A few days before my daughter's sweet I was stuck with a dress that didn't fit me. Not knowing what to do I decided to give this place a shot. So glad I stumbled across this place! Walked in and the lady was very compassionate to my situation and was willing to help me and have my dress ready in less then a week. The day I picked up my dress it was ready and looked just as expected. Today I returned to pick up my express jacket. The sleeve stitching was loosing and instead of buying a new one, this place left it just right. Pricing is highly reasonable. read more

For all of the tailor shops in Kearny, NJ this is the most expensive and least professional I have encountered thus far. I was in a time crunch and needed a blazer slightly tailored on the arms and then pants tailors on the length, which was done in 2 days time very well done. However, I had brought another blazer with me which she wanted to adjust the back and arms for which is fine, but it has taken OVER A MONTH and I still havent gotten it back. After 1 1/2 weeks I went back for it, she said it wasnt done. I gave her a pass. After another week, it still wasn't done. Then the 3rd time I went back (over 3 weeks after I had given it to her) its STILL NOT DONE. She said "Oh sorry, I've been busy" each and every time... it's absurd, especially for the price of it. I gave her the 3 pieces July 1st (got two back July 3rd) and now expecting to pick up my blazer tomorrow, August 2nd. I should have never paid her in advance after picking up the 2 pieces because the complacency in holding my blazer hostage is ridiculous. I am never going back. read more

Going to wedding got my pants gave me wrong pants then she's closed ruined my wedding don't go there

Had a wedding to go to in 2 weeks. Had not worn my nice 3 piece Kenneth Cole suit in years. Yeah it was that type of wedding were you needed a 3 piece. Anyways tried it on and it was a little big on me. Called Macys in Newport to get an estimate to do some alterations and I might as well just bought a cheap 3 piece suit. Anyways started calling other places around town and at least some prices were not that crazy, but some places were also swamped with work and I would need all 3 pieces altered to look nice and fitted. Started googling for more places and saw Lucinda's on yelp pop up and even though there are no reviews it was very close since its right across from St. Cecilia's Church. Called and there was a slight language barrier since she is more Spanish fluent, but nothing to be lost at communicating. Anyways she told me even though she was busy to just pass by and she could take a look at the suit and be able to see how much work would need to be done. Passed by and she was very accommodating took my measurements and started pinning up my suit and just from that the entire suit changed and fit my body properly. She also added other suggestions on what other things she should do to make it look properly fit if I wanted to go the extra mile on extra alterations. She did that to one side of the suit and I was like wow that looks so much better. I initially was just looking to have the jacket taken in and have the sleeves shorten since the pants I would just use a belt on and the vest had that back belt strap to adjust. Once she pinned the entire suit and showed me how much better the entire 3 pieces altered would truly look like I was amazed. I asked how long it would take since now it would be all three pieces and she guaranteed she would make sure it would be done two days before the wedding (around 10 day turnaround). Of course the next part was how much since other places were only quoting me on the jacket getting taken in and shortening the arm lengh not including if the jacket would need even more alterations once they pinned it up to see how it looks. Anyways the total price for all of this was soooo fair and that included the jacket getting taken in and the arms not only cut length wise, but also width wise. The pants getting shortened and more narrow. Last the vest getting taken in. She also said that the way she was going to do it was to also hide some of the extra fabric inside. That way if in the future it needed to be let out a bit she could instead of me having to buy a new suit which I think was just great on her part. She said it would have been a little more expensive if she had to cut the length of the jacket and vest, but since it was more about having it taken in I was able to save on that. Anyways her price was very fair just the price for the jacket alone and she was doing more things to it like narrowing the arm width was like around $30 less than the other places I called and gave me a price for just getting it taken in and shortening the length of the arms. I can tell she is very fair in her prices and has a lot of repeat customers. One guy came in asking about his suit jacket and she actually recommend for him to buy a new one because all the work it would need was not worth it for him to spend. Bottom line when I picked up my suit it looked great all 3 pieces. I even brought another suit for her to do. This time it's for my brother. He is shorter than me and I still have a new suit from when I was his age and it fits him but is very long on him. She took his measurements and once again gave a fair price for the jacket and pants and can't wait to see how it will turn out. read more

I went to Lucinda's this past holiday weekend. I needed last minute alterations & thought it wouldn't be possible. The owner/tailor, Mrs. Gomes, was very nice & accommodating. I was a bit worried because I was having a delicate lace top altered & I had never used their services before. She tailored my top & a pair of pants by the next day & did an AMAZING job! I'm glad I tried this place & will continue to use their services in the future. Excellent work & customer service! Thank you so much Mrs. Gomes. read more

I stopped by a different tailor shop prior to going to Lucinda's and boy oh boy was Lucinda's extra blocks down the street worth it. The lady there was extremely talented and warm hearted. She took on my request to get by pants tailored and had a very fair price. I even asked how much it would cost to do a rush order and the price was still very affordable. She did an amazing job and I can't thank her more for making time to measure my pants and squeeze me into her busy schedule. I highly recommend this location! read more
