Best Tailor in NYC – I have lived in NYC for 12 years and have been a bridesmaid more times than I would like. For the latest wedding, I had a dress that was 2 sizes too big and impossible to tailor, but Irina and her team are amazing and miracle workers. Not only did they create a great dress but they did it super quick. The entire team and staff is extremely friendly and they really know what they are doing. I am coming back here for everything, even if it's a simple hem on my jeans.

Vintage Couture Skirt Revived! – About 8 years ago I purchased and Armani couture silk and heavily beaded skirt which was in need of repair. It was so heavy with beading, sequins, pearls and Swarovski crystals that it weighed on the waistband to the point of shredding the edges. But, alas, I loved the skirt and put it away for future use. My daughter became engaged and the wedding was coming up. What to wear? So out came the skirt, still in disrepair. I brought it to the LOVELY people at Silhouettes and Profiles, not sure th... read more

Miracle Workers – With a crazy schedule and as a huge procrastinator, I delayed on taking my bridesmaid's dress in to get tailored for my cousins wedding on June 6th. I ordered it online from jcrew at the 10th hour and unfortuntately the only size they had left was one size too small. I kept telling myself that I would manage to lose a few pounds to fit into the green silk dress, but with two wks to the wedding, I knew i had to take it in to get tailored. The funny thing is the dress does fit (I am a size four from the midse... read more

They were amazing!! – I went to Silhouettes and Profiles to have my wedding dress tailored. I had a very difficult dress (with many layers) and every other tailor was quoting really high prices for the work. I bought the dress at a sample sale and couldn't afford paying alot for the tailoring. Silhouettes were the best priced I could find and the work never suffered from the low cost. They did an amazing job!! When I didn't like any of the typical bustle looks they made me a custom bustle at no extra charge. I will be going ... read more

Highly recommended! – I had a bridesmaid's dress for my sister's wedding that was a disaster--the bust was too small making my cleavage look pornographic, the lining around the hips was too tight, and the length was more than 8 inches too long. Worse, I needed the dress to be fixed in only 3 days. After a quick review of my situation, the ladies of Silouettes & Profiles fixed my dress perfectly and almost instantly. I was so anxious when I took the dress in, and now that I have the final result, I feel like the world's lovel... read more

Quality and service you can't shake your bustles at! – I was looking for a dressmaker to do alterations on my beautiful Christos wedding gown. I am new to the city, so had to ask around to find a reliable place, but nothing reasonable and conveniently turned up in my "network search" :) So, I Yelped it! [Sorry, Yelp has been my local search of choice, but I'm willing to take Citysearch for a spin.] The shop is located on the second floor of an apartment building, right across the street from the 72nd & Broadway subway stop. ... read more

Excellent job! – I bought my wedding dress more than a year before my actual wedding. I lost a considerable amount of weight when I finally took to get it altered. For sure I thought that nothing could be done. However, the people at Silhouettes & Profiles were very accommodating. They made this dress look like it was custom made for me. I cannot stress how wonderful of a job they did. They were very professional and did a wonderful job for the price. It was of the highest quality. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone... read more

Truly the best Tailor around – At 6 months pregnant, I took a bridesmaid dress to be altered. There was a LOT of work to be done to the dress that was way too small and they did an AMAZING job. Not only were they able to take it out and make it fit, but at the wedding I got multiple compliments on the way it looked an fit. It took some work, but they were great, helpful and timely. I can't say enough good things about them and HIGHLY recommend them. I'll be back.

The Best! – I was very fussy about the way I wanted my bridesmaid dress to be altered but the ladies at Silhouettes & Profiles were not only extremely patient and understanding about it, but they also made me feel like it wasn’t a problem at all. At first I was dreading to wear the dress - it just wasn’t flattering me… but which bridesmaid dress does, right? Well, somehow though it was altered in the way that made me feel good about myself and I can confidently say that I have never seen so beautifully fitted dress on me. I ... read more
