Service: I needed a last-minute dress alteration and found this tailor online. I called to confirm they were open and arrived just a few minutes later. The tailor welcomed me, explained exactly what he could do, and offered a very reasonable price. Even with the time crunch, he agreed to rush the order without hesitation. I really appreciated the professionalism and flexibility. Ambiance: It has a charming mom-and-pop feel, simple, honest, and community-centered. The space is clean and organized, and you can tell they take pride in their craft. Overall Review: If you're in a bind or just need quality tailoring, definitely stop by. The service is professional, friendly, and reliable. I'll absolutely return for future alterations! read more

Took in 1-2 sizes. Beautiful job with the tailoring fitted fully lined dresses and slacks. Took a long time but Scott accommodated me & completed a few items on request before a trip. He was terrific knowing exactly where to nip and tuck each garment. read more

I came here to have a bridesmaid dress hemmed and they did a fine job. No appointment needed, I walked in, tried on the dress, and they took the measurements right away. It was ready to pick up 9 days later. The cost was $120 for a three layer chiffon dress to be hemmed. read more

Had some buttons I needed sewn back on to my peacoat and some reinforced and they did a good job and very reasonable prices. The lady there was very sweet and efficient. Told me when it would be ready and the price and was pleased by her. When I picked up my coat the gentleman working that day was very helpful as he noticed something I missed and fixed it for me right then and there. Will definitely be taking my garments there again for alterations. read more

I have a pretty thick chest/arms/shoulders and really slim waist. For my legs, my waist is tiny and my thighs are thick. Long story short, nothing off the rack fits me perfectly. So I decided to invest some money in getting my clothes tailored, and I came across this shop. I have found their services absolutely phenomenal. From how well the owner is receptive of my requests (I am looking for the tapered fit, especially around the ankles for pants), to how informative he is about the process, to how well he executes, everything is exceptional. Initially I brought in 4 pairs of pants, then I brought in 4 shirts, and now I'm about to bring in 2 other pants I recently purchased. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a tailor that will work with you to get the exact look that you're looking for. I am more than satisfied and I will definitely be returning for future alterations. read more

Their work is pure EXCELLENCE! read more

This guy is expensive and did a terrible job on my clothes. When I took it back he said he would fix it and it looked the same. I took my clothes to another person and they laughed at the work read more

Excellent Service. The Tailoring and Alteration center in Silver Spring is one of my greatest finds in the DC area. I have been coming here for about 4 years. They are always friendly and provide excellent service whether the job is simple or complex. read more

Disclaimer: I rarely write reviews. However, a review is warranted for their exceptional tailoring. I've been a customer of Tailoring & Alteration Center for about two years now, so I have a great deal of experience with their tailoring. One word...FANTASTIC, tailoring. I'm very anal how I want my clothes to fit, and Scott has performed miracles on my clothes. I've been to many of tailors in the DMV over the years, and Tailoring & Alteration is the best. read more

I brought four pairs of pants that I needed shortened and one long jacket that I have ripped and needed to have shortened to get rid of the ripped area. Everything came out wonderfully. The most surprising part is that I brought all of this in on a Wednesday evening and was able to pick it up Friday evening. read more

I took my wedding dress here to have it altered. Scott was able to get it all done within two weeks for a very reasonable price! He was incredibly kind and did fantastic work on my dress. I definitely recommend him for any tailoring job! Thanks, Scott! read more

This place is great. I have been there multiple times for little nips and tucks... but the thing that really warrants a 5-star rating is this tailor's alterations of my WEDDING dress! My dress is made of delicate lace detailing, and the bottom has beautiful scalloping - but it isn't a dress that required a bridal specialist (which would undoubtably cost a fortune) - as it doesn't have boning or and of those "gown" like features. My dress was supposed to be tea length, but because I am so short, it went to my ankles. In order to have him make it the proper length, without harming the integrity of the scalloping on the bottom (if he just cut it, it would have frayed), he had to: cut my dress at the waistline and lift it up several inches and re-sew it. I was naturally nervous because he was basically taking apart my dress (and my dress wasn't cheap)! However, when I went to pick it up it was PERFECT craftsmanship. He also sewed a pearl belt onto the waistline for me, and did other nips and tucks to make it fit better. Overall, a great experience, and a reasonable price. I would recommend him to any and everyone. read more

Wow - their service is outstanding. They are excellent tailors - very experienced and so nice and helpful. I found them based on their excellent reviews and I've been back several times - each time the quality and service are terrific. Thank you! read more

At 11am on the day before my brother's wedding, I took my husband's suit out of the closet and realized moths had eaten through the lapel. It was unwearable. I called Tailoring & Alternation Center and asked if there was anything they could do. I dropped it off at 1pm and by 6:30 the same day, they had come up with a very elegant solution using material from the hem of the pants. They helped us out of a bind with absolutely no notice, and hardly charged us for it. We are so grateful to them for their creativity finding a solution and very quick work. read more

This place is awesome. It's like being on the set of the Cosby's. But even better than that, the tailor did a damn good job tailoring my clothes. My skirt's zipper needed to be fixed. Not only did he fix that, he also fixed a rip in my skirt that I did not notice being there free of charge. The tailor also promised me my jacket would be finished a week later. To my eva luvin surprise, he completed it 5 days early!!! The jacket was perfectly done. It's nice to find a business where the work done is above and beyond what was requested. read more

I bought a nice suit from a Brooks Brothers outlet for my wedding, but it was a little too loose for my small frame, so I brought it here to be taken in. It was my first time there, but I was really happy with their service -- they did a great job taking in the jacket and slimming down the pants, and had everything ready in a week. When I picked it up, the pants were hemmed slightly higher than I wanted, but they were able to fix it immediately and it was all done 15 minutes later. Friendly service. The whole thing cost me $100. read more

I have had jeans shortened here and a bridesmaids dress taken in. Both experiences have been excellent! Fair prices, courteous service, and items delivered on time with high quality craftsmanship. Bonus: incredibly convenient location for me.I will definitely use the Tailoring & Alteration Center again! read more

I have been here several times for alterations to pants and shirts. The service excellent. Very friendly, old school feel to the place. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for attention to detail and good customer service. read more

I went here for alterations to a bridesmaid dress based on some of the reviews on here. I was so pleased at the workmanship. It was almost like the dress was never touched; that's how good the sewing was. They are a bit pricier than some but you definitely get what you pay for. Would definitely recommend and return!! read more

They are fabulous! We got custom drapes made for our dining room and get compliments on them all the time. Great job.

I have mixed feelings about this place. The first few times I used them 2 women did the fitting and their work was excellent for reasonable prices. 5 stars! Then I went back 2 more times to have 2 dresses altered (bust decreased in 1 due to weight loss and shorten straps on dress#2). Those times a man (owner?) did the fitting and it didn't go well. For the 1st dress I had to show the man where to take up the darts - where he was pinning was not as good an option -- and he's supposed to be the expert -- although the darts were done well in the end. For the 2nd dress I had a bad feeling about where he was pinning the straps and sure enough the straps were taken up too much - I think they put the seams behind the pins instead of on top and that extra 1/8 inch makes a difference to me. And to top it off those 2 jobs seemed to cost more than the early jobs. So I prefer the women doing the fitting and the last time I went he seemed to be the only one there so I left. read more
