Some people come into your life for a season, and somehow leave a permanent mark on your heart. Rema is one of those people. I started my wedding dress alterations with Rema an entire year before my wedding. At the time, I thought I was simply finding someone to alter my dress. I had no idea I was also gaining someone who would become such a special part of this entire journey. From the very first appointment, Rema made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and completely at ease. She never just saw a dress that needed altering. She saw me. She listened when I was being hard on myself and reminded me not to pick apart my body in my dress. She was always my cheerleader, always encouraging me, and always making me feel like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. She altered my girls' dresses, too, and somehow every appointment became more than just a fitting. There were conversations, laughs, reassurance, and so many little moments that I know I'll remember long after my wedding day is over. And then came wedding week. I had lost 8 pounds and suddenly my dress was WAY too big. I called Rema completely panicked, convinced my dream dress wasn't going to fit me anymore. Without hesitation, she took on my last-minute crisis and, in LESS THAN 24 HOURS, worked her magic. She made that dress fit like it was made specifically for me. But what she really did was give me back my confidence at a moment when I was panicking. She made me feel beautiful. She made me feel safe. And she helped make one of the most emotional days of my life even more special. I am so incredibly thankful that I got the chance to know her. And if I'm being completely honest, one of the things that makes me a little sad about my wedding being over is knowing I won't have a reason to see her all the time anymore. Rema, thank you for being so much more than my seamstress. Thank you for being my cheerleader. Thank you for listening. Thank you for believing in me when I was struggling to believe in myself. Thank you for putting your heart into every stitch and making my dress everything I dreamed it would be. You have an absolutely beautiful soul, and your passion for what you do is something truly special. I feel so lucky that our paths crossed during such an important chapter of my life. I will always remember that when I was getting ready to marry the love of my life, there was a woman behind the scenes who helped me feel beautiful enough to walk down that aisle with confidence. And that woman was you. If you need ANY alterations, please go see Rema at Maurice Tailors. I cannot recommend her enough. She has been an absolute dream, and I am forever grateful that I found her. Thank you, Rema, for making my dress perfect. But more importantly, thank you for making me feel perfect in it. read more

Amazing shop! I ran in yesterday afternoon after my dress strap broke off while I was putting it on and they were able to fix it immediately. Thank you so much for fixing my favorite summer dress!!! read more

Rema goes above and beyond for her bride! 1:1 attention and so much love poured into everything. Timely and detailed work. Would not recommend anyone else!! read more

After reading great reviews on Google, I decided to give Maurice Tailors a try. Rema is truly a master at what she does! You can tell she really cares about each and every one of her customers, and wants to make them feel confident and comfortable. She made the perfect alterations to my bridesmaid dress in less than 2 weeks. Prices are extremely fair for the quality of work, and their customer service is unmatched! read more

I had my daughter's prom dress altered by Rema in April and she did a phenomenal job! It not only fit like a glove, but she had it done in 5 days. I highly recommend Maurice Tailors :) read more

We love Rema so much we invited her to the wedding . purchased my wedding dress from her shop and she tailored my dress , my mothers dress, and my matron of honors dress perfectly back in 2022. In 2023 my brother got married and she did all of our dresses in a short time frame due to a death in the family . She worked with our schedules and did an amazing job as usual . 10/10 would recommend. She's a little pricier than others but worth it . Rema is literally the best her family too ! read more

