I've had nothing but great experiences here for the past several years. The tailoring is always high quality, and everyone is so kind and welcoming. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a small, family-run business, not a big alteration shop. The women here, including the grandmother who is still working, put so much care into every garment. Sometimes turnaround times are a little longer, but I'd much rather wait a bit for careful, quality craftsmanship than have something rushed. They also carry beautiful Vietnamese traditional dresses, wedding attire, skincare products, and other specialty items. read more

this place rocks. phung is friendly, funny, kind, timely, and exceptionally talented. she did a GREAT job on my wedding suit, even went out of her way to find matching fabric to extend my vest. my only concern is that she did such a good job that i might look better than my wife at the altar. read more

Awesome selection! Lots of beautiful Ao Dai traditional dresses for both men and women. The staff are fantastic--very knowledgeable, friendly, and quick to help. Prices are fair, and the quality is excellent. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic experiences over the last few years! Have had several coats, blazer, pants, and dresses altered -- great quality of tailoring, turn around in a timely manner, and reasonable cost. They are my go to tailor! This photo is intense :) but shows their great tailoring job on this jacket! I'm very short and they've done a great job fitting clothes to me. read more

Adam Tailoring & Alterations - Jacket tailored - shoulders brought in and arms length hemmed - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a wonderful small business! They definitely seem to specialize in ao dai, but don't let that deter you from coming to them with other kinds of garments! I brought a couple pairs of pants to them and they were able to take them at the waist and change the pant leg from straight to skinny. They looked great and felt great; I love not having to wear a belt with these pants anymore!!! I will say that they're often very busy (and I'm glad to see they've got so much business!), so keep your expectations in check when it comes to pick-up times. My pants took about 2-3 weeks, but this also might fluctuate throughout the year. I'd recommend calling for a time estimate if you're on a deadline. read more

I needed a few things repaired & dropped in here on kind of a blind whim & was not dissappointed! They did good work at a price I could actually afford, which in this city can be easier said than done. read more

Adam Tailoring & Alterations is an amazing, women-owned, family business that stands out for its quality and care. I've been going here for years and they have never disappointed. The craftsmanship is excellent, the fit is always perfect, and the attention to detail shows in every piece. They're professional, honest, and genuinely care about their customers. It's rare to find a tailor you can trust completely, and this is one of those places. Highly recommend! read more

I have had two sets of alterations done by these good folks now --both of them have been perfect on the first fitting and the work done for very reasonable prices. My garments were ready to pick up the morning of the day they were promised. Very reliable ---definitely recommend Adam tailoring! And there is plenty of street parking on the side streets; parking in front of the door is challenging on Rainier. read more

These are good people and the shop is really busy. They are kind and do excellent work and they are conveniently located a block away from a Safeway to help you get your errands done as easily as possible. read more

Great tailoring and service! Everyone is helpful, and I get good ideas on how to alter my clothing.

I had a very good experience going there to find a Ao Dai, the service was really good and it was very easy to ask for what I wanted. They had a lot of Ao Dai to choose from and it was very easy to have somebody altered it to my size. I can't wait to go there again for my future Ao Dai read more

I bought in 5 pairs of pants that I needed hemmed. One pair I not only needed hemmed but the top of the jeans lowered as they were to high waisted. They were able to lower the top and keep the length in the back for my butt. Now they are my favorite pair of jeans! They did such an amazing job! I will always go to them for all my alteration needs! read more

Thank god I found this place! I've used this place twice, and they are friendly, quick, affordable and reliable. I've used maybe 3 other tailors in Seattle, and all of them have been a disappointment in terms of pricing, convenience, quality of work and turnaround time. Please give this place your business; they deserve it. read more

Been going here since I was a kid. They are extremely good at what they do and fast! Their pricing is the best in town.

Recommended by a friend who's been a regular here for many years, I decided to have my bridesmaid dress altered here, which included hemming, tucking in the sides, and shortening of the straps. The staff thoroughly measured and pinned together how each section would be altered based on how the gown fit on my body in real-time while explaining the consequences (of the appearance) if they were to alter it this or that way. The alterations took about 2 weeks and I was satisfied with the final product. It was $120 paid in cash back in July 2022. Credit card transactions include a 4% fee. In addition to alterations, Vietnamese ao dai are also sold here in many different colors and styles. Parking can be inconvenient on the busy Rainier Ave street. I would consider Adam's again if there is a need for future alterations. read more

I traveled to Vietnam hoping to get Áo dài, but I didn't cause the design (color, pattern) were not attractive. Traveled home and found this shop. OMG, the shop had kids, men, and women áo dài. We got outfits for 6 people (boys, girls, women, and men). Thank goodness we got them just in time. read more

