Hong Kong Custom Tailors

I haven’t tried other establishments for alterations or tailoring so this is not a review fit for comparison to other businesses. I’ve been here 3 separate times to alter pants and 2 coats and I’ve found the attention to detail and the fit of the finished products to my liking. Therefore I’ve never bothered to find another establishment. The work is done in a timely fashion without ever any delays and the service is attentive as well as relaxed.

I recently bought a dress on a sale rack for $ 19 bucks that was more than one size too big while on vacation. I had a friend’s wedding to attending to and thought this would be a great dress for the event. I couldn’t pass up the sale! When I got home and tried it back on I realized how GIANT it was on me, probably 2 – 3 inches to be removed from the waist and an inch on the shoulders. I had never been to a tailor before but I felt that this tailor did a good job on helping me fix up this dress that would have been unwearable without the fixing.
It cost $ 58 dollars for all the alterations, but she had to do a lot to get it to fit me. It is actually a pretty high end dress (originally around $ 100) so I feel that it was worth to get it fixed so I can wear it for more times to come. Everything fit well when I tried it on, it took about 3 weeks to finish but I wasn’t in a rush so I told her whenever she could have it done.
I will say the store inside was a bit of a shock, lots of equipment, garments, children running around but she did have dressing rooms and a large mirror to point on the changes. I paid when I picked up which I thought was a good policy. I wouldn’t feel comfortable paying before I saw the changes.
My mom (who made her own prom dress back in the day!) saw the dress after it was finished and said the work was very well done but the dress was not pressed when I picked it up. I’ve attached a picture of the dress after it’s changes! If you could only see how the sack fit on me before!

I decided to finally invest in a custom suit, being frustrated with what I could find off the rack. I found Hong Kong Custom Tailors in Unilocal and it seemed to have good reviews so I gave it a try. First time that Unilocal ever gave me bad advice. They were pleasant and friendly, and took measurements, but 8 weeks later when the suit arrived, the pants and 2 additional shirts I ordered didn’t fit. My electronic Withings scale said I didn’t gain any weight — but the clothes were way too small. They were able to let out the pants but now they are… well. sagging in the seat. They added extra buttons to the shirt to keep it from popping open in the front but I don’t consider this a quality solution to the problem. I’m not fond of the quality of the fabric for the shirts — they are too thin. It cost over $ 1300 for the suit, extra pants and 2 shirts (the shirts being ~$ 175 each). They wanted to be paid in advance, so I have no recourse. The suit coat fits and looks good but the rest will be stuffed in the back of my closet.

It was a great experience. I had a bridesmaid dress I purchased at David’s Bridal and needed to have the dress shortened by a few inches and bra hooks put in so that my bra wouldn’t show. I had 3 fittings and the dress is beautiful. Steaming was included in the very reasonable price. I’ll definitely be back.

This place is EXCELLENT! I had a dress custom tailored for a wedding here and it would take a magnifying glass to tell I had it altered. I brought the dress in 2 weeks before the wedding and felt terrible about it– Hong Kong Tailors was professional, friendly, and SUPER accommodating! They even offered to go out and get the fabric themselves if the fabric I brought did not «fall right» with my gown. I am so happy I found this business and will definitely be returning!

I’m a cyclist and was super excited to look like a badass roadie in my new team kit for a big group ride in June. Got a little gutsy, took a descent WAY too fast down a hill, crashed, and got a really nasty case of road rash. To make things more exciting, I ripped a huge hole in the butt of my pretty new cycling shorts and mooned everyone on my way back to my car.
I had a race in 2 weeks and wasn’t ready to pay $ 80 for a new pair of shorts, so I took my road-​rashed shorts and my damaged ego to Hong Kong Tailors. Even brought an old pair of cycling shorts to use to patch them up, if needed. They looked at it, smirked as I told them my story, and said it wouldn’t be a problem. Why cut up the other ones when they have material that will work just fine?
I picked up the new shorts a few days later and they were as good as new! Custom tailoring for suits? Sure. Patching up bike shorts for someone who crashed her bike and is not ready to part with them? You bet! They lasted the rest of the season!

Do not come here !!! The ruined my daughters wedding dress they couldn’t figure out the bustle for her wedding dress and charged me for a hem that was crooked. I had to take it someplace else for emergency alterations and it cost me more then the wedding dress to fix the bad hem and bustle with only two days before the wedding!!! I will be filing a complaint with BBB and taking to small claims court for the faulty work and my extra expenses.

I was doing some Spring cleaning and had a bunch of pants and a suit that didn’t fit as well because I’ve lost a bit of weight and my body style has changed. So I decided to give HK Tailors a try before I took it all to donations. I had a bit of everything done, including hemming pants, bringing in waists, and slimming down the suit jacket. I’d have to say that they’ve given these clothes new life. Everything fit very well. I will definitely go back to them for all my tailoring needs. They also do custom suits and I will be exploring these options in the future.

I am so happy with the work that this establishment did on my bridesmaids dress. The dress initially fit me very badly. I dropped off my dress and 2 weeks later it fit me like a glove! I got so many compliments on the dress at my sister’s wedding!
Thank you Hong Kong Custom Tailors!

Very helpful and nice staff. Will definitely go back!

Rahima took in a strapless chiffon bridesmaid dress from David’s Bridal for $ 39 and turned it from a frumpy sack to a form-​fitting beauty I am now excited to wear. More people need to hear about this business!

I brought my 1910 grandmother’s hand-​made lace cathedral length veil to Rahimeth. No one in my family believed it could be saved. It was terribly fragile and missing some pieces. I knew I was taking a huge risk, but I didn’t have a choice (the wedding was 2 weeks away). She made it look absolutely brand new, added a comb, and invisibly gathered the tears. I can’t praise her work enough. Thank you!

I haven’t had any clothing custom-​made here, but I have had a few suits and sport coats altered by Rahima, and her work has been superlative. Keep in mind the no-​frills shop is not a showroom, it’s a family workspace, and affects a professional intimacy rather than a sales arena. Highly recommended.
