For example, she noticed that my bustle would look much much better if it came in from both sides (to form a little bow like area). Mrs Lam also moved the location of the bustles higher so that the length of the dress could sit lower when bustled, and could remain long without needing to be shortened; she later added two little bows to make the bustle easier to pull back and hide. In the front, Mrs Lam made the length perfect, so that it remained long, but I could move around freely. Every time someone saw me in the dress they would say, "WOW!" I felt in very good hands with Mrs Lam and that she contributed greatly to making my wedding experience aesthetically pleasing and physically comfortable. I recommend Mrs Lam unreservedly and am so grateful for her beautiful work!

I bought my tuxedo for my wedding at a fancy-pants made to order website based out of NYC. They had my measurements, and all was set for the perfect tux. Well, when it finally arrived, it looked like someone had painted it on to my body. I could hardly breathe, let alone anticipate moving around or enjoying myself. Thankfully I came across Chris' website- "Stephen The Tailor". I quickly booked an appointment. Chris was kind, funny, and welcoming to me and my (now) wife. He put us both at ease, helping navigate all that needed to happen. Neither one of us imagined that the suit that was delivered would be salvaged. Chris, must have taken every stitch out of this three piece to reconstruct the perfect tuxedo for me. I still cannot identify what he retooled. Easily the mark of a true craftsman and expert tailor. The photos speak for themselves. It was the perfect outfit for the perfect day. The dry cleaning alone was flawless (my wife was wishing that's where she took her dress prior to our wedding)! Needless to say, I'm all in with this shop. They get the good dry cleaning, and Chris is hired to make all of my future suits! That's right, he's a bespoke suit maker, too. If only I had come to him first... he could have easily crafted this outfit- Jacket, shirt, vest... all of it. Save yourself the headache. Go see Chris. He's the only person I will be seeing moving forward! Thank you Chris!! You're a true hero to us both!!

Their alterations are terrible & super off - I had to go back a couple of times because they did not stick to the original measurements. So yeah, you pay a lot of money for custom suit that doesn't even fit well. Their old stylist basically created the whole suit for me - I only picked the suit color. Turns out a few days before my wedding, I found out that their inside linings basically made my whole suit and pants see through! Yes, you can see the boxer and everything... When I asked online customer service to do alterations, they said no because it passed the 30 days warranty. So if you want to pay a lot of money for ill-fitted & see-through suits, do pay them a visit!

If you like getting f*cked over, this is the place for you…read more Otherwise, avoid this place. There are plenty of other GOOD local options for made-to-measure men's clothing in this price range. Or if you're adventurous and want to give them a try anyway, then start with a small order, like I did. I first placed an order for one (1) shirt, and it took three tries--over about one (1) YEAR--before I had a somewhat reasonable fitting m2m shirt. I then placed a slightly larger order for three (3) shirts, with further adjustments over my prior order--so that these three (3) shirts would fit properly (ha!). Instead, hilarity ensued over many, many iterations of reworks. Luckily the four (4) total shirts that I ordered--and have since donated to charity--didn't cost too much. Had I placed a larger order, I would have been more upset. Instead, I got a lesson that if you don't want this company to bend you over and have their way with you, it's best to not give them money in the first place--or start with small orders so you know into what mess you're getting. Long story short: don't buy from these shysters, but if you really have an itch to get f*cked over, start with purchasing one (1) made-to-measure shirt--so you know what kind of cheap merchandise and hellish customer service you'll get AFTER they get your payment.

Upon discovering the…read morestitching on the arm sleeve of my suit jacket coming undone, which caused a noticeable crease, I brought it in for repair. Additionally, the stitching at the cuff where the buttons are was also unraveling. Given the stellar reviews, I believed I was entrusting my jacket to a professional of high repute, rather than a standard dry cleaner tailor. When I visited his shop to highlight the issues, the owner/tailor mentioned that the jacket was asymmetrical around the torso, which was evident upon inspection. He quoted $200 for the repairs, which I considered steep but somewhat justifiable for his supposed "expertise." However, upon returning to collect my jacket a week later, I was met with immediate disappointment. The crease in the arm sleeve remained, and the cuff was still undone. When I pointed this out, he defensively claimed that he had only worked on the torso's symmetry, as indicated on the receipt. He demanded an additional $100 to fix the sleeve, despite initially agreeing to address all the issues. His broken English and evasive explanations made the situation even more frustrating. It became clear to me that this tailor intended to exploit the situation, attempting to extract as much money from me as possible. Despite my attempts to have him honor our original agreement, he insisted on additional charges. Frustrated and feeling deceived, I paid the $200 but left deeply unsatisfied. This tailor is not a man of his word. His underhanded tactics and lack of integrity are appalling. I strongly urge you to seek your alteration needs elsewhere and avoid falling victim to his deceitful practices. I will attach a copy of my receipt to corroborate my account, clearly showing that he circled "Armhole: Enlarge," which means he did work on the armhole but now claims it would need to be redone and repositioned to remove the crease. Additionally, and once more, there was an absolutely egregious crease in the sleeve for him to ignore and up-charge me.

