Young's Tailor is hands down the worst tailoring experience I've ever had. I dropped off two pairs of jeans -- one being rhinestone jeans -- and was told they would be ready the following Wednesday. When I came back the next Thursday to drop off a suit that I urgently needed for an event the very next day, I found out only ONE pair of jeans had been touched (the simple button repair). The rhinestone jeans were not done at all. Despite this, I was assured multiple times that my suit would absolutely be ready by 1 PM the next day. I was very clear about the deadline and asked repeatedly if this was guaranteed. I dropped the suit off around 2 PM and was explicitly told it would be done on time. Then, at 8:30 PM that same night, I received a call saying: 1. The alterations would now cost almost $500 -- after originally being quoted a fraction of that 2. The suit would NOT be ready on time By that point, every other tailor was closed, and since they don't open until 10 AM, I was left with no realistic chance to get the suit altered before my event. The result? I couldn't wear the suit at all. On top of the incompetence, they were unapologetic and rude. The guy working the front clearly has no idea what he's doing and gave me false assurances from the start. This felt like a bait-and-switch with pricing and timelines, and it completely ruined an important event for me. Unacceptable service, dishonest communication, and zero accountability. Save yourself the stress and go literally anywhere else. read more

I had 3 shirts taken in at the trunk only. They already fit great at the shoulders/arms. Simple enough. He placed pins only on each side of my trunk - none in the arms/shoulder area. When I picked them up, he had taken them in in the arms and shoulders too, and WAY too much. He tried to fix them, but they do not fit now. He refunded my tailoring fee, but he refused to refund the cost of my now ruined shirts. Beware. read more

Fast turnaround, clean professional work, affordable pricing. Had to get a chiffon bridesmaid dress hemmed and they did a great job :)

Quick turnaround for a good price. I just needed a simple hem on a bridesmaid dress and it was done within 2 days!!

Yong's Tailor offers great service, price, and turnaround time! They're my go to tailor in Dallas. Highly recommend.

10/10 service, took my dress in to get taken in and he was able to get it done within my time frame and it fits perfect!

Ruined my bridesmaid dress. It no longer fits for the wedding I have in a week and he said he couldn't even attempt to fix it in the next 5 days. The hem is uneven. He added seams where there wasn't seams before. The fabric gathers weirdly. Additionally, when he brought out my dress I tried it on and came out. I proceeded to stand there in my dress for 20 minutes before he came back out to help me. read more

Mr. Yong is a consummate gentleman. He is Old School. I appreciate his skills. He was reasonable and quite fast. I have been back with multiple pieces and will continue to work with him. His services match anyone I had back in Los Angeles. read more

Quickly was able to take in and alter a formal dress for a black tie wedding. It turned out perfect.

Did a fantastic job here for my pants and super cheap. They were efficient with fantastic results.

Everytime except this one I have been satisfied with Yong's service. He charged me $97.43 to shorten the sleeves on my blazer. Frankly, this was too much. And because he chose to shorten it by moving the entire sleeve instead of simply altering it at the wrist, the sleeve became too tight for my arms. $97.43...and I still could not wear my blazer. The alterations cost more than the jacket! Disappointed for sure read more

Mr. Yong is the most unassuming but amazing tailor. I'm on the short side, and I have disproportionately thicker legs for my height. So, I primarily need a tailor to get pants hemmed and tapered. I tried at least 4-5 other local tailors several times, including the wildly popular one on Mockingbird. However, I have stuck with Mr. Yong exclusively for the last few years because he's so much better. On top of my usual pants stuff, I once bought a very thick peacoat shortly before a winter trip to Montreal. The sleeves were a tad long for my short arms. I wasn't even sure something so thick and multilayered like the sleeves and cuffs could really be tailored, let alone with only two days before leaving. I took it to Mr. Yong to see. He didn't bat an eye, and he shortened the coat sleeves absolutely perfectly on short notice--he turned around my work in about a day and a half without question. -His workmanship is top notch. -He will never ruin anything with over aggressive tailoring. -He is fast! -I honestly think his prices are way below what they should be. -He is the freakin' sweetest man. He legitimately seems happy to have you come in. read more

