I am beyond amazed at the work produced here. I recently brought my wedding dress to get altered…read moreand had an amazing experience. My gown was purchased bigger because of the shape it needed to fit my shoulders which are larger than the average girl. It was way too big around the waist to begin with and then I lost another 40 pounds after I purchased it. My gown was a sample dress so it had flaws such as pulled strings and missing beads. Perfect Fit made my dress fit me perfect as well as fixing all the issues it had from being a sample. He did 3 bustles and took inches off the sides of my dress and charged less than $200 for everything. I will use this business for any alteration needs in the future I am so happy! PS my dress was lace :)

If I could leave no stars at all, I would. This was a terrible experience, and the way this…read morebusiness is run is completely unacceptable. I went in to have my son's blazer tailored. As soon as my son tried it on, the owner immediately dismissed the idea of tailoring it. Instead, he told my son--a teenager--that the blazer didn't look good on him, that it was too big, and that it didn't fit right. That was not only unnecessary, but also inappropriate. We didn't come in for his opinion on the appearance--we came for tailoring services. The owner refused to listen to what we actually wanted done and was very dismissive throughout the interaction. He claimed the alterations would be "too much" without even properly discussing options. He then started putting together what seemed like random, inflated prices on a calculator. At that point, we decided to leave because of how poorly the situation was handled. As we stepped outside, the owner followed us out and yelled, "You're mean and stupid." His behavior was aggressive and completely unprofessional. We felt uncomfortable and threatened. After I thought about it, I should have called the police. There is likely footage from nearby cameras as well. I also want to mention we were not rude, and we were very polite. **Careful everyone the owner will make a response and claim such things never happened at his establishment, like I just made up the whole thing for the hell of it, I would never write a bad review on someones establishment if it wasn't true!!**

The woman who works here has done a good job on hemming my dress pants. She makes spunky comments,…read morewhich to me were hilarious. Even though her work was good, I only give 4 stars because the place is honestly terribly messy and disorganized. When you walk in, it looks like an explosion of clothes went off and there are articles of clothing everywhere - on the floors, slung across chairs, randomly on tables... everything piled on top of each other. If you don't have the ticket she gave you initially when you return to pick-up your item, it will take much longer for her to find your items and she seems confused (not something that happened from my personal experience, but I've seen it twice with the customers in front of me). If you don't mind the mess and not-so pristine cleanliness (which I just ultimately overlook), the prices are really reasonable and she does a great job.

I dropped several vintage (1920s to 1960s coats) off about a year ago. I paid for them when I left…read morethem there. Over months, I picked up each when it was fixed. The last one, the most important, the oldest and my favorite, she had for EIGHT months. Over the course of those months, she had time to work on many wedding dresses, which were dropped off long after my coats were. With the advent of wedding season, my coats were deprioritized. When I finally got my coat, it had been relined (which I did NOT want or ask for) and an antique button was LOST. I was sympathetic to the fact that she'd been in a bad accident, but there is not excuse for devaluing one client in favor of others. I would never recommend this place for anyone who has clothing that is valuable to them.

This guy is the best tailor in Massachusetts, hands down. Literally you can bring just about…read moreanything to him and he can fix it or alter it. I brought him a Brioni sportcoat I bought on sale 2 sizes too small and he made it fit as if it was custom made for me. He's a magician. He can take a suit that was made in the 1990's and make the fit look modern. I used to bring my clothing to any tailor and nobody ever complimented me on my clothes. Once I started going here, I felt that my clothes fit better and others started talking about what a great dresser I am. He takes some of the garments apart right in front of you and shows you why other tailors can be butchers. You see a lot of cut corners, crooked seems and sloppy jobs in the work of others. Joe won't let it leave his shop until he's satisfied with the look. All those years, I had been wearing off the rack suits that didn't fit right. Joe can tell if one arm is longer than the other ... knows how you carry your weight to make your silhouette look slimmer ... and actually hems your pants to the right length because he knows how the clothes will shift when you walk. What good is wearing a pair of pants that look good when you are standing still ... if they are too short, or long, when you are walking or sitting? Is this guy the cheapest? Not by a country mile. Initially, I thought ... why would I ever spend twice as much to go to Joe (someone who trained in Italy) when I could spend half as much elsewhere? The answer is ... you get what you pay for. Wanna look good? Spend the extra. It might also take longer than average ... he's a one man shop. But, if you are really in a pinch, he will help you out and expedite your order ... if you tip well. If you need a dress done for a wedding next week, this might not be the place to go. But if you want the job done right, it's worth the weight. Tailoring is about more than just pushing a needle ... and you'll really notice the difference here. Joe is a craftsman and can make an ill-fitting garment look like a million bucks. Just remember ... if you buy suits off the rack and think they fit fine without a little alteration ... they don't.

Fixed 2 of my suit pants, shortened , taken in , great job, made them look more normal , like they…read moreshould be. Best Tailor around!
