Sewing & Alterations in Seattle

“Very excellent job in taking in the waist of my jeans. The jeans were 14 oz raw denim (difficult to work with), so I was nervous, but it was perfect. Thank you!!“

“Helena’s did a great job on cleaning my clothes, and the convenience was wonderful!“

“The absolute best. The only place I trust with my clothes—whether for alterations or dry cleaning. I won’t take them anywhere else.“

“Super nice, friendly, and very satisfied with the clothes I brought for alterations. I got fatigue pants and wool jacket hemmed/dry cleaned for a good price, excellent service, and quick turnaround. Will definitely be coming back for any tailoring/professional cleaning needs. Thank you!“

“Went to get a bridesmaid dress hemmed because I thought it might be a bit too long, but she showed me how it was actually the right length, just longer than what I was used to. She easily could have just hemmed a couple inches and charged me, so I really appreciate her integrity. Will definitely be coming back here for future needs! Thank you!“

“I've never been let down by Helena's - in over 40 years being a customer at Lower Queen Anne.“

“I recently visited this tailor shop and had a very positive experience. The shop was clean, organized, and professionally managed, creating confidence in the quality of work provided. From the beginning, the tailor listened carefully to my requirements and gave helpful suggestions regarding fabric fitting, style, and design. Their polite behavior and attention to detail made the entire experience smooth and comfortable.

The quality of stitching and craftsmanship was excellent. The tailor took accurate measurements and ensured that every detail was completed properly. I was especially impressed by the neat finishing, perfect fitting, and professional appearance of the final outfit. Whether it was alterations, custom stitching, or repairs, the work was completed with great skill and precision.

Another thing I appreciated was the punctuality and professionalism shown throughout the process. The clothes were completed within the promised timeline, and the tailor maintained clear communication regarding pickup and adjustments. The staff members were also friendly and respectful, making the overall customer experience pleasant.“

“Got my wedding dress tailored, fit super well and they did it very quickly. They didn’t measure me which I thought was kind of odd but they did such a good job and my dress fit so well I had no complaints!“

“So very thankful I found Jody @ Blue Tulip Tailoring! I ordered a custom figure skating dress that arrived way too big and needed a lot of work. The sleeves were too long and too bulky, the waistline was unflattering and too big, the neckline was awful and the skirt was way too long.

She was able to see my vision, re-work the dress and make it exactly what I wanted! I don’t know how she did it, but she’s a miracle worker. 10/10 highly recommend!!

“I stumbled upon this location while looking for a dry cleaners to clean some formal wear - suit and dress. Not only were the prices some of the best I've found, but they went above and beyond to make them look like new. The suit had make up and water marks, both came out easily. My dress had self tanner, dirt from dragging around town, as well as a couple snags in the fabric on the chest - they got it all out! I had no idea snags were even possible to fix.

BLUF - Very talented and pocket friendly!“

“She did a great job hemming and ironing my wedding guest dress, and dry cleaning my husband’s three-piece suit. I’ll come here again for tailoring and dry cleaning needs!“

“We've tried many, MANY dry cleaners in and around Seattle, and Dexter Dry Cleaners far outranks its competitors. I have had several delicate and difficult alterations done here, including a chiffon layered pant for a wedding, and wow! Beautiful outcome every time. They do require an appointment for alterations now, so make sure to call ahead of time; that said, they are very accommodating for last minute appointments. They also do a great job with traditional dry cleaning service, and we could not be happier with how our garments come out.“

“I got a large stain on a wool suit Jacket 24 hours before a big event and they miraculously got the stain out without any issues. Very affordable prices and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend, especially if you need dry cleaning services in a pinch!“

“Been using Nu-Tone for years to clean my button up shirts. Always a great job and fair prices.“

“Love West Seattle Dry Cleaners especially for my bed linens. The best in town!! They bag comforters- and make me happy!!

“This is my go to cleaners for my wool Brooks Brothers suit that goes straight to the cleaners after every wedding and funeral.“

“This is a fantastic local business. The owners are efficient and kind and the pricing is fair. Can’t recommend more highly!“

“Very high quality and friendly service!

- The price is very reasonable
- The dry clean, and lauder & press services were high quality, with great attention to detail
- The staff was really warm and welcoming
- Turnaround time was quick
- Even the free chocolates they were handing out when I walked in were great

I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a dry cleaning place“

“I came in with 3 separate special requests and Magnolia Cleaners was experienced, thoughtful, and patient enough to help me with all 3 issues. #1: I brought a vintage family item in...my mother's prom dress that I was planning to wear for an official event in Washington D.C. and the owner and/or manager was able to help me trouble shoot the best way to clean it including spot checking the fabric for me...problem solved! #2: I brought in a brand new tie that had wine and oil spilled on it the first time it was worn and they were able to get the stains out. And #3: I've been paying what feels like an obnoxious amount of money to have my puffy jackets cleaned and they quoted me a rate that was significantly below what I pay to another speciality cleaner. I highly recommend Magnolia Cleaners!“

“Primo provided pants to a homeless neighbor in distress. A small business with a big heart! Great services all around!“

“I had a leather jacket, I had some fur put around the hood of it they did an excellent job exactly what I wanted ,my cat have peed on it and it smelled like pee but when I got it back it didn't smell like pee no more they're a little bit more expensive they remind me of the place I used to go down town to I wish they was closer to me I might have them do a couple more things for me but so far yeah they they the ones, they the ones they're a little bit more expensive but they got that pee smell out my coat I recommend this place my creases was on point my suit yeah this is the one I want to see how they clean these other things, that I'm going to bring to them if they clean them I'm going to put another review on for them I don't see how they 4.1 they should be five star“

“Reasonably priced, really quick turnaround time (literally less than a day, I had an urgent alteration after a dress I was going to wear in the evening broke) and kind!!“
