Eva did an absolutely fantastic job altering all of my pageant wear. I gave her over 5 items to alter including work with detailed beading that she had to hand remove and re sew. She nailed it everything fit beautifully and I'm set for my competition coming up. She is also such a sweet person and I look forward to seeing her every time I come in for a fitting. 10/10! read more

We had such an amazing experience here! Not only is this a beautiful evening gown shop with a stunning selection of dresses, but the tailoring services are truly exceptional. Eva tailored my daughter's flower girl dress beautifully! read more

Jee Fashion Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

Updated review: After a less than satisfactory experience going by mistake to an older location and then getting such a kind outreach by Eva, I decided to go to the new location today and give it another try. As a new resident of Skokie, I was pleased to be treated so well. Eva was so very attentive to both myself and another longer-term client, I felt like fate had encouraged me to find this place! Eva is known for quality work and is also a quality human being. She even offered to deliver the finished work. I can understand why she has been in business for so long and maintains her #1 rating in the community. read more

4/14 update: She's been deleting photos and I have to keep adding them again. After I blocked her, she created two separate accounts to continue harassing me. UPDATE TO BELOW: I changed it from 3 stars to 1 star. These messages are really creepy. I thanked her and said I would consider it, and she continued to harass me because I wouldn't tell her why I gave a three star review. ----------------------- UPDATE: It was really disappointing to come back and see Eva's response here. I was actually going to come back this week and ask her to help with another dress, because overall I did have a good experience with her. For her to claim she never saw me is very disappointing. ------------------------ She sent me a message after my first review leaving three stars asking who I was because she didn't remember me (which was already a really strange comment to make). The reason I didn't answer her was because I had seen her responses to every other review that wasn't five stars, and I didn't feel comfortable being put in that position. It's unfortunate that she seems to assume that people are leaving fake reviews just because some of us don't respond to her when she messages us. Again, I liked her work enough that I was planning to go back... but after her comment under my review, I won't. read more

Jee Fashion Alterations - Dress alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

Eva did incredible work on my two dresses for my wedding. She did what I called "dress surgery" on my white wedding dress - I bought a sample size and she took it down two sizes to fit my body perfectly and completely changed how the bottom of the dress fit. It was super delicate lace with embroidered flowers, and she cut out some of the flowers that would've been lost in the alterations and restitched them on other parts. She also listened to all my concerns (and I had a lot) and made sure the dress was exactly what I wanted. She never pressured me into doing the alteration "the simpler way" that would've lost some of the beauty of the dress. She also altered my Chinese qipao (red wedding dress) that was velvet with sequins and did a great job with that delicate material too. I will call out that Eva can be inconsistent with timelines, so you'll have to remind her if you're working with her. She did do two rush orders for me. But she also missed a deadline with the third fitting for my wedding dress (this was because she was sick, but she also had over a month to make the alterations). Overall, she's so nice, great value, and puts in great craftsmanship. She is my go-to seamstress. read more

They ruined my pants. They use a machine that can damage the garment. Look at the pictures. They tried to fix their bad work and made the garment even worse. The pricing was very expensive and cash in advance. I tried to support a local business. They do not press the garment before they give it back to you. Other customers complained of the very sloppy work while I was there. There are other 1 star reviews. The dishonest owner claims that the damaged pants are not her work. The invoice shows otherwise. When she asked me how much the pants cost I responded they are part of a $ 400.00 suit. Clearly she knows what she did is wrong. Why else ask me the value of the garment. The last picture shows how she burnt the inside of the garment when she tried to fix her poor workmanship. The evidence is overwhelming as several pictures of the bad pants show the floor of her shop. The dishonest Eva can try to explain that. read more

The best customer service. Eva is the best, she has a huge collection of the most beautiful dresses and very helpful. I came for my brother's wedding and she was the only one to go tooo. I highly recommend this place. read more

This place is amazing and the work is fantastic!! On time, great price and outstanding work!!! 2 huge thumbs up!!!!

You know I have been coming here for years before it was Jee's and before it was Rina's. I've come when I've needed hemming and such but found the owner very reliable realistic and efficient. I brought once for jeans to be shortened and she gave me expectations on the request meaning how it was going to look and I'm happy how it turned out. She is definitely reasonable with her pricing too and many of the laundries use her and so their prices are much higher. I brought my niece there for her prom dress a couple of years ago and she did a fantastic job taking it out and shortening the dress. She even sells jewelry and accessories for weddings and formal events. I brought in for take in as the waist line of my jeans were too large and she had to take in the pockets and it looks much more flattering on me now. She's closed on Wednesday but I worked around it. I didn't realize on Yelp why I couldn't find her listed as a "tailor" o In Skokie so I'm going to ask YELP! read more

She was on time with my items at time of the fitting as well as the way it looked. I found out about the place from a friend and Evelyn is amazing! She's the owner and seem-tress! I appreciate her effort on making my dress perfect for my night. I had a perfect dress fitting and she made the perfect adjustments. She was on time for the return and also called me back for the fitting to re azure it was correct. Thank you again she's the Perfect person to go to. read more

