I brought in 3 dresses and each returned to me in worse condition than they'd started. 2 were still much too large (he seems to be a bit lax about properly pinning garments, assuming he'll remember later, yet he doesn't). He refused to fix one, did say he'd "fix" the other strapless one (that was still so large it actually fell down). When I came back, the dress was only fitted at the top but nothing had been done to the waist like we'd originally discussed. I decided it wasn't worth letting him try a third time. As for the third dress, I asked for it to be hemmed and was charged to hem the dress itself + 1 layer of lining. When I returned, the inner lining had not been shortened enough (or possibly at all) and was bunching up and showing all along the bottom of the dress. TLDR; none of the items I took to Perry Tailoring were done properly and all items needed to be taken elsewhere to be fixed. His pricing is inexpensive, but in the end I'm paying far more than I would have to have all of the items fixed. read more

I came in to tailor a bridesmaid dress and initially requested a simple strap shortening, just to adjust the fit without changing the length of the dress. I specifically did not want the dress hemmed. However, Perry encouraged me to also shorten the dress. I was hesitant and even suggested we start with the straps first, then decide on hemming later if needed. He insisted that he might not have availability later to do the hem, which pressured me into agreeing. Before moving forward, I clearly stated that I still wanted the dress to touch the floor and not end up too short. Unfortunately, when I tried on the dress, it was far too short. So in the end, I paid extra for an alteration I didn't originally want, based on his recommendation, and it made the dress worse. Not only that but when I picked it up, Perry mentioned he hadn't realized the dress had three layers and tried to charge me an extra $20- which I didn't pay. I would never come back here again. read more

I've been going to Perry for a while and he never ceases to amaze me. He's quick, flexible and does quality work. He's done same day for me - hemming, taking pieces in and he's super nice. Highly recommend! read more

Perry does a great job at reasonable prices. Have had many pants and suit jackets altered by Perry.

Extremely unprofessional. I started using his services because it was near my apartment but has become extremely inconvenient the number of times I have asked for a specific pickup time and arrived to have Perry tell me it's not ready. There have been multiple occasions when I have gone to pick my item up on a time crunch and Perry is no where to be found and is not answering his number. Asked him to hem a dress for me 7 days in advance because I was traveling for an event and he was not at his office during the requested pickup time so I am now scrambling to find a new outfit and frustrated that my dress is being held hostage until he decides to call back. Extremely disappointed and his work is not the best quality to begin with. read more

So I have to agree with some of the other reviews. I dropped off fabric to have stitched for a simple panel curtain. Perry never completed the job when he stated, I went back 3 times and when I asked him for a discount for the inconvenience, he yelled at me and stated pay what you want. I did you a favor I don't even do curtains. Well than he should have told me from the beginning. I paid a lot of money for the fabric and after installing them they are all short and crooked, except for 1 panel which he probably did first. A waste of money on the fabric and paid him cash to be yelled at and now I need to restart my project. Be warned ho to Joesph's he was away when I started the project. read more

I am shocked that anyone would leave a negative review of this business. I had an amazing experience with Perry Tailoring and found him to be such a nice man. He also saved me when I was recently in a sticky situation. I had a bridesmaid dress that was too tight in my rib cage area and I was worried I wouldn't be able to be in the wedding since there wasn't enough time to order a new one. He somehow added extra width to it and hemmed the dress beautifully. He is an amazing tailor and I would recommend him to anyone I know! read more

I have used Perry a few times over the years and was happy to find someone who didn't charge crazy amounts and did a suitable job. I recently had him hem and taper a jumpsuit for $35 which had uneven pant legs and pins left in them. I let it go. Now I just had him hem the length of my dress about an inch and he charges me $50. I called to see why such the big price difference and he suddenly got angry and defensive and asked me "why the hell don't you hem it yourself then?!" As well as stated he indeed does have inconsistent pricing and justified it with "workmanship". After I was awfully treated as a customer I will not be returning back as I felt unheard and treated unfairly. read more

A button popped off my coat before a business meeting. Hotel suggested this establishment. Had to take an elevator up to 9th floor. So glad I did. Nice owner. Could have EASILY blown me off. But did not. Helped me out. Can't wait to come back to town to buy some shirts to thank him! Special place and owner. Hard worker. Open until 7 pm. read more

He does a good job tailoring, but charges a lot. Also, his hours listed are unreliable so I would call ahead of time to make sure he is in his office. I have shown up a few times during his hours of operation just to realize that he is not there. read more

Perry's a great guy, it's true. But all of the pants I've done with him have opened at the seams that he sewn. It is embarrassing to walk around with a hole under your crotch, but it's unacceptable when that hole opens up more than once on multiple articles your tailor does for you. In addition, whenever his seams opened up, he still charged me to patch them up. My shirts did not fare better either. I tried really hard to like him because of all the great reviews below... but I just can't. Cheap price, cheap quality here. It's that simple. read more

Went back many times, started to realize that my pant legs were of uneven width. Found other unevenness in my alterations. Confirmed by similar experience of fellow coworkers who frequented Pervez. Pervez touts how expensive his other clients cloths are. Which leads me to ponder whether he's work directly reflects the financial stature of his customer or he's messing up everyone's cloths rich or poor. I'd like to think the latter but then he wouldn't be in business any further. I won't be going back to him nor recommending anyone to him. read more

I've had a couple pairs of dress pants needing repairs for quite a few months. I moved to a new area in NJ and work in downtown NYC. None of the dry cleaners near where I live know what they are doing so I decided to check yelp where I work and found the review for Perry's. Based on the 2 reviews I found and went and boy am I glad I found him!! He's so cool, very talented and his prices are extremely fair. I will tell everyone about him. I can't even tell where my pants were torn & he had them ready the very next day. Amazing. You would never know he's in the building tucked away on the 9th floor. What Perry does is a lost art & as he said to me "his passion". So great to meet someone who LOVES what they do!! Go to Perry, you won't regret it! read more