I came in Friday evening to get my pants tailored for an event on Sunday. I let Mr. Yong know I needed them by today, Saturday, and he said ok. Saturday comes and I've had a lot of errands, time passed me and I didn't realize this location closes early on Saturdays. I called anyways, 30 mins after the closing time and Mrs. Yong answers. She let me know that they have two locations, and that if I can make it at a certain time I'll be able to pick up my pants. Mr. Yong brought my pants to the other location, Sun's Tailor in North Dallas, and I was able to get my pants. I'm very thankful they accommodated me. Highly recommend both locations and not to mention, my pants were tailored to perfection. Thank you both. read more

best. tailor. ever. yong is super cute and him and his wife are the kindest people. they do phenomenal work and are super quick read more

I've come here twice for alterations and have been extremely happy each time with the price and speed!

As a short fat guy I always need alterations. Mister Yong has constantly done a 5 star job over the last 15 years. I can't thank him enough!

I've taken many dresses, pants and pieces in for alteration and everything is always quick and greatly tailored! This is my go to spot anytime I need anything adjusted. read more

Once upon a time long, long ago I purchased a black suit for the purpose of interviewing. I loved the suit pants so, SO much that I devoted myself to dry cleaning them regualrly so that I can wear them, yet keep them matching the jacket in case I should need to wear it. Calling these my favorite pants is an understatement. They fit like gloves with minimal stretch so that they don't lose thier shape during the day and comfortable. Well, I lost 30 pounds and they no longer fit. Unwilling to toss them they sat in my closet for a few months until I thought of having them tailored. A couple of coworkers recommended this place and I am so glad that I had them tailored. They fit amazingly again. You go in and put your item on and they pin it while you're wearing it. I think the pickup times on clothes vary based on when you need it but I wasn't in a huge rush (because I'm not Russian) so I picked six days out. I had them taken in all around and the whole job cost $26. I say more than worth it but honestly not sure what tailoring usually costs. Service is friendly and speedy and will be keeping them in mind for future tailoring needs. read more

Yong's Tailor - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Mr.Yong is the kindest man I've ever met. He has altered my pants with a broken zipper, hemmed another pair of pants. And recently ,he altered a bridesmaids dress for me perfectly! read more

Do not go here. Went to get my straps on my dress altered. They completely butchered my $400 dress. They used a completely wrong thread color and it was sloppily done. DO NOT GO HERE. This looked like a 5 year old did it. So upset. read more

Yong's Tailor - Do not go here. They completely butchered my $400 dress. They used a completely wrong thread color and it was sloppily done. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have been coming here for years and have mostly been pleased with the quality of the alterations. However, there have been a couple times when button down shirts were taken in far more than had been pinned during the fitting. Even so, I continued to come back, because, while the shirts were a bit snug, they were wearable, and this location is very convenient for me. Recently, I took a new shirt to be altered, and it was taken in so much that the buttons pulled and separated while I just stood with my arms at my side. The shirt ($90 and never worn) is ruined. I asked Mr. Yong to compensate me for the cost of the shirt and he refused. He then said that it was altered the way I wanted it. I told him this was obviously not the case because I would never let him pin it this tightly. After some haggling, he finally agreed to refund the $17.32 I'd paid for the alteration. Given the inconsistent quality and refusal to compensate me for a ruined shirt, I will not be returning. read more

I asked yong to make a custom shirt and expected it to be in the ball park of 100-200 max. I had one the exact one made for $80 elsewhere for reference. It was a week late (he lost it) and when I came to pay for it the following week he charged me $378. Crazy up-charge especially for being a week late. It's fairly hard to express this to him because his English is not the best but I felt ripped off. He did not do anything about it he just said sorry that's the price. I never write yelp reviews but don't want this to happen to anyone else. read more

Great price for area, quick, and trusty as I have taken dozens of items here over the past year. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately I must give this bad review although Mr. Yong seems nice he is not a professional at what he does to have his own business. On one occasion I took a dress that needed the straps shortened. After wearing it twice one of the straps became unsewn. Had to return to have it resewn. A few days ago I took another dress to be shortened and to shorten the straps. I got home and noticed one of the straps had been sewn on wrong so I had to go back for him to correct his mistake. When I went to pick up the dress Mr. Yong said I still owed him for fixing the strap. He said he had previously only shortened the length of the dress. I said, "No, you fixed the straps too and you left one of the straps wrong". He didn't even remember his own work. I will not be going back to him. There are plenty of other options. read more

