Alterations in NYC
Any garment. Any alteration. Done right.
At Teodoor Tailor, we handle all types of clothing alterations — from straightforward adjustments to highly complex garment reconstruction. Men’s, women’s, bridal, formalwear, specialty fabrics, repairs, and time-sensitive work are all handled with precision and care.
If an alteration is technically possible and will maintain the integrity of the garment, we can do it.
For over a decade, clients across Brooklyn and Manhattan have trusted Teodoor Tailor as their go-to destination for professional alterations done correctly the first time.
