Adam Tailoring & Alterations

This review is waaay overdo! I had an amazing experience at Adam’s for my wedding. Everyone was friendly and super helpful. And their pricing is also amazing. I had all of my bridesmaids Ao Dai custom made here, they all looked great in it! I also had my wedding dress hemmed here, and I don’t know how she did it because there was a ton of beads and lace at the bottom but once she was done you couldn’t even tell. Not to mention I picked up my dress and ao dai 2 days before the wedding at 11pm! I felt so bad but apparently they work around the clock during wedding seasons! I have recommended this place to many people and everyone is always satisfied. Thank you Adam’s tailoring!!!

Yes, I can definitely understand why all my buddies recommend this place for alterations. These ladies know what they’re doing and the pricing is very reasonable! Have used them once so far (for two items) and I’ll be going back for sure after I clean my closet and uncover more stuff that needs work.

The fact that I took out the time to sign up for an account so I can complain about my experience should say a lot already — the WORST customer service ever! My sisters and I were completely ignored in the store the whole time. They didn’t look like they wanted to sell us the ao dai we wanted. They made up a lot of excuses so we couldn’t try them on. But yet, they were really nice to others who came into their store for clothes alteration. I was so angry walking out of that store. All I wanted to do was buy a wedding ao dai, but that experience was definitely not worth the frustration!
If you want to buy ao dai there, just don’t do there. They were completely rude. It’s not worth your time and energy.

I had my traditional Ao Dai custom made at Adam Tailor, and it fit perfect on the first try. My sisters have also had Ao Dai’s made here for their weddings, and all were also well fitted. This is a great family business that I highly recommend. I will definitely be back for any other types of alterations.

This place is amazing. The best service I could ever imagine. I came here to alter 4 wedding dresses, and each one looked amazing. Another alternation shop charged me the same price for only 1 dress. They were so patient and did everything they could to make each adjustment just perfect. I’m such a perfectionist and they never hesitated to help me get the exact look. I would recommend this spot in a heartbeat!

Considering that I only had 2 weeks left before the engagement ceremony and no pink ao dai in my wardrobe, the fact that I was able to find one that I like was awesome! I had to do A LOT of digging however, bypassing the dresses that were either way too bedazzled or way too pink for my taste. The dress I ended up getting was perfect — a bit overpriced in my opinion but ehh, they got to make a living right? — and the manager was able to customise the sleeves the way I wanted at no extra charge.
The service itself was okay. Again, the manager was great when she was helping us, always asking if the dress fitted correctly and if I needed any further alterations. Her two helpers, on the other hand, were a little less accommodating and a bit unfriendly. Maybe it was just an off day for them but I did not feel welcomed. Overall though, I had a satisfying experience.
Also, hat rentals are available for $ 10 with a $ 30 deposit.

As you walk through the door you will definitely notice the clutter of all the various Vietnamese traditional dresses and clothes they offer or were altering but don’t let the clutterness throw you off.
I was recommended this tailor from a coworker and decided to check them out. I got two pairs of jeans hemmed here. The workers were very nice and sweet. They just instructed I go into the fitting room put on the pants and have them measure how much I wanted to get taken off. This process was quick and easy, I was in and out within 10 min.
They have given me a pickup date of about a week later. When I came back I was asked to try the pants on to make sure they were to my fitting which they were. Although I had to wait for the fitting rooms to clear up because they were really busy, they were really nice in just making sure I was ok. The price of of the alterations were super cheap about $ 10 per pair of pants for hemming. I would definitely recommend this place to other people.

I’ve been coming here for years. The ladies here are very friendly and prompt.
PROS:
The prices are very affordable for the quality of work that they provide. I brought a few items to be hemmed costing only about $ 8-​$ 10 less per item.
I had my traditional Vietnamese dress (Ao Dai) made for my engagement ceremony along with six of my bridesmaids. She has many different fabric samples to choose from. All the dresses were beautiful and were fitted perfectly. The bridesmaids dresses were around $ 50 and since mines that more designs, it came up to around $ 65.
They also provide items that you can rent for the traditional Vietnamese engagement/​wedding ceremony.
I also had my wedding dress and evening gown for my wedding altered there as well. I had taken my wedding dress to a couple of other alterations and they prices that were quoted were around $ 200-​$ 300. She only charged me $ 180 to have both my wedding dress and evening gown altered.
I’ve never been disappointed in the quality of work that they provide.
CONS:
Every now and then they wouldn’t make the deadline that was promised. They were very prompt on finishing all dresses for my wedding but they tend to be late on some casual clothing items that i bring in.
Street Parking can be hard to find.
It’s a very small store filled with many dresses and accessories so it can be very crowded at times.
TIP:
I would call them a day before your item is ready to make sure you will receive it on time.