Worest experience ever. My items were not ready on the due date. To make things worse, instead of stitching the hem, the owner decided to use glue damaging the fabric. I have never encountered a professional taylor using glue on suite jacket and pants. The owner did not even own up to the mistake. Very arrogant and amateurish. Avoid this place!!! read more

I came to Rina's from the good reviews she has on yelp. I honestly couldn't have been happier with the results! I had a bridesmaid dress that was too big and gave me no shape and I needed to get it taken in before wearing. This place has really good prices for alterations and when I picked up the dress, it was done so well it didn't even look like she made any changes. I will definitely be coming back! Thank y read more

I chose this location for bridesmaid dress alterations based on Yelp reviews but I was not happy with my experience and will not be returning. I felt that the services were overpriced for basic alterations. It took about 5 weeks for the dress to be ready (not leaving much room before the wedding for pick up). When I arrived to pick up the dress the bottom hem wasn't done so I had to wait 15 min while they hastily fixed it. Overall the dress looks fine, but I feel like I would have had better service and paid less elsewhere. Edited to add: Yikes!! Just changed my review from 2 stars to 1 after reading the owner's unprofessional response to my review that was full of false information- she never called me 5 times, I had my shoes with me the entire time, etc. Im truly shocked. I hope she's just confusing me with someone else and not entirely making up a story to make herself look better on Yelp. read more

Not even one star! I asked to fix my winter coat on October 11th. supposed to pick it up 3 weeks later because she go away. So I accept it and I went there to pick up my coat, it was not ready. She said it will be ready next. And weeks later she called me "we could not do it for you go somewhere and we will money back! She did not start work. Even she did not say to me " sorry". If you want to waste your time, go try. She is neither kind nor polite to her guests. I want to say she is crazy. I saw what she said. I am not drinking person. And I tried picking it up in the morning at 11:00. And I'm student go to school afternoon. She was crazy all lying on their review. Don't be fooled by them. And they just opened it and nobody was there. I just say " I will post on Yelp what you did," she said " whatever you want" and she never says " sorry". I believe that they will no longer do business. read more

Eva is great ! Very happy with my alterations , my dresses were done quick! Thank you !!!

I would highly recommend Jee for all types of alterations. I brought in a lehenga with complicated beading that effectively needed to be remade. Jee was able to fix my dress and then some. And the best part, she was able to tell me what I did and didn't want/need. You cannot beat that level of expertise! Highly recommend! read more

Eva knows what she's doing. I have had the pleasure of having many successful alterations on dresses here. Her work is top notch, and I'm always able to get a quick turnaround if needed. Very pleasant customer service, she truly cares about you and your business. I have recommended to many friends and family already, and don't think I will ever go anywhere else! read more

My daughter decided last minute that she wanted to go to prom. After finding a dress, we were strapped for time with alterations. Of course, the dress that was chosen had six layers to alter! I read so many reviews on Yelp that this place was amazing and I have to agree! The dress was done perfectly, right in time for prom. There were a ton of gorgeous dresses at the shop as well. Everyone that I dealt with was so sweet and attentive to whatever we wanted. Thank you so much for your help with our time sensitive dress! Highly, highly recommend! read more

This review is LONG overdue. If I could give Eva 10 stars I would! I purchased a gown for the Mrs. Illinois pageant from a friend for $50 & the gown needed A LOT of alterations, particularly in the top. It was strapless with a deep v neckline & absolutely no support. I loved the gown but was very concerned it was unwearable due to the lack of support. It just seemed like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. Let me tell you Eva worked magic and the dress looked AMAZING! She added wire, mesh & cups, completed a pretty lengthy hem & dealt with my constant suggestions and concerns with a smile. She charged me far less than most others would have and completed all the alterations in record time!!! I finished 2nd RU at Mrs. Illinois but I won the seamstress lottery finding Eva! I can't recommend her enough. Quick Update: Eva also handled the alterations for my repeat attempt for the title of Mrs. Illinois, this time I won the evening gown award & brought home the crown! read more

I had a formal gown that I needed hemmed (2 layers) that I needed a quick turnaround. I told them when I needed it and it was ready when I went to pick it up (they were watching for me). Very professional. Nice job on gown. Thank you! read more

She is absolutely amazing! She fixed my son's prom suit and it was a perfect fit! She's also altered my daughter's jeans to look like they were made for her. I cannot recommend her enough! Fantastic! read more

This is a great place for alterations! I think the name changed at some point, but basically Rina's is the same place as Jee's Fashion Alterations, with the same owner. Eva, the owner, was very helpful with altering my partner's suit for a wedding--he's never had a suit fit him so well. She also altered a very tricky, gauzy pink gown for me--something other places might not have been able to do. Eva was clear with both garments that she would continue adjusting until we were happy with the results. Rina's is a great small business and deserves the support. As far as I can tell, Eva runs everything from the books to the alternations. Be communicative with her, and she'll exceed your expectations! read more

