I literally don’t understand their rating! It’s a 5 star for me for sure! It was my second time going there today and I altered four of my jeans which were very big and they did such an incredible job especially for $60! They are super prompt and I can’t even tell it was altered.. it looks so so good! Highly recommend this place!

Lee's Tailor Shop saved my favorite jeans! Amazing work! I had a fantastic experience at Lee's Tailor Shop and am incredibly grateful for their expertise! I brought in a pair of jeans that I had accidentally cut too short myself. I thought they were ruined, but the team at Lee's had a brilliant solution. They suggested and perfectly executed adding a fabric cuff to the bottom of the jeans to give them the necessary length. The resulting fit is perfect, and the new cuff looks stylish and intentional—you would never know it was a "fix"! The staff was friendly, professional, and understood exactly what I needed. The turnaround time was also very quick. I highly recommend them for any alterations, especially creative fixes like this. They are true pros!

They ruined my $340 dress! I brought in a brand new formal dress for a wedding I was attending for alterations. The top of the dress needed to be taken and hemmed. I Had to go five times for various issues with the fit first being too tight then with the hem being crooked and the lining hanging below the hem among other things. Then I noticed that the fabric on the seams where seam had been let out was shredded. They denied any responsibility and accused me of tearing the fabric. They did not refund my money and ruined a perfectly good dress.

I got three pants tailored and hemmed to perfection by these lovely ladies! Great work! I also got a few coats with pockets opened. As you can see in one of them, the stitching isn’t quite straight, but it at least it’s hidden by the flap. It that’s my fault for trying to open it myself, but they were able to repair it. So next time, I know just to bring it in to these talented women! Fast and efficient, and the work is always done when they say it will be. They also opened all the front pockets on my coats, but I forgot to specify that the coats also had inside pockets that needed to be open as well, so I’ll go back for that soon. All around stellar job!

Lee's Tailor Shop was so friendly & helpful. Originally, they let out my dress a bit too much & it had to be taken back in. They corrected alterations at no additional charge. The prices here were a fraction of what other tailors quoted & they worked much quicker. I needed all alterations completed in roughly 6 weeks & they had everything done with time to spare. They took in the corseted bodice, hemmed the gown & added a bustle.
