I came in with two dresses, one a bridesmaids dress I needed hemmed and the second a dress with a button popped off. All three of the men at the shop were extremely knowledgable on how the alternations should be made and how short we should go - helpful since I hadn't found the shoes yet. The second dress, I was unsure how to fix but they came up with ideas on how to make it fit me much better. They finished all the alternations very quickly and I am so happy with the outcome. A great experience overall and I would suggest anyone use them for their needs in New York. read more

Hands down the best tailor in the city. The craftsmanship is astounding. They restored my favorite vintage top that I thought was impossible to fix because it was literally shredded. Been coming to them ever since. They're also incredibly fast. And often make small alterations free of charge. Masters at fixing impossible tears. read more

These fellows are highly professional and talented as well as really nice. I've begun to take all of my tailoring needs to them exclusively. They are very reasonably priced and deliver expert work. They recently changed the lining of a dress coat for me and the work was exquisite. Photos attached. read more

I came here for a one off favor. I'm from Buffalo NY and in the city for a girls day/ Buffalo Bills game. My zipper ripped at the very wrong time getting snagged on a table. I google searched these guys and walked in. They literally gave me sweatpants, sewed my pants PERFECTLY and had me put them back on ALL FOR $15. Their kindness and quickness - I'm forever indebted to them. If you want Top service, good work and kindness, this is where you should give your money. read more

Had an incredible experience here. I needed a bridesmaid dress shorten and the bust area enlarged. I dropped the dress off at 10:30 am and it was ready 2 hours later! The dress came out perfect - I highly recommend this tailor!! read more

I've had such positive experiences using East Side Tailor and they'll continue to be my go-to for any alteration needs!

Great turn around time too. read more

Seriously, the best. I trust them with my entire closet. Professional, extremely fast delivery, and great attention to detail.

BEST TAILOR IN NYC! I had a last minute trip and needed to get some pieces tailored. I found the most welcoming tailors I've ever met. Franco helped me and you can instantly tell he loves his craft. His level of customer service is impressive. He always has a smile, explaining things and just all around trying to help. I've met Mateo and Miguel and they're all around simply amazing. If you need any tailoring service in NYC this is THE place to go. read more

I spent a while looking for tailors in the East Village because I knew that the alterations on my bridesmaids dress were going to be a big job and really didn't want to end up with a botched dress weeks before the wedding. I ended up going with East Side Tailor because they had 5 stars across the board on both Yelp and Google, and I am so glad that I did. Franco is a master of his craft and made my initially ill-fitting dress fit like a glove! He definitely put a lot of time into my dress, and it shows. It looks absolutely flawless, and the price is right too. Franco cares so much about customer satisfaction and was just a joy to go see in general. East Side Tailor was the first tailor I tried in the East Village and will be the last, as I will only be going there from now on. I will be recommending East Side Tailor to everyone I know. Muchas gracias Franco!! read more

Very quick and good dress tailoring. They were able to see me day of and returned the dress much earlier than anticipated which was great!

I went to East Side Tailor to get my jeans altered. They told me to come back a week later but was ready early within 3 days. They shortened my jeans perfectly and looks so natural. I love how it fits and they did such a great job. I'll definitely be coming back again! read more

They squeezed me in before a wedding during a busy season. Reasonable prices for the East Village and the staff are super nice.

Franco is a master craftsman, his attention to details and craftsmanship is uncanny. I have used his services on few occasions including quick alterations like hem, shorten sleeves length. He can altered any retail suits into custom fitted suits as he did to mine from century 21. And as always, the end product is perfect. He also did amazing job on my friends wedding dress with quick turnaround. I highly recommend Franco for any tailoring related job. read more

Finally an excellent reasonably priced tailor in the East Village!!! Immediate service in a friendly, clean store. These guys are honest, detail oriented tailors!! I highly recommend East Side Tailor! read more

East Side Tailor is amazing! I had 3 jumpsuits that I wanted cut down to rompers for summer. I came in, had the tailor measure the length, and he was done with all of them within an hour! The seams were perfect, and the price was $15 per romper. The tailor himself is a very sweet man who is passionate about his work. If you are looking for a fast, affordable, and quality tailor, I highly recommend you come here! read more

The service here is great! The tailor only speaks rudimentary English, but he worked hard to understand my requirements and give suggestions. I came in with a loose-fitting shirt and pants. After putting them on, he suggested shortening the sleeves, tapering them and tightening up the waist of the pants. I wasn't in a rush, but he finished the job in a week. The seams are flawless and the clothes now fit great! He was extremely friendly and takes his work seriously, so I plan on coming back regularly to get all my clothes to fit perfectly. read more

Nice guys who are great at their craft. Did a great job fixing my coat, lengthening the arms beyond what I thought was possible. Highly recommended! read more

Quick, great work, and fair prices. Franco is great! Highly recommended.

