Janey Tailor

I have been using Janey for almost a decade now and they always do fantastic work for me, They are kind and know my name when I walk in. They have altered dozens and dozens of clothes for me with excellence.
The only downside is they are a little expensive, but the price is worth their exceptional work in my opinion.

This is my first review ever on Unilocal but felt I needed to speak out in support of Janey and her service. I have spent approximately $ 1,000 at Janey’s since 2012 when I lost 15lbs. Her pricing and workmanship from pants, shirts to suits was fantastic. Was everything perfect the first time, of course not, I had my entire wardrobe altered. I recently lost addition weight and needed to have several pair of pants altered. After reading several Unilocal reviews I was a bit wary of going back to her but I took a chance. Her cost and turn time were amazing, days instead of a week or more on the basics. Upon close inspection of the pants I had hemmed i can’t even see the where it was sewn. I compared it to the recent suits I bought at Nordstrom and the quality was as good if not better than their in house tailor.

This place is absolute garbage. I gave them extremely specific instruction for tapering an expensive pair of jeans and they ruined them to the point of where I couldn’t even wear them anymore. Some people make mistakes. Others make mistakes and don’t own up to them. File Janey Tailor as the unfortunate «others». When I went in to seek reimbursement, my honest pleas were combated by a vicious stink eye and verbal abuse by the little lady in the back who I believe to be «Janey» herself. After endless back and forth, they finally accepted defeat and reimbursed me, but not until I was told by Janey herself that I need to shower since I stink. Let me tell you something, Janey. I am hygienic and your attempt at a low blow failed. Your name is Jennifer, is «Janey» a typo?

What a terrible place! From the moment I walked in, I knew I should have turned around and gone back to Unique and waited in line. They replaced the zipper for $ 20 and then I need the dress hemmed, as well. I specifically asked them NOT to hem the lining. I picked it up 3 days later and thy said I was 1 ½ hours early. I then came back (seriously pressed for time t this point). They said my total was $ 59!!! I asked why a hem cost so much and they said they had to do the lining. I told them I specifically said to not hem the lining and they told me they had too, which meant my dress was now too short. At the same time I was there, the man was yelling at another customer about his issue, when I asked why they didn’t follow my directions they just told me to sign the receipt. I was so angry I told them I was never coming back, and he sad to me, «fine».
What is wrong with these people that they treat their customers this way. Do not take your clothes there! They do things poorly and for too much money. The alterations cost more than the dress!

I’ve been using this tailor for the last 2 years– just because Unique tailor a block away was just too crazy. I expect a lot of folks have moved over here, just out of convience. Bottom line is though, their work is very very average. They are expensive and their work is poor, and they add on fees if you use your debit or credit card without telling you before hand. Communication is not so good either– on one occasion they told me they would patch my husbands jacket (at a huge cost of $ 40) — i was expecting patches, but instead they poorly sewed the jacket arms. When I expressed my disappointment, they just looked and stared at me and didn’t offer a reduction/​apology etc. They made cushions for me another time, again poor job. Another time, they altered my dress, but had to fix it a few times before it was ready for pick up. I’ve just continued to go here out of habit, but i’m over it now and will not bother any more. Expensive and poor quality work.

I was a long-​term customer of Janey Tailor and was very disappointed when they ruined a pair of my slacks. They offered no apologies nor did they offer a refund.

Don’t waste your money! They charged me $ 10 to fix a hole smaller than a pencil eraser in a knit dress. The quality was ok, but then when I paid with a credit card they added an extra dollar to my tab as a «service fee!» This is ILLEGAL in Texas, and I will be reporting them to the Attorney General for prosecution.

Terrible place, terrible service, terrible human beings. My wife had some curtains hemmed for our nursery and they were done wrong. One was longer than the other.
My pregnant wife of 9 months went back to have them redone correctly and she was verbally assaulted and insulted by the woman tailor in back. She said that only one part was longer and repeatedly took the curtains and threw them on the ground in front of my wife. Nice. Those are for our nursery. Just what we wanted is for them to be thrown on the ground. The point here is do the work right and if not, own up to it and fix it rather than argue and abuse your customers.
Amongst the worst things she said to my 9 month pregnant wife was that she would be a bad mother. I’m not sure how anyone thinks that is ok. They are lucky I wasn’t with her.
People like this don’t deserve to be in business anywhere.

