Fit ‘N Fashion Tailors

I dropped my coat off to have the buttons sewed back on because they were dangling off and as well as have it cleaned. The coat looked like new when I got it back very clean and was ready 2 days later. The price point was very good to I was actually expecting it to be a little more. I will continue to use them in the future.

I was really nervous going here because of the reviews. Almost every review mentioned the employees being rude. But when my bridesmaid’s dress from new york came in, 3 weeks before the wedding I didn’t have much time to pick and choose where to go. I called a bunch of tailors in Maywood — 2 out of ¾ places said I should just bring it back. Well, I couldn’t! So when I called this place and they said they could fix it was I was over joyed.
When I first went in, like I said, I was nervous. But I was greeted by a wondeful older lady who calmed my nerves after I showed her how big the dress was. It would slip right off of me! She reassured me it would be okay. They had me go in right away to try it on and came out, he fitted it and chatted with me the entire time. There are 2 younger woman that work there that don’t nessisarily smile the entire time but they didn’t seem rude or un-​interested. The older man made me feel very comfortable and relaxed that my dress would be okay.
I went back this past Friday — holding my breath and tried it on. IT FIT, PERFECTLY. I jumped for joy!!! They kept it to let it out a little bit in the waist, (also because probably should be on a diet before this wedding) but besides that it looks beautiful. Best work I’ve seen. I am so unbelievably appreciative and happy with what this place did for me. They are LIFESAVERS and in just a WEEK! Think I’ll be coming here for awhile!

While the tailoring work is some of the best, the tailor is very rude. I don’t care if I come in 10 mins after you open or 10 minutes before you close to have a dress altered, a business owner, or employee– don’t know if he owns the place, should never be impatient or rude. They are also a bit pricey, but the work is good.

My experience was horrible and will certainly never return.
I was in a bridal party and needed my dress taken in and also hemmed. My dress was unusual (short cocktail dress with a chiffon attachment that started at my hips and extended all the way to the floor making this a high-​lo dress — front part of my legs were exposed — back of my legs were not). There was a lot of bead-​work on my dress (actually the whole dress was beading except for the chiffon) and in addition to the hemming and taking in, I needed him (Richie) to fasten some of the beading that were lose. Aside from his personality (sarcastic — which can be irritating when you’re looking for professionalism on a $ 600 dress) I decided to go along and hope for the best.
The cost for the work was $ 175 which I thought was costly so I asked Richie if he would be willing to cut me a deal if I brought him additional business (my sister was also in the bridal party and needed hemming and taking in as well). He said sure, so I had my sister take her dress there as well thinking we would receive some sort of discount. **keep this in mind as I will reference the price issue at the end of my review.
My first fitting went well — length of the chiffon was perfect and the dress was perfectly snug. However, I noticed that the length of the beaded cocktail portion of the dress was uneven — something neither Richie nor I noticed at my initial visit. He contributed this to the dress being big which skewed the imperfection. He said this would be fixed easily by loosening the lining of the dress. He was able to see my concern and assured me everything would be OK. I said fine, do what you think is best. I also told him to please remember to fasten some of the beading — this is my SECOND time telling him.
I returned on a Friday to pick-​up my dress and my sisters (the wedding was on Sunday) but was in a hurry and wasn’t able to try it on. I said my sister and I would try it on at home and would let them know if there were any issues.
Here comes the cost…$ 350 for both dress ($ 175 each). I almost had a heart attack. I told the lady at the register that he said he would give me a discount since I brought him additional business. The lady said she would check with Richie. She came back and said sorry but the price is $ 350 — I said but he said he would give us a discount — her response was well sorry but there was a lot of work to be done — the price isn’t changing. I paid and left.
I tried my dress on hours later — by then the tailor was closed. Beading was falling off and additional pieces were loose. Also the beaded cocktail portion of the dress was still uneven. I was furious. I called the store the next morning and spoke to the receptionist — told her all my complaints and said I would be down there in an hour and needed the errors fixed immediately.
When I got to the store I showed the receptionist all the beading that was loose and the beading that fell off (the strings were hanging) and asked her why the hemming on the cocktail portion of the dress was still uneven. She called Richie and he said relax we will fix the beading. I said what about the hemming — you said you would release the lining which would fix the unevenness of the dress. He looked at me like I was crazy and said I never told you that. All I said I was going to do was attach fabric to make it look even. How in the world would I come up with the concept of «releasing the lining?!» I am not a tailor nor have I ever worked for a tailor. We stood there arguing for a good 10 minutes and I got nowhere. I had him fix the beading (which took about 30 minutes cause each time he fixed a bead and brought the dress out for me to see I would find another 5 beads that needed fixing)
I left the store in a furry and told the receptionist I would never return — her response was «great»
If you’re looking for quality work I would say to find another tailor.

If you are reading reviews for dry cleaners /​tailors you have probably already have had some positive and negative experiences in life with this type of business. Like you, I have had my fair share of regretful experiences In this industry…
Prior to uncovering this gem I had given up on trying to find quality service at a good price. My only resort was to pay exorbitant prices at a local French dry cleaner to get guaranteed results from my cleaning. If only I had known about this place years ago I could have saved thousands of dollars.
I wear a suit to work every day and I have approximately 30 dress shirts used with my suits that I run through before bringing my sack-​o-​laundry to the dry cleaner. By the time they make it to the cleaner there is definitely some significant ring-​around-​the-​collar and sweat lines around the cuffs of my shirts. If you try to bring them to a cheap dry cleaner they will sick a minimum wage employee with a scrub brush on your shirt to scrub until the staining is removed… Sure that works, until they wear the fabric off your collars and you have to throw the shirt in the trash.
After using Fit and Fashion Tailors For approximately one year now I can confidently say none of my shirts have been damaged and they come back extremely clean every time. My girlfriend brought a stained silk shirt to them that my fancy french fry cleaner was unable to Clean (at 3x the cost) and miraculously the shirt came back spotless!
I can also vouch for their tailoring skills. The owner IS the Taylor and he does excellent work on anything I have brought to him.
The only negative I can think of what this place is that they were cash only (I hate cash only)… However, as of last week it seems they have a credit card machine so they have earned five stars from me!
Try them, You will not be disappointed.

This place is quick, affordable and has a friendly staff. I have been to a few dry cleaners/​tailors in the area & this is my new favorite spot.
