REVIEWS OF Sue's Custom Dressmaking & Tailor Shop IN Delaware

Kim Sheppard

Sue's is my go to for all tailoring. Peter does a fabulous job whether it is for a hem, a repair or a restructure.They are very friendly and do their absolute best to ensure the job is done right the first time. If by rare chance it is not, they are always willing to fix it correctly in a timely manner. Also noteworthy is that Sue's saves all my cashmere by seamlessly stitching any small tear so they are unnoticed as I continue to weary my favorite pieces. I would recommend without hesitation this gem in Chestnut Hill.

Drew Hohenwarter

Tailored my suit and shirt for my wedding. They were great. 10/10

Dina Mohamed

She was a great. Every single time I visited to check on my dress, I didn't have to wait for long. I got my dress the day that they said it would be ready and it was great.

Lindsay Sock

I have nothing but great things to say about this alterations /dress shop!! The man knows what he is doing. I've been here multiple times for alterations done on a pair of white pants as well as a white bodysuit. The bodysuit was especially difficult because of the Lycra fabric but he worked magic and made it fit like a glove!!!! I have received so many compliments on my pants too!! Great price and EXCELLENT workmanship. I wouldn't trust anyone else. I will be coming back next for my wedding dress A++++

A. Amenra

I needed a wool and fur coat I have taken in so that it could fit for the winter. I gave them 4 weeks to do the job and paid up front. I went to pick it up and the coat was not even touched! I was mad to try it on, and was told that it was taken in, when it clearly was not. When I called them out on it the male automaticaly said no refund, threw my recipt down, muttered something in his native language (which i do not speak) and walked away. This went on for 10 minutes, the entire time of it the male was nasty, rude, and made it so i will never take anything, will never recomend, and steer people clear of them. It is a shame because the woman tried to be nice, and did offer part of my money back, but the comeplet experience was not worth anyone else going there. Now it is cold, my coat is not done, and i am out of some of the money. The worst!

Harriet Dichter

Quality work by talented professionals. Peter has assisted me over several years now with tailoring both large and small. He has accommodated to unreasonable turn-around requests at my end as well!

Molly Graver

I have been going to Sue's for all of my alterations for the past 7 years. I cannot say enough about how wonderful they are! They are excellent at what they do and I would never go anywhere else! I have sent many friends there as well and they have all loved Sue's. They are warm and friendly. They tailored my sons first suit when he was 2.5 years old. They are very special people and amazing tailors.

I got my wedding dress altered at Sue's and they did an amazing job! Sue and Peter did everything I asked for and more. They are great to work with, extremely friendly and do exceptional work! I would recommend to anyone looking for quality skill and workmanship!

Julieanna Gubitosa

Before, I walked into Sue's, I was in tears in my car. I was a week away from the wedding I was a bridesmaid in and my dress was an absolute mess. The previous tailor did a horrible job and the back of my dress was puckering showing my bra and I as a bustier woman, I was falling out of the front. I went into the shop and within 5 minutes, he had the dress pinned and said he could fix it. He said a week timeline was completely doable. I went back a week later and put on the dress - it was absolutely perfect!! The back was no longer puckering and he fixed the front so I was not falling out of the dress. He also put in place two buttons on the strap that would hook into my bra so it wouldn't show. The price was reasonable and I HIGHLY recommend this tailor. Amazing work!

Marguerite Walters

Love this alteration shop! I trust them with all of my clothing, especially more expensive difficult pieces. He tailored my rehearsal dinner dress and it turned out perfect!!!

Connor Hammond

What a wonderful experience. He is incredibly talented and essentially rebuilt a tuxedo for me. it now fits like a glove. a sexy sexy glove. Great eye for details. This man will make you look good.

Sebastian Malter

Fast, very nice and price is ok! Highly recommended

Merrick Smith

Sue is the best tailor in Philadelphia period! I brought him a Brioni Tuxedo that was my father in Laws who was 300LB and 6'5 . I only way about 200lbs and am 2 inches short then him, but that did not stop Sue from fitting it perfect for my wedding. I have Sue many jackets and formal wear over the years and will continue to as long as we are lucky enough to have him Chestnut Hill!

Lilian Acom

This is the best alterations shop i have ever been to! Both Peter and his wife are super professional and friendly! I was a maid of honor at a friends wedding and my dress needed alterations a week before the wedding! Peter had me dress up and had one quick look at me and knew exactly what to do! The next day, i went for a fitting and it was perfect! When i say perfect, i mean perfect! On top of that i took my wedding gown for alterations as i will be celebrating my 10th year this year and he did it for freeeeee! What an amazing couple that does an outstanding and timely job! I would recommend them 110%! I guarantee you will not be disappointed! Lilian Wyndmoor, Pa

Caitlyn Margusity

Peter is a miracle worker! I wish I had a "before" picture to show how he transformed my bridesmaid dress. The style of the dress had an elastic band below the bust area/above the waist and the top was suppose to be flowy, however it was very big, baggy, and unflattering on me. I felt like I was in a bag. Peter was able to work magic on this dress because when I went back to try it on after the alterations were finished I was shocked! I wanted to cry and hug Peter because I absolutely loved how the dress fit and looked on me! I wasn't too thrilled with the dress when it first came in PRIOR to the alterations and because of Peter I love this dress and was very impressed with his work! I wish I was the first of the bridesmaids to get alterations done so I could have sent them all there because a couple of them were unable to have anything done to the top, not because there was anything different, but because the place they took it to said there was nothing that could be done. Obviously, with Peter anything can be done! I am very particular and a little OCD. I read reviews on multiple places and decided to give Sue's Custom Dressmaking and Tailor shop a try after reading a review that a customer placed on a different business's yelp page saying to go to Sue's. I'm so happy I did because the results were phenomenal! If you need alterations, I HIGHLY recommend going here! For the amount of work that needed to go into this dress the pricing was excellent, the turnover time was impressive (only 1 week!), and the results were priceless. Thank you again Peter!!!

