Lydia’s Tailor and Cleaners

I love Lydia’s! A very friendly group of women and exceptional tailoring. I brought in a pair of Burberry jeans that were too long and nervously handed them over for tailoring. They were cut and refit perfectly. I will happily take every need to Lydia given the stellar job on my most prized purchase of 2016.

Fantastic! Thorough, friendly, professional, fast, cost-​effective. Parking was challenging but that’s not their fault.

Lydia’s is such a great place. I had gone there to get two dresses altered and tailored. The service was exceptional and Lydia was really patient and kind to listen to everything I had to say. I needed the dresses altered and tailored for a competition and I went to her just 3 weeks before the day of the competition. Even though there was a lot of work to be done on the dresses, Lydia accepted and got it done well before time. I highly recommend this place!

I have had Lydia tailor a formal dress for me, and had some items dry cleaned too. Lydia is clearly a professional at what she does! Within 30 seconds she had my dress pinned, and the finished work was great. I will definitely be coming back to Lydia for all my future alteration needs!

Lydia is great! I’m a huge procrastinator, and when my dress still needed hemmed with just a month until my wedding I was afraid it would be hard to find someone with the time to do it. I was planning on going to someone in Frederick as I work there and live 40 minutes away (the complete opposite direction of Germantown) but after reading all the great reviews, I messaged Lydia through Unilocal asking if it was something she would have time for. She replied very quickly, and her response was, «Of course I can do it.» I was sold! I went the next evening after work, her shop is in the cutest area of town (I’m now convinced I want to move there), and right away she went to work pinning it up quickly and confidently. I picked up my dress today and it’s perfect! Honestly, I’ve never had anything altered before so I can’t compare her prices to anything, but it seemed reasonable to me. I will definitely be back!

Excellent professional service at reasonable prices– what more can you ask? I would recommend Lydia for any alteration!

The service here is exceptional. The seamstress (might be the owner but I’m not sure) did a wonderful job tailoring a newly purchased suit last week. I bring my suits and shirts here regularly and I’m always greeted with a smile by the staff (including the seamstress in the back who seems to never take a break… hard worker!) I love the «local family owned» feel as I don’t feel like a #. My clothes always come back clean and perfectly pressed.
Customer for life!

I brought in a lace, floor length bridesmaid dress that needed to be hemmed and taken in with just a week turnaround. Lydia was quick to respond to my emails and my calls when I was looking at different tailor options and that’s why I chose her services. But it was her amazing work that will keep me coming back forever! I wasn’t excited about this dress at all because it just didn’t right. After Lydia worked her magic, I was absolutely in love and the price was fair for the magic. Thanks so much, Lydia!

Lydia’s is fantastic. They do great work for very reasonable prices and they do it in a very pleasant way. I recommend them for anyone in the Germantown area. I’ve had them alter many of my pants and they are always done well and in a short amount of time.

I brought my black, beaded custom wedding gown into Lydia’s at the beginning of December. It was several sizes too big and way too long. I was fitted right then and there and everything was ready and perfect in one month, just in time for my wedding. She did a spectacular job on the dress. Thank you so much!

Lydia tailored my wedding dress. Weddings are crazy. And Lydia brought peace and comfort to me when I needed it most. Only after the wedding, can I share with you how amazing her seamstress abilities are. I wore my dress from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. It was so comfortable for over 12 hours! I danced for hours and rolled on the floor with children. Not a single seam popped! Her craftsmanship was superior. I loved my French bustle. Thank you, Lydia, for making my day so special.

I never review things but this is worth it! She altered my dress a few weeks back for New Years and is truly an amazing tailor! My dress was literally all sequins and extremely delicate to alter but she an amazing job taking it in at the waist and hemming it I couldn’t believe it! She used to work at saks and really knows what she’s doing with delicate fabrics! I will definitely be returning to her for all of my dry cleaning /​tailoring needs!

I wish I had taken a before and after photo of a winter coat. It is white again. The lining is better than when I purchased it. I have never been disappointed with the quality of service, the positive attitude, and wonderful customer service. I have had myriad items altered, as well. For as long as I live in the vicinity, Lydia’s will have my business!

Lydia did an amazing job on my suit. I didn’t know much about sewing and was very skeptical to spend the money but it was well worth it. She made many major modifications and it fits better now than ever. It really is a custom fit and all the stitching is very clean and holding strong. She also managed to get it done 2 days before her estimated completion date. Come here if you want quality work.

The service is awesome! The owner is super friendly and she was able to get my dress perfect! The price is a lot more reasonable than most other places I have been to. I had to rush the order but she was able to get it done! I definitely will recommend this to anyone that needs it!

I am very happy to have found Lydia’s. Excellent alterations on a men’s suit. Friendly, professional, reasonable, convenient. I will be back for more work, including dry cleaning.

Lydia’s services are by far the highest quality and affordable in the area, it is no surprise to me every review so far has given 5 stars. I usually do not write reviews on Unilocal but because I am permanently moving out of state, I wanted to write a review for my favorite local tailor for others to enjoy her excellent services.
At 5’1″, most dresses, jackets, and pants I buy for work don’t fit well and Lydia has surpassed all my expectations over the last few years. I cannot say I have ever been unsatisfied with any piece I have taken home from her shop. Last year during a measuring, Lydia had told me that prior to opening her shop in Germantown, she was an in-​house tailor at Saks Fifth Avenue and Ralph Lauren. It is evident from the quality of her work where she had developed such immaculate skills, attention to detail, and excellent customer service.
Not only does Lydia have extensive tailor and cleaners experience, she is the sweetest lady that has taken in many of my pieces needed for immediate pick up multiple times willingly! I will miss her services very much!

The dress was great Fits me perfectly Exactly how I wanted it. It took about one week wasn’t that long After all I love it!

We’ve been going to Lydia’s Tailor and Cleaners for over 18 months. She is the best cleaners and tailors that we have frequented in ten years. Her prices are highly competitive and her work is work is exacting and professional; she puts so much care into every piece of clothing that she either cleans or tailors.

Hey if you are wondering why are the reviews all five stars and why were they all written in march 2015: I guess Lydia just realized the existence of Unilocal and felt bad that the shop didn’t have any reviews. Yesterday I walked in to pick up the jeans she altered for me, Lydia shortened the inseam and now they fit perfect. I was very satisfied (those jeans are hard to deal with as they have leg zippers) and Lydia seized the opportunity to ask for a review. I said I’d be happy to!

We lived cross the street for a year, and we’ve been visiting Lydia’s once a week since our move-​in date. The services we used most were dry cleaning (suit pants and silks), shoe fixes and spot removing (this is kind of included in dry cleaning, but I just wanna point out that they do a good job.)
At first it was just convenience, but then I found that the staff are really nice and always welcome us warmly. Plus, they get the job done quickly. For example, if I walked in with a pair of suit pants on Friday, they’ll be ready on Monday (Sunday is not a business day).
The price is reasonable. I have my loafers’ heels fixed for under $ 20, suit pants dry cleaning is $ 4.99 and pants alterations are around $ 15.