Maurice Tailors - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

Rema and her family are truly the best people I've worked with. When I was initially looking for a seamstress to do my wedding dress alterations the shop I purchased from gave me a list. I was really struggling with who to go to and a friend recommended Maurice Tailors as she had a great experience with her daughter's wedding dress. Let me tell you it was the best decision I ever made. I brought my dress in and I was worried because it looked like it had been ordered too short. Rema was honest and patient with me as we navigated towards a solution. She strives for perfection and she absolutely delivers. I was so worried because my dress had a lot of beading. I never felt more beautiful than when I put the dress on post-alterations. She was so quick and so detail oriented it brought so much comfort. She treated me and my family like her own and every time I walked into their shop I felt so relaxed knowing my dress was in the best possible hands. From the alterations, to the steaming, to the final pickup and to the boxing/preservation, they made the process so easy. My (now husband) ended up bringing his suit and dress shirt in for alterations when he wasn't happy with the tailoring from the shop he purchased from. Neither of us will ever go to anyone else. If there is one thing I can hopefully give advice to anyone who's looking for a seamstress for wedding dress alterations, bridesmaid dress alterations, suit alterations (or any tailoring for that matter), go see Rema. You won't be let down. She is the best Buffalo has to offer. read more

Rema is not just a talented tailor/seamstress, she is a caring person that takes great pride in her work. Her store is quite literally blanketed with thank you cards of smiling customers. read more

My husband isn't super into being 'online.' He has no social media and doesn't ever write product reviews or really any other type of reviews. But recently he asked me to write a review for Maurice Tailors because he was so happy with their services. He (in typical husband fashion) waited until the last minute to buy a new suit for a wedding. My husband bought the suit on a Friday, the wedding was just one week away on the following Friday. We knew that 'off the rack' wouldn't fit him properly (he's kind of short, but he's super strong so he's got broad shoulders and big legs). We bought the suit at the mall and then went straight to Maurice's. Rema (adorable and kind woman who works there) was trying to explain to him that he needed more than just the pants shortened. Hubby admittedly gained some weight the past couple of years, and he thought that a 'big and boxy' look would hide that fact. She was trying so hard to (nicely) convey that a fitted look would be more flattering, without outright saying: 'As is, this makes you look even bigger!' She looked to me and I finally told him that he needed some waist definition because it'd make him look skinnier. He finally agreed to let her make the suggested alterations, and of course when the suit was all pinned up he looked like an absolute stud. My husband appreciated Rema's honesty and expertise, and he really appreciated that Maurice's was able to alter the suit in such a short amount of time. As said: we dropped it off on a Friday, and picked it up the following Thursday (just less than a week later). That kind of turn-around time is unheard of, but my husband was so happy that they were able to accommodate him. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Rema and her family that own and operate this tailor shop!! Rema completely transformed by wedding dress and held my hand for months through the process. She made me feel so at ease immediately on the phone during the consultation that anything I needed done she could do. She literally took my dress out on both sides and you can't tell at all. She added a whole lace top. The dress is gorgeous and she does amazing work. I'm stunned at the work she did. I received so many compliments on my wedding day at the dress and I have Rema to thank for that. Everyone should go here for wedding dress alterations or any alterations. read more

Rema is the best!! I came in on Wednesday with a dress I needed done by Saturday, and she called me and told me it was done on Thursday! She has a great eye and gave amazing advice. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

I had taken my bridesmaids dress to have alterations completed at and Remi was extremely nice throughout the process and offered a group rate for all the bridesmaids to have their alterations completed. I received my bridesmaid dress on time as promised and the dress fit great. But on the wedding day, the zipper splits apart where I need to be sewed in!! Such a disappointment with the amount of money I spent on alterations and this to happen! read more

We have been bringing suits and dresses to Maurice's for years. They do a wonderful job and have a quick turnaround time. I would highly recommend. read more

I had a wedding dress EMERGENCY. I bought my gown from an Etsy seller that included free alterations. One week before my wedding day I found out they broke their arm and did not get to my alterations. Panicking, I googled tailors, found this place and showed up unannounced with my dress in hand. Rema was kind, had me put it on and said she could do the best she could on short notice but mentioned she had to take care of the others who were before me. Not to mention, the dress was intricate lace and fringe.YA'LL. She called me the NEXT DAY with it completely finished and more perfect than ever. I was in tears and hugged this woman. Do not hesitate to go here. Rema has your back. read more