Amazing survice

M Jewelers

Just got my blazers made from Sue ! Thanks perfect color! Great fit!

Nick Parker

I just got a custom made classic navy suit made by Peter and Sue in the historic Chesnut Hill area. These were made to my measurements thus the fit is excellent and quality that is hard to match. Peter has great craftsmanship and the suit fits like a glove. At first, the price may turn you off a bit if you are used to the department store pricing, but once you go custom you will not look back. I have no doubt that I made the right decision and am very excited to show it off at the event I will be attending. The whole process took about 2 months. I knew about the event ahead of time and because I knew this was an important function and needed to look my best, I decided to go the custom suit route as custom fit is all the rage nowadays. Peter and I chose the color and style I wanted and he took measurements. With a couple fittings in between, 2 months later came my suit! Absolutely spectacular!!

April Golden

Been coming here for years and they always do a great job with alterations! Just dropped off 5 dresses to get ready for the spring/summer days and vacay.. I’m sure it’ll be perfect when I pick them up, can’t wait to get them on!

John Yun

I've been going to this place occasionally for several years now. I first started with a few minor alterations such as pants to taper and hem, and I think he did a solid job on them all. Then, I started to bring some suits to this tailor and he was very helpful. First, he asks you to try on the suit, so it will probably be a good idea to bring along a shirt and maybe even a pair of dress shoes to get a better sense of how everything fits currently. There's a room where you can change. Then, he marks and pins down the areas that he will need to let out or take in as you stand in front of the mirror. The cool thing is he will give his suggestion on what he thinks would look good on you, but at the same time he asks you for your opinion as well. By the way, he seems to be well aware of both the trends and classic fashion. So he is not closed off to your suggestion if you want to follow what is trendy. He will then tell you how much all of these things will cost. And he will give you time to consider the price and the time that it will take to make the alterations. Overall, I've felt that I didn't have to be super knowledgeable in alterations to express what I wanted, which is great as well. I believe this place provides an excellent balance between affordablility and quality. The price that he asks for is reasonable and fair. But he does a really great job and wants to make sure everything is done really well. Especially if you live near the area, I would highly recommend you to check them out and try it out.

This review is long overdue, but I just had to get the word out about how amazing Peter is! I needed to find a good tailor that could take in the top of a Claire Pettibone "off the rack" dress I bought at Kleinfeld's. I also bought this beautiful lace fabric from a trip to Paris that I wanted made into a rehearsal dinner dress. That's right, Peter created this dress for me from scratch and it was absolutely PERFECT!! It could not have fit better....you will see in the photos I added. The same goes for my wedding dress. I highly recommend this shop for any alterations or custom dresses. I couldn't believe how easy it was to have my vision of a dress come to life and executed so flawlessly in just a couple of months. Peter did have to push back the date that the dresses would be ready, but I made sure to allow enough time for this because I knew what a big job it was. Peter, if you are reading this, thank you so much for all your hard work!! I'm so glad I took a chance on you through a google/yelp search. Please do not ever move or retire because I have plans to come back each and every time I have a special event coming up, and need a dress altered or created! You're the best!!

Young Ban

I go here to recut my suits. I am a bit of particular size so I need everything recut if I buy off the rack. Service is quick and reliable. I like my stuff really slim so he does a good job of making them modern. I often found other tailors making them look too bulky, but here they do a great job of following my guidelines. I have also brought in some of my old stuff along with a magazine cut out of what I want to look like and it takes them about a week to fix it up. I also like the fact that the guy who measures you also does the work as opposed to some shops. They tend to get busy during some parts of the season, so turnaround could take some time so plan ahead. But I don't mind waiting for quality. Their english is limited, but they seem to understand all the necessary terms so not really an issue for me.

Geoff Albert-Bolinski

The only place I go to have my clothes tailored or repaired. Simply the best.

Courtney H

They have done a wonderful job altering formal dresses for me, specifically 3 bridesmaids dresses in the last year. I moved to the area about a year ago and was very happy to find such a wonderful shop. I am very petite which makes alterations a little tricky, but Peter provides quality work & service which makes the process a true pleasure! Thank you!

Kate Suk

This is a great establishment. I've been coming here for the past six years. I've had my trousers, gowns, curtains, blazers hemmed and altered and I've never been disappointed! I know this place specializes in custom dresses and wedding gowns, I wish I had known this when I was getting married! Their prices are very reasonable, and they do everything to make sure you are completely satisfied! I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Cynthia Silber

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Mr. Peter Jung is an absolute master tailor. I have brought him older, very difficult garments to rework (as my figure has changed a bit over the past 10 years) along with very expensive new clothing that needs extensive alteration. His work is perfect, and I am VERY meticulous. I will never go anywhere else, and I trust him completely. His wife Sue is lovely as well, which makes the experience a pleasure. Can be a bit pricey (but my experience is that excellent tailoring always is), and the turnover time can be a couple of weeks, but if you have good clothing, and want a perfect fit with no evidence that you've had any tailoring work done, he is worth EVERY NICKEL. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Romaine Gibbs

Peter is a Master tailor in the city of Philadelphia. I have used him for over 5yrs! He is prompt, detailed, and a fashionist at its best. I LOVE EVERYTHING HE HAS DESIGNED. If you need a tailor think no more.

gary smith

This gentleman wanted to charge me $700 to make me a pair of slacks. I was supplying the material. How reasonable is that. The best tailors in the city dont charge that.