Eva is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! I stumbled upon this location while looking through Yelp. A couple bad experiences at David's bridal will do that to a bride. It's always a gamble walking into a place you've never been, let alone doing it with a wedding dress. She did the length, the bustle and even let the dress out (ya know, boobs) in a way I didn't know could be done or look as good as it does. Her alterations made the dress seem like that's the way it should have always been. She listens, she paid attention to what I was feeling and I'm not even sure I said it out loud. I'm sending my bridesmaids, my mothers, friends, their friends, and hopefully all of you. Thanks Eva!!! Took a big chunk of my stress away! read more

They were able to do a last minute hemming and alteration for an intricate bridesmaid dress in well under a week for an incredibly reasonable price. They were quick and kind- definitely bringing any tailoring needs to them in the future! read more

First off, the correct name of this place is Jee's Fashion Alterations. Eva is the head there, and she does a wonderful job. She altered my mother's 80's veil to something more modern, took the thigh space out on my dress so I could sit and also added a bustle to my dress so I could dance the night away. For the price and turnaround, you won't be able to find a better place! read more

I didn't get the name of the seamstress but the three women working there were lovely. +never busy when I came in to get my dress altered and when I came to pick up my altered dress. +For the amount of alterations I needed (im a petite girl) the price was not bad at all! +the appointment to get alterations done was very quick and easy +my dress came out great /took a little longer than I liked but that wasn't an issue because I took my dress in a month before I needed it. -Just make sure to call before picking up items because I did not and I ended up having to wait a few more hours... a small issue. I would've appreciated a text/call from them telling me what time to pick up the dress. Other than that, I recommend! read more

I needed last minute alterations done on a dress I was wearing to my engagement party. I called around to many places to see if they could get it done in the timeframe I needed, and this lovely place said that they could do it. I brought my dress in and got the few alterations I needed within 48 hours and the job was very well done. I can't remember the name of the woman that helped me or owns the business but she was very kind. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Until now, I hadn't found a trustworthy seamstress in Chicago yet. I needed some jumpsuits altered for my vacation and Eva was able to work wonders and have them ready in time. Also, I have given her my Pakistani/South Asian traditional clothes and I am sure those will be beautiful and well fitting too. read more

Eva is amazing. She altered my wedding dress for my wedding this coming weekend! She took her time making sure I was able to see all options for an alteration, puts her customers first, and made sure I was satisfied with her work. Not to mention she is the sweetest woman. I was nervous after hearing stories from big businesses altering dresses and I found Eva's reviews online and I knew I was in good hands. Highly recommend to everyone looking for quality alterations!! Thanks Eva!!!!! You made me love my dress more and more each alteration! Aimee read more

I called yesterday to ask if they would do a job as simple as sewing on a button. The inside button has been missing from my favorite dress pants for weeks, and I failed miserably when trying to sew the thing in myself. That's right, I can't even sew in a simple button. The woman who answered the phone said, "yes of course!" So I stopped by after work thinking I would drop the pants off and come back in a few days. She remembered that I had called earlier, and said she could do it while I wait. I said, "I am actually in a hurry so I can come back tomorrow." And she said it would just take her a few minutes. Less than 2 minutes later, the button had been sewed in -- and when I took out my wallet to pay, she said not to worry about it and to have a great day! I insisted, but she said it was no problem. Incredible! I will definitely be going back when I need any sewing or alterations done in the future -- thank you! read more

I recently scored a vintage Naeem Khan cocktail dress that is 100% covered in beading and sequins. Unfortunately, there was a small tear in the fabric on the seat, right under the zipper. Because it's completely backless (but with sleeves), I also needed ribbons added on each shoulder to tie across the nape of the neck in order to keep it from sliding down my arms all night. Jee Fashion Alterations seemed like my best bet in terms of getting these fixes done by someone who knows how to work with beading and delicate fabric. Turns out, it was. The tailor at Jee did the work quickly and affordably, and knew exactly what I needed done within 10 seconds of my opening my mouth. Will definitely come here again with any evening wear that needs to be altered! read more

SHE'S THE BEST!!! Last week for the first time, I went to Eva, based on the amazing reviews she had gotten. The reviews were beyond true! SHE'S AMAZING!!! I had a difficult beaded dress to alter, actually making two dresses into one. Right from the start, I knew she was as good as it gets! She knew immediately what I wanted and needed, and didn't hesitate. She said it would take a few days...(plus Thanksgiving was the next day), ...but not to worry, she'll get it done. Omg! The dress came out BEAUTIFUL, better then I thought it could ever be! Her workmanship is impeccable, no matter how difficult the project is, but what's even more impressive is her love of what she does!!! SHE'S THE BEST SEAMSTRESS OT THERE! read more

Eva is amazing, don't hesitate to visit Eva for all of your alteration needs. She did a fabulous job on my wedding dress.

I am truly thankful for her, especially because she fit me in on such short notice. Thank you soo much Eva read more

I went to Jee Fashion to get my prom dress altered 3 years ago have been going back ever since!

I found Rina on yelp when I needed my bridal shower dress taken in and shortened after losing some weight. She did an OUTSTANDING job and was able to work with my short timeline.
