Very professional. She did an excellent work for me and she is an excellent tailor. I highly recommend Distillo Tailoring.

Roseanna at Distilo has done many alterations and repairs for my family-- and they've all been great. Her prices are in line with those of other tailors, and her work is superior. She's also a nice person. Highly recommended! read more

Excellent work! I was thrilled with the fact that before even looking at our items she asked us when we needed it - as to provide a realistic service (not allowing us to go through the motions only to tell us it would take longer than needed). Luckily we had plenty of time and still got the alterations done in plenty of time for the event. The work was done expertly and at a reasonable price. This place is a little out of our way, but we'll certainly be back because she's the best we've seen in the city! read more

I took an older suit to be made more modern with better fitting slimmer pants and coat. The results are disappointing and tell me this lady is not good as a mans suit tailor. I don't want to be mean but will just warn you about her lack of knowledge in this area. Some others things she may be great at but men's suits is not certainty not one of them. I took the altered suit that she did to another real men's tailor on Butler Street and he changed almost everything and saw the things I did not like as bad and needing redone. Also expect a healthy bill when dealing here. The suit was ready when promised. She did not even have me try it on when I picked it up. read more

Came here to get a long dress altered (just getting it shortened) for a wedding. Went in so she could mark the dress and whatnot and got a quote of $40-$45 which is what I was expecting because that's about what I usually pay other places to get the same thing done with similar dresses. She did a great job with the alteration and was done in 2 weeks, but when I went to pick up the dress she said she severely undercharged me when she quoted me. Since she told me $40-45, she only charged me $45 but it made me think about how much she was going to charge for what I would consider a pretty basic alteration. I would probably look for another place next time just because I can see this being way too expensive very easily if she said she severely undercharged me but if you're in a pinch and willing to spend the money she does do a good job read more

I took two dresses to her. One just needed to be taken in on the top. For that one, I give her a 5 star rating because it fit perfectly. For anything more detailed, go elsewhere. I wish I had because I felt like she butchered a floor-length gown with beading and a mesh top layer that I took to her after my first dress. It's supposed to be my non-traditional wedding dress. I needed Rosanna to hem it because it was about 6" too long. She cut it too short despite me showing her to make the hem rest on the very top of my feet. Instead, she turned it into an ankle-length dress that's 2-3" too short. It looks ridiculous when I stand barefooted let alone with short heels. Regardless of whether I wasn't specific enough about length, I was very disappointed in the quality. She didn't keep the original style of the hem, she didn't cut the mesh layer evenly (it was jagged, and I could see where her scissors started and stopped), and she didn't fully stop the beading before she cut it. About 80% had been stopped. When I checked the rest of the bead trails, they were falling off and I heard beads and sequins falling on the floor once I took it home. I can do basic sewing, so I fixed the beads and sequins myself. When I complained to Rosanna about the length, she told me she couldn't sew anything back on without making it look wrong. So I solved the problem myself. I bought some mesh fabric that's nearly identical. My mother (who lives 10 hours away and is an avid quilter and amateur seamstress) is going to help me use the fabric to make a ruffle hem to match the ruffles on the dress. To make it blend in more, I have all the beads and sequins that Rosanna cut off, and I am sewing them on myself to continue the original bead trails. I'm fortunate that I have time to fix my gown, and a mother out of state who can work on it over the Christmas holiday. Rosanna's shop is great for simple alterations. For anything detailed, take your chances and be EXTREMELY specific, or go elsewhere. Personally, I will never use Rosanna again even for simple things because I am so disappointed with my gown. I spent months finding the perfect dress, and she didn't spend the time or effort to hem it properly. read more

