I hate to leave a negative reviews because I understand that mistakes can happen, and I generally…read moreprefer to resolve issues privately. However, the experience my mother and I had at this establishment was so disappointing that I feel compelled to share it. My mother brought in the dress she planned to wear to my wedding for alterations. When we picked it up, we noticed several blue ink marks on the dress. I calmly said, "Oh my goodness, could you please take a look at these stains?" At that point, the man I believe to be Abel immediately began yelling at me, told me to "shut up," and insisted I was making a big deal out of the situation. He repeatedly used profanity while speaking to us. Throughout the interaction, I remained calm and chose not to argue or escalate the situation. His wife then came out with a wet cloth and attempted to remove the ink marks. While she was apologetic and made an effort to address the issue, the stains were not completely removed. Upon further inspection, we also noticed that the hem of the dress was uneven. We paid over $200 for these alterations and expected to receive quality workmanship and professional customer service. We were not asking for a favor--we were paying customers expecting the service we had paid for. My mother and I are hardworking people who make a conscious effort to support small businesses because we value the work they do. We also believe in treating others with respect, regardless of the circumstances. Unfortunately, that same respect was not extended to us. While I appreciate the wife's attempt to remedy the issue, the behavior we experienced was unacceptable and unprofessional. WE WERE NOT LOOKING FOR A DISCOUNT AND WE PAID THE FULL AMOUNT WE AGREED ON. Based on the quality of the work and, more importantly, the way we were treated, I cannot recommend this business. I will not be returning, and I hope this review helps others make an informed decision. What should have been a joyful and memorable part of preparing for my wedding with my mother was instead overshadowed by the way we were treated. Abel's behavior turned what should have been a special experience into a deeply upsetting one

Linda absolutely made my wedding dress dreams come true!…read more I had a bit of a challenge when it came to buying a wedding dress. When I finally found "the one" it was at the absolute top of my budget and still needed number of alterations to make it my dream dress. Ling story short I was able to find the dress for much less than at the store but between the original size of the gown and losing more weight for the wedding than I originally planned, I ended up with a dress that was easily 4 sizes too big and still needed work to to change some of the dress to the ideal state. Linda made it all happen!!! From making it fit like a dream to lining it just the way I asked to bustling it and my veil to perfection, she did it ALL. My gown was PERFECT and I wouldn't have changed a single thing- all because Linda is a magician!!! She is also kind, thoughtful, flexible and detail oriented. I couldn't recommend Linda more for anyone looking for alterations. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR MAKING MY DREAM DRESS A REALITY!!!!

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!

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.

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!
