Tired of shirts that don't fit you properly? Perhaps shirts off the rack fit you, but you don't like seeing several other people wearing the same exact shirt you're wearing when you go to the office or out to dinner? If you can relate to either of these scenarios, then you shoud consider a fine tailored custom dress shirt made by Boris.

Boris and Marika are extremely skilled tailors; among the best in Columbus. A quality tailor is a wise investment for any wardobe, and I'm always pleased with their work. They're also pleasant people who I always enjoy chatting with during my visits.

Can do pretty much whatever you want. Custom suits. Great alterations. Quick turn around. I brought trousers in on Friday and they were done on Monday. The shirts they make are great looking but I haven't purchased one yet. Also they're hilarious. Boris sat down and joked with us about marriage while his wife measured me up. Just a fun experience

I had my sundress and swimsuit bottoms altered by Boris Alterations, and they did an excellent job. I came in at the last minute to get some alterations done, and the owner was able to complete it in the same day for a small extra fee. The total price was very reasonable, and I appreciate their service!

They were nice but only sewed two seams on my husband's pants and the seams came undone in only months with limited wear so we now have to pay to take them to someone else. We were later informed that the pant cuffs should have been hemmed all around rather than only in part, which is why they did not last. This was very disappointing.

Unfortunately I came away disappointed from my only experience with this business. I brought in two curtain panels to have shortened to a specific length. Nothing fancy or special, just one simple even-length hem. Common sense would suggest that upon completion you remeasure them to ensure you did the job right. You might even compare them to one another to be sure they are the same length.
Needless to say that after waiting two weeks my curtains aren't even the same length. There is a good 1.25" difference in length where they come together side by side.
I really expected better

Great experience!
I had a rather expensive North Face jacket with a broken zipper. Boris was on my errand route, so I decided to see if they could fix it.
Well, as soon as I walked in, I thought I had the wrong place, because these guys are clearly top flight tailors. This is where you come if you want custom suits and shirts made. Very, very nice clothing.
But the woman who helped me was wonderful. She took a look at my jacket and gave me a clear run down of the costs to fix it depending on what was wrong. The jacket was fixed quickly, and the cost was very fair.
Absolutely will use Boris

I wholeheartedly endorse this place.
I needed the sleeves altered on one of my sport coats and Marika was very helpful and went to great lengths to make sure things measured correctly. When I got the coat back it fit perfectly. Prices are more than fair.
The only drawback was it took a month, but that was due to the place being swamped.

I can't recommend Boris and his wife enough.
While the work on my suit was unquestionably stellar, this actually isn't the sole reason why I would recommend Boris over anyone else in Columbus. After dropping off my suit in the Fall, I unexpectedly had to leave the state for the Winter and Spring. In my experience, tailors aren't particularly interested in holding completed projects much longer than a month. I was worried because I knew I would be away for about 6 months.
After calling Boris, he and his wife were more than understanding and held my suit for me until I could return

My new tailor in Columbus
I am SO picky about my alterations, and they did an amazing job!
I would highly recommend Boris and his wife :)
...super friendly service!
Boris also does custom made dress shirts! I don't even know where else you would find that kind of quality in Columbus!?
Two thumbs up!

I've lost over 25 pounds since January & as a result, none of my clothes fit! I didn't want to spend the money for new suits for work, so I thought I'd just get them tailored. My jackets fit alright, so I went to Boris' armed with three pairs of pants and a skirt. The woman was very nice and worked quickly to mark what needed to be taken in.
I was a little surprised at the total ($140), but figured that was cheaper than buying three new suits. I went a few weeks later & picked up my suits. I was excited to have clothes that fit again, so imagine my dismay when

I got some jeans hemmed at Boris' this summer. They did a great job on them, so I took a skirt to them today, which needed the hem line restitched. Despite an obviously large workload in the back, she took the skirt and told she could do it in a couple of minutes. She even ironed it for me. When she brought it back to me, she told me it would be only a few dollars. I tried to hand her a twenty, but instead of making change, she just told me it was on the house! I can't ask for better costumer service than that. I'll definitely be taking more work to them. Thanks Boris!

In preparation for my cousin's wedding, I realized I needed the straps of my dress shortened. When searching for a tailor, I consulted Yelp. I was directed to Boris' and decided to check it out. With my dress in hand, I walked into the store and was immediately ushered into the dressing room.
The woman, I believe it was the owner, whipped out her pins and began adjusting my straps. We tried several different lengths before making my decision. She marked it up with chalk and I was out of the store within fifteen minutes after paying.
I didn't actually try my dress on until

Well, here's the story, my cousin got married last Saturday. I had to wear a suit since it was a formal event. I got out my suit, but it didn't fit anymore since I lost some weight (yay me.) So I come in on Thursday morning and tell them my predicament. Took some measurements, and told me to come back Friday after 5. I did as I was told, and my suit was ready to go.
The reason why I give 4 instead of 5 stars is because it cost me $136 with tax. I don't know if that's a rip-off or a great deal, because I seldom have had anything tailored, but it seems steep to me. Way

Boris Custom Tailoring made me feel like a million bucks!
I had to buy a suit recently, and I only had a couple of days to get it altered. Normally my go-to tailor is The Golden Needle, but they were on one of their month-long breaks! I found Boris (because of Yelp!), and I could not be happier with the service! I explained to the owner about my rush, and she assured me I would get my suit in time. She measured me for a perfect fit, and she was so focused on all the little details. Those details paid off when I tried on my suit, and it looked like it was made for me!
