Excellent fast service. Efficient and perfect. They followed my directions and did the tailoring just like I asked them to and went above and beyond my expectations. read more

The best tailor in NYC, the team at Wo's are detail oriented, patient, and extremely knowledgeable! Lovely people. Have been coming here for almost 10 years - they did my wedding dress and complex tailoring on suit jackets, to even just simple hemming! read more

Texted them, emailed them and called. They never got back to me with a price, which is just as well, because it showed me that they were not reliable. read more

I am very impressed by the detailed reply for my service. Their price is very specific with different options in service and they also mentioned the exact location of the business and their hours along with availability for a quick turnaround service option. Readiness and expertise! read more

Wo's does quality alterations. Located on the 2nd floor of a building on the upper East Side without an elevator, The shop is attractive and clean and the prices are high. The combination of the stairs (they're steep) and high prices will, in the future, lead me to choose Wo's only when I need better than usual alterations. read more

Although I have yet to use their tailor services they took me quickly for a consultation and quoted a decent price for the work compared to other places for a wedding gown. They were realistic about what could be done which I appreciated the honesty as it was clear they were not trying to upsell me. Note I asked if they could make a simpler custom lace bridal topper/bolero and they said I would need to bring in the fabric and it be $1200, which seemed quite expensive. Overall great experience read more

Outstanding tailor. Can't recommend enough! High quality work, friendly service, timely, and fairly priced!

Amazing service! I inquired online and received a response with a few hours. Turnaround time was 2 weeks, but could have been sooner. The staff was very friendly and dress alterations were on point! She hit every curve. read more

Wo's Custom Tailoring - altered dress - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - New York, New York

Amazing service! Super attentive and thorough and well priced. They also got my dress tailored super quickly.

Amazing and skilled staff who absolutely provide the best services. Just speaking to them, elicited full confidence in their advice and the results were perfect ! Thank you, Sheila and staff! read more

Courteous and knowledgeable staff. Realistic guidance on what should and should not be done with a 20 year old custom suit. Clear adherence to time schedule. Good inspections of completed work rather than pushing it out the door. Reasonable prices. read more

Disappointing experience. I had a brand new bridesmaid dress that was too long and big in waist / sleeve area. For the two different areas the total was $250 for alterations. The result had me exposed in the front by the way things were taken in and I will now need to tape the dress down for the wedding on both sides. This is what the tailor specifically said I should do even though I didn't anticipate having this issue. When I asked how much that part was specifically it was $180. I suggested that feels overpriced for now needing to rush order boob tape. She didn't budge and proceeded to tell me my waist was too big to take the area in a different way and increased the price since I was doing the balance with Venmo not cash. Won't be back. read more

I got my wool Max Mara coat shortened here. I was quoted $300 to shorten and ensure that the stitching was the same. I was quoted $160 if they were to cut the coat shorter, fold back the fabric, and sew it back (would be very thick on the bottom) To keep the same stitching for the Max Mara double wool coat, you have to be very careful in separating the two layers after cutting the fabric to your desired length. In my opinion, it is expensive to get it shortened here but 100% worth it. They did an amazing job and it looks like I never made any alterations. read more

Can't recommend Wo's Tailoring enough! Because my Berta wedding dress had a lot of intricate detail, the team was very meticulous and realistic about what alterations could be made. Before making any major changes, they triple checked it was what I wanted. They even showed me a cost saving alternative to adding a bustle onto my dress, instead of taking more money from me and compromising the design like another tailor had suggested. I decided to go with Wo's because I knew I'd be in good hands. Please support this lovely small business with your tailoring needs! read more

Bad experience here - I requested a quote for 8 items and received a response that "The price is $x for the sewing work." I traveled 30 minutes and waited another 30 minutes to be helped. Upon checkout, the lady helping me told me this was the per piece cost. I showed her what she wrote to me in the quote and she clearly knew she was in the wrong. However, she wasn't willing to honor the quote. Waste of time... I'm giving an extra star because they were at least friendly. read more

