What People Are Saying About Golden Needle Tailoring

In Short – Though owner Maria Tesseris has been patron of this downtown business for 22 years, she still runs it with the enthusiasm and loving attention with which she began. Her alteration and repair work is as extensive as her customers' needs, from formal wear to casual, from minor repairs to major resizing to alteration.
Marias work is top notch

I read the reviews and decided to give the Golden Needle a try and boy was I not disappointed. I've lived on State and Chicago for almost ten years and had never visited this place before. I took some sport coats and a pair of slacks to be altered and Maria did a fantastic job. She did the fitting for me herself which was also a plus. Her waiting room is also very nice reminds me of Europe. I will be making this place a regular stop from now on.
- Pros: Example: best croissants in town
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?
Golden Needle traingle

I Have used many tailors in the US including Golden needle tailoring most of them are just out of college students recruited for measuring and the tailoring is done by people in Asia. so you ultimately rely on Second hand service at an Expensive price.in most of the cases it is cash upfront. I have tried a real visiting tailor from Bangkok, "Savile Row Tailor". He was recommended to me by my Business colleagues in Bangkok and travels for Measurement taking 2 to 3 times a year to the US. I had 1 Suit 450 USD and a deal of 5 Shirts for 300 USD. All inclusive of Delivery to my door step. delivery time is 7 to 8 weeks ,which is the same as Golden needle tailoring and finished product / fitting is of a far better quality. you can check him out at www.savilerowfashion dot biz
Pros: better than any US service, Price
Cons: some might feel uncomfortable with tailor from the other side of the planet. not me.
Simply Amazing!

I had two vest that I really liked but were a bit big (even thought they were small) I guess that's the price of mass produced garments. I took them in to Golden needle with high hopes and Maria did not disappoint. I picked them up today and tried them on and I could not help but smile at the AMAZING work she did. They fit perfectly and how I always wanted them to fit. While on the train I couldnt believe the job she did that I just had to check the seams and found that her work is so perfect that its totally unnoticed. Much to my satisfaction there was a bit of evidence on one of the tags that showed where she tucked in and Im still amazed by it.
- Pros: incredible results
- Cons: a bit pricey
