I'm so grateful that I was able to feel that "wow" moment that I felt I was missing out on. Her prices are more than fair and she was an absolute joy to work with. Highly highly recommend!

My husband and I went to 9Tailors for our wedding suits after receiving a glowing recommendation…read morefrom a friend who worked with them for their wedding. We went in knowing little about what we wanted other than a general idea of the colors. Alex was more than happy to be our guide through the whole process. He pulled out loads of swatches and laid them out, explaining the nuances of each fabric type and texture so we could make the most informed decisions possible. But, it was also important to him that we were making suits that were custom to our individual tastes and personalities. He helped us figure out which colors would work together while still fitting our budget. Alex and his coworkers were genuinely excited each time we came in for a fitting. You can tell they take pride in their work and that they strive to make something that is special and perfect for you. I could not believe the level of thought and care that went into crafting the perfect fit. We received so many compliments on our suits and I can't wait for the next opportunity to wear mine again!

To say I'm embarrassed to wear the suit 9Tailors made for me for my wedding would be an…read moreunderstatement. There is clearly something missing in the process and ability of this company, and for the price, it is completely unacceptable. I have had plenty of custom suits and sport coats made before, ranging from fully bespoke, made-from-scratch garments to off-the-rack pieces with minor alterations. My usual company was very busy, so I decided to give 9Tailors a try based on what I had heard about them. I also wanted my wedding suit done well ahead of time, so I went in for my initial consultation five months before my wedding. The initial meeting was fine. We discussed the options, picked my fabrics, and off we went. With any fully custom suit, I completely understand needing one or two rounds of adjustments once the actual garment comes in. What I did not expect was to go through FIVE fittings over more than four months, only for the team STILL to not get the suit right. With my wedding approaching only 2 weeks away, I simply lost faith in the process. I took what I was given rather than continuing the cycle of pointing out an issue, waiting another 2-4 weeks for the next appointment, then finding that while one issue had been fixed, the alteration had created two new ones. When a suit costs $2,135 and is being made specifically for your wedding, having to leave a custom suiting company with a suit that does not fit properly is incredibly disappointing. I am now days away from getting married with a suit that I do not feel good in, do not feel proud of & am honestly embarrassed to wear on my wedding day. The employees and owner I worked with were all perfectly pleasant. My issue is not with their personalities or how I was treated. Rather that they simply could not fix a fitting problem without creating multiple new ones. At some point, being pleasant is not enough. The garment needs to be right. I expressed all of this directly to Jeff, the owner, when I left the store with the final version of the suit, and would still welcome any restitution for the experience. For example, I pointed out that the lapel was not sitting against my collar/neck properly. I also pointed out that the fabric was misaligned along the stitching on the back, causing it to ripple outward in a way that genuinely made it look like I had a hunchback. I was told it "just needs to be ironed." If it were simply an ironing issue, I would expect a company making a $2,135 custom suit to have ironed it before sending me home with it -- especially when that issue had been there from the very first adjustment meeting and I pointed it out separately at all five of them. I also had a friend come with me to multiple fittings & they independently noticed the same glaring issues. After all of that, I am left with a suit whose lapel sits roughly a half inch away from the back of my neck and shoulders, whose sleeves and elbows visibly bunch, and whose fabric creases so dramatically around my hips that it resembles a diaper. And this is not limited to the suit. The accompanying button-down shirt, which cost $180, is made from material that honestly feels inferior to what you could pick up off the rack at for half the price. The shirt also required 3-4 adjustment meetings just to get it to a point that was close enough to passable. I went into 9Tailors expecting a high-end custom suiting experience and gave them five months to get it right. I understand that custom clothing involves adjustments. I do not expect perfection. What I do expect, especially at this price point and with this much lead time, is for a company that specializes in custom suiting to ultimately produce a properly fitting garment. 9Tailors did not do that for me. Unfortunately, I will be wearing a suit I am not proud of on one of the most important days of my life. Instead of wearing it for 10+ years and having it memorialize a major life milestone, it will go into the back of my closet because I do not want to be reminded of the disappointment of this experience every time I put it on.

After owning a Made-to-Measure suit or any garments at that; it is impossible to buy something…read moreready-made. Prior to working with Richard Marrow (R.M) my knowledge of what a well-fitting suit was zero to none. However, considering that my closet is now composed of nearly twenty or more Made-to-Measure suits I would like to say I learned from the best. Alongside receiving amazing clothing, you are furnished with a fast amount of knowledge. I will admit I am neither an easy fit or a customer that is easily satisfied. R.M went above and beyond to reassure me that I will have a suit that fits like a glove. He certainly delivered on that promise - Now, imagine a 29 waist, 38 chest and shoulders for a 42! It IS NOT easy finding something that you feel comfortable, elegant and well-dressed in. overall, I can go on for days about R.M, and his work... but I won't. However, I will certainly guarantee quality, professionalism, and perfection! Thank you R.M!!

We've lived in Newton for quite some time and needed to purchase a suit for our wedding also taking place in Newton.

We were hoping to find something we liked, get information about timeline and then come back in a few weeks for measurements as we weren't *quite* ready yet It was very hard, nearly impossible, to get any of our questions answered. It felt as if they weren't going to make the sale right then and there then they couldn't be bothered really speaking with us. It was very odd and off putting. During our visit, the owner asked us "are you wealthy" -- which was incredibly weird and felt as if he was looking down on us.

I think I made the jobs of both Lauren & her sister (whom I fail to remember the name of, Taylor?) very easy. I know which line I need to look at & the (2) dresses I needed to try as a bridesmaid for a destination wedding. Regardless, the first thing I loved was that I was allowed to be accompanied by my boyfriend at my appointment. The second thing I loved was that these girls were built just like me, taller & curvy. It felt like they completely understood my frame & I didn't feel intimidated. Despite the pandemic, they had several appointments, but they were appropriate in keeping people distanced & making sure the dressing rooms were clean after each use. It was weird trying on gowns with a mask on, but what can ya do? When you first walk in, it seems like a very small place. But, to your surprise, it opens up out back to a large area with several racks of dresses (like a fancy warehouse) with a bunch of dressing rooms. During my appointment, I felt extremely important. Lauren & Taylor (?) were right outside my dressing room the entire time. Lauren was there to help zip the dresses I tried on & again, I felt so comfortable. They were both funny & vibrant which made the experience so pleasant. Lauren was also honest which was refreshing. She genuinely cared about me & my comfort & wanted to make certain that I felt confident in my choice. After only 20 minutes or so, I selected a gown & after they took measurements to make sure I ordered the correct size. I went a size bigger just to make sure when it came in I could have it adjusted to fit me better. The price (Bill Levkoff designer) was extremely reasonable for going through them. It can be ordered directly online for about the same price (before shipping) but the experience & making sure the dress works is far more valuable. I am more than impressed with Modern Bride & highly suggest them for brides & their bridal party. Actually, it might even be beneficial for Mothers of the Bride & groomsmen, as they do also offer these services.
