They did a very nice job on a suit jacket. Would use again for sure. Thanks. Nice job.

I had my wedding dress alterations done here and I felt I was in great hands the entire time! Simon was very attentive to the details of my dress, how I felt in it, and really made the dress fit me perfectly. I wore the dress for almost 12hours and was incredibly comfortable. I didn't feel rushed at all during our appointments and my dress was done a few weeks prior. He even showed my sisters how to bustle my dress. Very happy I went here! read more

Great place to go if you want to be treated like dirt. I was very polite to this man. However he is a man with little emotional regulation. The quality of the work was fine, but not amazing. Simon was very rude and unprofessional. It got to the point where I felt really uncomfortable. Examples of this including Simon raising his voice, mocking and belittling me, and extreme gaslighting. The skills he poses aren't rocket science. They are common in Buffalo and there are plenty of other businesses that offer them. I wont be back read more

Another zipper issue, another jacket! Again, he fixed it while I waited, in between other customers, for a mere $10. And, when I asked if I was doing something to create these zipper issues, he very kindly showed me what I was most likely doing wrong. Someday he'll retire, and whatever will I do then?! read more

I am in a wedding at the end of the month. I got the suit back and it was pretty good. I stopped in to get some alterations done to the suit and Simon was terrific. He is an incredibly competent individual. He can easily gauge what is feasible just by looking at a garment. Works fast and is very communicative. Honestly he is a bit on the pricey side but for the quality of work you can't beat that at all. Unrelated to his services but it is worth mentioning that he can come off a bit forward and or short. I didn't take too much offense to as I just counted it as a New York ( no shade but the hospitality isn't the same as the Midwest/ south). More importantly I appreciate his hard work he does to meet your expectations. read more

There are not enough words in the English language to adequately say how amazing my experience was. Start to finish I felt comfortable and listened to. The work he did on my wedding dress was immaculate and his attention to detail is incredible. He also helped us find the correct type of suit for my husband and tailored a groomsmen's suit wonderfully. If you're looking for a high-quality, honest and local vendor at affordable prices, look no further. read more

Fast & quality service. Able to get a dress hemmed within the same week for a last minute wedding!

I cannot say enough good things about Simon. His professionalism, precision, and dedication to his craft make him the area's best tailor (in my opinion). Coming from a family of seamstresses from Ukraine who take great pride in their work, this says a lot! I will definitely be going back for any of my tailoring needs. Simon is brilliant and a joy to work with too! Thank you Simon! read more

I've been here 5-6 times and can attest Simon is very good at what he does. Tailoring here is not cheap, but his prices are commensurate to the quality of his work. Both the cost and quality are high. That said, I can also attest that he is a massive jerk. As others have commented, he's borderline rude, to the point where every time I've gone in, I am always made to feel like my visit is an inconvenience to him. God forbid you ask him a question (!), or try to explain what you're looking to have done with your garment. He's exceptionally impatient, easily irritable, and engages in nothing that remotely resembles customer service. Another reviewer commented that typically, all that matters in a tailor is the quality of their work, and while that's usually true, I agree with that reviewer that there is a threshold of civility below which you should just avoid a business. That's what I'll be doing from now on... avoiding this place. read more

My maid of honor called to ask about my alterations. When I went in, it was a completely different story from what she was told and I was talked down to and made to feel incredibly stupid. The owner told my MOH that it would be "No problem" to alter my dress, yet I was informed that it was going to be "incredibly difficult"- even before he saw my dress! I did get it altered there, because really I had no choice. It was 3 months out and everyone else was booked. The price was good, but the customer service was not. I wish I had chosen anywhere else.... Including David's Bridal. Everyone who says he's amazing... I'm glad you all had wonderful experiences. He had me bawling at our first meeting. I hope no one else has that experience. read more

There is not a better tailor out there. I used to live in the area and I was spoiled by how close this was to my house. Now I schlep from Clarence because they are still the best. From taking up pants, to complete reconstruction of a bridesmaid dress, I've had them so it all and they've never disappointed. Highly recommended. read more

