I bought my wedding dress off the rack so it needed a lot of alterations, which Marva handled wonderfully! I was concerned at first that the price was high but the quality of work is great! Marva is calm, professional, and made all the necessary changes I was looking for. The reception team is also very lovely and helpful. Would recommend!

Marva and the entire team at The Alteration Specialists went above and beyond to ensure my wedding dress fit perfectly! I came to them in a panic a month before my wedding because my gown came in super late and I was dissatisfied with the service at the bridal salon where I purchased my gown. Marva took my extremely complicated (Suzanne Neville) custom-order gown and brought the waist up, shortened the straps, added bra padding, altered the hemline, and created a perfect bustle! She even sewed in a hand-embroidered, sentimental patch of “something blue” into my gown at no extra cost. I’ve already recommended Alteration Specialists to all my friends and family with upcoming weddings and events. My fiancé came to get his tux shirt altered here too. In addition to the high quality of the alternations themselves, the front desk team is super organized and sends you calendar invites for each fitting. Pricing was a few hundred dollars cheaper than the bridal salon where I bought my dress too! All-in-all an incredible, seamless experience that made the weeks leading up to my wedding so much less stressful. Thank you so much, Marva and team!!

I’m in a wedding in a couple of weeks, and I discovered this place bc they did the alterations for the bride’s gorgeous gown and I tagged along for a fitting. After one appointment with Marva, I knew I had to come back to see Marva to alter my bridesmaids dress. I bought it 2 sizes too big out of paranoia, and Marva had no problem getting the dress to look incredible and snatched. Only one fitting needed and she got it right. She’s a real professional and all of the staff in the office is very friendly and courteous. I won’t hesitate to come back for my next alteration needs. Thank you Marva!

I brought my wedding dress here to be altered because the store I originally got the dress from went out of business due to covid. I was nervous about going else where, but Marva put me at ease the first time I spoke to her. She was very patient and accommodated all my requests, and she is very talented. She had great ideas on how to bustle my dress and even created it so that I will have several options. I will definitely recommend Marva any day. She is amazing!!!

I am currently in the middle of getting my wedding dress altered by Marva and it has been the best experience so far! Marvas attention to detail and calm demeanor has made this stressful experience of getting married and having a too big dress so easy and comforting! I will be coming back to her with all my alternation needs in the future. I cant wait to see my final fitted dress and have so much confidence that it will be perfect! Thank you Marva!

Alteration specialist did a beautiful job on our wedding dress and suit, very fast turnaround at an excellent price. The shop itself is very comfortable with extra large dressing rooms.

5+ stars to Marva (alterationist) and Courtney (front desk). Ive never had anything altered so you can imagine my apprehension and anxiety for getting my wedding dressed altered -- during COVID no less! I dont typically write long reviews unless I feel its truly worth the time. If you want the abridge version: Marva has the patience of an angel and the craftsmanship of a magician!Marva helped reconstruct my wedding dress to literally fit me perfectly. She was so pleasant to work with; professional, knowledgeable, and her work is flawless and the price is reasonable for NYC. Most importantly, she makes sure youre 100% happy and shes 100% happy with the results before you step out that door with your garment.To my favorite alteration specialist, Marva, if youre reading this THANK YOU for working with me and for turning my 5x too big wedding dress into perfection. If I ever need to get anything altered again, you can bet I will be back and I know exactly who I will request. :)

If you need your dress altered ask for Marva Edmund. She helped fix my wedding dress to literally fit me perfectly. She was professional, very pleasant and her work is flawless. She put my needs first overall which I appreciated because most places only see you as a price tag. If I ever get married again Id definitely come to her again for my alterations ☺️

Marva is AMAZING!!!!! I cannot say WOW and THANK YOU enough! I had a full lace backed wedding dress that needed to be altered due to some Covid weight gain and now being pregnant. I thought all hope was lost, but came across Alteration Specialists and Marva and she promised they could tailor it so I could still wear the dress my dreams -- and they did! Marva found a matching lace and hand sewed additional pieces in the back so that it matched seamlessly and added small additional panels on the side to accommodate by growing belly. I couldnt be happier and more impressed with Marva and Alteration Specialists. She was a joy to work with and calmed any fears I had that the dress wouldnt fit and that it would be ready in the months time! For all the work done, the cost was very reasonable too. Five Stars all the way.

Marva did an unbelievable job transforming a complicated lace dress with large puff sleeves to a racer back with small off the shoulder puffs. She went above and beyond your typical alteration needs. Highly recommend!

