    After alterations. Such a good job, you can't tell they were altered!
    Julia S.

    Oh the hesitation and angst when you need alterations done to a new clothing item and don't have a go-to seamstress/tailor. I researched so many places and read the reviews carefully. I was prepared to go to the other side of town if need be... Thankfully, Yelp came through as always and sent me to LuLu. Lulu is very hard to reach via phone so I decided to just drop by with fingers crossed. Thankfully she was there and so was her mom. It appears they are a family run business. The store is jam packed with clothing that has been or needs to be altered. Which is a good sign in my opinion, meaning they surely must be good to have so much business. I had a few pair of jeans needing to be hemmed with the original hem and lulu did not disappoint! You can't tell they've been altered at all! Such a master of her trade. If I need anything else altered, lulu will be who I go to in Pittsburgh!

    We were in pursuit of a simple pant leg alteration. Lulu is super sweet and clearly highly in demand (especially for re weaving and re knitting items). It appears she does most of reweaving and her mom helps out with more simple alterations and such. Pants were hemmed well and it was good work. We have already gone back with another clothing repair. I would fully trust Lulu and her shop with any alteration we would need in the future. She is located on the 5the floor of the Investment Building.

    The bust of the shalwar was too small and the arms were a bit tight. After Lulu worked her magic it was a perfect fit.

    This is the best tailor in Pittsburgh! After receiving the wrong size Shalwar I needed it refitted for a wedding. I searched and searched for a great tailor in the Pittsburgh area and Lulu came highly recommended. When I visited her store it was jammed packed with clothing that was ready for pick up or orders waiting to be seen. I instantly felt my second wave of relief knowing that so many people trust their garments in her hands. Lulu was able to resize my dress in one day! It fit like a glove afterwards. Lulu and her mother (it's a family run business) are so friendly. Lulu will take the time to explain the process to you so you can leave with zero questions. Overall working with her is super easy. Her quotes are very agreeable too. It cost me $40 to resize the dress. Thank you so much Lulu! Some tips I have are to bypass the phone and just visit in person with the garment you need mended. She'll give you a full consultation and quote. If you've never had to have a dress resized here are the steps: 1. You'll put on the garment. 2. The tailor will take your measurements and place markers (pins) where changes need to be made. 3. They will measure the seams to determine how much they can take in or out. 4. You can then discuss with them how loose or tight you want the fit. 5. Take off the garment, discuss the pick up date, and the tailor will give you a quote. That's it all that left is to pick it up when it's ready.

    Wool coat before

    I found Lulu's after looking online and I'm so glad I did. I had a hole in the elbow of my wool coat that needed repaired. She did an EXCELLENT job repairing the hole as you can see from the before and after photos. The repair cost $80 and took one week. To preserve my coat, it was well worth it. She was also kind and respectful. I highly recommend Lulu's shop.

    I took my husband's suit jacket here on August 10 to have a very small hole on the sleeve repaired. See "before" photo. Lulu quoted $60 and said it would take 3-4 weeks. I paid a $40 deposit. Four weeks came and went, and I checked in a few times. She said it would be ready soon. I went in at the beginning of November (3 MONTHS later) and she finally admitted that she had lost the jacket, but had just found it. She said it would be ready in the next 1-3 days. It was not. I then had to make a special trip downtown on a Saturday to pick it up before she left the country for 10 days. She initially told me to come at noon, then, at 11:44 am, changed the time to 2:00 pm. It was obviously a rush job that day, as you can tell from 2 of the 4 corners in the "after" picture. And she still charged me the remaining $20! I don't know if there are any other reweavers in the area, but if there are, I suggest looking into them.