Charnita Walker

Peter is amazing! He made my wedding gown, and prior prom gowns...he is phenomenal! Hands down he is one of the best tailors in town!

jenny yi

The owner is an absolute expert at what he does. Prior to going to Sue's I noticed a lot of the reviews were of people who brought in suits and pants, but I'm so happy that I stopped by! I brought him 4 dresses to alter so far and have 2 more that I need to bring. I have also brought him a couple pair of jeans which he did a great job taking in the waist and shortening the length.

ShelleyAnn Greenberg

Whenever I have to have a bridesmaid dress adjusted, I always take it to Sue's Custom Tailor Shop. They are both very kind people and are meticulous in their work. They make sure the dress fits you like a glove. I highly recommend them if you need a dress tailored.

Colette Faust

I needed a bridesmaid's dress altered and Sue and Peter did an amazing job! They were so considerate of my timeline and made sure it was done with time to spare. Will definitely be returning next time I need something altered.

Matthew Moors

Took a suit and a tux here to be tailored. They both turned out great! I recommend this place to everyone! Great attention to detail! Great results!

yvonne thomas

Sue Dressmaking makes my son's a custom suit jacket every year for a formal Employees' Appreciation Event. He made a total of 3 custom jackets and the jackets are always one of a kind. No one will ever have the same jacket. Everyone loves his jackets and he gets endless complements. My husband also love the jackets and my husband will start get his suit jackets made by Sue for our next event like my son. Also, if you need your favorite dress, suit jacket, or pants taken in because it's too big, Sue also does a great job making you favorite clothes fit perfect again including leather clothing. Do not throw or give you favorite clothes away. Wear them again. Thank to Sue's Custom Dressmaking.

August Kim

One of my good friends told me about this store because I wanted a custom made suit. I went in and had an idea about how I wanted my suit to look like. Peter was very friendly towards me and so was his wife. He was also helpful with helping me pick out the fabric and what would look good on me. The fitting day went by smooth and I needed this suit quickly since I was going to be attending an event. He finished it by the time I needed it and the suit came out perfectly. I would recommend this store to anyone who would want custom clothing made!

Cassie Foley

Thank you so much Sue's Tailor Shop!! I'm a cheerleader for the Philadelphian Flyers and needed a uniform altering with only 4 days notice, they did an amazing job & for a reasonable rate! Highly recommend. Thank you again!!

Jordan J

I just cannot express my level of satisfaction enough of Sue's Custom Dressmaking. If you have a pair of old jeans you've been neglecting for awhile, go to Sue's to get it tailored. That will become your favorite pair of jeans. You won't regret it. Good professional service. Will come back for more.

Abby Sode

Sue's tailor dress shop is the best alteration I've been too so far. The staff is really pleasant and are really good at their Job. Before altering they ask if you're okay with it their job. I recommend everyone to visit this best. It's the best. Also have custom wedding dresses that looks really beautiful at affordable prices.

Evelyn Wells

Wonderful workmanship, friendly and helpful. Totally remodeled a 30 year old dress which now looks right in style and off the racks of Saks Fifth Ave. Thank you and I shall return for other alterations.

Ninja Stadia

You get what you paid for! I was looking to get my own custom suits for my business trips it seemed like they were highly experienced. I usually spent 200 to 400 dollars for my suits in center city and one of my co workers recommended this place after I complained that my suits did not last long and it was cheaply made from Chinese factories. when I was there they had all kinds of fabric selections from Italy and Korea. Italy fabrics were very nice and it costed me about 700 dollars for a suit but it is definitely worth it. I look forward to coming to this location. I never been to Chestnut Hill before but it was a very quiet location and lots of restaurants are near by. I look forward to coming to Chestnut Hill area to shop around. And maybe planning to move in to this neighborhood. From: a part time video gamer! Thank you

Maureen Weber

I spent months shopping for a mother of the groom dress for my son's wedding. Because I am large, I had a terrible time finding something in my size, and when I did find something in my size, it looked terrible. I came to this shop 3-1/2 …

Anna Dunn

Had a bad experience, would not recommend, ended up having to get a new wedding dress 3 weeks before my wedding.

E B

I have my work suits and dresses altered here. I am really petite and I like my suits tailored to my body. It's hard as a petite woman to find suits that fit nicely so I get them altered. Sometimes I buy them at end of season sales at huge discounts even if they are a size too big because I know I can have Peter make them fit me nicely. They always do a marvelous job at Sue's and I love the nice clean lines of the finished product that many other "tailors" fail to achieve. The tailor and his wife are very friendly and I have no problem communicating with them. One time I mentioned I had forgotten to put quarters in the parking meter while Peter was pinning my clothes and the wife ran outside to put them in for me. These are caring lovely people I tell ya!

Leslie Morris

Peter did an amazing job on my wedding dress! He made the dress from scratch and it is just what I envisioned. Not only was the quality of the fabric amazing but the detailing on the dress was fantastic. His craftsmanship is shown through the clothing he makes because everything is so precise. I found out about this business after one of my girlfriends got her reception dress made by Peter. I traveled all the way down from Virginia and it was absolutely worth it! Peter scheduled my fittings on the days it would be easy for me to drive down and my dress was made perfectly on time for my wedding. So happy with the results, thank you Peter!

