Step One
Select Your Appointment Type
Three ways to work with us. Pick the one that matches where you are.
Virtual Design Appointment
The same design session by video, wherever you are. We guide you through fabrics and silhouette on screen and use Stanford-built fit technology to measure remotely.
Tailoring & Alterations
For altering pieces you already own. Call us to talk through what you need, or send photos of the garments ahead of your session.
Not sure which design appointment to pick? Both cover the same ground — choose in person if you can get to Canal Street, virtual if you cannot.
Getting Started
The Bespoke Process
Six steps from your first appointment to a finished garment — the same whether you sit with us on Canal Street or meet the team by video.
01
Book your Appointment
Book an in-person or virtual appointment with our Founder and Design Team.
02
CHOOSE YOUR FABRIC, LINING & TRIM
Browse our extensive selection of premium and sustainable fabrics, linings, buttons, and more.
03
DESIGN TIME
We value our one-on-one time with our clients as we explore the design process, which includes fabric selections, vision, silhouettes, and body type.
04
PROPER MEASURE
Every piece we create is custom-tailored to perfection. Our meticulous process involves taking over 35 body measurements, analyzing your posture, and, if needed, measuring existing garments for the most precise fit. For virtual clients, we have partnered with one of the world's leading fit technology platforms created at Stanford University to ensure impeccable fit and design throughout the virtual process.
05
THE TIMELINE
Your bespoke garment typically takes 10-12 weeks to create. Opting for a Muslin fitting adds 4-6 weeks to this timeline. Alterations generally require 2 weeks. Final fittings are held at our exclusive Soho atelier. For those with tighter schedules, rush services are available. Virtual clients receive priority shipping for remote fittings, with a convenient return label for alterations.
06
Final Fit
We believe in a meticulous approach to bespoke tailoring, often requiring multiple fittings. That said, our experienced team frequently delivers a flawless fit in just one fitting, making the process efficient and personalized.

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
I came to the Tailory to find something that would inspire me in terms of an outfit for my wedding. Dylan and his team were able to work with me to develop a custom jumpsuit that I felt beautiful in. They walked me through every step of the design process and I walked away every time feeling confident in my choice to work with them. I recommend that you start working with them as early as you can so they can have ample time to make a quality piece that you will cherish.
★★★★★
I had an excellent experience with The Tailory. I designed a custom tuxedo and shirt for my wedding with them. The team was helpful, professional, and communicative from start to finish. I don't live in New York so I did two virtual fittings. After the first one I sent the pants back for some modifications. The finished tux (and silk shirt) all fit perfectly. It was amazing to see my vision come to life after trying and failing to find what I wanted elsewhere. I would definitely recommend this place!
★★★★★
Shao was incredibly helpful working with me on the silhouette, the fabric, and button selection; I love that all the elements could all be worn separately in the future; and we felt so comfortable and glamorous on the day of, from the ceremony to the dance party rager in the evening.
★★★★★
We worked with them to create this suit for our wedding, and the process was so smooth and easy; the staff was friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful in narrowing down all of the options to choose from; my wife and I are so grateful to have chosen to work with them, we absolutely love the finished products, and the both of us received endless compliments for our outfits on our wedding day.
★★★★★
I felt like getting a custom suit for my big day wasn't going to happen and as a woman, this was stressful because suits are often too large or ill-fitting because they are made for men; I've never had a suit fit perfectly for me & the Tailory 10/10 exceeded my expectations; they have gained a customer for life & I would encourage anybody to give their virtual fittings a try - in the busy world we live in, it's almost easier than going in person.
★★★★★
I was searching for a designer who could deliver beyond the typical wedding suit, and I found exactly that with Shao and her team; the suit itself was a work of art, incorporating a unique fabric pattern that paid homage to my Mexican American heritage; I'll never forget how special I felt wearing that suit and look forward to working with The Tailory again in the future.
★★★★★
They were so thoughtful in supporting the design, fabric selection, fitting, and everything else. They always provided their professional opinion and recommendation without pressuring or being overbearing. The entire team was LOVELY, I have absolutely nothing but the best things to say and peaches is so cute!!!! This suit made me feel badass, amazing, chic - everything I wanted and more. I am so grateful for your beautiful hard work. Thank you - you helped create a memory I will never forget.
★★★★★
The Tailory helped me design the long JACKET & CAPE of my dreams for my wedding! I never liked wearing dresses, and when I fell upon this company, looking for a femme/masculine/edgy style, I knew I had to pursue them to help me create the look I desired, from the custom jumpsuit and long jacket WITH SPIKES and bling! My wife was obsessed with it upon our first look and my outfit was the TALK of the night and MOST anticipated from our guests! Everyone LOVED my look and it truly reflected me and my style! Highly recommended!!!
★★★★★
Can’t recommend this place enough. The team at The Tailory worked with us to design two outfits for our wedding, including a traditional áo dài. The whole process was thorough and well-organized, and the folks were incredibly communicative and very clearly passionate about their work. It was important to us to work with a company experienced with working with the LGBTQ+ community, as well as a detailed knowledge of non-Western fashion. We are absolutely in love with the end result and I will be definitely go back to them for additional work." - JORDAN RUTTER-COVATTO AND VINCENT COVATTO
★★★★★
Working with the Tailory was such a great experience! Their hospitality was very welcoming and made my wife and I feel very at home. They made a stunning Suit and Dress from scratch for us both. Working with the Tailory was definitely the least stressful part of our wedding. I highly recommend working with them!
★★★★★
STOP LOOKING AROUND AND HAVE THESE LADIES MAKE YOUR CUSTOM SUIT. Cannot recommend highly enough. I struggled to find a custom tailor in New York that didn't feel either canned and stodgy or corporate and impersonal. The team at The Tailory crushed it from beginning to end. I had only a vague notion of what I was looking for in a tuxedo for my wedding, and the team at The Tailory took the wheel with grace and expertise. Truly looked forward to every interaction and fitting. They took some unholy number of measurements, and delivered a suit that fit me perfectly and had me feeling like James Bond on my wedding day.
★★★★★
The Tailory was the most delightful experience about my entire wedding planning; I was in search of the perfect jumpsuit and they delivered the wedding jumpsuit of my dreams; I tried buying high end designer jumpsuits from department stores, for double the price of my custom jumpsuit, but nothing fit me; this custom jumpsuit they created for me fit like a glove and I was able to dance like a crazy person at my wedding with no issues!
