Quality of Tailoring

Pros:

  • "Once I put the jacket on I barely had to say anything before I was expertly pinned in all the right places."
  • "The end product was amazing and I could not have been happier with the job that he did!!"
  • "Expert tailoring and efficient service at a fairly reasonable price."
  • "He made the dress look like it was originally made for me."
  • "Peter matched up all the lines perfectly, pure perfection."
  • "They make sure the dress fits you like a glove."
  • "His work is amazing. He is meticulous, detail-oriented, and when he is done, the garment looks as though it were made for me, and his work is undetectable."

Cons:

  • "I needed a wool and fur coat I have taken in so that it could fit for the winter... I went to pick it up and the coat was not even touched!"
  • "Got a bridemaid dress tailored here for a wedding I was in at the last minute. The dress wasn’t taken out in the right areas so unfortunately had to pin it together the day of the wedding."
  • "The stitching was incredibly sloppy too. It looked like a rushed, ripped even, job."
  • "Yes, Peter added the panel but in such a sloppy way the dress is unwearable, at least if one would like to do so confidently."
  • "They nearly RUINED my wedding dress."
  • "I had the worst experience with this dressmaker... He made a shell for my maid of honor dress which was made out of the wrong material."
  • "I brought my WEDDING DRESS, not just some pair of pants to work, to this shop... the hem was EASILY a half inch shorter and now I am forced to go BAREFOOT to my wedding."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "The service is amazing, Peter is aways so accommodating, patient and kind."
  • "They are very friendly and do their absolute best to ensure the job is done right the first time."
  • "We are blessed to have a Master Tailor like Peter in Chesnut Hill."
  • "They always do a marvelous job at Sue's and I love the nice clean lines of the finished product that many other 'tailors' fail to achieve."
  • "The owners are kind and welcoming, and their space is charming! I highly recommend their services!"
  • "They are warm and friendly."
  • "Very kind, friendly, respectful, and skilled people."

Cons:

  • "Now I’m reading over some of their bad reviews, I’m so glad they rushed me out of their store."
  • "She was condescending to say the least."
  • "He seemed annoyed and shoved my material into my bag which was offensive and very dismissive."
  • "There is a fairly severe language barrier, and they seemed to be rushing me through the fitting."
  • "I deeply regret going to Sue’s and hope no one else has an experience similar to mine."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "At first, the price may turn you off a bit if you are used to the department store pricing."
  • "They are reasonably priced. It will now be my go-to place for alterations."
  • "Such beautiful work (at very reasonable prices) and such kind, gentlemanly people."
  • "For the amount of work that needed to go into this dress the pricing was excellent."
  • "However, the amount I had to pay was extremely fair price and it was worth every penny."
  • "They were efficient, professional, and offered an affordable price!"
  • "The price was reasonable and I HIGHLY recommend this tailor."

Cons:

  • "They were nice but the shop felt uncomfortable, the tailor seemed rushed, I didn't get exactly what I wanted, and they were a little overpriced."

Timeliness and Reliability

Pros:

  • "He was quick and he is great at what he does... my fiance also had his and his groomsman suit altered with Peter as well."
  • "They went above and beyond what was needed."
  • "He pinned it carefully and accommodated my rushed job and charged me a very fair affordable price for it."
  • "Today I went back for a rushed request for my graduation dress to be tailored from a maxi to a midi with the slit closed. I came on a Wednesday with no appointment but he gladly accepted me and he was able to tell me to pick up on Saturday!!!! Talk about superior service!"
  • "They altered my wedding dress so quickly."
  • "I came in for a second fitting and requested to pick it up earlier and they were able to do so!"
  • "Thank you so much Sue's Tailor Shop!! I'm a cheerleader for the Philadelphian Flyers and needed a uniform altering with only 4 days notice, they did an amazing job & for a reasonable rate!"

Cons:

  • "Peter had not started tailoring the dress. In fact there were several orders ahead of mine to complete but he assured me it was a simple process and to come back as scheduled."
  • "My fiancé took a dress here to get altered and told him she needed it by Wednesday... Well she got there at 5:45 PM to pick it up and they had closed already with her dress she needs inside."
  • "We have been calling since July and it is now November and no one answers the phone!!!"
  • "Peter did have to push back the date that the dresses would be ready."
