I was gifted a decent navy-blue suit that had some minor fit issues. This was my first suit...I was…read moreexcited to have it! I've never been to a tailor, so I consulted Yelp! I found Paris Tailors not too far from my home. Only 2 reviews...both 5 stars and very commending...sounded like a winner. I called and was told to bring the suit in to the shop. I found the place just as I expected a tailor shop to appear...small storefront...jalousie door with a bell...wood paneled walls...hanging garments and fabric...small dressing room...3-way mirror...elderly gentleman...tape measure hung over his shoulders. I was asked to try the suit on. The tailor and I determined that the jacket was just a bit tight around the waist, but fit well in the shoulders, sleeves, and length. "No problem", said the tailor. He carefully made a mark on the front of the jacket near the top button with his chalk. The pants are a good fit at the waist, but needed a hem and a bit of tailoring in the rear. The tailor pinned the pants to fit as I wore them and took a look into the mirror with me..."No problem." I suggested that the pants be slimmed or tapered around the lower leg...I said, "They're a little wide." The tailor shrugged. He's the expert. I trusted him. It was time to talk price. I've never been to a tailor. I am unfamiliar with the costs of such a service. The tailor took a long, thoughtful look at the suit now draped over his counter..."Eighty dollars." I hesitated to agree...I thought about it for 10 seconds...this suit was a gift...$80 out-of-pocket for a great-fitting, decent navy blue suit..."no problem"...I authorized the tailor to do the work...he issued me a ticket..."Will call you when ready". A week passed with no word from the tailor. I called the shop. I was greeted by a woman who placed me on a 5-minute hold...the tailor got on the line..."It's ready." I went to the shop and tried it on. I came out of the dressing room with the suit on and waited for some feedback about the fit from the tailor. The tailor was silent...he offered no opinion or further suggestions about the fit, so I figured that I was good to go...perhaps tailors just don't do that...I've never been to a tailor. I changed, paid the $80 cash and went on my way. I got home and examined more closely...I realized that the jacket was never touched...the original stitching was still there at the back-center seam and the side seams. This jacket was too tight in the waist by only about 1/2" - 1", and I simply didn't have the knowledge to notice while I was in the shop. I was confused about how this thing was supposed to fit...It was my first one...I was excited to have it. The pants fit better in the rear and the hem was the proper length, but as I suggested at my original visit, they were definitely in need of a taper. They looked silly almost covering my shoes...they had iron marks at the back of the waist near the center belt-loop...I was confused about my tailoring experience...I was afraid that I paid $80 for a hem. I noticed a sign at the Dry Cleaner near my office that said, "Expert Tailoring and Alterations". I brought my suit in. The lady tailor...the seamstress...explained that the pants need tapering and the jacket could stand to be let out a bit at the waist. She suggested that she tailor the pants to create a "slim-fit" that would allow the fit of the jacket to look proportionate to the rest of the suit. Her explanation was excellent and made sense to me...I agreed to allow her to do the work...she charged me $27.50 including a dry clean and instructed me to pay when I pick the suit up in three days. My blue suit now fits great! My regret is that I wasted my time and money by trusting Paris Tailors.

THE best of the Main Line in my opinion.

Shirl is also very responsive and I knew I was leaving my dress in great hands. Since Shirl started making her own dresses before she started altering them, she really understands how to adjust a dress in the most flattering way possible, and is a true expert at what she does. A huge bonus is that Shirl has an amazing sense of humor (dry and glorious!) which put me at ease during my fittings. I had plenty of options closer to me when I chose who would alter my dress, but am very happy I made the trek from South Philly to see Shirl!
