Sometimes your clothes just don’t fit the way they should. Maybe the sleeves are too long, maybe the waist is too ambitious, or maybe your favorite pants took a hit in a laundry incident we don’t talk about anymore.
Brooklyn’s most reasonable tailors are ready to sew your outfits back into shape without charging runway prices.
Here are some neighborhood gems that get the job done without breaking the bank:
E&L Fashion – Windsor Terrace
276 Prospect Park West
E&L Fashion is the definition of “if you know, you know.” It's no nonsense, fast and affordable, they’re perfect to bring your blouse, pants or wedding dress for a fix or in an emergency.
Alts – Williamsburg
101 N. 10th St., Suite 203
This isn’t just a tailor, it’s a tailoring experience. Alts is Williamsburg’s go-to for folks who wear labels who get a team to work on you in a stylish studio setting. They will also do at-home fittings!
A M Dry Cleaner – Bed-Stuy
334 Malcolm X Blvd.
Don’t let the name fool you: yes, they clean, but they also tailor and they’re amazing. A M Dry Cleaner is beloved for its honesty, fast fixes, and prices that make you double check if you misheard. The tailor here will tell you straight up if your jacket's worth saving—and then save it anyway
Lords of Tailoring – Crown Heights
798 Nostrand Ave.
Yes, the service lives up to the name at Lords of Tailoring. Whether you’re prepping for a wedding or looking to fix a vintage jacket, this place delivers. Bonus points for being both fast and budget-friendly.
Mike’s Dry Cleaners & Tailors – Prospect Heights
281 Flatbush Ave.
Mike’s is the kind of place you almost forget exists until you’re panicking before that special event. Equal parts dry cleaner and tailoring wizard, this shop has been quietly serving Prospect Heights for years.
Final Stitch:
Whether you're a fashionista in Williamsburg or just trying to resurrect your favorite jeans in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn’s got your back pocket covered—literally. These tailors aren’t flashy. They’re not viral. But they are excellent.
