Gloria Alterations

I was so excited to come in considering the decent reviews that this place has. Let me just warn you that if you do not want your clothes smelling like cigarette after you pick them up then this is not the place for you.
When I first came in to have my work suits altered I was pleased to meet the owner who was extremely nice and really focused on getting the right measurements for my clothes. I felt happy that she was careful and attentive. As a few of the reviews mentioned, this place is NOT cheap. So if you are not willing to pay a few extra dollars then this place is absolutely not for you. I have to admit that the owner was accommodating. I brought in two blazers and two suit pants (to be adjusted at the waist and length) on a Tuesday and she had them ready by Saturday.
Fast forward to pick up day — I walk in and the place smells like cigarettes. .. I instantly felt annoyed, because it makes absolutely no sense that a place that deals with clothing smells like cigarettes. I got my clothes, got home and the moment I removed the plastic bag the smell was just overwhelming. I was so disappointed and COULD NOT believe that they mishandled my clothing in such a way. I decided to just «air them out» since I did not have any other option at that point. Thankfully, everything fitted well. However, when I was going to wash the pants I realized that the bottom was poorly done. It seemed like they sow it by hand and only sow around the bottom ONCE. I feel like it is only a matter of time until it comes off.
As time goes by I find more and more wrong details with the quality of the job done here. Absolutely never coming back here. Also, cash or checks ONLY.

My husband only goes here. The owners are pleasant to deal with. The cost of altering slacks or a suit is not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. You get an excellent job. Your garments fit you correctly. The cost of the job is told to you when the ticket is handed to you and they do ask for partial payment at the time the pins are placed and the measurements are made. You will not be disappointed. Parking is plentiful.

Gloria altered my coat just days before Christmas. She was speedy, reliable and affordable. I will definitely go back for other alterations.

Such a great experience with my dress alterations, very professional & friendly. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

My daughter’s wedding gown was altered by Gloria. I should have asked the price in advance. Needless to say I was taken aback by the charges. The bill was more than $ 500.
The dress looked beautiful. However, straight pins had not been removed.
While dressing for her shining moment my daughter was unpleasantly surprised by the remaining hardware.
Gloria is capable and charming. She is a skilled worker and there is no excuse regarding the failure to remove the pins.

I got my dress altered for my October wedding here. The alterations were done perfectly and she even sewed my sash on to my dress for free on the day I went to pick it up AND she steamed my veil free of charge. I do think I may have paid too much but I waited until the last minute to get the dress altered so I just threw money at the problem lol. They don’t itemize their alterations at all. They just give you a price and you have to decide if it seems plausible. All in all, I had a positive experience. Gloria was always very polite and I liked that she took her time to explain how the bustle worked to my mother in law.
I’d recommend them to anyone.

I went to Gloria for my bridal gown alteration after looking at such great Unilocal reviews, but let me tell you, it is not worth.
Pros:
1. She did a good job altering my bridal gown.
Cons:
1. Very rude! I just asked her a question about how exactly the lace alteration will be done and I was just trying to understand how it is done (well she charged me hell lot of money saying she will have to alter the lace at the bottom), she said I have been doing this for years and I know how to do it. So what, I can’t even ask you?
She was also verrry rude to my mother when she showed her an ill-​fitted button during my trial. The whole time I was scared to talk to her as my gown was in her hands and din’t want to ruin that.
2. Way toooo expensive, I should have done more research rather than just seeing the reviews here and going to her and finalizing.
3. The worst part — Even after telling her and her husband specifically that I will need the left-​over material from my dress (I am 5ft tall, my gown was 6ft tall ball gown with multiple beautiful lace layers), she did not save any!!! All she gave me was a few inches of tulle. I was furious when I picked up my dress, I tried not to let this ruin my big day.
I have learnt multiple life lessons through this experience, hope you don’t have to go through this.

My mom, sister and I have all been coming to Gloria for tailoring for years. I’ve brought in casual and formal clothing needing different kinds of alterations and have never been disappointed. She does great work, and the service is extremely friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I still bring tricky alterations here even though I live about an hour away now. If you’re looking for a tailor, I absolutely recommend coming here.

Not only did they get my wedding dress to fit perfectly they were affordable and beyond lovely to deal with.
Recommend highly for any Long Island brides.
