READ THIS REVIEW SHE IS THE BEST – The best tailors in chicago, no lie!!! its as if i bought my suit at her shop. WOW work, VERY friendly, GREAT prices. you cant beat that with a stick!!! I highly recommend anyone to go there. She has been in business for 47 years, quality work that cant be beat. Agian, she did a better job as opposed to the manfacturer themselves. trust me on this one. It was hard to find someone that can do the job she did. i am always always always going there for any alterations. WOW!

Plus Size Custom Formal Gowns – I am a plus size woman and just had a gown made for performances (I'm an opera singer and recitalist). The fit was georgeous. The staff was quite careful with making sure that the dress did fit me comfortably while not fitting the dress too loose or too tight. They advised me of the materials and the style necessary to make sure that I looked my best as I gave them many pictures to consider (they made sure that of the choices given I selected the best dress for my figure and general style). Th... read more

Incredible detail – I ordered some custom designed stockings for my family and what I got was the most beautifully detailed, incredibly crafted stockings. They were beyond what I imagined. Sew Special Tailors was personal and professional throughout the process, consulting with me all along the way. I very highly recommend them to anyone with even the most difficult of requests, you will not be disappointed with Sew Special Tailors.

Highly Recommed – I went to Sew Special in a desperate situation. I had ordered a bridesmaid dress fand a month before the wedding I learned the designer went bankrupt and I was not getting a dress. Without a pattern or even a picture of the dress I needed I went to Sew Special. I found them on the internet and only had the online reviews as recommendations. At first I was a little skeptical and nervous but they assured me they could make me a dress in 3 weeks. I explained to Mike what I wanted to the dress to look like. He ... read more

Sew Special - Great alterations and dry cleaning – The quality of service is fantastic. Mike, the owner, personally does all of my fittings b/c some of my alterations tend to be a bit complicated. I am always extremely happy with the alterations and if a piece happens not to be "just right" they will gladly re-alter at no charge. Their customer service is very good and they are timely is their dry cleaning and alteration turn around time. I moved out of state and when I moved back I tried a few different tailors/dry cleaners... read more

Be CAREFUL! Good quality, but some dishonesty – so i was recommended this place by a very trusted friend. i took a dress there that i needed altered. although i agree with some of the other reviews that the "dressing area" has some privacy issues, it's not any different that the tailor that i've used in the gold coast. that part, in my opinion, isn't worth giving them a poor review over. the reason that they are getting this poor review is not because they did a sub-par job on altering my dress. it's because they charged me ... read more
