Thimble Tailoring & Clothier

I chose to come to Thimble because of the positive reviews online. I brought them a very complicated project, and the staff was indeed very professional, courteous and was good about expectation management.
I was pleased with the results, and especially the customer service.
Because of my relatively unique size and shape, I’ve had to get my clothes tailored most of my life. I have been to many tailors, and the price is not unlike what I’ve experienced elsewhere in many parts of the country and world.

Thimble Tailor is terrific. Took 4 shirts in here and had them taper the sides/​sleeves and put darts in the back. Couldn’t be happier with the end result and the customer service here is fantastic too. Will definitely be a return customer.

Got a suit fitted. Very well done. Turn around was a week. A team of 4 tailors working in the back, with 4 more people doing various tailory things.
Staff was courteous, personable, efficient, knowledgable and willingly offered advice and suggestions.
All in all, a wonderful little shop that I hope to do business with again.

I can’t say enough about Thimble Tailoring! I’ve had 3 dresses altered here and each time they have turned out amazing.

Would highly recommend! I visited Thimble because of some high ratings from Rochester’s Unilocal Elite, and I’m very glad I did! Thimble Tailoring had me measured in less than 5 minutes and my bridesmaid dress fit wonderfully. I had fantastic experiences with the employees both times I visited. Very professional, cordial, and relaxed. Thimble is my new go-​to place for tailoring.

Thimble Tailor continues to be the only place I trust with my hemming needs. They are extremely attentive and friendly as soon as customers enter the store. I am always in and out within ten to fifteen minutes depending on how many articles of clothing I bring in.
I am on the shorter side and rarely find items that fit off the rack. Thimble Tailor is knowledgeable on modern style and always hems to a fashionable look.
Price wise they are quite fair ($ 10 to shorten pants) and have a quick turnaround. My girlfriend recommends checking out the Paisley Boutique racks in the front of the store for ladies. Not to be missed!

I went to the Thimble to get two pairs of off the shelf suit pants tailored. I had the rise taken up, the legs tapered. the cuff changed, and the pants shortened. Essentially I bought the wrong fit, and they were able to fix. Let me tell you the result of the changes are now two pairs of pants that fit and feel great. Being a taller and larger guy with no butt, it’s hard to buy good fitting clothes. The thimble transformed my pants into great fitting clothes.

Excellent! Fatima, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable about high-​end, designer and vintage clothing construction and knows her materials. I’ve taken tons of varied garments to her from shirts to skirts to dresses to coats to jeans– all to have been mended impeccably.
Yes, their prices are a bit higher but if you have clothes that you care about and are higher-​end the price is well justified.
The owner really understands fit, material dynamics, and what alterations need to be made without even really needing to explain. My things have always been returned in a timely manner with excellent repairs. Also, it’s professional and well-​run, clean and efficient.
Additionally the shop is super cute and features a boutique with well-​priced, stylish clothes. Definitely recommend it!

I recently had a maxi dress and my dress for my sister’s wedding that needed to be shortened. I was going to take the dress somewhere else but since this place kept coming up with great reviews I decided to come here instead.
It was a little hard to find only because there is construction at the plaza and machines were blocking the entrance. Also, the sign says tailor and not the whole business name.
I got in and went towards the back and was ushered into a fitting room. We got my maxi dress to the length needed and then I put on my bridesmaid dress and came out. The adjustments were made to shorten that and do some darting at the chest area.
A week later, I went back and picked up my dresses. I tried them on just to make sure everything was perfect and everything was perfect in the end.
The work was great and it was great service the entire time I was there for both trips the only thing holding me back was the price as others have said. I paid just over $ 100 to have my dresses shortened and darting done to one. I know I can get the same work cheaper so I may look around but if I haven’t found another place as great as here, I will be back.

Very nice people, but I have to agree with other comments, the attention to detail is lacking.
One pair of shorts now has pockets that are at different heights and one coat has sleeves that do not allow you to lift your arms up.
I’ll just keep the shorts but I need to take the coat back in.

I went to Thimble for the first time on recommendation from a trusted friend to have a suit tailored for my wedding.
Fatima is great. She knew exactly what needed to be done to my suit without my even saying a word. I’m very particular about the fit, and I found her both thorough and intuitive.
I was in and out in probably 15 minutes, which included changing etc. The service was prompt and informative.
I was told that my suit would be ready in a week, and upon arrival the following week (without my ticket, which was forgotten at home) I received my suit anyway, with no fuss. It fit perfectly, and the quality of the stitching was great.
I’ve since gone back to have a shirt fitted, and my father-​in-​law had some pants fixed up as well. Everyone has been happy with the quality of work.
As in most things, you get what you paid for. If you care about your clothing and want the work done correctly and promptly without fanfare, this place is for you.

