Being new to the area and very petite, I was in need of a local tailor. Plus I was going to need someone to do alterations for my wedding dress later this year, so better find someone trustworthy now. (See, Mom? I plan ahead.) Decided to give Fancy Pants Tailor a shot since their website said they specialized in formalwear. Right up my alley of needs. Michelle was prompt in responding to my query on their website and setting up an appointment, and I can't tell you how convenient it is for them to come to me instead of my having to hunt through The Woodlands for a shop (inevitably hidden behind trees, being The Woodlands). Michelle and her mom arrived promptly for the appointment, bringing along everything necessary to get me measured and fitted in the dress I needed altered. They were very friendly and professional and also extremely helpful in making sure I was wearing the underthings/heels I wanted with the dress so it would fit perfectly. They also explained exactly what needed to be taken up (hemmed, obviously, as I am five foot short) and taken in (the bust/shoulders). They also gave me options for how I wanted the top taken in: a quick fix that would be cheaper or a more precise fit (involving recutting the armholes and realigning the entire top and back) which would cost more. I picked the more expensive option because I wanted to alter the dress to fit from now onward, and not just for a one-time wear. I felt the prices were reasonable for their work -- and when I got the dress delivered back (another perk!), the worksmanship was great -- and the timeline reasonable. To be fair, I wasn't in a rush. The dress took about 9 days total, but anything with more delicate fabric or more work to be done may take longer. Of course, simpler things may also take less time. They will give you a timeline at the appointment and I'm sure you can discuss with them if your needs are different. Great work, very friendly, and very convenient. I'll definitely be using Fancy Pants Tailor coming forward. (Also, you gotta admit it: a great name.) read more

This lady ruined my cousin's wedding dress! RUINED. Absolutely horrible. Do not use KIM. She made the dress NOT FIT AT ALL, then proceeded to tell my cousin to LOSE 15 lbs! We only needed Kim to shorten the dress because it was too long. She made it WAY too small, and she moved the bustle to the center of her butt. and she moved her belt to under her boobs instead of her waist. Makes no sense at all, the dress is pretty much trash at this point. Kim was paid in full and NEVER OFFERED A REFUND! read more

Business is in a house and you will get the address only when you have an appointment. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable however it is pricy. Just to hem a dress was $75. I thought hat was a bit too much I would have to try another place to compare. read more

I needed a few things done last minute to my bridesmaids dress for my sister's wedding and Fancy Pants Tailor made that happen! Everything that was going to be done was explained clearly to me so that I knew what the dress would look like in the end. We decided to just do a few changes because I'll only wear this dress for one day, which saved me money. I will use Fancy Pants Tailor for all other jobs needed - thank you for making me feel beautiful in my dress! read more

I had a fantastic experience here. I do not know anything about tailoring, yet she was very friendly and very patient, even offered some gems of advice when it comes to taking care of my clothes. The location is super clean. I had a medical jacket, scrubs, a suit and pants altered. I am very satisfied with all pieces. If you are looking for a place to get your clothes tailored this is the place to go. I would set up an appointment with her by calling first because that is the fastest way to get in contact with her and getting everything you want processed efficiently. read more

Sung is the bomb! She is seriously the sweetest, most caring, and hard working seamstress/designer that I have met. She cares more about the customer and educating about her trade than she does making extra profit. There have been two occasions where I needed a sports coat/ suit altered very last minute and she made it happen. Both times were very lengthly and involved complex revisions that I wouldn't trust anybody else to do. She recently did some last minute alterations for my wedding suit the day before with a smile, staying up late hours of the night to get it done in time for me. I have learned so much from Sung and can truly say I am glad that I met her. What a wonderful person! I highly recommend Sung for any alterations. read more

I went to get minor alterations and was very disappointed. She wanted to charge me $80 to shorten the straps. Additionally, when I asked her for what I wanted, she replied, "you shouldn't do that. You know pictures last forever." I thought this was a rude comment. I ended up taking my dress to a different tailor who charged me $12 and was very accommodating! read more

I had ordered a jumpsuit online for a wedding I was attending. Being that I am only 5'3 I obviously had to have it hemmed. I researched tailors on Yelp and Fancy Pants had AMAZING reviews. I took it in on December 16 and she had it ready on the 21st with plenty of time for the wedding on the 29th. She did an amazing job and she did it quickly! I will definitely be going to her for any tailoring needs I have in the future. read more

I looked all over Conroe for an alterations shop I could trust to take my business suit for interviews and I am SO glad I chose to come here! She was very kind, professional and knowledgeable about clothing design and tailoring. She took the extra time to measure and pin both sides to ensure that my sleeve lengths were equal. She explained that my shoulders sit uneven and therefore each side needs to be measured. Her work his high quality work and it is worth every penny. She takes time to make sure the piece of clothing looks like it was never tailored in the first place. She's that good! I highly recommend taking your clothes to her! read more

Fancy Pants Tailor did an AMAZING job altering my (very complicated) wedding gown. Both Sung and Michelle were very professional, accommodating, and excellent with back and forth communication via e-mail. Sung was completely honest and upfront when it came to what she would and wouldn't do with my gown. She was very detailed and explained everything in a way that made me feel 100% confident that my gown was in excellent hands. Her prices are well worth the impeccable skills and top notch workmanship you will receive! Totally recommend. read more

Best tailor I've ever seen! Fancy Pants Tailor (Sung) is--hands down--the most knowledgeable and helpful tailor I have ever had. I came to Fancy Pants Tailor because I was in need of suit tailoring, for both my pants and jackets. Upon meeting Sung, she took my measurements and explained both the obvious and subtle distinctions for obtaining the look I desired. In addition, not only does she know the tricks of the trade, she'll help you find the look you want. For example, I bought 2 new suits thinking there were "quality-made" because I paid $900 (buy one, get one $150); however, this was FAR from the truth! As soon as Sung looked at the suits, she told me they were not good suits. At first I thought she was kidding, but then she showed me why. First, she took out a ruler and measured both the left and right shoulders for each suit. In both suit tops, the right shoulder was 1" different in length compared to the left shoulder. As a new suit buyer, I mistakenly assumed all suits were made equally on both sides. This is NOT the case. Second, she had me feel the fabric and explained that polyester wool is commonly used because it prevents wrinkles in suits, but is also much less breathable than wool and terrible for Texas summer months. Finally, she recommended where I should shop for suits, and even the brands. After returning the $900 suits and taking her advise, I got 2 $1500 suits for $1000--thus only paying $100 more for much better suits. She even FaceTimed me while at the store to give me advice. Needless to say, I am very satisfied with my service and would strongly recommend Fancy Pants Tailor. read more

Amazing!!! I love her!! She taught me so many things about how to buy a suit, what to look for in dress shirts, and how to even hang my suits properly!!! Amazing!! I lost a ton of weight and had to get a suit resized and she did it amazingly and under a pretty strict time frame!! I look amazing in it and now it's made just for me...I will be buying a new suit soon and using her advice on how to shop for one, then take it to her and get it personalized perfectly for me. I wish she would actually make a suit for me, as she was a fashion designer before...I cannot say enough!! Very personal, very professional and outstanding work!! I will post an update and a photo of the suit on me soon! read more

Wow. Sung was extremely knowledgeable and taught my fiancé and I more about a suit than we could ever imagine possible. She is very thorough & passionate about what she does. I would recommend her to any one. Thank you so much Sung!!! read more

I would definitely recommmend them!! read more
