Esmeralda went above and beyond to fix a tear in the dress hem that I thought didn't need to be fixed!
Rebecca D.

Esmeralda is so amazing! 1) great tailoring work 2) very reasonable pricing 3) great communication and responsiveness Currently they do pick ups and drop offs wherever you are, which is super convenient, but I know they are working on getting their brick & mortar open soon. The tailoring job I gave was not easy either - I needed a wrap, high-low dress shortened by 4 or 5 inches, and there was an additional piece of cloth around the hem. Additionally, there was a tear in the hem that I mentioned didn't need to be fixed, but she took the extra cloth and went above and beyond to fix it. It looks perfect!

BEFORE: My mom's vintage skirt I wanted to save. Asked Esmeralda to convert to a stretch waist band.

The entire process with Esmeralda was easy, efficient, and most of all, convenient! I was able to send my inquiry with photos through Yelp. From there, she explained in detail her solutions for what I was looking for. Because of her in depth response, I decided she was the right person for the job. Then I was prompted to book an appointment through her website for her to come to my home for a fitting. That was incredibly easy. When she came, I showed her the items I needed work on and she did a fitting. She was on time and had a mask on (COVID times!). I had her do this on our deck so it was safer than being indoors. Fast forward to receiving my items: everything fit perfectly and looked brand new. What a great experience with a tailor. I highly recommend her!

I hired Tailoring by Esmeralda after reading some reviews online. I was really intrigued with the fact that it's a mobile service. They come to you which was new for me. All correspondence was done via her website and text which was super easy. She came to my home, did measurements, marked where things needed to be adjusted on the sleeves, and then went on her way 30 minutes later. Gave me a timeline of about 2 weeks to add functioning sleeves for four jackets. 2 weeks later she returned with the jackets and I got to try them on in the comfort of my home, check out the fit in the mirror, and then pay later via online invoice. Actually gave her a few more jackets to adjust the sleeve length after the initial four. They came out looking great as well. Hope to hire her again in the future if needed.

Best seamstress/tailor EVER! First of all, she comes TO YOU. Talk about convenient! You can schedule online through her website. She is extremely accessible; you can call and/or text her and she always responds! You also pay online through her secure billing system. (You'll receive an email.) Her prices are VERY reasonable. However, it's her SKILL that really earns the FIVE STARS. I first found Esmeralda while searching for someone to hem a formal dress for a wedding. She came to my condo and had it pinned in a few minutes! (This was a bit last minute as I found the dress only about 2 weeks before the wedding.) She brought the dress back several days before the wedding so that there was time to make any adjustments if needed, but it was already PERFECT! (She's so kind and considerate that she even helped me choose the right pair of earrings to go with the dress from a variety I was considering.) I got so many compliments at the wedding! Then I ordered a comforter that arrived with a crooked bottom edge. I didn't even realize until Esmeralda explained it to me that the real problem was that the bottom edge was a plain seam and was not properly finished. (This would not have shown at the top after folding down the sheet, but I couldn't just flip the comforter because the design can only go in one direction.) She finished it properly, folding the seam inward, and carefully handstitching the last bit. Again, PERFECT! I have a hard time finding jeans to fit. Consequently, when I find a pair that does, I wear it to pieces - - literally. I had 5 pairs of jeans that had various tears and pulls, and I'm too old to pull off the look of jeans that are supposed to have holes and openings, so Esmeralda to the rescue; she patched them up neatly with matching thread and made them all wearable again. This saved me buying all new jeans (which is also a huge chore because of my difficult fit). After the jeans, Esmeralda just expertly tailored 4 dresses for me, 3 knit and one regular cotton, in order to best flatter my figure and /or hang properly. Although off the rack, they now look like they were made just for me! However, her pièce de resistance was making cushions for my 4 outdoor lounge chairs. They are round, satellite style and have a unique, semi-triangular seat shape. I found some mid century modern-esque outdoor fabric (to compliment the period satellite style), and she made the most BEAUTIFUL cushions with foam inside that's made specifically for outdoor. She included ties at the back corners to secure them and hidden back zippers so if necessary I can take off the covers and wash them. They PERFECTLY match the image I had in my mind of how I wanted them to look! (See pictures.) Esmeralda can do it ALL! You will NOT be disappointed!

See all

Will definitely be coming back! Their manager is AWESOME. My coats look brand new. I brought in 6…read morecoats and they were ready so quickly. Amazing customer service on the phone and in person. Their front desk staff are also so wonderful, kind, and helpful. I live all the way in Silver Spring MD and will be making the drive just to come here. They are incredible and really handled my expensive coats with care. They also found everything so quickly when I came to pick up which just goes to show how organized they are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I was highly recommended to bring larger items here, like my comforter, and based on my first…read moreexperience, I understood why. The initial service was impeccable, which is why I decided to return. I'm giving two stars out of grace for that first visit. Unfortunately, my second experience with the exact same item was disappointing. When I picked up my comforter, I noticed small specks of lint scattered across it. I brought this to the manager's attention, and while she insisted she personally handled my item and attempted to remove the lint, that explanation didn't align with the final result. If the issue couldn't be resolved, I should have been notified before leaving--not after I had to point it out myself. I did receive a refund, which I appreciate, but I genuinely wanted this to work. It seemed like the manager had already made up her mind that nothing further could be done, and there was no real effort to try to resolve the issue. At that point, I simply asked for my item back so I could take it somewhere that handles items with more care and attention to detail. It honestly made me question whether my comforter was mixed in with others during the process, especially since I take great care in maintaining it, including regularly steam disinfecting it at home. What was also frustrating was that instead of focusing on my concern, the manager began explaining how other customers' items can come in, as if I was expected to sympathize. My only concern was the condition of my item. Based on this experience, I would recommend keeping it simple here--stick to everyday dry cleaning. I would not suggest bringing larger bedding items like comforters or duvet covers, as the quality and attention to detail may not be consistent.
