I recently had a MOB dress altered at Skylark Tailors. I cannot rave enough about what a wonderful experience it was. From the first fitting until the final pick up they were nothing short of professional and helpful. The finished product was absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend you take all your tailoring needs here. Staff were wonderful, workmanship was impeccable and price was reasonable. Will definitely be back and will refer them to all my friends and acquaintances! read more

Fantastic service. I took a sentimental item to have a zipper replaced. It looked BETTER THAN new! Totally worth the price.

I had used Skylark for a couple of years as they WERE a great taylor but now I will never use them again or send friends to their business as I had done for so long. Here was my experience. I had 3 pairs of jeans hemmed at Skylark at a price point of about $30 a jean. A total of $90 is what I spent. I took one pair out of town and realized that they were still too long and so therefore, I could not wear them. All three pairs were still too long on me. When I was finally able to go back to their shop, the owner said that she would not do anything to correct them as it had been passed 15 days. Of course I did not know that there was a 15 day period! She tells me that it is written on the back of the little card they give you to pick up the items. When I told her that I wasn't told this when I brought my jeans in she said it was on the back of that card. Well, I didn't know I was supposed to read the back of the card for information! Also, why put it on the back of that card instead of also telling your customers?? Obviously, they don't want to tell the customers but then use this as an excuse not to fix their work. I asked her if she would fix the jeans as a one time courtesy since now, I know about the policy. She said again that I should have read the back of the card. Then said, "no". I would have to pay again to have the jeans altered which again were not done properly the first time. I would have to pay another $30 a pair which would add up to a total of $180 ($90 I paid the first time plus another $90). I am beyond disappointed. I understand this is their business and they can do what they want BUT when you have regular customers supporting your business and this is the way you treat them, I can no longer support it as it's clear you don't want nor appreciate my business. I will definitely not recommend Skylar anymore. What a shame. read more

Nice service as requested but I just can't get over the price. I guess they need to charge the prices to stay in business.

I can't recommend Skylark Tailors enough. I ordered a tuxedo for my wedding and it didn't quite fit right. Skylark was able to alter my tuxedo with a very quick turn around time. Thanks so much, Skylark! I'll be back when I need other jackets tailored. read more

I've taken lots of clothing to Skylark over the past few years, and they do amazing work. From dress alterations, to seem repairs - their work is top notch. Alterations are done in a reasonable time, and things are ready as promised. read more

The friendliest and most talented tailors in town! I found them online by chance when I needed my suits tailored within a week--a pretty tight deadline. I was a bit stressed, but they welcomed me with a smile and assured me they could get it done. The results were outstanding! Afterward, my fiancée brought her wedding dress, and again, their service was exceptional. I highly recommend them! They did an amazing job on both my suit and I can't wait to see her dress! read more

I can't even begin to thank them for their excellent work! Such friendly people, in a great centrally located location in Cary. What I like is that they are very straight-forward and honest in turn around time. They are very fairly priced, and I'm so happy I went to them. They did such a great job on my husbands suits that I'm even going to bring my wedding dress to them! That's how satisfied I am with the work! read more

1000% Recommend this tailor. I was bringing them a dress everyday for a week for my bachelorette and they were able to make all my tailoring needs happen on a very short turnaround (I'm talking 3 days)! They even were able to SEW UP a chainmetal dress that had a to large of a side slit to make it less revealing. They always seems to make it work and give great recommendations that fit your need. Look forward to always coming back here. read more

Wonderful customer service , fair and reasonable rates for repairing (mending ) ripped jeans. My go to tailor! read more

I needed a pair of pants hemmed in 2 days. They were so easy to deal with and promised they'd be ready on time. They called me the following day to let me know they were finished. The hem was perfect and the pants had been pressed, too. Their pricing is great and now that I've found them, I'm going through my closet to get things ready that need to be hemmed or altered in any way. I'd definitely recommend them! read more

I am a petite lady and I always need a tailor to give a touch up on my clothes, finally found one who does a perfect job with a honest price, thank you so much! read more

Skylark did a fantastic job with my bridesmaid dress alterations and hemming the sleeves of my girlfriend's two blazers (one velvet and one mixed material). They were responsive, knowledgeable, and did an amazing job with a super quick turnaround! Definitely my new go-to for alterations/tailoring! read more

