Adelina is the absolute best! Excellence resides in her - she could do no less! I initially met Adelina a few years back when she repaired swim trunks and a hoodie for my nephew, Matt. You could not even tell the items were repaired - they looked brand new! More recently, Matt needed a suit adjusted - the suit jacket was tight in the shoulder area and across the back so he asked for it to be let out. To our surprise, Adelina shared and demonstrated that the shoulders hung too low and the suit jacked actually needed to be taken in to correct the problem. We were both skeptical because taking in the suit to make it feel looser seemed counter-intuitive to us. Sure enough, upon our return the suit jacket fit perfectly and was very comfortable-the desired goal was met! She knew exactly what needed to be done! She also took in the sleeves on the jacket, raised the jacket hem and took in the pant legs - all of which gave him a much improved fit and look - he's a GQ kind of man now! My nephew who is on the quiet side even expressed how talented and impressed he was with her expertise, knowledge and craftsmanship! She is passionate about her work and it shows! I highly recommend Adelina for all your tailoring needs! Char C. PS. My nephew lives in St. Louis and she accommodated us by opening her shop for us over the Christmas holiday and then opening her shop early one Saturday for the final fitting! She goes above and beyond to meet her clients needs! read more

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU JUST WANT AN ALTERATION! As soon as I tried on my prom dress, she instantly went ahead and mentioned a few changes that could be made to my dress. Although I only wanted the bottom of my dress to be altered, I still agreed with the changes that could be made to the dress. However I did not agree after when she mentioned the total would be $500 dollars. I had to tell her no on the other changes since I only wanted the bottom to be fixed. She had no problem getting rid of the pins and to only focus on the bottom. But then that's when the service shifted. A few weeks later, I came back to pick up my prom dress and I tried it on. As soon as I put the dress on, she immediately said "I told you" as she points to the top of my dress, suggesting that it should be fixed from the top. I felt completely comfortable with my dress, but as she was making those kinds of comments, it felt like she wanted me to hate my dress. I still said no to the adjustments even though she kept wanting to convince me to. She charged me 130 in the beginning but ended up charging 150 on small changes WHEN I DIDNT ASK FOR IT. read more

Adelina is amazing at what she does. I've gotten multiple suits done here over the years (some of which she basically rebuilt). They fit me perfectly and I look awesome in them. Worth every penny. read more

My wife needed a dress altered for a same day event. We called and Adelina was able to take her in immediately. Not only did she complete the alteration (needed to adjust the hip area of the dress), she even steamed and pressed it! Adelina is a sweet person with not only an amazing talent, but a huge caring heart! read more

I had a shrug that I needed a few hooks put in to hold it closed . The taylor didn't have the right closures, so I had to purchase them myself . She charged me $80 to sew in 4 hook closures . It was almost as much as the cost of the item. She also charged me a $20 rush fee , when I told her I didn't need it for 3 weeks . I feel very disappointed , taken advantage of , and would not recommend. read more

Brought a bridesmaid dress in for alterations with a 3-week lead time before the wedding so would be a little bit of a rush. The consultation went well and I felt comfortable with the suggestions - those were the positives. We went through all of the pricing before I left where I was given a breakdown of cost and it was going to be around $260 which already seemed high, but I approved as the work needed to be done. I called today to check on the dress and confirm the price so I knew exactly what to bring and was then informed it was going to be double than initially quoted because they had to "do more." No one ever called me to approve additional alterations and I would NEVER have approved $500 worth of them for a $125 bridesmaid dress. What a scam ... read more

This owner/tailor is a complete scam artist. She totally took advantage of my son who new nothing about getting suits or sport coats altered. Since she came recommended from a friend, with great hesitation he paid her the money she requested. My son stressed SEVERAL times to her that he only paid $120 for the sport coat and would like minimum alternations. She pressed hard on insisting it needed a ton of work and proceeded to charge him $450.00 for alterations for the $120.00 sport coat. He kept advising her "but I only paid $120.00 for the sport coat" Regarding his suit, she did not give him an itemized breakdown of her pricing for specific alterations and charged him another $600.00 of alternations for an $800.00 suit. In total she charged him over $1,000 and then she had the nerve to tac on another $120.00 for a rush fee. Needless to say we still do not have the sport coat back. When I called her to ask for the sport jacket back and the money for the item she stated she already started work on it. That was 2 weeks ago and we still don't have the sport jacket. When I called to confront her on all of the above and ask for an itemized breakdown, the only thing she could say was "I spent a lot of time on the items". REALLY $1000 worth for a suit and sport jacket!!!!! Her final response was "I'll hem a pair of jeans for you next time at no charge". THIS LADY IS COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE!!! read more

AZ Tailoring was amazing with my wedding dress alterations. They worked with my timeline which was much appreciated being a bride during the pandemic.

