They really saved my butt here. I was up a creek having bought a specialty dance dress from an online seller and found that the measurements given were incorrect — 9″ off in the waist to be exact. The tailor who handled my last dress, Liz’s in Sugar Land, told me it wasn’t worth her time to fix. The second tailor I saw, per glowing Unilocal reviews, Nhu’s — wanted $ 400 – 500 to fix it. I walked into Nick Lopez’s scared beyond belief of what might happen next.
I was quickly reassured that yes, this was fixable. I asked him, «about how much?» I was told he would have to pin it to guess. I was standing there scared as he pinned me before he finally said, «$ 85». I was stunned. He then said, «If you’d let me, it’ll look better with sleeves taken in as well, I can do it all for $ 125». I gladly accepted, and went over with him several times about the proper fit of the dress since it’s not all the time someone walks in with an Irish Dance dress. I also asked them to please save all the crystals off the dress and checked several times before leaving that they understood the proper fit.
The tailor was very reassuring and gave me an estimate of about a week before handing me a parking voucher and ushering me out.
The next week was hard as I was thinking I sent my dress off to a chop shop and it wouldn’t be fixable. But I was wrong — it fit like a glove!
I was completely amazed at their workmanship and how they got the fit right, saved all my crystals, and just overall did a fantastic job. After viewing the dress, I had a question about how it was lining up on a side seam, but the tailor who actually took it in came out to talk to me and showed me how it was unavoidable.
My only complaint was they removed a piece for a clip, but it’s a small mistake and I didn’t notice until a few weeks later.
Overall — miracle workers.

My husband has gotten 2 blazers made from here. Both are beautiful! My husband gets warm pretty easily so he had these made without a lining, I think he said they were deconstructed. And he can move around in them so easily and when he moves his arms the the shoulder portion of the blazer doesn’t move up like it did with his old blazers. He also got a linen dress shirt to try because it’s supposed to be better for staying cool. If it works out when the weather gets warmer then we’ll have to get some more dress shirts made.
We also got a few things altered here. My husband got his old dress shirts modified and I needed to get a dress repaired. I guess my dress was an easy fix because they fixed it when I brought it in and didn’t even charge me. I guess the tailoring work can be pricey but they do a great job.

Great place! Have been here a few times to drop off/​pick up items for work. They do a fantastic job and everyone here is very courteous! :)

In order to understand why I’m only giving this place 2 stars, let me talk you through my experience with them.
On my initial visit I took in 2 new suits and a pair of slacks to be altered. Suits jackets needed sleeves shorted and waists taken in just a bit. Suit slacks needed to be hemmed and waists/​seats taken in a small amount. The third pair of slacks needed the waist and seat taken in. This amount of work was $ 500+
I made the mistake of picking up my alterations and telling them I’d try them on when I got home. When I got home, one of the suit jacket sleeves was so bad I could barely get my arm through the sleeve. One of the suit slacks only had one side of the seat taken in. It was obvious they just failed to make the alterations on both sides of the seat/​legs. I tried on the third pair of slacks and initially thought «these aren’t my slacks» but they fit and I just told myself I was going crazy. They were pretty close so maybe I was just being paranoid (we’ll come back to that).
So when I take the suit jacket and slacks back to Nick’s to be redone, I also took in a suit that needed some work (jacket waist taken in and slacks waist/​seat taken in). So that means on this trip I took in a two-​piece suit, one suit jacket, and pair of suit slacks.
When I returned to pick up this last alterations order, the real fun began. I gave them my ticket and they come back with just the suit. They say, «You had just the suit?». I told them know and that I also had a suit jacket and slacks. While trying on the suit, they come back with the two pairs of slacks! The one from my latest trip, and you guessed it, my original slacks from my first order. No kidding. They then say, «so you had a suit and two slacks?». I told them no and they had me go back in the back with them to all of their other customers orders to help look for the jacket. After some looking, I find it on a hanger with another customer’s slacks with a similar material that someone must have thought matched my jacket. No tag on my jacket. For all they knew I could have just taken someone else’s jacket.
So I end up paying another $ 100+ for the alterations to the suit from my second order. For this price the alterations weren’t that spectacular. I thought I’d feel like my suits fit better but I still felt like the suits could all fit better. May as well save some money at a more reasonable place. Plus, at this price point I’d expect much better organization and care for my order. I wonder what the customer whose pants I still have in my closet is thinking. Hopefully he doesn’t come asking for them before I’m able to take them back to Nick’s. I never saw «Nick» so maybe he is reason for this place having such a great reputation. Who knows. The lady there tried to blame their new computer system for the fiasco. Very disappointed.
I’d consider giving them one star. I gave them two stars because the people working there were at least nice and apologetic.

One of the best tailors in Houston, and worth every penny.
And the family is awsome.

Nick is the best ! I have suits that he made years ago and still in excellent shape. You get what you pay for…

If you want it done right, go to Nick Lopez Tailoring. I wouldn’t be taking cheap replaceable items here but things you care about and want to make sure a good job is being done, this is the place.
I bought a new suit from Theory and I really wanted it to fit like a glove so I brought it here. The place is nice and clean and has a window to see the work that is being done. You just get a good sense of workmanship. When I came in, I put on the suit, and he pinned the adjustments he thought I needed. This was exactly what I was looking for since some places ask you what adjustments you want, which makes no sense to me. I picked the adjustments I wanted and came back one week later to pick it up. They do have an option for quicker completions but I wasn’t in a hurry.
With all that said, the place is a bit pricey. With $ 25 a hem you know it isn’t cheap. I also got the jacket taken in a little and that was $ 45. So make your judgement on the clothing item if you think it is worth it or not.
If you have high expectations for quality and price is not as high of a concern, this is the palce to go. The customer service, workmanship, and overall experience is top notch.

Has anyone ever had this happen to them?
You see the most perfect designer dress on the saks sale rack… it was originally $ 2000, but for some reason it is marked down to $ 180…
Then you realize it’s a size 10 and you are a size 4?
Yeah, it happens… More often than you know.
Nick however, can make it work for you.
A friend of mine once bought a Zac Posen dress from the Australia target line on ebay… she got confused by the sizing and wanted to wear the dress for her birthday party the next day. Nick made a size 2 dress into a size 6 in less than 24 hours.
After witnessing this, I became a Nick fan. When I need something really special tailored, I go to him.
This man can do miracles!
His prices are higher than most tailors, so I wouldn’t go to get my jeans hemmed or to get a button fixed on a dress, but for really high quality pieces, Nick is the man.

If you don’t go to Nicks for your Fine clothing — you don’t have a genuine tailored one of a kind suit.
And if you don’t appreciate the quality, you won’t understand the cost.
