Brought in my sport coat to have the sleeves shorten It took a week to do for $45 cash Happy with the results read more

I've been coming here since a fellow coworker suggested taking uniforms here if I wanted a quicker turnaround and better prices (than their competition tailor at a shop that's not too far from this location). Every time I've taken my uniforms here, I have been pleased with their work. When you give them a time frame of when you need something done by, they stay true to their word. Plus, you can't beat their prices, especially in today's economy. read more

I'm really happy that my best friend introduced me to New Town Tailor. I got my jeans hemmed and waist taken in. It took one week to get them done. I've never been to a tailor before, but I think that this was a pretty good timeframe. By coincidence these jeans were taken care of just in time for me to wear on a date! The waist was fit perfectly. Not too tight or too loose. The length was just as discussed, still baggy but not dragging. I will probably come back here again soon to get more clothes tailored rather than getting rid of the ones that don't fit me properly. read more

New Town Tailor does amazing work! The customer service is excellent and the quality of their alterations is top notch.

The tailor did excellent work. It took a bit longer than expected for all items to be finished, but all items were done well.

Took a few pairs of jeans to get hemmed, great service and the hems look amazing. Jeans fit at a perfect length, very friendly staff.

They were wonderful! Having lost a considerable amount of weight and not wanting to replace an entire wardrobe, I chose to have many items refitted to my new size and shape. A few jackets, vest, blouses and dresses and pants. I am so happy everything fits better than ever before. Each price was tailored perfectly to me. This was a huge savings considering the quality of the clothing to begin with. I took in a few pieces at a time and was very pleased each time I picked up. This wasn't cheap. However, I really saved a lot of money compared to replacing each piece. I will be back and do my winter wardrobe next. read more

The service is excellent and these lovely, sweet ladies sew beautifully! Everything I have taken to them has turned out amazingly well.

Best in town! I've been using the town tailor for many many years . Their skills are spot on! And when your in a pinch and need something quickly they will get it done. read more

I needed two shirts tailored to shorten the sleeves. I brought them in, told them what I needed and the day I needed them. $40, seemed a little high, but I was in a hurry. Shirts were ready when promised, and very professional work. I would definitely return here in the future. read more

Excellent service and work. I brought a formal dress in to be altered and they did an amazing job. Very reliable and communicative.

I'm new in town and I needed a couple of suit pants tailored by the next day, and didn't know where to go. I found this place on here and decided to give them a call. The lady said they could do it by next day, but I would have to take the pants over to them ASAP. I went, they did the fitting on me and left them there. They called me in less than 2 hours to let me know my pants were ready! How awesome is that?!?! The lady was very nice and courteous, and I will most definitely be going to them for all my tailoring needs. read more

I wasn't sure where to take my bridesmaids dress for alterations, but I was very lucky to find this business. They were very quick and helpful. I took my dress in on a Thursday, and the lady who helped me got it pinned within ten minutes. I think she gave a week as an estimate for the time, but I was contacted in the next Monday that my dress was ready. The speed was definitely appreciated. read more

Great experience. I bought expensive jeans that ended up being way too long. The ladies here hemmed them perfectly for me for $25. Kind of pricey, but well worth it so my jeans don't go to waste. This is a cash only place BTW, keep that in mind! And have patience, these ladies are working on tons of clothing at any given time. read more

I took two bridesmaids dresses that were wayyyy oversized and they did such a great job. The dresses were overly complicated but they handled them with ease. I'm so grateful I found this place, and I will definitely be coming here for alterations in the future read more

Eh. So I tooks 2 levis in fo a hem but didnt get good results back. She asked me if I wanted a hem like the original stitching was and I say YES but when I got em back they look funky. Like they inside out. Plus, one hem was narrower Dan the other and it's the same type of pant. See my pic for reference if u thinking bout getting jeans hemmed here read more

These ladies are amazing. They have tailored everything from evening gowns to dress pants to compression garments for me. They are so friendly and caring. read more

I won't return. They had my pants for a week and when I went back at the day and time she said to wait until they weren't ready. I even stopped in earlier in the day and she said come back at 4 pm. When I arrived I had to wait another 10 minutes for them to make the alterations (surprise surprise) as the weren't ready yet. I was handed the pants on the hanger to take with me. I asked if I could try them on and she pointed to the changing room. The pants weren't taken in enough and she needed to sew more. Glad I tried them on. Even after the second stitching they still puckered. When I dropped off the pants she said $20 to take them in, cash only. read more