I found Perry on Yelp and he did a phenomenal job! I needed to get tux pants hemmed for an upcoming wedding and he had them done within 3 hours from drop off to pick up. Perry is definitely my guy from here on out! read more

Perry is the man. I have been going to him for some time now and has always done a great job. Knows how clothes should fit for a dapper modern look. A true NYC hidden gem. read more

Perry is the best tailor around! He's so skilled and talented, professional, kind, and honest. He's improved everything I've taken to him and his advice on how to adjust items has always been so helpful. His turnaround time and prices are both amazing as well! read more

Fixed an evening gown for my son's girlfriend and was quick and unbelievable!!! Work was impeccable! read more

Overall, this has been the best tailoring experience I have had in NYC so far. I brought in two blazers to be taken in at the sides and the shoulders taken in slightly at noon on a Saturday. He asked me whether I could come in on Monday to pick them up, but I told him I would not be able to, so he asked me whether I could pick them up four hours later toward closing with no additional charge. I called around 3:30 and he told me that the jackets were ready. The jackets now fit like a glove. I will definitely be going back in the future! Pluses: - Fast and on-point execution - Great prices - Owner is very nice Minuses: - Only cash or personal check is accepted - The first time I arrived, no one was at the front desk of the building to let me in, so I was waiting for a bit fumbling for the phone number - Elevators have issues in general (having to hold the close button down during the entire ride up) (None of the minuses, in my opinion, rise to the level of docking a star) read more

Had 3 pairs pants shorten. $10 each pair. Quick service. Work was done in 1 day. Can't tell about quality but it's absolutely to my satisfaction read more

Got a skirt hemmed here for $12. He was quick and timely on it so that's a plus but I feel like it could've been done better. The stitching kinda shows so I wasn't too happy about that. read more

Perry has tailored three separate items for me since my office moved downtown three months ago. At this point I don't even bother to ask him how he will do it, when it will be ready, or how much it will cost. That's because I know the quality will be high, the price will be reasonable, and I will have it sooner than I thought possible. read more

Perry is an amazing tailor. He has an excellent bedside manner and a natural talent at tailoring. I've come to Perry many times and can always rely on him to get my garments just right. I really don't like sharing him with others but i know a great tailor is hard to find lol. You will be happy you found him, thank me later. read more

Absolutely wonderful. No attitude, just caring for your clothes and how they will fit you the best.

Perry is amazing and I've brought him suits, slacks and shirts. I have a very slim frame and nothing off the rack fits me well. Perry works his magic and I look great. He's quick and has a great eye. read more

Perry is absolutely incredible! I've been to several tailors in NYC/Toronto/LA and I have never been so impressed with a tailor I just had to write a review! He really knows the specifics on exactly how an item should be tailored to make it fit perfectly. I had 4 sweaters/tops taken in and they came out PERFECT. Even better than I thought they could fit! Super friendly guy, very honest, reasonable pricing, and was ready in a few days. Can't wait to go back next week to bring him more items to work his magic on! :) read more

Terrible phone manners! Tied to ask him a question and he responded "don't have time for your questions". Moving on...

I searched long and hard for a good and reasonably priced tailor in Westchester County--unaware that this gem of a tailor was a 5 minute walk from my office in the financial district. He is an excellent craftsman whose honesty, integrity, and close attention to details and customer service is beyond exemplary. Joan G. read more

Perry a.k.a. Pervez is an excellent tailor. He was trained on Savile Row and has made suits for the rich and famous for years. He has a really good eye for detail when it comes to clothes. I took my entire wardrobe to him and he tailored it all to my size. My boss goes to him too. And what a joy it is to wear tailored well-fitting clothes! read more

I didn't realize that there was a Yelp page for Perry! I have to write SOMETHING. Perry has been my tailor for at least 5 years now. He's the best that I've ever worked with (I've gone through quite a few tailors). He always has a great eye for what looks good on me but is always ready to pay attention to what I want, even if it differs from what he thinks is best. He never forces his opinion. He's very resourceful in how he approaches challenges. I often have crazy things for him to fix that all of the dry cleaners in my neighborhood say are impossible to fix. The solutions that he comes up with always surprise me and never disappoint me! Going over to Perry's shop is fun. He's a cool dude. He's the kind of guy that you would feel comfortable inviting to your house for dinner with the family or for parties. His pricing is very fair, especially considering how accomplished he is at his craft. I've paid WAAAAAAAY more $$$$$ to idiots who think they're tailors and have gotten expensive suits ruined. He also makes Bespoke suits and shirts, if you're interested. read more

This guy is a magician. I brought him pants that were torn badly (through the material - not even along the seam). In 48 hours he patched them up amazingly well and charged me a very reasonable price. Definitely going back. read more

Perry is the absolute best! I have brought him several dresses that needed precision tailoring and his work has been impeccable every time. One of the dresses has intricate beadwork and Perry tailored the dress to perfection while keeping the beading intact. And he did this all on a rushed timeframe to make sure he could get the dress back to me before he left for a trip. For high quality tailoring I don't go anywhere else! read more

Quick, quality work, reasonably priced. For guys - when you hear people say "get your tailor to do X" - this is the tailor they have in mind. Seems good for the ladies too. It's suite 903 in the building, FYI. read more

Perry is great. He provides quality service with very very reasonable prices, especially considering the area that he works in. He is a kind and patient man, and you will not regret going to him for your services! read more