Simon did an amazing job altering my wedding dress! He is very knowledgeable! He knew exactly how to fix each and every little detail I wanted changed! He was very patient throughout the whole process! Simon also worked with me to create a bustle I liked! Very talented in altering wedding dresses! read more

Simon is by far the best tailor in the Buffalo area. I have been seeing him for over 20 years and his workmanship is impeccable. I have read some earlier reviews and, yes, he has opinions and a deep knowledge about what looks good and what works. Personally, I appreciate that trait and I value his expertise as a tailor. He has always been unfailingly friendly and kind whenever I have visited. Recently, the work that he did on my college-age son's suit was incredible. After Simon's tailoring, it looked like the suit was made to measure. read more

Not only is Simon extremely talented at what he does, he is a very intelligent, compassionate man that cares about his family and his skill. He tailored my wedding dress perfectly, and I am so grateful to have found his establishment. Thank you, Simon! read more

Simon tailored my wedding dress that was almost two sizes too big with a lot of beading around the bust that was going to be incredibly tedious for him to alter, and he did an amazing job! He was so efficient as he only had about 6 weeks to work with and I was able to go in for 3 separate fittings over that timeframe. I have taken other garments there in the past and each time he makes alterations they always come out perfect! He has a wonderful personality too! My wedding day was perfect and I'm so thankful I chose his business to help make my special day even better! read more

Great tailor. He gives you very honest and real feedback and works very hard! He will give his very honest opinion. What's nice about him is that he won't tell you what he thinks you need to hear to get a quick buck but how he actually feels. Prices were on the high side but he got my suits tailored in a very quick period when I needed it most! Definitely check him out if you're in the area! read more

10/10 recommend. Very knowledgeable and made the entire process of altering a bridesmaid dress very easy. Will definitely be back!

I ordered a kimono-style jacket online. It fit everywhere but the armholes needed to be lowered. I made one very small cut in the arm hole and then realized this was a job beyond my skills. Was recommended to go to Prestige. I explained the situation to the man at the counter and he acted like I was trying to hide the fact that I had cut the garment, even though I told him outright. He proceeded to lecture me in an extremely rude and condescending manner. I took my garment and left. I would never spend money at a service business after being spoken to like that. read more

A while ago, I posted a review of a tailor shop on NFB. It was a good review, but I was a little irked when he called me after reading my review and challenged me to find someone cheaper than him. Soooo, when the hem fell out of one of the pants he did for me, a month later, I opted not to take them back to him. Eventually I forgot the pants were in my closet until I was packing to move to N. Bflo. That's how I ended up at Prestige. I found Simon to be very friendly. I took the pants in on a Friday, told him I was in no rush to have the pants back and he had them done on Wednesday. I knew they were done because he sent me a text, which I appreciated. It only cost me $5 to have the pants repaired. There aren't very many tailors left in Buffalo, so its my advice you bookmark this one, when you need one, you're going to want a good one. Bring cash or a check book though, he doesn't take card. read more

This place was a godsend. We had been to three tailors before coming to Prestige. Basically we were told that they could not or would not do the alterations to my wedding dress, which was extremely frustrating knowing that these were professionals. However after all of the frustration we ended up at Prestige, which was truly a blessing. I showed the owner my dress and explained what I was looking for, to which he replied, "yes, no problem...go put on the dress." Not only did he show me exactly what he would do, but he was EXTREMELY knowledgable about tailoring wedding dresses. He cracked a few jokes, and had my mom and I walking out so relieved that we had found the most trusted tailor in Buffalo. Do not waste your time at Leena's or Maurices's...head to Prestige! read more

This man does such great work! This is my second time taking things to Prestige Tailoring and I'm very impressed. I asked him to take in the waist on some jeans, repair a pretty massive rip in my favorite pair of jeans, and take in the waist on a dress I had. My items were done on time and they look exceptional! I can't even tell where he stitched to make he alterations. He is very courteous and kind also. I'm so pleased and highly highly recommend him! read more

I was a little skeptical since my blazer wasn't made here but I went in here anyways. Small store on Colvin. The owner is the tailor. He is italian and has a pretty good idea what he is doing. The turn around time to get my suit blazer altered was less than 5 business days which is really good! Pretty nomial on charges as well. To get my alterations cost me $25. The only downside is that the guy is a little condescending in his tone while you explain what you want to get done. He tried to give in his "expert" input but since you're paying you might as well get your way. I had to be a little stern with what I wanted done but I'm overall happy with the blazer fit. Excited to wear the suit now! read more

Great place. The owner does terrific work. Not cheap, but worth it.

