I got a very cool button-up shirt from my husband that was just way too big (what was he thinking?!) and I wanted to keep it. That's how I found Cho. She tailored the living heck out of that shirt and now it's one of my favorites. I have turned to her repeatedly ever since for exactly this kind of work: tailoring menswear. She's perfectly customized slacks, jackets and many button-up shirts and her prices are remarkably reasonable. I brought another shirt to a different tailor much closer to where I live and was charged twice as much for similar work. Cho is a keeper. read more

This place is just average. I live pretty close and needed an alteration, and so I decided to try them out. The prices on some of their services are ridiculous...I mean seriously overpriced. The time to also get your one basic alterations done are way too long...so if you are in a rush don't come here. The woman who owns the shop is not horrible, but for sure she is not friendly...at all. I also thought it was an oddity to pay up front. I have lived in Los Angeles, Manhattan, Chicago and I have never been asked to pay up front. The shop itself is clean and well organized, my alterations were done OK. But that is about it. There is no outstanding customer service besides overcharging and taking money. There is barely a hello and a thank you. When I came back to get my item, it was thrown haphazardly into a plastic bag...not hung on a hanger or anything, so when I got home, I had to steam an item that was brand new...to get all the wrinkles out (that was not wrinkled when I dropped it off). The shop doesn't have me wanting to rush to give them my business. read more

As a men's retailer clothier in Seattle, I've used and referred Cho's Tailor & Alteration for many years! Quality work, very quick turnaround, competitive prices! The Tuxedo Club Seattle ~ Bob Buhrman, owner read more

We are officially big fans of this place! Mrs. Cho? (not sure of her name), but she is Amazing!!!! Fiancé got his suit hemmed after some weight loss and unfortunately had to pay extra for a rush of only a few days. It was well worth it! She was so accommodating and helpful in her suggestions. The suit fit perfectly! She has officially got our business, and I'll be back to bring a few of my dresses and jeans, which also need hemming (non-rushed, of course). Highly recommend this place if you need quick and affordable work! read more

Rejoicing to have finally found a reliable, affordable, friendly tailor in Seattle! I've brought 3 shirts of different materials in for hemming and all have turned out excellent. I have also brought a sweatshirt in and she was able to take the waist and sleeves up AND move the pocket to effectively downsize the whole thing for a perfect fit. Turn around usually 1 week. Last bonus is it's obvious she sees many queer/nb clients as she knows right what to do with hemming a men's button down shirt read more

The jacket I needed to sew up was not finished in full with holes left! After a while even the sewed part came apart:(

She can hem and that's it. Everything else is too complicated. Very limited talent and abilities. Posting this review so we can support people with actual talent and abilities. read more

Have been taking things for years to Cho's but never reviewed - she is not only efficient and skilled in minor alterations, but can remake a sweatshirt into something more fashionable! Perhaps her most hidden talent - is mending or reweaving holes in garments be they moth or otherwise rendered. Flawless! Can't recommend her highly enough! read more

I've been going here for 18 months now (~8 alterations in total), and have been extremely satisfied. I've gotten hems, darts and fixes/patches done. All have lasted without issue. One darting was missed once, but when mentioned she promptly completed the work without question. Prices are also far lower than many others downtown (e.g. $10 hem vs $18 elsewhere, as of Feb2019). read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by to have the jacket of a suit taken in and the sleeves of his dress shirt shortened for my sister's wedding. While pinning the jacket, the seamstress convinced him to have the pants taken in too, even though he had told her it wasn't necessary. She quoted $75 for all of this (more than it cost to extensively alter my bridesmaid dress at a different tailor's shop) and forced us (well, me; I was paying since it was my sister's wedding) to pay in full up front. I've been to many of this city's tailors and never encountered having to pay up front! Turns out the reason she does this is because she knows she is going to do a bad job and doesn't want to have to haggle at the end. My boyfriend returned without me to pick up the suit. He tried everything on, but the suit jacket was still too large. When he asked her to take it in more, she refused, claiming there was no way to do so. My boyfriend isn't one for confrontation, and she's lucky I wasn't there, because I would have asked her why she charged so much to do half the job. Or more to the point, why she didn't inform us while we were there on the first visit that she would not be able to make the jacket fit him properly. I am extremely upset by her lack of professionalism and customer service. At the very least, upon realizing her mistake (if it was one), she should have offered to refund some of the money. I will absolutely not being going back and unfortunately cannot recommend this tailor to anyone else. Oh, and the $75 she quoted us was originally $80. When I balked at the price, she dropped the price of the shirt sleeves by $5. I suppose if you hesitate before agreeing to the price, there's plenty of space to haggle. Don't accept the first price she quotes you! And if you can, insist on paying when you pick up, so you can further negotiate if she does a botched job. read more

