    The back is where the zipper was removed and the neck hooks were put in.

    Absolute great experience!! I brought a dress in to have a zipper removed and hooks added as the replacement. I brought it in and in a week's time he had it ready for me. The seams were done beautifully and were very neat. In the picture where you see the opening is where the zipper used to be, so the dress has a completely new look thanks to the work of Mr. Kim. He was already really reasonable especially for the quick turnaround. Will definitely be back for other alterations!

    New address.

    I am sorry to leave this place a negative review but first let me say that the person on the phone seemed agitated. Next I went in after he said he could only do prices in store. When I showed he was saying how hard something was to do that I have done myself for $5. He wanted 3x the amount other places had quoted and I honestly do not know he really understood what I was asking for. Will not be back there agai.

    I am very pleased with the alterations for a pair of jeans and a very expensive pair of trendy sweatpants. The sweatpants were extremely long with zippers and elastic at the ankle. I thought the sweatpants would be impossible to hem. I was wrong. Mr Kim made it possible and I was surprised at the accuracy and detail given to the repair. I definitely recommended Kim's for all your alteration needs, you will not regret it.

    Kim's and $15 at another highly rated tailor in the capitol hill area (but his quality is better).

    I cannot deny how excellent this place is. Amazing tailoring service!!! Thanks, Nikola for rushing…read moremy order and applying great alterations to my dress. I've been a loyal customer for years and learning that Stephen has retired was hard but I'm happy that he left the business in great hands. Can't wait to return

    This was such an amazing experience. Ask for Chris, he's an incredible artist when it comes to…read moretailoring. I bought my tuxedo for my wedding at a fancy-pants made to order website based out of NYC. They had my measurements, and all was set for the perfect tux. Well, when it finally arrived, it looked like someone had painted it on to my body. I could hardly breathe, let alone anticipate moving around or enjoying myself. Thankfully I came across Chris' website- "Stephen The Tailor". I quickly booked an appointment. Chris was kind, funny, and welcoming to me and my (now) wife. He put us both at ease, helping navigate all that needed to happen. Neither one of us imagined that the suit that was delivered would be salvaged. Chris, must have taken every stitch out of this three piece to reconstruct the perfect tuxedo for me. I still cannot identify what he retooled. Easily the mark of a true craftsman and expert tailor. The photos speak for themselves. It was the perfect outfit for the perfect day. The dry cleaning alone was flawless (my wife was wishing that's where she took her dress prior to our wedding)! Needless to say, I'm all in with this shop. They get the good dry cleaning, and Chris is hired to make all of my future suits! That's right, he's a bespoke suit maker, too. If only I had come to him first... he could have easily crafted this outfit- Jacket, shirt, vest... all of it. Save yourself the headache. Go see Chris. He's the only person I will be seeing moving forward! Thank you Chris!! You're a true hero to us both!!
