Express Alterations

My angel! Literally the SAME DAY I was flying out to be in a wedding, I had MAJOR dress malfunctions. Had to redo the zipper area, and alter all three of the layers on my bridesmaid dress. I gave them only 2 hours to help me… and they did!!! For only $ 50 I was able to have my dress ready to go and on the plane.
So happy and will be back

I could always depend on getting whatever garment fixed or even saved. When in a hurry, they would bend over backwards to get it done. Sad I had to moved away!

I was in downtown D town for a wedding and I forgot my suit pants had a rip in a seam the day before the wedding.
Express Alterations saved the day by stitching everything like new in a few moments while I waited in the store.
I was expecting to spend the entire day hunting around for a alteration place that would take care of it, instead everything was taken care of in 3 minutes and I was on my way.
I wish I could find a alterations store this amazing back home.
Just another happy customer.

She’s great when she’s there but she’s always closed.

the prices are fair. She does a great job and I got my dress and a few other items back in a few days. However, accepts cash only! Thanks, returning customer!

Just brought her a pair of pants that a button came off and she fixed them in two minutes free of charge. I have taken other items to fix to her and she always does a great job at a great price. I will only take clothing to her to fix or alter.

Great job! I had her sew a bra into a cocktail dress — beautiful workmanship
and the dress looks and feels great! I’ll be back…

Wonderful! Love how quickly everything can be done with quality. Found my new alterations location!

My tulip skirt needed a new zipper, so I brought it here after going into Unilocaly research mode. I have to say, I am NOT disappointed. She did great work – the skirt’s now outfitted with a stronger and better zipper than it had originally (with a better sewing job to boot!).
Turnaround was only a week, though she asks when you’ll need it so I’m certain she can accommodate rush jobs. Service is very quick and courteous. I will be back!

I agree with Alfred K. If you need alterations to men’s suits she is expert, accommodates your scheduling needs and the price is good. In and out quickly. She knows what would look good alteration-​wise if you ask her advice. I go out of my way to come to her and have been for more than ten years.

Terrible work. Na attention to details. I took 3 lab coats to get their pockets changed to a larger size. I took a lab coat that already has the pockets i want and I told her I want the exact same shape and size. After 1 week, she got the pockets either larger or smaller than what I want. No 2 pockets were the same size or shape. Terrible job, which should be theoretically easy.

I’m so glad someone already reviewed this place! I have the same problem with names, but I did take her business card today and her name is Samira.
I can’t count the number of pants I’ve brought here for alteration! It’s half the price of what Nordstrom would charge you for alteration, and the job is so incredibly well done. B has also taken shirts and sweaters here for tailoring and fixing, and you know Samira is an expert when she can tell exactly what he wants changed just by taking 1 look at how the shirt hang on him.
I’ve been to this store… oh I don’t know… probably some 30 times in the past few years, and I’ve never been in the store for more than 5 minutes. She is just THAT efficient. I’ve also never exchanged more than 5 sentences with Samira, but that’s exactly what I love about her too. No nonsense — just a honest, dependable tailor with expert skills. Highly recommended.
Cash or check only.

I am horrible with names and have cleaned out my purse since I moved to Chicago. I’m pretty sure it’s owner run and she’s quick, efficient and affordable. Nice little place.
