Would you hand this to your customer? So wrong
Susan W.

The stars are for the friendly people and I rounded up. I had read great reviews, but unfortunately our garments were late (we gave 3+ weeks for hemming of 3 items, but our deadline was firm and let them know) and we had to rush in the day before leaving. And the work was done very poorly. They did a same day re-hem on our dress because it looked lumpy, crooked and horrible on the outside as well as inside. While it was less bad after the redo, it wasn't done well and we had no choice, but to take it as is because we were leaving for our trip. This dress was unlined and the simple single hem was $35. The other two pairs of pants looked okay on the outside, but beyond bad inside. We didn't even bother to try and get them redone. We went on our trip and had them redone by another place. It was a huge waste of money. Please consider if your important and timely items should come here. They were very nice, but never offered a refund and just said they'd redo them which we didn't have time for.

My recent first time using Carlos' friendly service was more than satisfying! Two pair of slacks that needed zippers replaced. Reasonable, expedient and always friendly. I highly recommend! David Harbin, Chgo.

I have been going to Carlos Tailor Shop for many years. He's a very fair person. Good hearted. Very professional. That's why he has me and several other customers that been coming back to him for years. I trust his work, judgement, advise and I get compliments on my outfits that have been tapered by Carlos Tailor Shop. I read that ridiculous review from Anthony C. Sounds like a person with issues from reading the prior reviews he has made. Some people are just never happy no matter what or how you try to service them. I was there today and God willing again next week with my new pants for tapering.

See all

I have a small hole in my pullover sweater. Can I go here to get it fixed?

Good morning the best thing to do is bring the sweater in

Has anyone taken a coat to them to replace/fix a zipper? I have a NF coat that I've had for years and I want to keep it.

I had a zipper then on my coat before and Carlos did a good job

Rushed a dress from a Poshmark seller ahead of an event, just to try it on and have 1"-2" of…read moreawkward puckering on the front of the bodice. It was both too much fabric, and weird pulling on the center seam. Stitch N Ready not only turned around the alteration in effectively a day (picked up next business day), but it lays even better than expected. SO happy and appreciative for their service.

Came here to get a dress altered and overall the actual alteration work was done well. I needed the…read moredress taken in slightly around the bust and waist area and it cost me $90. The dress fit perfectly afterward and they completed it within a week, earlier than the pickup date I had asked for. The main issue for me was the organization during pickup. I received a text saying my dress was ready, but when I arrived they brought out a completely different piece of clothing even after I clearly described my dress. Turns out they had mixed up the name tags between my dress and someone else's. I ended up going to the back with them and immediately spotted my dress myself. I pointed it out and they asked if I was sure it was mine, which was a little strange. Then they asked me to try it on. At first I thought they just wanted to confirm the alterations looked right, but it turned out they wanted to see if it fit me to determine whether it was actually my dress. Thankfully it fit like a glove. Even after that, they still seemed unsure so I showed Yelp messages I had previously sent with photos of the dress, along with my receipt and even how much I paid. I usually throw receipts away, so thank goodness I still had it. After confirming in multiple different ways, they finally let me take my dress home. Another woman was also there picking up clothing after receiving a text notification and they were struggling to locate her item too, so it didn't seem like an isolated issue. Overall, I think the tailoring work itself is solid, but the shop felt pretty disorganized. The guy working there did apologize before I left, which I appreciated, but the whole process of having to repeatedly prove the dress was mine was definitely frustrating.