This place is affordable for the good quality of alterations. The ladies I’ve interacted with are nice. Sometimes there’s a bit of a language barrier but nothing that hinders the experience or the end result in the tailored clothes.
I’ve brought in multiple business casual clothing items along with a couple of dresses. I typically have item taken in or hemmed, all of which are reasonable prices typically costing me $ 10 or less. I also referred all of my bridesmaids to go here to get there dress hemmed and all were happy with it. I also had a custom made white lace ao dai made for my wedding to wear in the later half of our reception, but unfortunately I forgot to wear it! At least I have a beautiful ao dai to wear down the road. It was fun being able to look through pictures and the various ao dai in the store and pick and choose colors, fabrics, and lace.
It’s certainly a small place, making it hard to maneuver through the store. But it’s manageable. They accept credit card. Street parking can be busy at times, so just park in a neighborhood 1 block north or somewhere else nearby.

I went here in August, upon the reviews I thought my experience would be great. I let the older lady (mngr) knw I needed alterations completed promptly. I gave them a week’s time to finish since going out of twn. I tried on all of my clothes explained in detail what I want done she put pins in each area. I had 2 jumpsuits. I needed one to be taken dwn a bit it was too long, each time I told her needed it shorter she’d say no when you wear heels it will be too high… I told her I don’t wear any. Also needed the neckline sewed b/​c plunged too low. The other jumpsuit had a zipper in back I needed overall taking in on the item, she gave a huge sigh as if I was inconveniencing her since wld hve to tke out zipper when taking in.3^rd item was romper which had hollow back. Specifically asked since enough fabric was avail to close the back part that was open, she said ok ill do it for you. 4^th item was summer dress which was the only item I was slightly satisfied with. When I went to pick up there was a pin still present on the jumpsuit I needed to sewn in neckline and my romper hollow back was not closed in as agreed and my third jumpsuit was still loose and long for me… I was highly upset their only comeback was they can fix with more time which I didn’t hve. They didn’t bother to reduce the charge which I thought was ludicrous, paid $ 65 for jst mediocre job. They argued back with me as if I was at fault. Definitely a no go, no more.

Have been going to this place for years now, starting back when I used to live right around the corner in the Mt. Baker neighborhood. Even after moving a bit farther north, I’ve continued to come back here for the quick turnaround time, great prices, and quality work. It definitely helps that it’s not far from where I work.
Anyway, today I went in to drop off a garment for a small stitching job. Expecting to come back and pick it up later today or tomorrow for a couple bucks, the gal stopped what she was doing, stitched it up on the spot and handed it back to me moments later for no cost. At all! Great customer service and perhaps a small gesture, as it was just a quick fix, but definitely something I will remember and keep in mind next time I need a tailoring job (big or small). Have always been impressed with this place, always seems to be busy, staff are friendly and take time for all of their customers. I highly recommend.

I needed some alterations done, and took my suit jackets and pants here on the recommendation of a friend.
These ladies are awesome! They totally ‘get it.’ Several tailors have tried to talk me out of certain alterations saying ‘you won’t be comfortable if it’s that tight…’ etc. Well I’m not a 300 pound banker in a pinstripe suit, I’m a young guy who likes tailored clothing with a slim fit.
They took in several jackets and even an overcoat with a thick lining, and all of the changes were perfect the first time.
They especially did a fantastic job on some selvedge jeans that were slightly too baggy, I wanted the legs tapered and they were able to get a great fit without altering the selvedge (outside) seams, they took the legs in from the inside seam!
Long story short, don’t be afraid to take your nice tailored clothes in here to get the fit you want. I was pretty amazed with their work, and it’s all very reasonably priced. Will be back whenever I need the help of a tailor! Thanks ladies! — Geoff

From jeans to wedding dresses, you can trust the ladies at Adam Tailor to take good care of you, and for great prices. I bought my wedding dress at a sample sale elsewhere, and wasn’t at all interested in paying half the cost of the dress to get it taken in. I had already taken some jeans and a pencil skirt to Adam Tailor and loved their work, so I went back to get a quote for my dress. I was so shocked at how good of a deal it was, and when I returned, I was overjoyed with the results. I highly recommend them!

