I don't think I've ever gone to get professional alterations before, but this was a special dress…read morefor a special occasion, so I searched the phone book. After being discouraged by a couple of unfriendly locations on the phone, I came to the number for North Riverside Cleaners. A little farther from my neighborhood than I wanted it to be, but I thought, "Why not call them? For giggles...." I spoke with a woman named Bonnie. She said she couldn't give me an exact price for alterations because she needed to see the dress. Understood. I asked how late they were open to find out I had only 45 minutes till closing, but I had to get the darn dress in, so I got in the car and booked. Bonnie was a sweet little woman with short, doll-like but slightly graying curls. She was dressed like she came straight out of a 1950s issue of Better Homes and Gardens with an A-line skirt past the knee and a pretty, conservative blouse. The shop itself mirrored her antiquity: old, wooden paneling; a vintage-looking sign out front that lets passers-by know they do alterations; homey, not sterile and steamy like most cleaners.... Bonnie greeted me with a humble and hospitable smile and knew I was the one she had recently spoken to on the phone. She took a look at the dress and keenly advised me of what needed to be done since there were different fabrics and particular frills that needed to be tackled. I could tell she was a seamstress fit for the task. Within minutes and well before closing time, she showed me to the fitting room, pinned what needed to be pinned, took down my information and said she would call me when the alterations were done. All this with a gentle air. I felt like I've known her since I was a child and knew I could trust her. She just made me feel so at home; I almost thought she'd bring out a plate of cookies and some milk! Not much more than a week later the dress was finished and I was very impressed by the handiwork. Such fine and delicate material was perfectly stitched, and the frills looked as if they hadn't been altered or reconstructed at all. Great place, great work, great satisfaction. I will bring all of my cleaning/alteration needs here. Go see Bonnie. She'd love the business!
