She listens and thinks of every single detail. She is extremely detailed oriented and wants you to look your absolute best! She is talented and has years of knowledge and I felt super comfortable. I felt so beautiful and she truly did magical work! I truly cannot put it into words the amount of detail she has and work she did for my dress! The sleeces, the lace! She thinks of every detail! She was considerate of so many details and even gave me some lace to keep as a keepsake. I would highly recommend her. She is the one you're looking for!!

    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!!!!

It was both too much fabric, and weird pulling on the center seam. Stitch N Ready not only turned around the alteration in effectively a day (picked up next business day), but it lays even better than expected. SO happy and appreciative for their service.

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 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!

Luckily, the dress was done in plenty of time (earlier than they had thought, actually) and the workmanship was perfect. I plan on taking all of my cleaning and alterations there from now on.
