I found that my body shape has changed in the past decade and I was looking for a good tailor to alter my better clothing. Based on reviews and experiences with other shops in the area, I found that Hong Kong custom tailors was the best for me. They offer alterations, custom clothing, and dry cleaning services. They're conveniently located just off exit 2 on i-87, with plenty of parking, and very convenient hours. The communication was excellent, as was their knowledge of styles and clothing. I followed their advice on the alterations, and the clothing fit perfectly for the event. Pricing was, while not the cheapest, very fair for the quality of work. This is the tailor that I'll use, going forward. read more

One of the rudest people I've met, got mad because I wanted to pay with two payments told me I was wasting his time, card has a minimum of 25 and it was only 49, got angry and rude because I wanted to pay $50 instead. I'm giving you more money!!!! Terrible would not recommend. read more

I brought my coat into this establishment since the zipper on my hood broke. I refuse to wear a winter coat in NYS without a hood. Hong Kong Custom Tailor not only did a great job in repairing the zipper problem, but the cost was very reasonable. I would recommend this tailor to anyone! read more

I have gotten quite a few things tailored or repaired here. They have always done a great job and it's a great value. If you need a tailor, look no further! read more

I had 2 wedding bridesmaid dresses altered. They did a superb job and are well priced and fast when you need them to be. A quarter the price of David's bridal. The parking is a little crazy but it's fine. read more

I recently bought a dress on a sale rack for $19 bucks that was more than one size too big while on vacation. I had a friend's wedding to attending to and thought this would be a great dress for the event. I couldn't pass up the sale! When I got home and tried it back on I realized how GIANT it was on me, probably 2-3 inches to be removed from the waist and an inch on the shoulders. I had never been to a tailor before but I felt that this tailor did a good job on helping me fix up this dress that would have been unwearable without the fixing. It cost $58 dollars for all the alterations, but she had to do a lot to get it to fit me. It is actually a pretty high end dress (originally around $100) so I feel that it was worth to get it fixed so I can wear it for more times to come. Everything fit well when I tried it on, it took about 3 weeks to finish but I wasn't in a rush so I told her whenever she could have it done. I will say the store inside was a bit of a shock, lots of equipment, garments, children running around but she did have dressing rooms and a large mirror to point on the changes. I paid when I picked up which I thought was a good policy. I wouldn't feel comfortable paying before I saw the changes. My mom (who made her own prom dress back in the day!) saw the dress after it was finished and said the work was very well done but the dress was not pressed when I picked it up. I've attached a picture of the dress after it's changes! If you could only see how the sack fit on me before! read more

Good place for dry cleaning clothes. I've used their services for dry cleaning high end clothes and even for alterations. The service has been very satisfactory and I highly recommend this place. read more

Rahima took in a strapless chiffon bridesmaid dress from David's Bridal for $39 and turned it from a frumpy sack to a form-fitting beauty I am now excited to wear. More people need to hear about this business! read more

I'm a cyclist and was super excited to look like a badass roadie in my new team kit for a big group ride in June. Got a little gutsy, took a descent WAY too fast down a hill, crashed, and got a really nasty case of road rash. To make things more exciting, I ripped a huge hole in the butt of my pretty new cycling shorts and mooned everyone on my way back to my car. I had a race in 2 weeks and wasn't ready to pay $80 for a new pair of shorts, so I took my road-rashed shorts and my damaged ego to Hong Kong Tailors. Even brought an old pair of cycling shorts to use to patch them up, if needed. They looked at it, smirked as I told them my story, and said it wouldn't be a problem. Why cut up the other ones when they have material that will work just fine? I picked up the new shorts a few days later and they were as good as new! Custom tailoring for suits? Sure. Patching up bike shorts for someone who crashed her bike and is not ready to part with them? You bet! They lasted the rest of the season! read more

I took two bridesmaids dresses here and they came out great. The owner is extremely friendly and does a beautiful job. The appointments were very quick and easy. I would definitely bring more clothes here again. read more

Had to bring my wedding dress which was custom made in Dubai here so I can let out and take in different areas to give me the mermaid look I wanted to accomplish and needed it within a week. They made it so easy for me to do my 2 fittings and pickup in 4 days even after helming some of the bottom and steaming my dress and veil. I can't thank you enough working so hard to ensure my dress fits me perfect! Definitely recommend read more

I haven't had any clothing custom-made here, but I have had a few suits and sport coats altered by Rahima, and her work has been superlative. Keep in mind the no-frills shop is not a showroom, it's a family workspace, and affects a professional intimacy rather than a sales arena. Highly recommended. read more

I was doing some Spring cleaning and had a bunch of pants and a suit that didn't fit as well because I've lost a bit of weight and my body style has changed. So I decided to give HK Tailors a try before I took it all to donations. I had a bit of everything done, including hemming pants, bringing in waists, and slimming down the suit jacket. I'd have to say that they've given these clothes new life. Everything fit very well. I will definitely go back to them for all my tailoring needs. They also do custom suits and I will be exploring these options in the future. read more

