    Had a cocktail jacket altered for better fit. They did an amazing job and were able to get it done quickly.

    Not many tailors or dry cleaners left in Crystal Lake. Sammy's is quick, good, and reasonable.

    If you are looking for a designer who is as brilliant as she is kind, look no further than Sarah!…read moreWorking with her for my wedding celebrations was an absolute blast. From our first meeting, she was incredibly responsive and so flexible with every little change and "what if" I threw her way. She managed to pull off the ultimate fashion magic trick: designing my dream gown for our ceremony in Italy, then totally transforming it with clever add-ons for our San Francisco wedding. What touched me most was how she beautifully incorporated heirloom pieces from both my mom's and grandmother's dresses. It made the whole experience feel so personal and full of love! As a professional opera singer, I'm used to being in costume fittings, and I can honestly say Sarah is a total pro! She understands movement, drama, and detail like no one else. Sarah is my go-to for all dress needs, whether it's for the stage or another big event. She's simply the best!

    Sarah is a real-life fairy godmother. I am so grateful that a friend referred me to her. I wanted…read moreto wear my grandmother's wedding dress that she originally wore in 1958. My aunt and mother also wore the dress for their weddings in 1983 and 1991. I wanted to keep the design as close to the original as possible. I wasn't sure what was going to be possible but Sarah did an absolutely impeccable job. It was impossible to tell that it had been altered and I felt like a princess. It meant so much to me to get to wear it.

    Hello Everyone, I…read morecannot recommend Simple Stitches enough!!! I flew in from San Francisco to Chicago, and drove to Rockford, IL in the morning to attend a Wedding Rehearsal & Dinner & Wedding (the following day). I bought a dress last minute, the day prior to my flight, and I could only zip up mid scapular region of my back. Despite all my methods to zip this beautiful dress, I could not. I knew I was going to need this dress to be tailored. The only issue was I needed a VERY fast turn around time, as I needed this dress to be ready by 4 PM the same day! I called about 10 minutes after they opened, explained my situation, and was asked to come in. Immediately I was greeting by the friendly faces working there! They took a look at my dress and gave me a solution. The prices & rush fee were EXTREMELY REASONABLE!!! My dress was done within 1 hour of me dropping it off. And I felt like a princess!! They did such an amazing job, and I would not hesitate to fly all the way from California to Rockford, IL to get any of my clothes tailored. That's how amazing the service was. I received so many compliments on my dress (a House of CB dress), and the alterations made only further enhanced the beauty of this dress. If you are in need of alterations, I beseech you, GO TO SIMPLE STITCHES!!!! Oh, and by the way, if I want to remove the alteration, I can do so without any damage to the dress! And if I don't it is sturdy that it can stay as a permanent alteration to the dress! I wore this dress pretty much from 4 PM to Midnight, and it held up, perfectly!

    DO NOT go to Debra for your alterations. Even if she was recommended by your bridal boutique. The…read morework she did on my wedding gown was just awful. I had and am still having an awful experience with Debra. From the beginning she was hard to communicate with. At first, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because she had mentioned that she would be having some surgeries and would be trying to get the alterations done before then. But I regret giving her my dress at all. She never knew who I was or what she was altering for me whenever I spoke with her regarding my dress. This was a big red flag but she already had my dress. She was very forceful/rude when it came to payments being in cash only and constantly reminded me of this fact. The alterations she was going to do were adding a bustle, shortening the straps, replacing the zipper, fixing the snags on the lace, and adding cups. The buttons and hooks she added for the bustle are sloppily sewn on and make the fabric pucker and it does not lay correctly. They are also not evenly placed. There is also one hook missing. She did not shorten the straps (or she didn't shorten them enough because they still fall off my shoulders) or fix the snags. The zipper replacement was also very sloppy. You can see the zipper through my dress and it is crooked. I've spoken to another seamstress since and she confirms that the work is bad and very sloppy. As you can imagine, this was all very upsetting to me when I finally tried on my dress. Which she didn't mention that I should do before picking up the dress. My mom picked it up for me and I didn't have a final fitting. Not only was all of the sloppy work upsetting, but I also spent almost $300 on alterations that I will just have to have fixed by someone else. She also charged me for the cups to be added in but she did not finish the work. She wanted to wait to add the cups because they don't fair well in the dry cleaning process. At the time, I thought that waiting on the cups was fine because I assumed I would be going back to her to finish my alterations. I will not be returning to her for future work. I contacted Debra on more than one occasion to share my concerns and ask for a refund and her response further confirms that she does not know who I am and she does not remember my dress. She said that I had a final fitting with her and that I did not voice any of these concerns. As I stated earlier in my review, I did not have a final fitting. She never mentioned having one and rushed me to pick up the dress because she was having a surgery. Because I couldn't get there in her time frame, my mom picked up my dress for me. She did refund me the amount for the cup installation. Even if it doesn't come close to what I will have to pay to get it all fixed. I understand that she was having some surgeries but she should not have taken me on as a client if she could not deliver quality work. Debra is unprofessional and does not take the time to even try to know the client she is talking to.
