La Mode Cleaners & Tailors

Needed a suit tailored for an important meeting. Told them I needed it by a certain date and time. When I went in to collect the suit it wasn’t done. No tailor in the shop and the woman that helped me was nowhere to be found.

Went in to get a button resewed. The tailor took my Boss jacket and threw it on his work table in anger and disgust. Unbelievable rude behavior. Beware!

Best dry cleaners in this town.
They do the great alteration on premises. They did awesome work on my jackets and dresses, they fitted me perfectly after. I don’t usually write reviews but I was amazed how did they turn my dresses way I wanted to be.
Keep up the good work guys.

I went here to get my dress altered which they did a fine job with. But the manner in which they dealt with me was off-​putting. They wanted to know why I was spending money altering a dress that looked «cheap.» Why is that even their business? Do you want my money or not? Because of that interaction, I have been looking for a different place for my alterations.

I had to get a bridesmaids dress altered in two days and they did it! A little pricey but they got the job done!

Firstly, the proprietor doesn’t care at all for business after I asked to have a pick up and he asked that I call another company to use. Also, any hand wash items are never treated at such and everything is pulled into one wash and nothing is treated as properly washed. At first, I thought this was a good wash, but not I realize that it is just another wash and no care is taken at all. I would not recommend anywhere that is as careless to shrink items and be uncaring in pick up times.

I hate to write a negative review, but this is my second time using this tailor, and it was the worst experience I’ve had with alterations– bar none. The first time was a few months back. My fiancée had several pair of nice slacks he wanted shortened. Seems simple? He was totally dissatisfied with the stitching and quality of the work. Flash forward a few months and the zipper pulled out partially from a very expensive leather jacket I’d given to my fiancée for Christmas. Despite the prior experience, I had seen all the positive reviews, and decided to try them again. HUGE mistake.
The tailor stitched the zipper back shoddily, with white thread when all the rest of the stitching was brown. When I pointed it out he basically shrugged and said if I had wanted matching thread it would have been a special order. WHAT?
I don’t know why anyone uses them for cleaning, because they generally seem surly, but I would NEVER use them for alterations for clothing you care even a little about.

My review is soley for their dry cleaning as I have not used their tailor. This place is in my neighborhood so it’s easy. However, I continue to pick up sweaters (mostly cashmere) that look like they haven’t been touched. They come back all pilly and slightly wrinkled. I could wash them in woolite for much less… Not going back anymore.

I got some Banana republic suit pants tailored here from a «straight» (although BP straight is really more like a boot cut or flare) to a tapered leg. Shek (sp?) was awesome. It was my first experience with a tailor so I did no specify how much I wanted the leg to taper in, but Shek was great and redid the pants after I told him I wanted it to go narrower after trying it on. I am very happy with the final result. 5 Stars!

I brought a dress here for alterations, was quoted a high price but decided to go with it because the guy seemed like he knew what he was doing. The alterations were shabby and unprofessional. The tailor even put several holes in the dress! He ended up taking $ 20 off the price, but still! Holes! Also, he is hard to communicate with.

I went to this place because it was highly rated, however, I have no idea how they received such high rating. I used them twice, for dry cleaning suits and shirts as well as wash and press. The price was a bit higher than other places, the service was not very good, but my main issue is with the the fact that once I inspected everything at home, I saw that the pants had wrinkles, and the collars on the shirts still dirty.

Horribly disappointed in the tailor here. I read good Unilocal reviews when I was searching for a good tailor to fix my dress for a big event. I needed both strap shortened on a wrap dress where the straps were inches too long. The tailor used safety pins to measure the amount and it looked fine. I came to pick it up and the dress is more of a tunic top now — so short! Dress was completely RUINED. He changed the whole shape of the dress by cutting too much and changing the draping of it incorrectly. I told the tailor and the manager the dress was ruined and all the tailor said was he shortened the strap, he’s not responsible for the hemline going up too far and my underwear basically being on display now at the slightest movement. He saw no problem and even said that it’s fine to wear to my event. Even worse, I still had to pay. I negotiated to pay half, but that’s now a dress I can never wear again. I should have been offered to fix the dress, get reimbursed for the dressed, or charged nothing. AVOID THIS TAILOR at all cost. So upset!

