I have never been disappointed! I Always excellent work and always, either on time or early. Would highly recommend this store. read more

I was in a short trip from Milwaukee to Chicago to attend a friend wedding, I've searched online and found this place with a good reviews and decided to go there to fix my dress that needs to be shortened 4 layers. My visit turned as perfect as I want it to be. The quality of the work was great, it was turned in time, and the prices were very reasonable. The most important was the high customer service of the two ladies I met there, they were carefully and nicely taken care of my concerns and requests. I highly recommend this place if you were looking for an alteration place. read more

Excellent and friendly customer service! Very responsive to my concerns. Highly skilled alterations staff. I can recommend without hesitation read more

Staff is always so friendly and quality of work is always amazing- my items look brand new!

I like this place. I ended up going here to have my simple J. Crew wedding dress hemmed and to have some lace attached to the neckline. Given the fact that people often try to rip off brides, I was impressed that the people at Quality Alterations charged only $50. It did take longer than expected to get it back, so be sure to spell out precisely when you need it. But they did a great job. So I'd say it's affordable and quality. They do a lot of business, so it can get busy in there, but the quality of the work is worth it. read more

I took an evening cocktail dress in to fix the collar. The collar material is black very thin seethrough lace material and it's very delicate. They just repaired it so nicely, it's like new and original. They really did a good job! read more

Excellent tailor, even better than some of the ones I've been to in downtown Chicago! They have always done an awesome job, especially with taking in the sides of a very expensive dress shirt that I was nervous about having altered. Overall great tailor and very trustworthy! read more

Wow, Quality Alterations Holiday dress sale made my day! Picked up a long dress and two cocktail dresses, $10 each. Lots to choose from and all same price. Merry, merry!. read more

She is amazing! One-day turnaround to replace a long zipper on a coat. Work was immaculate and her price was right on the mark. I would highly recommend her - she is a master tailor! Park right outside her shop - your business shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. read more

I went to quality alterations to get my wedding dress alter. Since Eva bridal, the bridal shop i purchased my dress from, alterations were expensivep0. Eva's bridal alterations started at $350 no matter what was being alter. So I looked to yelp to find someone who haven affordable prices and does great work. Thank God I found quality alterations. They did a fantastic job with my dress. I love their work, personality and price. read more

Friendly service & Expert talent- Reduced dress 3 sizes and made suggestions that enhanced an already beautiful off-the-rack dress to one that looked bespoke. Great value- Provided and held to an estimate nearly half price to other tailors. read more

Based the good yelp reviews, I drove a hour out from my neighborhood to get my bridesmaid dress altered. To say that I was very dissppointed is an understatement. I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews than positive reviews. During the first post-alteration fitting, one shoulder strap was shorter than the other. Rather than take responsibility for the clear mistake, the owner of this establishment states that I should have helped her take better measurements. I bit my tongue thinking that she's having a bad day. During the second fitting, the shoulder strap was corrected but the stitches at the front of the bodice came loose. Now, mind you, she put in these stitches and of course charged me extra. When I pointed out the loose stiches, she states that she knew it would turn out like this; there is nothing she can do, and advised me to pull the stiches out. I was floored. How does this woman run a decent buisness with her complete lack of professionalism?! At that point, I just grabbed my poor dress and walked out. If you are coming here for an alteration, I would seriously reconsider. Compared to before based on prior reviews, either she's gotten very busy or lazy. When I was last there,there was a gentleman who was having words with her as well, so I don't think my bad experience was an isolated event. read more

Let me start by saying that the owner of the store is such a nice person that it is alway such a pleasant experience to go there. And she is soooo good at alterations and she is very reasonable and that is why I drive fairly far every few weeks to get my clothes altered and cleaned. I get more things altered than I probably would ordinarily but things always look so good when they fit well. Right? And as I said, her prices are very reasonable. So if you are looking for a cleaners or more importantly, a tailor, just go down near Northwestern and you'll find Quality Alterations. read more

