Rose & Henry Tailor’s

OMG this place is just top-​notch wonderfulness. Katherine is super skilled, super funny and kind and really frank (which I need in a tailor). She’s not shy and I love that. I am so stoked I found her after a bad experience with the only other tailor in town (really).
I have spent hundreds of dollars with her to fix pretty much half my wardrobe and she did it all with a huge smile and a true gift for sewing.
My only complaint (which I’ve mentioned to her) is that they aren’t open weekends. Or Mondays.
TIP: Do not leave the tags on any clothes that you take her. She has to charge you a special tax that the state mandates if the clothes are «new» (which she doesn’t get to keep — it’s like a surcharge that goes 100% to the state). Even Goodwill tags will get you the surcharge so be sure to cut those tags off prior to dropping of your clothes.

The best tailor in town! Wonderful service, great results, and family-​run. Rose and Henry Tailor’s have helped me out with so many tailoring tasks, from a last-​minute fix on my husband’s wedding suit when it came back from Nordstrom’s ill-​fitting, to all sorts of dresses of mine that have multiple layers, various materials, and are tricky to work with.
Also, they are very kind, making it a treat to stop in with an outfit that needs a lift!

We were very pleased with the beautiful tailoring job on my husband’s sport coat. We had a short time to get it done and they were very accomodating.

I tried Rose and Henry’s after several unsatisfactory experiences with another tailoring shop in SLO. Was I ever happy to have discovered this business! Kathy and her mother are extremely professional, competent, and kind. They do the best quality work at reasonable prices, and finish garments in a very timely manner. The shop’s move to their current Monterey Street location is an added plus, since parking in downtown SLO is nearly always a miserable experience. Rose and Henry’s has plenty of convenient parking. This is the place to go for quality tailoring.

Such beautiful sweet ladies! I took two dresses in to be altered. They came back looking wonderful! I need one dress for an event on short notice and they got it back to me looking awesome. I couldn’t have been more grateful. I will be all my alterations here!

I took my wedding dress here after reading good reviews on Unilocal and they surpassed my expectations. It is a family run store and the women know exactly what they are doing. My dress fit beautifully and the women are very sweet and funny. I lived out of town and they were always happy to keep the store open a little longer for me when I couldn’t get to town during normal business hours. These women care about their work and their clients. There was hugging and tears on the day I picked up my dress to take home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I love these ladies. Fantastic, quality work, fast turnaround time, wonderful customer service. I have taken so many different things and all have turned out beautifully. Highly recommended.

Had a nice dress hemmed– incuding slip, for 40 $, they did a really nice job, exactly how i wanted it. The lady who helped me was very friendly, I would go back there.

–Always does a great job when I need pants hemmed. They’ve done a ton of pairs for me over the years — on time and as promised. Nice ladies

Fantastic work. I had a bridesmaid gown & 2 pairs of jeans altered, each one came back looking great. Also, I came in a week before I needed it all done, this was a stretch for them, but the woman I dealt with took a deep breath & agreed to have it done. My items were even done a little early. I will definitely come back!

Any item I take in gets done quickly and accurately. I am so impressed by these lovely ladies… I am impeccably dressed because of them.

Rose & Henry Tailors did a fine job on my dress pants. They were professional and courteous. They were very reasonably priced.

fantastic little shop. took in an off the rack suit to have some alterations made on short notice. they did an absolutely fantastic job at a fair price and it was ready when promised. would definitely use them again for any of my alteration/​tailoring needs and would recommend them without hesitation. outstanding service!

You have to look carefully to find this small shop, but once you do, you’ll be delighted with the service and skill of the two ladies who run it. When they give you an estimated price and a «ready-​by» date, they deliver.
They are on Morro between Marsh and Higuera across from Barnes and Noble Books and are open Mon-​Fri 10:00 am to 5:30 pm.
UPDATE — 6 Feb 09
After 40 years at the same location, these fine folks had to move to another shop due to their building undergoing earthquake retrofit.
They are now at 1357 Monterey Street (between Johnson Avenue and the Railroad tracks).
Katherine and Rose are two fine ladies. You will enjoy doing business with them, and they will appreciate your business.