I took a vest here to be taken in. They did an awesome job! 5 stars for the quality of the alteration. 1 star for the price. $ 45! Waaaay to expensive if you ask me. In hindsight I wouldn’t have paid that. But I was very happy with what I got. So why 3 stars? I also took my laundry there for the wash and fold service. When I got it back it was just meh, everything was so wrinkled, like it had sat in the dryer for hours before being folded. The whites were so dingy and the collars around my shirts were still dirty. They didn’t smell clean, almost like they didn’t use soap. And the clothes were so full of static I was getting shocked after folding each one. I will not be using them again for wash and fold. If money was no object I would go back for alterations though.

I have been using La Mode for about four months now and have been very happy. They are reasonably priced and typically return my shirts in 2 – 3 days.

I had gained a few pounds after my wedding, and needed to adjust my pants, enlarging the waist a little. The pants had been previously shrunk when I bought them, so there was enough fabric inside to do the job. Still, this was my wedding suit so I didn’t want to ruin it. I chose La Mode based on the previous reviews. Dropped my pants Tuesday evening. The tailor made me try my pants and did a little mark on them with chalk (process took like 10 seconds). They told me they would be ready by Thursday 5pm. I think the price was around 15 dollars. I got them Friday 7am, checked them at the store and seemed ok. Tried them back at home, and they were perfect. Even my wife thought they were perfect. Priceless!
Good job!

Brought some skirts here to be taken in after losing weight — and the seams are not symmetrical! Meaning, they don’t run down either leg any more — there is one on the right leg and the left side is now 2 inches closer to the front… clearly they only took in one of the two sides instead of taking in each side half way. I DEFINITELY will not be back if they can’t do something this simple.

Took my pants here to get altered after losing weight and not being able to bear throwing so much designer clothes away. As other people have reviewed, the tailoring is expensive but well worth it if you have high end items needing alterations.

I had clothes picked up – about 8 items — when I called for delivery later they said that they did not have anything on record, when I insisted and asked to look through the clothes (as mistakes can be made), they said no, that they don’t make mistakes and hung up. I went to the shop, and found my clothes assigned in someone else’s name — no apology.
My boyfriend later took clothes there (thinking the owners had changed), a skirt was lost — –they said they would give me compensation but instead just charged my card for the cleaning the lost item.
Untrustworthy.

After all the great reviews I read, I brought some jeans here to be hemmed. Price was $ 6 or $ 24 if I wanted the «original hem.» Seems to me a silly question, of course I want the original hem! So I paid the $ 24.
Jeans weren’t ready for an entire week (does it really take that long to hem jeans?), and I am quite disappointed. So much for the original hem, it’s maybe only half the size of the initial hem, definitely looks tailored.
The length is spot on, but it still kind of ruins the jeans to have them look hemmed at the bottom. I probably won’t be back.

I’m pretty sure I would have rated La Mode 5 stars regardless — their work is high quality– but the unperturbed calm with which they handled my really bad decision to have my bridesmaid dress re-​altered the day before a wedding certainly didn’t hurt.
It was a typical bridesmaid’s story: Go to bridesmaid’s store to get measured for dress. Be told you’ll need a size huge. Cry about it. Receive size huge dress and realize it’s actually several sizes too big. Be a little happy but mostly pissed that you now have to get this thing SERIOUSLY altered. Go to La Mode:
The tailor calmly and efficiently pinned (and pinned and pinned) and by the time he finished I could actually feel fabric close enough to touch my skin again. When I got the dress back it fit beautifully.
And then the bad decision making began. The dress was one of those structured mermaid style full length dresses and while La Mode’s work was tasteful it turned out the bride had been picturing more of a skin tight fit through the bodice. I told them this the DAY before the wedding and they were utterly gracious, re-​tailored the bodice overnight, and didn’t charge me as they counted it as a redo.
The dress was much flashier with the tight bodice but actually looked pretty fantastic. I’ve never felt so curvy in my life!
So thank you La Mode. Standing Ovation.
