Unlike all others! – The ladies at Silhouettes & Profiles are absolutely incredible! I brought them my old cashmere sweater to fix after discovering it was completely moth-eaten. It?s nothing fancy, but it was given to me by a dear friend and I didn?t want it laying around, collecting dust. They are true artists, or should I say magicians? They took a long look at the sweater, told me they had an idea, and when I came to pick it up in just a few weeks, I was speechless?. my ruined sweater was a work of art! Every hole was a ... read more
OMG! THEY ARE AMAZING! – Simply the best alteration place in NYC!!!!!!!! They are not cheap but definitely worth it. The quality of their work is perfect and no other tailor can do what these talented ladies can. I have been their customer for a long time and I strongly recommend that place!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, Silhouettes & Profiles does men's clothes alteration too! But what makes this place absolutely amazing is the fact that Irene (owner) and Anna design and sell their own clothes too. They carry the most gorgeous and... read more
Simply Wonderful – Both Irina and Anna were extremely kind and helpful when I came to Silhouettes & Profiles to have a dress altered for my wedding. I was so worried before meeting them because I wanted the dress to be perfect...and it was thanks to them. The alterations were perfect and I plan on returning to them because I know they are so talented. I would recommend them to my family and friends and truly can't say enough good things about them. It is so rare to find individuals who not only excel at their craft but are s... read more
Irina saved my dress! – I'm singing Irina's praises. I had a traditional, very elegant, silk Chinese Cheong-sam dress that I had bought several years ago for my brother's wedding. It has a great deal of sentimental value to me. I had the opportunity to wear it again to my boyfriend's brother's wedding, but I needed to have it taken in (I had lost about 15-20 pounds). I stupidly brought it to the taylor at my dry cleaners and twhen I picked it up, the line was all wrong. It was twisted and didn't lay right in the back at all.... read more
10 Stars!!!! The Most Extrodinary Dressmker...... – I have been a client of Irina for 7 years. I've just read all the four star reviews. How can I elaborate on what everyone has said? There are those people who are born and blessed with special gifts. Great dancers such as Baryshnikov, great actors like Tom Hanks, great minds as Albert Einstein. Irina without a doubt, belongs in this category.of gifted people. She is extraordinary and brilliant, she creates magic in everything she touches. A magician of the cloth. As a forme... read more
Men's Suits – I brought in a designer name suit that I got from an online outlet (Overstock) and the pants were ridiculously small. They literally had to rebuild the pants by reconstructing the waistband, and they now fit perfectly. These folks are experts! You need to allow sufficient time (a couple of weeks) for the job to be done, but you WILL be pleased.
custom tailoring/vintage clothing restoration – I have been collecting and selling vintage clothing for approximately thirty-five years and had been recommended to Silhouettes and Profiles many years ago by a fellow vintage clothing dealer. Irene and Anna, her very capable assistant, are not merely seamstresses, but actually artists and often times "miracle workers". Several months ago, I had brought them a 1920's beaded dress with the entire back panel missing. I was actually embarrassed to admit how much I had paid for it.... read more
best tailor in New York! – This tailor is fantastic. Everyone I came in contact with, including the extremely talented seamstress who ended up doing the work on my dress, was friendly, competent and - most importantly - very skilled! I walked in without an appointment and was promptly helped. They have a trained eye and really know their trade. The alterations I needed were rather tricky (I wanted to add sleeves to a sleeveless evening dress) and required quite a bit of skill and vision. In the end, my dress looked as though... read more
Best Tailor in town!! – Irene and her team are amazing! They make the impossible, possible...couture, vintage, favorite designer pieces...whatever you bring them, they fix, alter, repair for a fair and very reasonable price!! I trust them 100% and have never been disappointed. You sense their passion for what they do and their respect and admiration for the clothes they touch. Excellent advise, creative, professional and super friendly!!
