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.

I came to the shop on 3 different occasions to handle all alterations, bustle, and final pick up. They accept multiple forms of payment and only service one bride at a time for an intimate experience. Their alterations services came at a premium but their craftsmanship, hospitality, and final steaming services were unmatched. My dress fit me exactly how I had hoped for. The length was perfect, I felt very secure and covered, and my waist was well defined. Aynur was great about thoroughly explaining the three recommended bustle types she recommended. I chose the Bubble Bustle which meant my train was tied up under the dress. She thoroughly explained that my train would attract dirt lines but I loved the way it looked throughout the night!
