Best place for same finish on Jeans

by stevie03 at Citysearch

Tailor's Touch on Oak St, is the best place to get your jeans altered. I have all my jeans done with the original bottoms. I can't find a place that can alter them as well as they can. Forget about taking your jeans to your local dry cleaner, they'll hack them up. Don't waste your time or money. Go to Raymond @ Tailor's Touch he's the best tailor. Spend the money get it done right.

• Pros: Same day service Great work
• Cons: Pricey

Poor, untimely service, and terrible workmanship

by AMAP at Citysearch

I have taken 10+ items to Tailor's Touch in the past year. A brand new dress for a special occasion was one. They pinned me and we made a date for pick (the night of the event). I came to pick up my dress and they were still not finished (this happened on 2 separate occasions as well!!). When it was ready it was cutting into me, very worried I asked them how long it would take to fix and they said 20 mins. 45 mins later I did not try the dress on and left to go to my event. Needless to say they did a botch job on my dress and it was a total of $100!!! Having no experience then with sewing, I now realize they cut the band around the bust to let it out. The top of the strapless bodice falls over and exposes me. I then mistakenly took a jumper there as well to have shortened. They removed lining and made an uneven hem and the outfit looks nothing like its expensive self. PLUS it was not ready when it was to be and I waited (supposed to be leaving out of town) for 40 mins!! I finally thought I'd give them one more chance to fix the original dress and they refused to do it for free. The owner even claimed I had done something to the dress! I take things to the cleaners to sew buttons on :). I had to have it fixed else where for $50! My jean hems looked mediocre, but Nordstrom does a great job!

Poor Service

Untimely Service

Difficult communicate with staff

Terrible workmanship

• Pros: ok original hem

Best Tailor In Chicago

by socialbunny at Citysearch

Oh wow! I'm shocked at the two reviews.

So I'm searching for my favorite spots and then I find Tailor's Touch! I am excited to find my favorite tailor on here.

I love the great service I receive and the quick turn around time. I'm a regular and I've done everything from my prom (oh yeah, since high school) to a few bridesmaid gowns.

My mom has been coming to Tailor's Touch since I was in high school and now we go together. You know what they say mom knows best. Raymond does excellent work and Ms. Mary does a fabulous job on all my dresses.

It does get busy on weekends but hey its a great place to meet single guys ladies while you wait. lol I've met a couple of guys there but that's another story, all I can say if you meet a man that tailor's his clothes thats a big plus lol

Oh and before I forget they do EXCELLENT JOB ON JEANS. They were rated #1 in chicago too.

I'm sorry the other reviewers had poor service. I dont have any complaints at all.

• Pros: They're open 7 days a wk now, Great service, same finish on jeans, rush service if needed, experience with formal wear
• Cons: Hard to find parking, make sure you have enough in your meter, they love giving tickets on that block