What a great place to get alterations done! I had 4 simple cotton dresses I needed alterations for. I needed them shortened/hemmed, but most places I called had standard fixed ridiculous prices no matter the type or material of the items you needed to bring in. Those places don't seem to adjust their prices whether you're getting a formal dress hemmed or a $20 cotton dress hemmed. They also have a 1-2 week turnaround. I'm so glad a neighbor recommended this place instead! Adam's was quick, friendly, and did a nice job on my alterations! It's a little bit out of the way but worth your time and effort. There is parking directly in front of their stairs and if you can't physically do slippery stairs on a rainy day (as I can't right now) the lady will see you on the camera and come out and help process your order outside - good customer service! They let me know the status of my alterations on the day they were promised and were very communicative. I don't know what the inside of their shop looks like since I couldn't make it up the stairs, but for this Covid-19 era it was actually really nice to do drop off outside. My husband picked up the alterations and didn't report any difficulty. read more

I've been coming here for almost six years. I love this place. It's the best. They are the nicest people. If I need something urgent they go out of their way to accommodate me. They do a professional job on all all types of alterations. Thank You Adam Tailoring! read more

Highly recommend this neighborhood gem. Excellent service and quick turnaround. The pocket on one of my favorite sweatshirts had torn. It wasn't big, but I couldn't fix it myself. I took it in and it was fixed within a day. You can't even tell anything was wrong with it. It looks brand new. Thank you, thank you! read more

I really like Adam Tailoring, they are very straight forward and dependable. They do good quality work

I really loved my experience getting my clothes altered here. I originally called to see if they could do my measurements for an ao dai I'm having custom made in Vietnam but they DO NOT offer this service anymore. I saw in a really old review that they did which is why I came here in the first place--not sure why they wouldn't anymore since the place is jam packed with ao dai, but whatever, I had other clothes I wanted tailored so I came anyway to get these (corduroy pants and a romper) done. The fitting process was super quick and since I wasn't in a rush to get them back the turnaround was a little less than 2 weeks. My pants needed hemming and my romper needed to have the sleeve straps taken up because it was too loose. Both came out perfectly with the hemming costing $12 and the sleeves shortened costing $10. I think it is a fair price, especially for the clothes to fit perfectly, and added pro is that the women working there were friendly and welcoming. I wasn't expecting this so it was a very nice surprise to feel their warmth and kindness. I will definitely come back to get any alterations done! read more

Great experience. Reasonably priced, quick (8 days for 4 items) and quality workmanship. Very happy with the service!

Had a pair of wide leg jeans hemmed here. They did a great job and finished early so I was able to pickup the item before I went on vacation. The price was affordable too. read more

Great alterations for all clothing and bonus for having Vietnamese wedding clothing and accessories. I had my pants hemmed here for $8 and they did a great job. Will certainly come back for additional alteration needs. While I was there, I did peruse their racks of Vietnamese ao dai and found a blue wedding groom's ao dai for my fiance. They have it in a variety of sizes and we ended up renting one for our wedding for $25. Highly recommend this shop if you need to get Vietnamese wedding stuff. read more

This place is family-run and very kind! I bought an áo dài from them, and they offered to tailor it for free. I think that offer is only for áo dài purchases, but while I was waiting for it to be finished I saw the lady being very nice and reasonable with her pricing to other customers. Anyways, 10/10 áo dài, 10/10 tailoring, 10/10 customer service. I will come back here again whenever I'm in Seattle! read more

My fave tailoring place in Seattle. They did an excellent job for my wedding a few years ago. They sold me my tea ceremony outfit (red) and tailored it, they created 8 bridesmaid outfits from scratch, we rented 8 groomsmen blue outfits. They also tailored my white wedding gown. Turned out perfectly! Since the wedding, they have also tailored dozens of my clothing items. They're meticulous, friendly and generous with their time. One time, they delivered a batch of my tailored clothes to my home without charging me delivery for. Honestly, they charge too little for their excellent services. FIVE STARS. read more

Adam Tailoring & Alterations - They custom made all the bridesmaids' traditional outfits as well as mine. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was a loyal customer for many years, referring several people to Adam Taylor. I had one awful experience that will make me never return. I dropped off 5 items to be altered and informed them that it would be at least one month before I could pick up because I was going out of the country. One month led into 3 months due to Covid and me moving 45 minutes away. When I came to pick up the items, they alerted me that everything was in storage since it had been a few months. Not a problem. I came back to pick them up when they informed me they had brought the items back to the shop. They had 4 of the 5 items. My super cute black cocktail dress was missing. They first told me that maybe they donated it due to the timeframe of me picking it up....but they also told me that they ALWAYS call and text prior to doing this to allow the customer to come and pick up. They never called, left a voicemail, or texted me. It also did not make sense that they had the other 4 items that I dropped off at the same time. Why would they only donate one....the most expensive of the 5 items? They also told me to text them a photo, and they would continue to look for it and get back to me. I texted them a photo, a follow up text, and left a message with one of the employees. None of my several attempts to contact them was responded to. I even found the dress on clearance for a very reasonable price and asked if they would be willing to replace the item. They never responded to me. I am convinced that an employee kept the dress for themselves. I am shocked and disappointed with the lack of care or response to make the situation right, especially when I found the dress on clearance and they could have easily replaced for only $50. The right thing to do would be to replace my item that mysteriously disappeared. So disappointed and frustrated. read more

