La Tailor

Castle Couture had recommended this place because I had wanted the skirt of the prom dress I got from there to be shortened and less pouffy. Her shop is located in somewhat of an awkward place but the inside was pretty nice. The time of my appointment was not during one of the more busier hours and she was able to attend to me as soon as I arrived. The overall experience was quite pleasant, Sunny was friendly and very professional and worked extremely fast and efficiently. The only reason I wouldn’t give La Tailor five stars was because of the price. The alterations she had to do for my skirt was quite simple, I just wanted some of the fabric to be taken off at the bottom and take the mesh out from under the skirt and the cost of this small job was expensive. But her work was impeccable and my dress looked amazing so I would definitely recommend her if you’re ever in need of a difficult alteration, because you’ll be guaranteed amazing results.

This is the second time I’ve had to type this, so I’ll keep it short:
Pros: Sunny is a miracle worker. She did so much to my wedding dress. I looked flawless and so did my mom (she altered her dress as well). We still get compliments on the dresses.
Cons: She got four stars for two reasons. One — her work wasn’t cheap, not by a long shot. Everyone has different budgets, I know, and I didn’t have a tiny budget coming into alterations. I also understand wedding dresses need more work on them, take longer to alter, and are usually of special material. She had to do a French bustle, take in the bust, let out the hips, and put an appliqué on. I get it a million times… I sew myself (just not at her level) and I know it takes time. However, I definitely paused when she gave me the final payment amount. Good work, but it didn’t come cheaply.
She also made a comment that I didn’t appreciate at my final fitting. I actually left angry. I got over it, but I remember it vividly.
She’s an example of ‘you get what you pay for’. Once the sting of the price wore off, and I got the pictures back, I realized it was worth every penny.

My first experience was having a strapless beaded dress taken in for my daughter’s wedding. It was a lot of work and I told myself to be prepared for a good job, but not perfect. To my delight it was perfect. And not only was the fit exactly right, all the beads that fell off during the alteration were sewn back on. To top it off, the price I was charged was less than half of what I expected to pay.
My second experience was a bit more routine with the exception of cutting a skirt down from a size 14 to a size 4. Again all the items were done exactly as I wanted.
Its a 45 minute drive for me one way, but I won’t go anywhere else anymore.

As recommended by The Curvy Bride bridal salon, I visited Sunny for my wedding dress alterations and was on a tight schedule with less than 2 months until my wedding. Off the rack, my dress fit well in most areas but needed to have the tulle/​lace illusion neckline taken up a bit a bustle added as well. This is a very very small shop and often other clients stopped in without an appointment during the time I was scheduled to see her on a Saturday morning. This was frustrating when you have a short amount of time, there are pins being stuck to you, 6 impatient people watching in the same room as you waiting for poor Sunny to drop everything since they decided to just pop in unannounced (for things like months-​away prom dress alterations). For the remaining 3 fittings (of 4) I saw her during the week and had a much better experience and had her full attention. She had quoted the store owner of the Curvy Bride a certain price for the alterations needed, however, after my first fitting she relented that it would cost a bit more (~15%) since seeing how the dress fit me. I was a little upset that it would cost more than quoted and at the rushed weekend appointment but after all was said and done, she did a fantastic job and the dress fit like a dream! I would recommend.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! I have been using this tailor for over 15 years for myself and my mom. She is reasonably priced, personable and professional and there is nothing she can’t do to make your clothes fit great. Highly recommend.

I brought a bridesmaid dress here that was accidentally ordered one size too large. She made this thing fit like a glove. She is super nice, professional, fast and fairly priced. I’ve also had pants done here, and the hems held up for years.
It can be a bit difficult to find her shop, it’s off Route 79 after Marlboro High School but before the Shell gas station (on the right if you’re coming from the high school).

Best tailor in the east coast! Excellent handiwork and craftmanship, and great speed in service too. Don’t even think about going to a dry cleaners!