Veronica S. Parris

When every other tailor shop and dressmaker told me "No, it could not be done", it was lovely Sue and her husband who said "Yes" they could help create the wedding gown I desired. And that is exactly what they did at such a REASONABLE price at that!!! At my request, they re-styled an original wedding gown with a keyhole back to a deep v-back wedding gown, plus added a beautiful trim to the back!!!! (see the five pictures posted). I am truly grateful for Sue and her husband! They helped make my wedding day a magical one!

Mishal Saleh

Wonderful job. Peter is a very very experienced tailor and you can sense it the moment he put his hands on the clothes. I got my suit fitted and tailored couple months ago and he has done a very professional, accurate and detail oriented job. I came back again this week for pant customizations and alternations and just picked it today, again a really great job. I have been living in Philadelphia for couple years and this is the first time I found a professional and experienced tailor. Highly recommend.

Tom Furstenberg-Carroll

My family and I have been going to Sue's for over 10 years. I've gotten everything from my senior prom tux to wedding suits from here and always have had a great experience. My sisters have had their prom dresses made here. The quality of the dress making and tailoring is superior. He learned from his family who were taught by Italian tailors. Not only are they great at what they do, but they are the nicest, friendliest people.

grace lee

Just moved back to the area and had a wedding coming up. The bridesmaids dress was ill fitting on me so I needed to take it to a tailor. In design, the dress was not an easy fix (built in partial corset and long train). When I walked in I didn't know what to expect but as soon as I saw Peter I knew he was going to be the real deal. Even while measuring me he was meticulous in making sure the dress was not only going to fit but also flatter me. This dress also had a train. He not only maintained the train length while hemming a good 5 inches off but he made the dress look like it was originally made for me. The dress fit like a glove and looked amazing. If you are looking for someone who takes pride in what he does, meticulous in measuring and executing, and listens to what you want... this is your guy. I just took a few more pieces to him because I was so pleased with the end result.

Andrea Z.

Expert tailoring and efficient service at a fairly reasonable price. Needed many alterations on a tuxedo and the owner did an excellent job in a short time frame. Highly recommended. Will definitely return for future alterations.

Jane Farran

The tailors at Sue's are expert, caring and skillful. Getting things altered with them is a pleasure. We don't go anywhere else!

Jason Young

Peter always does a great job with all of my tailoring needs. He is very thorough and can handle any job. In addition to alterations on suits, sport jackets and pants, he also replaced an old overcoat lining for me and patched some old wornout garments. I definitely recommend Sue's for anyone who lives or works in the area.

Ralph Giannattasio

We are blessed to have a Master Tailor like Peter in Chesnut Hill. From the simplest of alterations to the most complex wedding gown Peter is the person to trust. I have been a customer for many years and recommended numerous friends and relatives to Sue and Peter. A true Chestnut Hill Treasure!

Leon Stankowski

Insanely overpriced. Quoted $800 to make a very simple strapless dress with no embellishments and I would supply the fabric.

Rheem Mois

Love!

Suchit Bachalli

This is the best kept secret of Philadelphia. The most well made, well tailored, hand stitched, custom suits you can get anywhere in the city or a 100 miles around. Peter is a master tailor and a traditionalist. A keen eye for detail and an immaculate sense of style. Peter makes his suits with time and talent. They are a labor of love. If you are looking for that one suit that will stand out and speak volumes about your style this is the place for you and Peter is the man for you.

Amanda Cerracchio

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this shop. Fast, expert, and friendly service at a very reasonable price. I needed my very complicated wedding gown taken in significantly with less then a month to my wedding, and they delivered beautifully with a gorgeous bustle. I live in the Atlantic City, NJ area and will continue to make the hour and a half trek here for all of my future tailoring needs.

Jalyn Gadson

Got my prom dress made here, was gorgeous!

Ben Pope

My fiancé took a dress here to get altered and told him she needed it by Wednesday and that she would be in before 6 PM to pick it up. He acknowledged and said not a problem since they are open until 6. Well she got there at 5:45 PM to pick it up and they had closed already with her dress she needs inside. Never returning to this tailor for any service again and will advise everyone I know to go elsewhere for tailoring.

Lauren Jones

I just got my wedding dress a few weeks ago and the wedding is planned for early October. Not that I’m in a rush, but I like to get things done in advance! My cousin had her cocktail dress altered here and few other things and she suggested Peter to me. When I walked in, Peter was very genuine and knew exactly what he was talking about. I had to get a lot of things fixed on the dress including the hem, bust, waist, etc. My first fitting and the fittings after that went smoothly! I was very happy with the results. When it was time to pay, I thought the amount was going to be pricey, since he was doing everything by hand! My mother sews a bit, so I know how much work goes into sewing, etc. However, the amount I had to pay was extremely fair price and it was worth every penny. My dress came out perfect and his craftsmanship is unbeatable. I will definitely be coming to Peter for future alterations. I also see that he does custom work as well, definitely recommend this place!

Jireh Curet

I Loved the work he did on my Wedding Dress! Mister Peter did a wonderful job I will recommend him to EVERYONE I know. So Happy with the outcome. His Shop is very clean and organized, he is very nice and accommodating... :-) Did the job in a week and gave me great suggestions for my dress.

Dejena Gudd

After seeing mostly good reviews, I came to this dress shop to have my wedding dress alter. It has been a long journey but I finally have my dress and although it is not exactly how it looked in the picture when I first bought it, I am overall pretty satisfied. They did a wonderful job and were very accommodating which I think is one of the most important tributes for any business. They accommodate their customers and they prioritize you like a customer. I am very satisfied

D G

Overly priced. Never on time. I Made 2 trips and trimming in dress was not ready. The owner is moody, loud and rude. Loud and rude.

