Kim's Custom Tailoring did a great job for us. Family flew in from Europe to be a bridesmaid in a family wedding. Only had 7 days before wedding. Got to Kim's late Friday afternoon to see a sign they were closed Monday through Friday for vacation. After explaining the situation they agreed to alter the dress by the next day, before they closed for vacation. End result was beautiful work, and I very much appreciated the extraordinary effort! read more

Mr. Kim tailored a jacket for me taking it several sizes down. It fit perfectly after it was done and it just took a few minutes of measurements. The service was very professional. I was pleased with both the price and the service. I would highly recommend this service. read more

Kim's did a wonderful job hemming a chiffon dress I needed for a special event. I brought it on a Wednesday and it was ready that Saturday. It took all of 2 minutes for him to mark the dress and take my payment, and my husband picked it up for me with my ticket. Easiest alterations ever. My only fear dropping off my dress is that it smells like the Japanese restaurant next door in there- and not in a good way, however I am relieved to report that my dress doesn't smell like day old seafood, so no harm done. I do also realize this is in no way the store's fault- I just mention it ease your mind that your clothes will not reek at pickup. read more

Always great customer service!! Can do any kind of tailoring possible... The only tailoring place I'll step foot in. Been coming for years!! read more

Kim's Custom Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Excellent! I've had dresses, jeans, skirts, tops, and suits tailored at Kim's, and they always do a great job. The prices are fair and they have a quick turn around time. read more

This place does an amazing job! I've had multiple dresses and skirts hemmed and taken in, as well as several pairs of premium denim shortened with the original hem. Everything has always fit perfectly! Prices are comparable to other local tailors, if not cheaper. read more

This place is amazing! I had bought a dress and needed it within the week for a wedding I was attending. Mr. Kim was not only able to make me feel comfortable while getting measured, but gave me unparalleled results! Mr. Kim's work is so good that the dress looks like it was custom made for me. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get anything altered. Super happy with everything. Can't wait to wear my dress! I will definitely be coming back when I need future alterations. read more

THANK YOU to all the Yelpers who reviewed Kim's. I went there based on some great reviews here, and he really delivered. I recently lost a ton of weight and have had trouble finding nice wool (lined) dress pants for work this winter. I had two pairs in my old size, so I decided to take them to Kim's and see if he could transform them into my current size (only one size down for these particular pants, but they looked huge). I was concerned because the woman who fitted me seemed to barely speak English, but I did my best to communicate what I wanted. The temperatures were dropping that week into the 20s, so I wanted to be able to wear these wool pants ASAP! I asked if I could pick them up 24 hours later, and she said yes! It cost about $24 per pair because of the lining -- so even doing two pairs, it was far less expensive than buying even one pair of new lined wool pants. I returned the next day at the appointed time, and they were ready and looked fantastic. When I tried them on, I was completely impressed. He is a magician. I will be taking any alterations here from now on!! read more

I was a fashion designer for 13 yrs in NYC so finding a good tailor is hard for me because I know how to sew and can sense shotty work a mile away. I dropped off a black tie gown that needed hemming. Bloomingdales was going to charge me $70 Kim's charged me $30 and that included securing one of the beads that fell off AND fixing the bulkiness in the back zipper so that it would stop getting stuck on the way up. It had been bothering me since the day I bought it, but I didn't bother to mention it to him. He caught it on his own and just offered to fix it. (I'm sure it was in included in the price though. Lol. There's nothing free in life). Anyways, I picked up the dress and it was as if nothing had been done to it. PERFECTO!!! The hem looked great, perfect length, and the zipper works much better now. Kim's does MORE than just a "sew sew" job!! ;) read more

I have taken several suits, shirts, and pants to Mr. Kim over 3 years. I've seen him for minor work, like shortening a sleeve, and for major alterations like reconstructing my suit jacket. It's only worth seeing a tailor if they do the job perfectly. It requires a lot of skill, perhaps not found at dry cleaners that offer tailoring services on the side. Ideally, you want your clothes tailored at a fair price. Mr. Kim's shop offers tailoring services exclusively. He does perfect work, and his price is usually fair. It's not cheap but it's not expensive either. He can work on price depending on the quantity of clothes you give him. Very reasonable. As a one man show, he can sometimes be in a rush to deal with you if there are many customers waiting. But it doesn't mean the quality of his work is rushed. Happy to have him as "my tailor". read more

Let me say that of all the things I stress over when I move finding a good Tailor /Seamstress is one of them. US clothing lines rarely make my size so most of all my clothing needs to taken in and fitted. I stressed for a year reading local reviews to find someone I could trust with my clothes. I found that person in Mr. Kim! My husband and I take all of our clothes to Mr Kim's for repairs and alterations. If I spend money on nice clothes I'm not going to entrust them to just anyone! I feel like I can entrust even my nicest items to Mr. Kim with confidence. His shop is evidence of his abilities. You walk into his shop and there are racks of coats, suits, gowns and dresses. Mr. Kim is knowledgeable, professional and polite. It is obvious that he knows what he is doing and is very experienced. I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to trust with their clothes! read more

They were able to hem my dress for a wedding I am attending same day! Quality fast service !

