Town & Country Tailors

Manuel was sweet and so incredibly helpful. I came to him with an emergency alteration for an out of town wedding that I needed done in 24 hours and he not only got it done perfectly but for a really great price. I would recommend his services to anyone. I will definitely be back!

I’m so happy that I took my wedding dress to Memorial Tailors! I was nervous to alter the dress, but Mario explained everything to me, and even gave advice on how the dress should be altered to fit best. The bustle was absolutely perfect, along with the length and total fit. I received my wedding pictures yesterday, and I was in awe of the dress. I have also had beautiful results from night club dresses and swimwear that I took to Memorial Tailors. I will never go anywhere else!

I have taken a few different things to this tailor for various adjustments (shortening of new pant legs, taking in dresses and skirts at the waist and sleeves, fixing dress straps, taking in a pair of formal pants). I wanted to find a shop that was decently reviewed and close to my office so that I could take care of this errand during my lunch breaks and this shop seemed to fit the bill. I have never been let down by the quality of the work — I have taken at least 6 different pieces to the shop and all have been altered without issue. The owner is very nice and remembers me when I come in, asks me how my day was, exchanges niceties which is sometimes lost today. I am not sure about standard prices for these sort of things, but a few of my requests were not as easy as shortening pant legs, so I believe everything was priced fairly, especially considering the price of buying a new pair of the same pants/​the same dresses in a smaller size.
I will, and have, continue to use this shop as long as he continues to deliver!

If you had asked me a month ago, I would have given them 4 or maybe even 5 stars.
The work that is done is a ⁴⁄₅.
The pricing can be questionable at best.
First time: I came in with a dress that I needed taken in a little bit.
Price: $ 10. I found that really reasonable.
Second time: I came in with two dresses (pictures posted).
Price: I was originally quoted $ 15 for the pink dress and $ 18 for the black and green dress. The day I came to pick up my dresses, he rang me up for $ 60. I reminded him of the prices he had originally quoted me and he said «oh… okay… then $ 37.99.» Technically $ 15+$ 18 = $ 33, but fine. An extra $ 5 is better than an extra $ 27.
So based on the experience I had with the gross overpricing when I came to pick up my dresses, I had to take away a star.
On the other hand, of the five times I came by here, I can say there were at least one (if not two) other customers here picking up or dropping off clothes for minor alterations. So other people seem to be fine with the pricing.
Side note: I asked him to estimate how much sewing me a blazer from scratch would cost, and he estimated $ 400-​$ 450. I had asked a lady at a dry cleaning /​alterations place a few days earlier and she had estimated $ 60. I don’t know the kind of work that she does, but those are two very different prices.

After moving away from the NW side of Houston, it’s hard for me to continue going to my trusty tailor up North. Stephen Y needed to get some jeans altered, and I needed to get some dresses and shirts altered, so I needed to find a tailor close to where I live. I did some Unilocaling and saw there was a little tailor shop literally 1 minute from me (I could have walked there, but I was lazy and it was hot outside). This little shop is Hispanic owned, and the guy is very nice (I think his name is Manuel?).
He charged Stephen Y around $ 8 – 10 each for hemming his jeans which I thought was very reasonable. He also charged me around $ 8 – 10 altering each of my items (I had a tear in a dress that he fixed, a shirt taken in some, and straps on a dress taken in). I thought all of his prices seemed reasonable, and he takes credit card.
I was not in a rush to get any of my items back, so we asked if we could come back in a week. I am sure if I wanted them back quicker, he would have been able to do that. When we went back to pick up our items, my shirt was still a little loose, so he told me that he would get his seamstress to take the shirt in more. He was very accommodating and told me to come back the next day to get my shirt.
I will be coming here for all of my alteration needs!
