I went to this shop in a panic for my wedding dress during this crazy pandemic. Avo was and has been fantastic at tailoring everything I've brought to him, from my wedding dress to my everyday clothes. I don't hesitate i know he's very reliable and highly recommend.

Mr. Avo is masterful! He makes everything I own look spectacular, designed and cut specifically for my body and height. I have been coming to his shop since the '80s. If he ever retires, I will DIE! God bless Mr. Avo and his team of master tailors. With love and appreciation, Marquita Thomas💖

Avo helped me tailor my wedding dress on a super short schedule before I left for the east coast. He paid attention to the details and helped with some pretty complicated alterations. All with a very helpful attitude.

Avo is the best tailor in town. He listens and always delivers. I only have him alter my clothes as nothing really fits me perfectly as I am 5'1".

I've been going to classical & modern tailoring for over 10 years and they are the best! I take all my clothes - dresses, jeans, tops, bathing suits, etc and they always do an incredible job. Everyone one there is so personable and friendly and the prices are great for how amazing of a job they do. I 10/10 recommend!

Have had suits tailored for 20 years, this place came highly recommended by someone who doesn't know how much about suits (my fault for listening to them). When I got my suits back they were still loose and didn't look good. Didn't want to ask to fix it, just wanted to take it to someone else who could do it right. Worst of all, it was 3 suits and they charged over $600!! What a ripoff.

The way he touches me makes me very uncomfortable, he touches women in inappropriate ways then completely overcharges you. Way too expensive, he needs to be more professional and less creepy!!!

I called a couple hours before they closed and asked if they could alter the hem on a couple pairs of jeans for me same day. Great customer service and an amazing turn around.

I brought a very expensive designer gown that needed complicated alterations based on the positive reviews. He did a good job on the hemming and taking in the sides but absolutely destroyed the neckline- the most important part. It is delicate mesh and netting and he left it uneven with bad stitching and terribly finished. When I picked it up I noted how bad it looked and his excuse was that "it was difficult" - yeah exactly, that's why I brought it to an alleged expert. I took it to a dry cleaner and the on-site alterations specialist was horrified. She said he should have never

What a find!!!

We had a rush job and not only fixed a ripped slack pocket that was beyond the seam- so seamlessly- but also repaired the fallen hem which we forgot to mention at no extra charge

I highly recommend this tailor

Avo is AMAZING! I went to him with TWO wedding dresses. My dress for the American ceremony and a very detailed dress for my Indian ceremony.
Each fitting was easy and Avo is so friendly. And the results were stunning.
Highly recommend!!

I have to start by saying Avo is AMAZING!! He has a great character and will treat you with kindness and care like you're part of his family. He was so enjoyable to work with. He's also incredibly knowledgeable and talented!! My silk, layered dress with a train was a challenge for him, but he altered it perfectly and worked hard to make sure it would be ready by the time I left. He listened to my ideas but was also plain and practical in his professional suggestions. I am so glad I trusted him with my delicate dress!

When I just had one month left until my wedding, I needed to find a place fast who would do my bridal gown alterations. I needed my hem shortened, adjustments on the bodice, and the addition of a belt.

Avo was great to work with and was always so nice. He listens to your needs. He provides suggestions, but in the end, he respects your decision of how you want your dress to look and feel. I was open to his ideas and was satisfied with final result. When I was stressed with my limited time frame, he reassured me he will have it ready on time.

Since my alterations were not too crazy, I only needed
