It's so hard to find a good dry cleaner and tailor that's reasonable these days. This is why I'm glad I live close to Orlan's in Chelsea. It really is a Chelsea hidden gem. I had a pocket fixed in a pea coat I love. I knew this was going to be a difficult job because the entire pocket would have to be replaced, and you had to do it without taking the lining off. She said it would be a week, which is fine since I knew this was going to be a hard fix. But when I picked up the jacket, the replaced pocket was wonderfully done. The material she chose was even better than the original pocket. I was extremely happy and impressed. I love this jacket and I was upset when the pocket ripped. Oh and the price? 30 bucks. Still not bad for something that took a few hours to fix. And still cheaper than a new pea coat. I've also used the dry cleaning service many, many times, along with having suits altered there. I've never had a problem and the prices are extremely reasonable. The ladies who work the counter are always so friendly. It really is a Chelsea gem. So if you're in Chelsea and need a dry cleaner or a tailor, do not hesitate and just go to Orlan's. You won't regret it. read more

I have been a customer of Orlans for a little over a year now and I am alway greeted warmly, items done when they say they shall be and I am always happy with the quality of their work. I have had various items tailored (bridesmaid dresses/jeans/tops) and some even completely altered to fit a specific vision of mine. I cannot recommend their services enough! read more

Orlan's quality of service has been amazing each time I've come in. The woman running this shop is incredibly sweet, professional and was able to immediately spot the best length for each of my pants I brought in. My wife even trusted her to do the tailoring in for her wedding dress and was blown away by how good of a job she did. We will be coming here for years! read more

I love this place the woman who runs it is the sweetest and very very talented. I had her hem a delicate silk skirt. You would never know she did it it was so perfect. Recently I had her add a hole with a zipper to a waxed tablecloth so I could use it on a patio table. It came out perfectly. I love this shop and even though I moved a couple of towns over I still come back to her. read more

See all

Stole my dress. Brought it in to be altered for best friend's wedding. They took my measurements and understood my instructions. The day I went to pick it up, they played dumb. Just wow. read more

I called in and asked if I could get a pair of jeans altered and adalina (I believe I remember correctly) had it done in a few hours she was so sweet over the phone and even more in person. My jeans fit me perfectly!! Muchas gracias read more

Best in all of Boston!! so kind, timely, trustworthy, affordable and great quality. Won't go anywhere else!

I love the little lady who does all the hard work to make all my cloths don't have holes. But there are times when I go to pick up my cloths and it's not ready yet. I know she's just one person but if you say it's gonna be done and I go and I waste my time out of my day that's just bad service read more

I got my bridesmaids dress hemmed and added an accent belt to it. The ladies did a wonderful job. I also get my dry cleaning done here regularly, they are friendly and always have my stuff ready by the pick up date they quote you. Definitely recommend read more

Had a dress shortened and other pieces dry cleaned and it was very reasonably priced, great quality work and quick! Highly recommend.

I got these straight leg mom jeans that I ordered online, one faux green leather pants, and two white and black pants that were too long. I found this place online and decided to come here to fix all of my pants. The mom jean gave me a gap in the back and was too long. It also needed to be fixed in the thigh area as it was too wide and slouchy for my liking. The other three pants were just too long, but they fit me good from my waist. I was so nervous that the mom jean was not going to come out nice because that jean was not stretchy jean material and was hard. I was also nervous about the green faux leather pants looking awful because of the material. Within a week I was called to pick up all my pants and let me tell you they look AMAZING! I tried them on before leaving and I was very impressed. The jean looks so perfect as if she never touched it! It fit me perfectly from my waist, no back gap, thigh area was fixed, and it wasn't long anymore just perfect! The green faux leather pants look amazing as well. I bought all these pants with me on vacation and my girls could not stop complimenting me. I also referred my mom to come here to get her dress altered for a high school graduation. She did not disappoint my mother either. Can't wait to come back to alter more of my clothes! read more

This place has always done a good or better job on anything we have brought them. I never complain about the pricing, because repairs are so much cheaper than replacement read more

Orlan's does great work! My bridesmaid dress and jeans were hemmed perfectly. They are efficient and reasonably priced.

Such a lovely sisters!! Amazing work and super friendly! I had to pickup my pants but i thought to take my another pants that had a quick work to do... I wasn't expecting her to fix it for me while waiting there but she happily accepted to do it while im waiting there... you guys rock!!! I will def be back. read more

I highly recommend Orlan's: the work is great, the prices are reasonable, and the owners are friendly. Recently I had a dress altered -- I wanted the neckline taken down a bit, but when I bought the dress the zipper was stuck, so I couldn't try it on for the alteration. When I picked it up, the zipper had been un-stuck, the lining repaired, the neckline lowered two inches, and it looked brand-new. read more

Orlan did a fantastic job sewing patches on sweatshirts and shorts for me. I brought him 60 items which he completed in only 3 days! He was very particular and ensured that the patches were exactly where I wanted them placed on the garments. He even steamed everything so that when I picked them up they were freshly pressed! I will absolutely be going back for similar projects or other tailoring needs. read more

