Marfiel’s Tailors

After my ok-​but-​kinda-​pricey experience with Triana’s Tailors I was in the market for a new, more affordable tailor. I took a dress to Marfiel’s that needed to be hemmed and since it was strapless, I also had them add a one shoulder strap with the fabric from the hemming. They did a beautiful job. I went in to pick it up/​try it on after a couple of weeks and the strap wasn’t quite where I wanted it, so they re-​pinned it and I picked it up the next day with no issue. And, the whole thing was much cheaper: just over $ 50.
It’s a small, unassuming house with little parking (maybe there’s more in the back?), but don’t be fooled by the modest appearances outside. They do good, timely work at a very reasonable price.

Wonderful tailor on the east side! I bought a gorgeous vintage dress overseas that I foolishly hoped to fit into– she was able to expand the bust and have the dress fit like a dream! I’ve come back multiple times– and she speaks English very well, no concerns there.

The owner is really nice. I asked her to do some alterations on a jean. She told me that it will be 25 $.
I came today to get my pant…
She did excellent work!
It’s perfectly made.
And it cost me 21,65 $
I highly recommend this place.

Really great small business on the East Side of Austin. They do some great work at some of the most affordable prices in town. I probably called 4 other places to compare prices, and Marfiel’s was easily the most affordable. I had 2 suit pants and a pair of tuxedo pants that were a little too long, and I was able to get everything I needed done for under $ 40. The ladies were sweet and friendly and got the work done in less than a week, which was really important since I needed those tuxedo pants for a wedding. I plan on coming back for all my tailoring needs!

friendly service at great prices. If you don’t see parking when you get there, pull in the side driveway there’s room to park and or turn around in back.

Marfiel’s did an awesome job with my clothes for a very reasonable price! I brought in two dresses and two pants to be hemmed and I’m very happy with both of them.
Fair warning thought that items are not completed immediately. She was able to have a pair of pants out for me in a couple of days, but the rest of the order took another 2 weeks because she has so much work. Not surprised though, she does wonderful work and it’s a very fair price.

I have used Marfiels for many years. I would mostly take items to be hemmed… nothing major structural. At times, the hem would be good, other times, not so much. The last time I took a pr of pants & a dress, both to be hemmed. The dress wasn’t shortened as much as I had asked for. I even put it on & she pinned it, but it was longer than I wanted. Then I got home & put the pants on & only 1 leg had been hemmed! What? And, her pricing has gone up. She’s a sweet lady, but I think she’s gotten so busy she can’t keep up w/​it. She’s brought in a new person to help & I think she’s the one that’s not so good. The owner was really snarky w/​me too because she was so busy when I came in to drop my clothes off. If you’re not going to do to a good job, the least you can do is be nice. I wish this business was like it used to be. I’m going to someone closer to my home & much better & cheaper.

Great service, great prices, great work every time. I’ve taken multiple clothing items here-​some that have required a total reconstruction and some that just needed a new zipper. I’m always happy with the quality of the work. Prices are very fair and they work hard to complete the jobs by the date you need them. I will continue to come back!

This is a cute little mum’s alteration shop. Brought in two difficult dress alterations and they fixed them beautifully and at a decent price. You would have never know they were alter. This is a place for those sequined dress for proms to be altered to fit like a glove. Very sweet old ladies run the place and they have a nice little fitting area to check out your alterations.

After being quoted $ 150++ for a hem and to let out a bridesmaid dress that was ordered in the wrong size, I sought out someone more affordable. This place did the work for ¹⁄₃ of the cost and the sweet old woman who owns the shop did a wonderful job. Highly recommend!

Affordable and professional. The only downside may be for the monolingual English speakers — occasionally communication can be a little difficult. However, that being said, ALL of my items have always turned out exactly how I wanted. This place is amazing. They turn around items quickly and for very fair prices. I have taken simple stuff here, like hems, but then I also lost 30 lbs in between ordering and wearing a bridesmaid dress, and she took in this boned dress like a dream. I can believe how well it fit.
There are private rooms for you to try on your garment for alteration on site. Plan ahead because they are busy these days. HIGHLY recommended.

Called twice and no answer! I had a last minute quick zipper fix issue & wanted to ask a few questions… but thanks! I found a better tailor

Found this work to be quality. I will be back. My only fuss was how long it took (~2 weeks) — however I’m sure it’s because they get so much business.
Had the following work done for less than $ 40
— Fix busted seam in knee of leather pants
— Replace invisable zipper in dress
— Fix ripped hem in silk maxi dress

This sweet old lady is the best! Dropped my jeans off and they were ready and perfect the next day!

This is a tiny little house in a shady area, with awful parking, but as Megan said, LEGIT. Doesn’t look like much; it’s basically an old house and the workshop area looks messy and cramped, but who cares. The dressing area is clean and gets the job done.
I had a number of alterations I needed for a new job (hem pants, change length of a dress shirt, take in a waist, etc., at least ten items or more) and every single one of them was done to my expectation (if not beyond) and the items were returned hung and pressed in less than a week. I was given an estimate of timing and was called prior to that date when my items were ready.
I didn’t inquire about pricing as I was confident per Unilocal reviews it was good work/​value. It certainly was to me; though I dropped a pretty penny there I had a whole new work wardrobe for about a hundred bucks. (If you are concerned, simply inquire about pricing as they are taking your «order».)

These ladies are LEGIT. $ 12 for two dresses mended! JACKPOT. I’ve been looking for a place just like this for years! If you need a new tailor, these are your girls!

Apparently they don’t post their prices online. You just need to be willing to ask the main lady what her price is for every single thing ahead of time, as she bills you. The good English speakers who call you to let you know about your stuff being ready likely don’t know nothing about prices, as mine didn’t when she called and I asked about mystery bills.
Hems for pants are like 14 bucks, fyi.

Second time I’ve been to Marfiel’s. First time was to get a hem re-​sewn on a pair of slacks. This time to get some length taken off my jeans and a new zipper on a pair of pants.
$ 11 for the jeans, $ 14 for the zipper. It was a bit more than I was expecting to pay, and the wait was a full week. But the ladies are sweet and they’ve done a good job each time I’ve taken something to them. Happy to help support local businesses.

This shop is exactly what I love about the eastside. Just a little family business that does good work for cheap. Nothing fancy about it. I have yet to pay more than $ 16 for anything, that’s including a patch on my jeans, fixed zipper on another pair, and plastic boning replaced on a top. The quality of work is excellent.
So happy I found this place! You will be too.

No complaints. They did a great job. I had two suit jackets done and a pair of unfinished pants. They came out perfectly. Pants were about $ 12 and each jacket was a bit under $ 50. Total price for all three was about $ 110 including tax. Turnaround was about two weeks. I had to call them to find out they were done… I guess they don’t call you.
They take Credit Card (but not Amex). Very friendly.
