I had a jacket for my hubby that I wanted some vintage Gemini mission patches sewn on for Christmas. I support local, and this is a "mom and pop" business that I can believe in! They very quickly got the spacing and arrangement on the back perfect. It was done in a week, and for a responsible price. I'll post the pics after the present is open! Need some sewing done, go here for reliable, fast, and reasonable prices, you can't go wrong here! read more

I've been going here since the 60's. Passed on to the next generation. Smells the same, I would walk there from our house on Euclid, I couldn't walk by without opening the door to say hi and smell leather and polish. Great memories of the shopping center. Great work. Great everything. They have serviced my families shoes, purses and clothes forever. You would swear you walked into a Time Machine. read more

This alteration shop is amazing! The quality of work, efficiency, reasonable pricing and turnaround time is always on point! I bring personal alterations (including ballgowns) and my husband's NJROTC student uniform alterations here. In addition to the quality of work, everyone I have spoken with at this shop is extremely congenial and engaging and it is so appreciated. This shop was recommended to me by my family after I moved back home from the east coast. I have recommended this shop to everyone I know. I grew up here, so that is a lot of people. Thank you Tailorite! Robin R Lane read more

The service is prompt and professional. I brought some expensive pants to be hemmed and was concerned they would be too short. Mr. Duke measured me, and it was perfect . My husband later took in a suit to be altered, and the results were also exceptional. I feel confident in using Tailorite for all my alterations. I plan to try their dry cleaning service. read more

Not sure how I feel about this place. Was suggested by a friend to tailor some Chinese outfits for our wedding and needed someone who could tailor silk. Needed a men's jacket and women's jacket tailored. Took longer than expected which was fine, she called to let us know that. In the end there was a hole she had to fix before we could leave with our garments, which took another 15 minutes, which was fine, just walked to Basil Leaf for boba and came back. Came out to $75 for the men's jacket and $100 for the women's. Sounds like the women's was a lot of work, which I understand. I don't tailor many things often, so maybe this is normal, it just felt steep for what it is, considering the items themselves didn't cost much more than the amount to tailor them. read more

This family run business has saved my bacon countless times. I love their professionalism and attention to detail. I have trusted them for years, and plan to continue. read more

I have been a patron here for almost ten years. There's a reason I've continued to go there for every alteration I've needed done in that whole time span. From cleaning, to hems, to sewing on patches, they never fail to do a perfect job. They have always done everything well and correctly for a wide array of garments. I have never had to have anything redone or fixed. They always do things in a very timely manner, usually less than a week. The few times I have needed an item in a rush, they always ensure it is ready in time and are willing to work with my schedule. This shop is family-run and they are always so kind to me every time I come in, creating a welcoming and warm environment. The prices are a bit high, but not beyond reasonable. For the quality of the work they do it is absolutely worth it. Come here for any and all of your tailor needs, you will leave satisfied and impressed! read more

Needed a vest tailored for a wedding later the same day, Tailorite came through, and got the job done with plenty of time to spare. It was cheaper than expected as well. Couldn't be more pleased. read more

The man told me when I brought pants in that the woman who makes the prices wasn't there but that it wouldn't be expensive at all. I should have asked him what his idea of expensive was because a week later they told me it was $86 to alter 4 pairs of pants. My mother in law wanted her jeans shortened and taken in at the waist. I had 3 pair of scrub pants that needed to be lengthened and I gave them a 4th pair to use for the fabric to add the length. "It won't be expensive at all" The year Wilson's leather closed I got a beautiful white leather motorcycle jacket with zippers at the end of the sleeves. As with my legs, my arms needed some length so I took that jacket to a (different) shop and they extended the sleeves and moved the zipper for $14. Surely a pair of scrub pants wouldn't be that much. WRONG! A friend told me to go to the alteration shop on Wyoming just north of constitution and they'd do it for a couple bucks. It was my terrible luck that I didn't remember exactly, so I overshot the major street and went to Eubank. I figured they'd all be about the same. Seems like every major road in ABQ has an alteration shop and prices should be competitive.... Wrong again! I picked up today and when they said it was $86 and some change, I nearly choked. Turns out they decided it would be $15 per pair of scrubs and the blue jeans were around $35 (plus tax) I expressed my displeasure but they fought with me and made me feel like a real sucker. Rude. She basically called me a liar when I told her that I had an infinitely more complex tailor job done on a leather jacket for a third of what she was trying to charge me. After a $5 discount we left with our clothes. My bad again because I could have just bought brand new pants that were long enough in the first place.... for the same price. I should have just given her the damn things and spent my money on new pants. I would encourage you to do you homework first and don't go to this place. To add insult to injury, I drove to the alteration shop on Wyoming (the one my friend recommended) to get and estimate and guess what, he told me it would be $12. These people are scammers. Don't take your clothing here and get ripped off like I did. I feel like a buffoon for even paying the price and I'm disgusted with how people take advantage of others. read more

