Great service and great job. Michael basically saved the day. I realized just a few days leading up to my wedding that my dress didn't fit in the bust area and he was able to magically fix it. It fits like a glove now. I was rejected by so many seamstresses that wouldn't do the job in such a short period of time, but Lamoda put me at ease and delivered. Thanks to Michael and his team!! read more

Hands down one of the best tailors. Michael repaired a moncler jacket on very short notice and it came out perfect. Super responsive, fair pricing, and great craftsmanship! Would highly recommend! read more

This place is amazing! The staff is knowledgeable and so responsive. As someone who hates trying on clothes, I felt very comfortable and heard. The results were perfect and I definitely will not go anywhere else for alterations. read more

Great service Quick and super attentive Happy to have found it in Kew Gardens 5 stars Highly recommended read more

Michael is amazing. I needed my wedding jumpsuit altered and he not only did it within the estimated time he did it EXACTLY how I wanted it. In addition he altered my wife's outfit as well. We went to another tailor who said the alterations we wanted couldn't be done. He made the alterations flawlessly and I am sooo pleased. Now I have one less thing to worry about on the most important day of my life. The customer service I experienced not just from my Michael but the whole business demonstates that quality customer service is still valued in 2023. La Moda is 10/10!!! read more

They did an excellent job on my suit but darn I was so close to giving them a 5 star review. When I gave them my suit to be tailored, they promised me that they would return my garment bag and hanger, so I felt comfortable. I got my suit the scheduled time and when I asked for my garment bag, they lost it. Usually I would be okay with this but the suit I purchased was pretty pricey from Ralph Lauren and I would have loved everything back that came with it. I understand that I am not going to carry it everywhere being flashy but I would like them to be careful by keeping their promise to not lose personal items that were pricey. A replacement garment bag is not the same that the actual brand gave me and it would have been nice to see it as soon as I open my closet door. I told them to call me when they find it because I definitely felt unhappy as soon as I left. read more

I don't think I can say enough good things about La Moda, the owner (Michael) or his colleague (Mr. Francis.) To say that I am satisfied is an understatement. I brought in my bridesmaids dress that was in desperate need of alterations as it was too small, too long and just about everything was wrong with it! I had EXTREME anxiety because I had brought the dress to several other tailors that refused to touch it. I called Michael and explained my situation (mind you, this is a week and a half before the wedding!) he immediately told me to come in. When I came in, Michael was assisting another customer but this was fine as I was a walk in. I observed Michael to be polite, calm and patient. I was eavesdropping a tad LOL and noticed Michael gave his recommendations to the customer but also encouraging the customer to do whatever he is comfortable with. Since my dress could not fit, Michael tore it to pieces LITERALLY. I was super anxious about this as I could not see his vision but he began pinning and seeing what he could do and work with. I agreed to leave the dress with him and was set to come in the following week. I went in TODAY and was in complete awe. My dress fit! It hugged my curves. It was astonishing. Some minor alterations needed to be made and Michael said to give him about an hour and it'll be ready. My experience with La Moda has been amazing. From start to finish. Michael is an absolute sweetheart. Mr. Francis as well!! I am so happy to have found them because they saved the day!! read more

I had torn my leather jacket by the belt loop and honestly thought that it was damaged. I had reached out to the brand of the jacket for assistance or even a referral but was unable to get any help and stumbled upon a few tailors/leather repair shops. After being quoted $300+ I was considering buying an entirely new jacket but then found La Moda which happened to be 20 minutes from my house. I called and texted an image to Michael and within a few minutes he said no problem and quoted me a price I hopped on immediately. Michael told me to come in the same day, and when I came in, he immediately said what he would do and was confident he could repair the tear as seamlessly as possible. I was told to wait 2 weeks. A week later, I received a text and photos saying that jacket was ready. Not only were they able to repair the tear, but it was done in a way to ensure that it would not unravel and for a smooth leather jacket you can barely see where the tear was to begin with. I am so happy with the work that was done and in conversation with Michael he assured me that any other products I have can be brought in. I am so happy I trusted the reviews and found my new go-to spot! read more

Great place to take party dresses and fine clothing. Very professional and fast service. I burned a piece of a dress because the iron was too hot and they found a solution that looked very seamless. They charged less than I expected for the fix. I also took other two dresses to fix the hem. The price was a bit more than I expected for the hem but it was worth it since I could trust they would make a good job and the dresses I had were special. Everything was ready in 4 days. The business have been in the neighborhood for 25 years and now have a new location. read more

