Tailoring By Jodee

Wendy and Dee are the best around in what they do. They always go above and beyond for me. They are extremely nice and also very reasonable in their pricing. I would recommend them for any type of tailoring. A++++++++++

Excellent service at reasonable prices! They can do everything from a simple hem to a complicated prom dress.

I have been coming to Jodee and Wendy for years. They are wonderful people and their work is incredible. I have had them do everything from clothing alterations to resizing quilts and making pillows. The work is always exceptional. Both Jodee and Wendy treat their work very seriously and are not afraid to give their opinions or project the outcomes. They are funny, straightforward, and kind. You won’t be disappointed.

Jodee made a decorative pillow for me using a cross-​stitched piece that I had made. She did an outstanding job. I had a vision in my head of what I hoped it would look like when it was done and the finished pillow far exceeded my expectations! This pillow was a wedding gift and I couldn’t be prouder of the finished product. Thank you Jodee for a job well done

Jodee is excellent. She provides fantastic tailoring service. She’s very sweet and helpful. Her assistant Wendy, however, isn’t as friendly… Over all, I’m always happy with their work!

Jodee has been tailoring for as long as I can remember! She does a wonderful job and she does it quickly! She has become quite popular over the years so you may want to call ahead to check on turn around time but for simple fixes, she turns them around quickly!
If you are looking for quality tailoring, reasonable prices, to «shop locally,» and support the community, this is the place you want to go.

I called frantically to have my husband’s pants fixed right away because he needed them the next day. Wendy was great! I came in and she fixed them while I waited. I was so appreciative and she was very friendly!!!

I went in to get my pants taken in no one was in the place but me and Wendy who is just a miserable person she was rude and I felt like I was a bother to her. Finally she made me put on the pants had me wait for what seemed like forever put some pins in the pants and said done. I came out she was like I hope you don’t need these back soon, I was like whenever just tell me when. So she told me it would be pickup on Thursday which was over a week away. I went on Wednesday of the next week forgetting it was supposed to be on Thursday pickup she was again rude and said your ticket says Thursday, she wouldn’t ebem look to see if they were done, she just said look at your ticket you have the wrong day! Ok you are rude and I feel bad for Jodee you are driving Her buisness away!

After the debacle that was the 10 months of hell trying to secure the wedding dress I’d most unfortunately purchased at House of Brides, I was terrified at the thought of trying to find a bridal tailor. But it was absolutely necessary: I’d lost 85 lbs from dress purchase to dress arrival, and this dress was so enormous on me, it was unwearable — I looked down and nearly saw my belly button. It was held up solely by the insanely corseted back. It needed a hem, it needed a bustle. It needed WORK.
My aunt swore up and down that she knew of a tailor in Naperville who was amazing and inexpensive, called JoDee tailoring. I called and was greeted by a very gruff woman who advised she didn’t know if JoDee had time to do another bridal, but I could come in that Saturday and see if she could do it. Though unimpressed by the customer service, my fam rarely steers me wrong — so I went.
I drove right past this place about 6 times because I didn’t realize I was looking for a house, and was a bit concerned to learn this is where this «amazing tailor» was located. I wandered in and Wendy, the gruff-​but-​ultimately-​loveable woman I’d spoken to, demanded I get in the dress and JoDee would be out to see me. I easily tossed the enormously too big gown on, and JoDee met me at the door.
«Wow — those are some tattoos.»
«Oh, haha, yeah, I guess. Thanks.»
«So you wear your art on the outside?»
«I guess so?»
«Well. As long as you don’t live a life of crime. Let’s work on this dress.»
And so began my love affair with the teensy tiny, grey haired, sharp tongued, and insanely talented JoDee. On my first appointment, she decided we were taking out all the boning, taking in the enormous bust, hemming the dress, and going from there. When I came back the next week, we tacked the bust down even more, and did a French bustle. On my third trip, she added cups to the dress and new hooks to secure the back. And finally, today, on my fourth trip — I tried on an absolutely perfect wedding dress. I couldn’t believe it was the same gown. And when she told us the total for ALL of these alterations was a mere $ 100, I couldn’t believe it. The bustle was PERFECT. The fit is perfect. It took a long time, but I’m so excited to wear it.
I ended up having 3 of my 4 bridesmaids go there too, and they all fell in love with charming little JoDee and were pleasantly surprised at the inexpensive results. Each time, JoDee expressed her excitement for our wedding to me, my mom, my maids — she seems to so genuinely care about what she does and the clients she helps. Wendy, her assistance, seems to have to warm up to you, but is such a lovely woman as well. When I left today, they both begged for me to come back with pictures — which I will gladly do!
You guys I can’t express in words how amazing and painless this experience was. JoDee is affordable, conveniently located, insanely quick, has accessible hours, and does incredibly accurate, beautiful work. I don’t own a lot of clothing that requires tailoring but I will be taking anything I need tailored EVER AGAIN to Miss JoDee. And you should, too.

I went here to get a suit tailored. I was greeted with some of the worst service I have ever received. Wendy was rude, crude, and rolled her eyes at me at one point when I asked when the suit would be ready for pick up. JoDee did an alright job and was nice herself. Wendy was unprofessional and mean each time I went into the place to drop off and pick up my suit. There prices are average to high. JoDee, you did just fine but Wendy is the reason why I will never be back nor will I recommend this place to anybody. One more thing, Cash or check only.

I have been going to JoDee for years now, and she is always pleasant, straight forward, and has a good price.
I had to write a review after bringing in a bridesmaid dress that was twice the size of me (not an exaggeration– once in it I could wrap it around my front and half my back), and she altered it down to not only look amazing on me but it still looked the same as the other bridesmaids!
