Nina is the most wonderful person and best tailor one could ask for in the Mt Prospect area…read more It's a shame that all these bad reviews are solely for the fact her place of business is out of her own residential home. It's 2023 guys and give people a break. She runs the business professionally and just cause it's in her house, shouldn't be a reason to ruin a business's reputation. I got my black suit completely altered/tailored as well as one white dress shirt. Nina knows exactly how to shape out a suit or any piece of clothing to your body type. She makes you feel comfortable to ask any questions and gives her opinions but allows you to pick your alterations. Her place of business is in the basement with a neat waiting couch and a changing room she built herself. It's a great setup and it's everything a tailor would need. She was able to get my suit done in 3 days which is crazy fast. Given I had a lot of alterations to make. Everything from bringing the back of the suit jacket in, shortening the sleeves, hemming my pants and adjusting the waist line. A lot of alterations and Nina did them all perfectly She priced it all reasonably and it felt good to support her and her business. So , don't look negatively on the fact she operates out of her house. The address is correct and her place of business is amongst the several other townhomes on the street. Be kind and support a small business. Nina is wonderful and I'll be sure to use her services for all my tailoring needs.

Nina tailored my wedding dress which was detailed with 3D appliqués and also made me a custom veil…read morewith the appliqués sewed on. I do think she is a skilled tailor but simply does not have the time, energy, or attentiveness to brides for something as special as their wedding wear. I cannot in good faith recommend her to other brides for wedding alterations but think she is better off working in garments that are lower stakes. My biggest complaints are: - She gives you attitude if you push back or have feedback on work she's already done. She is very unwilling to course correct or adjust. - Is not the most respectful of your time. During my bridal appointment, she would allow multiple clients to come in and out during it and other customers would also offer commentary on my dress which I found extremely inappropriate. - Often had to be reminded to do a complete job. Some times the dress wasn't ready or hemmed yet and still had pins which resulted in at least 2 more appointments than necessary. - Lacking attention to detail. I had to clean up a lot of loose ends, fraying, threads, trim excess fabric, remove pencil marks when my final dress was done. I expected better for the price point I paid. - Finally and most egregiously, I asked Nina to sew on appliqué fabric I provided to my veil, both which were custom. She initially sewed the appliqués to the wrong side and said she would correct it by removing and resewing. When I received the final veil, it was beautiful but I noticed that rather than correcting her mistakes, Nina cut the entire veil from the hair comb and resewed it on. I found this to be extremely dishonest and upsetting. She also cut up the fabric I provided and butchered a lot of beautiful details I was hoping to preserve. I found it incredibly misleading of Nina to cut corners and literally cut a perfectly created custom veil rather than owning up and taking the time to correct her mistakes. My dress ended up being fine and wearable ultimately, but it would've been more worth it for me to pay a bit more to have a better experience overall. I do not recommend this business for other brides specifically.

Adelina is the absolute best! Excellence resides in her - she could do no less! I initially met…read moreAdelina a few years back when she repaired swim trunks and a hoodie for my nephew, Matt. You could not even tell the items were repaired - they looked brand new! More recently, Matt needed a suit adjusted - the suit jacket was tight in the shoulder area and across the back so he asked for it to be let out. To our surprise, Adelina shared and demonstrated that the shoulders hung too low and the suit jacked actually needed to be taken in to correct the problem. We were both skeptical because taking in the suit to make it feel looser seemed counter-intuitive to us. Sure enough, upon our return the suit jacket fit perfectly and was very comfortable-the desired goal was met! She knew exactly what needed to be done! She also took in the sleeves on the jacket, raised the jacket hem and took in the pant legs - all of which gave him a much improved fit and look - he's a GQ kind of man now! My nephew who is on the quiet side even expressed how talented and impressed he was with her expertise, knowledge and craftsmanship! She is passionate about her work and it shows! I highly recommend Adelina for all your tailoring needs! Char C. PS. My nephew lives in St. Louis and she accommodated us by opening her shop for us over the Christmas holiday and then opening her shop early one Saturday for the final fitting! She goes above and beyond to meet her clients needs!

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU JUST WANT AN ALTERATION!…read more As soon as I tried on my prom dress, she instantly went ahead and mentioned a few changes that could be made to my dress. Although I only wanted the bottom of my dress to be altered, I still agreed with the changes that could be made to the dress. However I did not agree after when she mentioned the total would be $500 dollars. I had to tell her no on the other changes since I only wanted the bottom to be fixed. She had no problem getting rid of the pins and to only focus on the bottom. But then that's when the service shifted. A few weeks later, I came back to pick up my prom dress and I tried it on. As soon as I put the dress on, she immediately said "I told you" as she points to the top of my dress, suggesting that it should be fixed from the top. I felt completely comfortable with my dress, but as she was making those kinds of comments, it felt like she wanted me to hate my dress. I still said no to the adjustments even though she kept wanting to convince me to. She charged me 130 in the beginning but ended up charging 150 on small changes WHEN I DIDNT ASK FOR IT.

Rita is wonderful to work with and so accommodating with very reasonable pricing. We have a son…read morewith Down syndrome who has a very big waist. So we had to buy a men's large for a traditional Korean hanbok for a family celebration, which meant tailoring the sleeves and pants as well as widening a brocade vest to fit our son comfortably. It fit perfectly and looked so seamless that you didn't really notice the vest extension was made of a completely different fabric. And the fabric was a stiff decorative brocade and had to be doubled, so it was a complicated job. She did it on time and the cost ended up being much lower than I expected. Highly recommend working with Rita for all your elaborate tailoring needs!
