I am not a fashionista, as I work from home and live in gym clothes. But, on the occasion I need something altered, or my hubs needs something altered, we go to Lee's. They are very thorough, and they are very kind. It can be awkward, trying on clothes and then having pins put into you. But, they are very professional and very quick, Their prices are reasonable, and their turn around time is great. read more

I asked her to hem inseam of some flared pants and instead she made the flare smaller and didn't change the inseam at all. Didn't realize until I brought home. Total waste of my money read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE they don't accept cards only cash or venmo the hours listed are not their hours of operation customer service was 2/10 I do not recommend read more

My dress came out perfect. No complaints, they will get all of my business. Plus they are close and convenient.

They altered my jeans perfectly. Additionally I brought in my prom dress because I thought it needed to be altered, but she showed me how to properly tie it so it didn't need to be. Only complaint is they don't speak perfect english so it is hard to communicate. Other than that they are awesome. read more

Would like to have given negative stars. Had a dress repaired and when I tried it on , the repair came apart. Went back to have it repaired and because it was past 30 days, Lee tailor refused to stand behind their work. I have been a patron of this establishment for many a year and will NEVER AGAIN Have any tailoring performed by them again. Their less than 2 star rating says it all. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. I cannot believe this place is still in business with ALL the negative reviews. read more

They are easily accessible so I kept trying them, but no more. I have taken in sets of curtains to be hemmed only to put them up & realize they were all different levels & off by an inch or two between the 4 panels (that sit together on a window & told them to make them al even). I even gave them the benefit of the doubt & went back to get another item fitted. Instead of telling me they could "fix" the one issue but not the other issue, they took my money (no refunds) & only ixed the issue with the item. We took pants there & had them hem them an inch. They are not even. We are done. I have another dress that needs a 2 inch hem job. But I don't trust them anymore & have to get over assuming these issues were me just being finicky. It's just bad service at this point. Oh, and they insist on payment ahead of time & no credit cards. If you can find another place, I highly suggest you go there. read more

RUN RUN RUN! Terrible customer service, huge language barrier and does not stand behind the quality of their work. We tried to get a dress altered and it was done incorrectly and they would not repair or return money. WRAL 5 On Your Side is next and by the way CASH ONLY with no receipt, what does that tell you! read more

I went to get a new metal zipper on my hoodie. I showed him what I wanted was a new metal zipper and I brought in another hoodie and pointing out the entire metal zipper. He said yes and then took my money and I'd get it in 2 weeks. I went back and I had a new metal pull but the zipper was the original plastic. I asked about the metal zipper and he said i get a metal pull and that I knew that. I disagreed so he took the metal pull off and gave me my money back. Now I have a jacket without a pull so it is useless. I asked for a different pull so my jacket was usable and he said get out and went to the back of the store and ignored me. So rude. No one should go to him for any reason!!!! read more

if I could give zero stars I would. I brought in two dresses to have pressed for my teenage daughter. I paid extra to have them done in 24 hours. When I picked the dresses up they look exactly the same as when I dropped them off with the exception of the bow in the back of the dress. I tried to voice my concern with the gentleman behind the counter, but he said no it had been pressed and then walks away out of sight. I tried to call him back, but he would never return. Needless to say I spent $30 on two dresses to be pressed and just not being done. This is not my first time with poor service from this location but I thought there's no way they could mess up pressing a garment. I will never give my business to Lee's Tailors ever again. I will definitely spread the word and tell everyone I know to never use this business again! It's a shame, have a lot of business I could send their way, but I will do just the opposite. Beyond disgusted with how this was handled by business owner read more

Absolutely horrible! This is not the same Lee Tailor's we used to go to over the years. My son's suit pants were not ready on time, we were told to come back later. We came back later only to find that his pants have been ruined. They do not know how to take in suit pants, they took in the waist band but did not take in the fabric as requested in the seat of his pants. We should have gone straight back to the suit store instead of using them - we will not go back after their attitude and poor workmanship. read more

They stated I could pick up my items on Saturday, only to arrive at the store during posted business hours and they were not open. I called the store and they told me to return the following day at 2pm. I showed up at 2pm and the store was closed again. I tried calling/texting, no response. I do not recommend as they are not dependable. read more

Went in to get 3 cargos pants altered (all the same size and brand). When I came to pick up and try on, one did not fit the same as others. Instead of correcting, they charged another $8 and have to wait another 3 days to pick up! Not returning to this place. read more

Charged $48 to shorten the sleeves on my tux jacket. Sleeve length is fine, but he did nothing with the sleeve liner, and it sticks out the sleeve by the wrist. I'll never take anything to them again. read more

