family's business. If I could give zero, or even negative stars, I would. read more

I've been coming here for years and I cannot recommend it enough. Always fast and at a reasonable price. Angel has tailored everything from suits to jeans and it's always top notch. Very happy with the work every time. I always leave knowing that a great job has been done read more

Courteous and prompt service. The waiting room and dressing rooms are a bit messy and could use a good cleaning and updating. They have a good business but could benefit from better professional presentation, branding, and improving their customer service to call when there is a delay or when clothes are ready to pick up. The quality of workmanship was good. read more

I have had great experiences every time I've had them tailor my bridesmaid's dresses for weddings I've been in. They always finish in time and have saved the day for a wedding for me for a dress that didn't fit. Their work always looks great and is a reasonable price. Highly recommend using them. read more

Hands down, this is the best place for alterations. Beautiful tailoring, I came in with a dress what we cut out the standard zipper and make the back into a corset style, which suited the look of this garment to a tee. By the time the seamstresses were finished, I now own a dress that looks like it was custom made for me, and the corset style was crafted professionally and perfectly. Angel's, you have rightfully earned a loyal customer. read more

Jorge is THE BEST!! He fixed a pair of jeans that another "seamtress" made a mess of. They were in Clearwater. I knew better. However, I've known Jorge for many years. I made the trip to Tampa and it Was worth the time and patience. He made them look brand new. He is the best tailor I have ever seen!!! He can do anything. He is reliable and reasonable. Don't trust anyone else. Trust the best!!! Thank you Jorge!!! read more

Pricey & unfriendly. They charged $70 for a simple hem on one single-layer dress with no rush order. When I came to pick it up, I mentioned that I thought that was a bit pricy for a simple hem and the person at the front was extremely rude about it saying "well, I don't know what to tell you. I'm not changing the price now. You already knew how much it was" slamming things on the counter and rolling her eyes. I was not disputing the charge and was simply bummed that this simple job was so expensive because I have other items that need to be altered and would have brought them there otherwise. Furthermore, the owner called me after this and was also rude on the phone, unapologetic, and talking over me. Really poorly handled experience which could have otherwise been pleasant. I will not be returning and don't recommend them. read more

The most overpriced Tailor in the city. $210 for a suit coat that needed only sleeves shortened and sides taken in. This turned into a suppoesed 6 hour job requiring a collar moved and sleeves reassembled. This is price gouging at it's finest!!! read more

What a fantastic spot for tailoring and alterations! My Yelp friend Kelleigh M. recommended this place, and I'm very thankful for her advice. Angel and his wife have a small storefront on Kennedy Boulevard just to the west of Dale Mabry. They specialize in altering garments as well as made-from-scratch custom suits and dress shirts. I took in two pairs of dress slacks which needed to be hemmed, and Angel decided that I also needed the seat taken in as well as some extra fabric in the thighs -- basically he rebuilt these pants, and they turned out looking fantastic. They were ready in two days at a very reasonable cost for such outstanding work. This weekend I'm trying on all of my suits to see which ones will need some expert alterations from Angel. After that I'm anxious to check out some custom-made shirts. Yes, he's that good -- and that is why many of the better menswear stores in town recommend his tailoring work. read more

Angel Custom Tailor - Angel Custom Tailors along Kennedy Blvd. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I needed the shoulders narrowed on three jackets. This is a very difficult tailoring task, which I understand most tailors can't do. The result was excellent. Thanks to Jorge, I was able to salvage about $4,000 worth of clothing, that otherwise would have been donated. read more

I have to strongly disagree with the negative reviews left here. I needed a new suit to be finished and altered in 24  hours. From the moment I walked in, to when I received the final product, I was taken back by how knowledgeable and accommodating Jorge and his staff where. They treated me with respect, understanding, and professionalism. To say that Jorge has experience in his craft would be an understatement. I have bought suits and had them fitted by other tailors. No one has ever been able to figure out why my jackets wrinkle and pucker. Also given my small waist and forward facing shoulders, I never felt like my suits fell how I wished. Before I could tell him this, to my surprise, he noticed that my left shoulder was higher than the other. He raised the shoulder pad on the opposite shoulder and in seconds fixed what had been bugging me about my suits for years! It is obvious he has decades of experience and an intimate expert knowledge of his craft. I do not have a model's body, but now I have a suit that looks like it was from a magazine. Regarding price, you get what you pay for! I did pay more than I have in the past. However, it was delicate work expertly done in one day. The total was a miniscule amount of money compared to how much I spent on the suit. Why anyone would complain about paying 10-15% of the price of an item to get it custom fitted is beyond me. My time table was short because the corporate retail store tailor took weeks to get my item completed. When I got it back, it looked like I was wearing a wet diaper under my trousers. Yes, others can be cheaper. But I have to say, would you rather pay a bit more money or potentially end up with something like that? I am extremely grateful and will never take my business to any other shop in town. If you don't believe me look at the pictures I have attached. read more