They made it so easy! Def recommend. They did a fabulous job with my bridesmaid dress

My very good friend Micheal sent me here and my mind was blown with how they improved my already custom suit

Great service, had a suit, linen blazer, two shirts and a shirt jacket done. All completed with the original look and feel. Amazing how they maintained the integrity of the design and took extra care when the pieces were completed. I highly recommend Wo's Tailor, will not consider other options read more

The shop is clean and organized. I had 3 pairs of pants and shorts altered. The shorts, in particular, involved a complicated alteration of the waist. Everything was perfectly done at a reasonable price. They listened to what I wanted and did it. Their turn around time of one week is quick compared to other tailors. They are opened on Sundays which is a plus. Appointments are not required. They do not take credit cards. Be prepared to pay in cash or by Zelle. They are all very nice people and very professional. I highly recommend. read more

I have been coming to Wo's tailoring for about 6 years now. I found them when I lived in the Upper East Side, but I still make trek since I've moved to the West Side. I've gone to a bunch of tailors in the past, but none like Wo's. The price is fair (remember this is NYC though!), service is friendly, and their work is consistently excellent. I tend to be rather last minute when it comes to my tailoring needs, and they have always made it happen on time for me. Furthermore, I especially appreciate their honesty. I have had a few pieces where after explaining what I wanted done, I was told the price and that it was not worth the expense. It speaks to their integrity, and I trust them with my (sometimes rather expensive) closet. I wholeheartedly recommend Wo's tailoring - to the point where I would walk across Central Park in the pouring rain to get there (true story. If you're a New Yorker, you know that's dedication lol). read more

DOING THE RIGHT THING: I think it's important to let others know that merchants are honorable people. Within the past 18 hours of having left my three sport coats for alterations, I changed my mind. I went back to Shelia and requested a cancellation. Without hesitation, questions or pushback she complied with my request, and refunded my cash. All with her pleasant, effervescent smile. This speaks volumes to me. Thank you Shelia. read more

Wo's saved my wedding. I bought a far too big wedding dress at Kleinfeld's sample sale and was misled by the sales consultant about the alternation needs. Wo's worked their magic and gave me the dress of my dreams. Their attention to detail and skill reworked a size 10 ball gown with applique down to a size 4. They listened to my feedback and were patient with my questions. I probably went in for 8 fittings to get everything just right. Sheila made the scheduling process very easy and worked with my schedule. They also hemmed my husband's jeans and took in the lace sleeves of another of my dresses and did a great job on all of it. Their prices may seem high but they are honest. Pricing factors in the fabric, amount of work, and they set realistic expectations. You definitely pay for what you get. read more

They used to be very good. The tailor has changed and Now with the new tailor they have gone VERY BAD. I took my Designer shirt to shorten the sleeves. They ruined it Their high price does not match their low quality job. read more

Excellent experience with kind and patient staff. Definitely recommend!! Prices were reasonable

It's not easy finding a decent tailor. These two sweet women are very straightforward and helpful each time I visit. I live two blocks away and find them to be very thorough and good quality. I've had three jeans hemmed and tailored here and I am happy with all the work they've done for me so far. read more

THE BEST TAILOR!!! Needed this custom wedding Berta gown altered in a very very short turn around time. They were so attentive, accommodating, and fair priced!! Cannot suggest them more. You can trust them with the most intricate designer pieces! Will be back! read more

Wo's Custom Tailoring - PERFECT CUSTOM BERTA ALTERNATION! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - New York, New York

Just stopped in again for another suit alteration- they made great recommendations and made the process of getting a suit tailored neither scary nor confusing. They're also now taking payment via Venmo or Square Cash which is super convient. Since I didn't need my suit right away they offered me a two week turn around which I was happy to accept- but they can do alterations faster if needed! When I picked up the suit everything fit and looked perfect and they made sure I tried it on and was happy. They're worth the extra money!!! read more

Quick and very responsive. Excellent pricing and customer service. They were able to do a same day order no problem!

