Editorial Review for Golden Needle Tailoring – by Citysearch Editors

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.

User Reviews for Golden Needle Tailoring

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

05/09/2007 Posted by thewardrobecoach

I am a personal wardrobe coach and would not offer my professional recommendation if it wasn't deserved. I send my clients to Maria when they need to have serious tailoring done and I also use her for my own tailoring needs. No matter how busy she is, I always feel welcome when I enter her store. To give an example of her work...I found the most amazing Dana Buchman trousers (the fabric was incredible) at a discount, although they were too big for me in every way. I went to Maria to see if she could literally re-construct them to fit my body and she did it perfectly! You can't even tell they were tailored. I will continue sending my clients to Maria and using her personally for my own tailoring needs. Your image is important, and her high-quality craftsmanship is well worth the money.

Pros: High quality work, reserved 15-minute parking spot right in front for easy pick-up/drop-off

Cons: Can get expensive if you have a lot of tailoring to be done

Through more than 5 years going to Golden Needle I have had excellent results every time. Here's a tip: buy a quality suit from the least expensive place you can. Golden Needle will give it the alterations you need to make it look custom.

Pros: Excellent work. Personal Service.

Cons: A couple of weeks to get something back. Not cheap.