I bought a coat with a faulty zipper (one of those "have to have it" moments). I searched for local tailors and found this shop. Simon is professional and honest. He gave me two options on how he could fix the zipper. Although slightly overpriced, his work is flawless and worth every penny. My coat was ready within two days and two years later the zipper is as strong as it'll ever be. I have sent friends and family, they too have been equally satisfied with his work. Five stars! read more

I'm very happy with the alterations done on my dresses. I cant wait to wear one to work on Monday! Simon was professional, my dresses were ready for pick up on the day he stated they would be ready, and his work is meticulous. I liked the text message I received stating my clothes are ready or pick up. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer and I will recommend Prestige Tailoring to all of my family and friends. read more

I didn't get a good feeling from the curt, dismissive person I talked to on the phone, but based on the generally positive reviews I still took my suit jacket down to the shop. I should have trusted my first impression because the guy behind the counter was so smug, condescending, and rude that I walked out. Instead of answering simple questions he talked down to me and spewed nonsense. 2 examples: My jacket was a bit too large so he asked if I had tried a smaller size. I said I had but it bunched up too much. His response was that I could buy a giant jacket and it wouldn't bunch at all. So wise. Then I asked if the sleeves and arm holes could be made more narrow. His absurd response was to find another jacket, open it, and let me know that the "arm holes are made out of holes" and so can't be moved. Another gem. Naturally, I won't be back and would advise against this shop. read more

My mom has been going to Simon for years; so anytime my sister and I ever needed anything done, we were heading to Prestige. When my sister got her wedding dress she made the mistake of getting alterations at the bridal boutique. When she saw how awful the alterations were, the dress was immediately brought to Simon. He took out all of the stitching and redid everything so perfectly, you couldn't tell how much damage the bridal boutique did to the dress. Prior to my wedding (I currently live in TX), I came back to Buffalo specially for my fittings with Simon. He worked around my schedule with when I came home and then the week of my wedding, he did my final fitting. He worked around the clock to ensure my gown was flawless days before my wedding. In addition, my train was so long he found a way to bustle it so that it wasn't destroyed and looked beautiful. I wouldn't go to anyone else besides Simon with alterations (especially bridal gowns and important dresses). His work is top notch and he takes pride in his detail. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Prestige Tailoring - Simon's work is incredible - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Prestige altered my wedding dress, and I have nothing but good things to say. My dress was a whole size too large all over and had some construction issues, and Simon was meticulous with his alterations, making sure that each area of the dress was perfect and up to my standards before moving on to the next issue. At a time when I was very stressed with my dress, he was very calm and professional and I ended up with a stunning dress that fit me perfectly. I've also used Simon for much easier projects (hemming simple things) and he's prompt and does a great job. Highly recommend! read more

Best experience I've ever had with a tailor! Simon made sure that I looked my best in my wedding dress and disucussed different options with me and how things would look. I had multiple fittings as he would do some work then have me try it on to make sure I was happy with everything. He made a bustle that was unique, complicated, and added more beauty to the dress. Warning: if you have your mind set on exactly what you want and are not open to opinions then this isn't the place for you. I loved that he helped guide me in this process. read more

Prestige Tailoring - The tailor made the bustle and it was gorgeous. Not like traditional ones. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Simon totally saved my wedding dress that was purchased and tailored by a dress shop in Williamsville! I Picked up my dress on a Tuesday the 21st (4 days before my wedding) and asked to try it on after only 1 fitting and was told by owner "oh no - you can't try it on - its all ready been pressed" I did push back a bit however had such a horrible experience already - I just wanted to get the damn dress and leave. Which is what I did - I picked up my $2500 wedding dress - and took it straight to a tailor, who was recommended to me by a co-worker who takes pretty much everything she owns here. Simon has a communication style of a Tailor who knows how to do his job and is honest about it! - My altered dress was too small around my thighs, too loose in my waist, wrong size cups were put in without even placing them on me first - the shoulders needed to be taking up, the Hem line was obviously uneven......It was a nightmare. Simon accommodated me right away and knowing my wedding was in just a few days - made my dress a priority. I ended up putting the dress on 5-6 times in a 3 day period to get the dress to a "wearable" point...... Thank heavens for the Prestige Tailoring - The cost was VERY reasonable given my situation and worth every penny. I will absolutely be back and make the 25 min drive to get here! Absolutely worth it - THANK YOU read more

