I came here to have a dress tailored. I ended up having to come back for fittings about 5 times. The dress had a train and in my first session, I asked for the train to be removed and for the sleeves to be shortened. When I came back to pick up the dress, the train was still attached and the sleeves were not short enough, despite them taking my measurements in the first appointment. I came back again and the train was removed, but the sleeves still weren't right and the adjustments made the waist too tight. So they then had to take out the waist, which took another couple of appointments to get right. Considering they took measurements during each fitting, I felt it was a bit too much trial and error. They were very kind, but there wasn't enough precision with their work. The shop would often get quite crowded and several times, there was a wait to use the fitting rooms. On the positive side, they were fairly affordable. In the end, the dress fit decently well, but I'm not sure I'd use this tailor again. read more

I really can not express my upmost gratitude to Raymond at Flatiron Tailors. I recently brought in a dress that had a HORRIBLE botched alterations job and Raymond did more than saved it. A very skilled tailor who understands how to make a dress look just right. The service is excellent. Thank you so much! read more

Went in to have a suit tailored for an important event. They said it would be ready in a week. It wasn't. On top of that they kept mentioning other changes to make which I didn't want or notice in the first place to bother with extra alterations.What's the point of suggesting to do more when you couldn't even do one thing on time read more

This is the only tailor shop in NYC that I use. I recommend it to all my friends. They have adjusted a number of pieces for me and the results are always perfect. Their prices are reasonable and I am glad to leave a tip when paying. Highly recommended. Great service with reasonable turnaround times. read more

Fantastic job! I had two complicated gowns altered here for a special event recently. The staff was great to work with and nailed it on the first try, which was great, because I didn't have much time for adjustments. The whole process took only a couple of weeks. Highly recommend! read more

Stay away from this place , they promise high and deliver poorly. I gave them multiple chances hence I love to help small business. Took some designer pieces here and the tailoring was just terrible. They promised me to make it right once I called out everything they had done wrong and they fixed it. Went back again since this had promise this will never happen, same thing poor work, terrible fit, stitches and threads all over for $175 called them out on it and I said to please just deliver my pieces since I was coming from queens. They said they would 1 week later nothing I had to call them to tell them they still have my garments, their excuse was they were too busy. They charge high prices for the quality of work. Stay away from this place and invest in Alts tailoring instead, same prices better service, they listen and do impressive work! read more

Earlier this week, I dropped off a suit to be tailored and told them I needed it by today. They told me that was fine and to come after 3:00 PM but before they closed at 5:00 PM. Well, I showed up shortly before 5:00 PM and was told my suit wasn't ready. No one called in advance to give me a heads up so I'd at least avoid the trip over. They told me I'd have the suit early on Monday, but, at this point, who knows? This place isn't cheap--they charged me over $200 for the alterations--and the level of service doesn't meet their price. read more

Just dropped off a shirt with two small tears to be picked up in two hours. 25$ And the service from the young man behind the counter was TOP NOTCH. It's the kind of service you'd expect from a 7th generation family owned Amish dairy farm read more

Ramon and Ivan take care of you and their shop is one of the few still left in NYC that does the old world tailoring. Recommend !

Really sloppy, poor quality work (they used to be good but now they're not). They had to redo a pair of suit trousers of mine 7 times (messed up the hemming, the tapering, etc) - every time I went there they'd made a new mistake! Also messed up the sleeves of my suit (which they then tried to fix - only partially successful). On another pair of trousers they did the legs in two different lengths. Gave me a $50 credit for the trouble but that doesn't even begin to cover all the time and frustration they caused. Definitely wont use them again. read more

Amazing tailors with incredible craft! I took a fully beaded dress here that needed quite a few alternations including tapering in the back and narrowing the sleeve. The dress is incredibly heavy and full of intricately sewn beads. These guys got it done in a week and for a fair price! read more

Love this place! I needed my daughter's flower girl dress taken in pretty quickly; we went on a Saturday, they had it done by Wednesday, and it was easy and perfect! Price was very reasonable. read more

Came here for a bridesmaid dress - Flowy, Tiered, etc, needed it to be taken in a bit at the sides. It wasn't too complicated. I was quoted $150+ and got them down to $125, which was more than I wanted to spend but all good, it was a convenient location and they were nice / seemed professional. When I went to pick up my dress they had a 45 min wait to try it on and check it and I didn't have the time so brought it home without trying on. They had sewed my dress into itself and fully botched the job. Had to find time in days leading up to my event to rush it back and ask them to fix. They were unapologetic and got it done at the very last minute with no refund or discount to my overall job. Not impressed with customer service and don't trust their sewing! Will take my business elsewhere next time read more

Needed straps taken up on a wedding guest dress in less than 3 hours before my train- helped me without charging an additional rush fee. Dress was ready on time and altered very nicely. Definitely my local tailor now. read more

