    My gown after the tailoring service. The dress was shortened and the bodice was slimmed.
    Anais M.

    I did not know what to expect when I arrived. All that mattered to me was that I get this dress tailored as quickly as possible. I am now SO thankful to have discovered Wazin and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for professional and trustworthy tailoring... My best friend was getting married this past weekend with two special ceremonies on different days (a Nikah and Cameroonian ceremony). I got a dress for the Nikah ceremony a long time ago but didn't know that the Cameroonian had a specific colorful and formal dress code until two weeks before the event...and I'm the maid of honor! Unfortunately, since it was prom season, I had extremely bad luck in finding an appropriate dress in stock and one that could arrive on time. So as soon as I arrived in New York, I finally found a great dress but it needed to be shortened and the bodice slimmed. I needed it to be tailored within TWO days! I called two places but they couldn't accommodate the rushed service. Then I called Wazin. Sam answered and immediately replied that he'd be happy to help me get this dress tailored. With two suitcases, a briefcase, and a new dress in hand, I stumbled on over to their address and was surprised to find such a professional and upscale place. I walked in to a cozy space with classic decor and met with a man who was dressed well - it was Sam! He was very kind, understanding, and knew exactly how the dress should fit me. He even suggested putting in a built-in bra into the bodice so I wouldn't have to use a strapless bra when wearing the dress (Ladies, DO IT. It was such a great suggestion). He was very honest with his opinions and helped show me where things should be cut and to what length. It was such a relief and surprise to find that my dress was ready the very next day. The length and built-in bodice fit me perfectly and I received so many compliments on this dress during the event. I am extremely grateful that I found Wazin and would absolutely recommend anyone looking for quality tailoring and genuine customer service to give them an opportunity to work with them. Thank you, Sam and to those at Wazin, for helping to make this a wonderful wedding weekend!

    If you're looking for a magnificent tailor, then you've found him with Sam. I had bought a few nice suits that had to be tailored and I did some searching on Google and Yelp. After going through a lot, I decided to go with Sam based on the reviews that I'd read. I went there with two suits and he was great. He asked me what I was looking for and also gave me different options to choose from. For example, for my pants cuff, he said I could make it more formal or more casual. He asked for the type of look I wanted in my suit. I was happy that he gave me options and his recommendations instead of just dictating what it should be. He worked fast and efficient but never rushed. I probably took a little longer in the changing room but I never felt rushed at all. I needed my two suits for a photoshoot and he was very accommodating to making sure he got them done in time. When I went to pick up my suits, he had me try them on to make sure it looked and fitted well, and that I was also happy with his work. I was happy with his craftsmanship, and I had been going on a bit of a suit shopping spree, so I gave him two more suits to tailor after the original two. Overall, I was happy with Sam's attention to detail, craftsmanship, and the overall experience. You really can't go wrong with Sam and knowing me, I'll be buying more suits in the future, and like how everyone has a person for something, Sam will always be my tailor guy.

    The dress!

    I couldn't be more thrilled with Sam's expertise and work. I needed a dress totally reconstructed during this past holiday season for a TV engagement and Sam did an unbelievable job. He is so professional, brilliant with design and knew how to fix every picky detail I had, to deconstruct my entire dress; adding in a built in bra, shoulder pads and tailoring it to all my curves. It ended up being a stunning blazer dress and made me feel comfortable & beautiful the day of my event. I would recommend this work a million times over!

    Brought over a $2000 Paul Smith suit to have the sleeves shortened and the trousers tailored. Waited over 2.5weeks to get them back only to whined up leaving them for another two weeks. Pants were not properly done. Suit jacket sleeves way too short. Sam took them back and said all will be fixed. Unfortunately this was not the case. The work was not properly done. You can see from the photos. Where the sleeve meets the shoulder should not be so wrinkled, it should be a nice clean finish. There was even extra loose thread sticking out. Over a month pasted since I first brought in the suit. I just took it elsewhere and that tailor agreed the work was not properly done. Over $200 down the drain. I rarely post reviews but feel all the positive reviews can be misleading.

