I will echo many of the previous reviews. I've been going to Steve for 15+ years, he has always provided speedy service at a great price with highly professional end results. This past New Year's Eve, I ripped my pants practically wide-open at the crotch line, it went all the way up to the waistline in the back. It truly looked like a lost cause. Within 48 hours, Steve performed his magic and mended the tear. Under bright lights, he showed me what he did and it is literally invisible from the outside. Experienced tailors are difficult to find these days. However we have one of the best here in Norristown. *** STORE IS NOT CLOSED*** Call in advance read more

Thank you to prior posters that informed he was not closed - Yelp was very wrong. I moved farther away but had been going to Steve since my HS prom dress days and it's almost 30 years later and no other tailor comes close to his expertise and care to detail! Was SO happy to return today, so my jeans are tailored the right way again!! Best service and very reasonable prices :) read more

Mr. Chronis is really European, and he has been a tailor for over 60 years. His has provided 100% satisfaction for my work over the years, on about a dozen suits, sport coats, and pants. He has very high standards of excellence. The store is NOT CLOSED and has never been closed. Yelp is incorrect. read more

I had a suit custom made through www.ownonly.com and needed to get it tailored to fit me for my wedding (I lost about 20 lbs after ordering the suit). I took it to another tailor in Abington who told me the jacket was fine, but the pants and vest needed to be taken in and that it would take a week. After about a week and a half, having heard nothing from them, I stopped in to find the suit had been ready for days (but the tailor wasn't in the shop that day). I tried it on quickly and was a little skeptical, but it wasn't until I put the jacket on in front of my future mother in law that I realized it was way too big (and that the pants still needed a lot of work). At this point I was about a week and a half out from the wedding, smack-dab in the middle of prom season to boot. I did some searching online and came across Steve's shop, European Tailor. The reviews looked great, so I gave him a call. He answered, listened to my sob story and told me in a thick Greek accent to come to his shop immediately. THIS was the tailor experience I'd been looking for. He had me try the suit on and started pinching fabric here, pinning it there, showing me different profiles, explaining the process and giving honest feedback about the quality and cut of the suit (and the apparently shoddy alterations I'd just paid for elsewhere). He actually seemed legitimately upset that someone had done such a bad job and charged money for it. He told me right away that the jacket and pants needed to be taken in quite a bit still. He put us right at ease by telling us confidently he could do the work, keep the price down, and have it ready in plenty of time. A few days later he called me and I went to the shop. True to his word, the suit was perfect! Night and day. Obviously a HUGE relief. As a special bonus, he gave me a custom-made pocket square to match my tie and wouldn't accept any money for it. Class act all the way, and my bride was thrilled. One word of advice - the shop is CASH ONLY, so make sure you've got it on hand or you'll be running to the BB&T on the corner. Thanks Steve! read more

European Tailor - Finished suit! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Norristown, Pennsylvania

I needed jeans hemmed ASAP for a business trip. It was taken care of superfast and reasonably charged. I highly recommend this tailor!

European Tailor was amazing! My fiancé and I both had our expensive pilot uniforms tailored by him and are amazed with the quality work he did. They fit perfectly! He knows exactly what to do to make them fit for every body type. I was especially impressed with my blazer. It is more of a men's cut out of the box and he gave it a nice hourglass fit to make it more feminine and fit better without changing the style. I recommend him to all of my friends in the area. read more

Looking for the best tailor for alteration? Look no farther than Steve Chronis, AKA European Tailor. Both my wife and I used Steve when our daughter was getting married. After finding the ideal Mother of the Bride dress, there was only 5 weeks till the wedding. Challenge was to find a competent tailor for the fitting and to make the alterations. Steve exuded a quiet confidence and assured us that he had everything under control. His alterations were flawless and the dress fit perfectly. When I, the father of the bride, tried on my rented tux days before the wedding, my trouser length was dreadful. I immediately called Steve and he said come right over. He did the measurements and made the alterations while I waited. The man is a magician, his alterations are perfection. Joe & Jane Morris read more