The first time I went to Barr Cleaners was because another dry cleaner damaged my dress and I…read morewanted to see if Barr could fix it. Not only was the woman behind the counter so friendly and polite, she was helpful. A few days later, she showed me the dress, and it looked fixed. When I arrived home to try it on, I could tell she did wonders. While the price I paid in the end was not the one she initially quoted, I was ok with paying slightly more as it involved fixing the hem and pleats of the bottom half of a dress as well as potentially adjusting the side seams where the pockets were. Additionally, she did caveat that she might not be able to fix the dress so I appreciated her upfront-ness. And so for the last two months, I have trekked to Farragut Square, greeting the folks behind the front desk and walking into the quaint space that is Barr Cleaners where the woman greets me by name and asks when I need my items. She is always flexible and can turn the items around within a day or two, if it's not a lot. Most of the times, I tell her she can take her time, and even still, it's only a couple of days, and I'm ok with that. The most recent dress I brought in clearly showed wear, and when I asked if she could take care of it, she smiled and said in her cute way, "No problem." Prices are a little pricey, but the service is worth it in my opinion.

July 9, 2026 I hate leaving bad reviews so much that I…read moreactually go back and delete them at later dates to not jeopardize anyone's livelihood or reputation, but this one will, hopefully, be immortalized. The first thing you need to know is that this establishment does not have a standardized list of services or prices anywhere online or in their shop. I first went to them on June 22 to have five dresses dry cleaned (quoted $79.45), one blazer dry cleaned and shortened (quoted $52.95), and one dress' zipper repaired as well as have it dry cleaned (quoted $52.99 or $29.99 depending on if the existing zipper was salvageable or needed to be replaced). The prices seemed a bit steep to me, so I told the woman at the desk, Eden, that I would shop around for a cleaner and maybe return. I decided that paying for convenience was worth it and returned on July 8 due to Barr's close proximity to my workplace. This time, I dropped off two dresses for dry cleaning/stain removal (paid $29.98), one dress to just have the zipper repaired (paid $28), and two blazers to just have shortened (paid $50 each). When I got to work, I realized that I was paying almost the exact same amount to simply have a blazer altered that I was quoted for an alteration AND dry cleaning a couple of weeks ago. I called to inquire about this and was given the runaround. A man who I suppose is the manager initially said that he did not know why the pricing was what it was then told me that it was perhaps due to some promotion going on. I asked how much the promotion was to result in the pricing nearly being equivalent, and he said 10% which still doesn't make sense. I told him so, then, presumably due to being tired of speaking with me, he told me that I could come pick up my items and receive a refund which worked perfectly fine with me. While picking up my items, Eden told me that the refund had to be processed through an accountant and that the man I spoke to before was not in at the moment to discuss things further. After getting in contact with him, he told me that the refund had been initiated and to text them my email address to receive proof of this via email. As of the afternoon of July 9, I have still not received an actual refund, confirmation of a refund, or any specific timeline for the processing of my refund. I called Barr this morning after they ignored my texts and got an AI assistant for the first time since trying to resolve this matter, so it seems I'll just be disputing these charges with my bank. These business practices are egregious, and I can only imagine how many others have been charged on a whim but did not realize and thus could not rectify matters. I cannot recommend Barr Cleaners any less. UPDATE (July 10, 2026): Barr Cleaners said they issued a refund this morning and requested my email to send me a refund receipt. I will update this review a final time when I receive the receipt. UPDATE (July 10, 2026): I received confirmation of a refund via email this afternoon. I'm glad to have this matter finally resolved, but my original rating still stands.