I brought in 5 pairs of slacks and a uniform to get patches sewn on, hoping to get two pairs of pants same day since there were other customers requesting same day service. The seamstress was able to get my whole order completed in three hours. Everything fit perfectly. read more

Cho tailor is the best tailor I have ever dealt with, and I have dealt with a lot of tailor in my day I make custom clothes for some of the biggest hip hop artists in the industry. They make all my clothes from scratch and do an impeccable job at it. All my artists are more then happy and I cannot seem to keep up with their demand. Although, Cho's can! Very fast, and the best at it. What is better!? read more

See all

It is a simple deal - you drop off a garment, get an ETA and when you show up, it is done, done correctly and done at a fair price. Sounds simple, but most fail. Cho's lives up to promise. read more

Great! Any simple mistakes are fixed gratis...but they've been minimal. Have had a handful of pieces tailored and more than a handful repaired. All great work! Thank you read more

Best price and expertise in town. I've had for pants hemmed here and they've always turned out perfect. Highly recommend!

These ladies do wonderful work at very reasonable prices! I don't take my clothes anywhere else. Great service, excellent results and much cheaper than the large department stores...what more do you want? read more

Original 2-star review: The proprietor is very nice, but we had a miscommunication. I needed cuffs on two new (and expensive) suit trousers. Unfortunately, she performed a simple hem and the mistake cannot be reversed. Not only only am I out of $22 for the alteration, I now have two trousers that are less than ideal for wearing (my tall and slim build require cuffs on trousers so that they hang properly). She charges $18 to alter cuffs on my trousers (I ordered a total of five suites), but I will take my business elsewhere. If you take your tailoring to this business, definitely get a CLEAR UNDERSTANDING as to the alterations that will be performed. UPDATE to 3-star review: Took two trousers for cuffs. Made sure we were clear on what I wanted. Work was delivered on-time and of good quality. read more

Awful service, disrespectful owner, and to put it simply, NEVER GO HERE. Took a dress to get hemmed to have two layers match, however they ruined my dress. When I returned to show then the uneven dress and ask politely for my money back the owner was confrontational. She yelled at me and told me it was my fault and that with her "40 years experience" she's never had an issue. She continued to scream at me in front of other customers, and then walked to the back of the store to give me the silent treatment. she offered to repair it- for a fee, and ignored me when I said it would make the dress too short. I brought the dress in and she marked it correctly but when faced with her mistake, told me I should have tried it on in front of her. however a few months back I brought in a dress and tried it not and had it marked, she made it uneven and too short. I gave chos a second chance because it's closest to my apt but I will never return. Fancy Cleaners down the street has better prices and exceptional service. read more

Cho's Tailor & Alteration - Outside lining was supposed to be at the same length as the inner, darker lining. clearly the hem is crooked and done wrong - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Terrible service and shoddy work. The item wasn't done when promised. I was told I would get a phone call when they were done. 6 weeks later. No call. Finally was able to stop by and the seam was puckered. The woman at the desk got mad at me for questioning their work saying it was hard and to stop talking they would fix it. This is not the way to talk to customers. She would not let me take my item and kept telling me to stop talking it was hurting her head. Do not go here. read more

I'm happier than a squirrel in a peanut factory that we now have a master tailor in the neighborhhood. Took my old ratty trenchcoat down and it came back in less than 24hrs good as new. Totally reasonable prices and excellent work. read more

I had a dress that was about 5 inches too long. The add says $6.99 for a simple hem. I'm unsure what is more simple than a straight line but maybe they mean men's pants. Either way I was charges $17 before tax. The transaction was pleasant the woman that works there is great and it is a nice place. When I went to go pick up the dress I couldn't because the employee didn't know how to work the card machine and I didn't have cash so I had to come back 30 minutes later. That was a tad frustrating. I will know better next time to specify the time to come back. read more

I've had five men's suits tailored by Nancy. All done clean and fit nicely... and reasonable prices!!!! Getting one more done with her.

