Mr. Anthony is also very accommodating and goes well beyond what other tailors would do. He has damn near recreated a whole outfit for me that I needed complete within 2 days. You literally just have to go there and utilize his services to enjoy the experience. I've included a photo, I'm in the brown, that he had to shorten, take in the waist, and adjust the top. Thank you so much Mr. Anthony for always doing the BEST work.

Alina is amazing. I…read morebrought my wedding dress to be altered here, and my mom also brought her dress to be hemmed. Alina was so kind and helpful with the fittings, hemmed my mom's dress and added some lining that she asked for. She altered my dress, which was kind of complicated -- I needed the shoulders shortened and the dress has long sleeves that needed to be detached, and it was also all illusion on the top, and then the skirt needed to be hemmed as well -- she did an incredible job on both my alterations and my mom's dress hem. She was super nice, and worked quickly, getting my dress done in 3 fittings (initial, one to see the shoulders done, and final for the hem), and I had my dress back with a comfortable amount of time before we had to travel for the wedding. She was incredible to work with and if I ever need any other alterations for clothing I will bring it to her! She is the best! :)

My daughter fell in love with a dress on TikTok that she really wanted to have made for her bat…read moremitzvah. I asked around for the best seamstress to make a bat mitzvah dress and made an appointment with someone else. Days before our first appointment I started hearing stories about girls dresses falling apart that was made by this other seamstress. I got nervous and asked around once again and Mimika came highly recommended. I called Mimika and felt really confident with I had chosen the right seamstress by the questions she was asking me about my daughter and the dress. We got to know Mimika and her team pretty well during the dress making process since there were a bunch of fittings and she ended up altering the rest of the familys clothing for the big weekend. She is absolutely lovely. She also may be the busiest seamstress in town with the # of people coming in and out of her office for fittings, but she always made her deadlines. The dress she made was even prettier than the tiktok original. She also took the material from the dress and added it to a pair of white Jordan's, which completed the look. My daughter was thrilled. I was also thrilled with a dress she altered for me. I had trouble finding a dress to wear for the occasion and finally found one i liked, but not loved. However, after Mimika altered it I loved it and it was just perfect for the occasion. Two weeks before my daughter's bat mitzvah she had a little freakout that the high low dress she had chosen was going to rip in the mosh pit. She asked if we could shorten it and I called Mimika in a panic. She assured me there was no way this dress could rip, but said she would shorten it if that's what my daughter really wanted. I trusted that it wouldn't rip and she was right; the dress held up perfectly all night long (and there was a lot of moshing :)). I've already decided that Mimika will make my dress for my son's bar mitzvah in 2 years after seeing her amazing work. She told me to call her 6 months ahead of time to leave plenty of time. It's in the calendar, but look forward to visiting her for alterations before then.

Mimi and her staff are very nice and make helpful suggestions. However, how they run their…read moretailoring office is a HOT MESS. I had made arrangements to pick up 2 dresses for alterations and they forgot them at home. They said they would go back home to get them, but I decided to give them more time and pick it up the following week. After I brought the dresses home, I saw that they forgot to alter one of the sides of a dress - it still had the pins in it. Mimi was apologetic, but my husband had to go drop it off again and then pick it up the next day. When I got the dress back - I noticed that there were numerous pulls in the fabric of the dress along the side that had to be quickly altered. I did not even bother to call her to tell her about it. I will definitely not be going back. Their alterations are good - not great. If you are looking for simple hemming or alterations - I think they would be acceptable. Anything other than that - do not go here. Also - Make sure to remind them about your confirmed pick up times/dates. VERY IMPORTANT. I was truly hoping that they would be terrific since they appeared to be warm and friendly. Very disappointed.

When I lived in the city I was spoiled with the convenience of dry cleaning right in my building…read more When I moved to the burbs 5 years ago I walked into one of the many dry cleaners in my town and gave them my business without asking many (or any) questions about pricing. I had a 2 year old and newborn in tow and just wanted someone to clean the spit up off my clothes no matter what the price. After 5 years of rolling my eyes at the price whenever picking up my dry cleaning I decided to look into other options. I called Skokie valley Laundry & Cleaners (thank you, yelpers) and realized they were 1/3 of the price of the dry cleaners I was using. Gasp. And for 1/3 of the price they even pick up and deliver my dry cleaning twice a week! As a working mom with 3 little ones I've learned that outsourcing as much as possible is key so not sure how it took me so long to realize that you can get your dry cleaning delivered. We've been using Skokie Valley & Cleaners for several weeks now and IMO it's 5 years too late. Besides the savings I'm loving the delivery option. Randy, who has apparently been with the company many years, picks up and drop off twice a week...and does the same for many of my neighbors. While I"ve never met him since I'm at work when he's at our house, my nanny is a fan. And I'm a fan of not having to find time to get to the dry cleanings, squeezing it into the car among all the car seats and (of course) the savings that can go towards more clothes that need to be dry cleaned.
