Reviews of Tailors Atelier (Tailor)

Lydia Y

I had an excellent experience at Taylors Atelier. I had a very expensive dress that needed altering. It was a tricky job and I only had one chance to fix it. I dealt with Natasha and have nothing but praise for her and this high-quality specialty tailor.

Chloe Frank

I'm honestly disappointed. I had my maid of honor dress simply shortened, and it cost $100. Not only is that exorbitant for a simple hem, but when I picked up the dress, nobody was there paying attention to my satisfaction. Perhaps the worst part was that the dress is extremely wrinkled at the bottom. The garment bag I brought it in is too short for the dress, so I would have expected them to steam the dress and put it in plastic. Now I have to stress about steaming it before the wedding. My expectation, especially when paying a premium, is that the garment is ready to wear. I won't be going back.

Great service and excellent quality, plus a local business!

Superb service and quality, would recommend!

Nick Rivas

They are simply great! I've been here two times, the first time I needed a shirt fixed form the sleeves. I was welcomed and given a dressing room to put the shirt on so they could do the markings and what not. They did a great job with that shirt. Knowing they are good, I came back later for alterations on another shirt I had recently purchased from YSL. This time I wanted it tapered. As I was paying I was told the shirt would be ready in 2 weeks. That's reasonable but I was leaving on a long trip in a little over a week..so 2 weeks wouldn't work. The lady asked the tailor if in one week was fine to which he gladly agreed. I was relived and felt happy, and as I took my card out thinking there would surely be an extra charge for a much faster work (and I didn't mind), the lady said it was fine, no extra charge. I picked up the shirt a week later and of course it fit so well!

They did an amazing job with my leather dresses and skirts. Definitely would recommend

Shirley Saunders

This review is well overdue. I wanted to get a custom shirt for my son's baptism last year, but was hesitant to pull the trigger. Finally I made an appointment and oh man, what a treat this was. The service is one of a kind and his attention to detail is phenomenal. The customer service and one on one attention Jerry gave me was better than walking into a Cadillac dealership. Once you get a shirt from Tailors Atelier, you'll never buy a shirt off the rack again. I'm actually due for another shirt, see you soon Jerry!!

We were in town for a wedding. The bride had brought her dress here to be altered and we had a problem with our bridesmaid dress. Nigel was so helpful and nice, everyone we met at his shop was great. We are so happy we met him!

Alvin Cheng

I had a custom suit made for me here and let me tell you something. It. Is. Amazing. I received multiple compliments when I first wore it out. I will definitely be coming back to have another one done when the time is right. For the time being, I'll look in to a shirt. Come and you won't regret it! The price does display a premium, but if you bring in priceless pieces to get fitted then you won't regret it.

Steven Hodak

Nigel's fashion sense and the quality of the tailoring are both top notch! He not only knows how to do the alterations, but more importantly he knows which alterations to do to make a garment work. He's done beautiful work for me, as well as amazing work for my wife--including recutting a slightly dated Armani black label suit to make it contemporary. Nice job Nigel! This is a family business with pleasant, helpful and caring people who provide a quality service. A sharp suit is easy--a sharp tailor is not. I can't recommend Nigel and Tailor's Atelier more highly!

Taylor Stevenson

Hard to put it into words, but I'll try. I talk about Nigel to all of my friends. I have taken clothes in there twice and am heading in for my third trip tomorrow. Decided to write my review now because I have been meaning to do it. I have always had a problem fitting into the clothes I like (I am short and petite with a small chest) Most everything does not fit right. I also love vintage and antique clothing. Everything I have brought in has been fit to perfection and fixed to perfection. I actually get clothes now that I love and even if they are slightly wrong I know they won't be after I take them to Nigel's. Everyone there is lovely and I make the commute from Carroll gardens without regrets. Thank you everyone at Tailors Atelier. Xx

I brought two pairs of pants to be hemmed. Was told it would take a day or two. Not surprised, but I did let Nigel know I wished they could be done sooner. It was my fault for bringing them at the last second. I couldn't believe when he called a few hours later saying they were finished. I wasn't able to pick them up before he closed so he delivered them to my building. 1st class service, 1st class job. Nigel was a pleasure to work with. I'll be bringing all my clothes to him to be fitted.