Sheena Harris

Best tailor in Philly. They did an amazing job with my wedding dress. They nailed every detail perfectly. And they are very reasonably. I highly recommend them!

Eunni Cho

I love this place. I am very particular with my dress. Really hard to find decent alteration in the US compare with where I am from. I always brought my dresses to Korea or HK until I found this place. I brought couple dresses to be tailored. I was little worried that It wouldn't be that simple job. They needed to be tailored entirely, not just trimmed. Materials weren't easy to handle since they were very delicate. And some of them were vintage items. They did amazing job and I love them all. Korean tailors are the best. And they are one of top for sure.

Melanie French

I used Sue’s shop to tailor my wedding dress, and they did an amazing job! They were efficient, professional, and offered an affordable price! Everyone loved my dress! I could not be happier! I would recommend their tailoring services to anyone and would use them again in the future!

Aliha Walker

I had a wonderful experience and my dress turned out beautiful the customer service was on point and my dress was done really fast I would recommend getting a dress done here

Dr. Calvin Green

Came across this amazing business from my good friend Pastor Romaine Gibbs. The level of customer service matches the work second to none. Peter is truly a God send! He does exactly what you want and how you want it. If you have not encountered or experienced the work, what are you waiting on? Make it happen TODAY!

Dekker Boulay

Peter did an excellent job on a suit I needed tailored for a wedding. He was super nice, had great chat, and the fit was fantastic.

gae song

I bought a wedding dress online only to realize it was too small and I couldn’t close the back of the dress. I was panicking and called various well reviewed tailors only to find appointments in the far future. I had limited free time and …

Nicole Bair

I had a bridesmaid dress altered here, with a strict timeline and seemingly un-acheivable expectations for said timeline. Sue was not only able to meet my timeline, but achieve everything I had requested! Also, for a fair price.

Jamie Baker

I have been going to Sue's for a long time and have gotten everything from simple alterations and dry cleaning to entire suits re-worked. Peter and Sue have always done a great job, completing the work by the date they quoted. Their alterations have always been spot on and not needed any additional work. I would recommend anyone to take their clothing here.

Peter and Sue are amazing! They really know how to tailor clothing to perfectly fit. I highly recommend them!

Essence Williamson

My experience with this tailor shop was wonderful and my dress was beautiful.thank you guys sooo much ❤️

Shanon Mendez

Kahdijah Venable

I am so happy with my alterations from this amazing place! Thank you both so much for your hardwork on my bridesmaid dress!! It was a big hit!!!!

Donielle Smith

I had my wedding dress tailored here and they made it fit like a glove! My husband also had his suit jacket for the wedding tailored after Joseph A Bank down the street messed it up. They performed a miracle! Both of us were very pleased and we looked amazing on our wedding day!

Lotanna Ejiofor

Peter has performed tailoring magic on countless occasions for me; 1st class service at an affordable price.

Steve Ma

Reviews here seem to be fairly polarizing. Honestly, with custom/bespoke clothing, it's almost expected. I own a number of custom suits and over two dozen shirts, across 6 different online and live tailors. I was AMAZED by my experience with Sue's Custom. I was promptly greeted, and we got right into the measurements. I'm a bigger guy, but that didn't phase Sue at all. She was absolutely on point! Sue was great - knowledgeable and patient, she took her time going through all of the options available and giving great recommendations like picking fabrics, buttons, etc. The tailoring process is really great, as well. Once your suit is ready, you come in for a fitting, additional tailoring is free. You can come in for your second fitting and if its still not right they will tailor until it is perfect. I would definitely go back there for another suit! Highly recommend.

Kelsey C

Sue's did a great job with the alterations for both my wedding gown and a bridesmaid dress for another wedding I was in! Highly recommend.

Sun Hwa Ban

I brought in my mothers 30 year old wedding dress to be remade for my wedding. I was hesitent because the material is very delicate and I was not sure if the tailor will be able to recut some areas I wanted to change. We talked through some designs I had in mind and he also gave me his insight. My mother's was a long sleeved, puffy bottom with a long trail. It also had some beads on top and some going around the waist. I wanted to recut my mother's dress into a mermaid bottom with no sleeves. I knew it was a complicated job so I gave him a couple of months. I went in for a fitting in between to make sure it was the style that I wanted. The end product was amazing and I could not have been happier with the job that he did!! It was more than I had imagined and it was just perfect!! No one could ever tell that the dress was my mother's from 30 years ago but ofcourse I had to tell everyone of the special story behind my dress.

Peter is absolutely the sweetest! I ordered my bridesmaid dress online. When it came in the mail, it was huge and I ordered a size 4. I had about a week and a half to two weeks to get it fixed. I was terrified because normally my clothes fit me fine and I usually don’t order clothes online. Also, in the area I live in, there aren’t that many tailors. But I found Peters store on google and read the reviews, so I had to come in! The drive was totally worth it. On my bridesmaid dress, I needed to cinch in the waist, raise the hem, fix the bust area, etc. I had a fitting with Peter and everything went smoothly. I told him the wedding was soon, so he was very understanding about it! I picked it up after the alterations were done, tried it on one more time, and everything was perfect! Thank you so much Peter, and see you very soon!

It took some time but the finish product was so worth it. They’re so nice and professional

I would highly recommend Sue's to anyone who wants to look fabulous at an upcoming event! A while back, I uncovered a beautiful, colorful vintage dress that my mother wore in the 1970s. I wanted to wear it to a wedding but it was too tight. I didn't think it was "alterable" as it had a high waist with piping and the back of the dress was somewhat intricate. I took it to Sue's on a whim to just confirm that it would be a no-go. Peter had me put the dress on and he carefully looked at every aspect of the dress, pinning it in several places. He said he would be able to adjust the dress! When I picked it up and put it on, I WAS FLOORED. It was gorgeous! It fit perfectly and the dress really looked like it was made for me. Going forward, I will not go anywhere else for alterations. In fact, I am currently having a bridesmaid dress altered. Definitely give Sue's a shot...you will not be disappointed.