Yelp took down 5 other 5 star reviews saying they were fake. Not sure why because it's not true East Side Taylor is excellent!. Two of my friends recommended this place for friendly, efficient, great service at a great price. If you check on their Instagram you can see the ones that Yelp took down! :( I wanted to taper, hem, and make my pants into joggers with elastic. Mateo helped me with sizing and was very meticulous making sure everything was how I wanted. Another customer walked in and she had a bridesmaid dress altered and said it was perfect! Franco is the tailor - and he was also really nice with explaining what they were going to do, pricing, and timing. Super nice clean and friendly store. Excited to pick up my pants! read more

Excellent work. I brought in two suits that needed a lot of work and they did a meticulous job for a very reasonable price considering the hours of work they put into it. Highly recommend this small business to other East Village residents. read more

Needed the sleeves shortened on a brand new winter coat and didn't want to risk dry cleaner alterations. Everyone at the tiny shop was really friendly and quick to help. It was $45 and they told me it would be a week, which makes sense because they were busy and it seems like Franco does all the alterations himself. Then a few hours later I get a call and it's ready! Excited to have my coat back so quick. Thanks, team! read more

Needed some shirts tailored and was very pleased with the results. They were even able to rush one that I realized I needed at the last minute. Will definitely return. read more

Such a great tailor! I went to get several of my pants altered and Franco was so quick, efficient, and very friendly. Even though I have around 5 pants to repair the whole ordeal took no time at all. And the alterations were perfect. Would highly recommend! read more

I just dropped in today to drop off a pair of denim to be taken in on the waist and the width of the pant legs. Super quick - I was out in less than 10 minutes - but also did not feel rushed in away. The guy servicing me was super polite and made me prioritized answering my questions before going on to the next customer who walked in the door after me. Little pricey but hopefully worth it. I pick up my pants in one week. read more

Franco is the best. He was able to tailor my entire suit at a great price. The work is excellent quality. I will be dropping off more items in the future. read more

Amazing and fast service for very reasonable prices. I had them alter the sleeves of a leather jacket and they did a great job for about 20% cheaper than any other quote I got and half the price of most quotes. I told them no rush when I dropped it off, and they still had it ready for pickup later that same day. They were also very friendly and professional. read more

The best! Super friendly service and they made sure to have my dress ready in time for a wedding this weekend! I will be back!!!

These guys are awesome. I went in with 4 pairs of pants and Matteo & Franco were very consultative about what I needed. Pants looked great and look forward to going back. Highly recommend. read more

These guys work hard to make sure you get the exact fit you want. They nailed it on the first two pairs of wool slacks, but offered to make any changes I wanted to see after I picked them up. I have two more pairs of slacks and plan to come back soon. Matteo is an absolute gentleman and I'm very happy with the result. Family style Tailor, couldn't ask for more. Gracias hermanos! Hasta pronto read more

I was very impressed by the work and how quickly it was finished (same day!). I had a pair of casual jersey knit pants hemmed perfectly and exactly as I asked them to be hemmed - I wanted the hem to be exactly the same as I purchased them. I'll definitely trust them with my next tailoring job. It's hard to know who to trust to make changes to your clothing but I recommend East Side Tailor for your next alteration. read more

Quick and high quality service! Would recommend to anyone!! Got two pairs of jeans hemmed and it was extremely well done.

Quick and reasonably priced tailoring. Had pants that were hemmed the same day for a good price.

These guys are such an exemplary example of what it means to love your craft, cater to the client and exceed expectations. I came in on a Tuesday with a gown that needed to be tailored by Friday. Everything was complete by Thursday (THANKSGIVING!!!) I ordered the dress online from a third party seller so of course it didn't fit (the front of the dress was very loose and the material around the breast area was sagging). These guys were patient, worked with me to perfect my vision, and I could not be happier with the results. If you have any doubts about these guys, know that you're going to get QUALITY and they're affordable! read more