Flatiron Tailor Shop is by far the best tailor in NYC. I have used them for several items in the past but recently, they helped tailor my rehearsal dinner dress. The dress was a very challenging task and they tailored it absolutely perfectly, even sewing in a 3rd layer of fabric to make it less transparent. They rushed the turnaround time, knowing I had a deadline for the dress. They are a real joy to work with and excellent at their craft - I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, thank you for everything! read more

I have small shoulders for my frame and I'm a hard fit when it comes to jackets and some fitted dresses. I brought a jacket here a few weeks ago and needed it altered. They were really friendly and were careful fitting the jacket across the shoulders and somehow managed to adjust the waist a bit because of the way the seams tapered in toward the waist. I wasnt' in a super hurry because it's still not cool enough to wear it, but they fixed it quickly. It was a little pricy, but honestly, when they do a jo that good, you get what you pay for. All around great experience. The jacket fits great!!!! Thank you! read more

I asked them to shorten 2 pair of jeans and use the original hem. They did not do this. I spent $50 for them to ruin two pair of pants. They did not re attache original hem. They folded it over and stitched it. They do not look right or lie correctly. read more

They did a great job tailoring a pair of leggings and was very affordable. Will definitely come back!

I came to Flatiron with quite a task. I had done an immense amount of research for a custom job and I needed a tailor to help me assembling the the pieces. I'm so thankful that I came to Flatiron, they knocked it out of the park. I was putting together a high end replica of Kylo Ren (the main villain from Star Wars Episode 7) and I came to Flatiron with literally a packet of details concerning the costume. They told me with complete confidence they could help me. When I returned to my first fitting, I was floored. It was amazing. The costume called for a well tailored cloak and billowing hood but also the sleeves needed to be extremely form fitting and be entirely pleated. I can say with upmost confidence that Ramon's sleeves were the best I've ever seen. Their attention to detail blew every tailor I've ever been to out of the water. But what impressed me the most with Flatiron is how much they worked with me personally every step of assembly. They always asked questions and made sure the details were right. And if I brought up a detail they always found a way to do it (unlike a lot of tailors who I had to fight to incorporate the details). The costume is work of art and Ramon is entirely responsible for it's expert craftsmanship. It looks like the costume walked right off the set and everyone at my theater lined up for pictures. This costume is my prize and joy and I can't thank Flatiron enough. If you need any custom job (suit, costume or anything in between) you must come to Flatiron. The quality is unparalleled and you won't find better service and prices anywhere in the city. read more

Flatiron is the best at tailoring gowns! Ramon and his team are extremely knowledgable about dresses and will make you feel like a princess in your fitted gown! So far, I have altered 5 gowns at Flatiron Tailor. For one of the dresses, I changed the entire structure of the top, which was a challenging alternation that Flatiron did perfectly. For the other dresses, I had to take in the sides, which is tough when the gowns have boning but Flatiron fixed it beautiful. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Nice and fast. I had to get simple alterations on a dress and they were able to do it and get it perfect in one try. I wish they took credit card as they only take check or cash read more

BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE! HANDS DOWN! I went to Flatiron Tailor Shop because they were one of the only tailor shops I could find open at 8am so that I could go or pick up before work... I went to get a black evening gown hemmed. When I picked up my dress, I didn't have my shoes so I tried on at home and wasn't happy with the length. I went back the next day and met with Jamil. He assured me they would make sure it was at a length I was happy with at no additional charge. I needed to the dress that evening and expressed I'm not sure when I would be able to pick it up due to work conflicts. He told me he would help me out and offered to have the dress hand delivered to my office - again at no additional charge. The dress arrived absolutely perfectly. Not only did they do a great job, but above all they are good PEOPLE with exceptional customer service. Thanks again! read more

After years of searching for a good tailor I finally found Ramon at Flatiron Tailor. Highly skilled and accommodating. After loosing 30 pounds I found myself in need of a new wardrobe. Ramon and his team were able to refit my favorite jackets and coats and now they look better than they did when I bought them. I highly recommend Flatiron Tailor, go visit them and get your fashion right. read more