This review is long overdue, but I just had to get the word out about how amazing Peter is! I needed to find a good tailor that could take in the top of a Claire Pettibone “off the rack” dress I bought at Kleinfeld’s. I also bought this beautiful lace fabric from a trip to Paris that I wanted made into a rehearsal dinner dress. That’s right, Peter created this dress for me from scratch and it was absolutely PERFECT!! It could not have fit better. The same goes for my wedding dress. I highly recommend this shop for any alterations or custom dresses. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to have my vision of a dress come to life and executed so flawlessly in just a couple of months. Peter did have to push back the date that the dresses would be ready, but I made sure to allow enough time for this because I knew what a big job it was. Peter, if you are reading this, thank you so much for all your hard work!! I’m so glad I took a chance on you through a google/yelp search. Please do not ever move or retire because I have plans to come back each and every time I have a special event coming up, and need a dress altered or created! You’re the best!!

AMAZING QUALITY, SERVICE, and VALUE. This place is a gem and I cannot recommend it enough. I have been going there for the past nine years and even after moving away from Chestnut Hill, I still drive over 45 minutes to take all my clothes there. Sue and Peter not only provide expert work, they are the nicest people. I trust them more than any tailor at any high-end store/boutique. Simply put, they are the best tailors I have ever met.

Lauren Piroso

Sue and Peter worked magic on my wedding dress. It was not an easy task (all lace scalloped hem and lace short sleeve high neckline) and I needed a quick turnaround, unfortunately. 2 weeks and a couple fittings later, and my dress fits perfectly. Amazing service and talent! Thank you!!!

Hannah Furstenberg-Beckman

Whenever I come to visit my parents in Philadelphia, I bring the clothes I need tailored to Sue's shop. They do a great job with everything from hemming pants to custom-making clothes to your specifications. They are the best when it comes to hemming to jeans so that the bottom looks the way it did when you bought it- no matter what the stitching. I went to Sue's when I growing up nearby, and even got my prom dress custom-made here. They are incredibly patient and listen to exactly what you want done to your clothes.

Ellie Ruben

Best dress alterations!!! I will not take any of my clothes to be altered anywhere but here! Very professional and perfect fit !

Natalie Cower

I recently moved into the Chestnut Hill area for my new job (yay!) which required me to wear a suit almost all the time. As the couple suits that I purchased did not fit the way I wanted to, I took it to Sue's . Peter had them tailored perfectly and they turned out great! Quality Tailor!

Lisa Vitlip

I highly recommend this tailor. They are friendly and always do amazing work. I've been there several times and each time has been a wonderful experience.

Marc DeBeary

Peter's work is great! His price for a suit is even better. You may have to be a little patient for the delivery of services. Finicky customers like myself can be hard to deal with. Four Stars!!!!!!

Shelley Perks

They altered my wedding dress and it turned out beautifully. They also bustled it and showed me how to hook it in. I was very satisfied with the service. They cater to the consumer.

Catherine Wheeler

I went to this dress maker's shop because I wanted to get a dress made. I took my material in and spoke with an Asian woman named Sue, who promptly called her husband from the back. He took my material out of the bag and measured it just by stretching it out. I had a little over 4 yards. He told me the dress I wanted would cost $550.00 and would take 2 months to be completed. I was shocked at the price for a long sleeved maxi dresses and when I thanked this Asian man and told him the price was out of my range. He did some mental calculations and said he could do it for $500.00. I told him that was still out of my price range. At this point he seemed annoyed and shoved my material into my bag which was offensive and very dismissive. I would never recommend this dressmaker to anyone!!

donye'a Thabit

I will recommend anyone to peter. He is the best. I showed him a picture of a dress from Walter collection and wanted of remake of that dress for prom, it turned out exactly how I imagined

Doraine Douglas

Thank you so much for taking my dress apart and put it back together so it would fit me on my friends wedding day. You did an amazing job and I am grateful. Thank you. From the lady with the (orange brides maid dress)

Trent Flippin

I'm new to the area and needed a suit tailored for my first day at my new job. As soon as I had the suit on I expected Peter to ask what I wanted done but I barely had to speak as he started making marks and then he explained what he thought needed done in order to make it fit me much better. I went with all of his suggestions and explained that I needed the suit in 6 days. He was able to meet that tight deadline and when I tried it on it was amazing. I honestly didn't expect it to fit so well based on how it fit before he made the alterations. I would highly recommend this place.

Lisa Anson

My wedding is in about three weeks and I’m so happy I went to Peter to make alterations on my wedding dress! There was a lot to be done since I did order this online. When it came in the mail and I tried on the dress, I was horrified because the dress was too long, the waist was big, and my bust also needed fixing. Not only did Peter fix my wedding dress but he did it absolutely perfectly! My mother sews so I know how much work goes into sewing and doing everything by hand. That is what Peter does! He’s amazing at his work. My soon to be sister in law goes to Peter to get her jeans hemmed, to get her cocktail dresses fixed, etc. So, she recommended me this place. My first fitting went smoothly and so did my second fitting. He fixed everything that needed to be fixed which was the bust, waist, length of the dress, bustle, etc. I fully trusted him with my dress. At my third fitting, which was the final try on after the alterations, I was so satisfied and happy!! Thank you Peter, you and your wife are lovely! I will be coming in the future to get other clothes altered!