I have been going to jenny for a few years now and she has been one of the best tailors in Dallas. My mom also does alterations in houston and Moving to Dallas I was afraid I would not be able to find a seamstress that knew my preference. She has been great and and pricing is not too bad. The only thing that is an inconvenience is that is it out of the way as I live in north Dallas. Oh well.

Don’t get suits altered here. Poor quality and uneven hemming. I’ve gotten pants hemmed here before and she does a decent job but I learned the hard way when she basically ruined two suit jackets I had taken it to get altered. She was also rude about saying it was not her fault and there was nothing wrong with it. Go here at your own risk, but I would find a another place.

Poor, poor service, mediocre quality tailorship, and relativey expensive. I had been bringing my clothing here to be tailored for a few months, at the suggestion of a friend when I expressed exasperation with Unique tailor’s lines. So, I had received good and prompt service here, for slightly higher prices and more difficult parking situation, but oh well. I recently had a terrible experience with Janey, after she chastised me for a previous item that i had asked her to revise because the blazer looked WHACK, i am absolutrly never going back. She and her husband treated me like dandruff after all the work I have payed for from them. Many better options. They lost a loyal customer in me for one garmet that she wouldnt even try to do for me when i asked to see if she could do it quick for a wedding trip emergency situation. Customer service is imoortant ans I refuse to be treated so poorly.
Find some nicer people with better work ethic and customer service, than these people. Would not recommend.

I go to Janey Tailor every time I need to get my pants hemmed, shirts tapered, and suits tailored to fit. When it comes to my suits, I don’t trust anyone else except for Jennifer. I’m very particular about how my suits fit on me. I have an athletic build, so Jennifer has the best techniques to adjust the shoulders and take it in a bit around my torso so that my suit isn’t baggy or loose looking. Also, she does wonders on my shirts. I’m somewhat muscular, so it’s hard to find fitted shirts that fit me perfectly so I tend to buy modern fit shirts and have Jennifer make it fit to my build. My arms aren’t big, so some of the dress shirts she alters for me need to have the sleeves narrowed. When she cuts it and sews it back together it’s very neat looking and it doesn’t look like it was cut, which is perfect when you roll up the sleeves. Sometimes when the shirts are too long at the bottom, she will cut the bottom of the shirts, so that the shirt can be worn tucked in or untucked when I’m out with my buddies. As far for pricing, I think she is fair for the area, but there’s no price you can pay for the service and workmanship that you get. She usually gets it right the first time, but if she needs to adjust anything she will do it for free.

Janey always has impeccable work, the best in Dallas! She is also extremely quick! Whether you’re altering pants, a boyfriend jacket, or a fitted skirt, she has an eye for fit and years of experience that is hard to come by. I’ve had my clothes altered by other tailors before, and they do not come even close to the level of skill and detail that I’ve seen with my alterations here. Whether you’re looking to get more formal or everyday clothing altered, there’s nowhere else in town that will do better!

I’ve been coming here for 2 years probably spending about 75/​mo on average, and unfortunately, this place has never acknowledged or rewarded me for being a loyal customer. If anything, they have gotten increasingly greedy, charging me for nearly every stitch. The husband is extremely abrasive and difficult to deal with. The quality of their work is average. I’m not coming back.

Janey rules. Seriously, I will not bring my clothes anywhere else. No chance. Janey has altered 2 bridesmaid dresses for me (ones that had many layers and needed a lot of work) and I have never paid more than $ 50 for them. Of course, non-​specialty items are cheaper– but man, if you have been in a wedding before, you know those hideous dress alterations can be almost ½ the price of the dress!!!
A few of my friends and I come here religiously. No frills, just good work and you will be in and out of there in record time.

One of the side effects of working out is that you have to get your clothes altered. I always take a huge stack of clothes to Jenny tailor. It isn’t too expensive and they are always patient when I bring in 10 items to be resized or hemmed all at once. She also hems jeans and leaves the original hem at the bottom. Usually takes a week for me to get my stuff back, but then, I always bring in a lot of stuff.
