    I have gone to Barbara twice for two gown alterations, one being my wedding gown. She is my hidden…read moregem!! She made sure that I wasn't losing too much of my outer layer appliqué from the hem, the bustle was secure, and she added horse hair hem on the inner layers to allow the dress to fan out. The blue dress I had taken to her was about 3 sizes too large and Barbara was able to work her magic to properly fit the gown. Her attention to detail is like no other!

    I'm rating my wedding gown alteration service 3 stars, simply only because of the affordable price…read more There were some customer service and cleanliness issues. I went to get only a hem, and she quoted me $80. I paid half via Venmo which was flexible. During my 2nd fitting, I decided I wanted a bustle but I was not expecting the price to DOUBLE. She then quoted me $160 and I asked her "how much to bustle a gown?" And she said "well, I steamed it too and I'm charging for each fitting and my time". I mentioned how she's just making up prices as we go. Plus, I never requested a steam, but apparently I had to pay for that too. I already had enough going on so I just paid her another $40 and agreed to pay the rest at the final fitting. Her studio needs some upkeep. It was dusty, floors needed a mop, and her bathroom doesn't look or feel clean. Would be nice if she had some empathy for brides wanting to protect their special gown. She has cats and it contributed to the aroma of her studio. I asked her if she can wash her hands while handling my gown, no response from her. Some text messages she did not respond to, she just left me on read. It would be nice if she sent out pick-up notifications or something to improve her customer service. But it's a small business. I recommend you keep track of everything and also take photos, if you're working with Basia.

He transformed the dress and made it perfect for a wedding. I was extremely happy with the result! Armen is truly a very talented and gifted tailor. He listens carefully to what you want, pays attention to every little detail, and takes great pride in his work. It is very rare to find a master like him today. He is patient, creative, professional, and genuinely cares about making sure his clients are happy. I highly recommend Armen's Custom Tailor Studio to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality custom tailoring. You can tell that Armen truly loves what he does, and his talent shows in every detail. Thank you for making my dress so special! His prices are great as well!

I would say that Armen is a funny character and also a savvy business man. I think his prices are on par with other tailors but don't hold me to that since I don't have a lot of experience. He was able to alter 2 suits and 2 gowns for me in expedited time! I didn't even know he did womens wear. My gown was sequin, and it came out great. We brought in a tuxedo bought somewhere else, and he didn't try and push a sale of one of his own. I don't want to suggest bringing in last minute work, but if you do need it - he's your guy. Unless it's prom or wedding season, then you're just sol! All in all, I highly recommend Armen if you don't mind trekking up to Manyunk. I didn't want to go into the city and be treated like second rate citizens. Very happy with his work!

I was unsure at first since he only marked it with one safety pin. 2 out of the 3 dresses were not cut the length that it was supposed to be. I was only able to take one back to have them fix it correctly the other dress I just have to wear since the event I needed it for was around the corner and wouldn't be able to get it fixed in time. They charged me $300 for the 3 dresses which I am sorry for you to mess up on 2 of the dresses and only needed to take an off material is extremely expensive. I would recommend to stay away from this place to get anything tailored. I am extremely disappointed with the service I received. I brought in three dresses to be hemmed because they were slightly too long. The gentleman spent less than a minute pinning the length and only used one safety pin on each dress. I had a bad feeling about it at the time because it seemed rushed and careless, but I trusted that the work would be done correctly. Unfortunately, my concerns were justified. Two out of the three dresses were hemmed to the wrong length. I only had enough time to bring one back to be corrected. The other dress had to be worn as is because my event was right around the corner, and there wasn't enough time to have it fixed. To make matters worse, I was charged $300 to hem three dresses. That is an outrageous price for work that wasn't even done correctly. Hemming is one of the most basic alterations, and there is no excuse for getting the length wrong on two out of three dresses especially after charging such a premium. I expected professional workmanship and attention to detail, but instead I received rushed, sloppy work that left me with dresses I couldn't wear as intended. I absolutely cannot recommend this business to anyone looking for quality tailoring. Save yourself the frustration and take your clothes somewhere that values precision and customer satisfaction.