This is a fantastic little tailor. I was in town for one week and needed work on my Ju-Jitsu Gi. I only had three days to get alternations made and The New Town Tailor handled this with no problem. They used the strongest threads available which are important as my Gi is getting pulled on constantly during competition. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

I always need to have my pants hemmed because I am just too short. They do not sell pants for my size. The Town Tailor is where I have been going to the last few years to fix this problem. Costs $8 for the hemming. Service is always good. Job is always done on time. No complaints, they are just good. read more

Go somewhere else. I had a TINY bit of my dress taken in and it cost me $70. The alteration was more than the price of my dress! They only accept cash (which seems a bit sketchy) and they are super rude!!! The location is pretty crappy too. Dressing rooms (if you even want to call them that) don't lock. They didn't steam the dress to get rid of the wrinkles either. I figured for $70 they'd go ahead and do that really quickly. I have nothing positive to say about this place. Absolutely nothing. read more

This family run business is simply amazing!! My family and I have been going to The New Town Tailor since I was in high school. They do quality work. 5 years ago I got married and stupidly ordered a wedding dress from China‍ I was in tears when I received it and took it to The New Town Tailor and they COMPLETELY transformed it into the wedding dress of my dreams!! This place is friendly, wonderful and reasonably priced! I would recommend them to everyone! read more

Great prices! Beat all the other shops in town I called. Good service. My orders are always ready same day.

This is my favorite tailor shop in Bakersfield! I had my long prom dress and they tailored it in one weeks time to my specific needs! The woman is very sweet and helpful for tailoring my prom dress! read more

I use them over and over. Dresses, jeans, pants. Difficult jobs. They do a fantastic job every time. I had them tailor three dresses for a wedding, including a bridesmaids dress, they were perfect. My husband is a difficult consumer and he approves, even when they tailor his suits. read more

I needed a place to do a simple alteration on my wedding dress. A friend suggested this place because she had taken her bridesmaids dresses here and the seamstress did a good job. When I went in, the lady (I'm assuming the owner) said they do work on wedding dresses. So I put the dress on in the rickety "dressing room" [which is not private at all] and she pinned the sides where it fit me too big. The dress fit great with the pins in and I was hopeful my dress would fit me perfect for my wedding. She told me to return one week later for my dress. The next week I called on the day she told me to and she said "I thought it was next week?" What?? She's the one who told me one week. Then she says "OK come in tomorrow" strike 1. My sister and I go in to pick up my dress. I'm glad I tried the dress on in the shop because, IT DID NOT FIT!! The lady was too busy to address the issue because other people came in and she was busy with them. We finally showed her the dress wouldn't even close. She then says whoever measured it did it wrong. IT WAS HER!! I told her she did it. Then she couldn't come up with an excuse to why it didn't fit and proceeded to tell me I needed to come in a week before my wedding. That has nothing to do with why my WEDDING dress does not fit me now!! So I paid her $55 [I felt like I shouldnt have] and now I need to take it in to have the zipper removed and a corset back put it. Now a simple alteration has turned into a $200 job. I cannot express how dissatisfied, disappointed, and angry I am. I trusted this person to fix my wedding dress. This is a very important garment that I had to save to purchase. I will never go here again and I will never refer them to anyone I know. Shame on her for doing terrible work and not even taking responsibility for what she did. read more

Great customer service, reasonably priced and great altering; I would not go anywhere else for altering services.

I am very disappointed with their service. I always go there for alteration.8-12 pants each time and never had any problem until last week! I brought maybe abour 12 pants to be hemmed and I already paid the full amount in advance. I asked the lady when can I pick it up and she said next Wednesday which was a week which was yesterday! I told her, I will pick it up on the 20th instead because I was working two nights on a row! The lady misunderstood me thinking that I will pick it up on January 20th! Why would I pay in advance $133 if I don't need those pants done ASAP? She was the one who made the mistake not me! The other lady was very rude when I called her today that I am going to pick them up this afternoon! She said they cannot do it because they are busy! They had those pants for more than a week now and they didn't do it thinking I will pick rhem up on January 19th instead of December 19th! read more

Excellent service. Expect to pay a $5 surcharge for same day alterations, this is nothing major but just an FYI. Otherwise, my experience here thus far has been excellent. I will continue to be a patron. read more

All of the clothing I buy has to be altered in one way or another. They fix everything perfectly every single time.

Let out suit pants; more complex than common job; very fast; reasonably priced. They look good and fit better.