Such a talented seamstress! I recently went to distilo tailoring and my experience was great! I had a party to go to that called for me to wear a dress. I did not want to spend much money buying a new dress so I remembered that I had a bridemaid dress from a wedding I was in last year. My problem was that it was a typical long bridesmaid dress. I searched for reviews of tailors on google and on angies list and found many great reviews of Distilo tailoring. I went in and met Rosanna the tailor. I told her i wanted my dress as short as it can go and form fitting to my thighs. She fitted me for the length of the dress and it seemed a little longer than I wanted it to be. I asked if she could make it shorter and she told me that if it would be any shorter my bottom would be hanging out. I was hesitant to trust this because I just wanted it as short as possible but covering my bottom. I waited 2 weeks for my dress which was fine because I gave myself enough time before the party . I went in and tried the dress on and IT FIT PERFECTLY! If Rosanna would have made it as short as I thought i wanted, my bottom would have been exposed! I am SO GLAD I trusted her judgement. I feel that if I would have gone anywhere else they would have made it as short as I originally wanted and I would have not been able to wear the dress anymore being too short. I highly recommend Distilo tailoring to anyone that wants honest quality work! read more

As a first time client, I went to Distilo tailoring without needing to make an appointment. I only needed a hem to a cotton dress, so not the toughest job, but I felt respected and treated fairly. Cash or check only, so make sure to ask for an estimate before leaving your garments behind. My dress looked great and I will be returning! read more

A local, self-starter, one-woman operation, Distilo is exactly the type of tailoring shop I always look to support. Rosanna altered my wedding dress even though she doesn't "do" wedding dresses, since the style was very simple. She had it for me within 3 weeks around the busy holiday-times. We also dropped off my fiance's suit pants 2 weeks later to add buttons for suspenders, and she had it ready for pick-up the same day as my dress as well. Best of all, Rosanna is warm but no-nonsense, easy to talk to, and gets shit done. I'll be back with all future tailoring needs. Cash or check only, obvs. read more

I cannot give enough stars to this company. I had a funeral to go to and my pants needed hemmed which I didn't realize until the last minute (the same day). A lady which I forget her name but I believe she was the owner (if she wasn't she definitely needs a raise) was tremendously nice to me. She measured me and had my pants back to me in 6 hours. I was so relieved and thankful!! Not only did she do an excellent job, but it cost under 20$!! Definitely my tailoring "go to" place now. read more

I've gone to Distilo Tailoring for a few years now and I believe she is the best in Pittsburgh. An earlier review stated that Distilo Tailoring is not good at dealing with men's suits and I strongly disagree with that assessment. I've had a variety of work done to suits (of varying quality) by Distilo Tailoring over the past few years and the work has always been exceptional. Beyond that, I can always count on her for an honest assessment of what is and is not possible from a tailoring perspective. So, if you choose to ignore her advice, that's on you. read more

Rosanna is amazing! Hands down the most helpful seamstress around. The first thing she asks is when you need your stuff to be done by. I appreciated this because I was in a wedding out of town and needed my bridesmaid's dress by a specific date. So a specific wrinkle was thrown into my fitting because I was super pregnant. Rosanna was very accommodating and fitted me multiple times to make sure I got the right fit. Her prices are more than fair and I can't say enough good things about this place. I will definitely use Distilo tailoring again! read more

not sure why i haven't reviewed this business before... Rosanna is excellant at what she does...she will tell you what she's going to do, and more importantly make suggestions as to how to alter something so that it achieves what you are looking for. for example, i brought in a dress that had a wrap top that was exposing more more than i was comfortable with. i thought all i needed as a snap, and i'm sure if i'd gone to another tailor and asked for a snap, that's what i would have gotten. but Rosanna asked more questions, and then explained why that wouldn't be enough and that it really required sewing the wrap closed, and then she pinned in and made sure that i could still get the dress on and off! and last year she fitted a blazer that i should never have bought becasue it really was too big, but for a really reasonable price, she made wearable.... read more

I've taken about a half-dozen items here (mostly suits, blazers, and coats) and she does quality work every time. Prices are fair and turnaround time is average. She's always dealt with me in a very professional manner. read more

