I need a good tailor

[phortlane.livejournal.com]

Can someone recommend a local tailor? I took my favorite skirt to Dudley Dry Cleaners on Mass. Ave. for hemming. Now I need a good tailor to repair the damage.

Davis Square, Porter Square, or Harvard Square (or anywhere on the Red Line) are all convenient. Thanks!

Chris Fine Tailoring (http://anaffordablewardrobe.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-tailor.html) near Teele Square, perhaps?

Second -- for things like hems, I really like this place. They're also my dry cleaners. For more complicated stuff, I go to Jack the Tailor just north of Porter on Mass Ave.

I love Porter Square Dry Cleaners.

Seconded. I just dropped off my wedding dress for hemming there this morning!

Thirded. They've hemed or repaired 5-6 pairs of jeans or pants for me and I've been satisfied with their work.

Jack's right near the porter post office--though he's a bit overpriced.

I would second Jacks. He does good work.

Jack's, thirded or fourthed.

yeah i should have mentioned: he's pricier for a reason

I like Jack's. Another part of the price is spending ten minutes catching up with him, but he's so pleasant it's no burden at all.

Again - Jack's tailoring & dry cleaning by Porter - he's awesome.

Elegant tailors between Porter and Harvard on Mass Ave. She can fix ANYthing. She altered my wedding dress!

Rizzo in Harvard Square is very good (he's a bespoke tailor) too, though more expensive than a dry cleaners' tailor.

I recently had great tailoring service from Skyline Drycleaners in Ball Square.

I used the above-mentioned Elegant Tailors in October and they were excellent. Just another rec.
