P Dia

Fantastic work and great people… I get all my clothes tailored here and am always happy with the work. I highly recommend…

Love this place! Came here for a bridesmaid dress and now they are doing alterations for my wedding dress. The owners are so friendly and attentive, and their work is high quality! I was nervous about finding a place for wedding dress alterations and am so happy I found P’Dia!
If you’re looking for quality alterations at an affordable price, this is the place!

Love this place. We had our wedding suits tailored here last summer and Diane did an excellent job. Since then I have had two more suits done with equally great results. Plus Diane and Perry are very friendly and down to earth. Highly recommended!

Took my wedding dress here a year and a half ago, and the seamstress did a great job. Brought a bridesmaid dress here a couple months ago, and she did it again. Highly recommend this place. The downtown location is super convenient, and she’s so easy to work with. :)

I went to Diane to tailor my wedding dress after seeing the great reviews on this website. I had a very mixed experience. Diane is very easy to work with, friendly and quite accommodating, however that being said I did have some issues. The first was the price. She gave me a very reasonable quote for the hem and the bustle and said that was the final price for the work, she wouldn’t charge me any more. But then she charged me an additional $ 75 for the bustle — which she explained she hadn’t realized would be so complicated.
There were also a couple of issues with the bustle, which was a further annoyance after having to pay more money than quoted for it. One of the buttons that she sewed for the bustle immediately fell off after only pinning it up once (luckily I did a trial run before my wedding). I called her in a panic and to her credit she did fix it the next day free of charge. However the bustle also broke at the end of my wedding (one of the loops she had sewn onto the dress fell off).
Overall, she is easy to work with, but my overall experience wasn’t great.

I took my wedding dress here for alterations. Diane put in a bustle, adjusted my the straps and took my dress in a bit. I was happy with all of the work she did on my dress. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for alterations!

LOOOOVE this place! They altered my bridesmaids dress exceptionally well and in a timely manner. She got it right the first time so when I went in for a fitting it fit perfect! Ironically as I was taking the dress off, I ripped a whole in the back with my heel: o (She offered to fix it up the following day and didn’t even charge me. When I came back to pick it up, they ran it out to me on the street so I didn’t even have to find parking downtown. Very friendly and amazing service. Can’t say enough good things!

Needed a quick seam rip on some slacks repaired before a presentation and she stayed open late and did them on the spot for only $ 3! Amazing, I’ll be back for everything now. Very friendly and helpful.

Very nice lady who does nice work. I had a silk chiffon bridesmaids dress made a bit bigger for me. My only complaint would be that the material she used to make it bigger was not the same material as my dress, and I guess I assumed it would be. There were also a few wrinkles I was hoping she would get out but I can probably fix that. I would recommend her, just make sure to ask questions about the final product if you’re going bigger.

Glad I went. I was way behind getting my suit coat tailored, but they did everything they could to get me in and done before my wedding. Great service, will be back. However this time I will make it in with more than a week before the day. Reasonable prices too.

I came in here after reading the reviews to get a bridesmaid dress severely altered after the dress shop made the wedding party get very oversized dresses. I was extremely happy with how everything turned out — she and her husband were very friendly and even knew which dress was mine when i came for pick yp though i had met them for less than 5 minutes a month earlier. The fitting took less than 5 minutes and the price was way less than I was expecting ($ 55) considering the amount of alterations that had to be done (she said she had to take the dress in 7 inches or roughly 3 sizes) and you couldn’t even tell the dress had anything done to it. I will be going here again for any alterations I need in the future.

This is where I bring all of my clothes for alterations. I have used a few others in the Milwaukee area and they have all been good, but this is my preferred spot.
She does a great job, and really works with you. Very nice women too. Reasonable prices and she sticks to the timeline quoted. No complaints!

I recently lost a lot of weight and needed to have one of my suits taken in. The suit was custom made for me, is made of very fine wool and has a lot of sentimental value. I had it made for a cruise I took with my father. So I did a fair amount of research when I was looking for a tailor to do alterations.
After reading reviews here on Unilocal,I decided to take my suit to Diane at P’ Dia. I was not disappointed. Diane took her time measuring and pinning my pants and jacket and made some great recommendations.
I just went in for a first fitting yesterday and the suit fit PERFECTLY. Soooo comfortable! I was worried that taking in a suit that much would make it look «altered,» in a bad way. Nope. Looks just as good as when I had it made for me.
For the quality of service I got, the price was fantastic. I have a lot of other clothing that I will be taking to P’ Dia soon! Highly recommended!!!

I stopped in there on a Friday afternoon to ask about getting some leather work done. I have a nice sheepskin jacket which the pocket had torn from the stitching. Well, after talking to the gal for a few minutes, she told me to stop in the following Thursday to get it done.
Come Thursday, I drop off my jacket for her to repair. About two hours later, the shop rings me up and says it’s ready. It was very well repaired with extra stitching. All it cost was $ 10, too! Now, this is a $ 1,200 replica WWII B-​3 Bomber Jacket. I was a bit nervous to leave it with just anyone. But, the shop took great care with it! I may have her fix something else small on it. That can wait til spring. It’s still damn cold out!

