****Edit 3/1/2016: I had to take off a star because $14 to shorten a pair of slacks is ridiculous.**** So glad to have this place close to home and open until 7pm on the weekdays so I can come in after work at 5pm. Oftentimes, tailoring places are closed by the time I get off work. I brought in a dress that needed to be shortened in a rush! I brought it in Monday evening and needed it by Thursday. Evan was very sweet and knew what he was doing. Sure enough, the dress was all ready for me to pick up Thursday evening. A sewing job well done! I was charged $40, which isn't bad considering the material of the dress and how quickly it got done. The dress was a hit when I wore it to the Portland Youth Philharmonic at Arelene Schnitzer Hall on Saturday night. I'm very pleased and will be returning here for my future tailoring or hemming needs. Oh, p.s. cash or checks accepted only so be prepared. You can pay before or after pick up. read more

I have been taking my family's alterations to this shop for ten years and have always had exceptional results. The owner has hemmed and altered every one of my two daughters dresses for high school events such as prom. My teenage girls are very picky about how they want to look at all of these events and he listened carefully each time and made the changes that they requested perfectly. This is not a fancy place but an old school taylor that does great work. read more

Shame on me for not trusting the reviews. The language barrier is not the problem though it is difficult to communicate. I took three shirts to be altered. One shirt needed the sleeves shortened and that was it. Well that's all he did. Forget that longsleeve shirts need to be tapered towards the wrist and just cut it off and sew, it that's what I paid $15 for. My other two shirts were too long so I needed them shortened. Once again he just cut them off and sewed them. Now instead of fitted shirts they are just short wide shirts each costing me $15 apiece. Then try and have a conversation with him about these things and you'll waste your time because he seems to not understand at that point. read more

I took in a pair of jeans and a dress to be shortened and a dress to be altered in the sleeves. All three were done perfectly, in a very reasonable time frame, and a fair price. I will be returning with more pieces that need to be altered in the future. read more

This is an old school tailoring shop that does not take short cuts. The owners are elderly and may be difficult to understand but they have sharp eyes and more importantly nimble skilled hands that can alter clothing to fit perfectly. It is a shame they will be closing after more than 30 years. read more

The sweet gentleman Evan, who does the tailoring here, was so very kind and efficient with my husband and me! I can't say enough good things about him! We walked in and his shop is small but laid out well. He greeted us and seemed genuinely happy to see us and have our business. Having never gone here before, it was nice to feel immediately welcomed. My husband needed a suit taken in, as he has lost weight. I needed a bridesmaid dress shortened. He was very good at placing onus quickly and correctly along the seams that needed to be taken in. He was happy to here we didn't need our garments back for about 2 weeks. On the way out, he thanked us very much for our business. Very kind elderly gentleman. We'll definitely be back. read more

STAY AWAY. this is the worst place ever. I took in two very expensive dresses- one had a tear at the neck, the other needed the shoulders pulled up/shortened and the bust tacked down. he literally used an IRON ON PATCH to mend the torn dress, did not tack down the bust of the 2nd dress only closed it with a safety pin. 10 days and 22 dollars for what? the work was shoddy at best. never ever come here. it is not worth the errors in communication and your items being ruined. read more

This business has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The first time I went in with a jacket with too-tight sleeves. They said nothing could be done, and I thought okay, it was a long shot anyway. I got the jacket in a larger size to fit in the sleeves and needed it taken in at the waist as it now fit me like a bag. After pinching at me, the man there concluded that it didn't need to be taken in. When I said that I nevertheless would like it altered, he repeated that it didn't need it because it was a winter jacket, and refused to do it. I will never take anything here again. read more

The shop is very dated in terms of appearance, and it is somewhat difficult to understand Evan (the owner and only employee). However, his work is first rate!! I've taken numerous items to him over the last 5 years (pants for hemming, suit alterations, coats, etc). He does top-notch work and his prices are reasonable. I've also taken stuff to Gina's Cleaners in Lake Oswego, and while they do good work, it's not anywhere as good as what you will find here. read more
