"Their attention to detail is next-level, and you can tell they really care about getting everything just right. I’m beyond excited to wear my suit in the next few days. It fits so well I didn’t even want to take it off when I picked it up!"
Nolan Harless
"I had a Jacket, shirt and Pants that needed Tailoring and due to my poor planning I needed it rushed. Yelena was super helpful and kind. We got the fitting lined up and my clothes tailored and returned all within a few days. Incredible quality on the clothes. I will absolutely be returning for any of my future tailoring needs"
Mike Konovalske
"If you need any tailoring done this is the place. They hemmed a pair of chinos for me and converted another pair to shorts. The work was done quickly, immaculately and the price was fair. In addition, I asked Joseph to do create some custom pocket flaps from the spare fabric. He did a fabulous job and the flaps loolk like they came with the pants originally. It's this added level of skill and customization that you'll be hard-pressed to find at any other tailor in KC."

How It Works
Our Process
1. Bring your garment
Bring your garment to the appointment so we can take precise measurements and assess the current fit. For best results, wear the undergarments and shoes you plan to use on your wedding day.
2. Get fitted
We will begin your first fitting by assessing the work that needs to be done and the fit/look you would love to achieve. We will begin work and coordinate with you plans for further fittings.
3. Receive text when ready
We’ll keep you updated every step of the way and text you as soon as your garment is ready for final pickup.
4. Pay at pick-up or drop-off
Once your garment is complete and flawless, we’ll notify you for pickup.
Payment is simple and due at that time (drop-off option is available).

Our Story
The Family Behind Thread the Needle
Meet Yelena Blond
Yelena moved to the U.S. from Ukraine in 1994, and she brought with her a unique skill that made her new U.S. friends take notice: Sewing with a personal touch.
As the former owner of Rydell’s Tailoring, Yelena has over 30 years of experience. Not only is she a master at putting together the perfect look for her clients, but she's also an expert at making each one of her customers feel at home. When you visit Thread the Needle, you will come in a stranger, and leave as a well-dressed friend.
Meet Joseph Blond
Born into a family of tailors, Joseph has been around sewing all his life. Growing up, he began his journey by sewing together small coin pouches and other novelties as a kid. His hobby grew into a passion for tailoring excellence as he apprenticed in his family’s tailor shop and mastered the art of sewing.
Joseph believes that every fabric sets a tone and every stitch writes a story, so he puts precision and perfection into his craft.