Theres nothing better than a confident tailor!Prior to going to Alteration Specialists, two different establishments denied tapering my pair of designer cargo pants because they said design was too intricate alter.I was very fortunate to discover Alteration Specialists because not only did they accept the task to alter my cargo pants but the tailor also displayed 100% confidence in his craftsmanship during the fitting which is something that I find truly valuable.My pants alteration came out amazing! I will be going to Alterations Specialists moving forward for all of my clothing.

Great Experience !! My specialist was Ms. Marva ! She was lovely. My event was less than a week away and Marva got he job done. I went to several places and I was not convinced the job could get done in such short notice. She worked fast and efficiently . Sweetest person not to mention. The details were amazing! I will definitely be back for my daughter sweet sixteen dress! We loved her work!!!

I just wanted to say thank you to Marva for the amazing work she did for my dream dress. She is an excellent seamstress! She was very professional, so artistic in her craft and pays attention to details. Overall, she is exceedingly talented and her work exemplified her artistic gift. I would definitely recommend her!

Another amazing experience exactly like their downtown location! Im so glad that I found this place and that they have two locations where my work and home is in in-between them! My overall experience and the place itself was clean, organized, smooth, and very professional. The price is decent especially because theyre the best of the best. The tailors and the front desk lady know what theyre doing and allowed my dress to be done for rush the following day! Im definitely coming back here again for my next alterations!

I had the most wonderful experience with Marva at the Upper East Side location. She tailored my wedding dress to perfection and added custom elements with extra fabric I purchased. I brought in pictures of what I was looking for, skeptical if someone could replicate it, and Marva made the vision come to life, PLUS some! Great work! Will certainly use again.

Ramiz, the taylor, is always very helpful. He gives great advice and is able to accommodate even the most special requests. His work is top quality, and if the fit is not perfect after the first alteration it is always possible to make adjustments until the desired result is achieved. Have had multiple suits altered as well as a top coat and sweaters.

Thank you so much for your business and quality of work!! My specialist was Marva ! Before I was nervous about my wedding dress and I had only 2 weeks until my big day. MarvaMade my vision comeTrue with the sizing and the tedious details I requested. She was very attentive and responsive ! My next big event Marva is my goto! Hands down=] Thank you again !

Marva has been a pleasure to work with! She is extremely detailed, thorough, and careful with her work.

I had my wedding dress altered here and the wedding jumpsuit I was changing into for dancing. My dress was very complex and very detailed and I knew it would not be an easy job for any alterations professional. I could not have made a better decision than going with Alterations Specialist upper eastside for the job. The dress fit me like a glove and hugged my body in all the right places. I was worried doing work on it would effect the overall look and intricacy of the dress but it was perfect and even more beautiful than I expected. As most women feel, trusting someone with your wedding dress is nerve wrecking. I was on expert hands. Thank you so much for helping to make me look gorgeous on my big day.

Ornela was so amazing. She made my life before the wedding so much easier. She simply delivered accurately and timely, she was dedicated and very thorough. I bought a sample dress with a lot of beading. She fixed everything perfectly, double checked and cut all the threads right before I picked it up before the wedding. She gave the best suggestion of tools to use to help get dressed and undressed. It seems to be slightly pricey if you compare them with some other places, but honestly it is totally worth the money in my opinion. Ive heard so many horror stories about how dress fitting could go wrong from people around me, and with Alteration Specialists, I didnt have to worry at all and completely trusted their amazing work.

If you have patience and time to spend with multiple fittings I would recommend their services 10/10. I brought in a vintage gown with bias cut geometric panels to be taken down 3 sizes...no easy task! The end result was perfection and I am happy with the results. My advice for tricky pieces: make an appointment with their specialty tailor, he is the one to go to initially for hard projects as he brings a very close eye and attention to detail!

This is by far the best tailoring experience. I am happy to report that the dresses were altered perfectly and look like they were custom-made for me. Definitely recommend this location!

They are true alterations specialists. I needed to have functioning buttonholes on my blazer, and it was done on time, and the quality of the work was superb. Ill definitely use their service again.

This is one of those services that you just never thought existed. Once you use them, you will never be able to get something tailored elsewhere. Took a tough shoulder job on an older suit, and it was tailored perfectly. Not an easy job either, 2 other tailors said it wasnt possible. From the experience, to the service, this company is really the gold standard in tailoring. So happy that they are near my home and work as well. My wife is going to try the home office service, she is super excited about that.

Best place ever. From one day to the next. Clothes came out perfect. Couldnt ask for anything better. Thanks for the super fast service and perfection. They know what theyre doing. The price is up there, but its wort it because you know it will be done right. :) Definitely going there from now on.

