Sorrentino Tailor Shop

Pretty disappointed in how my wedding dress turned out. I spent $ 500 and have a dress that still doesn’t fit right. They let my dress out a little and took in the front (supposedly I don’t think they actually took in the front). My original quote was $ 600 and that included hemming my dress an inch. I didn’t feel like it was worth it so I told her to skip that because I didn’t want to pay that much. The lady was clearly annoyed by my decision. Now I’m out $ 500 and have a wedding dress that’s too big.

Found this place on Unilocal… So happy I did! Super friendly people especially Mr. Aldo Sorrentino. Their quality of work is exceptional. It’s also a cleaners so it’s a plus for me! Cost is relevant to the type of work that is done. In my opinion it’s worth it. I’m beyond satisfied with everything (work, people, location…). It has become my go to for any alterations/​cleaners. I highly recommend this place; you cannot go wrong!

I cannot say enough great things about this shop. The quality of the tailoring and cleaning is top-​notch, and the staff is extremely friendly and professional. In an age where personal neighborhood shops are going by the wayside, this place is a true gem. They even went the extra mile and fixed my daughter’s doll that had broken, which meant the world to her. A fabulous place!

My mom found this place on Unilocal because, I needed my wedding dress altered. Initially I couldn’t see the full beauty of the dress before the alterations. Once it was completed, it was beautiful, the staff was wonderful and the service impeccable.

I went in to have a dress hemmed and jacket sleeves shortened. The total cost was $ 125!?! Maybe it’s just me but I have never paid this much for tailoring services. The cost is outrageous and was more than the cost of the two items when I bought them from the store in the first place! Good work but ridiculous prices! I will never go back.

Fantastic personal service, RIGHT ON TIME, FAST, and extremely reasonable prices!
One of the best tailors in Chicago for sure!
Mi piace MOLTO questo posto!
l’ottimo sarto nel mondo!

I bought a brand new suit for my wedding rehearsal dinner but really the only way that I could find time to get it tailored was to find a place near my work. So I checked out Unilocal and found this place and decided to give it a try. I usually take anything that needs to be altered into the city, closer to home, so I was a little nervous. I have to say that Aldo did a spectacular job and I left this place completely satisfied. Honestly I will be taking more of my business here in the future and suggest you do the same.

Maria is a miracle worker! I brought my wedding dress into her shop two months before my wedding day. When I originally bought the dress it was a size 14, but I’m a size 6. She had to reconstruct the whole dress and hand sew on the beaded appliqué that was on my dress. Not only did she make whatever accommodations I needed but she was willing to wait until the week before as I am also expecting. I would recommend Maria in a heartbeat, no project is too big or too small.

Maria did a wonderful job!!! I went all around town looking for a tailor to fix my scrub top that was 3 sizes too big. A couple places said they could fix it, but no one paid as much attention to my body shape and to my sample scrub top. So I got a great feeling from her and her prices were very reasonable. I came to pick up my scrub tops today and it’s like they were made for me!!! Fit perfectly! Couldn’t have asked for a better job! I figured I just needed them made smaller and o well if they don’t look great, but wow. She even adjusted the pockets when she took in the seams. Looks just beautiful, so happy! I’d trust her with all my future tailoring needs, she did a really great job and I’d trust her with any of my most clothes. Highly recommended

After reading the myriad of reviews all the other local shops lacked, I was sold. I arrived and was quickly greeted by Maria. She was very friendly and called over her husband to help me with my suit tailoring. I was in an out in under 20 minutes and will update this review once I pick up my suit next week!

I’ve been trying out tailors in the area for the past few years. Found some good ones… But none that were outstanding. Until now.
This guy is incredible. Brought in a pretty expensive Brooks Brothers suit for some substantial alterations and could not be more impressed.
The prices are fair, the service is exceptional, and the craftsmanship is top notch.

I have been a customer here for years and will continue to be one for a long time! They do amazing work and are so friendly. I’ve had everything from pants shortened to a bridesmaid dress altered perfectly. Most recently, I had a button come off one of my jackets, and I cannot sew to save my life. Aldo did it for me in a couple minutes free of charge! Sweetest family who always takes good care of me!