This man is an absolute gem. Just being in his presence and inside his shop gave me an optimism about the world that is priceless. And he did a great job on my friend's dress. read more

Best in the business. Would never us anyone else. Thanks Steve for always taking care of your customers and treating everyone like family

Steve is an excellent tailor and his service is even better. He altered my wedding dress in the middle of prom season. Due to unforeseen events I got my wedding dress a little too late and all tailors told me on the phone itself that they cannot take it as it is prom season. 2 tailors who were willing to have a look at my dress said they cannot do it within 2 weeks and said most tailors will not even take it as the work is very complicated. Finally I found European Tailors on yelp and took the dress, Steve assured me he will be able to finish the alteration within time. I was so relieved. He not only did an excellent job but he finished it 2 days before the day it was due :) I'm very picky and I was very pleased with the work. The dress was steamed and packaged nicely for me to take. He also charged me very reasonable. If you are looking for a tailor, European tailor is the place to go. read more

European Tailor - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Norristown, Pennsylvania

The most legitimate tailor I've come across in 30 years. Knows fabric, knows quality, knows what he is doing. I'm 6'5 and it's impossible to buy clothes/suits that fit off the rack. I had him tailor and dart 8 dress shirts and 3 fully canvased Suit Supply suits, and his work is impeccable. He was also able to fix a split in a pit of pants that the dry cleaner said was beyond repair. If you are interested in wasting money, let the suit store do it or take it to a dry cleaner. If you want superior quality, This dude is on point and it's worth every penny. I am honestly not sure if he ever stops working. Seems like he is in there 8-midnight every day. Stavros is a super nice old school guy, with an old school shop that produces a high quality product. read more

Stavaros is by far the best tailor around & his prices are very reasonable. Wouldn't take my gear any where else.

Steve is an excellent tailor and has taken care of my whole family for over 20 years. He has made me a dress from scratch. His work is always high quality and done to perfection. read more

Stavros is dedicated to taking care of his customer And his cost is reasonable A very friendly guy, it is a fun experience to do business with him Highly recommended read more

Stavaros took care of my suit jacket & pants in hours --- yes, hours. It was a last minute emergency (funeral) and he kindly moved me to the top of the queue. He even called me at ~8pm that evening to let me know it was finished. Work is top notch too. Suit looks amazing. I will be back. read more

I was a designer in Los Angeles for 10 years. I only dealt with the best tailors. Stavros is amazing. He is top notch and he always has a smile on his face. He is the best! read more

I can't say enough about this guy. I had 3 suits, two pair of pants, a shirt, and a blazer tailored here, all of them look great. Stavros is incredibly dedicated to his craft and very proud of his work. On top of that he is friendly and his work reasonably priced. What more can you ask? read more

This is the best tailor! Excellent work done on 3 sport coats and 2 pairs of suit pants. Stavros had them done in one day at a very good price. The man takes pride in his work and will continue to get my business. read more

Terrific experience. It's getting more difficult to find a a suit that fits from a retail store. After a few tries with the in-house tailors, I decided to look around. Sure you can find someone to do custom-level work for bespoke prices in Chestnut Hill or the Main Line. I found Stavros and was immediately impressed! I will immediately bring all of my suits there going forwards. And a co-worker had a great experience with a dress she needed in just two days. Highly recommend this tailor! read more

So you get a drop dead gorgeous prom dress but still have to do some major alterations to make it in to a mermaid fit, shorten the layers of ruffles throughout, and alter the top and sleeves...No pressure, right? You really have to put your trust in someone you don't know-because if it gets messed up, you're screwed! After reading the reviews on here, we decided to put that trust in to Stavros at the European Tailor. I liked the fact that from the first call, he made you feel special-not just like a number that the shop would get to a day or two before your special event because they had a lot of other people to work on before you...Yes, I was actually told that from a competitor and was so put off! I would have to agree with the reviews on here that say that the shop could use an update, but that didn't matter. Stavros' old school work ethic, ability to make you feel like a princess, and finished product were what was important! Awesome job and service! read more