These guys are awesome. Super professional, engaged and efficient. I had an emergency with a button that came off on my suit before a dinner. Called them up and they said come on in and fixed it in minutes. Not a big alteration, but you can tell whether a business is with it or not within seconds of walking in...these guys run a great business and care about helping people.

I used Alteration Specialists Union Square location previously and had an awesome experience. I was thrilled to discover this uptown location that was way more convenient for me! Had a great experience from scheduling my appointment, meeting with the tailor, and receiving my garment in a seriously impressively short timeframe. Cant say enough about the work Alteration Specialists does. The customer service, quality (and speed!) of work, and the price point-- all in all, cant be beat.

Ive had several dresses altered here. This place has extremely talented tailors. The work product is excellent. I needed some last minute alterations for an event and Alteration Specialists uptown location was able to turn around the alterations successfully. Very happy with the experience and results. Best tailors in New York City!

The team worked magic on the my vintage 1973 leather bomber. I couldnt even tell that alterations were done. That is the sign of a good tailor! Highly recommend. Experience was night and day better than typical alteration shops.

This place is awesome!! Very pricey but you get what you pay for. Fanny did my dress and shes amazing, please ask for her she did such a great job on my dress! It was a long ball gown with difficult panelling and she managed to take it down two sizes and still make it look good (and not distorted), and I didnt trust a normal dry cleaner to do it. Thank you Fanny!

The cuffs of my Canada Goose jacket were ruined by a subpar trailer and alteration specialists came to my rescue. They went to the garment district and replaced the cuffs perfectly and quickly so I didn’t freeze my a** off without my warmest jacket. Lol Great work I plan on coming back with more prices.

My favorite tailors - dont trust anyone but them to tailor my more expensive pieces. I bring all of my dresses for weddings there - truly amazing experience and worth every dollar!

I had a few suits and jackets altered here and have been thrilled with the experience. I’ve used their 5th avenue location a few times and have consistently had a great experience. When they added a second location that was closer to my apartment, I was pleased to get the added convenience. I highly recommend both, Alteration Specialists, downtown and uptown locations for any tailoring or alteration work. They are the best tailors in Manhattan.

Best tailors in NYC! Can do anything. They are very reasonably priced. Basically same price as the local dry cleaners but so MUCH better.

I used their downtown location and was very happy. I was so happy to learn they had an uptown location (so much closer to my apartment). I worked with Nadine at the uptown location, and she did an excellent job altering my dresses. I would absolutely recommend Alteration Specialists.

Ive been going to the downtown location of Alteration Specialists for awhile now. All the tailors there have the most experience of any other tailor in the city. Their costumer service is also amazing! I recently tried their new location since its closer to my apartment and was equally happy with the results. If you need tailoring done, go to Alteration Specialists of NY! Highly recommended!

I live a couple blocks away and found them on Yelp (after originally going to their downtown location). Had a great experience. I got a leather jacket altered and it was tailored to perfection. Would highly recommend. They lived up to their 5 star reputation.

Best alternations in NYC! I booked an appointment just a few days in advance and I came in with a cocktail dress that needed to be shortened within two weeks for a party.I was scared because it was so last minute and other tailoring places Ive been to usually dont accommodate for rushed alterations. But Nigel, the manager, promised me that his tailors would have it done in time.I was really happy when I got a phone call telling me that my dress was ready to be picked up - it was earlier than I expected.In terms of atmosphere, everyone there is really friendly and willing to give you exactly what you want. I recommend coming here for any alterations you need.

My favorite tailor in NYC. I trust them with my most high end garments that I would never go to a dry cleaner for. They are truly amazing and would recommend to anyone! They will also deliver to your home if you need.

Beautiful and open space - very clean. The staff was very friendly and attentive and got what I needed done very quickly. I was surprised since I thought I had a difficult task for them, but everything was done perfectly!

I had a great experience here at Alteration Specialists of NY uptown location. I worked with Madison and she was so sweet and kind. The alteration quality was amazing. Turn-around was quick and impressive. Highly recommend these tailors.

I brought in a new suit for altering. They hemmed the pants which was fine. The work on the suit coat was disappointing. Straight away I pointed out the buttons not being lined up properly with the button hole stitching. I also asked for stacked, kissing buttons. Some buttons stacked and others did not. They took the suit coat back (as I waited) to fix it. It came back the same. To me, they don’t care about the work they put out.I took the suit coat to another tailor.I will not be giving them future business.

