Chantilly Lace

fair priced for great and fast work!

Chantilly Lace is a great place to go to get quality alterations done. It is not cheap but for simple alterations I have found that the prices are the same as what I am quoted at a dry cleaners/​laundry that does alterations. More complicated and intricate alterations and materials will be costly here but the quality of the alterations is worth it, especially if you are dealing with a nice item that you want done right. The turnaround time is pretty quick and service is always friendly!

I came to this tailor with a bridesmaid dress (actually, a jumpsuit) that fit me terribly, and he did an absolutely beautiful job making it fit my body. He really understands how clothing is structured and can look at something and know exactly what needs to be done to it. He does all of his work on a mannequin so the end result is flawless.
I recommend that you call the shop to make sure it’s open before you go, since it’s small and family run, it’s possible they closed early or stayed open later than you thought.
I’m so happy I found him and will be bringing many more dresses and clothing back to be tailored!

The best tailor in the neighborhood. Super friendly, very professional and accommodating for special requests (short notice etc.). He is really knowledgable.
I’ve come to him for alteration of suits, shirts, dress pants and jeans and his work was always great. Yes, sometimes a small correction was necessary but that’s natural with alterations. I highly recommend Sardar.

I will never go back to this place, horrible customer service and terrible quality alterations. It took over a month to get s dress back for a simple hem at the bottom of the dress. When I tried on the dress after having it altered, he left a train on my dress, when I had never requested this, which I brought back to have it fixed. THEN after only ONE wear and after spending 55 dollars on a job I could’ve done a better myself, the entire hem came out. A. This should not happen after one wear and b. This was the only alteration I had made and it couldn’t even hold?! I brought it back to show him and request that he fix this complementary since I only wore it once and clearly it hadn’t been done efficiently, and he was rude and argumentative. Customer service and relationships are everything, but apparently not in this situation…(not to mention I’m a 20-​something girl with tons of friends getting married and would’ve given him a glowing review had he been polite and provided good quality alterations)

I had such a positive experience working with Sandar to alter my wedding gown and another dress that was too big for another wedding. Sandar was extremely friendly and accommodating. He was able to get the job done within my time frame and paid great attention to every little detail. Also, his prices are very reasonable. He obviously works hard and cares about making his customers happy. He came into the shop early the day I needed my gown. He had it on the manniquen waiting for me. I highly recommend Chantilly Lace!

Amazing attention to detail, they listened to my alteration and went above and beyond to help me create the dress of my dreams. Thank you guys so much!!!

Great alterations ! Also I thought I had to throw out my expensive winter coat because the zipper was broke & coming off but he made it brand new again. Sadar is a genius, the dresses he designs and makes himself are beautiful. I told him, you should’ve been a designer and he replied I’m not young anymore

I’ve been going here for years. I love Sardar and his wife. They are such wonderful people. Prices are reasonable, quality is excellent and the customer service is impeccable. Sometimes they take a little longer than I would like to get a dress made but literally that’s because Sardar is always swamped with work. I live next door and the man never stops working! He is a gem. Check out my pictures of the dresses he has made me

I was very disappointed with the service that I received. I would not recommend Chantilly Lace to a friend. I have had many other experiences with tailors, and I believe the quality provided by Chantilly Lace is far from the quality of other tailors that I have dealt with. I will never ever go back again!

Stumbled upon this place by accident and really glad that I did! They were able to rush my alterations and they came out perfect. I will definitely be back. Thanks!

Wonderful wonderful tailors! Great price, best in neighborhood. And the work is masterful. I read the bad reviews and was nervous but most people only review when they’re angry anyway so I have them a shot. Had a wonderful experience. Serdar and his wife are really kind and they both have a great eye.

I went here at 7:30pm on a Monday and they were already closed contrary to their hours posted on Unilocal

Amateur at best. We have been going since they first opened, and the quality has been going down hill at a rapid pace. I just recently brought a dress in to be altered, they took in too much and then charged me to take it back out. I will never ever go back!

I got a dress altered here and it was a customer service NIGHTMARE!!! While the work done was good considering they took a size 10 dress and altered it to my size 4 frame, I have to say I will NOT be going back here ever again. The alterations cost me more than the dress but I will always pay up for good work and was really hopeful about this store. Problem 1: they told me my dress would be ready on the 30^th which gave them about a week to complete a hem, a shortening of the halter (neck) and taking in the bust area. When I came to get my dress at 1pm I saw it hanging on the hanger the same way I left it a week ago and they told me they were «working on it» and still needed 3 more hours so I had to come back. They had not touched it. I detest liars especially when I’m paying you a lot of money. I was given a sob story about them being down a worker, but if that was the case they had my phone number and could have called to save me the trip! So I come back and try the dress on. Problem #2: the chest was pulling and the darts needed to be taken in a little. I asked if he would do it for no extra charge since I was already inconvenienced and the the gentleman in charge laughed at me. He told me he would give me a «good price». I came to find out later that his «good price» was still 40% inflated. I was so frustrated that I decided to take my dress the way it was and left. Not so fast! Problem #3: «We only take cash» I was told as I was handing over my card. There is no signage or warning when you drop anything off. While I understand that this might be the practice at a few places they should tell you this when you drop your clothing off NOT when you are ready to leave. I had to go next door to an ATM which added another few dollars onto my already ridiculously expensive and annoying experience with these people! Save your money and go to the Fresh Season cleaners on 3^rd ave btwn 34^th and 35^th. They do an incredible job for the RIGHT price!

This is the best tailor shop I have been to in NYC! The customer service is wonderful, its a cute mom and pop shop, prices extremely fair, and always a great experience. I used to go to my dry cleaners for alternations but they were poor quality and double the price. I def recommend this place!

I went in with the design of my dress and saw a more pleasing dress in the store. I ended up getting that dress made. :-)
I received excellent customer service and the dress was ready by the deadline.
The price was reasonable.
I will definitely return, I have a cocktail dress that needs some altering.