Jose Amaro

Loved it

Phil Gavin Riley

Made my Wedding suit in 2011 and I have been coming back ever since. They are very "on point" when it comes to details in clothe making. I recommend trying this place out.

Kerry smith

Completely transformed my prom dress into what I wanted! Best tailor I've ever been to! Highly Highly recommend

ali eaves

You can tell Peter is meticulous from the moment he pins you in: He takes him time, makes minuscule adjustments that I'd never even think of, and by the time he's done, you'll look like a million bucks. I've been going here for 3 years and have been consistently impressed. It took me years to find a tailor in Philly who I could trust with high-end clothes, so save your time and try Sue & Peter. I'd never go anywhere else!

Michael Bilotta

Been coming to Sue’s for as long as I can remember, maybe 10 years, and have always been pleased with their exceptional tailoring, outstanding service, and timely delivery. Even in a jam recently with a small time window, Peter was able to deliver quickly and perfectly saving my time crunch. They are the best!

Rick Terrell

Mr Peter and Ms Sue Jung..are the Best...they created the design I wanted for my wedding ...They took joy in helping me see the vision..The Best Tailor Hands Down!!!!!

Breezy Girl

Each time I drop off a piece of clothing, it hasn't been right the first time. They have to fix it and I have to make a trip back the next day. It's inconvenient. They are very kind people, just need to get a better system down of getting it right the first time.

Carolyn Snyderman

I had my bridesmaid dress altered here. I wear a size 10 but I ordered a size 16 as it was the only size closet to my size left! I knew Peter would be able to pull through to make the dress fit. He did a wonderful job!

Preston Ferguson

Best tailor in the philly area

I wish I had discovered this shop sooner! Earlier this year I found a beautiful brown and black houndstooth sport coat. Based on a friend's recommendation, and frequently seeing the beautiful displays in the window, I decided to bring the jacket here for alterations. Being a tall, thin, guy with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long arms pretty much every part of the jacket needed some sort of alteration. Once I put the jacket on I barely had to say anything before i was expertly pinned in all the right places. Some tailors will take the body in a set amount and leave it there, but my sport coat was pinned to fit my body as if it were made just for me. It's fitted without being tight, and the back is impeccable! I am in complete awe of how great this jacket looks, and feels. I've gotten compliments on this jacket every time it's been worn. I live in Brooklyn now, but when I recently found a pair of flannel trousers I knew to bring them here on my next trip home. I'm sure in the future there will be more trips home with a side trip to Sue's Custom Dressmaking & Tailor Shop to have pieces altered. They are incredibly pleasant to work with, and obviously care about making their clients look and feel good. If you've been in search of a quality tailor look no further.

Soon Yi Ma

I recently lost some weight and got my suit and a pair of pants tailored at this shop. The tailors here did a fantastic job in a timely manner, and they were very professional. My pants fit perfectly now, and I will definitely go back here for tailoring in the future.

Ahmed Ghetany

Nga Chau

I highly recommend this shop! The owners are super nice and when I got fitted the first time, he made adjustments to have the wedding dress fit me better, things that I didn't even think of such as the straps being too long, I'll definitely be back in the future!

Adara Kenney

I’d honestly prefer to give zero stars. I’d like to preface this by saying, I’ve never once in my life been compelled to leave a bad review for a local small business, but feel as though a warning is necessary. I brought my WEDDING DRESS, not just some pair of pants to work, to this shop. There is a fairly severe language barrier, and they seemed to be rushing me through the fitting. 3 weeks later, as I scheduled with them, when I went to pick it up, it wasn’t finished yet. Insisted it needed to be finished within the next two days as it was getting quite close to my wedding day. When I went back, the hem was EASILY a half inch shorter and now I am forced to go BAREFOOT to my wedding, as I tried the dress on with a very low heel. Not only that but the bustle was clearly rushed through, and theres roughly a foot of balled up dress dragging behind me. I could deal with the short hem, things happen, what can ya do. When I brought the dress back to have the bustle brought up more, I was told this was nothing they could do. This is certainly untrue. I have the dress now being rush order bustled at a PROFESSIONAL wedding shop. They nearly RUINED my wedding dress. And for $200 at that! BRIDES BEWARE!!! STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!! EDIT: not only was the bustle too long, within minutes, the hooks were bent out of shape and i spent the entire night holding my train up, until eventually just tying it up with hair ties. Brides beware.

Julie Klein

Wonderful! Peter is truly a master tailor.

Claire kelly

Peter made my wedding dress and I am SO happy with the results!! I fell in love with a Vera Wang wedding dress that was over 75,000. Of course I was not going to spend 75 grand on a dress! After looking at all the reviews on google my mind was set on Sue's Custom Dressmaking. I brought in a picture to Peter and without hesitation he said he was able to make it. I was thrilled! We had about 5 fittings total and each time the dress came closer and closer to the dress of my dreams! My bridesmaids who live around the area also went to Peter. I honestly did not think that Peter was going to be able to alter a dress that my maid of honor brought 2 sizes too small (that was the last biggest size avail on the website at that time). But he was able to do magic. He bought similar colored fabric and was able to alter the dress to make the dress fit her! It was AMAZING. Thank you so so much Peter!!

Chris W.

Mr.Sue is awesome with a needle & thread..

Andrew Meschter

Peter is an excellent tailor! His alterations are superb, and he is currently making a custom sportcoat for me. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank God he is in Chestnut Hill.