Brought a sun dress in to be altered and waited one week for it to be done. It should have been simple- just shortening the two straps. When I came in to pick it up the alteration was done by cutting the straps off and sewing them down to the inside of the bodice over the lining. I complained about the unprofessional job and the owner said she would fix it. When I returned to pick it up it was sitting in a heap by the sewing machine- not even hung up. The owner then wanted to charge me ten dollars more than the price originally quoted for the alteration because of the lining! read more

The store is closed on a random Weds at noon without any advance notice. I couldn't pick up my dress that I need to use for the night. I dropped the dress more than a week ago! Closing store during working hours is unacceptable!!! read more

I stopped by Quality Alterations with the suit for my wedding that I had ordered online, and all of it needed small adjustments (pants, vest and jacket). The women helping me were very patient and wanted to make sure they fit it just right for me. When I came back to pick it up, all three pieces were perfect! I was thrilled with the service and thought the prices were very reasonable. Would definitely use them again for any other alterations. read more

This is our second time getting a tuxedo, and we had another great experience! The owner and staff are super nice, and very patient in helping you to make the best choices for your needs! We decided at the last minute to go to a party, and needed same day service. We were able to pick everything up the same afternoon. I know it isn't the norm, but they made it painless and easy. Thanks again, recommend! read more

They are THE BEST for alterations!! I can't recommend them more highly. I have been coming here for years and get my jackets, shirts, and pants tailored whenever I buy something new and it doesn't fit perfectly. They make it look like it was made for me! read more

I've been a quality alterations customer for 15 years. I started going there to get my clothes tailored and they do a great job. I've been able to buy fine suits on clearance (that didn't fit off the rack) and have Quality Alterations tailor the jacket and pants. I'm always pleased with the results that fit me perfectly at a very reasonable price. I liked them so much, I started taking my cleaning there as well, even though there are many cleaners closer to my home. The prices are outstanding, my orders are ready when promised and the staff is extremely friendly. It's a great place to do business if you want to be treated like a friend and not a number. read more

Such nice people, quick service for alterations....workmanship as the name says.... "Quality". Spaced off and forgot to pick up some items and received polite reminder call. ps great pricing too! Now my go-to. Five Stars :) read more

My daughter had a bridesmaid dress that was HORRBILY mis-sized, called a size 14-16 a 5X and it still was about 4 inches too short in the back. Sharry basically rebuilt the dress, let me buy the materal, and went out of her way to make my daughter feel good about the whole experience. The work was beautiful, super fast and really really affordable. I will absolutely be using her services again! Excellent service, and a great deal of sensitivity in working with a teenager goes a long way with this momma! read more

Nihad and her crew did a fantastic job on all of my suits and shirts, every time for a fair price. With the past years in the business, she guarantees all of her work and will re -alter as many times as needed to get it right for no charge read more

I used to go to QA with all kinds of alterations, especially pants (length, waist), and though service was somewhat inattentive, the final result was always professional. Then one day I took there a pair of pants for an alteration at the back. The young assistant attended me and I had no reason to suspect her competence. After trying the ready pants on at home I realized, however, that the repair was not smooth, creating a funny shape at the back. I returned to the store and the owner said she would fix that. Well and good. I came back several days later. The seam was now smooth. But then I suddenly noticed that the decorative seams (those that you have at the back of the jeans, above the pockets) did not meet each other. There was a half-inch gap, which of course also made one pocket higher than the other. As if instead of opening the back seam and taking fabric in, someone just folded the stitches and sewed on top. The top seam was itself totally crooked. As if, seeing how bad the first repair was, that somebody found no reason to invest time in this pair of pants. To add to this, when going to pick up the pants the second time I also brought in a torn crochet (knitted) scarf. The young assistant said she would repair it on the spot. She took a needle and a thread (not even the right color), squeezed the torn part, and in 5 seconds made several round stitches, tied the thread, and gave it back to me. Now I had a big, nice lump of threads on my scarf. I should have gone and insist that they repair the jeans again, but I was afraid that the fabric will show signs of the former failed repairs. I gave it up and with it I gave up on this place. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE Quality Alterations. What a smooth transition from Sharry to the fabulous new owner, Nihad, who always greets me with a smile. Between Nihad and Ekram, these two run a top shop, with minimal turnaround on alterations and next day dry cleaning available. This is the place for all of your dry cleaning and alteration needs. I have been coming here for 17 years and I cannot say enough good things about Quality Alterations, so I thought I'd finally YELP. To anyone in search of dry cleaning services and flawless alternations, this is the place to go! read more