Jordan

Nigel is truly talented and a pleasure to work with. He assured me that my dress would be finished in time for my wedding and rest assured it was. He even left me a sweet note wishing me all the best with my new journey in married life. Also if you catch him singing it’s definitely not a bad thing... he has a great voice! Thank you Nigel for everything!

When I first moved to NYC, I knew I needed a good tailor. Every grown man should have a few essential things.. a great tailor is one of them. I looked around everywhere, read reviews all over the place, and finally saw read Tailors Atelier's review, and decided to give it a shot. One of the best decisions I've made living here in NYC. Nigel and his staff take GREAT care of you, and treat you like family the moment you walk in. You can really tell a lot about a tailor by the way they dress as well. Nigel is always dressed sharply, with a nice crisp well tailored suit every time I have gone in there. He is a perfectionist, and calling his work stellar is an understatement. The man knows exactly what he's doing with impecable taste. His work is of quality and precision. And he loves what he's doing, and you can see that reflecting from his work. I highly recommend Tailors Atelier, they take good care of you, customer service is superb, and the work here is just simply great.

They are excellent!

Rody Nimrod Lazar

Worst sewing store I’ve ever went to. Horrible service. Illigal. You ask one thing they do the other. Beside being too expensive, you get a Bad service. And for dessert a disturbing and rude supervisor. After that I realized how much the quality is bad!:( The receptionist doesn’t know English and ignored what I was asking her to do... Waiting time is also.. ridiculously long An hour work took them more than 2 weeks! Just don’t go there

Jake S

Incredible attention to detail and lovely people. I will be back.

Nina Gokhale

Tailors Atelier did an awesome job altering the blouse piece of an Indian Lehengha for my wedding! When I wasn't 100% happy after the first alteration (not due to anything that was altered incorrectly the first time), they fixed it at no additional cost, even though it was a new cut / part of the blouse that needed to be adjusted. Totally worth the cost for special occasion attire

Jane Nixon

They did an excellent job with several pairs of pants I brought in for repair. The staff was super nice. I will definitely go back for all future tailor needs.

Jake Silbert

Incredible work, quick turnarounds, fair prices and a staff that cares about making your clothing perfect.

PJ E

A place you want to like. Sadly, outrageous prices and the slight feeling they're waiting to charge you for every stitch means I'm unlikely to go back. He's a gifted tailor, so this is a great place if you need hand-made, or truly expert tailoring done. Save your best pieces for here. It is worth the price. If you want a hem, or something silly done, go to your local laundry.

Burt Y.

Good workmanship.

maren speyer

Very kind people, but also exceptional work on my leather jacket. I will be coming back here.

Katie Citino

Caring and professional. Great people work here!

Lee W

I also posted a similar review on another review website. I was not happy with the work on a blazer. It was a recut and it now fits terribly. It is unwearable at this point. On top of this, the cuff buttons do not lay flat because they were sewn incorrectly. I won't be returning and would not recommend.

Jacqueline Chamorro

Amazing job always!! I wouldn't go anywhere else honestly..

Dan Bell

I've had several dress pants tailored here, and I could not be more pleased with the service. Nigel is professional and personable, and provides excellent quality work. He guarantees his tailoring, which means you're going to get the quality and fit that you want. Do yourself a favor and come here for excellent tailoring.

Pearson Henri

Honestly really surprised by all the 5-star reviews. Their work is fine, but does not strike me as exceptional given the exorbitant prices they charge. To be fair, I haven't gotten anything really crazy fixed up by these guys (see some good reviews for like leather jackets and stuff, so if that's your deal maybe then this is a good spot), but this is *not* the spot for your basic tailor alterations. Got a suit tightened up and it was returned with tons of loose strings and extra bits of cloth that I had to snip at home, which is not a big deal but made me feel a little irked at paying $160 for a jacket alteration and a hemming. Took some other pants here to get tapered and it was $55, which is honestly just outrageous for a pair of khaki pants. The work was good, but the pricing is ridiculous. Plus, they're really slow/backed up--took a week and a half to get my pants tapered. I've started going out to Bushwick where I get my pants tapered in two days for $8 at Green Cleaners on Wyckoff. That place is worth the trip. Wish I could say the same about these folks.
