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

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.

Very happy with Tommy’s work he’s very professional & very friendly. I gave him about 8 or 9 pieces of garments to alter & he did an impeccable job I must say & for a reasonable price as well!! He definitely knows what he’s doing. If you need any alterations for your clothes don’t hesitate to send him a message he’s the best! Make him your number one choice for anything tailor related. The MUI MUI you see is one example he worked on. It’s was a very loose fit & he made it just right for my girl. She was very happy. I’m bringing him more stuff soon!!

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.
