Simply Amazing

Took an overcoat into be tailored. It was big on me, but I had no idea how big. They re-cut the coat and sized it perfectly to fit like a glove. Unlike other tailors I have used, you can't even tell it's been altered. Even had me go in for a fitting mid-way through the process (haven't done so since getting a custom suit made from scratch in Hong Kong- very professional). Definitely the best tailor around. As a Wash U student for the past 4 years, I've used plenty of tailors around the area, and none of them compare.

• Pros: Best tailoring experience- from NY originally
• Cons: None

Fast, Affordable, Beautiful Job on a Wedding Dress

by missflamingo at Citysearch

I could not be more pleased with the quality of service and workmanship at Brentwood Alteration and Tailor. After buying my wedding dress out of state, I was worried about blindly choosing a tailor in the St. Louis area. The reviews on this site were enough to convince we to give this place a try, and I am SO GLAD I did.

From the moment I walked into the store, it was obvious that Ms. Do is very knowledgeable and talented. Though admitted to me that she had never seen a train quite like the one on my dress, she was still able to quickly fashion a bustle that is beautiful and seamless. Because of the detailed beading on the bodice of my dress, I was worried it would be difficult to take the dress in a bit at the bust, and I knew the intricacy would likely drive up the cost. Making the adjustment was no problem for Ms. Do, and the price was much lower than I had anticipated (especially because I had already been quoted a price from the shop where I bought my dress based on what their alterations expert normally charges). Ms. Do charged much less than what I was expecting.

I brought my dress to Ms. Do two months before my wedding because many of my bridesmaids had been told it would take at least one month to finish their alterations. I assumed a bridal gown would take even more time. I was absolutely shocked when I was able to pick up my dress at Brentwood Alteration and Tailor after two weeks.

After my positive experience here, I will never go to another tailor in the St. Louis area. I highly recommend Brentwood Alteration and Tailor.

• Pros: Affordable, Fast, Personable, Extremely Helpful

Best alteration shop in town

In my opinion, this is the best alteration shop in St. Louis. I took my wedding dress there to be altered and was able to pick it up the very next week. The price was very reasonable and the work was beautiful and professional.

• Pros: Super nice staff and extremely professional work
