Pervin Custom Tailor & Formal Wear

The owner was so rude to us when we came to pick up our clothes. She hadn’t finished all of my pieces and I told her it was okay, she threw the clothes at us and asked us never to come back! It was as if she was unstable! I will not recommend anyone to this establishment. Save yourself from her unnecessary rude and wrathful behavior!

These people are great. Such a fun, funny, charming couple. They do amazing work at a more than fair price. Also they work fast. I’d honestly hang out with them all day in their shop if I could.

I chose Pervin after reading reviews. I was going to a client facing conference in Orlando and needed a new suit completely tailored, not just some hemming. I only had four days to get it done. They offered to get it done in two days but since I couldn’t get back there until four days later anyway so I told them to take their time.
When I went to pick up the suit, i tried it on and it fit like a glove. Seriously, it was a whole new suit, quite literally the best I’ve had. I totally recommend them and would go back.
Oh and they are extremely nice. I felt very comfortable with them

I can’t say enough positive things about this place and the woman who tailors the clothing. She is amazing. I brought her a very expensive mother of the bride dress to tailor. It was way too big (I could only get it in this size) and not only did she tailor it perfectly to my body, but she made suggestions on how to modify it to make it look even better. Icing on the cake? She made me (I provided the fabric) a glamorous cover-​up to wear over my strapless gown. This dress looked amazing on me and I cannot thank her enough. She’s old school and will tell it like it is, but you need to listen! She is marvelous.

I’ve been to this place twice. The first time I went I had a decent experience but the second time I was very unsatisfied. I dropped off 2 dresses, a sweater and a pair of pants to be hemmed. One of the dresses needed a bit of length added to it. The second dress needed to be taken in and straps put on. The sweater needed elbow patches. All of this is basic work. I think they did a good job with everything except the dress that needed straps on it. The straps are cheap and could easily be broken. I could’ve probably done it myself. Its not the work I’m dissatisfied with, its the price. All together this costed me $ 130. Honestly, that is $ 32.50 per item, I could have probably bought a 2 new dresses, a sweater and a pair of pants with that money. Customer service wise, the ladies there are very sweet and I had no problem with them, the husband which I believe is one of the owners is not as friendly which is not that enticing for a customer that may need a regular tailor. I’m still deciding on if I’ll ever go back.

A man needs a good doctor, a better accountant, and an even better tailor.
No more Googling or hit ‘n’ miss to find the right tailor. Pervin — the most delightful lady you’ll ever meet — is the absolute best! The finest craftwork on all of my suits and garments, and SAME DAY SERVICE if you need it!
Fix your wardrobe, tailor your suits at Pervin!

This woman is traditional and «old-​school» but definitely worth the time and price. I’ve trusted Pervin to perform the alterations to my wedding dress, bridesmaid dress, hubby’s blazer and tux. These are items that were very expensive $ 5000+ and treasured forever, so finding the right person was crucial. She has great craft, ethic, and knows how to creatively get things done. You could pretty much give her anything and she will transform it into what you want.
Found out that the people who worked for her, copied/​learned and then created another shop that charges even more and produces poor quality — sad to know and I unfortunately went there one time thinking it was a 2^nd shop of hers (bad service).
Stay with Pervin and you wont go wrong! This place is as good as a tailor gets!

Pervin and John have been taking care of my family’s needs for over a decade. There is nothing she can’t fix. Going to the Tailor Shop is like going to visit a dear aunt and uncle! Top quality, friendly service and reasonable prices.

I have been going here for over a decade now — They always have done a great job. I have had them do my daughters prom dress, and her maid of honor dress for a wedding as well as pants, suit jacket and even a Tuxedo for my son. Great work ethics and amazing craftmanship.

Parvins is the best!!! I have been coming to her for all my custom tailoring needs for a really long time. Since I moved away from the area I still do come to her because she’s the best in NOVA.

My only problem with Pervin’s is the prices they charge.
I’ve given them a few chances… three to be precise. I started out with a pair of high-​waisted bell bottoms (I have vintage tastes, obvi). They charged me $ 20\ish (not bad, considering) to hem the jeans while maintaining the «bell bottom». I was ok with that. Then, I brought a bridesmaid’s dress by. They charged me $ 90 to hem a couple inches off. They justified this highway robbery by saying there were several layers to hem (I guess one layer equals $ 45). I decided to give them one last whirl. I brought three pairs of hippie pants by to hem. One layer each… I figured it wouldn’t be TOO bad. They did taper them a little for me, but nothing major. All three pants were $ 106! WAY more than the pants were worth but, I had to pay it… they had my pants. They haven’t screwed any of my clothes up but they have caused me to declare bankruptcy. They are WAY too expensive. I’ll probably just go to the dry cleaners in the same shopping center for cheaper (and probably shittier) work.

Against my daughter’s advice, I brought a suit to be altered, maybe. I dropped 4 sizes since I bought it and asked the proprietress to tell me if she thought it was worth tailoring it to fit again. She told me she could do it.
I got it back 2 days later (dropped on Saturday afternoon and got back Wednesday, but Monday was a holiday). The fit is excellent! I brought my daughter to approve the final product and she was impressed as well.
Highly recommend

This is definitely a mom and pop store which adds to its overall merit if you ask me. The couple who owns this place are extremely courteous, humorous, proficient and excellent at their craft. I’ve utilized their tailoring services on a number of occasions and will continue to do so in the future. I highly recommend them!

