She slimmed down and shortened the sleeves of the jacket and it cost me about $35 per sleeve. The finished product was perfect and I got a ton of compliments. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! Before you go, note that cash is highly preferred!

I really hate being real because the owner is such a chill and personable guy. I can tell he loves…read morewhat he does and generally wants to make you happy. BUT i cant say the same for the spanish guy who works along side him nor the shop owner's son. I've had two jackets and pants tailored at this place and they all fit well but was super disappointed when i full inspected the work. How do you have the audacity to make people pay upfront for work that hasnt even been done yet!? There was threading all over my jackets and pants, that wasnt bothered to be cleaned off? That's just lazy. What's even more lazier was the fact that checking the threading on the areas like my jacket collar, they didnt use the same thread color!? Nor did they bother even cutting loose ends...kinda just lazy i mean overall everything fit well but they got lazy/sloppy

So, I ignored some of the other negative reviews and started going to him because he was close, and…read morehe did dozens of alterations for me over years. And he is a con artist. Is he a decent tailor? Yes. 90% of the time the work comes back good; sometimes it doesn't but he fixes it if you notice. But no, you shouldn't go to him. There is a reason he doesn't list prices anywhere. He charges as much as he thinks he can get away with charging you. And he talks a really, really big game about how hard the alterations are, and how no one else does them right, and how he can't make any money on his prices. At first he seemed a little pricey, but the work was good, and again, he was nearby, and he was so friendly. After a while I really thought we were becoming real friends, but it was just buttering me up. And like a sucker, I fell for it. I fell for it so hard that I didn't write this review for a long time because I am so embarrassed by how much money this man took me for. The more I went to him, the larger the "discounts" he claimed to be giving me, but I had this feeling that nevertheless the prices kept going up... and up, and up. Eventually he quoted me prices for two overcoat alterations that were too outrageous for me to swallow. I called seven of the most well-reputed menswear tailors in Manhattan, and all of them quoted me half the cost or less. And I know enough about tailoring to ask for exactly the work i need done, and Hussey had explained exactly what he was going to do, and I explained it exactly to the other tailors. I went back to Hussey to get my coats, and he knew exactly why, and barely would speak to me as he told me not to come back. I now take my work to Wazin Custom Tailors in midtown. They take half as long to do your measurements, they charge has as much, their work is flawless, and they have it done fast, on the day they said they would. Maybe you'll have a different experience, maybe he won't see you as a mark, but he may will smile to your face, butter you up, and rip you off, like he did to me. At least go one block further up Washington to the guy who has his prices posted on the wall. Other things to know: he will take as long to do your work as you let him. It won't be done when he says. It'll only be done when you call or come by multiple times to tell him you need it. Also, if you go there in the evening, you will see his shop is completely infested with clothes moths. I'm still trying to get them out of my warddrobe.

He charged 70 bucks for hemming the pants and, 90 for the dress I don't know what I was smoking to agree with the price. Asked for several fittings and his hours aren't clear and he isn't very communicative. All in all I am not happy with the result in two of the items he worked on and I was charged way too high.

Original review below for context: I had a VERY disappointing experience here. I brought in a pair of satin pants for hemming, was told they would be ready, and when I returned, the tailor could not find them anywhere. I waited while they searched through the shop multiple times and the pants were ultimately confirmed lost. These were not inexpensive pants and also had personal significance to me, so this was extremely upsetting. To their credit, they did reimburse me for both the pants and the hemming charge after I insisted, but the overall experience was stressful and frustrating. I would strongly recommend keeping detailed records/photos of any items you leave here.

When I got the dress back the entire top half of the dress (bust area, straps, etc) were misaligned because they took the straps in wayyyyy too much. When I showed it to them they played dumb, refused to fix it (claiming it could not be fixed), and then had the gaul to still charge me for it. It's NYC, there are a ton of good options, no reason to risk the same thing happening to you.

While the alterations don't get too complex, what AM offers usually covers most of what I need. Alterations pricing are also incredibly reasonable. I've had pants, shorts, skirts and dresses hemmed here, as well as buttons resewn on items. You can usually get your clothes back within a 2 to 3 day turnaround and can pay before or at pick up. A consistent and great business in the neighborhood!

E&L Fashion was a great choice for my wedding dress alterations.

She did a great job, and suggested a different type of bustle for my dress that I ended up really loving how the bustled look came out. She fit the dress exactly to my body as it needed and I felt like I could trust her with my dress, as opposed to some of the other dress alteration companies in NYC that I've read some questionable reviews for. The price was reasonable, the experience was very easy and her and her mother working in the shop were very friendly. I highly recommend E&L tailoring for wedding gowns or any other delicate garment that you'd like altered with precision and care.

On the most important day she helped make us look and feel confident and amazing. I have lived in nyc for 7+ years and have gone to multiple places for tailoring/alterations and no one compares. She gave feedback and answered all our questions and helped make the right decisions about how to alter each piece. Above and beyond her amazing personality and professionalism she COMES TO YOUR APT. Worth every penny. Would give 10 stars if yelp allowed.

Katie is an outstanding tailor, and also an outstanding businessperson…read more I first contacted Katie in the fall, seeking someone to alter a few pairs of pants. She arrived at my home on time, and I was immediately struck by how friendly, upbeat and body-positive she is. What began as a simple pinning/tailoring appointment ended up being a whole-wardrobe consultancy, and Katie was patient, attentive and took her time to talk to me about clothes, fitting and dressing to feel good. The bottom line - Katie wants people to feel good in their clothes. I'm a plus sized girl who wears menswear, I carry all my weight around my waist and it's difficult to find clothes that fit all over my body as the proportions are frequently too big in some spots and too tight in others. Katie made me feel completely comfortable to talk about these issues, ask questions, and discuss challenges related to shopping off the rack. She was emphatic that there are no wrong bodies, only clothes that don't fit, and her mission is to help people find confidence through clothes that look and feel great. She gave me tips for shopping off the rack, and talked a lot about how tailoring, even in the smallest ways, can help to completely restyle a garment and look, and she was right. The pants I got back from her fit better than any pair I've ever owned, and immediately made me a convert to tailoring clothes. Katie has tailored a few things for me since then, including the suit I wore at my recent wedding. Even on occasional short notice, she's sweet, enthusiastic about doing business with me, prompt to appointments and prompt returning my garments, and does excellent work with fine attention to detail. If you're a plus sized person looking to find a better fit for suiting or menswear, if you're a woman who has trouble fitting men's clothes to your body, or just a person who has always felt not quite at home in the clothes you wear, Katie is the perfect tailor for you. That's in addition to anyone who just needs a tailor for standard jobs. 5 of 5 stars for Mend Tailoring and Katie!
