Wah Tee and her husband are amazing humans, so sweet. Wah Tee took such great care of my needs. My vest for work needs some adjustments. I was assured that they would do their best to get the job done. I'm glad I was told about this place. The service was top tier. Can't wait to pickup my vest Thank you Wah-Tee read more

Wah-Tee's Tailoring - Adjustments on my straps is needed. Can't wait to see how it gets done. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Two weeks ago I took a pair of white fringe bottom jeans I'd just purchased from Chicos to Wah-Tee. I called and made an appointment in advance. I waited patiently for a half an hour while she fitted a dress on a young lady and talked and talked, and talked. I picked up my pants a week or so later. They looked terrible; like someone didn't finish and threw them in a bag for pick up. The fringe was not finished, but worse, hadn't even been trimmed. There were long threads and mess hanging off! One leg was fringed more than the other. They weren't stabilized with a stitching at the top as they had been when I brought them. I was so shocked and disappointed. Wah-Tee said, " Aren't they cute? I show you how to fringe and finish them with a safety pen. Seventeen fifty$". read more

Excellent service. They were able to accommodate a quick turnaround in time to get my pants ready for a wedding.

First time here and I am blown away by how kind and professional Wah-Tee and her husband are. Very easy to work with! I'll definitely recommend to all my friends, families and associates. read more

Complains about everything, rude, condescending, and can't be bothered if you're not a rich or known person in the community

Best in San Antonio, not just Alamo Heights. Amazing work. Highly recommend! Good luck trying to find a better price in the area.

I have been to Wah-Tee for years and have always gotten excellent work at a fair price. It's always fun to visit her shop because you come away with more than just great service. She also shares personal words of wisdom! read more

My go-to tailor in SA. I'll be honest, I haven't gone anywhere else in SA because the Yelp reviews led me here over a year ago and I keep going back. Wah-tee is always so welcoming and fun to interact with and her team does a fantastic job on garments. I've gotten mostly pants/jeans done here, but I've seen customers get suits, dresses, shorts and everything in between. Pricing wise, I would say you get a level of service and outcome that corresponds accordingly. I haven't gone to another tailor in SA, nor do I foresee doing so. read more

Wah-Tee's Tailoring - New hours. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

A friend of mine had a wedding to attend to. He thought his suit looked "great" but I uhhh pointed out that it could look really nice having some nip and tucks. Although Wai Tee was obviously overwhelmed with orders, she pointed out that he had like 3 different size types on his upper body. Long story short (yes too late) she was able to transform this "boxy" looking suit to fit perfectly and better than expected. Although timing was very difficult she produced a very handsome suit jacket. read more

Wah Tee is amazing. She helped me out in a time crunch and fixed my wedding dress! Initially I didn't think it was fixable. She recommended a quick fix that actually ended up being beautiful. She is knowledgeable, detailed and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate at all to go back to her or recommend anyone in need of a tailor. read more

After going to a very expensive tailor and then not being able to fix my wedding dress it was recommended that I go to Wah-Tee. She was able to help me in only two appointments and was able to fix the issue! She is very funny and very affordable. I will definitely be going here again. read more

Wah-Tee was able to do a really quick turn on a minor alteration for my wife's business trip. Price was great, but the service came with a very humorous interaction with Wah-Tee. She's a bundle of energy and made the visit memorable. When my wife and I returned to pick up her pants, I had not shave a in a couple of days and Wash-Tee's first statement was not "Hello", but rather, "Who are you, Richard Chamberlain?" Will definitely go back when in need...of alterations and a standup comedian? read more

I went to Wah-Tee's Tailoring, it's not very organized. I wasn't familiar with her protocol. She has high end clients, professional, I asked her repeatedly, "how much is this going to cost?" no answer, asked her husband, crickets. She kept saying, you will like my work. Well, when I went to pick up my clothing, I couldn't believe how much it cost! She didn't give me a break-down of why it cost so much, just the amount to be paid. I will NEVER go to her again. Extremely expensive. read more

