This place was recommended to me by a friend. I originally came in to get my áo dài dry cleaned and ended up coming back another time to get a dress tailored. The workers are really nice and accommodating. My friend unfortunately lost the pants to her áo dài and thought they may have been misplaced it at the store, and they were very helpful by checking their security footage to see if it was brought there (it wasnt lol). When I came in to get my dress tailored, the lady was really helpful and gave me suggestions on how I could adjust the dress. My fiancé ended up picking it up for me, and when I tried it on later, I felt like I didn't love the final look 100%. I called around 5:30 PM to see if there was any way they could help touch it up. I got there around 5:40 PM and explained that I needed it the next morning by 9 AM. She told me not to worry and to come back at 6:30 PM, right before closing. She was so nice and fixed it up for me really quickly, and there was no extra charge. I will say, I was a little taken aback by the price of the tailoring. This was my first time getting a dress tailored, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had the shoulders adjusted, a slit added, and the back touched up, and it came out to around $150. I'm not sure if that's a normal/average price since this was my first time..... But anyway-- the place is clean, the staff is super friendly, and they were really accommodating. I'll definitely be coming back to get more of my dresses tailored and dry cleaned here! :) read more

Great people! Owner is super nice and gives discounts to customers. The service and value are great as well for getting tailors.

We've been using the Merrifield Tailoring Shop for over 20 years. They are the best. Very professional, talented, and timely. They have performed miracles with women's clothing designs and have saved us thousands of dollars. They can create anything. read more

Absolutely professional and high end tailors. So polite and helpful. Very fast on service. They fitted some slacks and a tuxedo shirt and everything was perfect. I didn't feel like I was in a sweat shop and everyone had a smile. Great prices and value for all your needs. read more

My dog ate the zipper and lower button off my North Face down coat and they were able to repair my coat in a timely manner and my coat is good as new! read more

friggin rude and prices do not reflect what's on the wall. prices seem to just be a whim or the biatch's mood

They are wonderful and prompt. They take great care in handling your clothes, making sure everything's wrapped in plastic and hung well. They have hemmed a bridesmaid dress (which they hung on a hanger with a bust to help keep the shape of the dress), a blazer, and a jacket for me. My dress was chiffon from azazie with three layers. They seemed to have tons of bridesmaid dresses to alter. For my blazer, they took in the sides and did the sleeves. For my jacket, they did the sleeves. I have no complaints about their work! Overall, reasonable value for the price and quality of work. read more

I want to take a moment to call out some greatness by the wonderful staff of Merrifield Tailoring. I was recently facing a major time crunch to have a dress tailored and altered for a last-minute engagement photo shoot. Even though I was making my request at the last-minute (and during high school prom season!) the ladies were so understanding and performed a last-minute miracle. My dress came out looking fantastic, and Merrifield Tailoring really saved the day. I'm grateful to the entire team, and it's this willingness to go the extra mile that demonstrates why I'm a loyal and dedicated customer. I would recommend them for any and all occasions. read more

I LOVE THIS TAILOR! They went above and beyond for me in such a short notice. I can not thank Lee and Lynn enough. They reassured me that they could do what needed to be done to make sure I felt comfortable in my bridesmaids dress. Thank you again, I definitely did :) read more

I use this business on a regular basis for alterations and dry cleaning. They are always exceptional and honest when they are unsure if they can get out stains. read more

Had a coat that I needed the sleeves shortened. It was an easy process and I was in-and-out very quickly. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. I came in, described what I wanted, tailor took some measurements, I paid same day, got a receipt, and was told to come back in 2-3 days. Came back on day 4 and it was perfectly tailored! 10/10 would recommend. read more

