This Man knows what he is doing .

Bethany Grimm

Very nice family run business. They gave me the personal attention that you would expect and seldom receive anymore. They altered one dress and two suits in a timely fashion. Very pleased with their attention to detail. Will definitely use again.

Bethany Pomije

Truly amazing to work with. Went in to get a bridesmaid dress altered. Being 6 months pregnant, they worked with me to get the best fit as close to the wedding as possible. Sure enough, it fits amazingly! Will definitely be going back for future alterations.

Ashish Shah

always get my pants hemmed and tapered here. Great service

Latee Pratt

The best I've known by far!!!!! I have been coming faithfully to express for 10 years since I got my wedding dress altered. She's done 3 BM dresses and all of my clothing. I refuse to go anywhere else. LaLa is very kind, gentle, detailed, understanding and gets your items done in a timely matter. I have never had to take anything back after for corrections. The best seamstress ever!! xoxoxoxo

Express Alterations is AMAZING! I went there for wedding dress alterations and she did an amazing job with my complicated dress. She was timely and affordable. I will be heading back there for all future alteration needs.

Cayla Ciszek

I’m in a wedding on the 13th and this is the first wedding I’m in. I lost a lot of weight since the first fitting in February. I took it in at the beginning of September because my mom told me about her place near my house. She was AMAZING. So kind, polite and professional. She made conversation and told me right away the price of the alteration. It was a very fair price considering how many layers and inches she had to take off. The dress is beautiful. I love it. I will definitely be going to her again and have recommended people to her already! Thank you!!

Sarah Torres

fast and great service! I came to Lela with about 3.5 weeks until my wedding date for some wedding dress alterations. I only needed for it to be taken in. She estimated about a 2 week return rate because it was the middle of prom and wedding season. She was able to complete the alterations earlier than expected so I appreciated that. The dress came out perfect and the price was great. I also love how this is a family business.

George Benson

Amanda Farrell

Great prices, great turn around time, and very sweet and kind. I will be back and will be telling more about her.

Stevie Kass

I have been to a few "well-known" and "popular" tailors in the Milwaukee area and this business beats every experience I've ever had thus far. They are the epitome of small business; professional, personal, and thrives on every clients' satisfaction. Also, their prices are reasonable for the services they offer. They have done suits for me (suit jackets, suit separates, shirts, all in a timely fashion. They are up-to-par and knowledgable in the latest fits, cuts, styles, and trends from Europe to home. They will exceed your expectations above and beyond what you expect from a typical tailor/alterer. Need something within five days to a week? They will find the time to get what you need finished without losing quality service. Thank you, Express Alterations, for always making me look the best and exceeding my expectations!

Jennie Stonehouse

Excellent tailoring every time! I have been going there for many years and have ALWAYS been impressed the perfectionist work that they do. The prices are great and the owners are really kind, friendly and great to work with. I would highly recommend them for easy mending or extremely complicated altering, they do it all. Look no further, this is the best place to go, also wonderful to see a family run business that cares so much about their customers!

David Kang

I just visited here for the first time and had a few shirts and sport coats altered. I could not be more happy with the work that was done. The customer service is great and their prices are very reasonable. I've struggled with finding clothes that fit really well and finally learned that you just really need to connect with a good tailor. I plan on returning often. I highly recommend them.

Kayla O'Leary

Jenny Gardipee

Great service. Fixed my daughter's prom dress the day before prom. She is definitely a life saver. I highly recommend her for all your alteration needs. I've taken many things to her and have never been disappointed.

Shane Kunde

I brought two hockey jerseys in to get altered. The stitching is better than the original. The jerseys look great. Outstanding work.

Kara Kaczmarek

The woman was very pleasant and quick while getting the measurements needed to alter my bridesmaids dress for my sisters wedding. My other sister was getting her dress altered here as well, with her estimated cost for an express alteration at $135. Pretty expensive considering she just needed a hem and the straps needed to be shortened. Knowing I had about 4in that needed to come off my waist as well as what my sister had done I knew mine would be a bit more. I was shocked when the lady said it would be $175, but had no other option at that point and all the reviews for this place were great. So I thought I’ll get over it if the dress fits like a glove. It didn’t. My straps were tightened so much that the armpits were digging into my arm yet the straps were falling off my shoulder. My bust had extra room in it even with a padded bra on. AND the inches (that cost me extra money) weren’t even all the way taken in. The only good alteration on this dress was the hem. With tax I ended up paying $197, the alterations almost cost as much as the $225 dress and it doesn’t even fit right. Same goes for my sisters, she had all the same issues as I did after her alterations. I guess that’s the price we pay for not getting it done sooner. The other issue I had was there was no AC in the building (or they chose to not run it on a 80+ degree day) when I went to get it fit so I got sweat stains on my dress and at that price I figured maybe they would clean it. That must’ve been expecting too much. Take my advice: If you have time to make sure it’s done properly I’m sure this is a great place, but don’t tell them you’re on a time crunch or they will charge you up the ass knowing you have no option but to pay.