I brought in a denim shirt to be resized (to a smaller size). Rather than take measurements, Wah-Tee took a similar shirt of mine to use as a "sample" to get the measurements from. She agreed to modify the larger shirt's width at the sides, and width of the sleeves, to match the smaller shirt's dimensions. When I picked up the modified shirt, Wah-Tee said that it had been a lot of work, that she would never agree to do such a thing again, and that the altered shirt matched the sample exactly. (Of course this made me think she had never done such an alteration before, or she would have known what to expect!) When I got home and looked, I noticed that the shirt dimensions were very different (i.e., the altered shirt was still much larger than the sample shirt). I will try to attach a photo of the sample shirt (darker color) on top of the shirt that she altered (lighter color). The sleeve width is still two inches wider than the sample, and the sides as well. I phoned Wah-Tee the next afternoon and told her that the altered shirt and the sample shirt were in no way even remotely the same size. In response, and in contrast to what she claimed when I picked them up, she said that any two shirts would always be different, and offered as a ridiculous analogy, "You can never turn me into you, or you into me." She said that she had done the best she could, that she would NOT refund my money, and that she was busy. Then she hung up on me mid-conversation, which I found surprising. Interestingly, after dropping off the shirt for her to alter, I went back to clarify with her what she was going to do, and she got kind of snippy and offended that I was questioning her. In irritation, she said that she had at one time been a custom shirt maker, and that she could not believe I was questioning her ability to do a $50 alteration when people had entrusted to her their $14,000 dresses. She closed by saying to me quite bluntly, "It's never the clothes alterations that are the problem; it is the people who wear the clothes that can be the problem." Apparently, for her, it is both. read more

Wonder quality ant an excellent price. Turn around time was also great. Loves the owner. Super friendly!

My hubs surprised me with tickets to the opera. I am pregnant so I had NOTHING to wear and so I hunted for a dress. I came in a few days before the opera and Mrs wah-tee took care of me and got the job done in time! Pricier but definitely worth it since it was an emergency, it was sweet of her to even consider tailoring my dress in such short notice. I will be going back for future tailorings read more

I have to say Wah-Tee is the cutest, sweetest and most adorable lady I've probably met since I've moved to Texas. When I went to drop my pants off there was 6 waiting patiently for service. So I knew this place had to be good. She took her time with each client. Many return clients and she knew them all by name. Her work is amazing. I accidentally popped my button off my Buckle jeans (**cough cough** from too much Yelping where I've gained a pound or ten) and even though she wasn't able to use the button that came with it, she was able to salvage my favorite pair of jeans. She also fixed two pair of slacks that needed fixed. I seen that she fixed suits as well, because the guy in front of me tried his on and was looking pretty GQ walking out of there. Parking is full sometimes. Definitely a busy little shop, not too far from the quarry. I've definitely found my tailor here. (Which I need like 5-6 inches taken off every pair of pants because I'm a shorty) I look forward to coming back, but this time I hope it's for my clothes getting tailored smaller, not for popped off buttons. read more

Wah-Tee's Tailoring - Tailoring area - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Excellent work, reasonable price. I wasn't in a hurry and got my garment back within a month.

I've used other tailors and Wah Tee is someone I can simply count on. I own a boutique down the street so I have sent her a lot of pieces that need repair over the course of three years. She's a hoot that is for sure. She speaks to everyone like they are familiar and like her family.... this can be good or bad depending on your level of sensitivity. The truth is she has a LOT of work, she does great work and doesn't coddle anyone. She's a one woman show at the front most times so if you want a good price and great tailoring come here. If you want fluffy customer service and possibly ok tailoring, then go somewhere else. Something tells me Wah Tee will be unconcerned and continue doing just fine. Also she's super busy so plan on a 2 week turn around for special alterations such as a gown but she has given me next day for simple items on multiple occasions. If you are new, as soon as a room is open just go in a dressing room and put your item on and get ready to jump on the platform and 'gitrdone. 1. Say when you need it. 2. Show her what you want done. 3. Don't assume anything. She needs direction so if you want the alteration to be a certain way, say it or forever hold your peace! 4. Fill out your ticket with info and keep copy for pick up. You pay when you pick up! Here are some items she has fixed for us! read more

See all

Way-tee is amazing she works really fast to get your clothing back to you as fast as possible

The owner is absolutely hilarious!! I needed the sleeves taken up on three sports coats and she was able to get it done very quickly. If you're looking for a good tailor in the 78209-area I would definitely recommend Wah-Tee! read more

Awesome service! She does a through and amazing job. It might take a while but that's only because she's in high demand. So glad I found her

Wah tee is a lovely and professional business-woman. She and her team are always very accommodating with any sort of tailoring need. I don't always ask for them to get something done in a day or two but whenever I do they make sure to have back to me promptly. Most of the times after wah tee has measured me and made the alteration I don't even bother to try it on. I have 100% trust in her services. Thanks Wah-Tee! Also I don't typically do this but this portion of the review is directed to literally the only person that doesn't have a 5 star review on this page. Wah-Tee's Skillset are not largely replicable, she is the best tailor I have come across and I have been AROUNDDD. Who comes into a tailor, the tailor asks you to do something so they can modify your garmet, and you say "No"? Wah Tee is extremely busy and , like you said she had a long line of customers in her shop. She follows a process so all customers will have smooth and efficient visit. You walk into someone else's business trying to change their process and get offended when they correct you. lmao read more

This place is top notch. They have reasonable prices, good turnaround, and the quality is fantastic. I made the mistake of taking a few things to an alteration place closer to home and paid almost 3 times as much. The customer service is terrific and I will continue to take ALL alteration items here in the future. read more

We have been going here for years! They do a phenomenal job! They used to be located in Austin Hwy and we have followed them. I've yet to find a better seamstress/tailor! Excellent service and great work ! read more

Wah Tee does an amazing job for a very affordable price! She can work on anything from Walmart to couture. Would trust her with all of my favorite pieces. read more

THE only place to go alter my clothes! They even fixed an expensive collar that needed to be shortened!

