Moda Italia & Tailoring

These folks are incredibly kind and very professional! I dropped off my Versace suit and requested the professional tailor to do some unique work for me and when it was ready for pick up in less than 3 days I felt like a million dollars!
Next time your there ask for Essy! Him and his wife are beautiful people :-)
I will be back :-)))

No nonsense tailoring for me. Nice staff. Do a good job and I’m always happy with the bill.

If you happen to be a «guy» like me… Do not EVER come into this establishment!
I brought in pictures to show them, along with the very best I could do to explain & the woman’s final comment… «We will do this (Referring to only PART of my project).» «You’ll have to do the rest».
Say what?
If I could take care of the REST of the project with the sewing machine I do NOT have, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.
What a RUDE woman! Goodness! Zero stars on this one!

Love coming here because they have a great customer service and very helpful and they’re very good what they do!!! i’ve totally recommend this place.

Today was my 1^st time here and I must tell you this place is so nice! Love their jeans and the variety they offer but what out shines all stylish clothing is the service! Please tell me where you can go shop for cloths, tell the person helping you what size you wear and THEY go and bring to you everything in your size? That’s right no where BUT HERE THEY DO! And personally I loved it there is nothing I hate more than digging through racks looking for my odd ball size. Now the icing on the cake, my jeans were to long so… they hemmed them for free right on the spot. Now thats what I call service and I will be back

I find the workmanship of Moda Italia to be of a very high quality. I have a «work» wardrobe that I spent a fortune on and therefore spend a fortune on maintaining it which means having alterations done when necessary. My alterations initially mean adjustments to make it fit perfectly — always done perfectly by Moda. Adjustments also have meant (I’ve lost weight) making my clothes fit to my new size — also done perfectly and saving me a lot of money.
Yes, it is hard to understand the gentleman (it is who i work with) but with effort it is worth it. I always ask his opinion and am never disappointed. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

I was in need of a hem on my wedding dress. I took the dress in and told the tailor what I wanted done. He told me that this would be much to expensive and I wouldn’t be able to afford it! HOW RUDE! Then he said he wouldn’t do it for me and tried to convince me to do something completely different with my dress. I will never recommend this place to anyone.

I don’t know if this place is still in business.
I just signed up for Unilocal and had horrific flashbacks to my experience with this store.
I was applying to medical school. I had just bought what I thought would be my interview suit (elsewhere in town.) I chose to try and get the suit tailored here, having read the good reviews they had here on Unilocal.
Walking into the store, you get the sense that there’s a different… style… going on here. Strange suits. No customers.
I’m greeted by a woman. I don’t quite understand everything she says, but she seems nice enough. She says the tailor will be with me soon, but she can help me with my stuff. I put on my suit. She begins chalking the suit. Her nails are long, filled with dirt. I’m a little disgusted. The tailor comes out. He doesn’t really seem to speak super great English, but acts as if he understands me.
Listen, I am VERY particular with my tailoring. If I had the time and the tools, I’d do it myself. I may not know how to properly unsew and sew a jacket, but I do know EXACTLY where I want my cuffs, how much break I want, etc.
I describe, in precise detail, what I want. I notice that my suit is not marked how I asked. He explains that they like to do an «Italian» method of sleeve cuffing (the cuff markings are markedly angled.) I say no. I want the sleeves American/​UK style. Straight. ¼−½″ of shirt cuff will show. He says OK, I will do it your way.
Before all this, I had mentioned to them that I wasn’t in an extreme rush, but I did need my suit back in a week. I had an interview in 2 weeks. They told me that 1 week turnaround would require a rush charge. OK, that’s worth it.
They charge up-​front.
I come back. The new stitching is awful. Sloppy. Noticeable. The cuffs are uneven. They are angled, which I explicitly told them NOT to do. The lining was ripped from the outside fabric, something I’ve never had my other tailor (at Jos Bank) in Reno do. I tell them that I need the sleeves fixed – my suit looks awful.
They tell me OK, we will do what you ask. 2 days.
I come back 2 days later. There are now tears in my suit. One of the two cuffs has been «tacked» up into a semi-​straight alignment using a single stitch. The other cuff is as it was before.
I paid for that tailoring before seeing it. $ 90. For sleeves and pant hem. I don’t even think I had the jacket taken in. They refuse to return my money. They get angry. They raise their voice. «Get out.»
I will be honest. At that point in my life, I was not the same person. I was busy, I didn’t want to deal with extra stress, I left without further argument. The suit was unsalvagable by my other tailor, who, bless her heart, took pity on me and gave me a steep discount.
I really should have called the BBB. I was too busy. This is my much-​delayed revenge. I wouldn’t be surprised if Moda is out of business.
I no longer live in Reno, but if Jos A. Bank still exists in town, go there for your tailoring (I’m not sure if they do outside work). I don’t necessarily recommend their suits (only buy if they are «70» to «80» % off. That’s what their suits are actually worth.) But the tailor there always did exactly what I wanted, the actual tailoring work was high quality, and the staff was friendly and professional.