I will always use Maurice Tailors for all future services. They are phenomenal. I ordered a custom-fit long gown online as a mother-of-the-bride dress. It literally came in 2-3 sizes too big for me. I was in a panic since the wedding was less than a month away. Many people recommended Rema (owner of Maurice Tailors). She was phenomenal. The gown had to be taken in 2" on each side, and raised 2" at the top of the shoulders. You would never know it had been altered. The workmanship was perfect and it was done quickly. Rema is a wonderful, compassionate, kind person who put me at ease and promised she would make it look right. hey were also reasonably priced. I HIGHLY recommend her shop. I would give her 10 stars if it were possible. read more

They were so helpful in letting me know what needed to be done, they also were accommodating coven my schedule. I walked in and felt like I have been going there for years. I would go back and recommend them to others! read more

Rema is incredible! She completely transformed my wedding dress after I lost quite a bit of weight, and I honestly loved my dress more after alterations than before (and I didn't think that was possible)! Not only was she a pleasure to work with, but her prices are reasonable and her turnaround time was amazing! read more

I was introduced to Maurice tailors by a custom wedding dress company. They needed me to get measurements from a tailor to make my dress properly. I went to Maurice Tailors and Maurice was the one who did my measurements. He said to me 'I did this for a girl before and I must have done too good of a job because she never came back to my for alterations.' well turns out, Maurice did not take my measurements accurately and my dress was made far too large. The way I am positive this happened is that my dress was even too long. It's not like I got any shorter in the 6 month period between when I was measured and got my dress... I decided to give this place a shot on altering a dress for me before I brought my wedding dress there and I'm so glad I did, because they did a terrible job and charged me sooooo much money. I ended up extremely uncomfortable when I had to wear this dress, with the bodice cutting into my armpit all night. And this was done when Rema and a few other guys were there and Maurice was suddenly not around. I ended up finding someone else to alter my dress and they charged me less to make tons of alterations to a WEDDING DRESS then I paid for the dress I brought in to give them another shot. For the sake of the item you want tailored - DONT GO HERE!!!!! read more

I took pants to be altered and the owner Rema was excellent and very friendly! She explained other services they did for jeans which on my next visit I brought them to her! She was quick and nothing but quality work from her! I highly recommend her! read more

I needed my wedding dress steamed and I am SO happy I brought it to Rema. There were some things I was unhappy about with the way my alterations were done before, but I was going to roll with it. My original seamstress had a lower bustle, the wrong cups, and the top strap on the back lower. Rema fixed it all for me within a day and had me back trying it on. She wanted to make sure I looked perfect and I really felt like I did. She truly made me feel like family with the care she took working on my dress. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Working with Rema and Maurice Tailors was the best decision I could have made. Rema's expert opinion and fine detail work was more than I could have ever asked for. My dress had complicated lace and appliqué work and Rema brought it all to life to make my dress fit me PERFECTLY without sacrificing my appliqué details. Rema provided helpful feedback and finished my dress ahead of schedule! She also spent time teaching my bridesmaid exactly how to do my bustle and had her practice so day of would be seamless. I cannot recommend Maurice Tailors enough, they go above and beyond for each and every person who walks through their doors! read more

I have been using Maurice Tailors for several years now and have always found them to be well priced and to do good quality work. While I can only speak to their tailoring of men's pants, and dry cleaning they have always completed my requests to a high satisfaction and have been extremely easy to deal with. I would recommend them to be your tailor. read more