Fast reliable cleaner. Excellent tailor. I won’t let anyone else alter my clothing. Great local place for Berwynites.

I bought my wedding dress in Italy, so I looked for a business that could uphold the Italian quality of my dress. Sorrentino’s was able to measure me, alter my dress, and steam it in less than a month. The dress was absolutely gorgeous. I would return to them in a heartbeat to have alterations done. And fresh, delicious espresso every time I visited!!!

Major rip-​off. If you go there make sure you get your estimate in writing. Very expensive for very marginal results.

Some cultures make tailors, others don’t. Paris has fashion houses, but the bankers there all go to London to buy their suits. Portugal is tiny, but it seems like it produced more tailors than all of Spain. Hence all the Teixeira’s. And, of course, the Italians.
That was my theory trying to find a tailor in the Chicago area, trying to find an old-​school, western-​suburbs tailor with ties to a tribe of tailors. I found one with an embossed diploma from the Scuola Taglieri Callegari in Milan. Mr. Sorrentino.
Absolutely the best experience I have ever had with a tailor. Mr Sorrentino sized up the suit, working with only a couple pins and alot of eyeballing, make incredibly precise alterations, including some really fine tricky shoulder work. It was all completely on trend, too, a perfect combination of classical craft and mastery of current trend. It reminded me of my grandfather’s stories about working in the early days of the aviation industry, when mechanics still set wings with their eyes first, and only used the instruments to confirm.
Oh, and the price was incredibly reasonable. Perfetto!

Fantastic and friendly service! I bought a bridesmaids dress that had an empire waist and that style was not flattering on me. I brought my dress to Sorrentino Tailor Shop and they were able to drop the waist and keep the beauty and quality of the dress. The dress now fits even better and is more flattering!

Only having a 5 month engagment means limited time for just about everything. And finding the right tailor is everything. I called up Sorrentinos and within a day I had an appointment. My gown was tailored in less then 1 month and i Just have to say it fit perfectly. Pictures will be posted!!! From the moment I stepped into the shop and heard Bocelli playing in the background, and all the hugs and smiles and compliments from Mrs. Sorrentino, I knew I was somewhere special. I am so happy I found this place. Also, the pricing was exactly where it should be. totally affordable.
I now take my clothes there on the regular for hemming as i am only 5’3″ and need just about everything hemmed. Again, total worth the drive for anyone to come out here. And I will be a life long costumer!!!

Perhaps the most important article of clothing a woman will EVER bring to a tailor is her wedding dress. I brought in a potentially decent wedding dress. I bought it off a mannequin and it was quite ill fitting and ripped in small places. I brought it to Sorrentino Tailor Shop because it was close to my mom’s house. I searched high and low knowing the wrong tailor could potentially be disasterous but time was of the essence and my wedding was around the corner.
My dress turned out perfect! They have been tailoring for so long and it is truly and ART. Their skill – attention to detail and overall caring about their customers makes Sorrentino’s a five star business.
Thank you so much!

Maria is AMAZING! Her work is just beyond incredible. Her keen attention to detail, superb level of quality, and the pride she takes in her work truly tells a lot about her as a person. She takes the time to make sure the final product looks & fits exactly like her customer wants it to fit.
I brought in a hot mess of a wedding dress to her shop. I had bought it from a consignment shop, and although it had beautiful beading, intricate lace, and detailing. The material underneath the dress made it look like I had bulging sides. She completely took out the underlining of the dress and switched it for another type of fabric, took in the dress from the back & sides, and also switched out the back zipper, which was completely crooked. She made sure to take care of all the little details of the dress – the lace & beading. I cannot be happier with the outcome.
I really needed a true professional to alter & restore a very worn dress, and Maria has magical hands. She truly knows the craft. What other alteration places said they could not do anything about, she was able to do it. My dress is a very complex piece, and very challenging to work, and now I can happily say it fits me exactly the way I want it to fit. I feel amazing in it, and cannot wait to walk down the aisle in it!!!
I would recommend Maria to anyone. She will not let you down!
