About
Greetings!
My name is Edward Sylvia, and I am the founder of EDWARD SYLVIA NEW YORK. My studio is situated in the heart of the Hunts Point neighborhood of South Bronx, which is easily accessible via the 2, 5, and 6 trains, Metronorth, and by car using the Bruckner Expressway.
With more than 35 years of practical experience, I am conservatory trained in both theatrical costume design and production, as well as couture. I provide services for men, women, children, and amateur and professional companies such as custom-designed and produced theatrical costumes, drag costumes, burlesque costumes, evening wear (for both women and men), bridal attire, special occasion wear, menswear, dance attire, activewear, millinery (hatmaking), corsetry, period costume recreation, and Halloween/masquerade costumes.
My services include alteration and fitting, which incur a $40/hr fee. Cost estimates for any alterations required can be provided after garment fitting. In addition to designing unique garments, I am skilled in duplicating or recreating existing designs and garments from pictures and images.
I am a versatile designer dedicated to providing exceptional craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. Although I can meet clients in other locations for design meetings, custom garment fittings must take place in my Bronx studio due to logistical constraints.

My wedding dress was converted into a stunning gown by Edward, which perfectly fits me. He recreated the lower part of the dress according to my exact expectations and even exceeded them. Edward is truly gifted, affable, prompt, and adept at his job. If you require complicated tailoring, I strongly suggest you seek his services. He is remarkable!

Working with Edward was an outstanding experience. He skillfully designed and sewed a beautiful skirt for me, exhibiting impeccable craftsmanship. Edward ensured that I was involved in the entire process and provided wonderful suggestions whenever I was uncertain. I am excited to collaborate with him again in the future.

Ed's performance was outstanding. During our meeting, I presented him with my ideas and some saved pictures from Pinterest. Together, we thoroughly explored the ideas and fleshed them out. When we met again, Ed had diligently sketched out all 5 different looks, sourced cloth samples, and breathed life into the ideas. He never cancelled any of our appointments, and everything was delivered precisely on time, in perfect form. I adored every single costume that he had designed for me.

Edward was truly remarkable! He rescued my day by performing a full last-minute alteration of my formal dress for an upcoming wedding. He labored throughout the night and presented my outfit to me just in time for my early morning departure! He was exceptionally meticulous and an absolute pleasure to collaborate with, making him my personal hero. Don't hesitate to employ his services!

Both a men's suit and a woman's dress needed significant modifications. Ed did an excellent job, ensuring that both clothes fit perfectly. He was a delight to work with and completed the task exceptionally well. There is no better tailor than him!