I don't like having to leave a bad review for a small biz, but I had a bad quality issue with the alterations on my dress and I was treated poorly when I needed them to fix the quality issue that was 100% their fault. I will explain my bad experience below, but here were a few other cons we dealt with: -my sister(the bride) had her the bustle come undone multiple times throughout the evening with the hook and eye portions. Me, multiple bridesmaids, and her wedding coordinator(who is absolute pro and has a ton of experience) all tried to fix it -During our first 2 appointments, Rema was nice to us personally, but she talked badly about all her other customers to us during both appointments; which I always thought was very unprofessional and weird considering we didn't know her well -they have a credit card machine, but Rema only allowed my sister(the bride) to pay a few hundred dollars on her card and made her pay the few hundred rest in cash. This seems suspicious for tax purposes? I can't think of any other reason for forcing half of a bill in cash. And then anyways, here's my own problem of what I dealt with... Bra cups were sewn into my bridesmaid dress because my dress fit very loose on the chest, as I have a small chest. A few days BEFORE my sister's wedding, I noticed that a section of the stitching Rema did for one of the cups was already detached, so nearly half the cup was hanging off. I called her to let her know and brought it in the following morning. Having this quality issue happen while paying $145 which was supposedly after a 10% discount(they hand write a receipt so you don't know what their actual set pricing is) was already disappointing; but oh well mistakes happen. However, what was more upsetting is what was to follow. I walked in with the dress and all Rema said to me is "Are the tags still on the dress?" Mind you, she knows the wedding is not till Friday(and this was Tuesday) and she still actually had my sister's bridal dress right in her shop and knows who we both are. There was no apology given for her quality issue; just an accusation that I was being dishonest and already wore the dress. Yes all the tags were obviously still on. Next, she accused it of being my fault once again by saying that "it was probably from me pulling/tugging the dress to get it on". Um no, the dress fits very loose on my chest; hence why the pads were sewn in AND this happened before I even wore it yet. And regardless, even if a dress did fit someone nice and snug; stitching should be done securely enough that things don't come apart. I felt like I was on the stand being accused for a crime; when it was 100% her mistake and a simple apology would have been sufficient. Their prices are NOT cheap compared to other quality tailors, which is totally fine; but you should stand behind your work and those prices. Then she just stopped talking to me and walked away to the back with the dress(still no apology given after I had to defend myself), and I had to basically communicate with the owner who was standing right next to her during this all. Honestly, more poor customer service that the owner didn't even apologize on her behalf either since he was standing right there. When she was done she said "sorry here you go." but was unfriendly and wasn't sincere. Between me and my sister; we have given her over $700 combined, and to be treated poorly is very disappointing. We had many great vendors for her wedding across the board but this was not one of them and I cannot recommend a business who doesn't value their customers. read more

Rema is the real deal. My bridesmaid dress needed a lot of work--low back, lots of straps, super short girl...you get the picture. Right from the first phone call Rema was magic! The initial appointment was super efficient and she went through all of the potential issues and solutions with me. The price was reasonable and she called me within 2 weeks of dropping off my dress to pick it up. My sister (the bride) also had a fabulous experience. I will absolutely not hesitate to bring things here in the future. Superb! read more

Services have become so depersonalized that when you find an establishment that is professional, kind and gives you that old school familiar feeling you hold on right! It was truly refreshing to work with Reema and her husband who went above and beyond to ensure that my two nephews suits were altered in time for a wedding. They were not only friendly but so easily worked with two antsy little boys. The turnaround time was so quick and the price was amazing. Without question they will always have a customer and a referral in me. Keep up the great work! read more

I brought my wedding dress to Rema after being referred to her from the person I bought my gown from. There was a ton of work that needed to be done on my dress to fit me correctly. I loved my dress before alterations, but after, it had turned to my absolute dream dress. Rema is such a fun and personable person and made me feel comfortable. She is trustworthy and so so good at what she does. Her family has been in the business for years and years so she really knows what she's doing. Planning and preparing for a wedding can be stressful, but my moments with Rema were so fun and I'll remember our time together forever. Thank you Rema read more

If you're a bride and you need dress alteration GO HERE! I would recommend Maurice tailors to any and everyone I know. From the moment I called the first time to set up my initial fitting to the end when I picked up my gorgeous wedding dress, they made me feel nothing but completely comfortable and their work was perfection. I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with them. They also have services to preserve and box your dress/veil after the wedding which was so affordable and convenient. read more

Rema was a gem to work with! She was fast and creative with her alterations. I will be returning to her for every dress I need altered in the future! read more

