I came here a few weeks ago with an old suit that I had hanging around in my closet. It was a mess in terms of fit- too baggy, ill-fitting jacket, etc. I was seen right away and my suit was done by the next day, which was nice. For sub-$200, they re-did the inseam in the pants, hemmed the cuffs, took in the jacket on the sides, and re-did the shoulders. The suit looks amazing and when I wore it to an event several days later, I received a number of compliments. I will be bringing in several shirts to be tailored- really impressed with the work. The prices are slightly higher than other tailors, but I thought in terms of "value" vs. absolute "price." Nothing feels better than wearing tailored or custom clothes. read more

I brought my dress here to be shortened and taken in and a week later when I picked it up it didn't fit at all - it was skin tight. The guy in charge Zeke was incredibly rude and wouldn't give me my full refund even though they made the dress too small and unwearable. When I dropped it off with the pins on, it came off super easily. The day of pickup, I didn't hear anything so I called at 2pm. They said the dress wasn't ready and I needed to come between 5pm and 5:30pm. At pickup, I couldn't get it off and it had to be ripped from my body with help from someone working there. I'm going to the wedding alone so can't wear a dress I will be stuck in. He said he could fix it but not now because they were closing so it won't be ready until 9am the next day and my flight is at 7am. Keep in mind, they wouldn't let me pick the dress up before 5pm. I literally paid extra to have it be done today and he won't even give me money back because he "did what I asked him to". I said "so you don't care that the dress doesn't fit me then" and he straight up said "No". They don't provide a good service at all and admit to your face they don't care. read more

I called in the morning for an alteration to my suit pants. They did them the same day and I was out of the door in 10 minutes. Really great staff! Athena was awesome! read more

Local gem! Couldn't be happier with my experience. I needed a bridesmaid dress altered in one day, and they did an amazing job. So friendly, fast, and the quality and price were perfect. It's also a really cool looking place. I'd definitely recommend. read more

beware of the tailoring here. my dry cleaning service revealed the shoddy alteration they performed here with my suits. Literally showed me what a patchwork mess it was. For the price I paid, this is unacceptable. read more

Great tailor, my pants had a rip and now they look like it never happened! The only thing is that they said it would take a week and it ended up being around two weeks. But if you're not in a rush, no complaints read more

I can't thank the team at Mid City Tailoring enough! I had a wedding dress 911 and they accommodated the morning of my wedding! My dress was perfectly altered and stunning. Everyone thought I purchased a custom gown, but no, it was their expert tailoring. Thank you for saving the day! read more

Mid City Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - New York, New York

I was a little worried about dropping off my bridesmaid dress to get an alteration only days before the wedding, but Mid City Tailoring saved the day. I dropped my dress off on a Friday morning, and got it back on Tuesday afternoon! It was a small alteration (needed to get a stiff zipper fixed) but I really appreciated that they were able to get it done quickly. Once I got it back, I tried the dress on there to make sure that it was fixed, which it was. Also, it's so nice that you can text their staff with any questions you have. I texted them to inquire about how long the repair would take, and they got back to me within minutes. They also texted me to let me know the dress was ready. I'll definitely come here in the future if I need anything else tailored. read more

Came here for a last minute hem to some pants and these folks were so nice. Conveniently located (drop off shoe repairs or get a haircut in the same building) and able to do next day turnaround - with a fee but they recommended ways in which I could get a discount (who does that?!). read more

$60 to let out pants an inch on a same day alteration and these clowns take it in. Gross incompetence

Mid City for the win! I came in for a bizarre last minute request. Needed to get a fake ruby gem stitched onto a piece of headwear for Comic Con. Of course I left it until the last minute, and of course my needles at home didn't work for the job! Popped in first thing in the morning and the lady at the counter was an immediate life saver. They fixed everything within 10 minutes for a very reasonable price. Easy to find, larger than I expected, and will absolutely have my business in the future! Clean, professional, organized, efficient, friendly, and efficient. Best tailor around! read more

Recently had my suit tailored here. High quality work, quick turnaround and great service.

This place is a hidden gem in Manhattan! Prompt same day service with excellent results. I always wait until last minute to do things so they now have a new customer for life! read more

Really horrible experience. I brought a dress that was too short and a touch tight. I just wanted to get it turned in to a two piece or see what other options I had..:.the man there just told me how I was "too big" for the dress and how my hips were just too wide to fix anything with my dress. I can't express how upsetting this was. AVOID AVOID AVOID. read more

I dropped off several items here for tailoring and they requested two weeks to tailor the item, which I thought was fair given the work required. One hour before I was supposed to pick up the items, I received a text message letting me know that the items were not ready. I came to pick the items up the following week and it was clear that items were tailored in an extreme rush with very poor attention to detail. The tailor clearly could not recall the basic alterations we aligned on. For example, the outside label on the jeans I dropped off were stitched on backwards. A silk shirt I had asked to be tailored to 3/4 length was tailored so that it was short-sleeved and could no longer be buttoned. Another item looked like it had been stitched in a mere two to three minutes very quickly. When confronted these errors, instead of apologizing and offering a discount or some other method to rectify the issue, they continued to proclaim that I needed to pay in full because the tailor did the work. Apparently doing the tailoring in line with what you aligned on with the tailor in their mind was not required. BEWARE! Do not trust this business with any expensive or high-quality garments. They have very poor quality control and attention to detail. read more

Recently had the lining and shell of a vintage suede leather jacket repaired here. I had blown a hole in the armpit of my jacket by lifting my arms too quickly (dancing). I came by the store hesitant about making sure I could find someone qualified to look after leather. The lady at the desk was extremely kind and helpful - reassuring me that they had done similar work before. Not two weeks later I had my jacket back good as new!! read more

