These dressmakers use magic! – Thank you Citysearch for introducing me to Silhouettes & Profiles last year. I have since gone back many times. Whether it's vintage clothing, new clothes, or old clothes that need updating and altering, I can't say enough good things about the remarkable artistry and talent of these women. They have salvaged many vintage dresses I've found so that they fit perfectly and are expertly repaired. Old suits of mine that were destined for the thrift shop because they were so hopelessly out of date a... read more

Great work and service – I brought my grandmother's 1940s black gown to Silhouettes & Profiles hoping to have it tailored for the Columbia University Ball with only a weeks notice...they were so nice and understanding that they got it back to me before the actual event date! Their work is flawless and to the T. I had the chest taken in, zipper replaced, and elastic replaced. The gown looked amazing! Also, when I was about to leave, I noticed a minor tear under the sleeve that I hadn't pointed out to them to fix the week prio... read more

They can tailor ANYTHING – These ladies are excellent. Anna altered a bridesmaid dress for me that was basically unwearable. They were able to add inserts on the neckline while keeping the v-neck essence. They really are remarkable. I would take even the most un-alter-able piece of clothing here to see what they could do. Truly a find!!!

These women work miracles – Irina and Anna are the kindest and most perfectionistic craftspeople. I have lived in NYC for over for 40 years. I have used many tailors in my many years including some of tops on Madison Avenue. I just bought a vintage 1930's gown which they did a most fabulous reworking. I can not recommend Silhouettes & Profiles more highly. They are so attentive to details and are so accomodating. You must try them.... SPS

Wonderful! – I needed to alter a window treatment which had been mistakenly measured and required an involved alteration. Silhouettes & Profiles did an amazing job fixing it, and at a reasonable cost. Since then, my wife and I have used them for more typical clothing alterations and they've been fantastic!

Can Alter What Others Cannot – I purchased a designer gown while on vacation in Puerto Rico. It was unique,a lovely shade of red,elegant, but made for a much larger woman. No tailors in my area of NJ would attempt to alter it. After reading the glowing reviews on City Search, I decided to give them a try. Irene is a magician. She completely redesigned the bodice, made new straps, and altered the gown so that it looks like it was made just for me. Anna, the young woman who assists and usually answers the phone is delightful a... read more

Wedding Dress Alterations – The ladies at Silouettes and Profiles were all so friendly and helpful. I have been a professional dancer for 20 years and have had many costumes custom made for my body. I felt very confident when I brought my wedding dress in to be altered.They were all so patient with me as I am a nervous bride and don't know much about how a wedding dress should fit. I felt very calm as they made choices in the alterations that actually made my dress look even more beautiful. There are no hidden fees and their... read more

I Have used many tailors in the US including Silhouettes & Profiles .most of them are just out of college students recruited for measuring and the tailoring is done by people in Asia. so you ultimately rely on Second hand service at an Expensive price.in most of the cases it is cash upfront. I have tried a real visiting tailor from Bangkok, "Savile Row Tailor". He was recommended to me by my Business colleagues in Bangkok and travels for Measurement taking 2 to 3 times a year to the US. I had 1 Suit 450 USD and a deal of 5 S... read more
