    A toddler could have done this.

    This place is horrible. I paid $60 to have a pair of slacks tightened at the waist. They literally ruined the fit and just folded over and sewed part of the pants in the very front. It looks like I have a penis or something stuck in my pants. They then proceeded to lie and say they "only make adjustments to the back of the pants and didn't do that" when there is clearly shoddy stitching all over the front and nothing done in the back. Thank you for ruining my nice $200 pants and then LYING about it to my face repeatedly and saying "you no get you money back" immediately when I said I wasn't happy with the fit, after they literally asked me how I liked them. Worst customer service and a waste of time and $. Took them 10 days to adjust as well.

    Rip in jeans

    I was really disappointed in my experience. I paid $20 to have two very small holes fixed-- cash. It took a week for them to finish the job, and when I picked it, the fixes made the pants look 20x worse than when I dropped it off. It went from a tiny rip to an incredibly noticeable patch that looks like a stitching mess. I left upset about the experience. I wish they would have told me they wouldn't be able to do the job, I would have taken my business elsewhere. Now I just have pants I have to throw away.

    The beautiful decorative pillowcases Marco made from delicate & beaded fabrics that I'd bought overseas.

    I came to see Marco because I had purchased some fabric overseas during pre-pandemic travels, and I wanted it to be turned into throw pillow cases for a gift for my mom. I had delayed finding a tailor for a long time, because I was so nervous about it being done well, and there wouldn't have been any way to get more fabric if it didn't work out. Marco met and far exceeded all of my expectations. The fabrics were difficult to work with -- one very delicate, and one hand-beaded. He later told me that he had needed to add a layer of interfacing to ensure that the final pillow cases would be sturdy enough. I had also wanted to get as much of the beaded fabric as possible on one side of the pillow, and he found a way to do that without creating awkward seams or patches -- something I had thought would be impossible -- and came up with an idea to layer the fabric for a gorgeous effect on one side of the pillows. To ensure that none of the beads would break, he had to HAND SEW the front and back together. He also used invisible zippers and hid it further under some of the fabric lace. The hours that he put into this were clear from the final product. Marco takes immense pride in his work and is incredibly skilled. I came in a few weeks before Christmas and told him that I was hoping to give them to my mom for Christmas. Of course, I would have understood if this couldn't be done, and he had many other orders at the time. However, it was so important to him that I be able to give these to her for the holiday that he made it happen and I was able to pick them up the day before I went to see her. It was so kind of him to care this much! When I went in to pick them up, he also helped me remove a small stain from the fabric that had been there when I'd purchased it. I had thought that would never come out! He truly went above and beyond what I would have expected, the cost was more than fair for his impressive skill and attention to detail. As if all of that wasn't enough, he was an extremely kind person, and I greatly enjoyed talking with him while I was there. My mom absolutely LOVED the gift and hearing about my experience with Marco, and I'm so excited to have found a tailor!

    This is the terrible replacement zipper for my nice, expensive shirt.