Steve is great! Fast, professional job and reasonably priced. He takes old-world pride in his work. Can't beat it. Pretty much a no-frills environment but I'm not as interested in the surroundings as I am in the results and THIS MAN DELIVERS! Please don't confuse him with Golden Thimble. He's a few doors away - look for the "Munashe" sign and pull in there. Highly recommended! read more

Crazy story! A friend of mine's husband has been using this tailor for 20 years for his suits. So she referred me to him when it came time for prom season to have my daughters prom dress altered. He hemmed the bottom of her dress and tighten the straps for $85. I was pleased. In a crazy turn of events 3 weeks later my friend who originally referred me to this tailor, her daughter got the same exact dress as my daughter in a different color. He literally did the same exact alterations... A little tightening of the straps and hemming of the bottom. That's it! He charge her $256 and gave the dress back with the stain on the front of it!! Now remember it's the same exact dress as my daughters. I will try to upload the photos of both dresses. He Did not offer to get the stain out and did not give a discount for the stain. Now they have to pay for dry cleaning, so far this junior prom dress has cost them just over $500 and now they have to pay for dry cleaning! We truly believe that she was charged so much more bc her family is more well-off than mine, we believe he upcharged her so much thinking she comes from money, and I was charged so little bc I'm just a "regular Joe". If anything you would've thought they got the discount for going there for 20 years. He clearly did not know we knew each other. So he just lost a customer of 20 years and a new customer for life. Sad story of greed! read more

THE PITS. All was fine until I went to pick up the dress he doesn't accept cash and basically steals your money. $115 for a bridesmaid dress to be take up a few inches and to shorten one strap. The most anyone else in the wedding paid for the exact same alterations was $85 and the lowest was $50. Shady. read more

Reasonable rates...perfect attention to detail...super fast... gets all of my tailoring business from now on....The neighborhood tailor is a live and well .....Thanks Stavros read more

Friendly, personal service. Great rates and was able to turn around a new suit in less than 4 hours. I won't go anywhere else.

There are two other more visible tailors nearby, but I chose "European Tailor" based on so many posted positive reviews. Still, I was blown away by Stavaros, and his eagerness to stay up all night to make my 3 day deadline. I had a batch of costumes my dancers had outgrown while away at college, and I didn't know that they couldn't zip up until they came home at Thanksgiving for a dress rehearsal - a week before our Nutcracker show! Stavaros not only invisibly altered them to fit perfectly, but added clever touches to keep the non-stretch trim from ripping. He's not just a superb tailor; he's a genius, and I felt compelled to pay him more than the pittance he charged me. I struck GOLD, and Stavaros has a customer for life!!! read more

Stavros altered my daughter's wedding gown on short notice and did a perfect job. He took all the time we needed to make sure everything was perfect. He also hemmed a complicated gown for me and I am headed back today to have my gown for another daughter's wedding hemmed. Love his outgoing way and his work. read more

The very best tailor you'll find. He took the time to ensure everything was exactly as I wanted. Friendly genuine service, a true gem. Turned item around quickly and for a reasonable price. A++++++ read more

I've been here a few times to get both men's and women's clothing altered. Stavaros did a great job on making adjustments to a suit jacket as well as hemming pants and jeans. He's an honest and hardworker who always likes to crack a few jokes about staying young and healthy. For my wife, he made adjustments to a bridesmaid dress and also work pants that needed hemming. Great job all around! One downside that took off one star - cash only. read more

Stavros has done several of my suits and a couple of my wife's dresses (including our wedding attire). His work is impeccable and I highly recommend. He's a true tailor and makes every alteration with old school craftsmanship. read more
