The best expertise in clothing from all eras – I have to say after being highly recommended by my 2 favortie vintage dealers, I started to take my beloved items to Irene and her team. I have been going there for over a year, and I will only take my precious clothing only to Irene and her staff. I do not want anyone else to touch, yet alone work on my clothing. I have to say their friendliness, professionalism and their quality of work is by far a hidden treasure in NYC. I trust Irene and her team with my most precious expens... read more

Great work, friendly service – I took my wedding gown and my fiancee's linen suit here to be altered. My dress was a relatively simple a line silk shantung dress that needed to come in significantly in the bust and be hemmed 6 inches. I also wanted removable straps made so that later in the evening I could stop worrying about the strapless top. The dress fits perfectly now and the owner made very clever little straps that are easy to remove and do not disrupt the lines of the dress when they are not attached. The suit also c... read more

Impeccable work and incredible service! – Since moving to New York I have tried several different places to alter my clothes and this place is by far THE BEST!!!! Irene is a sweetheart and she REALLY knows how to fit garments well. I would not trust my clothes to anyone else now that I have discovered them and recommend them to anyone. I do know that one of the employees sadly became very ill- so I imagine that it was during that time the unhappy reviewer called and is now writing about. This place is a gem and I am now usin... read more

APOLOGY & EXPLANATION FROM OWNER – Hello, my name is Irene and I am the owner of Silhouettes and Profiles. I heard that there have been some negative reviews about my company and I'd like to offer an apology and an explanation for it. The manager of Silhouettes and Profiles had found out that they were very sick and before taking a leave of absence, was somewhat discourteous with the customers. I'd like to apologize for this and let all new and old customers know that with the manager's leave of absence, I assure all custome... read more

BEST TAILORING!! – I'm not sure if I agree with the review below, only because there was a short interval of time when one of the employees was very sick and she may have been a bit off from her usual self, so I'd apologize for that person's experience, but I know that I go there with anything I need altered, from my wedding dress that I had done, to regular clothes that need to be fitted. They have great service, the friendliest owner, Irene, and everything is done on time and in the highest quality. I recommend this place ... read more

BEWARE!!! – I saw this had great reviews on citysearch, including an editorial award, so I brought my bridesmaid dress here to get some minor tailoring done. I called a week before the wedding to confirm the alterations were being done, and was told she was too busy to check on my dress. I called back again that day and she coldly informed me that they would not be able to get the alterations done in time, despite assuring me from the outset that the time period was fine. Now I am scrambling to get alterations!! I am sure th... read more