I appreciate Michael and his staff so much for repairing my leather jacket. He is so knowledgeable and my jacket was repaired beautifully and seamlessly. I will definitely come back for any future tailoring needs. Thank you again!! read more

Michael and his staff are terrific! I googled high and low for a while quality tailor to alter my daughter's prom dress. I was extremely nervous because I'd never worked with a tailor before, and my daughter was in love with this dress. I called Michael after reading the Yelp reviews, and I was greeted with a confident and helpful tone. I decided to give La Moda a try. Upon entering the shop, I noticed the pictures of his ancestors, which reminded me of my grandmother. Anyway, I was greeted by Michael, and immediately felt welcomed. He was very professional with my daughter, and he was very jovial. He listened to our requests, and he quickly pinned the necessary areas. Some of our alterations included taking out mesh, sewing in a different color mesh, taking in the waist, and hemming the bottom of the dress. I asked a million questions, due to my nervousness, and he remained patient. He gave me a pick-up date and we left with a glimmer of optimism. When we picked up the dress, my daughter was instantly happy. He had to make one slight alteration, and he did it immediately. Now, I will say this, a common theme among the reviews was "he's a little pricey." Folks, he's very pricey lol!!! read more

I brought my down filled winter coat to La Moda in desperate need of help. A little dog was so excited to see me that it jumped on me and ripped two holes in the side of my coat by accident. The feathers were flying out everywhere. I thought, "How could I fix such a thing? Sewing it would make the coat look ridiculous." Then I remembered that there is a tailor in neighbourhood! I'm very impressed and pleased with the outcome. The owner and the cashier were very nice people and they made me like I was in good hands. One week later, and I am so happy to be back with my trusted coat that they were able to save! read more

Awesome service and quick and on point!! You can't beat the price everything was seamless no pun intended

I had a custom made dress made in Nigeria that arrived 5 days before a friends wedding. The dress was still big on the arms and too long in length, and the slit wasn't high enough. Oh, the fabric of this dress has sequins (I know it's not easy to work with), and it's also prom season?! I brought the dress in to La Moda on Monday afternoon, and met a wonderful tailor who was patient and funny (really helped ease the slight worry I had of not getting my dress tailored in time). The dress was ready for pick up by Thursday afternoon -- cue in Hagrid's voice "Yer a wizard, Harry" ‍-- cuz the tailor did some magic and got it done in time. Thanks for such great service! If you're looking for a tailor in Queens, especially Kew Gardens, pls check out La Moda! Thanks again for such a nice experience. (might post pictures later) read more

Good afternoon everyone I came to this place because my brother told me they do a great job. I came to the place the gentleman was very nice and very confident of his work and I have to say I was very impressed with his work. He did a great job on my blazer. I was definitely happy with the service. I give this place 5 read more

I trust Michael and his team for all my alterations. Michael will find the extra inch, again and again, and Lark was wonderful finishing the latest work. In the past, I had to carry my suits all the way to Manhattan for quality work at a similar price. Thanks to La Moda, I can stay local and rest assured that my clothes are in good hands. Thank you! read more

I've used them twice for alterations, and each time have been pleased. A bit pricey, but probably about typical for NYC, and it's quality work, always ready on-time. I'd recommend and will likely be back. read more

I had a red bridesmaid dress that I ordered online that unfortunately I couldn't zip up completely. Michael/Misha was able to open up the dress and shorten the dress since it was too long. He did an amazing job and had it ready in time for the wedding. It was a bit pricey but the job is high quality. He also had great customer service. Will definitely be back for future alterations! read more

I'm not sure why it took me so long to discover La Moda, but I am glad I finally did. They do very nice work here, but they are a bit on the pricey side. I've had 3 dresses altered here and what a difference some alterations can make. On a Sunday you will find a line of people waiting their turn. They can do just about anything! Friendly, skilled and talented people are waiting for you at La Moda. read more

Needed a relatively last minute alteration to a bridesmaid dress, and I was recommended to La Moda. Michael took care of me and his nature was very calm and accommodating. He runs a great business and he treats every customer with care. I do have to say it's quite a pricey alteration, however his work was exactly what I needed and done in time for my event. I highly recommend La Moda. read more

We were really careful about just picking anyone to tailor her prom dress. Michael not only executed the mission but he did with very little time. My daughter received compliments all night. The extra details mine added to make it more readable for her to enjoy the night came in handy. Will be using La Moda for all our future tailoring needs. Thank you Michael and La Moda for making Prom "22 a night to remember read more