I LOVE this tailor!!! Ladies and Gents, getting tired of your hems being too short after you specifically said "cuff to the floor"? Look no farther, this IS the best tailor in Tampa!! I have tried so many different places in the Tampa Bay area in the past six years or so - business suits, fine silk dresses, you name it, Angel has altered it. Since my first visit, I've never gone anywhere else. Originally referred to us by Saks 5th Avenue in Westshore Plaza, they have never let me down. They can do ANYTHING !!!! And, they are such nice, professional people. I have never felt more comfortable or trusting of my most prized pieces of clothing. If only they would dry clean!!! That would make my world complete!! They altered my wedding dress, perfect fit to the tee. They completely re-built the back of my dress and it was breathtaking. Cutting it low to show my back, I was completely blown away by their technique - it looked flawless. Honestly, try them and you will fall in love too. read more

This is my "go to" tailor for all of my clothes! I've never been disappointed - NEVER! I've had dresses, pants and even winter coats altered here. Today I was there to see what he could do for a dress I picked up at David's Bridal. They wanted to charge me an arm and a leg for a hem, removal of some iridescent beads (yuck) and taking the shoulders in. I was able to save some $$ and can get the dress back in 2 weeks not 6 weeks! SCORE read more

Great service and fantastic work.... on time will recommend him came exactly as I want

I have been coming here for over 10 years. When Angel was the owner, he was the best! Unfortunately, the new owner is terrible. He is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. I had a simple cotton dress hemmed and the straps taken up. I was charged $50 for the alterations. I thought that was extremely high and asked the owner if that was correct. He was obviously offended and said it was a fair price. I disagreed and stated I've been a customer for over a decade and have never paid that much. I told him he would lose my business in the future if he wasn't willing to come to a compromise. He said fine, don't come back and hung up on me. To top it off, when I got home and tried the dress on, and noticed the hem on the dress was not straight and it had been cut too short. When I called the store to explain how my alternations had been messed up, he told me to stop calling!! The owner is a terrible man. I would never recommend this place. read more

Essentially, my brand new pants were ruined. I went in the have them hemmed, but wanted to keep the design element at the bottom. Although there was going to be an unusual hem line, per the seamstress, I was ok with that because of the print. Upon return to pickup, the design was removed; almost completely. When a call was made to the seamstress that took the measurements, she said, and I quote "I forgot to write it down." The gentleman then offered to fix them, but there's no way that I was leaving them to be destroyed further. Additionally, the dress that I brought in the have darts removed from the bust were NOT removed. Again, they offered to fix, but why would I have to return for something that should have been noted appropriately the first time. Lastly, my $83 total was only reduced to $55. I could have caused a stink for that, but I'm a black woman and didn't want unnecessary hassle with this business attempting to claim nonpayment. Patronize at your own risk. read more

Every item I have brought in has been repaired perfectly. Jeans, suits, zippers. Amazing shop!

first time in Tampa and I needed alternation to my suit and angel custom tailor hook me up me. great service very professiona.

It pains me to write this review as I have been going to Angel's for over a year now, and the craftsmanship of the seamstresses is very good, however the lack of professionalism, customer service, and overall respect shown by the owner during the wedding dress alterations for my wife were such that I felt compelled to share my feedback. Throughout the three fittings that my wife had, the owner was abrasive, arrogant, and disrespectful...so much so in fact that my wife came home in tears on 2/3 occasions. For context, my wife is a small business owner herself who is extremely confident, respectful, and non-dramatic...so to see her in this state was quite a shock. One example - the seamstress doesn't speak very good english, and based on their interactions, my wife was concerned that the owner was not properly relaying her feedback to her. So she ended up bringing friend who also spoke Spanish to ensure her feedback was being properly conveyed. This seemed to upset the owner who proceeded to berate my wife, my wife's mother and her friend. When I confronted the owner during the next fitting, he immediately changed his disposition, and it was clear he treats men much differently then he treats women, which is disturbing for a number of reasons as you can imagine. One shouldn't have to worry about their significant other being treated fairly and respectfully just because they're not there. This is supposed to be an enjoyable and memorable experience, and when you're spending upwards of $1K on alterations you would expect the highest level of service. Again, I find this hard to write because the seamstresses are very talented, but there is no way I could recommend the use of Angel's services to anyone. There are plenty of other tailors in town who will provide equal quality of work with a much better customer experience. read more

I have gone here for years but no more. I believe it changed ownership about a year ago. Recently, dress straps were taken up wayyy too high and now the dress is unwearable. I didn't complain and paid for it anyway. But I brought a pair of jeans in twice and asked for the stitching to be modified around the button. The first time I got them back, the stitching was put on the opposite side from what I requested. I brought them back in, the owner argued with me about it but said they would do what I asked. But that's not what they did. They added MORE stitching to the opposite side of the button so that the button would not even fit into the hole! And to top it all off, they took THREE weeks to "fix" them. Absolutely insane. Will be finding a new tailor who will do what is requested. read more