I was introduced to this company via Yelp (highest rated tailors in NYC at 5 stars). Had an excellent experience at the 5th avenue location. So, I was very excited when they opened an uptown location. Same high quality and excellent customer service. Will be returning.

I had a great experience at Alteration Specialists! Very satisfied with the speed and quality with which my alterations were completed. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

This is the nicest alteration shop out there. It is beautiful inside and they have the best staff around. Highly recommend.

I cant say enough about the tailors at Alteration Specialists! They do a perfect job every time. This is the place to go if youre in and around the city and need a reliable tailor!

Great experience! Ornella was super helpful! recommended!

Best tailors. I was using downtown location for a long time. But the uptown is the biggest GEM. This space is amazing and super high end.

Highly professional and they do outstanding work. I cant imagine going anywhere else. I recommend Alteration Specialists to anyone in need of a great tailor in the city!

I was really excited when Alteration Specialists added a second location across the street from my office. I tried their downtown location and was impressed. My experience has been stellar. Highly recommended.

I always get my clothing altered at Alteration Specialists. They are the only people I trust!

Tried their downtown location and was similarly happy with the results here. Probably the nicest alteration place to which Ive been.

Highly recommended. Ive been to their 5th avenue location a few times and was thrilled with the results. Was very happy with this experience, especially given how close it is to my apartment. Best tailors in New York City.

Got a bridesmaid dress from Wedding Library altered. Alteration Specialists delivered exceptional results. Very happy.

I️ have been to both of their locations and can safely say that this company offers the best tailoring services in NYC. I️ bring all of my “difficult” pieces here and they alter them to perfection!

Best tailoring company out there. We haver worked with both downtown and uptown. They are both amazing!

Was happy with my experience at their downtown location and tried their uptown location recently. Was thrilled with my experience and the quality of the alterations.

Amazing work! I highly recommend this location if your looking for great service for any alteration need.

I was referred here and was very happy with the tailoring work.

Great tailors for all of your alteration needs. I have used these tailors to alter high-end suits for clients and have been happy with the results each and every time.

Best alteration experience around. This place is changing the game and expectations in the space. Can do anything and work on all types of garments.

Nothing should be more simple for a tailor or seamstress than hemming a pair of khakis. Perhaps sewing a button... Take em to the seamstress at your local dry cleaner and, presto! Unfortunately, not so fast. How many times has my local hack screwed this up. Ok, so Im particular, very particular. But really, outside seam top of band to bottom of hem 40 is not that difficult an instruction to follow. I recently brought a dozen pairs of khakis of various shades and weights to Alteration Specialists. Half were new, half were redos. My only instruction beyond the above was to please do a good job--no uneven legs, please, and 40 means, well, 40. Ive tried most of them on and actually worn four of them (the only real way to try). The verdict: fantastic! So far, spot on! I will, for sure, be using them again. By the way, I was shocked by the price. Given the address and this is not your seamstress stuffed in a corner of you local dry cleaner setup I expected the price to be far higher. In fact I almost felt I was undercharged. Well done, everyone!!! BTW, I HAVE NOT BE ASKED OR SOLICITED OR KNOW THE OWNER OR RECEIVED SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR POSTING THIS! -Will

Best tailors in NYC. Ive used them so many times to alter suits for clients. Great experience and quality.

Terrible experience - in shortening the sleeves of a blazer, they altered it so that my arms could barely move (they made the armpit opening tiny, preventing any mobility). I had to wait around for them to try to fix it - and when I returned I spent 10 minutes trying to buzz at the entrance (and call) for someone to let me in. Only managed to get in when someone else left... wont return.

The tailors did an exceptional job altering my shirts. I would recommend their service to anyone in need of some alterations.

If youre looking for high quality alterations, then look no further.

I had been to alteration specialists downtown office and was told they just opened a new location. This location is right by my office so I brought them an expensive gown I needed tailored for a wedding and it came out perfectly. Highly recommend!

Had a similarly wonderful experience. Will definitely come back.

Best tailors in NYC. They made the impossible possible. Trust them with all of your expensive and delicate pieces.

Best alteration and tailoring company in NYC. Will definitely be returning.

Best tailors in New York City. Needed some suits altered and was very impressed with the work product, customer service and experience. Go-to tailors in New York City.

I would highly recommend the tailors at Alteration Specialists.

Excellent tailor shop, quick and quality service.

Very satisfied with my experience here.

Great experience with Alreration Specialists.

Nothing but great things to say, good quality alterations.

The best.

Wonderful staff and experience.

Best tailors in NYC.

Best tailors in Manhattan.

Extremely happy with the service.

Great experience here.

Amazing.

Amazing.