To start out with - I have been coming to Flatiron Tailor Shop for about a year and a half. Every single thing I have brought (shirts, jeans, trousers, blazers) have taken 3-6 attempts at getting right. These are for basic alterations as well (Hem, slight taper of pant leg, shirt darts). Every pair of pants I have gotten back have had each leg a different length, or one leg tapered slimmer than the other. Each leg opening has been a different size. When I tell Raymon, he says they'll fix it, and do the same thing over and over again. A lot of times I don't realize until I wear the garments weeks/months later. I recently went back and measured every garment I took from them. Not ONE piece was correct. For a hem...? Seriously...? They are very friendly, but very unorganized and do not pay any attention to detail. I would come from Jersey every weekend in hopes they could get it right, but they could not. Saturday after Saturday, hundreds of dollars down the drain... The final straw came recently... I brought about 11 pieces to them at once. ($365) EVERY-SINGLE-PIECE came back messed up. Including a $1500 suit that is completely ruined. They were tasked with shortening the sleeves, but altered the sides/shoulders/everything. The jacket barely buttons anymore. It does not take an extensive background in menswear to know when a jacket has no shoulder padding, but comes back with a square shoulder. Some of the pants weren't touched at all. One of the pants that was supposed to be taken in at the waist and hemmed, was actually done to the wrong garment! When you show them what's wrong, they shrug it off like it's no big deal and say they'll fix it. They don't. They make it worse. I bring everything on a Saturday and they say it will be done before the following Saturday, but it never is. All in all, this "business" lacks any form of process, procedure, or craftsmanship. If you have a month or two to wait around for minor alterations, then this is the place for you. read more

The fact this place has any stars is insane. They made me pay BEFORE my alterations and on top of that they completely changed the fit of a jumpsuit and left my pair of pants too long. There was zero care given to my clothes. read more

Highly recommend! I came here fuming after a horrible experience at Flormont Tailors. I needed simple hooks placed on two dresses for a vacation I was going on. Flormont Tailors not only held onto my dresses for five days, they totally botched the job (you can read the review on Yelp). When I arrived at Flatiron Tailor, Ramon couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. He assured me he would fix the botched work and get the job done in 24 hours. He even matched the price of Flormont (his rates are usually slightly higher). When I returned the next day the dresses were ready to go as promised. I asked if he could slightly move one of the hooks (just my personal preference, not a bad job on his part) and he offered to do it on the spot. This will now be my go-to tailor as they are prompt, professional and personal! read more

This tailor is easily the best I have ever been to. From my favorite leather jacket to tapering all my pants to hemming my favorite jeans, each job was professional and extremely well done. Their prices are beyond fair and the turn around time is astounding. I am so impressed by the team at Flatiron Tailor Shop and their ability to make me such a happy customer. Will continue going here with all my tailoring needs!!! read more

I found this tailor shop by chance and I will never go anywhere else as long as I'm In New York. They are impeccable, even by my ridiculous standards. They truly care to make sure that you're satisfied and their skills are superb. As if that weren't enough incentive, their prices are totally reasonable...especially given the quality of the work and the customer service. Top notch. read more

My favorite tailor in the city. The men here are so incredibly nice and do a wonderful job. Definitely go here if you're in the area!!

Got my prom dress tailored here. It was perfect afterwards :D

They were fantastic. Really fast turnaround and perfect tailoring for an expensive jumpsuit that was pleated and had delicate fabric. And the pricing was more than fair. read more

Honestly I love them. I was referred here by B&B Couture after purchasing a dress for my formal that happened to be that evening. I ran to Flatiron Tailors (conveniently right around the corner) and they had all alterations finished by 5pm that evening. I have since returned multiple times, and been more than satisfied. Recently I took a gown which happened to become very dirty from a wedding I attended in Cartagena, Colombia. I thought that it was definitely ruined, however the gentleman assured me that it was fixable! Sure enough, all beading had been replaced and the gown looked as good as new! I am so happy that I will be able to wear it again when attending another wedding later this year in Lima, Peru. read more

The best! I've been coming here for years and years, theyre super fast, very fairly priced, and they take care of my clothes (I never get scared something is going to get ruined). I can just as well bring a Forever 21 skirt as I can bring a Stella McCartney jumpsuit, I trust them with everything! Very recommended. read more

Brought a suit here for tailoring in advance of a wedding. They said they'd turn it around in 10 full days, which I already felt was a little slow. To make matters worse, when I arrived at 5pm 10 days later--the exact time noted on the receipt--to pick it up, they said they were "currently" working on it and I'd have to wait a couple of hours longer....not sure what was happening for those prior 10 days. They also suggested every alteration imaginable, even minor things you wouldn't notice, to maximize the price -- for example, they wanted to rotate the sleeves on my jacket despite there being no observable issue, which was $120, or nearly half of the total charge. If you have any sort of deadline or need something done before an upcoming event, do not rely on Flatiron Tailor Shop, they will ultimately disappoint. I would recommend this, at best, for a casual request that can be completed any time. read more

I was recommended this place by B&B Couture for my daughters prom dress. I must say they did an amazing job with her dress and we couldn't be any happier. Thank you for making this day perfect for her. read more

I came here to get my prom dress tailored and they did an amazing job . They did exactly what I asked for within a matter of days. Thank you so much read more

I came in here for alterations on my prom dress. Let me just say the people here are super friendly and nice. I had to add a lining for the entire dress since it was pretty see through, and the straps needed adjustment. I went in for my first fitting, and it was absolutely perfect. In total I paid $275, which is reasonable since I did have to do some work. But I guarantee your clothes are in good hands. read more
