I used my trusty Yelp app and looked at reviews for businesses located in both Seattle and Shoreline. I decided on Sunshine Cleaners in Seattle's Wedgwood neighborhood based on the solid reviews. It's helpful that they have an adjacent parking area since they are located near a very busy intersection and thoroughfare. I brought in both his wool peacoat and one of my dressy business jackets with intricate detailed threading. I was greeted promptly, items assessed, contact information collected, and a cost estimate stated as I was handed a claim ticket. I returned a few minutes after the stated date and time on the claim ticket a few days later. Note - I wasn't in a hurry and didn't need it expedited. Both items were ready on hangars and plastic covers as promised. The price was very reasonable, both items were undamaged and looked great! And bonus, without that distinct dry cleaning chemical smell I recall from items taken elsewhere years ago. Convenient, professional, prompt service experienced with my first visit!

They did an excellent job with the alterations, despite some ruching detail and pockets in the skirt that could have complicated the tailoring. I am very happy with the results and excited to wear this dress for my friend's wedding! I thought the pricing was fair for the work completed, and discounts were provided depending on payment type. They notified me at drop off that the dress would be done in 2-3 weeks, and it was ready for pick up the VERY next day! I will be bringing more clothes here in the future.

Most of the business here is for wedding attire it seems and that's understandable - major city,…read morelots of people getting married. Sometimes though if you're like me, far from that, you just need a tailor to repair some clothes. In my case I had a couple pairs of pants with popped buttons. I dropped them off and the lady, perhaps Elsta, was kind. She took my info and told me I should hear back in 5 days and took down my info. She did warn me that if I did not hear back, to call. I understand it gets busy here, the rack when you walk in is loaded with clothes and another with dresses. I came back in a week later as I got busy and was close by coming off work and it was not ready. The lady was very apologetic and told me it would be ready the following day. Sure, enough I got a text the following afternoon to come pick up. The pants were nicely and tightly rebuttoned. Only cost $11 which is less than I expected. So, if I inevitably have to bring more buttons to be sewn or zippers to be repairs, I'll come back.

Svetlana is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever had the privilege of meeting. From the very…read morefirst phone call to inquire about alterations for my wedding dress, I could already sense that she was so warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Meeting her in person only confirmed it. She listened carefully to every single one of my needs and accommodated each one with such grace and care. My wedding dress is chiffon, and she created the most gorgeous custom bustle in the back that made it look beautifully layered and flowing. Beyond her extraordinary skill, she made me feel beautiful. She complimented me, lifted my spirits, and even took the time to teach me how to walk without tripping on my train. That kind of thoughtfulness goes so far beyond what any seamstress is required to do. After I picked up my perfectly hemmed, bustled, and altered dress, I had a small panic moment (actually, a major panic moment) when I realized the style looked slightly different than I remembered from when I originally ordered it from Anthropologie. I called Svetlana in a near meltdown, and without hesitation, she invited me to come in that very same day. Within 20 minutes, she had fixed everything flawlessly!! I was in disbelief!! Svetlana is a true miracle worker, and anyone who gets to work with her is incredibly, incredibly lucky. I will be forever grateful that she was a part of my wedding journey!!! I love you, Svetlana!!!!

Her advice saved me money and helped ensure my dress looks best for the big day, and I'm so grateful! I recommend coming to her if you need guidance on alterations needs! I will bring other clothes back to her bc she has my total trust now!

I've brought 9 dresses to her so far, and from minor tweaks in the length, to full on "this dress does not fit please help" - she has made each and every one fit like a glove! Ann has an incredible eye for seeing exactly what needs to be done, and she does it so quickly. I build in 2-3 weeks before I need an outfit for an event, to be respectful of her time and talents, and many other clients, and she always delivers. I am absolutely thrilled to have found her and her skills. She's a delight and so fun to chat with as well - I cannot recommend Elen Villa Alterations enough!

I have mixed feelings about this place, and want to note that I did not end up getting anything…read morealtered here. It came HIGHLY recommended by good friends of mine. A couple of other factors - the seamstress was going on vacation in so her calendar was really booked up for the next 4 weeks. I attempted to get a dress hemmed and altered, unfortunately due to her going on vacation she wouldn't be able to hem it at all, so we looked at just shortening the spaghetti straps that were too loose on me - $38. I was shocked! The folks before me got their pants hemmed and a shirt repair for about that much total. She was very understanding when I changed my mind and decided to shop around more, but in hindsight I wonder if I was charged more because she was really booked, didn't want the job, etc. Or maybe shes just pricey? Who knows. Mixed feeling and mixed review, again I've heard great things but not sure I'll be back myself.
