“My Go-To tailor”

J M.
6/4/23

I have purchased 3 skirt suits, two extra blazers and two dresses over several years. Top quality workmanship. Pure wool, pure cotton, pure linen or synthetic blends - your choice. Lining is good quality as well. Clear fabric information to choose from. Easy website to design the clothing (I choose the "advanced version" designer - instead of the simplified one). It is often difficult to find well made, stylish clothing for plus size women. I have never been disappointed.

“Descriptions don't match, customer service useless”

Sophia L.
1/5/24

I ordered a pair of trousers in a fabric that was listed as stretch. The pants that arrived were 100% polyester, which has no stretch at all. They told me I could take it to a tailor and bill them the cost, however no tailor can fix stretch vs no stretch. There was a protracted stand off over email, I received no compensation despite them admitting that they had corrected the listing for the fabric. Complete waste of $100.

Schief und unsauber genäht, schlechter als Fast-Fashion-Kleidung/ komplett abweichend von den Maßen, die angegeben wurden/ unbrauchbar, da unpassend/ Kleidung stinkt auch nach dem Waschen nach Chemie/ Stoff minderwertig und dünn/ Kundenservice unseriös

Ich hatte für rund 300€ Kleidung bestellt, Maße wurden per Email noch bestätigt. Trotzdem wich die gefertigte Kleidung über 7cm von den bestätigten Maßen ab.

Der Kundendienst, der teils nur gebrochenes Deutsch spricht und unseriöse Emails ohne Kopf- und Fußzeile verschickt, teilte mir auf meine Reklamation mit, dass ich die Kleidung zum Schneider zum "Reparieren" bringen soll. Bei sumissura.com denkt man offenbar, dass Schneider Stoff 7cm länger zaubern können. Außerdem sollte ich 3 Stunden zum Partnerschneider fahren, andernfalls würden sie pro Teil nur etwa 15€ dazu zahlen (pro Teil wären aber min. 60€ angefallen).
Ich schaltete PayPal ein, worauf sich ein anderer Kundendienstmitarbeiter meldete und man mir anbot einen Teil der Kleidung neu zu fertigen. Tatsächlich wurde aber kein einziges der Kleidungsstücke korrekt genäht. Auch die Versandkosten der Rücksendung darf man dann selber tragen, obwohl sumissura.com einen Fehler bei der Anfertigung gemacht hat. So wälzt man Fehler und Kosten auf den Kunden ab.

Und was an Betrug denken lässt: ich wollte meinen Einkauf bei sumissura.com mit einer sicheren virtuellen Einweg-Kreditkarte zahlen - da meldet mir meine Bank Folgendes zurück: "die Einweg-Kreditkarte ist für Daueraufträge bei diesem Händler (sumissura) nicht zugelassen" - welcher Dauerauftrag? Nirgendwo hatte ich sumissura einen Dauerauftrag erteilt - möchte man mir später etwa ungefragt noch einmal Geld abbuchen?

Fazit: 1 Tag Arbeit mit sorgfältigem Ausmessen umsonst, rund 300€ für die Tonne, gleiches ist mit der minderwertigen und stinkenden Kleidung passiert.

Übrigens: sumissura lässt die Kleidung in China fertigen. Der Slogan "made in Europe" gilt nur für ihre Schuhe. Und wer denkt, dass er mit PayPal auf der sicheren Seite ist: der PayPal Käuferschutz gilt nicht für Sonderanfertigungen.

I ordered a custom-made duffel coat. It's the worst quality coat I have ever purchased, so much so that I am writing this review. Not only was it extremely poor quality, but the elbow patches were literally 2 inches from my shoulders, not even close to reaching my elbows even though I gave them all of the measurements necessary. There were loose threads all over, and it was generally very poorly constructed. To be honest, I don't even think it was symmetrical. The "belt" in the back was only attached by one strand of string from the buttons. I sent pictures to them and they recommended I take it to a tailor to have it repaired that isn't even located near where I live. When I told them the "repairs" necessary would only damage the coat further, they refused to issue a refund. They were only willing to make me another poor quality coat. So that's $450 down the drain.

Tip for consumers:
Terrible quality and they were unwilling to issue a refund.

Absolutely horribly done. The lining in the skirt is crooked, The seamstress I hired to fix could not believe it. It was pulling from everywhere. Don't understand how they can send a product so bad.

I gave the company a chance despite the negative reviews, thinking that the worst case scenario would be returning them and having them remade. Then I realized that I had to pay half the price of my order in import duties alone. Customers are also responsible for the return shipping fees. I am doubtful that the clothes are even custom made, the articles I received fit me exactly the same way that the same articles would fit me at any store. Expensive and very disappointing.

