At Evelyn's Alterations & Tailor Shop, we don't just adjust hems — we restore confidence, preserve heirlooms, and deliver the kind of precision that turns ordinary garments into pieces you'll wear for years.
From a simple hem to a complete wardrobe overhaul, Evelyn's delivers the kind of meticulous attention that only comes from a lifetime of dedicated work.
Suits, dresses, pants, and more — we adjust every seam, hem, and dart to ensure your clothing fits like it was made for you.
Your wedding dress, tuxedo, or evening gown deserves nothing less than perfection. We handle delicate fabrics and intricate details with care.
Off-the-rack rarely fits perfectly. Our custom fitting service transforms store-bought pieces into garments that move with your body.
Beyond fabric — we handle household repairs with the same precision. From fixtures to furniture, your home is in capable hands.
Torn seams, missing buttons, worn hems — we repair and restore your favorite pieces so they look and feel like new again.
Silk, lace, velvet, leather — every fabric has its own demands. We approach each material with the expertise it requires.
Years of Excellence
Chicago's trusted tailor
For over four decades, Evelyn's Alterations & Tailor Shop has been the go-to destination for Chicago residents who refuse to compromise on fit. What started as a small operation built on word-of-mouth referrals has grown into one of the city's most trusted tailoring and home repair services.
We believe that a well-fitted garment does more than look good — it changes how you carry yourself. Every alteration we make, every repair we complete, is handled with the same care we'd give our own clothing. That's not marketing; it's simply how we've always done things.
