Jose's Tailor Shop - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Monroe, Louisiana

If I could give 0 stars I would. I brought my wedding dress here. The disorganization and clutter/mess should've been it from the get. But he came highly recommended for some reason. Dropped my dress off needing minor alterations in the shoulders and a bustle. He told me come back in 2 weeks to pick it up. The 2 weeks pass I show up and he has no idea who I am or why I'm there. My dress hadnt been touched since I left it. He was apologetic and goes to say he injured his foot and was in the hospital, and come back in 1 week where he will have it finished. I showed up to my second appointment and trying to get the dress on I realize hes taken it in around my hip area. Weird because we discussed that my shoulder straps were the issue to begin with. He takes out the wrong alterations, pins the right ones back in and says "can you give me 2 weeks?" At this point im frustrated, but agree. Fast forward to today, 2 weeks later, hes late to our appointment (which I called yesterday to confirm) when he tells me put the dress on today and still it's in the same condition I left it in 2 weeks ago. Untouched. Asks me "can you come back in 2 days?" I said absolutely not I will be taking it home today. When he then Proceeds to get the little bit of work I need done on my dress in about 12 minutes. Stitched the shoulder straps of my white wedding dress with yellow string. Then really told me I still owe him $100 more for this total shit show. read more

With 25 years of experience, Jose's Tailor Shop is one of the best in town for any tailoring or alterations needs. The tailor shop relocated to a business complex across from Lee Junior High School. The building itself is perpendicular to the ACS Relay for Life office. Hours of operation are Mon-Fri from 9am-6pm, Sat from 9am-5pm, and closes for lunch daily from 12pm-1pm. Don't let the small, unassuming storefront discourage you from visiting the shop. We have had alterations done on jackets, shirts, dresses and pants without any problems in a timely manner. Mr. Jose has always been very welcoming, friendly, personable and delivers the best customer service experience. It was very easy to communicate with him. He takes the time to ensure accurate measurements at drop off and pick-up of your clothing items. (I'm not sure why the previous reviewer had such a bad experience, because I cannot imagine Mr. Jose acting in an unprofessional manner). Mr. Jose is very knowledgeable in providing expert tailoring and alterations for men's and women's clothing. Prices are also very reasonable and affordable. I highly recommend Jose's Tailor Shop and encourage you to support this great local business. read more

Efficient and affordable! I called on a Thursday and needed a dress done by Friday and they gladly helped and did a wonderful job!

Jose has been my tailor for the last 10 years and he really knows his stuff. My sons now use him too.

The experience with this owner started out pleasant but ended poorly. I took a dress to be altered, and Jose pinned the dress to get the correct measurements, but when he cut the dress, he cut way too much off--making the dress so much shorter than it needed to be. He had to get different fabric added to the dress to make up for his mess up. You can clearly see where he messed up--it's noticeable because it's patched up looking. I didn't pay for this level of work--patchwork is what it is. I asked him if he could offer me a discount due to his mistake. He grew angry, he argued with me, and told me he would not do business with me again. I paid him, and he yanked the money out of my hand and shoved my dress to me. I do not appreciate the unprofessionalism when he was the one who messed up. That's not right at all to treat a client this way. I do not recommend. I do not recommend. I do not recommend. read more

My experience with Jose was riddled with dishonesty and unprofessionalism. I took my wedding dress to him in November in to be let out and to add some lining because the bust was see-through. This are not easy fixes by any means, but Jose initially told me he would be done with the dress in two weeks. My mom lives on the other side of the country and she stayed in town to see the dress completed. When we went in two weeks later, Jose told us that he just had a few more things to do and to come back later. We asked if I could try the dress on to see the changes he had done. After trying it on, it was apparent he had not touched the dress at all, which he admitted after he confronted him. For the next two months, I was constantly told that the dress would be done within days but there was always one more thing to be done. Finally in early January, we decided we couldn't take it anymore and we took the dress. Jose completely ruined it. It was dingy and the structure was irreparable. I had to buy another wedding dress in Jackson, Mississippi two weeks before my wedding. Jose caused me unnecessary stress at a very stressful time and cost me thousands of dollars (between ruining one dress and having to buy another one). He did not communicate clearly and was rude to my mom and I when we pushed him for clear answers. Do not take any serious alterations to him. read more