Simon is the only actually competent tailor I've found in a 20 mile radius, and I don't trust my clothes with anyone else. Before Prestige, I dumped hundreds of dollars on others with high Yelp ratings or name recognition (Chayban, Maurice, etc.) and been amazed at their dismal failures. I brought in suits I'd had altered by other tailors and Simon immediately spotted problems--the same problems I'd noticed and brought up with those other tailors only to get a lot of hand-waving and "it's fine, it's fine". Well, people, it wasn't fine, and I lost a fairly expensive suit to shoddy work (and had to have Simon salvage others). If you're looking for a tailor, don't even bother checking the reviews for others. Consider: - Each trip I make to Prestige means almost half an hour of driving without traffic. - Prices aren't the cheapest around. - No credit cards--only cash or check accepted. - Simon is very matter-of-fact and not super charismatic, which can be intimidating for some. You're going to get the truth, not a pat on the back to make you feel better about a garment that would be best thrown away or donated to charity. - Wait times for consultations in the shop can be fairly lengthy (during my first visit I had to wait almost an hour to have Simon take a look at a jacket). Still totally worth it. Still five stars. read more

I tried calling here to inquire about tailoring for a wedding gown. The person I spoke with (did not give a name) was very short with me, did not offer any guidance or suggestions to my problem. I was disappointed after reading all of the great reviews on Yelp. read more

This is absolutely the best place you can take your clothing for tailoring, alterations, and repairs. I took my favorite pair of GAP jeans in to have a tear repaired at the knee. The patchwork and stitching was done with surgical precision and is now barely noticeable. Amazing, I'd refer this small shop to anyone. read more

Anytime I need tailoring, there is no question, I go to Simon at Prestige. Expert tailoring each and every time. I won't go anywhere else.

You get what you pay for...good tailoring isn't cheap but it is well worth the price. My wedding gown was fit perfectly! Thank you Simon!

My daughter needed several alterations to her prom dress. She needed cups in her bust, and the owner was so professional. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He contacted us to move the fitting because he had a family emergency and assured me her dress would be done before her prom. I picked it up yesterday and it's beautiful. The cups are perfect, the stitching on the bottom is impeccable. He made sure everyone was taken care of even while dealing with personal issues. I recommend him to all of my friends, but remember to bring cash or a check. But his prices are also reasonable for the work he does. He also did an amazing job on my wedding dress. Thank you. read more

I came to Simon after another tailor did very poor work on my wedding dress. We only had a small time frame before my wedding and he was able to get me in the day after I called. Not only did he fix the mistakes of the first tailor, he provided great insight on alterations would could make to improve the fit of the dress. Simon quite literally saved my wedding dress and I will remain a loyal customer. read more

Simon did a great job altering my beautiful lace wedding gown. He brought it up just enough, altered the sides, and put in a loop (instead of a bustle at his recommendation which looked great). He has an interesting sense of humor which I love. The price was very reasonable compared to what they normally charge in one of the dress shops. He pressed the dress before the wedding and it looked amazing. Would definitely recommend to a friend or family member. read more

Prestige tailored a bridesmaid dress for me, two flower girls dresses for two separate weddings and lastly, my wedding dress. The work was always done quickly and perfectly for a very reasonable price. I intend to use Prestige in the near future. read more

Truly one of the most condescending individuals I have even encountered. I can not comment on his tailoring ability or fees, as after about five minutes of talking with this gentlemen I walked out. In these situations in general, skill matters more than attitude, but there is some bottom line of interactions with people that in my estimation he just does not meet. read more
