Never had anything but good results using this shop, excellent workmanship, additionally the atmosphere is always pleasant and welcoming. Having frequented this business over a period of years, I have been impressed with the quality of the employees which despite the normal turnover are consistently personable as well as competent, making you feel valued and well cared for even if the owner is out of the shop. I appreciate that staff phones you when items are completed. The variety of items that are worked on is astonishing, from men's suits to wedding dresses with complicated structure and beading and everything in between. They even do custom men's suits and shirts, with beautiful fabric choices that do not cost an arm and a leg. I recommend The Tailored Fit frequently to friends and acquaintances.

and quot;A wedding day disaster.and quot;
My husband and I were married back home in Savannah, Georgia. I moved
up here, however, and took my wedding gown to The Tailored Fit for the
necessary alterations (take it in at the waist and hem it). She gave us
an estimate of $400. I arrived for my second fitting and was horrified
when I discovered my wedding gown hem had been cut and hemmed FOUR
INCHES TOO SHORT! I took photos of it while I was in the dressing room
and wish I could upload them for everyone to see. There was a minor one
inch hem of fabric left, so there was no way of correcting it easily.
I fell apart because the wedding was in a month and this was my dream
dress. Instead of handling it professionally by apologizing and
actually showing me some compassion when I was clearly devastated, the
owner chose to convince me that I was pulling the gown too high
underneath my arms, when it was designed to wear it that way. She
insisted on pulling the bust part down low enough so the hem didn't to
look too short in the front and actually tried to convince me it looked
good with the structured bust area well below where my natural bust is.
I looked at her, with her one of assistants there, and said, and quot;Are you serious? You think
I'll look good like this when I lift my arms over my head to throw my bouquet?and quot;
I raised my arms to mimic the motion and my breasts came completely out of the top
of the dress and sat there like they were sitting on a shelf. She had nothing to say.
Iwas extremely upset, and yet again, instead of having the integrity to
take responsibility for it, she blamed her assistant and told me she'd
and quot;somehow fix itand quot;. To add insult to injury, she handed us a final bill for
$800 when we picked up the gown! When I asked why she doubled it, she
had the audacity to say, and quot;Well, it took a lot of work to deconstruct the
dress enough to fix the short hem.and quot; I was stunned over double the price,, and so
broken-hearted because the dress was still noticeably short and it
definitely affected how I felt that day. There's nothing worse than
finding the perfect dress for you and someone ruining it and making you feel more than a
little self-conscious on your own wedding day. It was a and quot;high-waterand quot;
dress by the time she got finished with it.
I paid her and left because I was under so much stress trying to finish up all the wedding
details in Georgia and I just couldn't deal with it. Our photographer's
had to spend over many, many hours editing all the wedding photos, so
you couldn't tell my gown was too short. Our wedding story was chosen
for a national publication in a popular wedding magazine, but I refused
to acknowledge The Tailored Fit business as a contribution to our day.
It would have been incredible marketing for the business to use for
years.
I would never send anyone to this shop, because I also
saw other work she was doing on a military officer's jacket and the
coat's sleeve and arm seams looked terrible. She states she's and quot;coutureand quot;
trained, but I saw nothing to prove that to me. If you don't have the
ability to successfully alter highly structured garments, you shouldn't
be in the business.

Margaret put together a high end Halloween Steam P*** Costume for my wife and our Disney trip. Superb workmanship and very reasonable price. A+++
She tailored a leather bustier and made a custom split skirt to bring it all together. My wife is very happy.

Overall my experience was great! When I went into the shop, the girl that helped me was incredibly attentive and made sure that I was satisfied with the fit of the intended alterations. I was told the expected price before the alterations were made, so there were no surprises. The work was completed on time and when I went to pick up the items, I didn't have the time to try on the pieces, but the owner assured me that if I didn't like anything to simply bring it back and they would fix it. When I tried on the clothes at home, they all fit perfectly! The craftsmanship was phenomenal on all the work that was completed, but I was especially impressed by the blazer and the dress. I spent the most the blazer ($40 to put in front darts and take in the sides), $40 to overhaul the dress, $15 to hem the pants with cuffs, and $5 for the small shirt fix. Though a bit on the pricey side, you get what you pay for and the ladies at the Tailored Fit do incredible work, so I would definitely go back again. They have my full confidence in the work that they do!
