How long does The Tailory take?
The Tailory is fast. The first fitting is usually the day after you are measured, many orders are ready in 24 to 48 hours, and some are done the same day. Larger orders of eight to ten pieces take 2.5 to 3 days.

Before you order at The Tailory
- You can keep ordering after you leave: one reviewer says the shop keeps your measurements for repeat orders, and another that it ships abroad and takes orders sent from home.
- Worth asking about pieces other shops turn down: one customer was told by a couple of shops that a corduroy jacket was too difficult and had it made here in a day.
- If the feel of the fabric matters to you, choose it yourself: one customer followed the seamstress's suggestion, felt steered towards cheaper fabrics, and found the finished outfits scratchy.
- It can get hot inside, as in most shops in town. One reviewer suggests going in the morning; reviewers mention cold water or a cold drink on every visit and the fans being switched on.
- If you need shoes to match, ask: they sent one family next door to have custom shoes made for a prom suit.
