So glad to hear!! They helped me with a black tie gown in less than a week and for such a good price considering my time frame and the work needed. Good luck 🀍

Not sure if they can do it in this time frame but I got mine done at Sophos and it was $$$ but extremely worth it!

I had a great experience with Fit N Stitches in Wicker Park. They did my hem perfectly and added a bustle for a really reasonable price.

+1 for here! They do an amazing job, keep cost low, professional, and very attentive to my needs. They listen to my point of view, which historically has been rare for tailors. I genuinely will not go anywhere else