Not a fan. Unexceptional workmanship, no major complaints. But when I visit a tailor with clothing (menswear) I need altered, I expect them to have some idea as to how it ought to fit and to look. I expect to be told up front what will need to be done to achieve that result, and similarly, how much it will cost. And given the steep prices here, I expect it to be delivered when they say it will be delivered. Those expectations weren't met. I should have just done what I thought about doing in the first place, and taken it to Nordstrom downtown. I might have paid a little more, but now I'll be taking it there anyway, and paying to have the same items worked twice. Unprofessional. Avoid. read more

She is amazing. The prices are fantastic, the quality superb and it is lightening fast!! I will be a customer for life!

Took a pair of work pants to Cho's for a hem and paid less than $10 for it. They were friendly, and the place was very clean inside. Can't complain about this place at all. read more

Cho's is a few blocks from my apartment in belltown and has been the tailor I use most often since I moved down here from the Edmonds area about a year ago. Every time I go here is hit or miss. I have had some items done very well and to my liking. However, there are a couple items I've brought in that the tailor just refused to do, saying it was "too much work." Now, I understand that some garments can be particularly tricky to tailor. I am a very small woman and have had to have most of my clothing items tailored for a good part of my life, so I'm pretty familiar with what it takes to tailor particular items. However, it seems a bit ridiculous, or perhaps just lazy, to refuse to tailor something when you are a tailor by saying it's "too much work," especially when I say the price does not matter to me. If am willing to pay extra and I don't need an item for a month or more, I don't see why as a professional tailor you would refuse to do that. It's just not very good customer service. On other instances I've had the tailor tell me that something "can't be taken in" anymore than she had pinned it, even though I know it can be. The work that has been completed has,for the most part, been good, but I feel for the level of service I've received the price is a bit too high. One good thing I can say is that the item is always done on time. Oh, and they take credit so that's a plus. I would recommend this place if: 1. You live nearby, 2. You need something simple done (don't come here for anything even a bit complicated), and/or 3. You need to pay by card. For any complicated garment alterations I would recommend finding a different tailor. read more

I had an expensive down jacket that I ripped and it was fixed quickly and for only $12! I am so thankful that she was able to save my favorite jacket. Will be returning & recommending to friends! read more

They fixed a jacket, it was a great deal. When the jacket needed a little more work, they did it for free. Without any expectation, they are truly kind honest people. Thank you. read more

She Shortened my basketball Jersey that was to knees so happy! I went to many places and all of them said no they can't doit. Thanks!

I paid to have sleeves shortened and an additional button and button hole for my coat (provided button as well). Once received I showed her that she had forgotten to add the button and she claimed that was not on the ticket and that I was trying to take advantage of her. I took the ticket to a friend of mine who translated it and there it was "add a button/button hole". Do you think she honored that ticket? Nope. Never again! read more

I was very disappointed by the service of this place. The tailor didn't even ask to put the cloth on to alter and try to just 'eyeball' without taking any measurement. The attitude of the tailor was so unpleasant that it makes me wish that no one needs to get the same feeling that I had by visiting this place read more

Had some pants that needed some alterations. Took t in and they had it done within 3 hours. Very nice lady and she knew her stuff. Prices where very fair and a lot less then I was expecting to pay for same day service. read more

Took in a pair of jeans that had recently developed a hole. The patch job was wonderfully done with an extremely fast turn around all for $12. The staff was very friendly and the store has a very professional feel compared to most in the neighborhood. Will definitely be coming back for future needs. read more

The prices are good, but you get what you pay for... I had a pair of dress pants hemmed here and the hem unraveled after only one day of wearing them. Really disappointed in Cho's Tailor & Alteration. read more

I love them. Fixed my button on my wet raincoat on one of the first gloomy wet days of fall 2017. swand took pity on my wet sorry ass. I will be back. read more

A wonderful tailor located conveniently in Belltown. Very nice service and excellent work.

Completely awful! Cho's is overpriced and puts out unaccepted work. The tailor completely ruined the dress I asked her to take in. Defiantly a waste of $27 and a great dress. read more

Cho's Tailor is the shit!!! I love Cho!!! I took a costume in that needed to be repaired and she restiched the whole costume for $20!!! Everytime I pick something up, I drop something off because her prices are so good and she does an amazing job!!! Thanks Cho!!! read more

Pricey and when requested a fitting, received a no. And one of the items was repaired not in a way I requested. Although the location is convenient, I would rather walk farther for a better service for that money. read more

I wasn't impressed. My hiking pants have a snap closure on them and the closure ripped. I dropped off my pants for what I thought was a simple repair. When I got my pants back, it was $2 higher than what I was quoted plus instead of a new snap closure a new button hole was cut and a different style button rather than a snap closure was put on. read more
