They were very helpful when I had a quick turnaround time. Everyone was very nice too! Thanks, Jack read more

The people are nice but $230 to hem a dress is absolutely ridiculous. For a non-multi-layered dress? No extra fabric, no sizing adjustments....just a hem. That's 20 minutes of work. I'd be better off taking a pair of scissors to the bottom. You can go to an amazing tailor and get the same shit done for $80. Absolute highway robbery, I learned my lesson... read more

Alts is my go to place to get alterations. They have been my favorite place in the city to go fixing my blazers, tailoring my dresses and making my vintage finds look more personal. Mika is excellent with her fast service, recommendations for tailoring and how honest she is with how things look on me. I prefer that! I also like the front house staff with ensuring I am aware of the policies each time and any time I need to return for alterations. read more

This was quite literally the worst tailoring job I have ever had. Mind you they charged $600 for this and after two fittings it was an absolute disappointment to put on. 1. The hem was uneven and jagged. I asked many times for this to be shorter and was told many times by multiple employees them that where they hemmed would work. Unfortunately it did not, and had they actually listened to what I wanted it may have been better. This still does not excuse the absolutely abysmal hem job regardless. This meant that by the end of the event the bottom of the dress was ruined. 2. A entire pin was left dead center of the dress. I asked on the second fitting if they could fix with one stitch the attached photo circling where I needed some quick help. For $600 you think they would check to see they didn't leave a full pin in the dress but it seems that there was no quality assurance In no world would I ever recommend this place for anybody looking for a tailor. They overcharge, make poor advice regarding tailoring and then do a terrible job. read more

Great experience! I came in as a walk-in and Zade was happy to accommodate me on short notice. She also happily agreed to do quick adjustments on 2 coats I had free of charge! Would recommend, and of course will come back. Great experience! I came in as a walk-in and Zade was happy to accommodate me on short notice.

Mika from the upper west side location couldn't have been more lovely and helpful. I was having a dress altered for my son's wedding and she did an absolutely beautiful job. On a separate note, the prices are a tiny bit astronomical! All in all very happy with the outcome and service. in read more

I got a dress tailored by Violeta and she was great! Very honest and the alteration came out amazing!

Extremely unfriendly staff, I just left after waiting for 10 minutes to be acknowledged.

Fantastic customer service! The staff is very friendly and their alterations are perfect!

Came here with two pairs of pants that we needed in a rush. They were courteous and professional. I will definitely use their services again. read more

Excellent customer service. Zade is the best, kind and knows her craft. Would definitely come again

Great tailor! Took my complicated request and delivered! I had multiple pieces and love them all. Highly recommend!

I was greeted with a smile and the outmost welcoming spirit--not typical for our Big Apple. Mika knew exactly what I needed when I said that I was looking for a classier European fit. The fitting and hemming suggestion were right on. Overall it was one of the best customer service experiences I have had for a while. Thank you Mika and thank you Alts. read more

Seen very quickly as a walk in. Rush job and they were so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

They fixed a detached spaghetti strap on my dress for free when I waked in without an appointment (I am an existing costumer)! Such a lovely surprise read more

Zade Gjuta at Alts on the UWS is the best tailor I've ever worked with! I trusted her to do intricate tailoring on two outfits I wore to weddings over the summer. One was an evening gown and the other was a highly decorative shalwar kameez for a South Asian wedding. The shalwar kameez could only be tailored by hand and required a lot of skill to get it perfect. Zade did a fantastic job! I couldn't have asked for more. Yes, Alts is expensive but it's the only place I trust for such important event outfits. read more

Highly recommend! read more

I have gotten many clothing items altered and have had a great experience! They are accommodating on pickup dates, take great care in the work being done, and the front desk is welcoming. Bonus that there are multiple locations, so I've always had one near my apt! read more

As a child, my favorite Disney princess/movie was Cinderella. One of my favorite parts is when the fairy godmother appears, transforming Cinderella's drabby attire into the iconic ballgown we all know and love . As I stepped into my own gown that I brought in to be altered, I couldn't help but feel like Cinderella in that pivotal moment, and Elena Balaj, was my very own fairy godmother. To say that I was satisfied with her work is a complete understatement. My gown was altered so impeccably, it felt like it had always been so perfectly fitted to me. I can't thank Elena enough for her hard work and dedication, and anytime I need something fixed or updated, I know exactly where and who to go to. The price point was a bit higher than I expected, but when informed why I completely understood and every penny was worth it and more. Thank you SO much again Elena!! read more

The place is closed for lunch from 2-3pm daily but that is not listed in their website. There were 4 of us waiting to be buzzed it, some of whom had appointments. When I called at 2:56pm to ask their hours, the woman who answered then told me they are closed from 2-3pm and proceeded to ask me what we all needed to get done (I.e., did we have appointments, what items needed to be tailored, etc.). I didn't know the other 3 people waiting and fine if they are closed for lunch but post it on the website. Once I was finally upstairs, I asked how much the starting price was to hem a pair of pants one inch. The woman up front couldn't answer the question, said there was a range. I asked what the range was. She still couldn't answer it. She said it depended and I said it was hemming a standard pair of pants one inch. She still couldn't answer and I didn't want to make an appointment without knowing the price. She finally said $55 was the starting price but then said it could be more or less once I met with the tailor. I left, she was rude. To not be able to answer a basic pricing question seemed like they were trying to cheat their customers. I could understood if she couldn't quote a price if I asked about doing something complicated to a dress, but I said "one inch hemming on a standard pair of pants". read more

Zade was great!! Thorough, considerate, and very fast turn around. Would 10/10 recommend read more

Took a Jean Paul Gaultier piece several other tailors told me they could not fix, however this was no problem for Mehmet who did an amazing job!! read more

Yelly Ndao is an outstanding tailor, he lived up to his title of Master Tailor. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable in his craft.

I will definitely be returning with more items. read more

I brought in an old jacket that was too big and they brought in the body nicely and also thought to narrow the sleeves - I was impressed with their thoughtfulness read more

I literally cannot say enough good things about Maryse Joseph and Alts. I had a jumpsuit that I needed tailored for a special event that had a ton of lace detailing, sequins, and was for sure a complicated garment to tailor. I picked the jumpsuit up a week later and it fit me PERFECTLY. It was even strapless and Maryse tailored the garment to make me feel so secure. If you need ANYTHING tailored - specifically anything that may be complex or delicate, Maryse Joseph is your girl!! I'm so grateful!! read more

My absolute favorite tailor in NYC. I have come here with everything from silk dresses to blazers to wool coats and they always do an incredible job. Zade is my favorite; she treats you like family and is a perfectionist. My clothes have never looked so good! read more