Orlan's Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Chelsea, Massachusetts

Tucked away in Chelsea is this little tailoring and dry cleaning shop. The husband and wife owners are very nice and, from my experience, very good at what they do -- and for a very reasonable price. Aside from hemming various pants and even shirts for me, I also needed the waist taken in on a pair of jeans. As she was marking the waist she asked if I wanted the legs tapered, too. I hadn't even thought to ask if that could be done. It was a great suggestion. The result? Custom jeans! Then I wondered if they could rescue a light coat. Even though I bought it in 1998 (yes, 1998), I still liked the design and the outer material was in fine shape, but the lining looked like it had been a play-thing for lions (I probably shouldn't admit the condition it was in; I was in denial!). So I dropped it off and, voila, a couple of weeks later I had a like-new coat. In fact, the lining looks store bought -- complete with the designer label and "dry clean only" tag [see pic]. It actually might be nicer than the original. Nice enough, in fact, that I don't think I would have minded if Mr. Orlan had kicked the Bill Blass label to the curb and sewn his own in its place. :-) read more

Orlan's Tailoring - Brand new lining -- and yet the designer label & "dry clean only" tag are intact. A nice surprise! Nice new pockets, too! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Chelsea, Massachusetts

I initially went to these folks because they are in my town and because there was a review on here about a very successful wedding-dress alteration. I bought a used wedding dress and needed it altered- the top taken in, the neckline lowered, and pockets added on the side seams. They did a great job with the pockets, and an ok job taking in the bodice. I never got to meet Orlan himself- I met his wife and son. He works in their Dorchester store. I hoped that if I could speak with him in person and try the dress on with him there, I would be able to explain what I needed done. Unfortunately, he was never there, although I called ahead several times to ask if he would be. Must have been lost in translation. Basically, they told me this was as far as they could go with the dress. I wish I had left the moment they told me the neckline could not be lowered. I found a wonderful woman in Revere who does alterations and she was able to lower it no problem, and take in the bodice adequately so I wasn't swimming in it. My takeaway- this is probably a great place to go for basic alterations- hems being taken up or let down, etc. But if you have something more complex, and you are hoping to deal face to face with the person doing the actual work, then I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. read more

Thanks to the fantastic reviews I came here and got excellent and fast service. Had my husband's (very dirty) suit , shirt and tie cleaned and also a bridesmaid's dress needing to be altered asap done here a month ago. The lady at the front was so very nice and accommodating to our schedule. I will say their prices have changed a bit but I can understand why - their quality is great and I have decided I will not be going anywhere else. Other places near me are either rude or quality isn't great. AND Orlan's takes other forms of payment other than cash. A win! read more

They were quick, nice and clean. It was ready for pick up a little bit before than I expected. Super happy with the service.

My #1 go-to for dry cleaning and alterations. Friendly people who do great quality work at a fair price. Not always easy to find these days.

Orlan's Tailoring: 9 Everett Ave. Chelsea, MA 02150 Nope, never going back to that place again. With all of the positive reviews I felt confident there would be not problems with bringing a three piece suit and a matching white button up dress shirt to them. Boy was I wrong. The Drop Off: The mother was sizing me up and all the garments but she didn't speak English well. So I told her daughter what I wanted in English (I do not speak Spanish) and her daughter relayed it to her mother in Spanish. The receipt's (I received two at the drop off), showed each request was charged and billed properly and counting her tip too. All needed to be paid up front. The Pickup: When I was picking up the suit, I thought I was going to get a chance to try it on in their one booth. Nope.They where busy and I was rushed out. The Inspection: Just got back into my flat (Orlan's is closed now) and the first thing I noticed, they stapled my nice suit bag with another receipt (this is a really nice suit bag, not the cheap type). Okay, whatever, then as I am taking the staples of the suit bag I notice four rather big holes in the bag and a scuffed up area all at the back of the shoulder on the left side of the bag. First thing pops to mind, "Oh dear, now I am going to check out everything thoroughly". I paid $131 up front for, 1) the jacket to have the sleeves shortened and dry cleaned, 2) to have the white button up dress shirt to also have the sleeves shortened and then dry cleaned, 3) to have the paints legs shortened, hemmed, tapered and dry cleaned and 4) to fix a long loose thread on the vest (Near a button, you can't miss it, the thread sticks out like a sore thumb) and then dry cleaned. What I got, 1) a dry cleaned jacket with uneven sleeves. The left sleeve was never touched. The right sleeve was touched and now it is around 3/4" to 1" shorter but it is still not sized correctly and also still too long. 2) The vest was dry cleaned but she never touched the long thread by the button that she charged me $5 to fix. 3) The white button up dress shirt was dry cleaned but she never shortened the sleeves and they are still too long. 4) The dress pants were dry cleaned and yes, she did shorten, tapper and hem them. It is Friday evening and it is the weekend. I need my suit Monday morning and they had it for a week already. Yeah, I am pretty much screwed. Horrible service, no two ways about it. I am never going to chance it with this place again. Orlan's Tailoring: 9 Everett Ave. Chelsea, MA 02150 read more

