Not only did she make it so that my dresses fit me perfectly but she made me fall in love with it all over again! She is very detailed and is willing to put in a lot of work for you to be happy with your end result! Highly recommended!!!

Have brought several pairs of jeans in for hemming, and my fiance has brought in a dress. Every time the results were fantastic! She always does a great job and is super friendly!

Charlie Shin

Master level tailoring, friendly service, great prices.

Khadija Shaikh

This is by far the best tailor I have tried in the DMV area. I am very particular about the style, technique, etc, having worked in tailoring myself. The attention to detail and the quality produced was fantastic. They make sure to spend lots of time with you during the fitting to ensure that everything is perfect once completed!

Jeanhee did a wonderful job altering my wedding dress! She took great care and time to make the dress fit and look just right. She is highly professional and takes her work seriously. From the moment I called to inquire about her services until the day I picked up my dress, she was friendly, attentive and professional. I highly recommend her services, as she delivers and gives the customer a great experience for a reasonable price. Thank you, Jeanhee!

Jeanhee did an amazing job tailoring my bridesmaid dress. I came in three weeks before the wedding needing the bust, waist, and length adjusted and she fixed everything in that short amount of time. Jeanhee is very sweet, the quality of her work is great, and the cost was, in my opinion, quite reasonable. I have a dress suit that needs to be taken in at the waist and I'll be bringing it to her. As a side note, I also loved that she has classical music playing in the background.

****MILITARY****MILITARY****MILITARY**** If you're looking for a quality shop to trust with your military dress uniform this is it. Well worth the drive from Fort Detrick to right outside Fort Myers. (Great opportunity to walk around site seeing D.C. after dropping off your uniform) It's not always easy finding military reviews to help us with our needs I looked for shops with 4/5 star reviews and sifted through them this place had the best ones. I called and spoke with the owner who was confident with their experience between military and law enforcement uniforms they do/have done. Between the reviews and speaking with the shop owner about their experience we felt good about taking my husband's Marlow White dress blues (ASU/Army Service Uniform) here to get altered. I set us up an appt for the fitting and not only was her turn around time much quicker then Marlow White but she was accommodating and took care of every picky detail we wanted addresses on the uniform. We bought the uniform off the rack at Marlow white and she did an amazing job with it. The sleeve hem, yellow cording, rank service stripes and over seas stripes were all sewn on flawlessly and IAW regulations. For outstanding customer service and attention to detail I would definitely recommend Elim Boutique and will be back in the future as needed

The ladies here did a perfect job hemming my dress, and were able to do it within 24 hours ($60).

Frank A.

Extremely honest business owner. I appreciated her advice that actually saved me money.

I found this place after trying 4 other tailors in the Arlington area. The price to shorten dress shirt sleeves ($25) is comparable to others, and that, combined with the excellent customer service and attentiveness, has made this my new go-to for tailoring. I had the very nice lady that runs the business alter 15 dress shirts (basically my entire work wardrobe).

Anila Kuehn

This place is the best. I have been going there for a long time. Had a lot of clothing altered from pants to skirts, dresses. Ms. Jean has done an excellent job always. She pays attention to detail. What I like about her is that she will tell you exactly what she likes about a piece and whether or not alteration is warranted. She knows her job very well. She communicates very well. I don't know what I would do, if this place were not her. I have never been disappointed.

Dan Donnelly

I brought in an off-the-rack linen suit that was around 3 sizes too large for me in every direction. She did an amazing job tailoring it to fit me like a glove. For what I paid for the suit and the alteration, I got what looks like a custom-made piece that would easily cost 2-3 times as much. The quality, price, and service were great. I will be returning with more projects. Thank you!

Holy Spirit

Not detail-oriented and expensive. Two issues with two shirts. 1. Brought in a brand new shirt for sleeve work and the seamstress tore the neck. They gave me the shirt and never fixed it the neck (very obvious). I had to ask to fix it. 2. The owner said she would put on all new dress shirt buttons. I paid her for 11 buttons and stiching. However, she decided to sew three different button styles onto a man's dress shirt. Come on, everyone knows dress shirts come with all the same buttons. Owner is lazy and not detail-oriented. Since then, I have visited other tailors to fix the issue and they have better craftsmanship at a lower price.

Ms. Jeanhee, the manager and head tailor at Elim Boutique, is excellent! I’ve taken many items to get for tailoring, from slacks to gowns, and she always does a superb job, even when it’s last minute. And she also happens to be a lovely person. I recommend her to everyone! ❤️

Faith James

I had a rush job for a bridesmaid dress and she did an amazing job! My top half had gotten larger since I purchased the dress so I needed it taken out a bit and thankfully she was able to do it perfectly. Amazing service all around!

Jenny C

The owner/lead tailor here is lovely, very communicative and extremely professional. She tailored my wedding dress meticulously, and did a superb job with very complicated beading. Because of her my dress is absolutely perfect and expertly tailored to my shape. She is very talented and I take all of my clothing to her because of her expertise and attentiveness. I highly recommend this shop for your tailoring needs no matter how complicated.

David Schilp

They were the best! Super custom service for me. Nothing by professional and I will 100% be coming back!