Great tailor. Great service. Professional workmanship. It doesn't get much better. Ask for Duke

Wonderful! The tailor is truly professional. He was able to alter my pants and vests for me with precision. The cost is very very reasonable. read more

My bf needed the sleeves of two coats shortened literally ASAP. We were leaving for New York the next day and he needed to find somewhere that could Have them done in a few hours. One was a wool London Fog trench coat with buttons on the sleeve and the other was a polo windbreaker. Tailorite said we could bring it in that morning we called around 10am and that it would be ready by 2 pm. They got this done on time and the work was impeccable. I'll definitely use them again and the prices were very decent considering they didn't even charge me for a rush. read more

This place is a rip-off. I took them 3 pair of slacks to be hemmed. I paid $30 when I picked them up, but got home only to find they only hemmed one. They are not about to make it right. I'll never do business with them again! read more

I needed a bridesmaid dress altered for a wedding last minute. I went in and asked if they could do it on short notice and it was no problem at all. When I got the dress back the alterations were done well and the cost was very inexpensive. read more

First of all, Chris is not expensive, does amazing work and really helped us out in a crisis. I know what it costs for good alterations and the reviews that complain about Chris's pricing are not accurate. It was the day before prom, when we had to have a dress hemmed. Chris got it done in less than an hour, just before closing on a Friday night. And it is a beautiful job. I highly recommend Chris's Custom Sewing. read more

They are seam genies. I seriously took them a Levis jacket that was too big because they werent making that color any more and they fitted it and it still looked brand-new, like it came off the factory line, made to fit. I take them all the impossible cases. I've had them cut off sleeves, add slits to shirts...I live in Denver and bring my clothes with me for alterations because after going here for quite a few years I don't think I'll ever find anyone as good as them. read more

The work was good, but they charged me $25 to sew one straight seem. A bit expensive in my opinion for something that is fairly straightforward. read more

I needed a zipper fixed bc we were leaving town in 3 days. Not only did she completely replace the zipper, she also patched a broken seam in the armpit that I didn't even mention. Very reasonably priced, excellent customer service! Definately our new go-to place! read more

I've been going to them for over 10 years. Never had a problem with them and love the way my clothes turn out from the dry cleaning to the tailoring of them. As for their prices, I think they're reasonable depending on your request. read more

This is an overpriced tailoring shop. I brought 2 formal dresses to get hemmed and I was charged $150. Not sure why one dress was more than the other when the job is the same. I don't recommend. read more

Been going here for over a decade. They always do a great job and turn my clothes around quickly when I need it. read more

Duc is an expert & his wife is helpful & has a good eye for fit. Expensive prices. Ruined a pair of VERY expensive mens trousers. Had a cashmere Burberry coat altered & they RUINED the nap of the fabric. $1800 coat that looks damaged up close. Very disappointed with two items that are now irreparably damaged. Used to be impeccable quality. Very disappointed. read more

Just picked up two bridesmaid dresses that were hemmed. One dress was ok, but the other was horrible. The hem visibly curved up, and was not in a straight line. The under layer shows by about an inch on the one side. The front and back were also too long. I also had the dress let out. Overall the alteration of hem and let out cost more than the dress! Way too expensive. I would not recommend Tailorite! read more

Took a wedding dress to be altered. We needed it taken in and shortened. We were told it would take two to three weeks. Three weeks later we called and they hadn't started it but said it would be done by May4th (the day of the wedding). We stated that we needed it sooner so if anything was wrong we could address it. A little over a week later they called and said it was done. Picked it up, and it's not taken in at all because they decided it was too hard. The length was shortened by pulling the bottom up under the dress and hastily stitching it in a few spots. This cost 150. Needless to say, it doesn't fit and the wedding is a few days away. DON'T GET THINGS ALTERED HERE. Terrible service and paid way too much to do something that literally anybody with a needle and thread could have done. Now we have to scramble and hope we can get it altered in time. The only reason to ever take anything here is to add stress to your life and waste money. read more
