  Best "special case" alterations place in Chicago? Good morning! I have a beaded Adriana Papel dress (or ~gown~) that I recently wore for the first time and, upon taking it off, noticed that beads fell off in a few places (I think from standing up and scooting in my chair). The dress came with a bag of beads that can be added by a seamstress, but I don't know of a reliable one. Can anyone vouch for a reliable, delicate alterations place that they have personally used and loved? The closer to the Clark/Division area, the better! Thank you in advance.

  Neverdied asked:

  Can anyone recommend a seamstress/costume maker or company that does custom clothing in Chicago to remake a jacket? I have a really cool cotton jacket I got in Korea but it is two size under my shoulder size. I would like to hire someone to remake it at my size. I am looking for a really good seamstress or costume maker or even a freelancer or student...don t really care as long as its good work. I ll provide the jacket for measurements. Also if that person can make Halloween professional costumes that would be even better. Do you know a company or someone? Thanks in advance

  [Alva Graciano] (http://www.alvagracianotailors.com/). I feel like i'm constantly recommending them because they do such fantastic work. The two-owners went to fashion school together and now own the store where they do basic to complicated alterations and create custom clothing. Due to their popularity growing their prices have gone up a bit but they are still fair.