Lee Tate

Jean and her team are wonderful, talented, and incredibly accommodating. She has been taking care of me for eight years now, handling everything from suits, shirts and leather bomber jackets to military uniforms and rank insignia. Every trip to Elim Boutique is a delight.

Gail Shackelford

If you’re looking for a quality tailor Jean is definitely who you want. I recently took a skirt in for alterations and before I could tell her what I thought was needed, she took one look and said “I know what to do”. She has never disappointed me and this time was no exception. She not only knew what to do, she ensured it worked for my body. This just adds to the reason why I only use Elim Boutique when I need something altered.

Robyn Caron

I brought a wedding dress here to have it hemmed and altered and they did a fantastic job! It's all lace so I was a little worried about where to bring it, but I'm glad I chose Elim Boutique. The hem was great and they were able to use the extra material to alter the neckline exactly how I wanted it! They were fast and very reasonably priced. I will absolutely go back for any tailoring needs.

Fabian Larach

Expedite service! Really nice people and good service.

Camille Daley

They did an AMAZING job transforming a mother of the bride dress into a baby blanket. I was honestly blown away by the quality of the blanket and the speed! It was done in 3 weeks. I highly recommend using Elim for personal projects.

The ladies at Elim Boutique Tailoring are wonderfully gifted.They are professional... They are pleasant to deal with... and I trust my most expensive garments in their hands. They are 1 of only 2 tailors I've trusted & recommended in 25 years!

Jeanhe is the best altiration in the world. She always makes such a wonderful and great job. She always makes happy and looks nice.

Christina Ross

Wonderful ,beautiful dress. I highly recommend.

Pete Paccione

I had my jacket re-lined here, they did a fantastic job! I've also had several pairs of pants sized, each time its perfect. I think they are the cheapest in the Arlington area as well, I highly recommend!

Phil Yoon

I like this place and the lady owner who is truly an artist on tailoring. She makes the clothing look great not only the outside, but the inside too. She deserves to be called 'tailoring artist'.

Brian Pollock

Great place! Fast and incredibly friendly! Very reasonable prices too, especially by DC standards.

Christine Loftus

She did amazing work on a very difficult bridesmaid dress. I’m extremely happy with the results and will 100% return.

Misheel Nyam-ochir

This is the best place. Jean and alterations are so good. Would highly recommend this place. I really really loved my dress.

Ashley Banks

I love this place. She perfected my dress for the wedding and a great cost (not to mention in a short timeframe). I encourage all brides to come here!!!!

Amy Nabozny

i’ve been going here for years and she does a great job every time!!

I bought a 'tailored' suit during a brief stop in Hong Kong. The cut was a complete disaster. After doing some research I found Ms. Jeanhee at Elim. At first I thought the number of 5-star reviews might have been 'plants' as I found it hard to believe there could be such a highly-rated service in Arlington. Let me just say that Ms. Jeanhee is amazing. She is sweet and very talented. She took my ill-fitting suit and completely transformed it into a true tailored fit. I will bring all of my alterations, and even dry-cleaning, to Ms. Jeanhee from now on. She deserves all of the 5-star reviews she has earned and many more!

Samantha Dorn

She is so friendly, gives great advice, gets the work done on time and better than expected.

Came here for my wedding dress and she did amazing

Christian Gonzalez

Hands down the best tailor in the area. Quick in and out. Great service.

Justin Door

Brought in 5 pairs of suit pants in here for some tailoring work I needed done. At first I was concerned about the price ($30/pair), but really, it was an investment in the pants to make sure I wouldn't have to replace them down the line. The tailoring work took a little over a week, and I've been wearing my suit pants since. I'm very happy with the quality of the work, and the pants still look great. They seem to be holding up very well, and I'm very happy with the tailoring work done. While it seems like many people come to the tailor for wedding attire, I would recommend coming here for every day business wear. It seems like a good investment to keep those clothes still looking good, and the quality of the workmanship is great. I know the price may put some people off, but at least I know that the work is done well.

Virginia Hughes

Wow this place is amazing. I brought my wedding dress here. Throughout the process I was losing weight and she continued to work on my dress! The end result was everything. I was also able to get my dress customized. They dress originally came with a zipper in the back. We had it removed for a keyhole back. It was perfect.

Robert David

I love the service at Elim Boutique and the quality of work is awesome. I have used them multiple times and have been pleased each time. I would definitely recommend this Taylor shop to all my family and friends.

Lena Underwood

She tailored my prom dress for me and was fantastic. She was very friendly, fixed my dress perfectly, and got it back to me quickly. Definitely recommend.

Luke Iglehart

Always a great experience - I've taken pants, jackets, & full suits ... everything from replacing a hem to fully tailoring off the rack suits. Excellent work!

Kiara

I have never been more impressed by a tailor/seamstress! I had a disaster with my bridesmaid dress the day before my best friend’s wedding - it was two sizes too big. With less than 24hrs before the wedding, I frantically called all of the tailors in the area to see if they’d be able and willing to take in my dress. Of the ones who were able to help, none of them matched the price Jeanhee gave me! But that alone wouldn’t be enough to make me write a review. The work on my dress was STUNNING. I got compliments on my dress all day! Jeanhee is a veritable miracle worker.
