I have a very nice, very expensive blouse that's in need of some alterations, and I'm looking for a good tailor. What tailors in Davis do you recommend? (Quality is the priority here, though someone with decent prices would also be helpful.)

Ah, while this topic is up again, I'd also like to ask for recommendations other than Eleni. It's not that I don't like her work, and the price was certainly reasonable, but I had a really hard time communicating with her. At one point, she told me she couldn't do one of the things I asked for. Or at least I think she did. I really have no idea. It's probably because I asked for something impossible, but I wish I could have figured that out. And that has made me hesitant to go back. I'm very bad with language barriers. That's a failing on my part, certainly, but for now I really just want to get some clothing altered.

Elegant Tailor, which isn't in Davis but between Porter and Harvard on Mass Ave. They're awesome and I wouldn't think twice about taking something to them to be altered.

As I'm paging through the tagged entries looking for a tailor, I must thank you for this. :)

For things that I really care about, I go to Plymouth Tailors at Park Street. A bit of a hike, but I really like his work on fine pieces.

Park Street in Somerville? or Boston?

In Boston. Specifically, I was referring to his proximity to the T stop. He's actually on Temple Place or something.

Ahh, OK. For a minute I was scratching my head, trying to picture where a tailor shop could be on our Park Street.
