Sewing & Alterations in Washington

“Great place for your everyday tailoring needs and all the special pieces you treasure.“

“I can't recommend Mrs. Lam enough! Wedding dress alterations can be stressful, but she made the whole process so easy. She was incredibly kind, patient, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing.

My dress needed several alterations, and she made it fit perfectly. At every appointment, she took the time to make sure everything looked and felt right, and I never felt rushed. By the time I picked it up, it honestly felt like the dress was made just for me.

On my wedding day, I didn't have to think about my dress once, it was comfortable, fit beautifully, and stayed exactly how it should all day and night. I'm so grateful for Mrs. Lam's attention to detail and the care she put into her work. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your wedding dress, she's the one!“

“Debonair is conveniently located for me, but has been very reliable over the past year. I've been able to bring jackets, shirts, and a suit and have them cleaned well. They stick to their estimates (I've only requested something cleaned quickly once - they managed within the day I needed). I am pleased with their services and recommend to others.“

“Jamie takes great care of your clothes and does an excellent job cleaning them. Highly recommend especially for delicate items!“

“I had a truly stellar experience with Barr Cleaners' pick-up and delivery. They were super accommodating of my schedule and circumstances, and the turn around was very reasonable despite DC's biggest snow storm in several years! Cannot recommend them enough.“

“Cannot recommend this place enough. Brought in a satin dress with a huge stain and they successfully removed the entire spot. Very friendly and fast!“

“Really quick and quality service with great flexibile hours and pretty reasonably prriced“

“I can’t say enough good things about Cleveland Park Valet. The quality is always spot on, whether it is dry cleaning, alterations, or shoe repairs. Bobby and Peter are absolute pros and a pleasure to deal with every time. They even offer notary services for a tiny fee and handle it quickly and professionally, which has saved me more than once. The parking in the back is a huge bonus now that the Cleveland Park service lane is gone. And as a sweet final touch, they are always so kind to my beagle, who now expects a friendly hello and a treat whenever we stop by. Truly one of those neighborhood businesses that makes life easier and brighter. I recommend them wholeheartedly.“

“Best drycleaners . The owner is very helpful, very nice, very professional, and super quick. Love these guys, highly recommend.“

“I am pleased to highly recommend President Valet II. I am very particular about the establishment that cleans or performs alterations on my garments which are individually tailored for me. And President Valet II does stellar work on both counts.

I brought in a winter casual coat that I favor but whose coat pockets had seen better days. I went to one seamstress who stated nothing could be done to salvage the pockets. However, Mrs. Kim came to the rescue and performed some masterful stitching repairs. I am quite happy.

I must say they are pricey, but the quality of the work performed and the peace of mind I have regarding their professional integrity allays my concerns. Indeed, I truly get what I pay for.“

“Greatest service. They truly care about their customers and are so thoughtful. Reasonable prices, quick turnarounds, and in a great location that’s easy to visit. Can’t recommend them enough!“

“These workers work tirelessly and are so polite and the speed of their work is unmatched. Anything u need from them, tailoring, seeing, dry cleaning. Please go here. 10/10“

“Great service. They’ve always successfully taken stains out and made my clothes look fresh. Great alterations too. I’ve had many suits altered there, both jackets and pants.“

“Took an alteration very last minute and got it done quickly. They do great work. Super kind and accommodating and great prices!“

“They did an incredible job on complicated suit jacket alterations and are very kind and easy to work with.“

“I used Stephen the Tailor many years ago to help me chop up a hand me down leather jacket that no one else would help me with, and the results were great. Fast forward to now, and I had a similar, excellent experience. I brought in my wedding dress - which I bought at a sample sale and would not be able to easily replace - that needed to be hemmed (though it was lace, and a mermaid shape, so required some attention to detail). I wasn't so sure at the start, but Nikola help walk me through what he was going to do and how he would make it fit. He even drew pictures to show me what he was going to do. I picked it up this week and he did an excellent job. I'd highly recommend them, particularly for the harder tasks!“

“I just completed the Intro to Sewing Classes 1-3 and am so proud of the progress I made over the course of these sessions thanks to Ms. Antoinette. Ms. Antoinette is an exceptional instructor because she teaches in a way that encourages students to learn-by-doing and instills the skills and confidence to be an independent sewer by the end of the class. Her teaching style provides clear communication and direct feedback, guidance, and encouragement. Direct feedback and guidance may feel intimidating to some students, but I've found it invaluable when developing a new skill like sewing because it requires such attention to detail. Ms. Antoinette maintains a well structured class and her home studio is very clean and comfortable. Attending class quickly became a highlight of my week. I now consider myself a sewer thanks to Ms. Antoinette.“

“J.r. was professional and went above and beyond to get my stuff since I came in earlier than expected.“

“An excellent family business with a talented seamstress who tailors all my clothes for me. I've been a loyal customer for several years now. Their prices are very competitive, turnaround time is reliably quick, and the staff are unfailingly friendly.“

“The seamstress here is so kind, professional, and consistently does spectacular alterations. On one occasion, time there was a mistake (took in too much fabric for a waistline alternation) and the seamstress made necessary corrections quickly and at no extra cost.“

“10/10 amazing service we had an emergency zipper break an hour before a wedding it was fixed in less than 30 min with amazing skill and hospitality at an unbelievably affordable price thank you so much!“

“Besson’s Cleansing Inc. does great work and always delivers quality results. They handle alterations really well—everything fits perfectly and looks professionally done. Their prices are very fair for the area, and the staff is friendly, honest, and easy to work with. It’s always a pleasant experience coming here, and I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable service and great value.“

“Reliable and take excellent care of my garments, and affordable and high quality simple alterations.“

“I have used Parks Fabricare many times and have always been 200% satisfied, they are careful, efficient, kind, and they provide excellent service for tailoring and drycleaning.“

“I've been taking my clothes to Harvey's cleaners for more than 20 years. I'm wearing some of the same outfits from 20 years ago. They keep my clothes looking like new.“