This place is great for simple alterations but completely inept for anything requiring an ounce of expertise. If you have anything of value, avoid at all costs!! I took a pair of $230 Tellason raw denim selvedge jeans to get a slight taper and a hem, and she completely cut out the selvedge detail! She told me she would taper them from the inside seam, she even pinned them from the inside seam, and then did the complete opposite. I brought the jeans back to see if there was anything that could be done, she was extremely rude and told me that I must have misunderstood her. The selvedge detail is one of the main reasons for buying raw denim and there's no way on earth I would have agreed to that. After I expressed that was not the case and was adamant that she told me the alteration would be on the inside, she began to yell at me and boast about her 37 years of experience and refused to refund my money. This is the most unprofessional, incompetent tailor I've ever come across. If you're making mistakes like this after 37 years, I think it's time to retire. Again, if you need a hem or a shirt taken in, sure she can do that - but that's a low bar for a "professional" tailor. As a repeat customer of hers, it's my fault for misplacing my trust in her and not using an online shop that specializes in selvedge denim. So much for supporting local businesses. read more

Tiny old Italian man who's been in business 30 years. Great work, and cheap. I paid $50 for major suit alterations done in a week and a half. read more

Awesome tailors. Great prices. We purchased high end suits for my husband at the thrift store and they did a great job with tailoring them to fit perfectly. He looks like a million bucks, for very little. I have had some jackets tailored there as well. It is so nice to know that a great tailor is so easily available. Yes, there's usually quite a wait... but they are so good that they have a lot of business. I recommend them if you have suits to fix up, just don't go in at the last minute! read more

Quick, affordable, and very friendly! Rosanna had to completely reconstruct the top of a bridesmaid's dress, and she did an incredible job! I'm so happy with my experience. I will definitely be coming back here for all my future alterations! read more

Rosanna, the owner is an amazing tailor. Very kind and sweet and knows her stuff!!! We have been taking all our clothes to her (even our dogs) for years. She has worked on very expensive items as well as helped us with buttons and snags from our children. She always has things ready when we need them. We have referred her many customers and they are happy with her work. We think she is the best in Squirrel Hill and even on the entire East End! Thanks for all of your hard work...if you want an awesome tailor, go to Distilo's. read more

Great place! I brought in a bag and a skirt to be fixed and both were done perfectly! Plus I really enjoyed taking with the owner. Very cool place. read more

I took a suit in to get some alterations; it was a little big on me. There weren't any other customers on the day I went in; it was raining pretty much all day. Rossana greeted me as soon as I walked in. She was very friendly, polite, and direct. I changed into the suit, she took measurements, asking me how I wanted certain things, told me it would be ready by a certain day, and I was out the door in probably 10 minutes. Fantastic experience. I had some things come up, and my girlfriend picked up the suit for me. Rosanna told her that I needed anything fixed, she would be happy to do so. The suit fit perfectly. You couldn't see anywhere where she made the adjustments. I have a couple other items I need adjusted, and know where I'll be going. I highly recommend Distilo Tailoring. Make sure you bring cash though, she doesn't accept cards. read more

This review is not with regards to tailoring expertise. This is more about customer experience.

This place is amazing! I brought in a dress to get hemmed for my engagement pictures, and was kind of in a rush. Rosanna altered my dress within a week and did an impeccable job! She was very kind and reasonable ($20 to get it altered). I am very happy with her work and will be returning with a bridesmaids dress to get altered in a few weeks. She is definitely worth checking out! Just as a side note, she is cash only. read more

I don't think I can recommend Distilo tailoring highly enough. I brought Rosanna several items that needed taken in, all of which were somewhat complicated (silk, lots of lace, etc.). I had been putting off taking these items to a tailor because I didn't want to see them ruined, but they came back fitting better than I had anticipated, and it would be almost impossible to tell the items were altered whatsoever based on the quality of the alteration. Everything came back quickly & was incredibly reasonably priced. I will definitely be using Distilo's again! read more

Outstanding tailoring. There is a wait depending on the time of year (I picked prom season recently, so a two week wait) as there's only one tailor there at a time (it's a small place.) The quality is fantastic; have had a suit, jeans, and a blazer jacket tailored there and they are VERY accommodating to your desires for the piece. I've used quite a few tailors, mostly in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, but this is my go to place. Prices are very reasonable, though cash and check only. I wanted to write a review so everyone else can see for themselves. read more

Rosanna was so sweet and did an excellent job hemming two dresses and altering a suit jacket. Will definitely be back!