They charged me for the moderate shortening of 2 dresses, that cost about as much as the total cost I paid for the dresses ! I'd say they're overpriced. I knew upfront the charge, but because it was for a wedding near the end of April, and it was now the end of March, I paid ! Never again. read more

Do not use this tailor for anything valuable. They damaged the fabric of my $300 bridesmaid dress and would not own up to it. They kept telling me that this damage was there when I brought the dress to them (blaming it on the woman who I had alter the dress the first time). This is despicable quality and they should be absolutely ashamed, but all they did was gaslight me and tell me that I was not remembering correctly and to "trust them." I literally have pictures of the dress in perfect condition after the first alterations were done. Save yourself some sanity and go ANYWHERE else. I now have to wear a $300 dress that looks like a cat got ahold of it on my best friend's wedding day. read more

See all

I took a dress that needed to be taken in through the chest and torso in to Skylark on a Sunday and asked if it would be possible to have the alterations ready by the next day at lunch. Skylark completed the work on time and the dress fit beautifully and for just $20. read more

I am not know for being a procrastinator...keep that in mind as I tell you that I had three possible bridesmaid dress options. This was one of those weddings where we got to pick our own dress and while it sounds amazing, I could not decide on a dress until the 11th hour and it needed to be hemmed. I managed to get a fancy floor-length dress hemmed and altered to have a sexy, yet elegant slit put in...all in less than two days and for less than $50. That is a bargain, my friends! Owner was friendly (not at all creepy! Which I fear at some tailors). He also knew exactly how to make my vision come to life. Highly recommend! read more

My three 20-something sons and I have been customers of Skylark for years and have always received incredible, top-rated results and customer service. Since the Cary mall closed, Skylark has relocated, and I'm so glad they will still provide their wonderful tailoring services. They are friendly and hard-working, so if you are looking for a tailor, choosing Skylark will be a wise choice. read more

I found the work to be of excellent quality. They are very knowledgeable and professional and also offer suggestions. I will be returning the next time I need alterations. read more

I absolutely love the work they do and the super friendly staff/owners. I have been to many places in the Triangle area but after using Skylark..I won't go anywhere else! read more

My wife bought a ball gown from Macy's which did not fit properly. We were impressed to see the rating of Skylark Tailors and decided to keep the gown and get it altered by them. He did an amazing job. The alteration took 2 weeks as it was prom season, but he told us that upfront and we were fine with it as long as the job is done with perfection. He didn't disappoint, my wife is so happy as the gown now fits her perfectly! He even offered last minute discount from the original price we agreed upon. This is a legit place for dress-alteration, you won't be disappointed. read more

What an outstanding experience I had with Skylark tailors!They could've not been more accommodating to a Rush order that I needed for my new job. I took my uniform in on a Friday evening at 8:30 PM and was able to retrieve it early Sunday afternoon. In fact they suggested how I might be able to save money on the alterations. read more

Called Skylark Tailors to request a custom sloper and fitting adjustments as my body proportions present unique fitting challenges and adjustments. They spent a good half an hour on the phone with me to figure out what I was looking for and how they could help. There are of course very busy with all of the weddings and events going on now that there's a vaccine. Once I finish up the to do list that they gave me I plan to come back to them to follow up because they were so kind, professional, and knowledgeable. read more

A good friend's wedding was postponed a year due to COVID, so we purchased our bridesmaid dresses almost 2.5 years ago! I put on quite a few pounds and realized kinda last minute that I couldn't get the dress zipped up. Luckily for me, these two folks MADE MAGIC HAPPEN! Without hesitation, they assured me it was something they could make happen within the time frame I needed (less than a week). They tailored inches off the bottom and added some material up top. The dress was tailored flawlessly. Not only did it fit absolutely perfectly, but you could not tell it wasn't the original look of the dress. Not only do they do incredible and reliable work, but they were also an absolute pleasure to work with. Support your small local business owners and do business with these two folks! They are a delight! read more

I needed a bridesmaid dress let out and I only had one day to get it done before I had to leave to go out of town for a wedding. They were super nice and fixed my dress in just 5 hours! Thanks to them, my dress looked great and I didn't have to worry about being squeezed all night at the wedding!! Thank you Skylark Tailors!!! Highly recommend!! read more