Mr. Yong is an honest, hard working man who does great work at an affordable price. I've been twice and both times have been surprised by 1) the quality of the work, and 2) the low price. I will only go to Yong's Tailor for all of my tailoring needs! read more

Lee with Yong's Tailor is the best dressed Tailor I've ever seen! Being right across the street from me, I thought I would patronize a local business and take previous positive reviews of this place into action. Once I entered, the small and very tidy tailor shop, I was instantly greeted by Lee who was more than helpful. But what really struck me was how patient he was. I even had a hasty request to have my clothes altered within a day and he didn't even hesitate to accept the challenge. The clothes were altered in a way I didn't expect, but that's not to say it wasn't done correctly - especially with the quick turn around. Instead of cutting the remaining fabric and re-hemming, he just folded it up nicely and sewed the hem. The price was fair and definitely not more what I anticipated. Me thinks this is my go-to tailor. read more

Not too much to say about this place. Came to get some pants hemmed ($7) and had prompt, friendly service. Given Heli's review I made sure to ask for the price up front and nothing seemed particularly out of the ordinary. Convenient location, convenient hours. Parking is kind of weird, but usually pretty open and easy to stop in and drop your stuff off. Probably my shortest review ever, but it was a great experience with a reasonable price. read more

I truly think you have to try very hard to be this bad. I took 8 items to get hemmed and the cost was $175 (all skinny jeans and one leather jacket). As another reviewer recommended, I asked for the prices upfront. He quoted $7 to shorten the length of pants, $13 if you want him keep the original hem, $19 if you want pants shortened and tapered in(I have skinny ankles and calves so I need this done). It was about $20 to shorten the sleeves on the jacket. The owner is a really cute, quiet, older man who doesn't really speak English. I would explain to him what I wanted done to each item and he wouldn't really respond with any words except "yah." I really didn't think much of it since the store window said he had 25 years of experience. I figured he was annoyed I was instructing "an expert" how to save a seam, blah blah blah, etc. He suggested I wait a week to pick up the clothes. I came in to get the stuff and was shocked that someone who boasts of having over 25 years experience would let clothing leave his shop like this. Uneven sewing, one leg shorter than another, mismatched seams, etc. Really poor workmanship and sloppy. One of the jeans had one leg with a sewn on original hem and the other leg was just folded and sewn shorter. When I pointed out all the problems, he acted like he couldn't see them. We kept going back and forth and I kept explaining over and over to no avail. It reminded me of being 17 again, going to the cheap nail salon and trying to convince the technician you don't want "sparkle nail for five dola mo." Lol. Regardless he said he would fix them but I don't have faith in his abilities. Also, he didn't refund me for being charged for work he didn't do (e.g., keeping the original hem on jeans). After I got home, I found problems with other pieces as well. I will wait to see how he "repairs" the other items before I have him fix these. The only positive thing (reason for 2 stars) I can say is that he seems to know how to taper pants very well. I would highly recommend to everyone that you find a different place to go. Just refer to the pics of the stuff I took home. Unfortunately, I don't have pics of the stuff I gave back to him to fix-those were the worst ones. UPDATE: I went to pick up the items he "fixed". Do not bring you clothes here. Period. read more

Ruined a tuxedo that I was wearing to an event & charged me well over $100 to do it. I was supposed to have other items/ aspects altered and they weren't touched. When I went back they insisted the work was done and/or we didn't discuss doing the work. Really disappointed. I wouldn't take clothing you care about. Go to Unique Tailor on Mockingbird - they have been doing my stuff for years and I don't know why I strayed. read more

I'm not someone that often gets get stuff tailored, but when I need to, I go to Yong's! He's very professional and his shop is open at convenient hours. The first time I came, I had a dress that I need to loosen up and add a skirt slit to the back. Yong deftly figured out how much to take out from the back what appropriate length the slit needed to be. He's extremely customer centric and asks you when you need it to be done. I had some time, but he still finished it within a couple days. The dress was still a bit tight when I came to try it on - but no problem, he remeasured it and the next time I came to pick it up it was perfect. Yong has great customer service and charges reasonable prices. You won't go wrong taking your clothes to get tailored here! read more