Whoops -- *led! I stand by everything else in the review though :) Really stellar work. I'm so glad I had my dress tailored here!

Here's the deal: in fields, such as tailoring, where you have (i) an elastic supply and (ii) a largely replicable skillset, you are getting rated by me based solely on customer service. While Wah Tee seems to be a skilled tailor based on all the other glowing reviews, in my experience (in addition to a conversation I had with another former client) Wah Tee does not treat potential clients (in this case me) with respect. Here's my story: I come in with a pair of pants that need altering (adding a couple inches to the waistline) and, noticing there is a line upon arrival, I sit down and wait patiently in one of the couches in the waiting area. After a few minutes, what appears to be the owner of the shop asks me what I need. I tell her I need my pants "let out" a couple inches. She then commands me: "take a changing room". I reply: "it's okay, I just need the pants 'taken out' a couple inches". She then retorts, "then don't take a room!". Wow. Really? She then proceeds to bark: "speak proper English and I can do it for you. It is called 'relieving', otherwise I don't know what to do and I take away a couple inches instead of giving you a couple inches. You speak proper English and I can do it for you" Huh? Somebody must have been woken up in the middle of the night last night by territorial tomcats fighting for dominance in the alley behind their house. Even the woman paying at the counter was taken aback, as she looked at me with a somewhat amazed look on her face, raised her eyebrows, and then said, trying to lighten the situation, "that must be a tailoring term" (cue nervous laugh). I had not said anything even remotely offensive to this point. My only offense was (apparently) screwing up what term was commonly used in the tailoring industry for adding a couple inches to a pair of pants' waistline. I stood there for a couple minutes, thought about what transpired more, and then walked out. No need to get harassed further on my lack knowledge on correct tailoring terminology, life is way too short for that. My take-home: there are scores of tailors in SATX that also do a fine job. As such, I can't think of a compelling reason to give business to a grouchy lady that should spend less time correcting potential customers' industry-specific vocabulary and more time catching up on what is clearly a multi-year sleep deficit. read more

Best tailor in Alamo heights! The owner is so personal and is the best in Alamo Heights area. You can tell its an amazing tailor when the lobby is full! Wah Tee remembers your name when you come to pick up your garnets. I don't have to tell her what to fix bc she already knows and how to make my garments fit my body perfectly! read more

This place is amazing. I walked in and she fixed a hole I had in a dress that I needed to wear that night in about five minutes. Really saved me! read more

I searched San Antonio for a quality tailor and finally found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Wah Tee is professional and does great work. She also gives you straight answers to your questions about how a suit fits and If she can fix your suit or if you should simply buy a new one. If you wear suits to work on a regular basis, then you should save her number on your cell phone . . . because if you need alterations done then this is the only call you will need to make. read more

Fast service and great prices. The owner is a pleasure to deal with!!!

Wow! I love Wah Tee's! She and the other associates working are extremely professional! I went in needing alterations on a dress that whoever measured me messed up on, with it being 4 sizes too big!!!! I was completely unhappy and upset but Wah Tee helped me work out what needed to be done with the dress. She is a huge help! Thank you Wah Tee!! read more

Great place for tailoring. I needed a couple of slacks hemmed, and she did a great job and the charge was very reasonable. I highly recommend. read more

I was very impressed with Wah-Tee and the service she provided. She was very personal and courteous. I need a hem replaced in a pair of pants, a pair of jeans shortened and a pair of dress slacks converted from boot cut to straight leg. Prices and service time were both reasonable and the quality of work was excellent. When I picked up my garments, the lobby was full of her regular customers, I was the only new one! I will definitely be back for any tailoring needs, and have already recommended Wah-Tee to my coworkers. read more

Wah Tee does great quality work at a decent price. At other places you pay more for poorer quality work. She really cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. Plus, shes very personable and has a great sense of humor. It's like dropping off clothing with a relative. read more

My family has trusted Wah Tee with our tailoring for years. She's very talented, has fast-turnaround, is a good business woman, has fair prices, and I might add has a GREAT sense of humor--I love going there! Her new location on Broadway is very convenient too. read more

Very reasonable prices and turnaround time. Friendly, and quality work. Will be returning!