Soooooo thankful for Adam's Tailoring! I came here with my dress a WEEK before the event (I know I should have come sooner) and they didn't even flinch. They were like OK we'll have it to you by Thursday. Honestly this dress was a size too small, it didn't zip all the way, and it needed to be altered because I'm short. I'm giving this 4 stars because I only paid 90 dollars for the alterations and I was so at ease when everything fit. However I had to come back again because the jewel on the top was still a tight fit. So that had to be adjusted again read more

Came here looking for wedding ao dai. They have ready made options, but don't have really any ability to customize stuff. They can alter their ao dais for you, but you don't have a ton of options in terms of fabrics. I also brought a dress that I requested them to alter. It was a little big / loose in the chest for me, so I wanted them to bring up the straps. I tried it on and someone pinned it for me. It was still pulling weirdly at the chest, and they were very honest with me that it probably wouldn't look nice even if they did the alterations I requested. They quoted me $15, which seemed reasonable, but I chose not to do it. I think they'd be a fine option for ready-made ao dais for a general occasion, but for a special bridal / wedding ao dai, they weren't right for me. read more

My daughter needed an ao dai for a multicultural day at school and the date is coming up sooner than what online ordering could ship to me. In the past, my mom would buy some for my kids in VN while visiting there but since the pandemic hit, that hasn't happened in years. My family has come here in the past for custom made ao dais and is a staple in the community. So I gave them a call and lucky me! They had some children's sizes in stock! My Vietnamese is very rough but that didn't phase them one bit. They were so nice and helpful. They even steamed the ones I purchased for my kids and now they are ready to be worn. This place is where I will be coming to get my own custom ao dai and likely my kids as well when they out grow what I just got them. Highly recommend this place! read more

Excellent service and quality work! Brought in 5 pairs of pants to be shortened and they were measured correctly and stitched perfectly. The pants were pressed and on hangers. Their prices are fair and they were completed on time. I would strongly recommend this shop! read more

Bridesmaid dress came back with stains - yes, people STAINS! I questioned them about it so they gave me $10 off - which is less then it will cost to dry clean. It's more about principal and integrity which I am sad to say this company seems to lack. read more

Many Decades ago i requested a special order. Many Decades later. that special sewing/tailoring withstood the test of time. Those items i requested endured all punishments that life and work threw at it and those stitchings have held up.....come on....thousands of washings....thousands of bendings.....thousands and maybe hundreds of thousands of whatever withstood it all... their work is above the rest. does it take time to get your items back..yes...but lets be realistic...do you want quality...then learn to be patient....trust me back then i was not very patient....when i think about it now, i am glad i learned to be and now i am very very patient...Quality work requires patience.... if you do not have patience for the very best...just go somewhere else and pay them that chump change....i can guarantee you that it will not last and you wished you were patient and dropped off whatever you wanted done here...you would have saved enormous cash and at the same time....received hand sewn/creations that will probably outlast you...this i can guarantee read more

I've been coming here for years. The ladies here are very friendly and prompt. PROS: The prices are very affordable for the quality of work that they provide. I brought a few items to be hemmed costing only about $8-$10 less per item. I had my traditional Vietnamese dress (Ao Dai) made for my engagement ceremony along with six of my bridesmaids. She has many different fabric samples to choose from. All the dresses were beautiful and were fitted perfectly. The bridesmaids dresses were around $50 and since mines that more designs, it came up to around $65. They also provide items that you can rent for the traditional Vietnamese engagement/wedding ceremony. I also had my wedding dress and evening gown for my wedding altered there as well. I had taken my wedding dress to a couple of other alterations and they prices that were quoted were around $200-$300. She only charged me $180 to have both my wedding dress and evening gown altered. I've never been disappointed in the quality of work that they provide. CONS: Every now and then they wouldn't make the deadline that was promised. They were very prompt on finishing all dresses for my wedding but they tend to be late on some casual clothing items that i bring in. Street Parking can be hard to find. It's a very small store filled with many dresses and accessories so it can be very crowded at times. TIP: I would call them a day before your item is ready to make sure you will receive it on time. read more

Purchased a bridal Ao Dai dress from Adam Tailoring. They were so wonderful, and had a really great selection of beautiful Ao Dai's. If I ever need another Ao Dai for any occasion, I will be sure to visit this place again :) read more

Considering that I only had 2 weeks left before the engagement ceremony and no pink ao dai in my wardrobe, the fact that I was able to find one that I like was awesome! I had to do A LOT of digging however, bypassing the dresses that were either way too bedazzled or way too pink for my taste. The dress I ended up getting was perfect -- a bit overpriced in my opinion but ehh, they got to make a living right? -- and the manager was able to customise the sleeves the way I wanted at no extra charge. The service itself was okay. Again, the manager was great when she was helping us, always asking if the dress fitted correctly and if I needed any further alterations. Her two helpers, on the other hand, were a little less accommodating and a bit unfriendly. Maybe it was just an off day for them but I did not feel welcomed. Overall though, I had a satisfying experience. Also, hat rentals are available for $10 with a $30 deposit. read more