These folks took a suit that was good to begin with and made it spectacular!

I don't usually write reviews, but felt I needed to express how grateful I am to Adelina for her amazing work and quick turn-around. A familiy emergency required that we needed to plan our wedding quickly, and Adelina was able to squeeze me into her schedule and get my wedding dress done in time. Thank you so much! read more

I took in a new jacket with a complicated zipper that had broken. She replaced the zipper and you cannot tell it was just put in. The cost of the zipper was very reasonable and about a third of the cost of a new jacket! She also added trim to my Euro shams. Again the cost was reasonable, and the end product was beautiful! I highly recommend AZ Tailoring for all your needs! read more

Adelina couldn't have been nicer. She was so wonderful with my daughter, helping her look her best for prom.

Adelina is absolutely amazing. She refitted my suit in a very timely matter at a time that really did not allow. She is so easy to work with and such a great person. I highly recommend AZ Tailoring and especially Adelina. read more

Horrible. Charged me 340.00 for a $120 dress- and she did so because she knew that we had a wedding coming up. This woman will hose you if she knows you're in a hurry (prom / wedding). The workmanship is decent, but she is a highway robber. 340 for dress alterations I am furious. But the best payback is for you to know that her prices are awful. I hope that she goes out of business. read more

Adelina was great. My daughters dress was too long and we needed a place that could do it in a day. She was speedy and very helpful. She even showed us the perfect way to tie the top so that it wasn't too tight on the neck. My daughter was very happy with how the dress turned out. Thank you Adelina you are very kind. read more

AZ Tailoring was amazing!!! Adelina is darling. She's extremely skilled and so pleasant to work with. She made every blouse, jumpsuit, and pair of jeans look wonderful on me.

I cannot stress how great of a service AZ Tailoring provided. I came in with a full three-piece suit that needed tailoring on a very quick turnaround. Not only did Adelina make the timing work (even around a holiday), but the suit came out better than I ever imagined possible. It looked like a brand new, fully custom suit. I cannot recommend her work enough and I know I'll be back for any tailoring in the future and will always recommend to friends and family. read more

I was shocked at how much my wedding dress alterations would cost and decided to take it somewhere else for another quote. Adelina charged me for "consultation" fees, which she never mentioned when I first called to inquire. She charged me $40, and now reading the review below, she charged another loss client only $20. Shady lady. read more

This was my first time using AZ Tailoring and I am now going to be a customer for life. I bought a 3 piece suit a few years ago and the store I bought it from "tailored" it but didn't actually listen to what I wanted so it never really fit right. I found AZ Tailoring on google and tried them out. First of all, you would be hard pressed to find a shop owner nowadays who is not only as friendly as Adelina, but also who takes as much pride in their work as she does. Within minutes of meeting her I felt like I had known her for years. She goes above and beyond for her customers. I told her I wasn't sure when I could make it to come in for her to mark the suit up and she actually stayed after closing and waited for me so that we could get it done. On top of all that I picked up my suit today and it fits perfectly! It looks exactly how I envisioned it when I bought it. I will never go anywhere else from now on. I highly recommend going to Adelina for any tailoring needs. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Adelina at AZ Tailoring for my wedding dress alterations!! The dress I had purchased was several sizes too large and she altered it to fit me perfectly. She even stayed late to try various bustle options and eased my concerns every step of the way! My mom had her Mother of the Bride dress altered here and had a wonderful experience as well. I felt great in my dress on my wedding day! :) read more

I got my suit tailored here before going to a conference. Adelina really listened to what I wanted, and it fits like a *glove* and looks so sharp. Quality work. I couldn't be happier! read more

OVERCHARGED! I went in to have a dress hemmed. Instead of a professional hem, it was done on the machine. Not a great look for a formal dress. Then the person who help us tacked the straps down. Would you pay $90 for that? So unbelievable disappointed. Never again read more

The AZ Tailoring team is phenomenal. I travel often for work creating a big need for tailored clothing and have struggled in the past to find quality work at quality prices. The AZ team provides just, and i couldn't be happier to have a go-to trusted tailor. read more

I was considering purchasing draperies for a large living room window. My choice was custom or already made, which would need to be shortened. I called AZ and spoke with Adelina. She is very knowledgeable and capable. I went ahead with the purchase of standard draperies and had the alterations completed at AZ. I now have beautiful draperies that look custom made at half the price! read more

Adelina is the best! She really knows her stuff and for someone like me who does not wear a lot of suits, I was not too sure about what kind of alterations I should make but she made some really great suggestions that completely changed the way the suit looks on me. She is super friendly too. Highly recommended! read more

I went here to get my wedding dress altered as it was recommended from the bridal salon I bought my dress. It turned out to be super expensive and they couldn't even fix the top of my dress.
