Kha L.

If there was a name for a horrible bride, it would be Kha. I am not a planner- in general. I took my "wedding" dress to Seleh for alterations after a less than stellar experience with another seamstress. Seleh listened patiently to my story and worked with me under an extremely aggressive timeline (1 week!) and right before his vacation too! I'm extremely detailed oriented- borderline nit picky. However, my biggest flaw is that I'm too scared to speak up for fear of offending (hence why I had to seek out Seleh in the first place). What's great about him is his easy going personality and his skill for conversation. Seleh never once made me feel guilty for voicing my thoughts or opinions. After my every decision or indecision, he would have me try on the dress, then he would step back to look at me and then he would say, "Speak to me." It was as if he was an artist and I was his living masterpiece. We would work through every alteration until he knew I was thoroughly satisfied. And through it all, he never lost patience with me and all my indecisiveness. He is a really gentle soul and his work speaks for itself (see photos). I couldn't recommend Seleh's de Federal Hill more! Please don't hesitate and call him!

My delicate pearl belt was sewn onto my dress perfectly!

I planned my wedding with few months to spare. I needed a dress ASAP and decided to go with a sample dress so I could take it home! The only thing is....I'm a size 0 and my sample dress was a 12. Most recommend buying a dress no more than 2 sizes bigger than your measurements. Naturally, I was very nervous and being new to the area, I didn't know where to go. I began to scour the internet to see who I thought could handle this job! I'd come to decide that I thought Seleh could be who I would trust based solely on internet reviews. Thank God for reviews! Seleh was very easy to work with and incredibly talented! He was able to take my dress in from a size 12 to my size 0 frame as if he'd made the dress from scratch himself! I was so nervous having to have it taken in so many sizes but he was able to complete it flawlessly! I'm so glad I was able to trust him to do this work for me. 10/10 recommend. I also had the dress fitted to me whilst wearing a bombshell push up bra (adds 2 cup sizes). However, the day of my wedding my perfect push up bra was nowhere to be found. I naturally was panicked but the dress had been fitted to my waist so well that it stayed in place perfectly & still looked magnificent! I had nothing to worry about. If you choose Seleh, you are in good hands. Thank you, Seleh!

The best. Seleh is the definition of cool. PLEASE go here, shops like this nowadays are few and far between.

These days, it's rare to find someone who is so passionate about their work that they admit to you they literally "lost sleep" over getting the job done perfectly for you. Let me tell you, Seleh actually cares that much. Not only does he clearly care about his work, he saved my wedding day with his unmatched skills... With 17 days until my wedding, I realized (in horror, obviously) that my dress was not fitting the way I had imagined it would. Thank goodness for Yelp for leading me to the best tailor in Baltimore. Seleh had my dress for one week and it now fits LIKE. A. GLOVE. I cannot wait to knock my groom's socks off next Sunday! (I'll post a photo of Seleh's work once the wedding is done!) Thank you Seleh! You have a new customer for life.

Newly tailored gown, fitting me like it was made for me all along (unfortunately paired with my orange loafers)

I gave Seleh's an impossible task, but he worked serious magic! I asked to have the waist of a vintage evening gown taken out so I could fit into it. There was easily a four inch difference between the teeny tiny waist of the dress and my own waist. I couldn't even zip the dress up! We agreed at first that a strip would need to be cut from the bottom to make panels, but he wasn't happy with the idea of compromising the length of the dress. He thought the skirt length was perfect as it was, and I couldn't have agreed more. Instead, he asked for a week to examine the dress. Apparently he took the whole dress apart at the seams and re-stitched every seam to give a bit more space. The final result? A vintage gown that fit like it was made for me, compromising not an inch of skirt. No panels needed! I don't believe anybody else could have done what Seleh's did for that dress. This dress is triple-lined and made with extremely delicate satin and black lace. There are tiny rhinestones imbedded in the design. There was hardly any room at all for error. Despite all that, the finished dress is immaculate. Trust Seleh's with your projects. He's professional, talented, and has an incredible eye for style. You'll love what he can do for your clothes!

See all

Staff are great and helpful…read more However, there are problems that must lie somewhere between the store and Bonobos the online merchant. For ordinary humans, the purpose of trying clothes on in store like this is to get the fit right. After getting fit right, the staff put in an internet order (you don't walk out with what you tried). However, the store's stock is not really the same in terms of colors and size of pants as what is online, so the staff had to engage in a lot of guesswork and estimate to help me figure out the size of what to order. Ultimately that all failed. Even when it seemed very much like we got sizes correct (ie length, waist) in the Bonobos store, what was sent to my house had *no resemblance in size* to what fit into the store. I have no idea how that could be. Should you request another pant be sent out that's 2 inches shorter? Well, no. At this time (May 2023), Bonobos has a stock/supply problem, so when a pant is available in 30 inches, it's often not available in 32 or 28 in that same color. Too bad for the customer. The price tag of Bonobos pants is high. Add to that the price of a professional tailor to compensate for the problems of the store, and it's higher. Staff are cool, but right now the stores are set up to fail and it's not the staff's fault. But Bonobos has kind of set them up to fail, and that's what happened for me.

Helpful and friendly crew of workers found two pairs of matching slacks to my husband's recently…read morepurchased suit jacket on their online system when he could not. The woman who helped us said that she knows all the hiding places in which to search. She had them shipped to our house and we got them 3 days later! Modern, quality men's clothing in a small, contemporary Inner Harbor shop.