My bridesmaid dress came back looking worse than it had when I dropped it off - the darts became uneven, bunched up, and no longer sat on my chest correctly, and the tailor never took in the waist so the dress basically looked like a triangle when it's supposed to be an a-line. It was horrible. The tailor basically said "Sorry, it is what it is, I can't do anything else," so I had a friend from the costuming business redo all the tailoring in two days. I will not be going back to this tailor and would not recommend them for substantial dress alterations. read more

This is my favorite tailor in all of the city. Look no further, all your needs taken care of in a timely and affordable fashion. The staff is beyond friendly and helpful. I've been here a few times, but have already established a first name basis relationship. I most recently had a tweed suspender dress tailored to be more form fitting and when Mid City Tailoring was finished, it fit me like a glove! read more

These tailors are inexperienced and unwilling to help solve an issue. I do not suggest anyone use them, no matter how small a job. I came here to have a bridesmaids dress hemmed and brought in on the sides and bust. The hem was done sloppily and clearly very quickly, without a lot of care or patience put into it. The sides were brought in but more so on one side than the other, so the dress itself sat lopsided on my body. The biggest issue, the bust, seems to be too much for this team to handle as it took two subsequent visits and they still were unable to fix it. I am confident with a pair of scissors and safety pins I could do a better job than they did. This was a simple tailoring job that is still unresolved $105 later. read more

I looked everywhere for an inexpensive (but trustworthy) place to hem my new jeans, and Mid-City delivered. They did a great job keeping the original hemline, making the pants look like they weren't shortened 5 inches! I paid $25 and they were ready the next day. read more

Very unfriendly- I'd say quite rude actually . Asked for a rough price estimate on the phone, for a simple skirt hemming. Wouldn't give me even a range and yelled and hung up on me. Definitely will not go there, if they treat my skirt the same way as they treat their customers.... read more

Went in around 3pm to have a jumpsuit hemmed and inquired if it could be ready by 5pm the next day. They informed me they could do it for an extra $15 rush fee which I thought was more than affordable for the quick turnaround. Mid City Tailoring exceeded my expectations by having my jumpsuit finished before 5pm THE SAME DAY. Received a perfect hem job in less than 2 hours for less than $50 so needless to say I will be returning with future business. read more

They did an awesome job on some last minute alterations I needed for a complicated, draped dress. Highly recommended!

Thanks so much! Tailor is a perfect fit, rushes my order and friendly too! Thanks guys!

They did such a great job and were very accommodating when I told them I needed my alteration expedited. Their location is also perfectly in the heart of midtown Manhattan. Good know there is a good tailor right near my place of work. read more

Needed a dress hemmed same day for my birthday. I dropped it off at 8:30 am and picked it up at 2:00. Pricing was reasonable given that it was a same day alteration and that the type fabric (lots of sequins) was hard to work with. They did an excellent job and I wore the dress that night! read more

The absolute worst. I brought two cashmere sweaters here for reweaving, which they advertise. The man who took my work in looked them over and gave me a price and I put down $75. When I returned, they had sewn the sweaters with regular thread, which is not only not reweaving, but also something I could have done myself for free. The man I picked them up from was then unbelievably rude when I objected to the work, telling me they only reweave suits, not sweaters, and "no one does that." I told him no one told me that they only did suits, and that I had sweaters at home that were rewoven by Alice Zotta. He told me she's dead. Then he asked what I wanted him to do, cut his hand? (I don't even know what that means.) What he should have done was refund all of my money, not act like it was amazing that he wasn't charging me the balance. I had to walk out of the store because I was treated so rudely and was so angry. I got on the phone with Alice Zotta directly after (lesson learned!) and now I'll have to pay again to see if they can salvage the sweaters. Maybe there are other things they do well, but don't bring your business to people who have zero concept of customer service and act as if their shoddy work is your problem. read more

The register guy (owner?) is as rude as the other reviews say. They are super overpriced and don't have things ready on time. Plus they proudly display a photo of Bill O'Reilly... I feel bad for the woman who does the actual tailoring - seems like a gross place to work. read more

I came in early this week for a gown that needed to be hemmed. The gown was nothing crazy (jersey material - not lace/beaded) and they charged me $95!!!! I think this place is meant for suits/clothing items of that nature, because no seamstress I've used in the past has charged this much. This location was convenient to my work, but I will not be coming back. read more

If there was an option for 0 stars, I'd pick it. This is a great place to get your clothes tailored if you like throwing money away. I got 2 suits done by Mid City for $300. Plain and simple - Go here if you have money to waste. Otherwise, go anyplace else. read more

Save your money and time!!!!! I went there to repair my jeans with denim surgeon (which shares the same space). Their store closes before office hours, which was difficult for me to pick up with a full-time job. When i finally had time to pick it up, the staff basically implied that it could have been donated away because they had no room to keep a pair of jeans past 30 days! They defaulted by saying there is a disclaimer on the receipt that indicates they don't keep your items past 30 days, in which i questioned why they wouldn't call me to notify that they would do such an unheard of thing prior! Tiffany, who worked there went through each inventory bin and there must have been 100 pairs of old jeans that were never picked up. The RUDE and OBNOXIOUS owner basically said out loud for her to stop wasting her time and assigned other work for her to do while I was waiting to see if they can locate my jeans. I've never witnessed such poor business ethic and integrity. His attitude was literally disgraceful. I would not encourage doing business with such negative people. There's an abundance of quality and personable tailors in NYC - Tiffany, you should find yourself a better job employer elsewhere! read more