See all

Last year I purchased a nice, thin jumpsuit although, like a lot of items it was too long. Fast forward I asked for my jumpsuit to be taken up a few inches and it was taken up alright... Let me say due to unforeseen family issue I was rushed and wasn't able to try on item when picking up. When I gained the chance to review the work I noticed it wasn't correct. I kindly go back a few days later to show them their work and how I wasn't pleased. The male continues to go back and forth with me saying it was done correctly and that the measurements matched. He wanted me to try it on... because of jumpsuits material and I slipped it on over my jeans.. ironically I was correct!!!! He said he could fix for free but when questioning how???? He said he'd let out the hym...... HOW?!?!?!? I asked?!?!? One leg is way too short and the other is good. He refused to give me the $14 back to resolve issue.... POOR, POOR customer service I should've known better because you can only pay with cash or check. read more

Lee's Tailors - Lee's Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

I dropped off 3 pairs of cargo pants to get taken in at the waist. Same size just different colors. The first I tried was perfect, the second was a little too tight and the third was obviously cut and sewn but was not tightened at all! I waited a week to pick up my pants be charged again for the one that didn't fit right. Mind you the dressing room smelled like a dirty diaper. They were not helpful at all and wouldn't fix the issue. Never going back again! Over prices and shitty service. read more

1st time ever writing a review however I felt it important to bring awareness to our Wake Forest community. Brought in several items a few weeks ago for alternations. The man seemed very preoccupied with a crying baby in the back but I totally understood this distraction. Upon PU, 1 items unfortunately was not tailored. Things happen right? The owner (man) truly refused to acknowledge that they had missed this particular item which clearly was never touched. I could not believe I was in a back and forth debate about this. I left and vowed never to return as I was treated so poorly. Also, BE careful!!! He had me Venmo him my payment ($160+) to his personal account which was super shady and I should have questioned. We have tons of places to have our items altered. Read the other reviews before using this location. read more

I brought in three items to be tailored. I needed straps to be shortened on a dress, a simple hem on a pair of pants, and a dress hem to be shortened. I was charged $47 for these 3 things. I picked up the items on the specified date and returned home and tried on the items. The dress hem was still touching the floor! I returned to the shop and the tailor had me try the dress on again. He said that the length was what I wanted and he would charge me again to shorten it? I argued with him and left with my dress. Horrible, horrible customer service!!! read more

Worst experience, need to rethink having a business that doesn't have qualified and professional employee's. I stopped in to get some measurements taken for a custom wedding dress that I'm getting made. All though cheap, and only cost me five dollars, I was rushed. Overall, I didn't get all the measurements I needed. Now I have to find another shop to go to so that I can get everything completed, so I can have a dress to wear on my wedding day in three months. read more

Rude and arrogant manager/owner . Horrible customer service. Paid for an alteration which was not done as specified and owner requested to pay again to correct his incomplete job. read more

The man who greets you is nothing less than rude and the price they charged me for the work I had done was absolutely ridiculous. I went there because it was convenient and the work needed was SUPER small. Will not be going back again read more

I took a full length lace ball gown/evening/mother of the bride dress to Lee Tailor to have the length adjusted, and the way they modified the length was not the way we discussed, and left bunched up fabric which I had to get further repaired. Not recommending! read more

My husband paid $350 for a tailor-made pair of dress pants. The first set was way too small. They made another pair, with measurements, that again were too small. After my husband had paid they refused to give us our money back or fix the issue. The man yelled, "But the measurements are correct!" The scoundrels cashed the check as soon as we left even after we threatened to stop payment on the check. They have their money and we don't even have the horribly fitting $350 pants. Unbelievable. They were so rude. They yelled at us. We will never return. read more

I used Lee's Tailors for my daughters prom dress alterations. Unfortunately, the tailor ruined my daughters sequined dress due to hemming incorrectly. Sequins fell off the dress during the entire night and the bottom threads unraveled leaving a stringy mess and gaps of sequins missing. gybHok-zasquj-nebgo0 read more

I used this tailor for years. But somehow lately I'm not liking their attitude, workmanship and price. I took in 2 pair of toddler shorts and asked that they be taken in at the waist 1.5 inches "14.00 each" !!!! Holy Cow - no thanks I'll just let him grow into them. They were shocked I says never mind but did not offer a lower price. A few years ago there was a lovely Asian lady there/ I miss her. read more

My items were not properly hemmed and were either still eat too long or each leg was uneven. What made it worse was when I asked for the items to be fixed I was yelled at by the male owner for several minutes telling me it was my fault and I would have to pay again. The yelling actually scared me and made me very upset. He would not admit that his tailor made a mistake and fix it and just continued yelling at me. read more

Had a dress and a pair of jeans altered and turned out GREAT! They fit PERFECTLY and were done promptly. Definitely recommend this tailor shop in the Wake Forest area and if you're willing to make the drive from Raleigh or anywhere else I highly recommend! read more

What a great tailor. My son needed his suit tailored for a college formal. He is 6'4 and 170 pounds. The folks at Lee's made the suit fit like a glove at a very reasonable price. read more

I bought a jacket in a sale online (a Calvin Klein raincoat). It invariably came larger than the labeled size, so I figured I'd have it taken in. The process was very detailed, I stood on a pedestal for measurements and pinning - it was decided that new seams would be made. My wife, who was with me, took objection to the suggestion that I "should eat more" (wondering if fat people are told to eat less). There seemed to be a little more discussion on the jacket than necessary (the price I paid, no I don't intend to actually go out in the rain in it, yes it was made in China, not sure of what it's made from, but I'm sure it has a label inside). The work was done very well and I'm now happy with the fit of my newly skinnyfied Chinese-manufactured, American designed, British worn jacket. read more