3/2/20 Walking into the store gave me a good feeling. I could hear Van Morrison's Crazy Love playing in the background. AWESOME! I also smelled a nice clean scent on the store to. The woman wearing one of my favorite colors (Emerald Green) sweaters greeted me with a weary smile. I asked how quickly she repair a zipper on a pair of pants. Two to three days was the answer I recieved. Unfortunately since the pants I am wearing had it's zipper come off on one side of the pants, i am in need for it to be repaired. Since I am on the job this very moment, I am pressed for time. The woman who I have come to think of as Doris Wong, wasn't able to do it. She said "maybe two days time." This isn't good enough for me, do I said "thank you and left." The location of this business is in the Mosaic Center of Falls Church on the right side next to Four Sisters Restaurant. It is a busy store so I am not surprised she couldn't do it today. Still, I might get something done here at another time. read more

See all

very good service and work. prices were very reasonable for the quality. would definitely be my go to from now on

Merrifield Tailors went above and beyond to accommodate a completely last minute tux alteration. We came in on a Saturday morning with a tux needing to be altered for a wedding that evening and they did it in less than 2 hours. Cannot thank them enough and I will always bring anything I need altered here, great customer service and great work. Thank you again!! read more

Great tailor, tor a button completely off, material and all, but they fixed it - can't even tell it was fixed. Awesome! Highly recommended

I've never used the cleaning services here (hello, have you people tried Dryel?,) but have been a few times for tailoring. I've had dress skirts, jeans, dress pants, and a formal gown hemmed here to better fit my under 5 foot frame. I like my pants longer than usual, and time and time again, they have ignored my wishes and turned my pants in to high waters, as we call 'em in the south. I thought the first time was a fluke, so the second time I brought a huge batch of new, expensive pants. Big mistake. To their credit, the skirts were perfect and not too short. A third time I needed a gown hemmed and they also took care of that just fine. I only chose this location because I was in a major rush. But, since I have to be super embarrassed to wear all my most expensive jeans and am constantly tugging at the ankles... I just can't give any more stars. I can't fix the clothes they ruined. I also hate the dressing room situation. My fiancé revealed to me everyone heard me say some semi-embarrassing things behind the curtain to the tailor in referencing the fit on my hips. I really need a better tailor. read more

If only I could have been blessed with another 3 inches added to my height. Currently, I am at 5'1" which is a curse when it comes to pants shopping. They're usually too long for me, even in the petite sizes which means I gotta take my pants to the tailor to get hemmed. They have a fitting area where you can try on your clothes. I found it incredibly helpful that the fitting area came with high heeled shoes so if you're going to be wear your pants with heels, they can make the correct measurements. Great service. They had my 2 pairs of pants done in 2 days. I would definitely return. read more

I get my jeans altered here and they've always done a great job. I don't do original but they offer it. Recently I brought two dresses here to be altered. My Sue Wong was pretty complicated. It was hemmed and when I tried it on, it was too short. They were able to fix it that same evening so I could walk out with it. They were also very apologetic about the hem. I plan to continue using them. read more

I have been frequenting Merrifield Tailoring for dry cleaning and tailoring for years. Consistently I have been impressed with the quality of Lee's work, her dependability and cheerful and personable service. I recommend her heartily. read more

Extremely quick, professional, and painless during the intake. They were able to take my Brooks Brother's suits, which are notoriously classic fit, and have it look modern fitting. The suits were pressed and seemed to be dry cleaned too when I picked them up. This place is also very inexpensive compared to the other places I have been to and my suits were ready in half the time. And to respond to John D.'s review. You expected them to re-hem your pants for free after one month of wearing it? Especially after you thought it was satisfactory when you picked it up? You seem like the kind of person that returns fruit. read more

I've learned my lesson: if you don't feel comfortable with a tailor, leave. I dropped off three pairs of pants that needed to be hemmed at Merrifield Tailoring Shop, partly because it was convenient and partly because I hadn't yet found a trustworthy tailor in the area. After doing a cursory web search, Merrifield Tailoring Shop seemed like a good option. From the jump, there was a major communication / language barrier between myself and the gentleman that helped me. However, I tend to give professionals a lot of leeway, so I stuck around. I explained - clearly - how I wanted the pants hemmed, and the gentleman proceeded to pin them.. however he wanted. Maybe he was only used to men wanting baggy, double-break hems? Either way, each pair of pants needed to be re-pinned several times. At the time, I didn't know to object to the gentleman pinning each pant leg separately. Later, when I picked the pants up and I had 3 pairs of pants with 5 separate leg lengths, I realized the error of his ways. This is, to be brief, completely unacceptable. Considering that the entire experience was frustrating, and not one to give second chances to service providers that make serious mistakes, I've since done my research and found a better tailor that was able to fix the unevenly hemmed pants. It was more expensive, but it was done properly the first time. Ultimately the craftsmanship was fine and the price was decent, but the attention to detail was severely lacking to the point that I would not trust Merrifield Tailoring Shop with any of my tailoring needs in the future. Dry cleaning only might be a better bet. read more