I ordered pants from this company that came in MASSIVE. I'm not positive whether the measurements were inaccurate or whether the company was incompetent, but I'm starting to suspect the latter. The pants were so large that the tailor I took them to had trouble bringing them in enough to fit. I ended up having to send them back and request they remake them with new measurements done with the tailor. Sumissura sent back new pants made from the first set of measurements that were - again - massive, and told me they wouldn't remake them and that I needed to get them tailored. Now they're unresponsive to my requests. Do not trust this company!

The ordering process and delivery was oaky, no issues. I ordered a woman's cobalt blue pant suit and 2 custom shirts. Total with black friday sale discount was $470. The custom shirts are okay, but the pant suit is such a poor fit, it is laughable. Customer service said to take it to a tailor -- the 1st tailor i went to would NOT even quote me a price -- he said that it was so poorly constructed that it had no layers or support to even tailor the jacket properly. The next tailor quoted me $240 just for the jacket and confessed that even still it would not fix the gathering issues in the front of the jacket -- because again no layers of fabric constructing the jacket to give it that fitted look. It's cheap thin material with a thin cheap lining and that's it! And the pants came with NO lining and are HUGE! Still kind of shocked at how bad it is. Off the rack is way better than what you get from this company. Save your money! Their customer service is giving me the run around and they are slow to answer but quick to tell me that there is a 30 day clock running on me to get the tailor invoice in to them or i just "lost out". Nevermind that they are only going to reimburse me 25% of the cost of the suit originally for any alterations that I want. 25% does NOT cover half of what I am being quoted to get this fixed! I feel like such sucker. Never again, and I hope this saves someone else the trouble, hassle and the money. K

I gave my exact measurements but it still came back as a standard size.
I am small and a little frumpy around the middle, I gave figures so as to make sure it would fit. But it came back as if my measurements were not applied. It cost me $500 and I can't wear it...
As I said it is a beautiful coat but made too small. What a waist.!

There is no customer service phone number. That should tell you everything you need to know. I ordered fabric samples from them more than 60 days ago and have not received them. I tried the live chat but it's a BOT with no ability to assist. The email communication is slow and despite a reply to my concern, no fabric samples have been delivered yet. If they cannot deliver fabric samples in a reasonable amount of time what happens when you make a fully customized order? I'm not willing to give them $500 to find out.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use this site. Find a local tailor to create your garment.

I purchased a dress from this company. The first time I received the dress it was so tight in the hips and so big in the stomach-like for a near full-term pregnancy. I returned the dress, confirm the measurements with Customer Service and received a "fixed" dress. Unfortunately, the dress wasn't fixed and it was as ill fitting as the first and second attempt. I reached out to Customer Service and they told me to take it to a tailor to have it altered. The tailor told me it wasn't worth fixing. I reported this back to Sumissura who told me to take it to another alteration shop. I asked again for a refund and they told me the best I could do was give me 20% off.

They fit, but the stitching quality is absolute crap and is disintegrating after two wearings. The belt loop died on the first wearing with a tiny belt, and both legs' hems let go on the second wearing! The company do stick to their 30-days-and-you're-out-of-luck policy and offered credit on my next purchase (as if!) when I go get them fixed myself. The design was not that cute, nothing like cigarette pants, which is why I only wore them once in the 30 days.

I sent precise measurements and the suit fit terribly. The quality and stitching is also very poor. I asked for a refund and was told they only give up to 25% of the value WITH a receipt from a tailor. I had to leave town for an emergency because my mom was diagnosed with cancer and had surgery and I needed to care for her. I asked them to help simplify the process and just issue the 25% refund without the hoops so I could wrap this issue up and focus on my mom and they refused. They offered me 20% of the value as CREDIT instead. Terrible business. Do not give them your money.

Does not ship within 2 weeks like advertised. Took over a month to get my product just for it not to fit. I paid way to much money to get a suit after the event I needed it for and than for it not to fit. Customer support is a joke. Pretty much has done nothing for me, takes days for them to respond, and with no solution. I tried to cancel my order because it didn't arrive in time and I was told no. All around bad experience and waste of money stay away! I should have read the reviews first. Quality is also cheep.

This is a fraudulent company located somewhere in China! They offer terrible products with even worse customer satisfaction. They boast a guarantee that their garments will fit or they correct. None of this will happen as they have no telephone contact or contact person. They only have a generic email address to send issues to which no one will respond to. If a response is gotten, it will be very generic. Run very far from this company! Their clothing is poorly made and wrong tailoring. Absolute shame the way they scam consumers in US and other countries!

Tip for consumers:
Do not use this company!!! Get a real tailor….these are frauds that do not respond! If I could give 0 stars, I would. They are not worth 1 star!

I ordered a suit and a blazer. The pants were 5 times too big. Did not match the measurements I put in. I really liked the blazer so I decided I would order 2 more suits and a blazer. I ordered and it did not show up in my order history. I saw my credit card charged twice. The website has ZERO options to contact them except an email that they never answer. Now I have to do a charge back and cancel my card.

