Great Place for Tailoring.

I've lost a lot of weight and wanted to keep some of my favorite skirts. They tailored it to fit my new body perfect.

The service was efficient and polite. I RECOMMEND THEM WITHOUT RESERVATIONS.

• Pros: Great Tailor Shop on Broadway
• Cons: knowlegeable about tailoring

10 STARS IF I COULD

by RJGBrooklyn at Citysearch

I lost 50lbs in the last year and have managed to maintain my weight. Also changed jobs and have to wear suit or sport coat daily. Mike and the staff at Sew Special have done a remarkable job "saving" my old wardrobe and custom tailoring inexpensive clothes purchased at consignment or Marshall's/TJMaxx. Everything I have brought to Sew Special has been done perfectly and expertly. No corners cut here (no pun intended) and the attention to detail and personal preferences is superb. Mike and his mother will offer their opinion, whether you like it or not. The advice is usually right on the money. In this economy, saving or recycling old clothes as opposed to buying new is more important than ever. Every dollar spent here is well worth it as you can't put a price on how good you feel when you look good and your clothes fit right. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

• Pros: Excellent personalized service.
• Cons: 5% more expensive than dry cleaner tailor but well worth it.

BEWARE!!!

Brought in a pair of pants that the hem had come out of - just needed to be re-hemmed in the SAME SPOT. They go ahead and LENGTHEN the pants by 1.5 inches for no reason and when I request that they return the hem to the original place, they then go ahead and SHORTEN the things! Should have been a simple request but now I am out $15 and 3 trips to that stupid place, had to undo the hem myself so I can bring them elsewhere to have the job done right - seriously?!

• Pros: Good if you are looking to waste time
• Cons: Don't seem to want to hem things the way you request