Overpriced for what you get. Most of what I took in to get hemmed was still too long, so I had to leave it again, and it smelled when I picked it up the second time. I greatly regret taking a bridesmaid's dress there and wish I had gone to a better seamstress. read more

We have been customers since they were located in the mall. I am glad to have renewed our relationship with them again. My husband used to have all his suits tailored here and more recently, my daughter needed her prom dress tailored to her size and frame. We came about a month in advance with the dress and gave them about two weeks for the first fitting (just in case it needed more work). However, it did not! The dress fit her to the T, straps were shortened, chest area was fitted, and the hem was shortened as well. Looking at the work close up, you would've never known it had been touched! I am willing to travel for a good tailor and this is certainly one! read more

5 stars: Kim did a very good job here on my dress! I took the dress in for a hem, but I noticed the top side by the boob had completely ripped when I got there. Maybe I didn't notice when I bought it? Kinda freaked out because it was for a wedding out of the country and I left in 2 days. I wasn't sure if he could fix it with the bright orange thread needed, and this delicate thin lace material that stretched across the chest, but Kim did an amazing job! Looked as if nothing had happened to it! It laid fine across the chest when worn. The hem was fine too. Reasonably priced. Fast service. Will use this shop again. 4stars: Communication. :/ read more

This place is awesome. They've done uniforms for me and I just picked up a suit. He's not the cheapest but I feel like I got more than my money's worth. If you need to it fast he's also great at quick turn arounds. Just ask and they try and accommodate you as best as they can. I'd highly recommend. read more

Recently moved to this area. I have had 3 dresses altered at Kim's. Excellent work on each piece- and fit is perfect. Although not inexpensive- seems like going rate for quality alterations in the area. read more

Mr. Kim did a great job on hemming my prom dress about a month ago. I was really worried since I procrastinated and took the dress in last minute before prom as well as the fact that I need like six inches off my dress since the dress came with a small train, but Mr. Kim handled everything so calmly and quickly. I also was worried about how the dress would turn out since the material was chiffon and I didn't know if it would still retain that flowy look it had but everything turned out great and I was so ecstatic. I will definitely be back if I need anything altered in the future! read more

Fast and great work! I went to them for Halloween when I bought a costume that fit all wrong. I was worried that they would turn me down because it was terrible material and just overall cheap. Not only did they do it, they did it just in time for my party and the fit was fantastic! I would definitly recommend them and will go back to them in the future. read more

I've been coming here even before when they were inside Springfield Mall. Mr. and Mrs. Kim have been nothing but gracious and very helpful. I have a particular fit and he knows just how to make it perfect. I've brought over ten dresses and suits for work, and they fit wonderfully. I trust Mr. Kim and I'll keep coming back in the future. read more

This is a great mom and pop shop! They've been servicing the Springfield area for 25+ years. I love that I can go in, get measured, and get out in under 10 minutes. read more

This place did a great job altering a bridesmaid dress I had for a wedding. They let me pick the date I wanted to pick it up, which happened to be a week from when I needed it. I ended up paying $69 for the alteration which I think is a little steep, but they did take it in on the side and shortened the dress which had 3 layers. All in all they did a really good job and I would go back if I needed more alterations. read more

I came in yesterday to get my dress altered and they did a EXCEPTIONAL job. I has to do a rush order and it was ready in 45 min. And it fit perfectly! They are proficient and the quality is superb! Highly recommended! read more

I bought a dress for my engagement party that was a bit too big in the bust and back area. I brought my dress in on Monday morning, he pinned the dress and ensured it was what I wanted. It cost $30 and was ready by Thursday evening, the day I requested. My dress fit like a glove! For the cost, I would definitely go back. I have a brand new custom fitted dress :-) read more

Mr. Kim did a wonderful job. Prices are in line with the area and his work is wonderful!

I have taken my clothes to Kim's twice now and I have been pleased both times. However, I felt like it would be best I hold off on reviewing until I had more done. This past time I had trousers taken in for $19, and I am happy to say it's worth it. I don't know what other places may have a reputation for, but I'm not gonna try anyone else. A $12 hem is not bad when you can't get it done by the retailer. If I or my wife need anything worked on, this tailer will be our choice. read more

What brought me to Kim's were the great reviews on here. They had met my expectations with excellent service.