I've used this tailor for a few years now and they have done great job until recently. I brought in an expensive pair of pants to get the legs hemmed. To make it easy I typically drop off my items while picking up others. In this case I had picked up 3 items and dropped off 1 pair of dress pants. During this process they did not file my pants under the proper ticket and lost my brand new pants. Their excuse is that they couldn't find a ticket. I contacted them with exact details of drop off date, pick up date, item description, and they are still missing. After a few phone calls with the owners they have no plans on replacing my pants, so I would not recommend business here. read more

I asked for 2 embroidered name tags for a uniform. Dropped the shirts off on a Wednesday and was told it would be $20 and be ready next week. I explained I needed them as soon as possible as they were 2 out of my 3 uniforms so I would not have extra uniforms ready. I called Monday and was told they weren't ready. I called Wednesday still wasn't ready. Saturday it was ready. Took them about a week and a half to make 2 embroidered name tags and stitch them on. The name tags were a different font and significantly larger than the examples I showed them. And I was charged $54. I didn't even argue because maybe I misunderstood the pricing. I've paid $30 for 3 embroidered name tag to be made and stitched on. I would have gone somewhere else if they told me it would take 10 days and be $54 for these 2. I'm sure their actual tailoring service is great but don't get name tags made here lmao I feel robbed but oh well read more

I really wanted to like the nice old man but he ruined so many items. Pant legs were hemmed very crooked and at different lengths. Simple stitching was a disaster. He flat out forgot to do half of my order. After several results like this we have no choice but to go elsewhere. read more

Mr. Yong tailored my suit exceptionally well and for an affordable price. I will be back with more suits and clothes in the future. Highly recommend, and I usually don't leave reviews! read more

Amazing job! I'm blown away at the Mastery of detail. Now I want to to take all my clothe in.

Affordable, consistent, and timely alterations! I've been coming here for 3 years and am always happy with the results.

I had a great experience here. I came in on a Thursday night right before closing to get a very last minute alteration to a bridesmaid dress and they completed it by the next afternoon. The work was seamless, so to speak. You couldn't even tell that any alteration had been made. This will be my place for alteration from now on. read more

Coming from New York City I was nervous about finding a tailor that was great and not crazy expensive (tailors are more expensive in Dallas than NYC because there are fewer). I had an AMAZING experience here. This man is kind, accurate, detailed and on time! My clothes were ready exactly when he said he would be and they all looked great/fit perfectly. Definitely coming back. Thanks! read more

(This is a wedding dress alteration review). I went to Mr Yong for a basic hem on my BHLDN wedding dress, which was too long and needed to be hemmed. I also wanted to either bustle or hem the train. The alteration was well done and completed within 1 week. I will update my review if I have any issues come wedding day. Mr. Yong quoted a price that was 50% lower than the more visible and mainstream bridal gown tailors in Dallas. The price he charged me was then nearly 50% lower than what he initially quoted. I didn't have to ask for a lower price. I would have given 5 stars if Mr Yong was able to bustle the dress, but he said that the fabric type would look strange with a bustle (it's a sheer muslin). It sounded difficult for Mr Yong so I didn't want to risk any issues. I appreciated his honestly though. Other tailors (Margot's and Martha's) could do bustles but they were out of my budget. OVERALL: great tailor for a bride on a budget. Easy and kind to work with. Very pleasant shop. read more

I found this tailor on help and I really hoped for the best after reading the reviews and that's what I got. I had a maxi dress shortened (which is no big deal at all) but he knew where it needed to fall and I barely had to tell him anything. I also got a dress completely taken in basically to fit me (my fault buying a dress that was too big). Anyway, I went to him and put on the dress and told him I wanted it to completely fit me on top but leave the bottom skirt alone. Not only did he understand what I meant he even gave suggestions about how much it needed to go in in certain places. I have him a week to finish because I wasn't in any rush and the dress came out perfect! I probably had 5-6 inches of fabric removed from the top of the dress so it was a pretty big job and both things only cost me about $30. I'm pretty happy to have found a tailor so close to where I live. read more