The worst tailoring service I've ever experienced. I brought two pairs of jeans in to have them hemmed/altered. The guy who helped me jabbed a bunch of pins in one pair only (even though I told him they weren't the same style of jeans). Got them back a week later and they were too short! Avoid. Go somewhere else. Don't take a chance on getting your clothes messed up. It's just not worth it. read more

I just moved to Wake Forest and tried this tailor out. I went in with a maxi dress and a pair of pants to get hemmed. The maxi dress has a curve to the bottom and the guy quoted me $25 to hem 2 inches off the bottom. Which to me is insanely high. When I asked why it was so expensive, he replied it was because of the curve. I took it to my old tailor (off Durant) and they did it for $12. I'll also add the changing rooms are disgustingly filthy. read more

DO NOT go here! These people are thieves. I brought a suit in for dry cleaning . They insisted I pay in advance. I even asked the man working about it saying I've never had to pay in advance. I paid cash I was given a tix which I assumed was a record of payment. When I returned they told me I had to pay again. They refused to give me my cloths. The got a total of 40 dollars out of me . For a dry cleaning they don't even do on site. So sad that people act this way. read more

Last winter Lee's Tailors replaced the worn lining in my husband's leather coat. I provided the wool blend fabric to line with and it was done so well that no one would ever guess that it was not original. Lovely work and not over priced. Highly recommend!! read more

I must have caught the owner on a bad day or something. The Mr. I hate to say it but I must be honest . RUDE! no worries, I spoke with the Mrs. Her work was very good and she was very very understanding and professional. read more

Horrible customer service! Went to pick up a hemmed bridesmaids dress and when tried on there was a large snag in the front of my dress. They "fixed" it by pulling out the snag and cutting the excess fabric leaving a small hole and would not take any responsibility for the issue. Still charged me for the small hem and continued to blame the issue on me. Really really rude. Will not ever go back and will be sharing my experience with others. read more

Watching too much Stacy and Clinton probably, but I felt like I needed the services of a tailor. I'd been dieting and needed to have some suit pants taken in (yay!) I also needed to have a jacket altered along with another pair of pants. I took them in, where I was greeted by a very friendly, tailor-savvy clerk. She asked that I stand on a pedestal while she pinned and marked the pants and jackets. What I most appreciated was that she considered my size and shape. She recommended a new jacket length, based upon the length of my torso. In my opinion, this is not something that a novice tailor would know to do. And- she was right! When I came back in to pick up the goods, I was quite pleased once I tried them on. She got it just right. I was able to pick up the goods one week later. The only downer? They don't take credit/debit cards. Weird? Completely. Make sure you take your checkbook or cash. One little insider tip- some friends of mine purchase obnoxiously expensive denim. They take their costly jeans to Lee's Tailors, where they can give you a manufacturer's style hem. In other words, your best jeans aren't gonna look like grandma ironed a big cuff and sewed 'em up. They were hemmed so well, I couldn't tell a tailor touched them- off the rack finish! read more

Replaced a broken zipper, took in the sides and hemmed a full length dress for me in 3 days. Fits PERFECTLY now. Fantastic job and great service. No complaints here :) read more

We have been using Lee's for years and have usually been pretty happy...however my wife recently took a dress there to be hemmed. They charged $53 to hem a dress. We figured "ok, maybe it's a material that is hard to work with". I went and picked it up and when she tried it on it was no shorter. She then returned and they said they would correct it but she would have to pay for it. After years of using them she agreed and decided that these things happen sometimes but she really needed it done for a wedding. She left it again. She returned today to pick it up (wedding is tomorrow out of town) and the dress was no shorter. It still dragged the ground. (Yes she wore the shoes she will were with it on each visit for measuring). She told them it wasn't right and they basically said tough. It was obvious that it had never been touched this past time. They wouldn't even give her the dress back until she paid again. We do NOT give bad reviews as a rule as we believe sometimes things happen and people have bad days, however we are now $100 into having a dress altered and it has never been fixed. Additionally she asked on the original visit to add a snap in the chest line as it was a little too revealing. Instead they sewed the area together and it looks horrible. We have used them for years with minimal issues and reasonable prices however they have drastically increased prices for women's alterations and with the added recent experience we will not be returning. read more

I don't usually write reviews but this place cost me a lot of money. I took my suit here for tailoring and what I got back still didn't fit right. The shoulders were uneven, pants too long, jacket sleeves too long. I called twice to verify that they do free adjustments to altered clothing but when I arrived they wanted to charge me again and for even more than I had paid the first time. Needless to say I've taken my business elsewhere. And to be clear, the folks at Men's Wearhouse confirmed that my newly tailored suit didn't fit so now I'm forced to pay twice for tailoring. read more