Took my wedding dress here to get a bustle, about an inch taken out, and a sweetheart neckline. Another seamstress had quoted me at $950. Kim said he could do it for $150. Everything turned out great, took him a month (but really it's because I told him I didn't need it for a month). I was extremely happy with his work and definitely will take anything else I need worked on there! read more

First time I tried Kim's for alterations on golf pants. They did a fantastic job; very professional and detailed oriented. You can tell the person is a tailor versus just being a seamstress. They altered my pants to my specifications with a 3 day turn around. The cost was very fair especially for the detail of taking them in, slit on the sides and perfect hem. I will be taking other professional attire to them in the future. I would trust them for suit alterations. I highly recommend Kim's. read more

Kim's Custom Tailoring came out #3 in a three way comparison of tailors with Y&Z Tailors (Woodbridge) and Potomac Tailors (Woodbridge). The comparison was done by taking three identical jackets (and myself) to three different tailors and reviewing the results. Communication - I had a hard time understanding him, and little confident he understood me. Expertise - He seemed to believe his expertise was high enough he didn't need to listen closely to my description on the first to adjustments; but the end result was not correct. Didn't notice the third fit issue. Work Quality - The sleeve length (on my unequal arms) was wrong. It's bad enough I'm not going to give him a second chance and may need to give up on the jacket. Price - Price was slightly lower than Potomac, but much higher than Y&Z. Would not recommend. read more

My husband and I have been taking items to Mr. Kim for nearly 11 years and have never been disappointed. His work is excellent, unrivaled by any other tailor that we have used. We are so happy with his work that we send him items for repair and alteration from our new home in Florida! We highly recommend Kim's Tailoring for all of your tailoring needs and we will continue to use his expert services for as long as he is in business. Charlie and Christine Fenton read more

My husband and I were operating last-minute before the Marine Corps Ball. We read the reviews on Yelp and trekked over to Mr. Kim the morning of the event, hoping for the best based on what we read! We could not be happier! My husband dropped his dress blue jacket and I dropped my dress with a request for same-day alterations, and Mr. Kim was professional and so kind to rush-order the items... at a THIRD of the price I had been given the night before at some cleaner's down the street. For a dress hem, the cleaner's had given me a $150 estimate and was rude about it. Mr. Kim looked it over and settled with me on $55. What a NICE, professional, skilled man who offers swift service. We will use him again for sure! read more

I will definitely use Kim's Custom Tailoring for now on!!! I bought a lace sheath dress online and it was too big. In only 2 ( yes, 2) days my dress was altered to perfection!!! Great customer service and late hours, awesome price, exceptional workmanship!!!! read more

Mr. Kim did an amazing job of getting my new suit tailored in less than 24 hours so that I could look decent for my job interview. I was in a bind and he did a great job of helping me out. I will be returning for all of my tailoring needs. read more

I have no idea how did they get those good reviews??? Worst customer service ever, they treat customers like garbage, it was not my first bad experience with them !! The lady working there is horrible worker a complete service shut down!!! The second time I went there she rudely said No with a wicked smile and then she turned her back for me, like I was asking her for charity .....! That's not a good way to Handel business with a horrible customer service I'm not sure if they understand English language!! A complete Failure, I don't advise any one to go there !!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE read more

I have been to Kim's for minor alterations for my teen's formal dress and my husbands pants over the past year. Each time the customer service was not the best but I did not have any complaints on their work. I have had many major alterations done in the past as well as customer dresses done through my trusted tailor in DC. Yesterday I decided to give this place a chance and took a Mac Duggal gown to get it shortened and add a back with the excess fabric to be removed. As usual, I was directed to the changing room to put my gown on. The consultation with the tailor left me wondering if he understood what I wanted as it was a one way communication (me talking with no acknowledgement from him). I took the dress off and handed it to him. He asked when I needed it and I said in 2 weeks. He started looking at the calendar and said it is going to be $280. I responded "it is higher than I expected". He said "it's a lot of work" and without a pause or any other word, he proceeded to take the pins he had put on my dress to mark. He then pushed the dress to the side and without any other word or even eye contact, he started serving another customer. I stood there in disbelief for a few seconds, grabbed my gown and exited. What I was in disbelief about was not the price he quoted but his lack of human decency (because this is a much lower bar than customer service). Needless to say, nobody from my household will be returning to Kim's Custom Tailoring. I will happily spend more that $280 where I will be treated with human decency, or better yet, where my money and business are valued. read more

Everyone wrote a great review on this place but my experience wasn't the same. First, I think it's ridiculous to charge $10 to sew on a patch on a t-shirt. Second, lady who took my order was bit rude. She had an attitude when I asked if she can rush this. If you are charging me that much just for one patch, I can do without an attitude and you can hustle my order. I don't think I will return. read more

We have taken four of my husband's suits, all of our dress pants, a formal bridesmaid dress, and a handful of men's dress shirts to be altered and have NEVER been let down. The staff is extremely talented, speedy, and competitively priced. We do not go to any other tailor and recommend this wonderful business to everyone! read more

Mr. Kim did an excellent job on my dress. He definitely has a good eye for altering clothes for the perfect fit. He was very friendly and took the time to listen to my needs regarding the dress alterations. My dress was ready in 4 days and looked fabulous. I will definitely be back when I need other alterations done. read more
