    Lee's Tailors on Western Boulevard is hands-down the best tailoring experience I've had in Raleigh…read more Ping (the owner) is incredible, and Karen and Anna are both wonderful as well. They're all patient, skilled, and genuinely kind. I go in fairly often for tailoring and repairs, and they are always welcoming and willing to listen carefully while I figure out exactly what I want done. Today really stood out. I brought back a pair of pants that had been hemmed and looked great, but just didn't feel comfortable when I wore them. I was worried I was asking too much since I'd already been in a few times about these pants, but Ping couldn't have been more understanding. She insisted on letting them back out while I was there, even though it was near closing time. She also noticed a jacket I had and tightened the buttons on that too--again, on the spot. She was so kind, accommodating, and generous with her time, and she wouldn't even let me pay. That level of care and customer service is rare. Ping truly stands behind her work and wants her customers to be comfortable and happy. If you're looking for expert tailoring with exceptional service, Lee's Tailors is the place. I won't go anywhere else.

    They did a fabulous job altering my dress. The lady came from the back and helped me decide what…read morewould look best. My dress had a lot of material to alter. She was very helpful and patient. It wasn't inexpensive but it was worth it.

    This place is what nightmares are made of! Seriously, do not take anything to them! I took my…read morewedding dress to her to be hemmed as I am 5'2" and the dress was way too long. That's it, I only needed it hemmed. She said it would be 8 WEEKS before I could pick my dress up! 8 WEEKS?! I went back after 8 weeks to try the dress on. First of all, it was still too long, much too long. But most importantly, the woman had REMOVED my beautiful long lace sleeves and replaced them with some super weird tutu material!!!!! I was SHOCKED and HORRIFIED!! I did not ask for anything to be done to the sleeves! Then she acted like she did not speak English and could not understand what I was upset about. I then WAITED in the dressing room in my underwear while she put my long lace sleeves back on and hemmed the dress to the correct length!! Funny how she was able to hem it in minutes when I was so upset and waiting in her dressing room in my underwear! Also funny that she suddenly understood English when I told her I was not leaving until my dress was right. I refused to leave my dress with that awful woman for one more day. The woman gave me a partial refund and begged me to not write a review. It has taken me a long time to write and post this review but I feel like I have to post this to hopefully protect others from the trauma that I experienced with her. Also, I now wonder if some other bride went to pick up her dress and the woman did not remove her sleeves when she was supposed to. I cannot fathom why she took my sleeve off.

    20 years as a customer. Jenny consistently delivers. Highly recommend! Outstanding work!read more

    This is by far the worst tailor in the Triangle area. I've used them several times over the…read moreyears--at least a dozen--and every single experience has been disappointing. Their pricing is inconsistent and seems to change depending on who you are or how they're feeling that day. As well as items not being seamed together and matched properly. I'm always asked to stay and wait and sit longer or to come back later that day or another day and they still don't provide a discount despite their errors. Most recently, I brought in four small blankets to be stitched together. Each blanket only cost me about $5. At the time of drop-off, they told me they were too busy to give a quote, so I specifically asked them to call me with the price before starting work. I never received a call, voicemail, or any form of communication. When I returned, I was shocked to be told the total was $74--more than three times what I paid for all the materials combined. When I questioned it, the owner lied & insisted he had called me, which simply isn't true. Then instead of addressing the issue professionally, he became dismissive, telling me it was "in the past" and brushing off my concerns. Any time I tried to explain how inappropriate and frustrating the situation was, he acted like he didn't understand me like he didn't understand English, which made the interaction even more upsetting. I would strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. There are plenty of tailors who are more transparent, professional, and respectful of their customers. Would give 0 stars if possible!

    After more than 10 years of using Advance Tailors in Brier Creek, I have finally reached the point…read morewhere I will be taking my business elsewhere. Over the years, I have brought them multiple suits annually because I like my suits tailored to fit a certain way. My work requires me to wear suits regularly, so tailoring is not occasional for me; it is a necessity. Unfortunately, recent experiences have made it difficult to continue supporting this business. My biggest concerns are inconsistent pricing, overpricing, and poor communication. On one visit, a hem may cost one price, and the next time the price is different. Recently, I brought in three suits, one of which needed to be rushed. I was charged $40 for the rush service, which I paid because I needed the suit quickly. The following month, however, the price had doubled. I also often wear three-piece suits and like to have a pocket added to the vest. This time, I was quoted $50 to add one pocket using leftover fabric from the pants. I pointed out that just a few months earlier, the same alteration had cost $35, which I gladly paid. This time, I declined. The last straw came when I was told that two of my suits would be ready on May 2. When I arrived, the pants were not ready. I was told the pins had fallen off and that I needed to try them on again to be measured. In a very casual and dismissive manner, I was told to wait 15 minutes and the pants would be ready. I waited. As I was leaving, the gentleman attempted to give me $5 for the inconvenience--after I had spent $395 to have three suits altered. After more than a decade as a loyal customer, that was disappointing. They have seen me for the last time. I will be looking for another professional tailor--preferably one with clearly posted prices and more consistent customer service. I am not sure what has changed at Advance Tailors, but it feels as though their success may have gone to their heads. Think twice before using them. They have not only mastered the art of tailoring, also the art of bait and switch. I After 10 years, I will not be returning.
