Sewing And Alterations in Boston

“Shawmut Carpets Care was wonderful. The owner does a great job at explaining the process and how eco friendly it was. For the carpets being 2 years old with a dog and toddler the carpets looked and smelled brand new. Thank you for making them clean again.“

“Awesome dry cleaners. They were able to get me next day dry cleaning on 7 items. Prompt and great service, and clear communication. Very nice people, too! I highly recommend.“

“Both my husband and I brought our wedding attire for tailoring. The team did an impeccable job. I wanted a customized side slit in my wedding gown, and they created one for me perfectly. Our attire was steamed, pressed, and ready to go weeks in advance, allowing us time to try it on one last time. I will always bring my garments here.“

“Toni did a wonderful job reweaving an alpaca wool coat for me. This coat was very precious to me and had fallen victim to clothes moths with 22 small holes in total! The jacket was completely repaired and just like new. I highly recommend Columbo Reweaving.“

“Mai is the kindest, most lovely person and does an excellent job with all my clothes!“

“They are very reliable and timely, the work is neat and they are so personable. Always service with a smile.“

“Excellent dry cleaner. The owner, Farshad, is extremely knowledgeable about fabric care and different types of materials. I had a few dresses that another dry cleaner told me could not be cleaned because the colors might bleed. When I brought them to Farshad, he was able to clean them beautifully without any issues. Not only that, he also took the time to explain how to properly care for this type of fabric in the future, which I really appreciated.

They also use environmentally friendly green cleaning, which makes me feel safe bringing my clothes there. My garments always come back looking perfect. I highly recommend this place for anyone who cares about quality garment care.“

“Highly recommend Bihn and the team at All-Fit Tailoring! The entire experience was professional and well communicated.

They did a beautiful job bustling and hemming my dress. It looked absolutely stunning! They also added removable sleeves for me for the ceremony, which worked like a charm.

If you need a wedding dress tailor, this is the one to use ❤️“

“I cannot recommend Honovan enough! I had my wedding dress altered here, and they did such an amazing job. The dress fits perfectly and was returned to me in better condition than when I brought it in, they were very quick with their services but did not cut corners, and the price was very fair. Plus, they are very kind people to work with! I am so happy with the services that I received from Honovan; I will definitely be a returning customer and recommend it for anyone seeking high quality services at good prices.“

“So good. Cleaned my fur lined jacket perfectly without damaging fur. All of the stains were removed. Jacket looked brand new!“

“Carlos is a fantastic tailor with a lot of talent, expertise, outstanding skills, but also lots of mental aquity into the customer's perspective and desires. He has pride in his work and, most importantly he was very patient to address even the tiniest details! Great service!“

“Kokel saved my marriage:
I had commissioned a bespoke wedding suit elsewhere, a decision that will haunt me until my dying breath. The stitching pulled like it was trying to escape. The fabric sagged in places it should never, and wrinkled tightly everywhere else. The suit didn’t drape so much as surrender. It was an absolute mess.

My fiancée missed no opportunity to remind me that I had procrastinated and now she would have to hire a chippendale to stand in for me. Taller. Better posture. Less puckering…

Desperate, out of time, and armed with nothing but google reviews, I took a chance on Kenan Kokel. Upon arriving, he questioned me like I was running a sting operation. “Who made the suit? When? Why?”

I put on the suit. He looked at it not two seconds before telling me it was “terrible work.” Without warning, he pulled a razor blade from behind his ear like he was Tommy Shelby, and he began slashing my wedding suit open while I was still wearing it. This is a bold customer-retention strategy. Effective, but bold.

As fabric fell away, he calmly identified every issue I had noticed—and several I hadn’t—explaining how the balance was off, how the panels were fighting each other, how the suit (like me) had lost the will to live.

I asked, meekly, if he was comfortable working on bespoke suits. High-end Italian wool. Complex construction.

He ushered me into the back room.

It was a war zone. Suit parts everywhere. Half-finished jackets hanging like fallen soldiers. Rolls of fabric so beautiful I briefly considered leaving my fiancée for one of them. This was not a tailor shop. This was a command center.

“You don’t worry. I do this all day, leave this with me,” he said, with the quiet confidence that can only be possessed by a Middle Eastern man who escaped an oppressive regime is his twenties.

Leave it with him, I did.

He didn’t just fix the suit. He dismantled it. Opened every seam. Corrected every panel. Rebuilt it from the inside out like a Savile Row Frankenstein. And he finished early.

When I put it on again, it fit like a glove. A glove that lifts weights and respects deadlines.

Chippendales got nothing on me.

If you need a tailor, go to Kokel. And bring cash.“

“We are very lucky in the South End to have Shawmut Place! I highly recommend for hemming all pants/Jeans etc. Thry are always timely too.“
