    What a fantastic result! I'm 5'7" with a long torso and short legs, so my dresses are always long. I brought a dress in that I'm going to wear to my nephew's wedding so I want it to be perfect for the day. I had it shortened (to the ankles) and it has a tulle overlay and material underneath with is a hassle to get the best results and I needed the bust closed up a little. Greatly priced too as I'm quite frugal. I could not have asked for a better job done. She doesn't have 5 stars for nothing! I'll be sure to bring any and all things that I need altered.....I also live in the downtown area of chicago, so this is a little trip to me to get to, but totally worth it.

    To make a long story short I cannot say enough good things: kind, efficient, and great pricing for the timeframe. But if you're interested in the details here they are: I had put off getting my bridesmaid dress altered for far too long because I was convinced nothing could be done to help salvage it. The silhouette simply didn't work on my figure, I didn't feel supported, and it had arrived too close to the wedding to exchange it for another option (the bride let us pick our dresses as long as they were in the correct color). It was now a week before the wedding and I was panicking - enter Yelp. I searched for Tailors near me and Nura's popped up so I reached out via message to see if what I needed was even possible and if they could fit me in that same day. The response was prompt and we made an appointment for later that afternoon. When I arrived I honestly didn't know what I wanted. I knew I needed it hemmed and I knew I hated where the bust line hit but I didn't think lowering it was possible. I also needed to make sure the straps held everything in place without cutting off my circulation. Nura was so patient with me and walked me through all my options. We decided on taking fabric from the hem to make a belt and create a new waistline. She assured me it would be ready that Thursday (3 days later!!!!) before I had to leave. Thursday came and I went to pick up the dress, I was hopeful but cautious since I felt I was asking for a lot. Well. I shouldn't have worried AT ALL because the dress came out better than I could have hoped. It looked like it had been made that way all along, for me so perfectly, and was still nice and comfortable. Nura literally redid the entire zipper to ensure everything was seamless and where it should be given the new silhouette and I wore it all day long from photos to the after part with absolutely zero issues. Safe to say I'll be coming here for all my tailoring needs from now on!!

    Excellent service! I needed a quick hem on some expensive jeans and it was done in less than an hour. I was able to have them measure the hem, head to the post office and home depot, then return and pick up the jeans and try them on.

    I took a sequin gown in to have a slit added. They did a fantastic job with a two-day turnaround and at a totally reasonable price.

    Very professional and straightforward and charged me less than half what the dry cleaners in my neighborhood quoted me.

    My go to dry cleaners in the area. I've been to 4 different ones…read more Reasonably priced and they do a great job. This time I brought our big down comforter to get cleaned. It cost $20. Staff here is super friendly. I like this location because it's open on Sundays until 2 pm. Parking is a little tricky because they don't have their own lot. I aimed for the little strip mall next door.

    WARNING: IRRESPONSIBLE & DESTRUCTIVE…read more You should consider ANY other dry cleaner unless you surely worry little about losing any of your garments! This shop claims to have the most advanced garment knowledge and to care deeply for its customers' property, but none of the customer service I have received represents this! I brought a dress from Bottega Veneta on April 30th with a small blood stain that I could feasibly remove myself, but this dress was a special part of my wardrobe, and I expected CD Cleaners to handle the order just fine. I was SORELY mistaken about their ability, as not only did they leave my dress unclean when I received it, but they also PUNCTURED a hole in the shoulder AND pulled out the metal front closures. The dress is unwearable, and they refuse to return it to me now! I immediately returned to the shop to ask for help and the woman working felt the need to tug and rip the hole of the dress deeper to 'show me' that they would not be able to repair it. I am utterly baffled why she kept pulling yarns of the hole, and her tone felt facetious instead of helpful. I asked them, practically begging to know if they had found the metal closure pieces so they could attempt re-screwing them into the dress. After telling me that the pieces aren't available at Amazon, I had to explain that the dress retailed $3000 and that the closures were definitely unique. They continued to tell me there was nothing they could do and after I explained that the resell price ranges around the 55% range of the original MSRP, they have told me to 'wait for them to contact' with a solution after they speak with their manager. It has been over THREE WEEKS and I have not received a call, nor will they give me their manager's information. The staff continues to avoid telling me when the manager will be in, and comment extremely rudely about me in Spanish ("l**a m**rda con el vestido verde'). The loss of my favorite dress will go to small claims court here in Chicago, but I implore you to simply look elsewhere as none of the professionalism required for a dry-cleaner with such 'heritage' as CD Cleaners exists to ensure your clothing stays safe or ACTUALLY CLEAN!

    Shirt came back with a big brown water stain on it, which was not there when it was sent in. Went…read moreback and showed it to them looking for resolution, but not angry, but walked out angry because of the attitude. The guy kept repeating how he couldn't trust what I was saying like it was a he said/she said between me and the actual company doing the cleaning. 1) Your business is the front facing establishment I am doing business with - this is your responsibility. 2) he sent it back for free, which I was fine with - why the attitude? He made me mad, but it was unnecessary given we had a next step. When I went back to get it, it was almost all out, and he said he would send it back again, but again, it was the attitude. "This is the last time I will send it back for free" like it was my fault it happened - and at that point I'd already made up my mind I wasn't coming back regardless because of how he treats his customers. My husband went to pick up the shirt (it was his) and it was actually all out, but they started telling him how the stain wasn't pointed out the first time and he said that's because it wasn't there when it was brought here. They argued with him saying it was red sauce (no, it wasn't) and then another guy from the back came out swearing at him telling him he was a scam artist. We had arrived at a pretty easy solution, but they upped the tension each time to really piss us off with their attitude. Just be more customer focused!!

    They claim to have same day service...in by 9 out by 5. It's not true…read more I drove over there to have 6 shirts dry cleaned and was told it would take 2 days. Also, the shop is filthy.
