    Wedding couple

    I was VERY concerned about getting my dress altered. It was several sizes too big, it had very detailed lace and beading and it had a huge train with a tricky bustle. I went in, honestly a little worried that I maybe didn't like my dress any more. Fit N Stitches did the most AMAZING job with my dress. The train was bustled up in the most beautiful and unique way, it fit like a glove and I felt so good in my dress when it finally fit correctly. I will now go out of my way to bring anything requiring more than just a hem to Fit N Stitches.

    I purchased my dress at Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City. Living in Chicago, I needed a local shop to do my alternations. The dress was ordered way too big, both width and length, at the recommendation of the bridal stylist I worked with. I was distraught and upset that I would need so many alterations to make this dress fit me. The dress is fully beaded making it difficult to take in and shorten in order to keep the integrity of the dress. Nadia worked with me to not only make it fit great, but also keep the beautiful design in tact. Every step of the way was a conversation. I had 4 fittings to make this dress perfect. She made this dress fit my body and was honest with me about what needed to go and what could be kept. They were easy to make an appointment with and made sure I felt special every time I came into the shop. Thank you again for bringing my dress vision to life.

    I had a great experience here with my wedding dress alterations! The team was very professional and I never doubted they knew what they were doing. They made so many adjustments and my dress fit PERFECTLY- I'm so grateful! Thank you Fit N Stitches!

    I am SO happy with my wedding dress!!!! I bought my dress "off the rack", so it needed a lot of tailoring. In addition, the dress had intricate beading and was quite heavy. Nadia and her team came up with creative solutions to make the dress feel less "heavy", while also maintaining its beauty! I loved the unique bustle that they put on my dress. I got many compliments that the dress was "made for me" - indeed it was! Thank you, Nadia!

    Before photo: dress two sizes too large

    Fit N' Stitches - wow. The dress shop I ordered from recommend I go up a full size but ultimately the dress ended up being two sizes too large. The team had to completely deconstruct the dress - I didn't even think it would be possible - and so I was researching back up options in a panic. I'm so impressed by the quality and thoroughness of the work. They not only hemmed a complicated lace train but also they took in the hips, waist, and under arms; shortened and put grips on the straps; reshaped and added cups to the bust; and added an internal belt to ensure it stayed at my waist where it should. They saved the day. Check out my before and after photos.

    I was rudely told that the zipper couldn't be fixed. Guess what? I took my business else where and voila: it's fixed.

    **********UPDATE: Since receiving a response by the business regarding this review, I would like to point out some things: FIRST) I was rudely interrupted more than once in the interaction, and no excuses should explain that. SECOND) Finalizing the conversation I most definitely was NOT given a quote. No one was trying to figure out the cost for replacement. It was said that it absolutely could NOT be fixed. THIRD) No where in my interaction with this business was I "unsure". FOURTH) The zipper is not "wavy". The coat is bunched up in the photo. I can confirm that laid out flat, the zipper is indeed not "wavy". I can confirm that the new zipper is 100% easy to zip up. It's 2x as durable as the first zipper. FIFTH) The first staff member was visibly embarrassed by her coworkers behavior, and even apologized underneath her breath. The only thing you need to be careful about as a business is lying your way out of some constructive feedback.**************** The zipper on my winter jacket broke, so I was beyond desperate to get it fixed. I had Fit N' Stitches in mind due to some googling research on ratings. I contacted them beforehand, and was told to come on in. Plenty of paid street parking in front. I went around 330pm on a weekday, and didn't have a problem finding parking. It's a smaller shop, but I was still warmly greeted by a staff member. I told her that I am a new customer, I didn't have an appointment, and that I needed to see if my jacket zipper could be fixed with a estimate quote. As the staff member was about to ask me questions about the jacket, we were rudely interrupted by another staff member who said "Are you here to pick up your jacket?" I explained again that I was here to have my jacket looked at, and visibly had my jacket in my hand. The same staff member disregarded my answer and shortly said, "What does it look like?" The initial staff member looked at me and said, "Sorry, we have a lot of winter jackets here". I ignored this awkward miscommunication, and showed her were the zipper fell off and couldn't zip. The same staff member interrupted our conversation AGAIN and said "Is this cotton? What material?" I said "It's down". She looked at me, shook her head and said "How much did you pay for it?" WHAT. So, I explained to her again that I just needed an estimate quote. She said, "Oh, this will probably be $80." I said, "Great, how long will it take?" I feel like the initial staff member was our translator because she said, "No, she was talking about the price of your jacket. I don't know if we can fix it." So, I asked if they could fix it or couldn't fix it. I received a quick "No way, if you find someone who can fix this, I want to meet them." I was looking for that answer in the first place. Just a simple yes or no would do. It felt like I was asking the world of this lady...aaaand guess what, I did get someone to fix it: hassle free. My experience was unprofessional and a waste of my time. Plus side: my jacket is fixed by someone else.

    Can't recommend Fit N' Stitches enough! I was desperate to find a tailor for my delicate wedding dress just over a month before my wedding. I was scrambling to find a place with openings, but Nadia fit me into her busy schedule no problem. She was quick at responding and I was seen within the week. Her and her team worked wonders on my gown that was way too large in the arms and chest. It fit perfectly by the end, all for a reasonable price, and all within the month! They offered helpful suggestions, while also taking my wants into consideration. Thank you so much, Nadia!

    My horrible dress post first alteration

    Based on the consistently poor reviews of this location, no one should bother coming here. This place is a disaster, read other reviews for confirmation aside from mine, I wish I trusted my instict not to go here. This was the most painful experience I have had in a long time. I am standing up in two wedding this summer and I brought my dresses in to get tailored. I found the environment to be dirty and dusty and the service to pair with the poorly kept space. The cost to get two dresses hemmed 1 inch was outrageous. (Especially for the poor work that followed). When it came to picking up my dresses I received both dresses three inches shorter in the back than the front. Did I miss the memo that high low was back in style, buy backward? I broke down in tears and received very limited sympathy. I had to come back to this sad establishment a third time to get my dress re-altered and shortened three inches in the front. This made the dress come to my ankles. II was told that a "new girl" worked on my dresses. I don't understand how no one reviewed her work or would consider hiring her. How both dresses would have been shortened in the back is baffling. It seemed like no one reviewed their work. After my dresses were altered for the second time, when I went to pick it up, there were stains all over both dresses. Management claimed it was just from the steam, but I steam clothes all the time as a drama teacher for my students plays and this was not steam. There were ten stains on one dress and small spots all over the other. There were handprints also on the side of one of my dresses. After an exhausting day of schlepping to Wicker, I was offered a full refund with tears in my eyes and an empty walled but I deserved to have my clothes dry cleaned and that was not provided. This establishment ruined my expensive dresses, had poor service, and did a bad job with my dress.

    Nadia is an absolute gem and such a pleasure to work with! Great experience. I came in with an online-ordered-custom dress that didn't fit me right, despite having provided measurements. And Nadia got right to work and not only did a great job, but also made great suggestions that lent to the overall finished look of the dress. Nadia and her team removed boning and cups, removed and recut the sleeves, shortened the sleeves, pulled in the waist, removed the lining from the sleeves, shortened the front hem, and removed the train in the back. And the finished product was amazing and exactly what I wanted.

    Due to current circumstances, I was unable to send my costume back. I needed the costume altered and the ladies were so efficient and timely. I am very grateful and appreciative. My son was able to enjoy his COVID Halloween and I was able to dress up with him as well!
