Sunflower Cleaners & Tailors

so thankful I found a great spot for well priced and well done alterations!

A really great place. I’ve been going for many years. Excellent and quick tailoring services; cleaning is always high quality and they are very friendly. Can’t beat this local family owned cleaners.

Short people problem #242: having to hem every single pair of pants/​jeans that you own.
I’ve been going to Sunflower for a few years now, and the tailoring is excellent every time. Signs of a good job: symmetrical, correct stitch type and even spacing. Most recently, the seamstress (who is super sweet!) was able to turn two pairs of my boot-​cut jeans (*so* last year) into skinny jeans! I’ve also had her done original hem on other pieces.
The turnaround time for tailoring is not very fast, 1 – 2 weeks usually. Dry cleaning takes a couple days. Also, no parking between 4−6pm outside.

Review is for tailoring services only — which I knocked off a star b/​c I thought they were a bit expensive. I brought a suit in to have the sleeves and hem shortened for a total of $ 40 — which I thought was a bit expensive considering that the pants weren’t lined.
Otherwise, the store itself is a little messy, it seems like they have a lot of customers so I guess that is a good thing. Not sure that I will be going back, I’m going to try to find another tailor that is more reasonable pricing.
Turnaround was one week, I brought it on a Friday and they had it ready for me the following Sat.

I used to love this place. She does a great job on the physical alterations. However, they have become less reliable over time. Items are not always ready when they are promised. Once, she promised me my pants would be ready on a Monday holiday. I asked if they’d be open on the holiday, and she said yes. I went all the way down there and they were closed– apparently she decided to go to a party at the last minute. Not the best way to run a business. I no longer feel I can rely on them to have things ready when agreed upon, so I am looking elsewhere for my alterations.

Once upon a time, I found a beautiful dress to wear to a work function. It fit perfectly, except that the straps were too long. So, I brought it to Sunflower cleaners to have the straps taken in. The seamstress agreed that she could have it done in a week for me. When I went back to pick it up, it wasn’t ready. She said, «can you pick it up tomorrow,» to which I replied, «no, the event is tomorrow and I have to work all day and you agreed to have it done.» When I went back two weeks later, it was done and she apologized and said she forgot. Unfortunately, she was a little too late and I had to wear my boring black dress to the function.
I have had other pieces cleaned and altered here, and the work is fine, but when someone does not keep their word, I get pretty amped.

Been going to Sunflower for probably a few years now. Edna is the best. She always remembers me and has my clothes pulled out for me before I can even find my receipt. She also knows that the right side of my body is totally whack and my right leg is shorter than my left. So this requires her to measure everything more carefully so that my pants come out perfectly even. We also recently discovered that this affects my shoulders, therefore needing her to measure both when shortening shirt/​dress straps for me. Everything is reasonably priced and I’ve always been happy with all my alterations and dry cleaning. I’ve referred a couple friends as well and they are also happy with the alterations here.

Edna is just the sweetest lady in the world.…she did 4 pairs of pants and the work is great and the prices are more than reasonable. She also took the pleats out of two pairs of pants I had so I can get some more life out my suits.

This is a review of their tailoring services. I was referred to Sunflower by a rival drycleaner nearby (their amazing seamstress works only once a week), which gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
I need tailoring services often: I’m petite, and pants are always too long on me. Sunflower’s seamstress is a delightful and chatty woman who will complement you on the fine quality of clothes you bring in, do original seams on jeans, and do a bang-​up job shortening your pants (she magically knows how long I like my pants to hit) – and the prices are reasonable. I brought in a pair of slacks and a pair of jeans to shorten, plus chinos that I needed re-​hemming to correct another tailor’s shoddy job. The whole bill came to about $ 34.
As for dry cleaning, my neighbor told me they’re the cheapest in the Brookline Village area, but I have no empirical data on this.
