Eva's Tailor Shoppe — Local services in Town of New Paltz

I have some favourite sweaters that succumbed to the moths over the summer in storage, and I was unwilling to accept that they were done for, even when my dry cleaner said they were beyond saving. And to be fair, when Eva saw all the holes, and the two-toned wool, she said "ooh, this will be hard and take some time." But I was fine with waiting a few weeks, because I love these sweaters so much. Today I picked them up and was thrilled with the work. Unless you know where to look and get up within a few centimeters, you wouldn't know there used to be about 11 holes in this sweater!

I had the great joy of working with Eva on my vintage wedding dress. At 74 years old, the lace and satin wedding dress was worn by my grandmother in 1950 and my mother in 1991. I was so nervous that the dress couldn’t be modified for my frame and that the material would be too delicate to modify in 2024, but ever since my first fitting, it was clear that Eva was a master at her craft who was up to the task. I knew I was in good hands.

Our monthly fittings turned into visits I look back on with fondness, and they always served as an exciting, reassuring moment in the craziness of wedding planning. Eva is a true master tailor and I recommend her with so much enthusiasm.

Thank you Eva for your expertise, kindness, and fun stories — my wedding was the best day of my life and wearing the same dress worn by my grandmother and mother made it so...

Eva is the best. I absolutely love her work and cheerful elegance. She's a polished pro with a high education in dressmaking. She knows about fabric, style, and can make alterations that fit you like an exquisite glove. Thoroughly experienced and reasonably priced, Eva possesses a great work ethic, too. Because she is so high in demand, be nice and don't bring anything in last minute. This is no dry cleaner tailor. Eva is a classy lady, an artist. I have great respect for her and the quality of her work. A formal gown Eva altered for me (pictured here) was way to big in certain places and the fabric is chiffon, so you can imagine the delicacy of the job. But I'm sure Eva will take on simple work, too. But for goodness...
