T E R R I B L E -- A V O I D AT A L L C O S T S

by michaellong at Citysearch

Completely ruined simple alterations. These guys were reviewed favorably few years ago and that's gotten to their head. Not only is the quality of the work poor, these guys are just down right DISHONEST.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Dishonest; Poor quality work

STAY AWAY FROM THIS TAILOR!!!

by sarita528 at Citysearch

i am VERY dissappointed with this tailor. i brought in a brand new prada swimsuit to be SLIGHTLY altered in the bust area. i was a little unsure, since i have never had to tailor a swimsuit, but the he assured me they could do this.

a week later i came to pick up my suit, but it was not ready and he said they needed another hour. i was a little irritated since it was supposed to be finished two days prior to my arrival, but i told him i would be back later that day.

when i came back i was SHOCKED to see such a horrible job! it looked like they did the alteration in ten minutes and couldn't even be bothered to close the seams they opened. not only did they open up the seam WAY more than was necessary for the slight alteration, it looked like they did it with their eyes closed!

i told them i would not pay for this, it was unacceptable. the same tailor that agreed to the job, said he didn't have the machine needed to make the correct stitch. unbelievable! i asked him why he didn't tell me this in the first place? he knew he did a horrible job and told me not to pay him. now i have to find another tailor to fix what he messed up and i'll probably have to pay more to correct this unprofessional job.

i DO NOT recommend this tailor at all!!!

• Pros: none
• Cons: ruined my clothing

Really Terrible

by dar1t at Citysearch

I have almost all of my clothes tailored, so I feel like a reasonable judge of quality. That of Campos & Campos is good, I admit. I don't agree that they are great or magic, as some reviews suggest - but they are good at what they do. They are, unfortunately, really terrible at everything else. They are completely unreliable, dishonest, unfriendly and overpriced. I took in several pieces which ranged from simple (pants hemming) to complex (a restructured sport coat) and was told it would take a month. That was a bad sign. I'd been told they were expensive, but was still surprised at the $800 price tag. After a month I called them and was told to come in two weeks later. I arrived and was told my garments were in a warehouse and asked to come back a week later. This process went on for another month and a half until the 4th time I went back I finally got my clothes - minus one sweater that was to be repaired. They claimed to have never seen it. So after about 3 months, a lost sweater and $800 I got reasonably sewn tailoring. You do the math.

• Pros: reasonable sewing
• Cons: everything else
