The Fort Belvoir Tailor

Omg! Whatever you do please do not use this lady! I should’ve read the review first before I went. But since the recoomendation was provided by the guy working at Belvoir clothing and sales, I figured it was a reputable one, so did not bother on checking Unilocal review first.
I needed one OCP name tape and one OCP US Army. I was charged $ 20 for the that!!! Very high price, but since i wanted her to get it done in an hour, fine! I paid for it anyways, and waited ONE hour of my life that I never get back!
An hour later, we came back just to see one done but had a desert color camos, but with some green colors on it. I started questioning the lady, and she had a complete attitude about it and told me I was wrong. I told her to hold on and went back to the car and grabbed my OCP uniform I happened to have with me. Put them side by side, and sure enough, it was soooooo extremely off in color. She walked away and then came back gave me my $ 20 back and said here’s your money back, you can go somewhere else!
I am glad I got my money back, but who is paying for my lost time?! This whole process took 3 hours of the time that I could have been doing something extremely useful.
I dont understand how people can do business like that and think they can get away with it. Not i ky she blantantly denied that it was a wrong color ocp fabric, but she was extremely rude with a horrible attitude.

This place is great. She allowed me to come into the store after it had already closed and sewed the rank onto my PC in front of me in less than 5 min. The price was $ 12 which I felt was worth the quality work. I will definitely come back here whenever I need my uniforms done.

I dropped off a pair of suit pants here to be hemmed and have the inseam adjusted just a bit.
Hem, and inseam. the charge: $ 50. FIFTY DOLLARS!!!
She’s a nice lady but I will get my tailoring done somewhere else at that price.

DO NOT GO HERE! I am writing this on my wife’s account because before I went to this shop, nothing has ever bothered me enough to review.
I am a Captain in the US Army and wanted to get my OEF uniform done so I would not have to wear my old ACUs to my daughter’s school for Veteran’s Day lunch. All I needed was one top and my PC done. The lady at the shop did not have rank or Airborne wings there, so I would have had to provide those myself. No big deal there. I could easily drive down the road to get them from Clothing and Sales. She would have had to make two name plates and sew on two name plates, two ranks, one US Army plate and one Airborne wing. THE WOMAN TRIED TO CHARGE ME $ 84 FOR THIS! You did not misread that. $ 84 for one top and one PC. $ 84 to sew on six pieces.
On top of that, when I questioned the price, I told her I might have to wait for the PX if we couldn’t work on that price. She grabbed the paper and walked away and said, «Fine. Go to the PX then.» She was that rude on top of charging me $ 84. Totally unsatisfactory.
At US Patriot outside of Fort Jackson, I had three tops, one PC and one Blackhawk bag done for less than $ 30 and I didn’t have to provide anything.
Put simply, this is price gouging at its worst. She is simply taking advantage of Soldiers. I will be doing my best to get this tailor shop added to the Fort Belvoir «Do Not Go» list.
I implore you, if you care about Soldiers, please do not support this business.

Although the work was good, the tailor charged me 50.00 to sew on my dress blues service stripe. The going rate is 20.00 but I was new to town and didn’t know she charged so much. Should have asked the price in the beginning but never had someone charge me that much in all of my 32 years in the military. It’s people like this that cause problems in our economy.
