    jumpsuit was sent back to me with the chalk line but without hemming
    Cecillia X.

    I am really sad to report that Tailors Atelier has gone downhill since my last review, depending on which tailor is assigned to your clothing. I brought in a dress and a jumpsuit to be hemmed, and another jumpsuit to raise the crotch. When I went to pick them up, the dress was fine but the jumpsuits were not! One jumpsuit was still too long, which is so frustrating because it was a simple straight line hem. I was told that I had to return another day for Nigel to fit my jumpsuits all over again. The woman told me that she would let Nigel know, and I could come back any day, and they would be done same day. I came back a few weeks later after finally finding time (I have moved out of the East Village since my previous review, so now it's really inconvenient for me to trek there again). Nigel did the refitting but then said that I would have to come back AGAIN to pick them up. I told him it was quite far for me, so he agreed to messenger my jumpsuits to me, which is very nice (and the reason for three stars instead of one). Well, when I got the bag with my two jumpsuits, guess what? Nothing had changed; they sent me back the jumpsuits without tailoring them! The jumpsuit that needed hemming even has the chalk lines on it still (see photo). I couldn't believe my eyes. Did they just send me BACK my clothing without tailoring them, necessitating me to make ANOTHER trip there? And how would I even know they would actually do it this time? tldr; Tailors Atelier has a lot of organizational and communication issues among the tailors and staff, and the quality of tailoring can vary depending on tailor. I would not bring cheaper clothing (eg straight hemming) back to them, for now their price far exceeds the trips back and forth, and I am so frustrated that I paid so much just for many headaches. I have had to send my clothing now twice (and counting!) to fix them. Nigel himself however is a gem and very competent.

    I came across Tailors Atelier thru a friend of mind posting their work on his suit. I came in with a HUGE problem lol I had a wedding to attend on short notice and a poorly fitting suit. I came into the location and was greeted to a very busy shop with many pickups and alterations going on, but yet Nigel made it feel as if it was just me and him in the store the attention paid to me and to every detail of the fit issues I was having was amazing. I came in on tuesday and was able to pick up my amazing fitting suit on friday such a quick turnaround for a full alteration on suit is amazing and the suit fit like a dream. I can not wait until my next visit to the east village so that Nigel can bless another one of my suits.

    The response I got from the owner. As you can see customer service is not a thing here.

    We used to go here frequently for all of our tailoring needs and the business was incredible. However, after moving uptown for a few years and no longer being regulars, Nigel quickly forgot about us, and the service and attention to detail has severely gone downhill. My boyfriend came in to get his jeans hemmed and it came back with a missing button. Nigel tried to say the jeans came like that, but they were literally fresh off the shelf from APC - and there were no missing buttons when we dropped them off. My boyfriend complained and the team begrudgingly put on a new button, and even though we pleaded with them to get the correct APC button from down the street, they put a random mismatched one onto the jeans. We had to then take the jeans BACK to APC for them to take the mismatched button off, and put an APC one back on. Disaster.

    I cannot say enough about how awesome my experience was at Tailors Atelier. Not only did my husband and I look fantastic on our wedding day (we even ended up being included in a Vogue article about NYC City Hall Wedding Style), we just enjoyed working with Nigel and his team during the whole process. I took my wedding dress to Nigel to be tailored. My husband and I got married at City Hall on March 24. He was super efficient and incredibly knowledgable. He knew the dress, designer, and season without me even having to say anything and he'd worked with the dress before. He recommended the perfect undergarments for the dress and also added cups to the dress which saved me a good $175 since I didn't need to buy a bra. Nigel was incredibly flexible and even took a look at pictures of my husbands suit which I though his tailor didn't do a good job on. As I suspected, one of the sleeves on my husband's three piece suit was uneven and longer than the other which Nigel spotted immediately. After Nigel and team got their hands on it, my husbands suit fit like a glove. The store where he bought it did the initial tailoring and it didnt' even compare to what it looked like once he picked it up from Nigel. Finally - once my gown was ready - there was some mixup about the pickup and it wasn't ready to go when my husband went to pick it up for me. Nigel drove up to our home and DROPPED THE DRESS OFF IN PERSON! I mean, just above and beyond. We could have picked the dress up the next day, no problem, but he'd agreed to have it to me that day and he totally came through! And on top of delivering stellar service he and his wife just make the experience so enjoyable. They were so welcoming and personable - it felt like we had been going to their shop for years not just a few weeks. Anyway - I

    Left if my wedding dress pre-alterations. Right is my third fitting.

    I had a great experience at Tailors Atelier and would not hesitate to recommend it! I bought my wedding dress at Jenny Yoo and they don't do in house alterations and instead give a list of suggestions. Tailors Atelier was not one of them, but they were downtown and had great reviews. I was easily made an appointment and Nigel did my first fitting. Everyone was really nice and I felt really comfortable working with Nigel. I scheduled my following appointments and came back for the second with Sana. All of the first alterations were great - she thoughtfully considered my questions, including whether or not the bottom needed to be a bit more snug, but after pining it, we agreed that it was fine the way it was. She just had to adjust the length and discuss bustling. My third fitting was just trying on the dress and making sure everything fit. After that, I confirmed that I could just pick up the steamed and ready to go dress the day before my wedding. The only tiny snafu was that when I came to pick it up, they suggested I try the dress on. After waiting and doing trying it on, confirming it looked as great as it did before, they noted that now because I had tried it on, it needed to be steamed again, which would take a few hours. I panicked because I had a rehearsal dinner to go to and hadn't even intended on trying it on and wouldn't have done it had I known. While a tiny bit stressful, it was out of an abundance of care for my dress that they wanted to make sure it was perfectly fit and perfectly steamed. Anyways, if you need your wedding dress altered, go to Tailors Atelier. They'll do a great job.

    My wedding dress turned out perfectly with the tailoring I had done here. Perfection was the name of the game, and the team didn't stop until it was exactly right. The fabric of my dress was tough to work with, but they problem-solved until it was exactly correct. They also did a French Bustle, which I got lots of comments on at my wedding. They even gave me some accessory advice, which I gladly took. I would highly recommend.

This was off just having a terrible experience with some shirts getting butchered by the local dry cleaner, so I wanted a more professional take. I walked in completely clueless on a whim, tactlessly not making an appointment, and even though it was Juan's lunchbreak he still immediately took the time to see me and work with me. That said... let the man eat. Don't interrupt his break! I still feel bad about it!!! About the tailoring: Juan is just That Dude. He WILL make you look better and point out ways to make the clothes better compliment your body that others don't even know about. The pricing felt extremely fair and not at all like I was being overcharged for the amount and quality of work being done. Not only that, Juan did me a solid by getting the alterations done in-time with a big move out of state. Last minute, off of a random walk-in, and brother still treated me like I was a long time regular. And matter of fact, even though I'm going to be living down south I WILL still be getting my nicest clothing tailored by Juan. That's what his work is worth to me. 10/10 will be making sure I get my nephews' first suits tailored by him too

Head tailor Juan Cuello is exceptionally skilled and relentlessly professional--he simply won't stop until the fit is perfect. Over the past six years, I've brought him around a dozen off-the-rack suits, and he has consistently transformed them to look and feel like high-end made-to-measure pieces. The difference in drape, balance, and overall silhouette is remarkable. I've used other tailors for alterations, but none come close to Juan's level of precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. He takes real pride in his work, and it shows in every finished garment. Juan is truly one of a kind.