Very reliable and affordable place for any cleaning/alteration needs. I have been using their services on weekly basis for the last few years. My shirts are always coming back clean, pressed and crisp.Family owned business. The owner is very polite and professional; knows her stuff. Highly recommend. read more

Orlan's Tailoring - My go to place for dry cleaning and alterations. Affordable and always delivers great results in a timely manner. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Chelsea, Massachusetts

I usually go to a tailor in Medford, but since I moved, Orlan's was closer to my home. I went to have my suit sleeves taken in and. Pants hemmed and tapered. I had no issues dropping my suit off, and the ladies were very nice. On my day of pickup, I was in a rush to get home before the evening rush started and so I just paid for the alterations and went home without trying the pants on. When I got the chance to put my pants on, it was 3 inches too long! It wasn't hemmed to the proper length that the lady had marked and pinned. Also, the pants weren't tapered at all either. Now I feel dumb for leaving a tip! Do yourself a favor and consider one of the many other great establishments to get your clothes tailored. As nice as everyone is, this place doesn't seem to pay close attention to details which are very important. Go somewhere that will do what you ask and pay for. read more

This is a great find in my little neighborhood of Chelsea. The woman who does the work is sweet as can be and her son helps out with running the shop. I took 4 pairs of (expensive!!!) jeans to be hemmed and she did a perfect new hem on all of them. Can't even tell they were hemmed at all. I also took a dress that an uneven hemline that's just not my style and I asked her to just make it even all the way around. You'd never know and I'm pretty sure she did a better hem than the original. She also repaired a blouse and completely rebuttoned it after a drycleaner ripped off the original buttons and properly secured buttons on my favorite raincoat. All of this was under $70 and I feel like I have new wardrobe. I will definitely keep her mind the next time I find something shopping that's just a wee bit big. read more

The best tailors hands down! The wife and husband own the two shops!I have a very detailed, complicated (lots of lace and pearls) wedding dress that was big on me. They fit it to a T! In super fast timing. A lot of missing pearls were replaced. In order to hem the bottom the lace had to be taken off and be stitched back on! Very, very reasonable pricing for the job I needed done. So glad I found them and now I have the perfect wedding dress. read more

The team at Orlan's is great. I find them to be very friendly, professional & committed to customer satisfaction. They do high quality work. I love giving them my business. read more

This review is late in the making but today, I was telling my husband, who needs a tailor, what an amazing job Orlan did with my faux leather pants that I had altered, last year or so. I was going to throw them away but Orlans was suggested by a friend, "...if anyone can fix them, they can" I was happy to get one more wear out of them...I've had a few already! When I looked at the job they did, I realized I had to leave a review. I do live in Chelsea, but if I didn't I'd certainly make the trip over the bridge! read more

Reliable. Professional. Reasonably priced. Good work with alterations in a timely fashion.

I go to Sastreria Orlan without fail for all of my tailoring and dry cleaning, even though I don't live in Chelsea. Their prices are very reasonable, and the woman who works at the Chelsea location is incredibly sweet and kind. Also, everything I send to them always comes back great. There's no reason I would ever go anywhere else! read more

I took a bridesmaid dress to be hemmed and have the zipper replaced. They did a fabulous job for a reasonable price and the turnaround was quick as well. Additionally, everyone that worked there was tremendously kind. Absolutely would recommend! read more

They did alteration and dry cleaning on my wedding dress, they did an amazing job. They were very professional, both owners worked on my dress. And it came out amazing. They also worked on my father's suit and my sister's dress under short notice and still gave 100% on their work. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

They're a small family owned business which I think adds to their ability to pay close attention to detail. I brought in a wedding dress 3 weeks before my wedding and they were able to fit it perfectly to me within 2 weeks. They're so sweet and so skilled at their craft. Perfect is honestly the only word I can think to use. I couldn't be happier. read more

Great experience here! Needed my pants to be hemmed today and called in and she said yes! So I dropped off the pants and she had it ready in under two hours! She is super nice and would not hesitate to go again! read more

I go to the Chelsea location and they are great. I've used them for dry cleaning and alterations. The work is great and fast.

Good quality services and prices are reasonable. I have become a regular customer and have recommend this to my friends.

Had a great experience here! She is such a sweetie and had my bridesmaid dress altered in under a week! Fits great, you can't even tell where she cut and changed things, and she only charged me $60 to get my dress shortened and taken in at the bust (which last summer at a different location I had similar alterations done for a different dress and it cost me $98 before tip). I will definitely be back to support this local shop! read more

I brought my shirts and slacks here for a long time I moved. They are very careful with your clothes. The prices are reasonable. You can take your stuff here and not worry about it while they dry clean it. The reason you don't have to worry about it is because they are very careful. I would still be bringing my clothes here and picking them up later except I ain't live there no more. read more

I brought a bridesmaid dress here to be altered and they did a beautiful job. The shop owner was kind and courteous. Highly recommended!!!

They never overcharge and always do a great job with anything I ask, whether it be dry cleaning, alterations or even sewing missing buttons and rips in my clothes. They are very nice too, so one year later this is still my go to pla read more