The most dysfunctional company I have ever dealt with. The ordering process was super easy, but your clothes will not come sized right, and they do not abide by their satisfaction guaranteed program. Once you receive the item, you will not be able to pull it back up on the website to submit a claim. Say your money and your time! Quality is terrible, and the pants were paper thin and threads hanging all over

My daughter is 5'1" and very petite so has always struggled to find clothes that fit. She purchased a beautiful wool suit and shirt and the fit was amazing! Her confidence went through the roof! We will all be buying from Sumissura from now on! I love the choice of fabrics. Very fast delivery service considering they have to tailor make and ship (during the height of the covid outbreak no less). Brilliant, just brilliant!

Make sure you measure accurately as this is the most important thing for a successful product. Get a friend to help.

I ordered 2 dresses and 2 jackets. They came back more than 2 months later and they were nothing like it was made for me. I contacted them for a solution and they told me first to go to a tailor for a quote to get it fixed. I did but then they said it was too expensive. They asked for pictures - pictures of all sides THAT I HAVE SENT TWICE. Now I received an email saying they have closed my ticket as I didnt respond! I responded multiple times (with receipts) for the same requests. They are scam artists! DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY!

I ordered a custom suit and I knew something was wrong as soon as I felt the package it arrived in. It was so light, it weighed about the same as a tea towel. When I opened it, it was clear why. The quality of the garments are so poor so it's worth about $12, and not the $315 I paid for it. The suit didn't fit, it was about two sizes too big and the fabric wasn't even substantial enough to use as lining. They refused to refund or remake using a different fabric without extra charge for the fabric and a remake cost. It was a complete waste of money.

I've given them a few chances. One blazer came out perfect. In the same order the jacket was 5 inches too small and the pants were 5 sizes too big. The next order (same measurements) they sent a jacket that was 4 inches too small. Each time something goes wrong they ask you to send pictures of your measurements. You have to have someone available to hold the measuring tape and take the picture. So if you don't. Don't order from them. Even after you send the exact same measurements that you uploaded - they still don't make the jacket or pants right. This has been going on for months. I finally filed a dispute with my credit card company.
This company is also based in China. They give you the impression that they are based in Europe but they are not. They even had me send my jacket back to New York one time. FedEx sent it back to me saying the address was not theirs and it was refused. A waste of 20 dollars.
Save time and order from a reputable company and just get it tailored. This stuff isn't worth hassle. The quality isn't even that good.

I was very excited about ordering a coat that fit perfectly, that I could design myself. I filled in all the forms honestly, including my height, weight, and age, which they turned into measurements. I double-checked them and they were very close to accurate, which impressed me.
What arrived was beautiful. I had no issue with the tailoring. But that coat was not made to fit me. I was practically stuffed into it. The only place it fit was in the shoulders. I had lost a few pounds, so it actually should have been a little loose.
There is a handy place on their site for opening a ticked that shows what pictures to upload, so I did all that and got an email fairly quickly. They requested that I send the coat back, which cost a little less than $25. They also asked me to re-measure, just to make sure the mistake wasn't there. All the original measurements were within 1/4" of the new ones.
Then I waited. It took a month to get the new coat back. Meanwhile, they sent me emails assuring me the new one would fit perfectly. I'm embarrassed to even take a picture because the fit is just so horribly wrong. It looks like all they did was add 2" to every measurement from the first coat, including the shoulders. Now the shoulders hang down over my arms and there's a strange sort of wrinkle down the back under the arms. I doubt that coat would fit anyone. The shape is just all wrong.
I would have to take the coat to a tailor to get it fitted correctly, which would supposedly be reimbursed by Sumissura. I'm not convinced it's fixable, though, and I have spent enough time, energy, and money on this disaster. I am certainly not going to spend more money that I may never get back.
I emailed and told them how unhappy I am with the coat and they never replied.
The only positive thing about this experience is that I will no longer wonder what it's like to have them make me a coat. I know, and it's not good. I'm also very glad I didn't order the more expensive fabric or extra linings because they do not give refunds at all! This is not a company I would recommend to anyone under any circumstances. I am out $239 for the coat plus the cost of shipping it back. Lesson learned.

Diligently took measurements as instructed for a blazer; received blazer which was fairly remote from any sort of fit. Company limits "time" (very short) to request changes/retailor. Sent back with "new" requested measurements and then many weeks later received blazer back again.
Still did not fit and liner poorly sewn/re-sewn in some areas. Still cannot wear for poor fit. Basically a wasted $160+.

The quality of the material and workmanship was horrible. I took it to a tailor here and they laughed when I showed them what the image on the website versus the suit I was mailed. It was so poorly made that it couldn't be altered. Total waste of money. Literally the only nice thing I can say is that it arrived in enough time for me to know I needed to find something else to wear.