Dear Moda Italia… Please never retire, or move away.
Update in response to the guy below with the bad review: No offense, but if you’re buying your suits from Jos. A Banks, no amount of tailoring is going to make those things look good. I think your situation was a fluke, because all of the tailoring I’ve had was done extremely well. These folks are craftsmen.

I love this place! Besides their amazing clothing they are wonderful tailors! I had them do my wedding dress and was more than pleased. They brought in the top and shortened the hem, they treated me and my dress with the upmost care. Clothing prices are competitive and I don’t think you could beat their tailor prices.

I came in here on a referral to get a pair of jeans hemmed. When I walked through the door I thought I had died and gone to heaven! I love designer jeans and boy did have them. They had Miss Me Jeans, LA Idols, etc, and for the best prices in town! If they buy a pair of jeans, they will also hem them for free. They did a wonderful job hemming a pair of jeans that I didn’t buy there too. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. In the time I was in there store (the first time) about 3 customers in ten minutes commented on how nice they were. If you are in Sparks, you have to check this place out. It’s my new addiction. :)

Im generally hesitant to use new tailors to hem pants, because more often than not, they mess them up. I just moved here and figured Id give him ONE pair of new cheaper jeans I have recently bought for a trial run. The guy barely speaks any English, but he gets by well enough and is extremely friendly.
When I picked the pants up, they were too long (which is ok because they are generally too short). I brought them back with two other pairs of jeans and he fixed the original jeans for free and tailored the other two to the exact specifications from those jeans.
He did an amazing job in the end and didn’t overcharge me. I recommend him to anyone.

I could never say enough good things about this place. I feel so blessed to have discovered Essy & Parri of Moda Italia. They do the best alterations EVER and have an amazing selection of Miss Me & LA Idol jeans, along with other great brands, items & prices. I hope they will always be there, although it’s a lonely lil shopping center. There are no others that compare to this place. I truly LOVE this place & these people!

BEST JEANS ever!!! and free hemming too!!! All their prices are very reasonable! Go here. now!

Absolutley BEST place to get your tailoring done. I have had everything from a football jersey sized down from a XL to a S, to my jeans alterations. They have super cute selection of Miss Me Jeans and other popular brands, like MEK. If you buy your jeans their they will hem them for FREE! Tops, sweaters, designer baseball caps and cute homemade scarves. The owners are very nice, reasonably priced and quick with their tailoring work.

I received great customer service here and they did an amazing job on altering my wedding dress. They also had an awesome selection of name brand clothing to buy @ very reasonable prices. I definately recommend this place!

I brought in two pairs of jeans that needed tailoring cause they were way too long! When I came in to drop them off they had me try them on and show them my desired length. I left them there for a couple days for the alterations. When I came to pick them up I was a little nervous cause I wanted them to turn out well. To my own amazement they did an absolutely beautiful job, I couldn’t even tell I had them altered. I will be coming back for tailoring of all my jeans in need and I will be going there to shop as well. They have a wonderful selection of affordably priced Miss Me jeans and nice good quality tops.

Thank goodness I found a decent place in Sparks for simple tailor work.
Usually all I need are hems taken up and suspender buttons sewn on. The latter seems llike a simple chore but some places don’t know how to do it. They add buttons with a stitch like they’re cosmetic and the stitches don’t hold up well under stress. My last trip to PDQ Alerations got me pants where the buttons fell off the first or second time I used them.
Moda Italia & Tailoring does good quality buttons. I’m happy about that. And the prices were reasonable.
They have men’s and women’s clothing as well. The suits were not my size but they looked fantastic.
It’s behind the Walgreen’s in the southern part of Spanish Springs.
