Stopped in to see if they were able to fix a zipper on a heavy duty coat, fully planning to drop it off an retrieve at a later date, if it was feasible. Not only was I told they could make the repair, she took the coat and fifteen minutes later all was complete. Very friendly and cost was extremely reasonable. Great customer service. read more

I have had several pieces of clothing tailored and they were all perfect. Very professional and friendly. Great turn around time . read more

Meral is terrific. We have taken many things there and she always does a great job. My daughter was invited to the prom and had to get a dress altered quickly. There were quite a few layers and Meral did an amazing job. read more

Meral's Tailoring & Alterations LLC - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Simsbury, Connecticut

Unfortunately, Meral's was a bit of a disappointment. I had to get my first army ASU (dress uniform) tailored to be a groomsmen in my buddy's wedding. I called a few places, as I wanted someone who had experience altering army ASUs, and she said she did. So I drove the 25 minutes to her shop. Quickly upon arrival, I found out that she didn't seem to have a whole lot of experience in altering ASU's to code. I don't expect every tailor to know how to do these, but don't tell me you do if you really don't. I felt a little taken advantage of off the bat. I dropped my suit off on Wednesday afternoon and she said she would have it done in by the following Wednesday. When I showed up the next Wednesday late afternoon, she said she "forgot to finish" it. She asked if I could wait a half hour, I said yes, so I just walked around for a while. When she finally 'finished' over an hour later, the sleeves were still way too long. So all in all, I waited a little over a hour and a half and had to cancel the plans I made for the evening. Another customer came in during this time to pick up her clothes and was told that her's wasn't done either, so I wasn't the only one who was let down. This is the first time I've been to this tailor shop, so I can't say if it's this disappointing all the time. Who knows, maybe she was just having a bad week. But either way, I certainly won't be back. I don't like being so negative, so I will say she seems like a nice woman and the prices seemed fairly reasonable. read more

I will not be using Meral again. I needed a zipper replacement for a shoulder bag- she said she'd do it, quoted me a price near what I was expecting, and told me when it would be done. When I went back on the day she had specified, it wasn't done, so she gave me a later date to return. However, Meral still wasn't done on that second date. I should have asked for the bag back and taken it elsewhere but she said it was in progress, so I just left. I waited two extra days after the next date she gave me to return, and this time the repair was finally done. She gave me $5 off for my trouble, but the whole experience was very much an aggravating letdown and a waste of my time. read more

I came to Meral with a very unique bridesmaid dress (it was actually a jumpsuit), and she did a wonderful job altering it. I had lost quite a bit of weight, so she had a lot to take it, and yet her price was fair! Also- she's very friendly and easy to work with. She's now my new go to tailor! read more

Absolutely horrible, I gave then four jackets and they ruined all of them. I was very specific in what I wanted but they didn't listen at all. When I asked them to undo what I didn't ask for they refused. I wouldn't bring anything there again, even if they gave me the alterations for free. read more

I think she did a good job on pants she took in after I lost a lot of weight, but she is regularly out of the shop to pick up her kids at school, and just leaves a note on the door. I appreciate her need for child care, but think she should include these regular away times in her posted hours, so people don't waste time waiting for her to come back. I did have an instance where I thought she said she would complete altering a skirt by a certain date, but it wasn't done. I think that may have been a misunderstanding, so hate to ding her for it. read more

Meral is flexible, timely, and knows what she is doing. I trust her with any of my alterations or creation requests!

Items are never ready when they are promised to be ready. Items were not tailored correctly and had to be brought back to be re-done multiple times. Too expensive for quality of work. Would not recommend. read more
