I have Multiple Sclerosis so safety was a major concern. We discussed the length that I would feel comfortable walking and dancing. The material was a very delicate lace. The second dress for the same occasion but the material was a silky texture. She suggested a change for the front portion of the collar. Her input was appreciated. I had lost weight and with the suggestion she made was something I would never thought was possible. I went to pickup the dresses. I was nervous, not sure that it would fit well. I was extremely excited when I tried on the first lace dress. She adjusted the zipper that I had trouble closing. It closed without any problem. The length of the dress was perfection. She is a true professional. The second silky dress was unbelievable. The front collar was very subtle and classic, exactly my style of dressing. Irene made me and my husband very comfortable. Her business is extremely busy nevertheless Irene made me feel like a priority. Here staff is efficient and everyone is greeted immediately and helped with their specific needs. I was referred to her from the salesperson who assisted me with my purchase of my dress. I thanked Irene and sincerely stressed that I would be sharing my experience of her professionalism and attentiveness to all my friends. Thank you Irene for giving me a wonderful experience. You have an outstanding business and I will send you a photo of your finished product.

E.g. I paid $8 for a hem, she charges $16 for the same brand of jeans but in a different color. Fixing the back of a blazer costs $20 and Irene charges $45. I used to bring my clothing here bc I lived nearby and suspected I was paying more. I now go to a tailor in Short Hills and paying less for the same quality of work.

After visiting a couple shops nearby I looked up local tailors via the ol' Yelp app and Cranford Custom Tailors showed up a couple blocks away. I visited them and expected them to make me wait a while or even days to get the bag fixed. However, the staff was super friendly and kind, taking my bag and fixing it in minutes! They only charged a few bucks and I was on my way in under 10 minutes. The shop itself is not huge, but it has rooms for you to try your clothes on and there were tons of suits and clothes hanging around waiting for pick up, so clearly this business is well regarded. This makes me feel very good about coming back for my future tailoring needs.

They said that it was ready, but I never got a call. Upon picking up the dress they charged $100 for the alterations. The dress is not too intricate, and I thought the price was a little steep. Staff was all very friendly and it is conveniently located in the center of town.

This woman is mildly competent but not very nice unless you are Portuguese or speak Portuguese or…read moredont really care about price. She is ridiculously expensive, everything takes forever, she never notifies the customer when the work is done, and doesn't listen to what the customer wants. The worst part is that, unlike most dressmakers/tailors, she will not give a price for an item if it's more than a hem. And then, worse yet, if you get an estimate, she doesn't abide by it all. One day it was $25 to fix a shirt and I declined. I subsequently changed my mind and took it back, then it was $30. When I picked it up, it was $35!! Plus she removes tags when I told her not to and she throws away extra material that I asked her to keep. Last visit, she totally damaged one of dresses. I'm done with this dishonest business. Buyer beware.

I went to D to tailor a bridesmaid dress about 4 years ago. The dress came in late from the bridal…read morestore and was twice as big as it should of been (seriously, I could have fit 2 people in the dress), so I was in a panic. I found D online, and I'm so glad I did! She basically rebuilt the dress for me and it fit like a glove. She had to take out some of the ribbing and cut inches off the bottom - a task that she completed quickly and efficiently. She was very thorough with her fittings too- I went in 2 times after the initial fitting to make sure things were on the right track. Last year I made the mistake of having a bridesmaid dress altered at the bridal shop where I purchased it, and regretted not going back to D. This upcoming year I'm in another wedding and will definitely be contacting D again!

D's speciality is really hemlines, as she'll tell you, when she starts talking about her bootstrap…read morebeginning at F.I.T. I'm a short girl who generally finds clothes are all three different sizes, making bridesmaid dreses a nightmare. D gets short girls, since some 60+ years ago she was also an even shorter girl than I am. The bridesmaid dress I brought D was truly a nightmare from an alterations perspective. The other bridesmaid who is different sizes literally had her whole dress taken apart. The dress had several layers of pouffy along the bottom, and D made sure the pouffy was still there, and as a short girl I was awfully grateful that my dress was the right length. You'd think shortening a dress would be easy, but I've had a lot of people screw that up over the years... On the flip side, D does all of this out of her house, you change in the bathroom she and her husband use. It's not the most professional or polished set up. She also pushed and talked me out of what I thought needed to be done with the bodice to make the dress work, and it looks bad because of it. The bodice really needed (badly) to be shortened for my torso (the bodice ended below my butt), and the metal pieces inside the bodice needed to be removed or adjusted since the bust stuck out several inches. Instead, she massively shortened the straps, leaving me with no collarbone area, which looked really weird. She also insisted on leaving a giant lump along the side where she took in the bodice, instead of making a true dart to hide the work, or taking apart the side of the bodice and putting the seam inside the dress. When I brought her the dress I had a month before the wedding, and I was having a hard time finding a tailor I trusted with such a complicated and timely job, so when she finished I didn't really feel like I had time to find another seamstress. She also charged me $80. Considering my last two bridesmaid dress alterations were $30 and $50 (a true rush), this seemed pretty high. I will strongly consider going back to D for getting a dress or hemline shortened, and for basic repairwork. Her turn around time is impressively fast--hours or a couple days, depending on the job if you're in need of something fast. But I would seriously warn people away for bodice work.
