Grace’s Tailor Shop

This place is great!!! It was extremely affordable! I brought in my 2 jackets (one with a pocket that needed sewn and the other one was a nice, heavy, J. Crew winter jacket with large buttons on the front with seamless threading on the inside that all needed reinforced) and it was no problem for her. I was really impressed with the service and price.

I found this place via other Unilocal reviews and needed to get a chiffon bridesmaid dress both hemmed and tailored. I only had 7 days before the wedding so I needed some place that I thought wouldn’t mess it up because I wouldn’t have time to fix it. For starters, the owner was extremely nice and professional and the store itself was comfortable to change in. I never received a price quote for the job but at that point I didn’t have many options. She spent about 30 minutes taking my measurements and was very thorough.
When I picked the dress up, the hem job was done perfectly (4 layers of fabric), but the rest was entirely too small. I could barely barely get it zipped up, it gave me a back «muffin top», and the shoulder strap was so tight it was digging into my shoulder. The shoulder strap even ripped during the reception. On top of that, she charged me $ 140. That’s right. $ 140. Will not return.

This is truly an excellent tailor shop, one that I would highly recommend you visit for all your tailoring needs. The quality of work is without a doubt top notch and totally professional. The pricing is absolutely attractive in light of the exceptional attention to detail. Work I have had done here includes full altering of suit coats, suit pants, and dress shirts. Grace is incredibly nice. You will be very happy, I guarantee it.

I love this business so much that I feel obligated to write my first Unilocal review. My clothes have been perfect every time. She accommodated me during a very tight schedule when I was in a bind. Mostly you just want your clothes to come out fitting well, but what you get from the people here is a warmth that makes you feel cared for. I give this place one million stars!

I have been a patron of Grace’s Tailor Shop for 9 years, and have received consistently excellent service. Most recently, Grace assisted me with selection of a suit for my wedding. As the tailor for the Quality Shop, she happened to be present when I tried on the three suit models that were final contenders. She helped me understand the tailoring challenges one posed, and made the final decision an easy one. Her tailoring was spot on, with two fittings to make sure all was as it should be. My suit was ready earlier than promised, and looked great! Thank you Grace!

I had a dress that I wanted hemmed and I thought this would be a good way to try a tailor before getting two bridesmaid dresses altered later this year. Grace’s had great reviews, so I gave them a shot and I am so happy I did! Fair prices, quality work, and my garment was steamed and ready to go very quickly. Everyone in the shop was friendly and courteous. I’ll definitely be recommending this shop to friends.

Had a pair if pants with a bad hem that needed repair. Not only was it done on time and professionally, but the cost was fair. So many businesses don’t do what they say they will do but Graces had flawless service.

BEST tailor shop in town. I had 10 pants I needed hemmed and taken out and she did a wonderful job. I’m never going any place else!

I’ve never done a Unilocal review but felt I needed to because it is what brought me to Grace’s. I had a bad tailoring done in Williamsburg and went to Graces to fix it and do my new suit. She was very sweet and took the time to walk through every step of what needed to be done, and what I should even do at all. The tailoring came out great, and the staff is very nice.

Grace and her staff are wonderful. They do great work and always have it done when they say they will. I’ve referred many friends to Grace and all of them have been pleased.

Fantastic work and fast! I got five pairs of work pants taken up. $ 15 per pair. I was happy to pay. No further adjustments were needed, but I was told to come right back if they were too short or too long to be altered at no additional cost. Great customer service!

My youngest son recently started taekwondo and we needed to get a small patch sewn onto his uniform. After watching a few youtube videos trying to learn how to do it myself, I decided it would be best to leave it to professionals.
I was in Norfolk, went to Unilocal,and found Grace’s. I called and the lady I spoke with said she would be able to get it right away if I brought it in. I brought it to her and she told me it would be about five minutes. I had a few errands to run and told her I’d come back by afterward. When I came back, it was done, looked great, and the price was better than I could have asked for.
I definitely plan to recommend Grace’s to anyone who might need a tailor in Norfolk and also plan to frequent this business in the future with my tailoring needs. Thank you for your quick work and for making my seven year old son very happy!

DO NOT USE THIS SHOP.
She is dishonest and has ruined my property. She is a liar and will pretend to be nice, but she will cheat you.
I have personally be cheated by her for over $ 2,000.

Great place. I got my evening gown and my husband’s uniform altered at the last minute and she was able to turn it around within a few days for us. Super sweet and nice lady. It is on the pricy side. I would rather pay the price to get it altered right when ruining a dress that I paid a fortune for.

Bam! Super nice lady with thread and needle right there at the door to fix my ripped suit pants while I grabbed breakfast.

My fiancé needed his suit to be completely fitted — from the jacket to the pants. We brought the suit in at 3:50PM on Thursday (shop closes at 4:00PM) and needed it the next day before closing.
Grace (I believe that’s the shop owner?) assured us that this would be no problem. In fact, we ended up getting the suit around 2PM the next day and it was perfectly done. It was also steamed and ironed so it looked ready to wear.
We were completely satisfied with the service and I can definitely trust this place to bring items in for alteration. The only reason this place doesn’t get 5 stars is because we paid $ 88 for the alteration. This is extremely steep but given the circumstances that $ 88 were well spent.

This place is awesome! My husband and brother in law had some custom suits made in Reston, VA by Davelle’s. Well, long story short, they came out horribly wrong. (see review for that store) Grace and her assistant practically took the whole suit apart and re-​stiched it to make it look like a suit is supposed to fit. We are talking MAJOR alterations, not just a cuff shorted here and there. She even took apart the stitching that was right but was machine sewn and re-​stiched it by hand so that it would have the quality of a hand-​made custom suit. She did all this in a few hours the day before the wedding! She had my husband and brother in law come in at 730am so that she could take proper measurements and have time to make the alterations before the wedding. What a sweet lady! She did an awesome job and it didn’t even cost that much.
