TESTIMONIALS

       Lauren N.

Sew & Glow was a lifesaver for my wedding dress. I ordered a dress off Etsy that was unfortunately too small in the bodice. With only a month until my wedding Sew & Glow quickly altered my dress in less than two weeks and at a very reasonable price. I would 100% recommend them to any bride in chicago!

So I bought a dress for a wedding that didn't fit me very well but I loved the dress so I kept delaying making a decision about returning it until we were about 10 days out from said wedding and I didn't have an alternative. I had initially booked an appt with the department store I purchased the dress from but I walked by this store and decided to give it a try. I kind of figured the dress was doomed anyway. It was loose all over except in the hips. Even the top wouldn't stop gapping which is usually not an issue for me.

She not only got a dress that just wasn't meant for my body type to fit like a glove (see picture) but she finished the alterations early and also tailored a pair of shorts that had a huge waist gap that I threw in with the dress when I came in.

10/10 job. Will definitely be using her as my tailor for everything going forward.

The tailor shop transformed my wedding dress into a masterpiece. The attention to detail and craftsmanship were extraordinary. They listened to my preferences, offered valuable suggestions, and delivered a gown that surpassed my expectations. The service was exceptional, making the entire experience memorable. I highly recommend this tailor shop for bridal attire alterations.

I brought my silk wedding gown and my Nigerian wedding dress for alterations for my wedding in June. After some disappointing experiences with other wedding tailors in town, I was happy to discover this seamstress in my neighborhood. Expert alterations and custom adjustments, fast service, great pricing, and so friendly. This honestly was the best part of my wedding planning experience. 5 stars! Thank you so much, you've earned a customer for life!

I'm just now catching up on my wedding reviews, and wanted to commend the great work Sew & Glow did on the alterations on my wedding dress! I got married in April and needed my dress shortened a bit, bustled and let out a bit at the waist. I'll admit, it was on the pricier side to let out the bust, but everything else was well worth it! My dress had a long train and Aselia did a wonderful job; I received a lot of compliments on the bustle! She was very communicative and the alterations were done pretty quickly!

I got a bridesmaid dress hemmed here and they did an excellent job! I dropped it off on a Friday and it was ready by Tuesday - much quicker than I expected. The cost was much more reasonable than other services I’ve used, and between the quality of the work, the cost, and the speed, I will definitely come here again.