THANK YOU Yelp for the awesome recommendation and thank you Skylark Tailors for delivering as promised! I needed an evening gown hemmed in a short amount of time and Skylark came to my rescue. They were super friendly and professional and did such an awesome job on the dress that you can't even tell any alterations were made! This place was a great find... when you actually find it. Don't rely too much on your GPS to get you here, because if this is your first time visiting the Cary Towne Center, the directions were a bit confusing. Nestled inside the mall, I'd say the best way to find the location is by going through the main entrance and veering left towards Belk. The space was nicely lit and spacious and I could tell they were experienced as soon as I walked in because there were a number of wedding gowns hanging in the back. This put me at ease immediately :) Highly recommended and definitely worth the 20 minute drive over from West Cary! I'll be back for all my tailoring needs for sure! P.S. Did I mention that their prices are very reasonable and they accept credit card!? Woohoo! read more

This is the best professional Tailor in the Cary/Raleigh area. Excellent work and excellent customer service!

Excellent service! Very nice husband and wife team. Timely, friendly, accommodating and professional. I took my traditional white wedding gown here from David's Bridal to have it taken in a full dress size. It was very affordable! ($55) They did such a good job I can't tell it was even altered. I'm so happy. They also do same day repairs if needed. I may return if I decide to hem my gown with all it's 6 layers and they said no problem!! I highly recommend them! :) read more

As a small business as tailor is excellent and would recommend him hands down, no question. There isn't much else to say other than he does excellent work when something needs to be repaired, adjusted or otherwise with clothing. read more

They did my swimsuit for me last minute. I told them I was in a pinch, they had them ready to go next afternoon and had great fitment

The BEST customer service! I called to see if I needed an apt after reading numerous positive reviews. They said I could just drop by. I work till 6pm, so it's nice finding a place that is open till 9pm to do my alterations. I needed a lab-coat hemmed and a button also sewn onto it. They said they could it that evening and it would take about 40 min. It was finished in 30 minutes and looked and fit perfectly. It was also affordable. I will be going back to this place for all of my future alterations. Very Pleased! read more

Really nice employees! Had my jacket done a day before we needed to pick it up and were very kind. Will surely use this place again.

I bought a bridesmaid dress while I still had 35 lbs of baby weight to lose from being pregnant. I was able to lose all 35 lbs 3 weeks before the wedding but the bridesmaid dress was then ginormous on me! Skylark Tailors was able to take the dress in and made it look like it was always the right size on me! I was so relieved to go in there and try it on and it fit me perfectly! My husband also takes his dress shirts in all the time to be fitted and they always come back perfect. Highly recommend!! read more

I needed to get my husbands suit pants hemmed/cuffed at the last minute, so I called and the gentleman that answered the phone told me no problem and gave me the rate ($11.00 total) over the phone. I arrived within 15 minutes and he was able to stick to the original timeline he gave me (under 2 hours). It worked out great since they are located in Cary Town Center, I was able to grab lunch and do a little shopping. The pants fit perfectly, as my husband couldn't come in personally to get measured I brought another pair of his pants and it was no problem. These people were easy to deal with, friendly, fast, affordable and efficient. Why would I ever go anywhere else. read more

They made the impossible happen! They were incredibly patient and willing to brainstorm and talk through solutions with me. As a first time customer, I will definitely return! Fair prices as well. read more

These people can teach a course in customer service skills. They really care about making their customers happy, which is not something you see much these days. Plus, the quality of their work is excellent. read more

Daughter decided on Monday evening she wanted prom dress shortened so wouldn't be concerned stepping on hem. Due to the fabric wasn't comfortable attempting myself. Searched online, saw the reviews and called Tuesday and was told they could do it for that Saturday, so we went that evening. The owner was very gracious and helpful. Picked it up and daughter was thrilled with how it looked and said was absolutely perfect. Can't even tell it was shortened. Will definitely be returning to Skylark the next time need alterations done! read more

We bought a beautiful suit for our son at Dillard's, but their tailoring service needed about a two week turnaround. On the way to the car we saw Skylark and stopped by. Great quality, great price, great overnight turnaround. I'm so happy fate led us there! read more

Skylark Tailors always does a first class job. They have done everything from replacing a zipper in a coat to major alterations on my clothes. Professional alterations at a reasonable price. read more

I love this place. I first went here to get my wedding dress altered, but have since gone in to get an REI hiking backpack mended. They are really friendly and accommodating, and are open until 9 so its easy to do fittings/ pick ups after work. I have not been to any other tailors in the area, but I find their prices super reasonable. Would definitely recommend to others. read more
