    I can't say enough good things about Sara! I was referred to Sara by Lovely in Old City. I was super nervous going into my first appointment knowing my dress needed a ton of work to the top. However, my nerves quickly disappeared as Sara quickly demonstrated how skilled she really is. She was patient and listened to all my concerns. In the end my dress fit like a glove and I felt comfortable and confident all day and night. Sara also is great to work with. She's as nice as they come, responds quickly to emails, and kept to her timeline. Highly, highly recommend.

    If you do not get your dress fitted at the Tailory you're crazy. Sara is an amazing and talented person who makes you feel right at home and so comfortable upon meeting her. My dress needed alterations has far as the hem and adjustments on the top. Everything worked out beautifully and Sara even added in boning so that the top was more comfortable. I felt amazing on my wedding day and Sara had a huge part of it!

    I was referred to Sara by a friend and it was the best decision I made ! Sara is a real professional she has a degree In design And makes her own wedding gowns too; this is very important when it comes to making Changes to a wedding gown. She is very detail oriented when it comes to alterations. My wedding gown was a beaded bodice with trumpet bottom and lots of tule, also was nearly two sizes too big . Sara made it fit like a dream! She is very reasonability priced and fair . She made me feel beautiful on my wedding day ! I received so many compliments on my gown ! Thank you Sara !

    Sara was such a pleasure to work with and did an excellent job altering my wedding gown and accessory wings! She truly went above and beyond and made sure everything was PERFECT. She is also just an all around lovely person! I highly recommend her for your special event!

    I was referred to The Tailory from Sabrina Ann Consignment, where I purchased my wedding dress. Although I live in Center City, I figured Manayunk wasn't too far of a drive. Each fitting with Sara was productive and fun. She is patient and strives to get you the look and fit you want. I joked with her that now that I've had something custom tailored, I can't look at my clothes and their fit the same way again. I ended up getting another dress for a wedding altered there as well. Sara is a pleasure to work with. She provided me with an accurate estimate and was easy to communicate with. The alterations cost ended up being $675, which was a hard pill to swallow, but I was really happy with the fit the day of. Highly recommend!

    My wedding day was absolutely perfect and part of that reason was the amazing job Sara did on my dress! I had a unique situation because I bought my dress from Sabrina Ann's which is a consignment wedding dress shop in Ardmore. They recommended that I get in touch with Sara at the Tailory for my alterations. Sara was easy to contact via email (her preferred method for contact) and responded quickly. We had an appointment several months before the wedding and had follow up appointments (3 actually) weeks before. What I really admire about Sara is that she is not just a bridal tailor, she is also a wedding gown designer. She definitely has more than just an eye for altering dresses, she can also find solutions for dresses (including mine) that was altered more than once. Since my dress was a consignment Tara Keely by Lazaro, it needed some help with lace arrangement, a new bustle, an overall silhouette change (altered to the prior bride's shape) on top of just taking in the sides and sewing in cups. She can most certainly guide you on what looks nice and what the material can do. I especially really admire that Sara takes the time to really fix the dress. She took time to rearrange the lace so that it was even (the prior tailor had placed it a little haphazardly), and after my second to last fitting, she had spent extra time working on the bodice so it was just right for my shape. In the end, the dress was perfect because of Sara and I couldn't possibly thank her enough. All I can say is, Sara will definitely alter the dress to the best of her ability and go above and beyond for you, until she feels the dress is perfect. It's just that design eye she has ;) On top of that, her store is now located in Wissahickon (right down the street from me, neighbors!) Please inquire for her new location, as she is not in old city anymore.

    Sara did an amazing job with my dress!

    Sara tailored my wedding dress in September. She did an amazing job and for a super reasonable price! The bottom of my wedding dress was pink and I did not want to lose that when we shortened it so Sara detached all the pink "petals" from my dress and reattached them to give me the look I wanted and I know it was a ton of work. All in all, she is amazing!

    The dress fit like a glove!

    I'm so happy I found Sara for my wedding dress alterations. She was patient and worked with me (and my mother!) through 3 fittings to help me figure out exactly what I wanted to do with my dress. Her suggestions were on point and she offered creative options to help ensure I looked amazing in my dress. I was sure I would want to change into my after party dress right away but ended up loving my perfectly fitted dress so much that I was sad to take it off at the end of the night. Her services were reasonably priced and I was so happy with how my dress turned out. Thanks Sara!

    I was referred to Sara at The Tailory after I purchased my wedding gown from Lovely Bride in Old City. The dress was big when it came in, and I was nervous! Sara did a great job assuring me that it was the right size and would be perfect after alterations. I had two fittings before picking up my dress, and Sara was very attentive to every detail she saw, and responded to questions we had or things we felt needed to be tweaked. Sara's studio is private and lovely, easy to get to with parking right outside. She talked us through how to care for the dress in the days before the wedding and what to do on wedding day. I highly recommend Sara for your wedding dress alterations!

    Thank you so much to Scissors & Needle - The Tailor Shop at KOP for making the Elk Spring Travel…read moreteam look fancy for our voyage on Cunard Line next week! Quick turnaround for two new suits to be tailored and pressed. Excellent service! Scott & Pablo Layton

    6/6/24 12:30pm…read more ** update to the review below*** I am disgusted. Went home to try on the suit.... HORRIBLE work. I asked the tailor to fit the pants to make them tapered and fitted meaning from the waist , thighs down to the ankles. He said yes no problem. When I tried them on it was awful. He just tapered at the ankle nothing done at the thighs And the taper at the ankle was so tight I could barely get my leg through. Then the one leg is tighter than the other. Omg I would be laughing if I hadn't paid good money for this work. It looks like some badly made HAMMER PANTS The suit jacket.... He just shortened the arms without adjust the shoulder width. This tailor has no idea what to do with suits. I am going back to demand my money back. I wish I could give ZERO STARS. ----------- 6/6/24 11:00am Disappointing all around. Brought in a suit I needed adjusted for a ln event on a certain date. All that was communicated. They promised they could get everything done. Only for me to come back and promised adjustments were not done. What was done was sloppy. Promised me it all be fixed the next day. Came back and the tailor had be even touched the suit. Waited for 45 mins while he helped other customers. Had to leave and go buy off the rack for my event. Finally came back for suit and he tried to charge me for work that was NEVER done. Ridiculous.

    Stanton 1 Hour Cleaners - Linen pants and shirt Stanton did. Incredible work and customer service.

    My experience at Stanton cleaners was not the best . I dropped my husband suit off to be cleaned…read morefor same day cleaning. I was excited because i found someone to do it at last minute now I will admit the suit had a big nasty spot on it that I sprayed with some shout before I left my home . When I arrive the manager ask me did I put something on it and I said yes . what I'm upset about is I believe he Knew deep down that the suit was ruined but charged me 65 dollars to clean it . I paid the money up front which was different for me when I use a cleaners because I normally pay after the service has been completed . The first thing I notice when picked up the suit was all the customers paid as they picked up their belongings. The other part is nobody even told me the suit was not completely clean or even mentioned it until ask so had I not look for myself before I left they would have just let me leave . My belief is they only pressed the clothes and never clean them at all because the other worker took the white dress shirt that was also not clean and just put bleach on it to remove the spot but the neck of the shirt still had dirt stains. The worse part of it is I had to practically beg to get management on the phone and was told he didn't want to ruin his Saturday night . When he notice I was not leaving without some type of refund he got him on the phone . Management did give me half of my money back but why do I have to even ask you for some type of refund when you know the service I expected was not completely done . I hope in the future Stanton will be honest with their customers and not just take advantage to make a dollar . My advice to anyone who use their service check your clothes before you leave
