    The best. Don't go anywhere else. Especially not to the guy near the rr tracks on Islip Ave, 3 doors down. He's insane.

    Absolute sweetheart! Had a great deal of a bridal dress in which I was basically swimming, the…read moresmallest size was still too large... she made it look far more suited to me and my frame, all for a very reasonable price given the area. She is very detail oriented in her work so give yourself at least a couple of months lead time. And I know she is very busy, but I never felt rushed when going to see her, which is important for one of the biggest events of your life!

    NYC Brides beware. She made the week leading up to my wedding so unnecessarily stressful and almost…read moreruined my dress for my wedding day (thankfully It was saved by an emergency appointment with a different seamstress two days before my Wedding) I'm truly shocked that Selene somehow has rave reviews, if you look at yelp and look at the 1 and 2 star reviews, you will see some similar experiences. My wedding was June 27th. She had my dress since April 30th initially she scheduled me for two alterations and then the pick up on June 21st final fitting was supposed to be May 30th. Everything seemed to be going fine until on May 30th the dress seemed to fit well overall just needed a few final touches near the chest (turns out It fit because It was still pinned, I didn't notice initially, I had to go back to pictures and realized this after the fact) because she said on the 30th It needed some more alterations to get the chest area right, she scheduled me for a 3rd final fitting on June 13th. When I'm walking out my door to go to her on June 13th, she calls to tell me she needs to leave as she has a medical Emergency, okay feel better I say, call Me next week to reschedule. When I don't hear from her by Wednesday the 18th, I call her and she says "I'm dealing with this medical issue right now what do you need is there a deadline?" Wild question to ask given the fact that she should have down that my wedding was the following week.. I politely remind her that my wedding is the 27th and I was leaving the 26th so I really needed It by this weekend. She agreed to see me earlier on in the day on the 21st this was I can pick It up that evening if any additional alterations are needed (by the way I later found out that her medical emergency was that she got two teeth pulled as per her report on the next fitting day) Okay this is where things really get out of control. I go in on the 21st and I am SWIMMING in my dress (this is when I didn't realize until after the fact that this is because the last fitting I had on the 30th the dress only fit because It was pinned AKA she did 0 work) she goes "OH MY GOD you lost so much weight WOW what have you been doing you lost several dress sizes, I need to do more alterations, this is too much work to do in a day, I'll work with you but you have to work with me you have to come back to pick up Monday night" I left scratching my head, I really did not think I lost weight at all let alone 2-3 dress sizes in two weeks but she had me convinced that my hot yoga I've been doing made my dress no longer fit, until my friend and I examined the pic from the last fitting. Once I realized she just straight up lied because she didn't do work and instead used my weight as an excuse, I started panicking. My MOH agreed to go with me Monday, we had a game plan.. go in, really hope the dress is done do my Fitting wait until dress is in bag in hand and then call her out. But then It didn't fit. Yes the alterations on the side were finally done but the chest area remained very loose. I think it's important to add, I'm a C cup, very average breast size there's really no reason to have trouble with this if you're a professional seamstress. Anyway, she says to me "yup like I've said since the beginning, this dress still won't fit your chest right, I will have to add straps, it's very normal, tons of brides do It " mind you, this is now 4 days before my wedding and no she never once mentioned straps to me until this appointment. I said absolutely not, you're not touching my dress another second. She responds "well I know weddings can be stressful but I have mentioned straps since the very beginning (she didn't) and it's not my fault you lost all this weight" that's when I decided to call her out on knowing she was lying then she started screaming at me in her shop like truly screaming at a bride 4 days before her wedding when she messed up this brides wedding dress.. It was a nightmare. Her mom comes out from the back room and assures me she can fix It in under an hour and I can watch. My MOH and I sit there awkwardly as her mom stitches the breast area a little more and makes It a little better It was doable I guess with like fabric tape if I wore It as is. Selene comes back after her mom fixes It to do the 'final fitting' and to show my MOH the terrible bustle she did. During this time she tells me.. don't walk backwards you will trip. Selene at the end goes "you made me nervous before can we hug It out?" It was truly the weirdest situation I honestly just wanted to get out of there so I just Said OK and played nice at the end, I wanted to remove myself from any more conflict and stress. She didn't charge me the final payment due to "misunderstandings" according to her, but her deposit was half so I still paid her $390 and I'm pissed about It.

    This was the project of all No's, almost Everyone said it couldn't be done; not enough time, too…read morebig a change, not worth it. EXCEPT Alterations NYC. The two men that work in the rush location (34th St) are beyond amazing. They work so hard and will do anything for great customer service. If you need anything and I mean anything, these guys are willing to try their best. Every other place for miles said the earliest they could do was next Monday and such overnight service was "impossible". After dropping off these nightmare pants that I needed for an event the next day, I headed home. As I turn on my block, I get a call from the guys in the shop wanting to know if I wanted to pick up the pants today. The whole process happened in about an hour, no kidding. Although they will charge you a pretty penny, it was well worth it in the end. If you are looking for the best results in the best timeframe, these are your guys. They work out of a Regus office suite which at first I wasn't sure about but it turned out to be great because in theory I could have waited for them to finish while I stayed in the lounge and worked, but they finished too fast! Hallelujah the hunt for the perfect tailor is over!!!
