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.

I went in to alter my wedding dress and this team did an absolutely AMAZING job!! They were patient…read moreand made sure my dress was exactly what I wanted. Not only did they hem my wedding dress, they brought it in so it fit perfectly and they added sleeves - exactly as I wanted. They allowed me to come in for fittings as needed and made sure my dress fit like a dream. I also needed a dress tailored for our wedding dance which included adding a split so I could lunge, hemming it to remove the train, bringing it in and adding sleeves. They nailed it!! They were so awesome that I ended up having three other dresses altered in addition to my wedding dresses. Now let's talk cost. The value was SO REASONABLE! The shop where I purchased my dress wanted to charge me triple what I paid at Abel De Valente. So glad I stumbled on this mom-and-pop, family-owned shop! This is my new spot for anything I need altered/tailored! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Horatio is the tailor and very exact when pinning and measuring. There was no rush as I tried on all 11 articles of clothing I had brought in for some type of alteration. A variety of machines made me confident that whatever kind of stitch was required ~ it would be done correctly. Horatio reviews every item with you, the work necessary, and the price 50% deposit was required but credit cards are accepted. Sooooooooooooooooooo, when will 11 articles of clothing be ready for pick-up? 2 to 3 days ~ I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Believe me when I say that I have visited my fair share of tailors ~ but ~ this one gets 2 thumbs up and my vote for best, reliable job. Also, convenient hours and very accommodating.

I know they have to keep their doors open. I just was truly shocked. I am also just not satisfied with the end product? And yes I could have asked for adjustments but I did not have time. These items were needed for an event. I also looked online and it said 3 weeks would be a sufficient amount of time to have what I needed done. And I felt like I was treated pretty coldly when I first came in when I told them I needed the item by a certain date. Told I was "cutting it close". I don't know. Again I really do understand and I'm glad this place exists. I just will not be returning. Especially for smaller Items.

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!