I have gotten a couple fairly delicate and intricate dresses altered here. Their work was timely and immaculate! Customer service offered here is warm, inviting and professional. I have already recommended this establishment to friends and family! Keep up the good work! :)

Guy Fiorentini

Not only have I received excellent alterations at fair prices and friendly service, but they just fixed a pair of pants that I thought may have been ruined by my cat, while I waited. The cat got her claws into the pants and put a big ugly run down the side and a couple of snags but now they look good. Highly recommended!

Jeanne Bell

Layla does a great job.

Marie Pelicaric

Amanda Jeske

I had bought a new two layer winter coat for my boyfriend, and it was way too wide for him. I brought it in to Express Alterations, and she was able to take in the coat an inch on each side, and make an absolutely perfect new seam. Now it fits perfectly, and he loves the coat. I will be bringing in another jacket of his to her to have a new zipper put in as well!

Andy Weyer

I had a couple of suits and shirts tailored here - they did a phenomenal job, and the prices were incredibly reasonable. I will be going back in the future for sure, and highly recommend this place to anyone who needs to have their clothes altered.

Jaemi Cummins

Excellent customer service. I needed a bridesmaid dress altered within a week and they did a beautiful job. I would highly recommend!

siddharth sinha

Superb experience! Extremely accommodating , helpful and the work done was spot on!

Chris Dudley

I cannot say enough about the quality of the work, how quickly the turnaround is and the how affordable their service is. I won't take my clothes anywhere else. Highly recommended!

Jose Campos

Rachel Greiner

Express Alterations is the best. Whether it's a small job like pants being hemmed or a complicated bridesmaid dress she is quick, professional and kind. Don't waste your time going anywhere else!

Nicole Jake

They did a bridesmaid dress for me, got it done in one day and it fit perfectly! Also, very friendly.

Gabe Oland

Excellent tailoring, super friendly service. I'm a young guy and was looking for a slim, stylish European cut for my suit. Despite the fact that I hardly knew the lingo to describe what I wanted, they got it exactly right. Lela's the best.

Kathryn Koch

Great customer service. The owner is so sweet and did a great job on my bridal gown! Definitely recommend and will use her for future alterations!

Glen Pavlovich

My suit was done sooner than expected and the workmanship and style was spot on.

(Photos attached are the before photo, the pick-up day photo, and a wedding day photo) This shop is amazing! Feel 1,000 % confident taking anything and everything here. She truly understands how your clothes should fit, and also listens to how you'd like them to fit. She took the very old wedding dress I wanted to wear and listened to the changes I wanted to make like shortening the sleeves, adding decals from my mother-in-law's wedding dress, and also solved the problem of the dress being too small, using the leftover sleeve fabric to close the gap in the back. I am forever grateful for all of her help. I will certainly be back for any other alteration needs! She is always busy, brides! And for good reason. So find your perfect dress, take it in early before the wedding, and feel no stress knowing that you'll be well taken care of :)

Jackie Polecastro

They have altered 3 bridesmaids dresses for me . They also fixed a coat that I had ripped and made it look as good as new! All alterations are done so quickly and the cost is so reasonable. Plus the people who work there are so sweet and wonderful. I went in there once for an emergency bridesmaid dress alteration and was so pleased with the service that I don't want to ever go anywhere else! Thanks, Express Alterations!

Kaylee Campbell

Beautiful work and finished sooner than expected. Extremely nice, excellent customer service. I'll definitely go back!

Brought 2 of my work shirts here because they were way too big. They are now the best fitting pair of shirts I have ever owned. You will not be disappointed.

Rebekah Thome

She did a fantastic job. My dress fit perfectly :) I will go back here with any alteration needs. She also wonderfully altered my sisters wedding dress from a size 10 to a 6, and it was all lace. It looks amazing on her.

Sarah El-Ali

Very nice job on my husbands slacks. He was not able to come in for the fitting, so I dropped them off with a request to take off six inches. The owner was very accommodating and expedited the return date so he had them in time for our trip! Thank you and we will definitely be back again

Kirtida Parikh

Olivia Palm

Best tailor in Milwaukee by far.

Kathy Brkich

Always professional & does an amazingly job. I've been coming here for years.

Megan Thomas

Great shop, conveniently located close to state fair. I had a rush alteration needed due to being very disappointed with service at another location... wont mention that name here - but awesome AWESOME experience with Express Alterations! Very friendly shop, my alteration needed to be done in less than a week, and got my dress back right on time. Not to mention the quality was wonderful. Very reasonably priced. Thank you again!

