I needed a last minute alteration and Tomy not only accommodated but was super friendly and easy to work with. I’ll definitely be using him on all future tailoring needs

I needed a jacket and some pants tailored and Tomy responded immediately. He was extremely responsive, communicative, and even offered at-home services since I could not make it to his studio. He picked up and dropped off my clothes within a few days and his work was impeccable. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for all of my tailoring needs.

He was wonderful to work with and very responsive! Helped alter my dress for a wedding with a quick turn around! Very reasonable price. I will definitely be coming back to him in the future for any alterations. Couldn’t recommend him enough

Tomy is AMAZING! I had a dress that I wanted to take some inches off of and adjust the straps- he just snatched that dress to exactly where I wanted it. He is a perfectionist- so precise. He was able to make a pocket square from the extra fabric- an absolute perfect little piece. He is professional, he responds immediately, the quality of work unmatched. I can’t recommend him enough!

Talked to Tommy at first to see if he’d be the person to take care of my Tailor needs. I found Tommy very professional and willing to work with me. I gave Tommy a suit and a pair of pants to alter for me, he did. The fit is perfect and I mean perfect. I would refer this Gentleman to anyone.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Private lessons are $60/hour. Alterations and custom work are quoted based on garment structure and complexity. Same-day rush service and house calls are available for an additional fee.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first review the garment or project, discuss the client’s goals, then confirm the price, timeline, and next steps before beginning the work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied fashion design at ESMOD and FIDM, with a strong focus on pattern making, garment construction, and fit. I later taught pattern drafting at FIDM for over four years.
