Vilair’s Boutique & Tailor

I can’t believe I’ve lived in the area for four years and haven’t came here before, this place is a hidden gem. The guy has been in business for over 40 years so you know he’s good. I came here the other day because I needed an alteration for my dress pants. Vilair measured me and was able to finish the alteration by the afternoon, and it cost me much less than most lesser quality tailors in Manhattan. If you are a Fordham student or happen to live in the area I highly recommend using Vilair.

The tailor himself, as a person, is a wonderful guy, an angel, truly a great soul. He actually sewed a pant of mine that ripped for free.
However, he ruined a suit jacket and a very expensive shirt with his haste alterations. The sleeve legnths on the jacket are insanely high and the cuffs on my shirt look like actual cuffs of fabric attached to the shirt (there’s no sense of seamlesslness).Ironically, his haste alterations took an eternity.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Ruined a Thomas Pink shirt my wife bought me for Christmas. Told me that the shortening of the sleeves would be completely unnoticeable, well … I noticed, just horrible frayed stitching every where.
There literally isn’t a single decent tailor, or dry cleaner for that matter, left in the whole bronx. I have to take all my clothes to midtown manhattan to get cleaned or altered.

A wonderful tailor! I got my dress at a sample sale so it needed major alterations and Vilar was a blessing. He altered my wedding gown, 2 inches on both sides and shortened the gown. A true expert and professional. I will be going to him again for sure. I didn’t have to come back for a second fitting, one was enough.

This man is amazing! I took my bridesmaid dress to be let out at the seams 1 day before the wedding. The dress was wayyyy too small. It was ready the very next morning… Hours before the wedding! it fit perfectly! He is a life saver and I highly recommend this boutique.
