Aynur's Alterations came as a recommendation from where I purchased my dress. They specifically noted 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! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Aynur's Alternations. I recently had my wedding dress altered and 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!! read more

We were very impressed with Aynur's incredible craftsmanship--she turned a beautiful gown into the perfect gown! Her talent, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail made the whole process stress-free, and the dress fit my daughter perfectly on her big day. Highly recommend. read more

Anyurs Alterations did an incredible job on my wedding dress! They worked so carefully with the lace and beading to preserve every detail without cutting anything off, and the results were perfect. They were also extremely accommodating with my schedule and made it easy for me to get there from the city. I truly appreciated the care and attention they gave both to me and my dress. They came highly recommended by my sister, and I've already referred a friend who's now getting her dress altered there too--I can't recommend them enough! read more

I had such an amazing experience with Aynur. Right after my first appointment, I knew I was in great hands. She has an impeccable attention to detail which led to my dress fitting like an absolute glove. Aynur is also so patient, kind and dedicated. I had customization requests for two types of detachable sleeves using extra fabric and lace I had - cap sleeve (pictured) and long sleeves. I shared with her my vision and she worked with me to manifest it. I had design ideas but wasn't sure how to recreate with my material, but Aynur laid out all the material and came up with ideas on the spot that I fell in love with quickly. Aynur was also dedicated to make sure everything was absolutely perfect and on time for my final fitting and pickup (even in her words, if it means showing up at my house haha!) Highly recommend!! read more

I used Aynur's Alterations recently to make alterations to an off the rack dress I am wearing to my son's wedding. She is a skilled seamstress! She listened to my feedback during the fitting and made the alterations such that the dress fit perfectly! I thought the price was reasonable given the changes made. I'm very happy with the quality and service I received. Thank you! read more

I am so happy that I went to Aynur for my wedding dress alterations. During each of the 3 fitting appointments, she was professional, kind, and efficient. I was expecting to be there an hour for each of the appointments, but they only took 30 min! She truly knows what she is doing. The bustle of the dress was absolutely beautiful. I was worried it would look like the train of the dress was just hooked onto my waist, but it meshed seamlessly with the waist, almost like that was how the dress was made. Aynur's work is of the highest quality. You will not be disappointed! read more

I really enjoyed working with Aynur to make my wedding dress perfect for me. She was attentive to details and every appointment ran smoothly. Aynur was recommended by the bridal shop where I purchased my dress (Brides by Young). I think her work was high quality and exact, and helped me feel comfortable for my whole wedding day. When I took my dress there, I believe I had less than 8 weeks to have alterations completed. I also wanted to add another layer of tulle to my dress. I had seams taken in in the bodice and straps, the length was hemmed for my wedding shoes height, and added cups, a bustle, and a layer of tulle. Aynur also steamed the dress for pick up so it was ready for the big event. I was surprised at how the cost compared to what other brides have shared with me. I took the recommendation from the shop and did not shop around at all. When I was given the cost after the first appointment, I was sticker shocked, but did not feel I had time to change my mind. The alterations were about 2/3 the cost of the dress (which was not low to start with). read more

I was recommended to Aynur from my bridal boutique, and I am so glad I went here! Aynur did an amazing job altering my wedding dress!!! She is the best!!! She made my dress fit perfectly. I didn't want to take it off! She is amazing at what she does!!! She made me feel comfortable and make it just how I wanted it. She even made last minute alterations for me as I was already living out of town. She went above and beyond for me. So thankful! read more

I am so happy to have had Aynur work on my wedding dress. She was recommended to me by the bridal shop where I bought the dress and it turned out she was located just a few minutes from me! Right from the start, it was already working out great! I had to buy the dress in a much larger size in order for it to fit my bust so there was going to be a lot of work in order to take it in around the waist, adjust the hemline and create the bustle. In addition, it was a strapless gown and I wanted to wear it without a bra so Aynur also recommended putting in additional boning for more support. In the end, the dress fit like a glove! It felt like a whole new dress once she completed the work. It was exactly what I imagined I wanted to look like on my wedding day. She was also able to help adjust the dress my mother was planning to wear for the big day. She bought a dress off the rack and it needed some adjustments at the shoulder and the hemline. They were able to add her in for an appointment following one of my fittings so they can have her try it on and make note of the changes needed. Aynur also made some recommendations on how we could style her jacket so the dress would still shine. She had some really great ideas that we loved and we were able to pick up both our dresses on the same day once the work was done. Truly, I would not have felt as amazing as I did on my wedding day had it not been for the work Aynur did on my dress. I would definitely recommend her to any bride looking for a seamstress. read more

