Memorial Tailors

Memorial Tailors is a tailoring and alterations shop in Houston that has served the city since 1993. Its tailors bring more than 40 years of combined experience to garments, bridal wear and costumes.

For cosplayers it offers two services: custom costumes designed and tailored from scratch, and alterations to make store-bought costumes fit. The shop says it handles Marvel, DC and Disney characters among others, and it made the current costume for the Houston Rockets mascot, Clutch. It notes that a one-of-a-kind cosplay costume is a significant investment of time and money.

Work is booked by appointment online or by phone, walk-ins are welcome, and quick stitches can be done the same day. The shop is open Monday to Saturday and closed Sundays.