This place was so close to 5 stars, but their prices are just a little too high to get me to give them that last one. That being said, Thimble is great for both tailoring and dry cleaning. I’ve brought multiple suits in here to be tailored (both jackets and pants) and have always been very happy with the results. The fit is always exactly right and they’re professional, timely and always very accommodating.
Their dry cleaning services are just as good as their tailoring. I brought in a light suit and white dress shirt that had been doused with a lot of red wine at a recent wedding. When I got it back just 4 days later, the suit and shirt looked like new. I was shocked that they had been able to do it. I will without a doubt be using their services for the long term. Even though their prices are a little high, the service and quality are well worth it!

I’ve never been to a tailor before, but I had to get a dress I bought from overseas taken in some.
It’s not the easiest to find being in the back corner of the plaza. But once found you walk into a beautiful store front with very nice clothes and accessories for sale.
Walk up to the counter and I had to wait a minute. They gave me a room and I changed, she took less than five minutes to pin the dress. I changed and they gave me a quote and had it ready 5 days later, a day earlier than I needed.
The price was extremely reasonable, the dress was tailored perfectly.
Oh I forgot my ticket and they had no problem finding my dress.
I will use them again and recommend to all of my friends and family.

The best tailor in Rochester! I originally came here about a year ago to get a bridesmaids dress tailored, as it was way too long, and the price for alternations at the bridal store was outrageous. Of course, I had procrastinated, and only had about two and a half weeks until the wedding when I brought the dress to Thimble (on the recommendation of you fine Unilocalers!). Fatima was so gracious — she was quick and so professional, and the dress was shortened beautifully for me to wear with flats; no small feat with three layers of chiffon!
I have brought many other items to Fatima since then: most recently I brought a maxi dress that needed to be shortened, and after consulting with Fatima, we decided to have to cut into a maxi skirt, and she gave me the option of a zipper closure, or an elastic waist. I chose the zipper, and it looks so nice. In my experience, all work is usually ready for you in a week, and prices are very competitive. Highly recommend!

This is my go to tailor for over 3 years. Before that I’ve been to several others. I am into fashion and getting clothes fitted correctly is more important than the actual style of the garment I think.
I have taken shirts, pants, shorts, suits, swim trunks, jackets, etc to them and probably spent over $ 800 easy.
The stitching is pretty spot on for the most part. Sometimes I’ve caught them slacking on a poor stitch line and I’ve gone back and they corrected it for free.
The reason I like them is because they know how a modern European cut should fit and look and they know how to pin it correctly before even doing any of the cutting.
I also have experimented with doing my own alterations so I know what goes into it.
They aren’t «cheap» but you get what you pay for.

I’ve been coming to this family owned business for a few years and I’ve always gotten good service and quality work. I’ve had shirts and jackets taken in. Buttons and rips repaired and everything you can think of done. When something has needed to be redone, they do it, no questions asked. Their location is pretty good, in a plaza with ample parking, near many other services.

You know those people who plan things months ahead of time? That’s usually me. Except when it comes to getting bridesmaid dresses altered. I seem to have this uncanny need to wait till the last minute.
Thimble to the rescue! They have always taken care of dress alterations (I am thinking gown/​dress alterations are some of the harder ones!) in a timely fashion (about a week or less) and the job is always well done. The young lady (I believe her name is Fatima) is really great at figuring out what adjustments need to be made for a dress to fit comfortably. When you come to pick up the altered piece of clothing, she usually has you try it on to make sure everything fits well.
I took off a star because their prices seem to run a little high and you don’t usually know the price till she has marked up the changes to be made in tailor chalk and pinned things into place… at that point, it is too late to change your mind because of the quoted price. However, I have never been unhappy with their work so it is not a huge deal. It is just something to keep in mind when you go in here.

After much procrastination, I finally decided to get my new suit tailored. It was a week before the RIT career fair and I knew I had to look the part. I had never been to a tailor before, so it was all new to me. I decided to try out Thimble after reading the positive reviews on Unilocal.
Everything was fast and easy and they have very reasonable prices. My suit turned out great… no complaints here! I definitely will be back.

Taming of the boobzilla… pull up that dress a bit for goodness sake. I forgot that I had been here years ago, still a great shop. They will alter what you need till you’re comfortable with it.

I came to Thimble for tailoring per the recommendation of these fine Unilocalers who’ve reviewed before me. I was devastated when my zipper broke on my brand new down winter jacket. I brought it in, they offered me a few choices between zipper color & style. It was fixed it in no time. Since I was happy with my experience, I came back with a dress and two pairs of pants that needed fitting. I had never had tailoring done before so I was a little apprehensive since I didn’t know what to expect. The fitting is super quick, Fatima knew exactly what I was looking for following my suggestions for tailoring — I was actually surprised how quickly they were able to fit me. I was in and out of there in 10 minutes. My clothes were ready for pick up by the end of the week. I highly recommend it here!