Worst Seamstress I have ever had the displeasure of working with. She tried to convince me that a dress that was CLEARLY 2-3 sizes too small with a 5inch gap between the zipper was the right size for me. read more

Could not recommend Aynur's enough! The alterations to my wedding dress were stunning. She added boning, added a bustle that made my already beautiful dress look more amazing, she altered the length and ensured it fit perfectly. She was even able to add additional lace touches that matched the original on the dress to achieve a look I was going for. Scheduling and pick up were a breeze. You will have a great experience here. read more

Aynur was recommended to me by the women who own the bridal salon where I purchased my dress. Aynur very easily understood what my dress needed and made it fit me perfectly. I told her what I wanted in terms of fit and required undergarments and shapewear--and she delivered. The dress was amazing! My entire wedding night I was told how stunning I was and how obsessed everyone was with my dress--I mean, SAME. Everything was perfect!!!! Aynur and her daughter were super easy to work with and worth the hour drive from the city. read more

Aynur did a great job altering my wedding dress so that it would fit me perfectly! The staff were very nice and helpful.

Aynur's Alterations is hands down the BEST! Not only is she kind and welcoming, she's also AMAZING at what she does! During my first visit I found out she had been a full time seamstress for the past 30 years and is now her own boss working out of her home. I absolutely adore her and her boss moves! She made me feel extremely comfortable and her confidence simply assured me I was in excellent hands. She quickly understood my vision and was extremely accommodating. Price-wise I feel that it was very reasonable for ALL the work that had to be done to my dress. She managed to take in the waist, bust, shoulders, back, added cups, hemmed, added boning, steamed, bustled, and even bustled my cathedral veil. (yall I didn't even know that was a thing!!!) My first fitting was the longest as my dress had to be taken in a good amount however the second fitting was to make sure no additional changes needed to be done...the third/final appointment was just to pick up the dress, pressed and ready to go! At this time the payment was due; she only accepts cash or Zelle. The entire process from start to finish took about a month (1-2 wks between appointments) Unfortunately my wedding was affected by COVID19 and thus had to postpone it to August 21st therefore I'm unable to share the photos however, I'll be back to show you her wonderful work! Should my dress need FURTHER alterations in 5 months....I'll without a doubt be going back to Aynur's! read more

I went to Aynur after she was recommended by my bridal salon. Aynur was wonderful to work with, and my wedding dress alterations were expertly completed. After some significant weight loss, my dress was far from fitting me. Even so, I always felt that Aynur could make it right, and she did. She is a woman of few words but is highly professional and skillful. My dress fit me so well at the end, like it was made for my body specifically, and I got so many compliments. If you want to make sure your alterations are done right, go to Aynur! read more

I was recommended to Aynur by the bridal boutique I bought my wedding dress from and I am so happy i went to her! My dress fit perfectly and was so comfortable. Aynur listened to everything I told her I wanted, she really made it such a simple process. I love that it's a mother daughter business, they are both so kind and professional. I traveled with my dress on a flight from Chicago to Miami and there was not even one wrinkle on my satin dress, that's how perfect Aynur steamed and packed my dress. Thank you for everything! read more

When I bought my wedding dress, Aynur's Alterations was recommended to me as THE PLACE to get my alterations done, and now I know why. They quickly got an initial appointment for me set up, and in the appointment made sure all the changes I wanted would be perfect. I gave them my dress with about a month and a half before the wedding and that wasn't an issue. They were kind and warm and made me feel so comfortable every time I came in for a fitting!! The alterations Aynur made are absolutely gorgeous and enhance my dress beautifully. I am so glad I chose them, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great person to alter their wedding dress!! read more

I want to say if your looking for a place to go where someone is a skilled perfectionist then go to Aynur's. I seriously was thinking how can she make the dress look like she didn't do any alterations in the back. There is no way. People will see a gap & the fabric will not match. I was totally wrong! The dress turned out amazingly beautiful and was a perfect match! I live in the city it is so worth the drive. I'm so ever pleased & she is a true gem! read more

