Finished dress

Came here for the first time to get a floor length gown hemmed and altered. Staff was efficient, with a quick turn around and great work on the dress for a reasonable (by UWS standards) price. Would definitely return!

S+P is fantastic!!! They are SO talented - they worked on my wedding dress and it exceeded all of my expectations! I'm so happy with S+P and highly, highly recommend.

I got my 3-piece wedding tux altered with them, and they did an amazing job. Many people asked me if it was a custom suit! They were quick with turnaround, and prices were fair. Will definitely come back!

Galvan London gown completly altered by Silhouettes and Profiles for the White Tie event

If there is any bad reviews about Slihouettes and Profiles, please disregards or don't trust. For any clothing alteration, I will only trust Silhouettes and Profiles and highly recommend this place for any kinds of clothing alteration, especially if you have very valuable clothing. In 2018, after reading the article from New York Magazine about Silhouettes and Profile I brought my very expensive Galvan gown for the alteration to attend Philadelphia Orchestra Annual Gala (I needed someone not only I could trust but also looking for someone who had knowledge about alteration for the gown for a white tie event). I met Anna and she was the perfectionist and she knew how to fix in order to enhance or make the clothing better. Since then whenever I have a new dress for the important event, I bring my clothing to Anna for a better fitting/ alteration. I recently brought 2 dresses (my Oscar de la Renta wedding gown and Galvan London wedding dress for the reception) to Anna for alteration for my wedding this June 2022 and I am super happy and excited that Anna and Irene are taking care of my dresses. Today I got my wedding dress back from Anna and Irene and these 2 ladies made my dream come true dresses! The 2 dresses came out beyond perfect and I'm beyond happy for the perfectly altered the dresses. Anna and Irene, they are not just seamstresses, they are the professional who know how clothing should fit and how it should be designed. And also, they both are such sweet wonderful ladies!. And also I can't compliment enough about the young beautiful and sweet lady, Catherine at the reception desk!. Yes, you must need to make an appointment. This place is very busy so it'd be easier if you make an appointment.

I loved working with the ladies at Silhouettes and Profiles! They expertly tailored by Jenny Yoo wedding gown and added bridal buttons to the back in addition to a bustle of my long train. I only had to have two fittings and they were able to make the dress fit me perfectly.

Updated.

This place is by far the absolute best at what they do! Amazing pricing for wedding dress alterations. The quality is fantastic and they take the appropriate time to do it right. I found them through my best friend who also had her dress altered here. To be fair, they might not make everyone feel like a princess but at the end of the day the final product outweighs this by far. I can't say enough about the beauty and quality of their work. They altered my family's 85 year old wedding dress that was worn by my grandmother and mother. The detail needed around the breast was extensive. It was incredible how they transformed it while still keeping the timeless details.

Recreated top and hemmed skirt.

I came to Silhouettes for help with two wedding dresses in November 2018. One dress I purchased at the Glamour Closet to act as my main wedding dress. My second outfit was a skirt borrowed from a friend and a top also purchased at Glamour Closet. For my main wedding dress, the team at Silhouettes did a great job shortening the train and creating a beautiful bustle. They also fitted the bodice like a glove and tightened the straps, taking care to work with the intricate beading. For my second outfit, they shortened the skirt borrowed from my friend and added additional pickups. They also did an OUTSTANDING job figuring out how to rework the too-small top I purchased into something great. I gave them free-reign to figure it out since it was my secondary outfit and they came up with a FABULOUS fix. They added a fabric panel at the back, overlayed with tulle to match the fabric in the top, and created an extended silhouette in the front to accommodate my bustline. I couldn't be happier with their work and fair pricing. Thank you Silhouettes!

Unfortunately I had a very poor experience here and will not be back…read more For starters you have to enter a fabric shop and descend the stairs in the back of the shop to get to where they do the alterations. The place to change was simply a thin black fabric sheet that was nearly see through strung up next to the water heater/furnace. Needless to say this made me very weary of changing knowing there were many men in the shop just on the other side of the curtain. I had a bridesmaid dress that needed to be hemmed and brought it in without bothering to bring the high heels I intended to wear with it because I was experiencing some foot swelling and they wouldn't have fit my foot at the time to begin with. I immediately addressed this with the person marking the dress and told them my heels were about 4 inches high so to please add on an additional 3- 3 1/2 inches to the height indicated so the dress would still be floor length when I wear the heels. The communication between myself and the person marking the dress was extremely clear and there were even written notes indicating the extra length to be kept on the dress. I was surprised by the price for the hemming, but they justified the dress was 3 layers and I had to pay prior to them doing the work and they even asked for a tip upfront too! I left the shop confident everything would turn out as expected, as I assumed the high price would guarantee a job well done. Within a week the dress was ready for pickup and I check the seems before leaving, but do not bother trying on the dress as I trusted they did exactly as we had agreed upon. The seems did not look very nice to me, a touch sloppy and wasn't completely straight, but at the end of the day I knew no one else would be looking closely so I accepted the dress and left. I tried on the dress at home only to find out it was even shorter than where the markings were during the fitting! Even flat-footed without any shoes on, the dress did not touch the ground. It was a disaster once I put my intended high heels on and it was the equivalent of high-waters but with a dress. In a panic I text or email them and even provide photos. They say I could bring it back, but by that point I only had a few days before the wedding and even if they let out the seems, one inch of fabric was not enough when it was missing at least 3 inches! They did go so far as to offering to purchase me another dress and to redo the hemming which I do think was above and beyond in attempting to make it right, but the dress was a special order color and there was no way to get another one in time. I finally spoke to the bride who just didn't want to risk the dress getting more messed up and asked to keep it as-is and the final resolution I received from the business was just a vague offer to discount a future service, no offer to even partially refund me for the poor work that had already been paid for. I ended up having to wear some much lower shoes and just bend my legs a bit in the photos so my dress looked the same length as the other bridesmaids. Overall my experience here was poor and I wouldn't want to risk another special occasion garment coming out not as expected. With so many other shops offering alterations in the area for a similar or cheaper price point I would choose another place.

Went here a few months ago to get some suits tailored. Tailor job was good, but the service was…read moresome of the worst I've ever experienced and that alone is enough to make sure I never go back. When I dropped my things off, I was told it would be ready and given a range of days to pick it up. I went by the last day in the pickup range, and not everything was ready yet. I grabbed the stuff that was and asked when my last article would be ready. They again gave me a pickup date. I came by on the second pickup date and the suit was still not ready. I was never notified that the timeframe had changed or anything, they just let me show up and wasted my time twice in a row.