If you’re getting married and you realize you should wear a suit instead of jeans, then realize that you probably need to get it tailored because you have such a slender figure, Diane can help you in a pinch.
I’m not saying this happened to me but I’m also not saying this didn’t.
I’m saying hypothetically if you happen to call up a week and a half before your wedding and try squeeze in a fitting, she’ll be flexible. Hypothetically, she would also get you in day of and finish your altering within a week. Though this may cost extra, you can count on it to be quality work.
This is a popular shop downtown and it is one that has been around for years. Diane has 40 years worth of tailoring experience and many people know her for the stellar work she does. During peak wedding season or peak winter season it can get busy. Sometimes up to a 3 weeks wait. I had two suits tailored here. My one issue came with my second suit when my pants weren’t properly hemmed. I stuck my leg in and it immediately became disconnected. Diane fixed it right there, which was great. For my first visit, I’m definitely impressed.
Helpful tips:
–Call to schedule a fitting in advance
–Prepare for a 2 – 3 week wait unless you want to pay for rush service
–Bring the shoes you want tailored to your pants
I have quite a few things that need altering, so I’ll be back.
P. S. I got my wedding suit tailored here.

I brought my wedding dress to Diane for some serious alterations. Not only did she make it fit me like a glove, the prices were completely reasonable.
Before you brush this off as just another review, let me provide a little backstory. This was not an off the rack David’s Bridal gown – we are talking an $ 11,000 Vera Wang haute couture that fell into my hands at a sample sale. I was swimming in it, but the price was so amazing I couldn’t pass it up. The dress was easily four sizes too big, with a bodice covered in alencon lace. Essentially, this was a recipe for wedding gown alteration disaster; everything you read says don’t try to go down more than three sizes with a lace bodice and even that is pushing it. And if you do, you’ll make up what you saved on the up-​front cost in alteration charges. But the price was right, so I took a gamble.
Diane scoffed at the idea that it couldn’t be done, and got right to it without batting an eyelash. I think I paid maybe $ 150 for the whole thing (???) which is much less than what other seamstresses were quoting me. And certainly put my net cost for the gown no where NEAR the original price. She was professional, quick, and willing to work within my insane work schedule.
If you are looking for someone to perfect the most important dress you’ll ever wear, look no further.

I haven’t had anything tailored in years, so when I needed a dress taken up I called P’Dia based on the positive Unilocal reviews.
First, the owner Diane is very friendly and super accommodating. Normally she runs about 2 weeks for alterations (she’s busy for good reason, people!) but she was able to get my item done in less than that because I needed it for an event this weekend. I really, really appreciated that.
Second, her prices are very reasonable especially considering the quality of the work.
Third, my dress is perfect — it’s now exactly the length I wanted it to be & the process was painless.
Diane does custom work as well — she’s actually making my sister’s wedding dress right now. Great service, fair prices and a friendly owner = my new stop for anything I need tailored.

I brought in my strapless bridesmaid’s dress to Diane for alterations. Being the first time I’ve ever had to wear a strapless dress, I was a bit nervous about feeling uncomfortable wearing one.
Not only did Diane fit the dress to me perfectly; she made me feel like I was at a friend’s house the entire time I was there. She even kept an eye out for the parking checker while I was changing (if you get to her shop before she opens at 10am, there is no parking allowed at the meters in front on Wisconsin Ave)!
Although I’ve never had to have a dress altered before and can’t really compare her prices to anyone else, it definitely seemed reasonable.
Highly recommended!

So far the best tailor/​alterations I’ve found in Milwaukee. One thing that really impressed me about her business savvy was that she was familiar with every Unilocal review about her place. Very personable ebullient woman who properly tailored my new but cheap suit, and a properly tailored cheap suit actually looks better than an improperly tailored expensive suit, if you’re an overweight man. If you’re a thin man, well any suit looks good on you, even double breasted, and please don’t stand near me. Because there’s a shortage of this profession in town, she’s got a somewhat long turnaround time, though she was done exactly when promised. Just make your appointment well in advance of any event, and I think she’s your choice for formal or ceremonial wear, new business or work outfits. She does custom dresses, I don’t have any way of assessing her skills in that area.

This woman works wonders!
I had bought a beautiful long beaded dress for my engagement party that was a little loose to begin with. As the date got closer and my stress level got higher– I dropped weight. a lot of weight. Usually this would make me happy, but not when you have a dress you’re set on that needs to fit. I took it to a handful of people to see what I can do with it, and mostly everyone said they would not be able to work with it since it’s all beaded.
At p dia she not only took It in with short notice, she made it fit like a glove! I was very pleased with the results!
Thanks again, I’ll be back !
