I brought my wedding dress to Essy's Tailoring knowing the alterations would be very difficult because of the intricate beading throughout the gown. I had honestly prepared myself for the possibility of needing a completely new dress, but Abdul immediately reassured me and confidently told me he could make it work. He explained that because the beads were sewn all over the dress, he would need to carefully hand sew and adjust everything instead of using a machine. Despite the detailed labor involved, he was incredibly kind, patient, and willing to go the extra mile. When I returned for my fitting, I was amazed -- the dress fit absolutely perfectly and exactly how I had envisioned it. Since I'm very petite, several inches needed to be taken in around the bust and hips, so I truly appreciated the care and precision he put into the alterations. What surprised me even more was how affordable everything was, especially considering the amount of handwork required. Abdul even included a discount, which I was so grateful for. I couldn't be happier with my experience and highly recommend Essy's Tailoring! He saved absolutely saved the day :,)

Have had multiple clothes altered at this place and we always have a great experience at Essy's! They are professional, detail-oriented, and clearly take pride in their craft. My alterations were done well and ready on time -- everything fit perfectly. They listened carefully to what I wanted and offered helpful suggestions. It's rare to find such quality and care these days. Highly recommend for anyone looking for expert tailoring and reliable service!

I took my wedding dress for alterations. He did a fantastic job for a very reasonable price, he shortened the dress, took it in, and added a bustle.

Just 3 days before a wedding in France I had to get a last minute dress from the mall that was way too long for me. I was so worried about finding a tailor that could help in such a short time frame but he assured me he could get my family's 3 dresses squared away in 2 days with no added rush fee. He was super helpful and hemmed our dresses perfectly! Will definitely be back here for all my future events :)

If they don't answer the phone, just leave a message because they focus all of their attention on providing nothing less than personal, professional perfectionism. When it's your turn, they won't walk away to answer the phone. It's a process, similar to once an artist begins painting. My phone calls have always been returned promptly. A master at his craft, the man who has helped us (and who I suspect is the owner) begins to examine the garment and I can see the decision making start to happen as he marks, pins, and confirms his suggestions with our daughter. I appreciate having high quality flawless tailoring, along with calm and friendly service. They make a beautiful dress even better. The shop is a bit small, so try not to bring extra humans if possible. Despite the smaller size, there is an impressive selection of men's sports jackets , suits, and designer shoes.

If you are a bride, bridesmaid or have an important dress/outfit needing expert alterations, this is the place. I can't believe how great of a job they did. I asked them to hem, and do "work on my bridesmaid dress" to cover my cleavage and shorten the straps. The expert seamstresses came up with an idea to reuse the hemmed fabric to add a much needed inch to the draping of the bodice to cover my over exposed cleavage. They were able to do a rush job turnaround in a week, and the results were stunning. I would have been embarrassed to show so much skin, but they did such a beautiful job that the bride loved the dress on me even more. And their store location is beautiful. It was truly a VIP experience. See my before selfie. I'm quite exposed. And then the end result with a more modest finish.

Her attention to detail and knowledge of fabric, cut and style is impeccable. If I need something to fit me like a glove, I do not go anywhere else. I trust her with my everyday items, casual, business, etc. i'm so thankful for the day my husband introduced me to her. Her boutique is quaint and pretty and has a curated selection of clothing and accessories from all over the world. She made me look beautiful on my wedding day and did a great job of altering my Anthropologie gown.

They like to have a grand wedding with lots of guests. We start looking at dresses and plan for all the other details for the wedding. My family booked the appointment on line . She honestly put done 2028 as the future wedding date. A $25 fee was required to come look at the wedding gowns . Then an older lady staff called her back . She sounded very upset that she wedding would be in 2028 and not this year . She told her that " if you don't have money to pay for the dress , you could bring cash to tip your stylist! You are not buying a wedding gown now , I don't know what to do with you ! " She was so rude over the phone . My family member is a licensed health care professional. She was just in shock. Since she has paid the $25 on line for the 1.5 hour appointment, we showed up at Janine bridal today at 10 am on a Saturday morning . We arrived 3 minutes before 10 am . Two Caucasian ladies walked in ahead of us. There were two older female staffs inside . One with blonde hair and the other taller lady staff has dark brown hair . The blonde hair lady looked at us , did not smile, did not say welcome to Jaime bridal , or good morning. They helped the two Caucasian ladies ahead of us . The front counter was left with a younger Asian female staff . Her name is Christina. She worked part time there and she was our stylist for this appointment . Christina is very sweet , patient and helpful. After she knew that was our first time looking at the wedding gowns, she gave us a 5 minutes introduction of the gowns and the basis set up of the bridal shop . Then we looked around and pulled 6 dresses to try . Christian helped to fix each gown and made suggestions like how to tailor it to make it look nicer on the bride -to- be . After one hour of try and error , we narrowed down to two wedding gowns that we love . Christina wrote done all the details , gave us a small card for the information. Then she mentioned the trunk show coming up at the end of January 2026 . But we are obligated to buy a wedding gown if we attend the trunk show . Today is January 3, 2026 Saturday. We would have a bad experience about Jaime Bridal from the way the other lady talked to my family member with the bitchy attitudes. Thanks to Christian , these have all changed . Customer service is the primary focus on retailer business . I am not sure how this could have been misinterpreted.