There are not enough positive things to say about Aynur!! She is absolutely amazing. Patient, kind, honest, and extremely talented. I cannot recommend her enough! She completely altered my dress and made it exactly what I envisioned. THANK YOU AYNUR! read more

Aynur is a life saver! I have a beautiful dress, but my other alterations fell through last minute. About 6 weeks before the wedding, I reached out to Aynur after seeing her Yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did! She got me in within a week, was so kind on the phone and even nicer in person! Once at the first fitting once I had the dress on, she told me the different things she'd alter and the price she'd charge. I agreed with her price and she went straight to work, pinning everything and cutting where she needed to. I watched my dress come back to life and she fit it to my body (it was way too big.) At my second fitting, I went into it assuming it would still need a few minor things but NOPE. Fit like a glove and she even did a beautiful, intricate bustle for me that just makes the dress look so unique. I couldn't recommend Aynur enough. I live in the city and commute out to her and it's TOTALLY WORTH IT! Can't wait to wear my dress in just a couple weeks! read more

Very professional and did a wonderful job. Took a custom gown with a lot of detail and did a great job making it just the right fit. Altered the bodice to shorten it, removed beading under the armpit and added fabric to prevent underarm chafing, and added sheer fabric to the neckline to bring it up higher. Schedules appointments and was on time. Turned part of her home into a studio. Would recommend for any alterations! read more

Aynur was absolutely wonderful to work with and did an amazing job! She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and nice. You can tell she is very organized and clean, as she takes great care of her home, and accordingly your dress. Aynur altered one of my bridesmaids dresses and we were shocked at how much better it looked after. She also altered my wedding gown, removing the bust from the skirt which made it fit me much better. Aynur even sewed in a monogrammed heart from an Aunt at no extra cost. At my final fitting everything was perfect, but the bra cups still had to be sewn in. I'm sure it was a very rare oversight, but when I went to wear my dress on my wedding day, only one boobie was sewn in! (I thought maybe it fell out, but it should have been sewn in well enough for it not to) Being a plunge front, strapless, low back dress I had tried ten different bras and nothing worked, so this was a pretty big deal... I ended up cutting out the single cup and somehow a bra I tried before magically worked the day of. This aside, my dress really was beautiful, and I'm glad I went to Aynur! read more

I was looking for someone to alter my wedding dress and found Aynur through Yelp because of her 5-star review. Aynur was absolutely wonderful! She was so patient and answered all my questions about alterations, made helpful recommendations, and ultimately did beautiful work. She hemmed my dress and created a bustle, and stitched up a rip in my mother's veil from the '70s. Everything was very reasonably priced. Her daughter handles payment and scheduling, and it was very heartwarming to work with a mother/daughter duo. I felt that my dress and veil were in very good hands with both of them. Aynur even accommodated a last-minute request to hem my mother's dress for the wedding. The dress was beaded and it couldn't have been easy to hem but her pricing was beyond reasonable. I would recommend Aynur 1000%!! read more

Aynur was wonderful! My dress was perfect and she knew exactly what to do to make sure it fit everywhere and I wasn't adjusting all night!

I have gone to Aynur several times to get bridesmaid dresses and special event dresses altered and every time it's absolutely impeccable! Her work is done meticulously and she is sooo sweet!

Very satisfied and got many compliments on the dress! I'll be back for any future alterations. read more

I found Aynur as she was recommended by the ladies I bought my bridal gown from at Dantela Bridal Couture, which I am very grateful for. Aynur was amazing to work with and made me feel comfortable the entire time! She is a very busy lady, as she books up quite quickly, but she never made me feel rushed and was also responsive to my texts and calls. She went above and beyond, even including a fresh press of my gown and even my veil upon pick up! She altered the length of my dress, but also altered my off the shoulder gown to a strapless one, just like I wanted! I fell in love with the lace detailing, and the ladies at the bridal shop assured me that altering the gown would not be an issue at all with Aynur. It looked like an entirely new dress and there was no way I could tell it was even altered so drastically. Throughout that whole process, I did not have any doubts with Aynur. You can definitely tell she is very experienced in her craft! I highly recommend her for any alterations! read more