Meredith Palmer

Did an amazing job altering my bridesmaid dress! Would recommend 100%

Kurt Schultz

Prompt service and wonderful workmanship. Very friendly staff. Its a pleasure to do business with Express Alterations!

grant gallegos

I believe the above person was speaking of another place-perhaps the one buy safeways-- As far as the Express Alterations-This will be my place to go from here on in- Today I wore a pair of pants that I needed hemmed-in no time I was out of there with my other pants i brought. During this process I dropped a Hundred Dollar Bill- After seeking all places my mind could think-I called the Express Alterations and before I could finish --"You dropped a Hundred" was stated. Now it was My negligence - But The Honesty shall bring Great Karma and another thank you to -well for now mrs-Sew N SEw -lol Grant

C.L. Whiteside

Tailored a suit and sports jacket for me. She's awesome and is so kind. They treat you like family and communicate well!

Sarah Maxwell

Absolutely amazing job in such short notice. I am so pleased with my dress and the alterations were better than I had even expected. 10/10 A+ family business.

Connor Darrow

Great, friendly, and fast!

I had ordered a suit for a wedding but in my stupidity i failed to notice the pants were not hemmed until the day of. I dropped by Express hoping for the impossible since I would need it done in an hour. They accommodated my need and were so amazing and polite and the measurements and final product were perfect. I will be taking all of my tailoring needs here going forward and cannot recommend them enough!

Excellent tailors & Seamstresses

After trying multiple tailors in the Milwaukee area I've finally found a great one. Fast turn around, great work, reasonable prices, and friendly. Can't recommend enough.

Meredith Anderson

Excellent work!!

Mollye Barrett

Express Alterations is a great service. They are friendly and listen carefully to my requests. I am always happy with the quick, thorough service and reasonable prices.

Whitlow's Security

I needed a pair of snowmobile pants zipper repaired or replaced before the weekend. We had a trip planned. The women told me they don’t replace zippers but she will attempt to fix. She called me back and said it needs to be replaced and they don’t do that. When picking it up her dad said he would do it for me since I was in a bind. The next day I picked it up and was professionally done at a very reasonable price. Very nice people. I would highly recommend express alterations to anyone.

Patrick Goodwin

The lady was very nice, she said it would be done the day needed and on time but she called 2days early and had the pants done ready for pick up....very much appreciated

They really care about their customers!

I stumbled upon this place looking through these very reviews. I was a touch nervous when I arrived as the location is in a very unassuming strip mall. As this trip was specifically for the suit I am to be wearing in my wedding, I was hoping for it to turn out well, and put trust in the reviews. It paid off!! Unbelievable service and skill. The moment I walked in Layla was accommodating, patient and knowledgeable. This was the first suit I have had tailored, so my explanation of what I was looking for was far from succinct. Layla explained what worked and how to make it work. When I returned for my final alterations of sleeve and pants length, I was beside myself at how perfect the suit fit, and how exact it was to what I imagined, even with my poor description. Furthermore, in order for me to have the suit cleaned and pressed prior to the wedding, Layla stayed late to finish up the lengths so I had some extra time as precaution. Unbelievable service and craftsmanship. Recommend to everyone. Quick, affordable, quality and amazing customer service!!

Laura Salts

I live out of state and my kids were going to be part of a wedding nearby. Unfortunately we didn't realize that our youngest's suit didn't fit until we were driving up there... two days before the big event. I frantically called three different places, all of which told me they couldn't do it in that short amount of time - one of them was even rude about it! Dejected, I called Express Alterations and the amazing woman that answered said that they closed at 6pm, bring it over any time before closing and she would have it done by tomorrow. BY TOMORROW! When I got there she kindly chatted with me about my trip while I dressed my boy and spent several minutes talking to me about options (the alterations were more complicated than I thought because the location of the back pockets and how much she had to take in) until we were both satisfied with the projected outcome. She was efficient, the suit looked GREAT on my little guy, and the rates were reasonable - especially considering it was a rush job. HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

Rebecca Thome

My daughter purchased a designer gown at crazy markdown but needed alterations done. They went online to find the designers plans and remade the dress to fit perfectly. I was shocked at how reasonable the final charge was since they had to take the dress apart and remake it. I have used them four times for very important dresses and they were done in a reasonable period of time and I have no complaints at all of the work done. I will take all future business to them and recommend them highly.

Joan Questell

Needed a bridesmaid dress done and she did a wonderful job. With length and making sure my top was perfectly fitted. I would definitely go back. Friendly, small family business, great customer service and good timing. Thanks!

Jesse Heaton

I brought a new suit in last minute for some alterations and she was able to accommodate. The suit fit perfectly and the cost was reasonable. I will be recommending this place to others!

Mary Jo Ortiz

Great job, great service! She was extremely accommodating, esp. as it was for my son’s wedding!

Greg Ballering

kelly pelicaric

My daughter had several dresses altered, the work is amazing and the prices are very good

Elizabeth Saksefski

I came to get a dress altered only 3 weeks before I was supposed to stand up in a wedding last fall. Instead of turning me away, Lela worked with me to get the perfect fit even though the dress was too long and too small! I’m so thankful and will tell the world about my great experience.