Thank you Unilocal for this find!
Finding a good tailor for me is extremely difficult. First off, I’m about 5’7, 150lbs, thin build. You could say I’d be the perfect H&M /​Topman /​Uniqlo /​Theory fit model (I wear a 34R H&M suit jacket.) I used to take my suits and blazers to Dulles Custom Tailor but I noticed each time there was always an imperfection. The fit was never where I wanted and I always had to take my things back to them. Not only that, they are expensive! I needed to get two blazers tapered a bit in the chest and the arms tapered. Was quoted $ 270!
Now I took three suit jackets here that needed the arms tapered as well as the chest. I was originally quoted $ 225. Not too bad and from the reviews on here I took the chance. I came back today to pick them up and they dropped the price down to $ 165! And I threw the jackets on and they fit perfectly. I have a few more jackets I plan on taking to them to have done after seeing the great work that they did on my first three.
And a few helpful tips for the gentlemen. Before going to a tailor, you need to know what exactly you want to do. Had I walked in and asked what they (the tailor shop) thought was best, I’m sure the suits I brought in would’ve fit a lot boxier and baggier. The owners of this fine establishment are an older couple and actually were teasing me about how younger guys want their suits to fit «skin tight.» Nothing wrong with that since it was all in good fun.
The other tip for guys is you should buy the suit in your size before actually getting one tailored. If you are a 38 and buy a 40, even with all the tailoring in the world the suit won’t fit as good in the end. It really isn’t that hard. Otherwise, I highly recommend Pervin.

Took pants to be patched up (had a hole) and another pair needed to have the leg openings narrowed. Great work, timely service, though not inexpensive. However, knowing they will listen to what you want and get it done and do it well is worth the tiny bit of premium you pay.

Every time I need any sort of alteration, I come to this store as the owners are very friendly, have a mom and pop shop charm, and treat you fairly. Every pair of jeans I’ve brought there for hemming look completely natural like they’ve never had any work done to them after the alteration.
Go here if you want people to listen to exactly what you want (Tip: It helps to know exactly what you want) and deliver it.

Just picked up my order, and the work was all done well:
* 1 denim jean hemmed
* 3 wool pants hemmed
* 4 shirts «slimmed» (taken-​in?)
Specifically, the hem on the jeans was reattached using contrasting thread after the leg was shortened, so it looks «off the rack.» The pants were hemmed a tad shorter than I expected, but I was told this «break» was more appropriate for a slim /​tapered leg. The hems were done with more stitches than I have seen elsewhere. Lastly, the seams on the shirts were cut and restitched, again resulting in an «off the rack» appearance. Bravo!

I have small shoulders and am not tall so my wedding dress needed quite a few alterations to it. The alterations were good but a few things made me not want to go back
First, during the alterations, the dress got dirty and there was no time to get it cleaned. I dealt with it because it was a small spot, but it still was not okay to me.
Secondly, when I bought my dress I bought a nice garment bag for it. When I was getting ready to take my dress home from the alterations shop, I asked for the bag back but the tailor couldn’t find it so she gave me a different one. They probably sent mine home with someone else. In its place, they gave me a very cheap, probably free for another bride, garment bag that was even a bit dirty inside. So not only did I leave without a good garment bag for my dress, but I lost the money that I paid for mine.
My only regret is not speaking up and demanding money for the bag that they lost.

First off, I have a really hard time finding a good tailor. I have broad shoulders, trim waist and short arms (no, I am not a hobbit), and a 31″ inseam. I like my clothes trim and have run into many a tailor who thinks that they know what I want and will NOT listen to me. Anyway, I bought a Facconable shirt in a really nice fabric that I love. The color, the color, the fabric… everything. BUT, it is cut large for the obese public. I brought it to Pervins and the lady was very nice and we talked about how I wanted it to fit and she pinned the shirt up and gave me my ticket. I came back a week later and she said that if I needed it taken in at all or anything else, just to bring it back. I went home, tried it on and it rocked. She had cut the shirt perfectly. I liked her so much, I brought back two pairs of pants today and can’t wait to get them back too! She will get all of my future business. Oh, and the shirt cost $ 22 to be re-​cut and tailored and the pants are $ 12 each. Very reasonable…

Pervin’s Custom Tailor is located in the centre of Cascades Marketplace between the Robeks and AT&T with a simple «Tailor Shop» sign designating it. This review is compiled from two seperate experiences.
I have owned and loved a pair of Diesel jeans for over three years. Unfortunately, during these years the jeans have worn in the crotch, leaving an embarassing hole in the inner thighs. The tailor patched this unsightly injury with matching thread and denim swatch, I could hardly see the repair when I picked them up!
Another time I purchased a heavily-​distressed pair of Joe’s Jeans, the boutique I got them from did not hem their jeans. I sent the jeans to Pervin’s who reattached the original shredded hem to the new length with nary a stitch out of place, well done!
