Dependable, efficient, and highly skilled tailors...recommended to the utmost
I have been working professionally as an actor since I graduated college, and am a founding member of a theater company. Naturally, this puts me in a position of having to rely on the efficiency of other professionals and colleagues. I would certainly consider the folks at Sew Special to be a reliable professional contact, because I asked them to work a miracle for me and they did it. I brought them a beautiful suit that needed a great deal of work and had to be ready in a matter of hours for a tech rehearsal and photo shoot that day. The pants had to be let out 3 inches for me, and this needed to be done in such a way that the original fabric was maintained. Also, the suit coat needed to be taken up a half inch at the sleeves. I brought it to them at 12 and it was done at 3. That's a whole lot of work to do in just three hours. It fit beautifully and looked amazing. I would bring my personal items to no other tailor in Chicago, and, professionally, I will insist that my company use Sew Special whenever necessary.

The Experts! Two locations. I went to Clark & Berteau loc.
I searched several alteration experts in my area to do something very special to a very special dress that I have. I needed to have my 39 year old Communion dress not only altered to fit my daughter who will be making her 1st Holy Communion in May, but it needed a new lining that had yellowed over the years and a newly constructed back that had yellowed as well as a "hidden zipper".

Phenomonial Place of Business
I was giving my daughter a Princess Ball Party for her 4th birthday and I needed a Cinderella dress made. I found Sew Special Custom Tailors by th grace of GOD! I had been to another tailor prior and the fee was too much for a little girls dress. I e-mailed Mike a picture of the Cinderella costume that I needed and he guaranteed me that he could make it. I was afraid at first because this was the first time that Ihad to have a dress made. When I saw the final finishing I was astonished! Mike and his staff took a costume picture and turned it into a gorgeous gown. My daughter felt and looked like the ture princess that she is. Words can not express how grateful i am for Mike and his staff. Sew Special Custom Tailor is truly unique!

Who would have thought that within steps from our home we would find the perfect partner to help us with the development of a prototype for commercialization. This family-owned business is poised to become an even greater resource to the Lincoln Park community and beyond, given their entrepreneurial bent, superb customer service and hand-crafted expertise. They were a pleasure to work with and we wish them continued success!

Sew special is a great family business. They have great teamwork and they always do what they say they are going to do. They get the job done right, perfect, and on time. They did my prom dress exactly how i wanted it to be. I do plan to come back if i have any future dresses or alterations in mind. I have grown accustomed to the workers in the store especially mike and his mother. I love their business.

Great Tailoring Experience
Mike knew exactly how my clothes needed to fit the second I walked in the door. He was enthusiastic about ideas I had as well as vastly more prompt about getting clothes back than other tailors I've worked with. Very easy to work with.

Sew Special IS SOOOOOOOO SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!
I am getting married to my Australian fiance and being EurAsian myself, I wanted a HanFu style Chinese wedding gown. I went to China Town on Cermak and Wentworth with no luck. So after being turned away in China Town, I googled for a Chicago dress-maker and found, at the top of the list, Sew Special. I drove straight to Mike's shop at Sew Special, showing up with 2 bolts of fabric, my inside dress and several of my drawings and photographs of what I wanted the HanFu dress to look like. A HanFu dress is one that is like a robe, with long sleeves. I also had a long train placed on it complete with roushing. I went in for three fittings and they did a stunning job--all from scratch and my drawings/photos. I even had them custom fit my headdress, which I imported from Shanghi. I could not have been more pleased. Their service was professional, talented and on-time. Best of all, they delivered EXACTLY what I wanted EXACTLY when I wanted it. No one else in the city can do a job like that. Really, you would have to go to China to get this type of work done. For them not being familiar with this type of dress and headdress, but to turn out a phenomenal piece was amazing. And did I mention they are charming too? The whole family---mom, dad and especially Mike! A delight to work with. I highly recommend them--and even my friend Laura is getting her wedding gown altered there.