My boyfriend needed his suit tailored for a wedding. The gentleman did an amazing job. He asked where the wedding was and what type of shoe my boyfriend would be wearing in order to make informed suggestions. He shortened the sleeves, the pant legs, and tapered the leg (my boyfriend is short ). The suit appeared custom after the work was done. I think they are pricey BUT we did not shop around for prices so I'm not sure how prices compare for this type of alteration. The level of professionalism they showcased was priceless. They also change watch batteries lol read more

I had a great experience here. I had a residency interview to attend and I hadn't gotten my suit tailored the Monday of that week (my interview was Friday) and I came to La Moda. Michael helped me out and told me to wear my suit and even gave tips about what shoes to wear, what belt to wear and just general fashion tips. He initially told me it would take over a week but I asked him if he could get it done by Thursday and he got it done and it fit me perfectly! Some say it's expensive, but you get what you pay for: expert advice, someone who listens, quick service, and quality tailoring. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone! read more

On Tuesday I dropped off two jeans that needed to be hemmed at the bottom. Michael who is an expert at customizing clothing was so sweet. He even pointed out and suggested some things that had to be adjusted and recommended that it'll look better. Now he's been doing this for over 35 years so I trusted him and I'm glad I did. He was even able to fix them way sooner then the pick up date. The same week on Thursday afternoon I picked them up and I was so surprised there was even any tailoring done to them! Yes, he is that good! I couldn't even tell it was even done! But of course it was because when I went back home to try on the jeans and they fit perfectly. I am very happy with his service! I would definitely be going back to this tailor again. Thank you Michael! read more

I had a dress taken in and hemmed for ComicCon. This tailor doesn't do cheap stitches or weak work. I was stepped on, pulled, twisted and run over all day. But this dress was perfect. It may have cost more than I wanted it to, but my dress will never need repairs where they adjusted it. It fit me so well! Thank you! read more

Came here to get a gown hemmed for my formal. I was a little worried about it because the dress was two different materials and had tiny little pleats on a chiffon type material, but they did a really good job. The end result was a clean looking hem, I think they called it a micro-hem, that was the perfect length. When you get there if it's a dress they measure the hem with the dress on you to make sure the length is perfect all the way around. I also saw someone else getting a gown altered from top to bottom so it seems they do major alterations also which hopefully they do because I'll be coming back here for a bridesmaid dress that needs some serious fixing. Don't forget to bring your heels for dresses! read more

Michael was so accommodating and took me as a walk-in. Everyone was so sweet. Wasn't sure if 2 of my pieces could be done because of the seams but Michael worked his magic and made it happen. And after everything pricing was really reasonable. Thank you so much La Moda!!! read more

I came to La Moda because of the great reviews online, but I was so disappointed in the work and professionalism of the owner, Michael. I took a bridesmaid gown to be hemmed; it was floor length and I just needed 1-2 inches off. When I came to pick up the gown the staff could not find it in the store. This caused a great deal of anxiety as I was flying to California the following morning for the wedding and did not have time to find another dress. I had to wait for 1.5 hours for Michael to arrive and show his staff where the gown was. I did not try on the dress because it getting late and I needed to pack for my trip they next day. So their huge error was not revealed until I unpacked the dress the morning of the wedding. THEY CUT OFF ONE FOOT OF THE DRESS. I was horrified! The dress was supposed to be floor length and it was now a few inches below my knees. HOW COULD ANYONE MAKE SUCH A HUGE MISTAKE?!?! I had no choice but to wear the dress for the wedding, standing out from all the matching gowns in every picture. I felt like this was such an obvious mistake on the part of the tailor that they would gladly reimburse me. When I showed the dress to the staff they were as horrified as I was that so much of the dress was cut off. However Michael is a stubborn asshole - HE ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT HIS STAFF MADE A MISTAKE. He kept repeating "you were there" for the initial fitting, as if it was my fault. How could I possibly OK someone cutting a foot off my dress?? After arguing for several minutes he offered to repair the dress or make me a new one; what in the world would I do with a bridesmaid dress after the wedding has passed? He also offered to give me store credit - AS IF I WOULD EVER RETURN TO THIS STORE. I felt I was owed a reimbursement for this dress, or at the very least an APOLOGY! I could not believe after all the wonderful reviews on yelp how my dress was completely ruined and how stubbornly unprofessional Micheal was. I urge you not to give this store your business! read more
