Berni C.

Wedding dress elegantly shortened with bustles and the back panel corset intricately improvised! Nina took the stress out of my last minute wedding gown alteration headache!So grateful to Nina for making my long bridal train workable and versatile during our reception and first dance... She perfectly and seamlessly altered my gown as beautifully and elegantly as possible! 100% recommend her for any bridal alterations! She so easily and pleasantly deal with my wedding stress and turmoil! Excellent workmanship! Million thanks Nina!

Stunning dress made better with perfect tailoring
Tria M.

I cannot say enough about Nina and her handiwork! Purchased my daughter's prom dress from Peaches (an overall nice experience - and from whom we got Nina's initial referral), but soon after we got home, looked closer and realized that the amount of tailoring necessary to properly alter the dress (intricate lace and bead work at the bottom, as well as a bustled train), was going to be enormous (as even in four inch heels, my daughter's a respectable 5' 9'NOT a 6' runway model). Wasn't sure at all if the (all sales final at Peaches) dress could be hemmed without losing it's fashion sense and structure, but Nina worked miracles. Very fair and reasonable prices, very thorough fittings and such sweet personal assistance (in her home). From start to finish have never had such a professional and enjoyable formal dress 'fitting' experience (yes, she also does weddings)...Nina's staying in my speed dial forever. Thank you again Nina, you are a miracle worker.

Nina did an awesome job taking my corset in and making it fit me perfectly!

I absolutely recommend Nina for wedding dress alterations. I was looking for tailoring for my wedding dress at a reasonable price and Nina was perfect. Not only was she professional, responsive and honest but she made me feel confident that the finished product was going to be beautiful. My dress required the corset to be taken in, layers shortened and a bustle to be added. I do recommend planning ahead and calling her as soon as you purchase a dress. She works alone so she can get booked up especially during the busy wedding seasons.

I cannot say enough good things about Aynur's Alternations. I recently had my wedding dress altered…read moreand felt so comforted the minute I got there. The process of scheduling fittings was so easy and they are so accommodating. I wanted to make some last minute adjustments to my dress and they did it super quick. I could not ask for a smoother, higher quality tailoring process for my dress. It turned our so beautifully!!

Aynur's Alterations came as a recommendation from where I purchased my dress. They specifically…read morenoted how great their group does with bust work and I could not agree more! I came to the shop on 3 different occasions to handle all alterations, bustle, and final pick up. They accept multiple forms of payment and only service one bride at a time for an intimate experience. Their alterations services came at a premium but their craftsmanship, hospitality, and final steaming services were unmatched. My dress fit me exactly how I had hoped for. The length was perfect, I felt very secure and covered, and my waist was well defined. Aynur was great about thoroughly explaining the three recommended bustle types she recommended. I chose the Bubble Bustle which meant my train was tied up under the dress. She thoroughly explained that my train would attract dirt lines but I loved the way it looked throughout the night! I would definitely recommend Aynur to anyone needing special occasion alterations near Arlington Heights!

Ownership changed hands a few years ago. I WFH, so I don't need to launder as often. Pricing seems…read morerandom, they immediately recommend "Dry cleaning" and if the tag says xl+, they say "Big-size" and add $$. The racks used to be full, with customers clothes waiting for pick-up, this maybe due to people WFH like me. But, I think its due to the service. I used to loved this place, now looking for a new one.

Things change. After years of extraordinary personal service and quality attention to detail, this…read moreexceptional business is in new hands and has lost many of the traits that made it great - and it has lost this customer. Longtime customers will agree that Sue was rare and wonderful - and she earned her well-deserved retirement. Over the past few months, I've tried to overlook how my years of loyalty were suddenly unfamiliar, that I had to provide my name/number, that my preferences needed to be restated, that longstanding operating methods had changed. I overlooked the change in service - but appreciated that I could now use a credit card. But then the cleaning chemicals changed; my clothes suddenly had a foul odor. The care in handling of my garments declined, and it was clear that steps were removed from the former Norgetown way. I wasn't ready to let them tailor my clothes as Sue had until they earned my trust again, alas they won't get that chance. Today, after unpacking my recent cleaning, I discovered that my favorite pair of pants that Sue had cleaned for quite some time had suddenly shrunk in length (and nope, I'm not taller or heavier!); they look absurd now - and they simply can't be replaced. Clearly Sue had used a different method, and now my signature pants are no more. They were expensive, but now I know they were priceless. I'm heartbroken and angry. I had also recently requested an attempt be made to remove a spot on my blazer - they marked it, but missed it; I was ultimately able to remove it myself, so that left me disappointed in their service and attention to detail. Other pants were suddenly filled with static in a way that they never were after cleaning previously, and now they all cling to my leg in an unsightly way. Ugh! And my clothes still reek of this new chemical. Disgusting. With kindness I wish this new staff the best of luck as they find their way and build trust with new customers, but I'm never going back. Two stars - but only for the faded memories of the former seven star service.

Adelina is the absolute best! Excellence resides in her - she could do no less! I initially met…read moreAdelina a few years back when she repaired swim trunks and a hoodie for my nephew, Matt. You could not even tell the items were repaired - they looked brand new! More recently, Matt needed a suit adjusted - the suit jacket was tight in the shoulder area and across the back so he asked for it to be let out. To our surprise, Adelina shared and demonstrated that the shoulders hung too low and the suit jacked actually needed to be taken in to correct the problem. We were both skeptical because taking in the suit to make it feel looser seemed counter-intuitive to us. Sure enough, upon our return the suit jacket fit perfectly and was very comfortable-the desired goal was met! She knew exactly what needed to be done! She also took in the sleeves on the jacket, raised the jacket hem and took in the pant legs - all of which gave him a much improved fit and look - he's a GQ kind of man now! My nephew who is on the quiet side even expressed how talented and impressed he was with her expertise, knowledge and craftsmanship! She is passionate about her work and it shows! I highly recommend Adelina for all your tailoring needs! Char C. PS. My nephew lives in St. Louis and she accommodated us by opening her shop for us over the Christmas holiday and then opening her shop early one Saturday for the final fitting! She goes above and beyond to meet her clients needs!

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU JUST WANT AN ALTERATION!…read more As soon as I tried on my prom dress, she instantly went ahead and mentioned a few changes that could be made to my dress. Although I only wanted the bottom of my dress to be altered, I still agreed with the changes that could be made to the dress. However I did not agree after when she mentioned the total would be $500 dollars. I had to tell her no on the other changes since I only wanted the bottom to be fixed. She had no problem getting rid of the pins and to only focus on the bottom. But then that's when the service shifted. A few weeks later, I came back to pick up my prom dress and I tried it on. As soon as I put the dress on, she immediately said "I told you" as she points to the top of my dress, suggesting that it should be fixed from the top. I felt completely comfortable with my dress, but as she was making those kinds of comments, it felt like she wanted me to hate my dress. I still said no to the adjustments even though she kept wanting to convince me to. She charged me 130 in the beginning but ended up charging 150 on small changes WHEN I DIDNT ASK FOR IT.