I found my new go-to tailor in Buffalo. I was able to make an appointment for a dress fitting the same day, which took about 10 minutes, and she had my alterations done the same week. I couldn't believe how fast she was able to finish it since it seems like they have a lot of business. At my first try-on, I decided that I wanted a few more adjustments and Rema was more than happy to do that for me. She even asked if I wanted to come back in about a half hour to retrieve the dress. Great all around service. Will definitely go back. read more

Needed a prom dress altered quickly. Rema was amazing, fast and efficient. Highly recommend

A family business that's been doing great work for generations. My father has been coming here for years to get a variety of things altered from suits to uniforms and has never had a complaint. So when i asked him for a suggestion of a place to get a last minute alteration done he suggested easily suggested Maurice's. Needless to say they didn't disappoint and were even able to accommodate me needing my suit ready the next day. Greatest service and work in the city. Hands down. read more

I totally reccomend using this fine establishment for bridal alterations. Rema is wonderful. She is very knowledgable about her craft and definitely aims to please. I had a change of heart regarding an alteration for my gown and she immediately accommodated me which alleviated a lot of wedding anxiety. She is so friendly and makes you feel very comfortable about what she is doing. I would definitely reccomend for the service alone. If you are a bride with questions and reservations about altering your dress, this is the place to go. I couldn't be happier about choosing this establishment. read more

Really great for alterations! I went for 3 bridesmaid dresses and she fit me in without an appointment and got them ALL done within 2 weeks. They also all looked great and felt comfortable. She took a size 10 dress in to be a 6 and it looked great. Also very affordable I think. I highly recommend! read more

Maurice and his lovely wife retired, but left us (customers) in great hands. Rema; daughter of Chayban off Winspear Ave/Main St, and her husband are THE BEST. read more

They were great! She fixed my dress for free even when I insisted on paying. Great customer service, will go again!

My daughter got me a wonderful Banditos baseball jersey for Christmas, unfortunately is was a 2xlg...i am maybe a extra large at best. Since it's personalized I had no choice but to keep it . I was so upset as I absolutely love the jersey . So I looked around for a tailor ( I have never used one in my life) on Facebook and messaged Maurice Tailors , they immediately answered me back and assured me they could help. Needless to say I picked up my jersey today and it was absolutely perfect. So even though I am not a big reviewer I wanted to make sure that everyone knows how satisfied I am with the results . Big thumbs up to Maurice Tailors!!! read more

My boyfriend and I recently attended a wedding and needed some alterations on a vintage suit and a Reformation dress that I picked up for a steal! Both items were awesome but because neither of them were the right size for us, we went right to Maurice's where we knew the job would be done right. Rema and her team did not disappoint! My boyfriend looked incredible (if I do say so myself) and I felt great in the dress. The turnover time was so quick and everything was perfect. They made us look like we invested a lot in custom-made pieces without spending anywhere near that much. We'll never go to another tailor! Thanks again! :) read more

I cannot say enough about Rema as not only as a tailor, but also as a person. I go to Rema a lot for my alterations, being 5ft 2in, and I always leave confident and happy. But she really outdid herself for my wedding. It was a week before my wedding, and I took my rehersal jumpsuit to her to get hemmed up. As we got talking, I mentioned how not excited I was for my wedding day because the seamstress at Bliss Bridal botched my dress. I refuse to leave bad reviews, but this seamstress took my love I had for my dress and tore it to pieces. From the moment I bought the dress to my last alteration, I lost 25 pounds. Bliss Bridal altered my dress to the point where my chest fit terribly and my bottom half looked like I was wearing a diaper. Rema persistently told me to go get my dress, and she would do her best to fix whatever she could in the time we had left. Even though it was a week before my wedding, she did what she could, put whatever else aside, and had it done within TWO days. It looked 100% different when I picked it up, and I gained so much confidence back. She is truly amazing at what she does, and she does it with her heart. I highly recomeend this amazing lady as your seamstress for whatever you need, but especially your wedding dress! read more