I came to Wo's with a suit I bought online that was supposed to give me a "perfect fit" based on their algorithm. The jacket ended up being about four sizes too big. While I can't speak to the quality of Wo's alterations, I can speak to their honesty. It would have been easy to take the $500 from me to reshape and then alter the original blazer. Instead they told me it wasn't worth the price to alter and to return the item for something smaller. for great customer service. read more

What a find. They repaired two holes in my cashmere sweater so well that I can't even tell where they were.

While I was not able to do business this time, I will keep them in mind. For the minor amount of work needed (pants hemming and a new zipper), I was able to find a local person who quoted a better price. I will say Sheila was very nice in her responses to me and I appreciate her kindness. read more

I came here for tailoring my wedding dress and it couldn't have gone better! From beginning to end, Sheila was super responsive and helpful. I'm 5'2 and weigh 100 lbs. Since I'm petite, my dress needed a lot of work despite buying the smallest size. My dress needed to be shortened and taken in at the torso, the hips needed to be taken in, straps shortened, hemmed, bustled and breast cups added. Sheila helped me understand what steps needed to be taken and in which order so I felt confident in what they were doing before they did it. 3 fittings later, the dress fit me like a glove! Highly recommend Wo's for all alterations needs. read more

Wo's Custom Tailoring - Perfectly fitted vintage beaded dress !! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - New York, New York

I brought a vintage leather jacket here to have the lining redone. Wo's did an incredible job. Not only did they recommend an even better fabric for the lining, they perfectly preserved the original tailor's patch that was on the inside of the jacket. It belonged to a lost family member, so keeping it as close to original as possible meant a lot. I would definitely use Wo again for any tailoring needs. read more

I had a last-minute-choice-for-an-evening-dress for a gala that needed to be altered immediately. I knew I was asking a lot to be making such a request the night before the event when I went searching for alteration possibilities on the internet. One of the staff members at Wo's reached out saying they'd be able to accommodate. I brought my dress in the next morning (forgetting to bring the shoes I'd wear with it) and was greeted with patience and flexibility. My dress was ready when I got off of work. Professionally done and with a "make-it-happen" attitude. Kudos to the staff! read more

Wo's did a fantastic job hemming outfits I needed for an upcoming wedding. More than anything, they made me feel comfortable and enjoy the experience of having clothes reworked to actually look better on me. They are also very honest about what actually needs to be tailored and what does not. I appreciated that a ton especially because it's hard to find a tailor that will let you know what doesn't need additional alterations. Would highly recommend as it's worth the price and definitely coming back for future tailoring requests! read more

Great tailor that can handle almost every type of clothing. I have primarily hemmed pants here and they've done an excellent job. They're even able to leave the original hems on jeans if you want. Price is reasonable for the great quality work they perform. Cash only though. read more

I live in the UWS and come to Wo's to get my alterations done. (it's about a 30 minute commute, which I thinks says a lot) I've brought in 4 gowns thus far (2 bridesmaids dresses, 2 bridal dresses) and have been completely satisfied each and every time. The ladies are super friendly and so knowledgeable, and I fully trust their recommendations and expertise. They truly know what they are doing and I have always felt safe and confident knowing that I will be happy with the outcome of the tailoring. All of my dresses have turned out beautifully; I've gotten the length hemmed, cups put in, straps shortened, waists taken in, etc. They are also so accommodating and will work with you to figure out timing that works best for all. Turn around time will depend on what you need done and how many fittings you need, and I have never had an issue as they are so efficient! ***Ladies, make sure to bring your shoes/heels with you!! I must admit, I was definitely weary of the cost of alterations when I first stepped in and got a quote, but I then compared to other places that were double/triple their price -- so, yeah, DO NOT HESITATE: Wo's is the best! read more

Update: just want to say thank you to Sheila for her response! I really appreciate it. I know there was no ill intent behind her comments. I still felt the need to share with other potential customers, but I do really appreciate her reaching out. Thank you. read more

They did a flawless job on hemming my shirt! Highly recommend. And i went back for more
