    All my alterations have been handled great by Bessie. She has altered three prom dresses beautifully and helped with other sewing issues.

    I have taken clothes to Tad More and the results have been amazing…read more The owner and employees take time to listen carefully and take time to practice their craft in the most meticulous fashion. I have taken my slacks to be shortened and "slenderized" and I have taken two suits of Shantung silk to them. They shortened the hems on the skirt and dress, shaped the dress to more closely fit my measurements, and shortened the sleeves on both the jacket and the coat. They also explained why one modification I requested would create negative "unintended consequences". After they explained their thinking, I could understand why the modification would have been a bad idea. I recommended them to my brother, who had several pairs of dress pants taken in. They even repaired a tear in a pair of jeans. The repair was so perfectly done that I thought he had purchased a new pair --- I was unable to see where the repair was accomplished. These people know their craft. I even left their business card with my cobbler (another endangered craft with the proliferation of athletic shoes). If you wear clothes with classic lines, visit Tad More...you will be pleased you went.

    My daughter's bridesmaid gown turned out perfectly. They even had additional seamstresses come out…read morefrom the back to help pin and watch her walk to ensure the length was correct. This place cares about producing the best alteration outcome. It takes a while to get your item completed but you could pay extra to rush 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!
