Top Custom tailors in Alexandria, United States

The lady who helped me was very nice. Everything was simple and straightforward. The price was very reasonable and the results were perfect.

My husband and I worked with Luis (junior) earlier this year to make a wedding suit for an indoor/outdoor wedding. We didn't know what type of suit we wanted, had never custom made any clothing and didn't know much about fit or style. We only knew we didn't want something very thick and heavy, and wanted something that could be used for many different kinds of occasions.

Luis walked us through fabrics, colors, styles/design options, and fit - everything from A to Z and gave lots of good advice. We learned a lot! Luis even gave us some additional tips on shirt, tie, shoes and other accessories that would complement the suit.

On the wedding day, my husband was very handsome and confident. We definitely recommend Luis for any type of suit custom/bespoke. His price was fair, he was great to work with, and we loved the product in the end. Thanks for making our wedding planning a bit easier!

Was quoted $200 for my dress alterations. The dress is worth less than that, but I needed the alterations (bridesmaid dress). She told me I had to text her to remind her of my appointment.. I find this super unprofessional, but I text her nonetheless. She forgets our appointment the first time around. From that point forward, every single appointment was pushed back, within 10 minutes of the start time, including one where she altogether forgot again. I texted her before each appointment - it didn’t help. The alterations weren’t complete until 3 weeks later, and most of the appointments started by me waiting in the tailoring shop while she sewed the dress for 15-20 minutes. I came to the shop 5 times for one dress. She obviously didn’t have the bandwidth to take on the dress at the start and should have said so. She tried to get me to pay more than the initial quote because it was more work than anticipated. I have refused to pay more as she never told me along the way it would be more expensive. I am really upset with the experience here- definitely wouldn’t recommend and won’t be returning.

The service was excellent and better than other drycleaning businesses. They even measure your clothes here! This is one of the many reasons that Old Town Alexandria is one of the best places to live where most of the businesses and stores are family oriented people.

I took 2 suits to Luis for tailoring, and he did a great job. I gave them a somewhat short timeline but they were able to complete it in time, and the end result was great, with reasonable prices as well. I will definitely be back!

Quite possibly the best tailor I have been to. Luis does really great work and for a very reasonable price. I have had a number of suit jackets and pants altered and the quality of the alterations has always been nothing short of excellent. Luis knows his stuff and charges a fair price. Will keep going to him unless I move out of the DMV!

I love this place! Luis is very skilled in his work and is a great man to deal with.

I have had pants made there and can't wait to get a full suit made when I have time. It's great to finally have pants that actually fit me perfectly. They have really cool and unique fabrics available in the shop and can also help you select one to order if you don't find one you like.

I have been going to Luis for over 15 years and despite moving from Old Town to DC, will still drive back to Old Town to see him. His work is excellent and prices very fair. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. He is an absolute expert in his trade and he has helped me with formal gowns, ski pants, leather, and basic hem jobs. I never worry about buying off the rack, because Luis tailors all my work clothes to my body for a sartorial fit. Best tailor in the DC area!

Everything is always done perfectly and on time.
I have been going here for 9 years.
