Brian Taylor & Alterations

Never written a review before but decided I needed to today. I went in fri at noon to get a pair of slacks hemmed before July 4^th and Brian (I guess that’s the gentleman’s name) got me sized up and had them ready 4 hours later since he was closed the whole weekend. I needed them Monday morning for my mothers funeral and he really helped me out. Also, the work was great. No complaints.

Went to these guys solely because they accept credit cards. What is the deal with tailors being cash only? I needed 6 draperies made, each 12 feet long. Many tailors can’t sew drapes because you need a long table on which to lay out and stretch the fabric. I simply turned over the mountain of purple velvet and backing material to them, told the nice lady behind the counter what length I needed, and they quoted me a price which was WAY cheaper than what I expected. I am used to tailors in the downtown area where I live, so her price quote was met with my audible sigh of relief. When I picked up the drapes the following week, they were perfect. The pocket fit the drapery rod snugly, the length was spot on, and they were absolutely gorgeous. The only disappointment was that this is the last room I am renovating in my house, so I will (hopefully) never need custom made draperies again. But I will visit these guys often for clothing alterations and recommend them to others, as I was definitely impressed with the finished product and the overall experience.

At first they were nice. And the work wasn’t bad. I did like them. Until recently they charged a lot more and did terrible jobs. Last month I brought my jumpsuit to get altered. The day I got it back I knew it will be a problem bc I didn’t look right. But I didn’t have the time to try it on while I was there. So I asked the guy owner if something is wrong can I come back to fix with free charge. He said yes. I went back the lady said she doesn’t remember what she did. I explained it’s still too long, they barely trimmed anything. She kept saying she didn’t remember, and I wasn’t clean and now ask for free work. That’s ridiculous. N plus their English is horrible.

The alterations were decent. For $ 75, I would have thought that the tattoo I requested to be covered by the dress would have been honored. However, I kept having to pull my dress up to cover it when I specifically told the person taking the alterations that I wanted it to rest at a point on my body in which it was covered. So, high price and did not meet full expectations for the price that was paid. The hem was okay. It probably could have been slightly shorter but it worked for the evening. I’m not saying the experience was terrible but I was not impressed. I’ll be going elsewhere for future alterations.

I decided to try BT&A from the reviews on here, so I’m happy to report my great experiences. I’ve been there three times with (different) minor alterations, and the prices are wonderful, the service is friendly, and it only takes a week to get my clothes back. I highly recommend them!

So, I neglected to update my review after I received my altered bridesmaid’s dress. They did a wonderful job. So wonderful in fact that I questioned whether they had opened up my seams at all… but the nicely snug fit of the dress on the day of my friend’s wedding proved that they had done a nice job. My dress was ready on time and it cost me $ 32 to alter it. Only issue was that they have a limited number of dressing rooms so as much as I wanted to stare at myself in the dress for more than 5 minutes, there were 2 to 3 people waiting to try on their dresses so I had to hurry up. I would definitely go back here again.
Thanks!

I really like this place. The owner and his wife don’t say very much, which made me a bit nervous as I was having a bridesmaids dress altered and didn’t really get feedback from them. Still, she seemed perfectly confident in what she was doing and, apprehension aside, I left it with them. It was ready for pick-​up 4 days later and it turned out perfect! They did a really great job and for only $ 27. I have found my tailor =)

THANK YOU UnilocalERS!!! I was looking for a good tailor and didn’t want to spend a small fortune and Brian’s is the place. they get you in and out QICK, the prices are great and the turnaround is great too. basically everything you look for in a tailor. The quality of work is very good and they do just about everything. These people are great!

Big fan.
They got my jeans altered well, same-​day service was just $ 2 more, and the overall bill was still cheaper than the other place I’ve tried (that normally takes two weeks).

Emergency Maid of Honor dress alterations– big recommendation here :) They were able to see my sister (m.o.h) right away, perfectly alter a strapless dress that came 2 sizes too big for her, and have it ready in 2 days. 25 buckaroos. Unbeatable.

Good work… But WAY TOO PRICEY!!! $ 13.00 for pants to be altered… give me a break!!!

If I had money to blow, I’d bring every piece of clothing item here to get it tweaked to fit me like a glove. The seamstress there is AWESOME. I hardly have to do much explanation when alteration is needed. She knows exactly what to do. How to make things look and fit better.
I absolutely loveee their work. Fast service and friendly people. And no, we’re not related. Haha.
