Kings Tailor

I went there to adjust my two suits. I have lost some weight and now the two suits were too big for me (from 40R to 38R). She adjust the two suits such that they now fit again perfectly. She does take a bit more time to adjust, but I was not in any hurry and very happy with the results.

I dropped my dress off on ¹¹⁄₁₉ to have it hemmed got there at 5 on ¹¹⁄₂₄ and it was not ready. The lady assured me it would be ready. After telling her to give me a refund and my dress she ask me to wait 15 minutes and it would be done. I am so disappointed with the service and the rush job. It would of been nice to get a call saying hey your dress is not ready. I will not return here they are slow and overpriced.

She fit my pants perfectly to my style, and the quality of sewing was great. I’ve been to three previous tailors, and this is definitely the best I’ve been to!

I went to King’s Tailor with nine shirts to be slimmed down at the sides. The seamstress who pinned me up was courteous and friendly, and the store’s ambiance was much enhanced by soft classical music (bravo, maestro). I did a double-​take at the price when billed — $ 18 per shirt –, but the shirts were already pinned up by that point. I went ahead with the order, somewhat disgruntled.
On the designated pick-​up day two weeks later, I went back to the shop at 4:30 p.m. Only four of the shirts were done, and I could see someone in the back working on a fifth. The seamstress from before apologized and told me to come back at 6:30 p.m. This miffed me a little (is their schedule so solid they cannot complete orders sooner than day-​of?), but it was not a major inconvenience. I came back two hours later and collected the shirts.
I do not have much experience with tailors, but the handiwork on the shirts seems exemplary. From my limited knowledge of tailoring, to slim a shirt most tailors will «dart» the garment by adding two seams at the back. The seamstress at King’s Tailor used the existing side seams to slim the shirt, no darts needed. Again, working from limited knowledge, I believe this is a more skilled and labor-​intensive way of slimming the shirt. The construction looks solid, although not enough time has passed to tell for certain. I suspect that the shirts were lightly-​pressed somewhere along the way because, suspiciously, they came back with fewer wrinkles than they had at the beginning. If you add up these positive touches, the (considerable!) extra expense may be justified.
Bottom Line: King’s Tailor was a bit pricier than I had bargained for, but the results are superb. Judging from an earlier negative review and my minor inconvenience, the staff may have trouble managing their workload. Perhaps that is a positive thing, as it implies happy repeat customers, and lots of them. I was treated well, and would return if I wanted high-​quality tailoring for an expensive garment.

I wanted to get a pair of black leather pants altered to fit a little tighter near the ankle. I came in on a Monday around 5:30pm. She seemed to have trouble pinning them, which made me slightly nervous. Once I was all pinned, I changed back into my normal clothes and went to talk price. She requested $ 60 which was a little high in my opinion but I knew it would be complicated since the pants are faux leather on the front and twill on the back. Since it was going to be more than I expected, I requested that she have them done by Thursday at 6pm and she agreed.
When I went to pick the pants up it was 5:30pm on Thrusday so I was a little ahead of our agreed time. She asked if I could come back at 6:30. When I peeked back in her workroom I saw that she hadn’t even started on the pants! I didn’t want her to rush the job so I asked for my money back.
I’m sure she would have done a great job since she has so many other good reviews, just disappointed that she agreed to a timeline she couldn’t achieve. Just make sure you have plenty of time to get your job done!

Kings tailor is superhero to save the day! I bought a green military jacket from Nordstrom but the sleeves were too big. I took them in and tried it on, didn’t have to say much. She knew what she was doing! she gives you a price and you can either pay right there or whenever you pick up your item. The time is about a week unless you need to rush the alteration. Prices is reasonable and I would use again!

Very pleased and would use again.
Doesn’t speak wonderful english but she did a beautiful job of accomplishing what I was asking for.
$ 58.45 (incl. tax) for 7 outfits:
* 24-​hour rush job to re-​do the waistline stitching in a cotton dress — great print but poor thread choice by manufacturer because I too-​easily ripped the seam the first time I tried on the online-​ordered dress.
* fixed loose top half of a lace over rayon/​spandex sheath dress — required shortening at the top of the sleeves and taking in on the sides of the bust.
* new, shorter hem on workout leggings
* re-​seam 2 ripped chiffon outfits — Did an AWESOME job since I was pretty sure one outfit was toast because the rip was so bad.
* re-​hem 2 t-​shirts

Excellent tailor and quality workmanship.

I usually test a tailor out by taking in jeans to hem with an original hem. Sounds simple enough, but I’ve learned the hard way that it isn’t as basic as you’d think it is…
I took in 2 pairs of jeans — skinny jeans so if hemmed too short, I’d constantly be walking through an invisible flood and if they were too long, they’d have this weird clump of material at the bottom making it look awkward with heels. At least to me :). Huge sigh of relief when I put them on, and they were the perfect length with hems that looked pristine and in their original condition. A word of advice for those who have never had pants hemmed, you should bring in the shoes you’ll typically be wearing with those pants (flats vs. heels, dress shoes vs. tennis shoes) or the length will be off.
The seamstress is Korean but speaks English well enough that I have confidence she’ll understand what I want. Took them in on a Sat and got them back on Wedn.
Oh, and I also tend to judge a place by how busy they seem (not always a great indicator but I gotta have something!), and there were lots of different garments hanging, ready to be picked up — cheerleader’s uniform, gowns, shirts, slacks, blazers, etc. Good enough for me!
We’ll see what she does when I take in a shapeless bridesmaid’s dress next week…

I am average height but no matter what I can’t find pants the right length, so I had to find a tailor and being new to the city I found this place via Unilocal and Heather’s review was very helpful. They did a great job and best of all VERY good prices in my opinion.

Ive gotten four things fixed here. A shirt taken in on the sides, a pair of pants, some jeans (original hem, looks great) and some pants that I think were defective, and she totally figured out what was wrong and fixed them.
English is not the number one language, and its fun trying to figure out what she is trying to say — but either way, she does a great job and I’ll totally go back when my clothes dont fit!
