So, I ignored some of the other negative reviews and started going to him because he was close, and…read morehe did dozens of alterations for me over years. And he is a con artist. Is he a decent tailor? Yes. 90% of the time the work comes back good; sometimes it doesn't but he fixes it if you notice. But no, you shouldn't go to him. There is a reason he doesn't list prices anywhere. He charges as much as he thinks he can get away with charging you. And he talks a really, really big game about how hard the alterations are, and how no one else does them right, and how he can't make any money on his prices. At first he seemed a little pricey, but the work was good, and again, he was nearby, and he was so friendly. After a while I really thought we were becoming real friends, but it was just buttering me up. And like a sucker, I fell for it. I fell for it so hard that I didn't write this review for a long time because I am so embarrassed by how much money this man took me for. The more I went to him, the larger the "discounts" he claimed to be giving me, but I had this feeling that nevertheless the prices kept going up... and up, and up. Eventually he quoted me prices for two overcoat alterations that were too outrageous for me to swallow. I called seven of the most well-reputed menswear tailors in Manhattan, and all of them quoted me half the cost or less. And I know enough about tailoring to ask for exactly the work i need done, and Hussey had explained exactly what he was going to do, and I explained it exactly to the other tailors. I went back to Hussey to get my coats, and he knew exactly why, and barely would speak to me as he told me not to come back. I now take my work to Wazin Custom Tailors in midtown. They take half as long to do your measurements, they charge has as much, their work is flawless, and they have it done fast, on the day they said they would. Maybe you'll have a different experience, maybe he won't see you as a mark, but he may will smile to your face, butter you up, and rip you off, like he did to me. At least go one block further up Washington to the guy who has his prices posted on the wall. Other things to know: he will take as long to do your work as you let him. It won't be done when he says. It'll only be done when you call or come by multiple times to tell him you need it. Also, if you go there in the evening, you will see his shop is completely infested with clothes moths. I'm still trying to get them out of my warddrobe.

Amanda did an absolutely beautiful job with my wedding dress!

She worked her magic on a particularly complicated bustle job, which she also color-coded super clearly so it was easy to tie up without her help - my planners were admiring it while bustling me, saying that they'd never seen such a nice job before. Amanda is also super chill/calm and down to earth, which was a welcome change from the energy of the bridal dress shop scene and the general wedding planning frenzy. 10/10 would recommend!

I found AMadden tailoring through yelp and other reviews to tailor my wedding dress. Even though…read moreshe was out of town when I emailed, she got back to me within a day and scheduled an appointment. Her office space is in Gowanus so pretty easy to get to and if you drive, there are usually a couple parking spots in front. She comes down to open the door and bring you up to the studio and then you take off your shoes upon entering. She always had a great playlist going which I hum or sing to. She has a great mirror to showcase your dress and showed me both style options for a bustle. I had her add an American bustle and take in the straps a bit and because my wedding was a month away, we scheduled a follow up appointment two weeks out. She color coded the bustle to make it super easy and we had one more try on. With the deposit, it was about $300 total which is on par with what I had done. She tailors other women's clothes as well so I have a feeling I'll be coming back for all my tailoring needs. She does not tailor menswear.

When I got the dress back the entire top half of the dress (bust area, straps, etc) were misaligned because they took the straps in wayyyyy too much. When I showed it to them they played dumb, refused to fix it (claiming it could not be fixed), and then had the gaul to still charge me for it. It's NYC, there are a ton of good options, no reason to risk the same thing happening to you.

They're an affordable option for basic alterations, but out of their depth for more complex needs…read more I took a wedding dress to get altered and they did a good job cutting off the hem but when the bust was too large they just stuck cups in, making the whole dress look really strange. I had to go to a second tailor specializing in weddings, and they commented on how shoddy the tailoring was and had to undo a lot of the work. I think I'd go to E&L if I needed my pants hemmed or if the sleeves on a shirt were too long, but would probably look elsewhere for something more complex.