    J.Bespoke - The extent of the capacity on NYE

    This is a review for their New Years Eve event. Last minute booking a few days before. Very pleased…read moreoverall. Very cute speakeasy. For starters it was not crowded at all, there was seating for every reservation (been to a standing room only NYE party in past elsewhere in the city not fun). In fact maybe only 20% capacity, felt like a tiny private event. Included in the package I made on resy was open bar including classic cocktails plus a bottle of champagne. All the drinks were spectacular and well crafted. Also included was a 1 snack per reservation, which we opted for the charcuterie board that was delicious, other options include chips and guacamole, hummus with crudités. Overall was a classy vibe, far away from tourist or rowdy crowd. We were well attended to the whole night. If you're looking for something low key and a bit classy plus have a love for craft cocktails then this is a really great option and worth the money.

    Excellent vibes. This fits the niche of, not too loud and rowdy like a pub, but not the super tight…read moreand pretentious atmosphere of most cocktail bars. The TV screen is a bonus, although the ones on the side are a bit small, and there's no audio for the TV. For the drinks, they sound very good on paper, but for some reason I could not taste every thing. The cold brew negroni was good, a bit too sweet for my taste, but the coffee was truly there. Not enough ice though and the drink got diluted too fast. For the peat & tiki, it was really just a sweet syrupy tiki drink, and I barely tasted the peat, if it was there at all. This one they used a tall ice cube though which I appreciated.

    *updated stars after communication from owner*…read more I think the quality at Alan David is very good--my previous suit from them is excellent and gets frequent compliments. That's why I returned in May 2025 to order a sportcoat. Unfortunately, the customer service this time fell short of my expectations. By late August, I realized I hadn't heard anything about the order and called for an update. I was told the fabric had been out of stock and later delayed due to the factory's vacation schedule, which seemed reasonable enough. In September, they contacted me for a fitting, but the appointment date inadvertently fell on a holiday when the store was closed. I rescheduled for October. At that visit, I was told the jacket would be ready in a few weeks, but again, no one reached out. In December--more than six months after ordering--I called once more and received a text saying they'd follow up with an estimated date. When I expressed frustration about the lengthy delay, they acknowledged that the initial order had been submitted late, which contradicted earlier explanations. To their credit, they took responsibility and offered a generous store credit, which was appreciated but not expected. The reason for my three-star rating isn't the final product, which was fine, but the lack of proactive communication. I had to repeatedly contact them just to understand what was happening with an order that had been paid for months earlier. Even my salesperson at Macy's is more proactive--and I don't spend thousands of dollars at a time there. My husband has had consistently positive experiences at Alan David, so I do believe my situation was an outlier and wouldn't discourage others from trying them. They ultimately handled the service recovery well; I only wish the issue had been acknowledged and addressed earlier. My hope is simply that their follow-up and order tracking become more reliable moving forward because otherwise, you might be left with the feeling that once you've paid, nobody really cares.

    I had another great experience getting a custom double-breasted suit made here. I've worked with…read morethem before and I'm always impressed by the quality. The craftsmanship really stands out the stitching, the fit, and the overall finish are excellent. You can tell it's truly custom made. Gioia helped me this time and she is so lovely. She was very attentive and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. She made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Neal handled the measurements and was extremely thorough. I mentioned that I'm actively losing weight, and he made sure to take that into account so the suit would still fit well as my body changes. That level of care really stood out to me. Alan was also incredibly generous. I was able to use a store credit he had provided, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about his customers and wants to make sure everything goes well. That kind of service is rare these days. The Madison Avenue showroom is beautiful and the whole team makes you feel very welcome. I've had a really positive experience every time I've come here. If you're looking for a custom suit, jacket, or dress coat, this is definitely a place worth checking out.
