Mode Custom Tailor & Formal Wear

Got my husband/​groomsman suits for my wedding! The shop is small and the owner does look unorganized however he is very good. I never wait until the last minute so I made sure that I got the suits within enough time in case their was a problem. Prices were good and the fit was picture perfect. Thanks for making one less stressful thing about my wedding…

Expert work, fair prices. I’ve gotten a number a shirts tailored by Mr. Kim. Quick turnaround when needed, but he’s always had it done under a week. A hidden gem.

Mr Kim and his tailor business is 5 star, shout from the roof tops, face book official wonderfully amazing.
I was a little put off by the fact that it is a huge mess and also where it is located. PG plaza isn’t know for the best things but Mr Kim!!! What a life saver.
I brought him in 2 pair of pants that were way to long and the legs were a bit to wide on a Monday afternoon. I brought the shoes I planned to wear with them and tried the pants on in one of the 2 small dressing rooms he has. Mr Kim helped me on to the platform and quickly pinned my pants to a perfect length and width only after ensuring that I was happy with them.
I asked if they would we ready on Friday afternoon and was ensured they would be. He required 50% deposit, but I just payed in full, $ 27. Picked up my pants on Friday and they were perfect. I am very happy with what was done. My new go to place for all my tailoring needs!!!

My new go to, just impeccable, so reasonable and amazing quality. I have been to a few places around the city and this is better quality at half the price. The owner is a sweetheart, extremely good customer service, has been in business forever and clearly has a client base to show for it. I had an emergency hemming for a formal dress for a wedding and not only did he do it with only a few days turn around, didn’t charge me an arm and a leg for it, but also did other work (put in straps for more comfort as the dress is strapless and I need all the lift I can get) to the dress as well. Also had him do alterations for suits and other work attire and same amazing quality, quick turn around, and reasonable price. Will be bringing him basically everything I own.

Lesson — Don’t judge by appearances. So, I know what you’re thinking: Beltway Plaza and the shop is tucked away in the corner on the same side as the Naughty Boutique. (You know what I mean, don’t lie. OK, also the Target side.)
I’ve never had clothing altered and now I think I’ve been spoiled. I walked in with a skirt that was a few sizes too large. After maybe … five minutes Mr. Kim had pinned it and made sure that the design (a huge flower on front and back) was centered properly. (As someone who has been trying to teach herself to sew for years, I was perhaps a leetle jealous.)
I left him the skirt and a small deposit. I came back one week later and you can not tell the skirt had been altered. It looks great, fits great, and was not at all expensive to have done.

Mr Kim is an awesomely sweet guy. His prices are extremely reasonable compared to other tailors and suite rentals.

the owner is very nice and accommodating. he altered a bridesmaid dress for me and did a great job that was cheaper to the 2 other price estimates i had gotten. highly recommend.

Awesome job!
I took in a suit and a pair of jeans to be tailored.
The suit jacket needed the most work as both seams in back had to be taken in all the way down– that was $ 32. The suit pants needed to be taken in at the waist and cuffed– those were $ 12. And the jeans were $ 20 to be taken in at the waist but Mr. Kim explained it was expensive because they have a special double seam– they’re horseback riding jeans that I bought out west.
So it was a little more expensive than I would have preferred but the items were well worth it and he did a perfect job. I was in no rush so he had them done in a week. I paid half up front.
Mr. Kim is the most soft spoken person you will ever meet but he’s super friendly.
I’m definitely going back to get an un-​returnable dress fitted right and the pair of suit pants I had him work on probably needs adjustment on the leg width which I didn’t ask him to fix up the first time.

Mr. Kim’s service is perfect and the price is very reasonable.

Best way to alteration for a new suit. Good people and good threads.
Very Honest and Friendly Tailor.

Great tailor place! I was moving out of the state and need to have two pants altered before I left (really tight schedule). Kim was friendly, punctual and he cares about his customers! My boyfriend still lives in the area, so I’ll definitely go back when I need the service again.

