Cohasset Tailor Shop

Sep 2022

I am 4'9" so always need sleeves and pants shortened. Anna always does a great job. normally there is a two week wa as her services are so in demand, especially prior or proms, weddings and other special events. However, ,it is worth the wait.

She is very talented- the best I've found after living here 19 years- but she seems to be short-handed and so the clothes aren't always ready when she indicates (typically two weeks). However I can't find anyone better at what they do so unless it's a simple fix/hem that I could give to someone else, I just give them to Anna and know it's going to take a while. I've asked her to do some very complicated alterations over the years and she's always done a beautiful job.

While I've never been displeased with the results from this tailor, I only went back because it was the closest one to me. The turn around time is quite slow (3 weeks for a suit, 2 weeks for pants or a zipper replacement). You have to pay up front and in cash or check, and the prices are a bit high ($18 for a zipper replacement). The ladies are always decently pleasant but their English isn't amazing and a few times I was concerned they didn't understand what I was asking. They're always upfront about what they can't do or what won't work well, which I appreciate. I had my prom dress altered there, and the woman suggested a certain placement and insisted on a certain amount of fabric for it because otherwise it wouldn't work. The dress, though, was supposed to be ready a week before my prom and when I went in to pick it up they said it wouldn't be ready for another few days. I went in the day before my prom and they told me to come back tomorrow. I insisted it be done tomorrow because obviously that's when the prom was, and though it was finished then I was extremely concerned I wouldn't have a dress to wear leading up to the prom. My pants hemmed there have been fine, the replaced zipper was fine, and the dress turned out well. I also recently had a suit tailored there- it was a family friend's who is a few sizes larger than myself, and though the suit definitely fits better than it did before, I'm not thrilled with the results. It's still a bit big and doesn't hug me correctly- I'll probably be taking it to another tailor to get it altered again, which I shouldn't have to do. All in all if you have something not too complicated that you don't need right away and this location is convenient, go right ahead, but otherwise look for a different place.