I have used quality alterations several times over the past year and have been pleased with their work. They are pleasant and accommodating to unusual requests. Once there was a mistake in an alteration and they repaired it for pick up the following day. I believe that their prices are comparable to others in the area, at least my experience suggests that. I also think thatThe time to completion is comparable to others in the area. read more

Had a great experience here. Great prices for my wedding dress alterations. They did a bustle, sewed on my sparkly belt, and a few alterations and it was only 200 while my bridal store was going to charge 500. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back. read more

I had a complicated dress and coat that needed significant alterations in a very short time frame for a special occasion. Sherry was amazing and took the time to fit me in and worked absolute miracles with the dress and basically remade the coat for me. She was wonderful to work with, very caring and was beyond reasonable with the price. It is obvious that she really cares about customers and takes the time to make sure that you get exactly want you want. Her workmanship is impeccable and you can see the care she puts into it. I would HIGHLY recommend Quality Alterations and definitely intend to go back! read more

I also had some quality concerns. They charge top dollar for alterations but I didn't feel like the quality was in line with the price.

If you are looking for expert alterations and a pleasant experience, Quality Alterations is the place! They nailed my wedding dress alterations - the length of the 4-layer tulle skirt was perfect and the top could not have fit any better. They are also very reasonably priced! It was such a pleasure working with you guys! read more

Trusting one's wedding dress alterations to a seamstress can be a matter of much anxiety. I found this place through a friend's recommendation and was not disappointed. The service was extremely efficient, pleasant, and quick - within ten days my dress was fully tailored, and the work was absolutely impeccable. The price was astoundingly cheap - $50 for the whole things, plus another $10 for steam ironing. This is when most alteration venues I sought just hear the words "wedding dress" and immediately charge $200 or more. Top-notch alterations for a more than reasonable price! read more

I brought in a business skirt suit for tailoring and she did a fabulous job! The suit went from a boxy nightmare to fitting perfectly. The pricing is very reasonable, especially for the quality of the work. I will definitely be going back and will send all my friends here. read more

Quality Alterations did an incredible job on my wedding dress alterations. I was so happy with the final results of my wedding dress and it fit me perfectly. The prices were very reasonable as well for all of the work they did on my dress. I would definitely recommend them for wedding dress alterations! read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said about how great Cherie and Quality Alterations are. I have been a loyal customer many years now and there has never been a time or request that I was disappointed. The one thing that sticks out in my mind that happened just this year was in May - we had a big wedding to attend in NY and the first thing I wanted was to wear a jeweled dress that need alterations because I had lost weight. Cherie fixed this dress in spite of all the crystals and made it like a brand new dress. The next thing that happened was that my son, a rather robust man, needed a tux (he forgot to get his) in two days. Cherie found a tux that would fit him and all the accoutrements. It was a miracle. I could go on and on about the ways that Cherie has come through for us, just let it be known that you will never be disappointed in the work of Quality Alterations. Cherie is a gem in the Evanston community. Janet read more

Extremely expensive and shoddy work. I brought in a formal dress for a replacement zipper, and not only did they sew the hook in the wrong place, they changed the placement of the sash. The dress still can't zip up properly, and when I took it back to make them fix it, they refused! Never ever EVER again. read more