Got 3 pairs of jeans hemmed here in just under a week for $ 30. They were very professional and friendly (all ladies and all super sweet), and they did a bang up job, especially on my R13s, which i was nervous to have any joe blow mess with. Anyways, I’m super happy with the results and will be using them for future alterations. There is plenty of street parking and it’s an easy location to get to. There are a lot of dresses in the shop and it is a small space, but that didn’t bother me — they have dressing rooms with actual doors and lights, and orders are arranged by last name on a rack.
The other things that I appreciated was that they talked me out of an original hem on a pair of skinnies (saving me money!) because they thought the leg would end up being too tiny. Thank you!

Go here. They’re cheap, quick, and they do great work. I took in a dress that needed to have the straps shortened. It was only $ 12 and the dress fits me perfectly now.
Adam Tailoring is tucked away in a random house on Rainier… blink and you might accidentally drive past it. Just know that if you hit the funeral home, you’ve gone too far.
Even though the location is a little awkward, I’ll definitely be coming back here for all my tailoring needs. YES, the place is packed with dresses, but they also have two legit dressing rooms (you know, with actual doors instead of curtains) which I really appreciate. The women who run the place are super friendly. What more can you ask for?

Thank you Unilocalers! I needed a bunch of items sowed and it was only 2 $ per item. Great prices and on time.

Once again — Thank-​you, Unilocalers!
I needed a bridesmaid dress altered in a very short time frame (one week!), so I scoured through Unilocal to find the top rated tailors in the area. Some did not respond, some refused to take any bridesmaid dresses because they could get more money for wedding dresses, and some were simply far too expensive.
Not Adam Tailoring & Alterations. $ 40 for a hem, bust area reduction, and altered belt! Others were quoting me close to or above $ 100! Such friendly service and great work done on the dress — exactly what we discussed. I forgot to call and check, but I came in after 3:30 on the day it was set to be done like they told me and it was ready to go. I am so pleased with my experience here!
I can’t believe people would take off stars for the fact that their store is full of dresses and clothes to be altered. They also sell off the rack Ao Dai dresses as well as custom made dresses, so that takes up part of their storefront. The rest is full because they are busy — and justly so! Both times I was in, they were very busy, but after a few minute’s wait, I was able to try the dress on and receive personal and friendly attention. Also: Parking was street parking (hey, this is Seattle) and a small lot and not a problem at all.
I will never go anywhere else in the area and will recommend this place to everyone I know!

I came to Adam Tailoring based on Unilocal reviews and it’s proximity to my house.
Parking here is kind of awful. They only have street parking and once you’re on Rainier, it’s almost impossible to turn around with out making a million left turns to get back the other direction.
Upon entering their store, you’re over whelmed by how packed it is. They have TONS of Asian dresses, prom dresses, wedding dresses, etc all crammed inside.
I was alittle worried they could possibly lose/​misplace my order, but in the end they didn’t.
I had 1 chiffon dress that needed more room in the arm pit area. I believe I had asked the gal to just make the hole bigger by opening up the hem. I have a vague memory of her saying she would add more fabric to that area (which isn’t what i wanted). But I was a little intimidated by the chaos of the shop, the language barrier, and my lack of knowledge with altering clothing that I just nodded/​smiled and waited to see the end result.
When I got my dress back she indeed added more fabric to the arm pit area. It fits just fine but i feel it looks strange if someone was to notice this. But it’s all black and not really noticeable. C’est la vie
My second item was an chiffon/​polyester asymmetrical shirt/​dress that needed to be let out near the bottom hem, on one side, to accommodate my hips. I tried it on (they have a little dressing room), showed her how high the slit needed to go and she fixed it perfectly. I’m really happy with how it turned out.
They were able to accommodate the date I needed my items back by and the price was reasonable ($ 14). However, they didn’t ask me to try anything on after they were altered. I was worried something would be wrong when i got home and would have to return. Thankfully everything was fine after the first go.
I will consider coming back if I ever need anything altered. But I will make sure to be very specific in my request and ask for clarification to push away any concern i may have.

I’m VERY impressed by the service and pricing I received.
Took 4 pairs of pants with varying degrees of difficulty (no lining, though), $ 8/​ea. They told me a week at the time I dropped off the pants, but 1 week came around and someone called to ask when I would pick up the pants (as two pairs weren’t completed yet).
I was impressed that they called, since other less expensive places I’ve been to wouldn’t even bother.
Of course, being someone that lives in China part-​time, $ 8/​ea is tremendous compared to the $ 0.63/ea I can get in China. But Adam is probably one of the cheaper and more professional tailors around. Would definitely go back again.

this place rocks! $ 12 to hem my party dress last minute during wedding season. amazing! And it wasn’t an easy hem either. I was in and out in 5 minutes.
Will make this my go-​to place for alterations from now on!
