Sewing & Alterations in Seattle

“I had a great experience with these lovely folks this past week. They were able to hem my Halloween costume dress in a tight timeframe and did a wonderful job! I would absolutely return here for future alterations.“

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

“I took 5 pants in for miscellanous alterations/repairs. The price was higher than I expected for the work done, but it was still worth it to me. I had a hole repaired in jeans, two pants altered at the waist, a zipper repair, and a pocket repair. The quality of the work is great and I am very happy with the results. I will come back if I ever need alterations or repairs because the quality of the work is superb. Julie was also very nice and takes her time with each customer to make sure they have time to get exactly what they want.“

“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 needed a last-minute hemming job on a pair of dress pants and found this spot. I was in town for the weekend from Portland and Ms. Kim reminded of the place I go to back home for alterations. After looking at the reviews, it seems like she does simple repairs and hemming. She might also be working solo. I came in on a Saturday afternoon and tried my luck asking if she could help me out. I had a plan to try a few other places if she tuned me down. She said she wasn’t too busy and could finish the job in an hour. I left to run a few errands and she had just finished right before the 1 hour mark. She refused cash and told me to pay with card. It was $35 and I wish she would’ve charged me more for the rush job. She was so kind and sweet. I will definitely use her again in the future.“

“Best alterations service in north Seattle - I've been coming here for many years and the work is always top-notch and reasonably priced.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent alterations! I’ve had two things altered— I had a bridesmaids dress hemmed and I had a pair of pants let out. Both were completed very quickly and perfectly! The pants I was especially impressed by because they were plaid but you couldn’t tell they were altered— the pattern wasn’t disrupted! I am very happy with the service here and will continue to visit them for any dry cleaning/alteration needs.“

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

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

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

“I’ve been coming here since 2013 and now since moving to a different neighborhood I still come here for all our dry cleaning, repairs and alterations. This business is a model of conscientious customer care and service. And the fairest pricing in Seattle, in my experience.“

“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!!“
