High Price, Disappointing Results…read more I'm sharing my experience with this tailor in a neutral and factual way, hoping it will be helpful to others. Before coming here, I had visited two other tailors but chose not to leave my coat with them for various reasons. I mentioned this to the tailor. After reading the positive reviews, I decided to give this place a try. When I arrived, the tailor spoke at length about his experience and the places he had worked around the world. The price quoted was $75 plus tax, which is higher than what other tailors had offered, but I decided to proceed based on his confidence and self-presentation. I requested a sleeve shortening and specifically asked for the stitching to match the original. When I picked up the coat, I was disappointed. The sleeve stitching was not straight and did not match the original style, which was surprising given the emphasis on his 20+ years of experience. Overall, my experience was not very positive, especially considering the higher price compared to other tailors.

For almost $100, I took a dress worth $1000, and they made it look worth less than $100…read more Initially, my dress had looked something like the first image. My only issue with the dress, was that it was too long in the front. I asked to keep the dress long, but that I needed the front a bit shorter so I could walk without tripping. I had expected the altered result to look something like the second image. However, the dress came out with an added seam and unevenly long. The dress itself and the tail were now two different parts, and the dress flowed completely differently. Not to mention, despite the ends of the dress being trimmed, there was two added seams making something that looked like a belt pattern in the middle of the torso. Nothing was mentioned about this, and it looked terribly odd only in the front and with a backless dress. When visiting, the change rooms were dark and had almost no light, minus the light shining in from the other side of the curtain. I had brought in my dress 4 days before needing it. However, on the day of needing it, a few hours before I was supposed to pick it up, I was asked to come in again because he had forgotten to mark the dress. I trusted Silk Tailor with a dress I had genuinely loved so much, and had needed for an important event, and now I'm left with a dress I feel ashamed to wear to such a special occasion. I'm planning to completely replace the dress if I can. I'm not sure if the images are posting properly, there should be 8 of them. They might not be in order as well, so just go by photo caption.

The kind and patient man running the show also did up my zipper for me after I struggled for like 20 minutes. They asked me exactly what I wanted and made sure the service I requested was clear..The material of the fancy jumpsuit I needed hemmed was complex and painstaking and the price was still really reasonable.

Very nice lady running the store, but unfortunately for what I paid the quality of work wasn't…read moregreat. I came in with two dress pants to be hemmed on the bottom (as they were too long) and the inner part of the leg as there was a hole, this was all $25. I noticed the hemming on the bottom was the right length for both pants, but the hemming was not straight at all and was messy (saw other reviews say the same thing); there were even threads loose. I just washed the pants, and the whole stitching on one pant leg came out and the pant leg is no longer hemmed anymore. Now I need to get it fixed again. Overall, not the best work, but the lady is very kind and works hard.

A simple task, but done neatly nonetheless. I am a frequent vintage shopper and love 50s era shirtdresses for work. I'd found a lovely Neiman Marcus at goodwill that was soft as butter but the proportions were off in a way that I wasn't really able to quantify and I wasn't wearing it. I took it in and he fit me on the spot. I largely let him use his discretion to modernize the fit (as he also makes made to measure items and I was confident in his eye.) $50 and 10 days later I picked it up. The hem had was raised about 18" and thoughtfully recut to be slightly lower in the sides. A personal choice that he immediately explained and offered to switch to something more conventional but it was a lovely tweak. It was taken in perfectly through the torso, and the sleeves had been dismantled and rebuilt in a more flattering fashion. Wonderful. Love this guy.

I called him when I made the discovery and voiced my concern. He said that he used the fabric that was in the bag and that there was no mistake. I told him I have a photo of the original fabric but he was adamant that I was in the wrong. I'm very disappointed as he was highly recommended. Had he admitted the mistake and offered to correct it, that would have been a goodwill gesture and I would have accepted it. Sadly, that wasn't the case. If I could give a 0 rating, I would. I will not be going back again nor would I recommend this service to anyone.
