Cesar Custom Tailor Shop

Called there today to ask if they could make pajamas for me … the man who answered said that I must speak with Caesar personally … I said fine … then the man who answered the phone came back and asked if I could personally come in today at 4:30 … I thought that was presumptuous and semi-​rude. I simply said that I could not come in at 4:30 and that I could not come in at all. I just need a seamstress who will come to my home, pickup the fabric (10 yards) and make three pair of pjs for me. Why is this so difficult?

Have been going to Cesar’s for 4 years. Loved the work Cesar did and had great service. However, last year, they did a terrible job on jacket sleeves I had shortened. Went back and next time went well. Stopped today to have a suit altered. When I arrived, I was waited on promptly as I was the only one waiting. Once I changed into my suit, 3 others had arrived – all of whom were waited on while I waited and the second worker carried on a 5 min plus conversation with someone visiting the store. No one ever even looked at me while I stood waiting. Finally changed back into my clothes and left. I’ve had it – moving my alterations somewhere else. Too bad.

I love the service at Cesar’s. I used to go to the other location up 620, and they were great (hemming jeans, slacks, altering evening wear). This newer location is even more convenient for where I run my other errands so I go to the Shops at the Galleria (by ULTA, on the West end). The quality of the work has changed my perspective on buying clothing– I now look at a broader range of sizes in the store, feeling confident that the folks at Cesar’s will tailor it to my frame the way it’s supposed to fit AND feel comfortable (stop tugging on your shirt, or pants!). My size changed one year, but I really liked my shorts from the summer before, so for $ 10 a pair they took them all in & they were like new! They are quicker than Nordstrom’s tailor and will even rush next day (for a reasonable fee), and I’ve always had experienced tailors– nothing has hung wrong when done. So, go ahead and hem those jeans, get the waist fitted properly so it doesn’t gap, take your men’s suit in and protect that investment, and know that they’ve got you covered!
(Ps– I overheard another customer once who was bringing in denim to have her favorite jeans duplicated– now that’s a cool option!)

Cesar Custom Tailor Shop now has a new location. Located in the Shops at the Galleria across 71 from The Hill Country Galleria. Offering custom sewing for men, women and children. Same great service and great prices as the Lakeway location. They do it all. Alterations, repairs you name it they can do it. Highly recommended. They also have some interesting embroidered purses on display.
I don’t sew but I am glad to find people that do. Cheers !