I am so happy with the work that this establishment did on my bridesmaids dress. The dress initially fit me very badly. I dropped off my dress and 2 weeks later it fit me like a glove! I got so many compliments on the dress at my sister's wedding!! Thank you Hong Kong Custom Tailors!! read more

I brought my 1910 grandmother's hand-made lace cathedral length veil to Rahimeth. No one in my family believed it could be saved. It was terribly fragile and missing some pieces. I knew I was taking a huge risk, but I didn't have a choice (the wedding was 2 weeks away). She made it look absolutely brand new, added a comb, and invisibly gathered the tears. I can't praise her work enough. Thank you! read more

Not very good service. I asked if they could remove the belt and they agreed, but when I collected my clothe it turned out they did not. quite tricky. not recommend. read more

It was a great experience. I had a bridesmaid dress I purchased at David's Bridal and needed to have the dress shortened by a few inches and bra hooks put in so that my bra wouldn't show. I had 3 fittings and the dress is beautiful. Steaming was included in the very reasonable price. I'll definitely be back. read more

The quality of the work is excellent and the prices are quite fair. The service was efficient and polite. I highly recommend Hong Kong Tailors. read more

I had two pair of lined black pants hemmed at this business by Saboor about three years ago. Although the shop focuses on men's tailoring and custom European suiting, they also do alterations for women. One pair was wool, the other crepe--and by a very expensive designer, both purchased at TJ Maxx. Saboor hemmed both pairs perfectly, and at an extremely reasonable price. He was very professional, zippy and precise at measurement, and the turnaround time was fast. I don't know if they have changed since, but the premises is very small, and the dressing room is only a cubicle with a curtain. It is not set up for customer comfort. But if you know professional tailoring, you won't care. The space they have available is used for cutting tables, European suiting fabric sample books, sewing machines, and fabric bolts. This is a true tailor's shop--not a boutique. If entering through a shadowy staircase and sitting on a folding chair annoys you--go elsewhere. But if you want excellent, quality tailoring or alterations, for extremely reasonable prices, this is the place to go. read more

The lady there seemed very nice and pleasant. However, she was very busy the day I asked her to have my bridesmaid dress altered for tomorrow. I know it was sort notice. She had so much work to complete, and it looked like she could not have my dress finished when I needed it. She said she would do it, but it would cost more. I was so glad she could do. I picked up the dress the very next day. I paid her $65, when normally it cost $25. When I got home to try it on, she did not even work on it. THE DRESS WAS STILL THE SAME!! I did not even go and complain to her, because I had to leave for Long Island three ours later to meet up with the bride. Do not go here in a hurry! YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF! MY advice is carefully look over the work after it is done. Otherwise, she is no nicer than a scam artist. read more

I haven't tried other establishments for alterations or tailoring so this is not a review fit for comparison to other businesses. I've been here 3 separate times to alter pants and 2 coats and I've found the attention to detail and the fit of the finished products to my liking. Therefore I've never bothered to find another establishment. The work is done in a timely fashion without ever any delays and the service is attentive as well as relaxed. read more

This place is EXCELLENT! I had a dress custom tailored for a wedding here and it would take a magnifying glass to tell I had it altered. I brought the dress in 2 weeks before the wedding and felt terrible about it-- Hong Kong Tailors was professional, friendly, and SUPER accommodating! They even offered to go out and get the fabric themselves if the fabric I brought did not "fall right" with my gown. I am so happy I found this business and will definitely be returning!! read more

Do not come here !!!! The ruined my daughters wedding dress they couldn't figure out the bustle for her wedding dress and charged me for a hem that was crooked. I had to take it someplace else for emergency alterations and it cost me more then the wedding dress to fix the bad hem and bustle with only two days before the wedding!!! I will be filing a complaint with BBB and taking to small claims court for the faulty work and my extra expenses. read more

Very nice tailoring of a super slim mens suit. I had the jacket + dress shirt sleeves and break shortened which turned out very well.

Nice job with the quality of alterations but on the expensive side for basic men's alterations. Jacket waist $60 which has cost me around $30 in the past. Pants hem $15. read more

I sent them an email on a Monday night asking if there was any way possible they would be able to alter a cocktail dress for me that I needed by that Friday at 3pm. Rahima emailed me right back and told me to bring in the dress so that she could take a look at it. I brought the dress to her the next day and she told me that it would not be a problem. She didn't even charge me extra for the rush on it. I picked the dress up on Friday and when I tried it on it fit like a glove. I would definitely recommend that anyone go here for any tailoring needs. I was so happy. She turned what I thought was a hopeless request into a positive and got the job done. Thank you so much Rahima, I will definitely be sending more customers your way! read more
