Murat’s Tailoring & Clothiers

Murat’s Tailoring did an AMAZING job at altering my off-​the-​rack wedding dress from a Size 12 to a Size 6. The dress was a Watters silk organza ball gown with at least seven layers of tulle underneath. The tailor was able to take in the bodice as well as shorten the gown. The owner was responsive in understanding what I wanted done to the dress and the tailor did so with great skill and efficiency. The owner was also understanding and flexible when I ended up losing additional weight in the last couple weeks before my wedding. It wasn’t a cheap tailoring job, but for what I paid received safe and proper handling of my expensive designer dress, which fit to a tee.

I have to say I had the worst experience here. I would give this NO stars if that was an option. I decided to come here because a friend has her wedding dress fixed here and loved it. I paid $ 150 which I was okay paying more for something I couldn’t afford to have screwed up. It was $ 30 per layer of the dress so that was $ 90. Another $ 60 for the shortening of straps and taking it in the side. When I got the dress back, the back of the dress flopped over. He told me he couldn’t fix it and that’s how the dress is. I am not a tailor so I can’t tell the tailor how to fix it but that is not how a dress should look. He stitched a little in the inside to hold it up but it still looked miserable. I was fighting back tears and didn’t know what to do so I left. I took it somewhere less and it was an easy fix. I called for a refund and asked if it was okay to come. The tailor said no problem. I came and he did not remember me and we went back and forth. I wasted time coming here to argue with him. The way he handled it was unprofessional and made me feel like I was in the wrong. He also told me that I should have come back for him to fix. I had no trust in his ability to fix the problem so I was not going to come back. I was extremely hopeful from what I saw on Unilocal and what my friend said but my experience says quite the opposite.

I had a bridesmaid dress altered here for the last wedding I was in and not sure why my alterations cost exponentially more than the other bridesmaids even though our dresses were similar and made of the same material. They got theirs done at other places. Whoever worked on my dress did a good job, but at the price tag of over $ 100! Whaaat. Another friend just got her bridesmaid dress altered for another wedding at another place for $ 36 and it was perfect. The dresses were different, yes, but both seemed to be of similar complexity considering the fabric and the types of alterations that needed to be done. I think I will look around (or go to the person my friend saw) before coming back here.

Murat’s Tailoring is the BEST. He is the most skilled tailor around for jeans, expensive suits, women’s dresses and more.
This is the perfect example of a quality, local business. He knows how to treat customers and will do anything for them. He helped tremendously when I needed some clothes tailored for a specific event!
The best!

I was looking for a tailor that was in the southern section of Simsbury or right over the Avon line. I went online and found Murat’s and thought I would give him a try.
I brought in a shirt that the hem came undone. He was able to fit it without even being able to notice it. A few months later my daughter needed her prom dress hemmed. He did a wonderful job on her dress too. Over the past few weeks I brought in several shirts that needed to be made smaller. Once again Murat did a wonderful job.
Go to Murat’s and you will never be disappointed!

My son always has to have his pants hemmed. After calling several tailors in the area I decided to go with Murats. Part of it was they had the best price and the other part is they had great reviews. We just moved from California and were a little late shopping for clothes. They had 5 pairs of pants hemmed by the end of the day and my son will wear them for his first day of school. They were very friendly and worked great with kids. I can’t say enough great things about them.

Tailoring is a difficult business it seems. Bodies are all shaped differently and making something fit perfectly just seems to be so hard to do. It seems antiquated (like at this point we’d have an Iphone sewing for us or something), but it’s such a necessary profession – we all need a skilled tailor like Murat for those clothes that just need a little tweaking!
I bought a beautiful pink tweed skirt from J Crew and thought it was going to fit just right. But after a few days of wearing it, and it became a whole two sizes bigger. So, I brought it to Murat (read the Unilocal reviews for him, which encouraged me to go!)
At first, when I came to pick it up (a week after dropping it off), the skirt was too small. Then, I decided I wanted them to try again (and they didn’t charge me more for this), and they made it a little bigger. Then, it took me nearly 3 weeks to come and pick it up (they close at 6 pm, and I work late nearly every night and am away most weekends, so this was very difficult for me!). BUT, finally, I got the chance to get over there (calling 10 minutes before close while frantically going over Avon Mountain, calling 411 for their number. Talk about antiquated) and tried on the skirt.
Again, too small in the butt, but I decided that the reason why I brought it in the first place was because it’s tweed, and tweed apparently stretches out a lot. I just couldn’t see this pink tweed skirt as unwearable, especially after spending $ 30 on tailoring.
I wasn’t going to make them bring it back to the size it was again, instead, I became more determined to lose 5 pounds. Thanks Murat, for encouraging me to stick to yoga and running. Unintended consequence of a tailoring job, I bet.
Now, two days after wearing it (it just needed to stretch out a bit!), it fits perfectly!
THANK YOU, because this skirt is my favorite, and now it fits like a gem. I’ll be back!

Murat is amazing! So fast and even finished my bridesmaid dress during this crazy October Nor’easter!!! Cannot say enough wonderful things about Murat!

I had a satin bridesmaids dress that I needed hemmed. I went in, put the dress on and he marked how high it needed to go. While I had it on he made some observations that there was too much excess material making it flow too far away from my body. I told him to go ahead and fix that as well as I took his word for it. I had my husband pick the dress up for me and later tried it on. It looks wonderful, as if no one had touched it. His suggestions made a huge difference and I am so pleased. I highly recommend him.

Murat is a tremendous discovery.12 articles of clothing in 6 two-​piece suits, tailored beautifully for $ 240. It took one week, Expert measuring and fantastic work. I highly recommend seeing Murat for your tailoring, he’s great.