Mr. Kim is great. He is very friendly and offers excellent customer service. My brother and I have been to many tailors, and to get Mr. Kim’s service and quality we would be paying much more in D.C. In addition to that, he is cheaper and we bring quite a bit of our clothes to him for alterations.
(sometimes he can get really busy for events such as prom so I generally come in on his down hours by talking to him or walking around the mall and coming back after the line shortens which is very convenient).
I highly recommend people to come here, he’s well worth commuting out from D.C. if you have quite a bit of clothes to tailor affordable and great quality alternations!

When my exchange student was able at the last minute to go to prom, we frantically found a suit for him to wear, but it needed a bigger hem job on the pants that I felt comfortable doing. I called Mode up in the morning, and they agreed to do it that day, despite it being graduation, prom and wedding season. He even left the length on the pants in case they needed to be let down as the young man grew. The charge was $ 20 for adding a button to the suit coat, and hemming the pants 3 inches. He was done that day and they looked great. Very good customer service!

Best tailor in town. Took him a few shirts and he was very friendly and customer service oriented. Very fair pricing. One man shop with 30 years of experience. I’ll never go anywhere else.

The staff was helpful and my pants were shortened pefectly and on time

Scientist or engineer at Goddard? Be sure to have a smart stye too and have your clothes properly tailored, I do. This is a convenient location most commutes to/​from campus. Great pricing as well.

I get anxiety when I go to this place. When you walk in, he’s usually busy with a customer, and there might be people already waiting, and the place is so small there’s no where to make a line. I’ve been there maybe three or four times already and he doesn’t acknowledge people when they walk in. Some people are patient and they wait, and some people are more aggressive or perhaps just less observant and cut the «line». I think this would be solved if he would just look up when customers walk in and acknowledge them, let them know he has other customers waiting for him and after he helps them he will help you.
Aside from that, he’s kind, and very efficient. He did a suit jacket for me and the work was very clean and you could not tell it was altered at all. He also did a few pairs of pants for me in the waist and on one or two he forgot to put the label back on the pants. He didn’t pay attention to detail. Also, when he does his pricing it can feel a little random, though I think it is about average for the metro area. You might save five dollars for one type of alteration but pay five dollars more for a different type as compared to other tailors in the area.
Also, one time, he promised me an alteration would be ready by a certain date. I explained to him beforehand I had an event to go to and I would like it for that date. It was about four days before the event. He agreed to have it ready, said, «No problem, I can do it,» but when I came to pick it up, it was not ready. All I got was, «I’m sorry.»
I go back to him because it’s just a «stick with the devil you know» kind of thing, and it’s on my way to and from work. It’s also in a big plaza so I can group my errands so it’s pretty convenient.

Great prices! He is cheaper about $ 10 – 15 per jacket suit, I’ve been to tailors all over the DMV area from Springfield, VA to MD areas, this guy is my favorite and now the only tailor is go to!
Quick service, great quality, and GREAT prices. Highly recommended!
Kevin is my main tailor and I am happy to spend over thousands of $ with him! He is very honest and very accommodating; he does his best to help you even when he is extremely busy (hint: you have to call him multiple times for him to have time to answer the phone!). That’s a good sign! Busy = great place!

Let’s see… how did I find this place? I think I used Google or something. I kept reading all these reviews for a great tailor in Alexandria, VA but I needed something a little closer to home. People wrote nothing but wonderful things about this tailor at Mode. Upon my first visit, I see why.
When you meet this man he has a warm smile and friendly disposition. Its only him running this store and he does a great job of juggling his customers with his work. He is very humble and appreciative for your business.
When I walked in, he was assisting another gentleman but he stopped and immediately acknowledged me. He told me that he would be right with me. I dropped off a dress, jeans and some slacks. All of which were stitched exceptionally when I returned to pick them up. My total was $ 50 which I assume is decent for this area. Ive paid $ 20 (at a different shop in MD) for alterations on one pair of pants. Granted it only costs $ 10 for the same alterations in Atlanta but oh well im not there! lol
I definitely think that Mode Custom Tailoring Shop is worth it! You will experience excellent service and tailoring for a decent price.
