Bridal Alterations by Ruth

Ruth did an amazing job! I purchased a wedding dress online, sight unseen, and it came about a size too big. From the first call to her, Ruth put me right at ease. Ruth took in the side seams and the bust and made it fit like a glove. She also pressed it perfectly. The part I am most impressed with though is she did this in under two weeks! Though I have never had a wedding dress altered before, I would say that the price was quite reasonable too! I will definately go back, and will send everyone I know to her.

Ruth does exceptional work. She knows just what to do but also trys to accomadate your special needs. She recently performed alterations on a bridesmaid dress for my daughter and it fit perfectly. She was quick but thorough and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her.

Ruth is a miracle worker! My wedding dress was ordered a few sizes too big and a few inches too short. The whole bridal shop experience was a complete nightmare, as the sales women didn't offer much help in figuring out how to make my dress perfect. Enter Ruth-- she stayed positive throughout the process and had a "can do" attitude that put me at ease. Even though it took several fittings (and tears), I had confidence in Ruth. I cannot tell you how many compliments I had on my wedding day about the fit of the dress (like a glove!). I've been back to Ruth since then with a bridesmaid dress. Again, she made the dress fit perfectly, even adding lingerie straps to make me feel more comfortable. I would definitely recommend Ruth!

I had a bridesmaid dress altered by Ruth. The fitting was 30 minutes from start to finish and she was very accommodating with my schedule. I picked the dress up about 2 1/2 weeks after I had dropped it off, which worked within my time frame. She pressed the dress and put it in a travel bag for me. The dress fit me very well; it was strapless, and during the wedding and reception I never felt uncomfortable in it. The other bridesmaids had their dresses altered by someone else and had to pin the sides several times during the wedding day because their alterations were not done very well. I was a little shocked by the price, but I have never had any other dresses altered in the Chicago area, so I do not have anyone to compare Ruth's pricing to. [Price included fitting, dress shortened, bustle put in, sides taken in, stitch in bust area, cups put in, pressed, travel bag. I think that is everything!] I feel confident in recommending Ruth to anyone who wants to make sure their dress is altered properly and done well!

Ruth was recomended to me by family members who had been happy with her work in the past. The initial fitting was very quick and Ruth knew just what to change to make my bridesmaid dress more comfortable and more flattering. When the zipper that was original to the dress broke at the second fitting she replaced it on the spot and didn't even charge me! Ruth will provide the personal attention and convenience that I don't think you will get at one of the bigger bridal shops.

I attended a number of weddings this fall, and Ruth altered the bridesmaids dresses for the two I stood up to. I had been feeling stressed about my dresses, but Ruth took the stress right out of the picture with her friendly, professional, and quality work. She made them fit great, and I looked like a princess standing up to both weddings! Additionally, she provided great friendly service. I will definitely go back to her!

I have just used Ruth's alteration skills again within a 3 month time period and am so extremely pleased with her work. The 1st dress I had needed to be taken in about 2 inches. It fit like a glove after alterations. The 2nd dress was a lot more complicated. I needed it to be a size larger. Ruth's skill and ability was so pronounced because today when I went to try on my dress, it was amazing!!! I was able to zip it up and it, too, fit like a glove.

Ruth is very dependable, communicates and returns calls promptly. I would and have been recommending her to my family and friends.

It it without hesitation that I highly recommend Ruth for ANY alterations!