This place is actually on Strawberry Lane, next to the Four Sisters restaurant. I'm taking time out to write a review because every time I go in there, I'm greeted with a friendly smile and they speak English. They make me feel welcome, which isn't always the case when I try a new dry cleaner. Plus, if I drop my shirts off before 1pm, I get them after 4pm the next day! Can't beat the prices either. Love this place! read more

I brought a suit in for alterations and found the service to be wonderful. I just needed the jacket tapered in and the legs cuffed a bit. She originally told me I'd have to pick up the suit on a Monday but I told her I'd need it a few days earlier on Thursday (because I always like to wait till the last minute on these things) She said it'd be no problem for no extra charge which was a great relief. All the alterations came out to a little less than 50 bucks and the suit fits wonderfully at this point. read more

So this review is biased because I am Korean, and I can't help but love the cute Korean family who runs this shop. But even so, they have done an outstanding job every time! Last year, my dog was sick and threw up all over my snow white comforter. I had not gotten it cleaned before, so I was nervous since I got it in Korea. I took it in, and they were able to read the tag (written in Korean) and clean it via the special instructions. And they even gave me a discount! They're friendly, professional, priced fairly, and have a great turn around time. I've also gotten pants hemmed there, and it's on par with my mom who I always rely on when I'm at home. read more

This place is so great! I needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed AND altered the week of the wedding and they were able to get it done in 4 days for me. They were also open on a Sunday which was very convenient when under a time crunch, not many tailoring shops are! It turned out perfect!! Prices are reasonable and staff is SO nice. read more

The best dry cleaner I have ever used. Great customer service with always a smile! Quick turn time when needed. Talented tailoring service at all times open. Fair pricing! You will love this place! read more

This review applies to the location on Strawberry Lane. I'm really satisfied with my experience here. I purchased two Groupons to get alterations done. With two $30 Groupons I was able to get all of the following done: 1 pair of jeans (taken in, shortened, with original hem), 2 dress shirts (taken in), and 2 pairs of suit pants (1 lengthened and 1 taken in and shortened). I only ended up paying $34 ($94 with two $30 Groupons). This seems really inexpensive to me because it cost me almost $50 to get 1 pair of dress pants taken in elsewhere. I've picked up jeans and one of the shirts (dropped the other 3 items off today) and I am surprised with how well they turned out. I will continue to use this tailor for alterations in the future even though it is out of the way for me. read more

Although i haven't been here for a while (because I moved), I try to take them my business whenever I head over to my mom's house... Very courteous Very professional Very good at what they do I even took my wedding dress here to fix I'm going to try his wife's shop - I think it's called Ann's Tailoring... I live in Burke and apparently Ann's Tailoring is in Fairfax - either way, they are EXCELLENT at what they do - read more

This is a family-run establishment and I was so impressed by their teamwork, honesty, kindness, speed and workmanship. The location is super convenient too! They did next day and same day alterations for me on a event dress. read more

I have been to the Strawberry Lane location numerous times and sometimes it was a major emergency! I had to have a dress for a wedding fixed and I had completed forgotten about it till the week of! I brought it in and had to have the hem shortened and the bodice taken in. It only cost me about $25 I believe and they got it finished in 2 days! Whenever I come back to have jeans, pants, and dresses hemmed, the lovely couple who run the shop always remember me and they are very sweet. The shop has 2 little fitting rooms where you can try on the clothes and they measure it for you. They work super fast and do quality work! read more