Thomas Adel

This is my second time going to Chestnut Sue's Tailor Shop. The first time I went I needed a pair of my scrubs hemmed (I like slim fit). As soon as I came in the store I was fitted almost immediately and the whole process only took about five minutes from start to finish. I had them hem three pairs and they were done within a week. When I got them back they fit perfectly. The level of quality in the stitching was great, it looked as though they were made that way from the manufacturer. It's been almost a year of wearing these pants nearly every day and the seams are still strong and tight, which goes to show how good of a job they do and the pride they take in their work. This second time I just got my suit jacket and pants fitted. Again, the whole process took under five minutes from the time I walked in and I am excited to see the end product. If you want any alterations, and want them done right, Sue's Custom Dressmaking & Tailor shop is a sure bet.

Carrie Christopherson

They did my wedding dress hem & bustle, it turned out beautifully. They were able to complete it in a just a few weeks too, and they are reasonably priced. It will new be my go-to place for alterations.

Susan Clark

Read the reviews and decided to come in! I needed to get alterations done on the wedding dress since my wedding is in about six months. Peter made everything so easy for me which I appreciate since I’ve been so hectic with everything! Anways, he did a wonderful job on my dress! I needed to get the train, the waist cinched in, and etc. I had about three fittings and I’m very happy. The store is located in Chestnut Hill which is lovely since the area is so nice! Will definitely be coming in again in the near future

Nicolas Troyano

I have lived in New York City, London, and Santa Barbara, and have had very good tailors in all these places, but I have to say that I think Peter and Sue are the absolute best. Everything I have taken to them over the years have been returned to me perfectly tailored. Recently that included three expensive suits that needed significant adjustment which are now, thanks to Peter's exceptional work, absolutely perfect. (My work requires me to present at large conferences around the world, and I always feel more confident on stage knowing that I'm well-tailored.) Such beautiful work (at very reasonable prices) and such kind, gentlemanly people. I recommend them without reservation, and in the future I would love to have a custom suit made by Peter.

Nimet Suheyla Eren

Sue's Dressmaking and Tailor Shop is WONDERFUL! I had my wedding dress made there this fall, and had an amazing experience. I showed the owners a photo of a designer dress which was far out of my price range, and they were able to replicate it perfectly for a price I could afford. Not only is the dress beautiful, but it fits me like a glove. I can't thank the owners enough--they are kind and attentive.

Allyson Carolina

Sue altered my wedding gown. I would recommend her to any bride.

Jennifer Nelson

To date I have had three dresses made, and I have not been disappointed! He is awesome at his craft. He takes care, listens, and works with you to achieve exactly you want. Whenever I need something made I always think of him.

Melissa Simmons

I recently had my wedding dress alterations done here. Sue and her husband were so hospitable and provided great quality work! The dress was two sizes too big, yet fit perfectly when by the time they completed the alterations. Thanks so much Sue! God bless you and your family!

Brenna Young

I recently had my wedding dress altered and they did an amazing job! Quality work and great value. Highly recommend.

Heather Guerrant

I had the worst experience with this dressmaker. I book him in feb to make two gowns for me my wedding dress and my one bridesmaid dress. He asked for a 80% down payment with which i glady paid out to him. My first fitting for my gown he cancelled which was a month and a half later, and rescheduled for a week later which he cancelled also. Two months after that he finally called me in for a consult which i thought we already had when i paid the 80%.($800) My next app was 5 months later in which he still hadnt showed me any material or any swatches of the material. He made a shell for my maid of honor dress which was made out of the wong material. 60 days before my wedding they had not shown me any dress for my wedding. So finally i had enough and cancelled my dress with peter and now they are refusing to give me any of my money back claiming that he has to be paid for his time he made this pattern that was made out of sheer gauce and held together with straight pin and we are still in small claims court

zaria bizzell

I recently had a prom dress made by Peter, it was great. It was the average price for a custom prom dress and it fit perfectly.

Ninetta Dickerson

This shop provides the most excellent and professional tailoring services. They can do anything! I highly recommend them!

Pamela Narabal

I am so pleased with their work. I had 2 pairs of jeans, 1 denim dress, 1 maxi dress, 1 sheath dress, 2 silk dresses, and a skirt altered and everything turned out perfectly. The cost was very reasonable. It was a two-week turnover but that is to be expected for the amount of work done. I would definitely go back to them. In fact I am already planning a trip for next month. Support this local gem! You won't regret it!

Lakia Scott

Peter and Sue did a great job with alterations for my wedding gown and Jr. Bridesmaids dresses. Their prices were reasonable, great quality work, and they were both very friendly. I'd definitely use them in the future and recommend them to others!

Casey Brown

I has my prom dress custom made here and it was perfect! They paid attention to detail and gave me exactly what I asked for. All of my fittings showed preggression and the final product was perfect and ready when I expected it to be done. If I ever need another custom dress I would definitely come back to Sue's!!!

Christina Cho

I have nothing but good things to say about Peter and his work!! I can't tell you how much I love the dresses! They are perfect and even more beautiful in person. He was very helpful with picking out the fabric for the bridesmaid dresses and it came out exactly how I imagined them.

Helene Lee

I had my wedding dress altered here and was so pleased by the results! It was not a traditional kind of dress, but they were able to make the changes quickly. They went above and beyond what was needed, including taking it themselves to a specialty cleaner after the wedding. I will definitely be coming back here for any future alterations and would recommend them highly!

Jenell Williams

Came to Sue Custom Dress to have two "off the rack" dresses altered into a completely different styles. They were actually bridesmaids gowns that were perfect in color but not style. Sue's changed the style of the dresses exactly how I imagained. They did a wonderful job. Very pleased.
