Fifi and Fifis Bridal is absolutely amazing!! My mom went there to get her mother of the bride dress, and we were blown away by the experience. Not only did Fifi go above and beyond to help my mom find her dress last minute, but she gained a lifelong customer through the experience! My moms dress was gorgeous and contrasted perfectly with the bridal party! I highly recommend Fifi to anyone looking for anything bridal wear related!!
I just bought my wedding dress from Fifi’s and could not be happier with my experience! They have a stunning selection of dresses and Fifi and her daughter were so sweet and enjoyable to work with. They made me feel so comfortable and made the process so easy and fun! I truly cannot speak highly enough of my experience or of Fifi and Amanda :)
Fifi and her team did an excellent job tailoring my wedding dress! I purchased an off the rack dress and brought it to Fifis Bridal for her to tailor only 2.5 months before my wedding. I only had to have 2 fittings and Fifi tailored my dress to make it fit like a glove, without breaking the bank! Highly recommend for a quick, efficient, and professional tailor. Thank you Fifi!
I have brought 3 dresses in such a short notice and Fifi as well as Amanda have been more than just accommodating. Fifi’s work is highly professional and always on time. I would recommend anyone to come in an have your alterations done by Fifi. I’m very happy with my dresses and I look forward to future work by Fifi !
Fifi is AMAZING! I purchased my wedding dress at a different bridal studio and when it arrived, they had ordered the wrong size. My dress was 2 sizes too big. When I brought it to Fifi I was nervous because it was an expensive dress that required a lot of intricate alterations. Fifi was able to magically alter the dress to fit me perfectly. I cannot thank her enough for saving my dress! If I ever need alterations again, I would not even consider going elsewhere. Fifi is so talented, professional, and kind. I wish I wouldve bought my wedding dress at her shop, she had a beautiful selection. Thank you Fifi and team for making this experience so positive and perfect!!
Truly one of the most talented tailors Ive ever met. Fifi is courteous, beyond talented and a wonderful human! She hemmed my dress in under 30 minutes so I wouldnt need to travel back there more than once before my friends wedding. She also helped my friend find the perfect wedding dress and provided an incredible experience for us both... trust her with all the things!!!
Highly recommend! I worked with Fifi and Ana to alter my wedding dress and they did an excellent job. It was done in a very timely manner and I never once doubted their work or timeline. Very friendly staff and everyone is very helpful.
Had a very great experience getting my wedding dress altered here!! This bridal shop did amazing work and was incredibly accommodating to changes that needed to be made. It is obvious that they want their customers to be satisfied and happy. Leaving your wedding dress with someone can be scary, but I Fifis did an amazing job.
I’ve been going to Fifi’s for many years as she is the only one I trust with my dresses because of her expertise in sewing and tailoring. She does an amazing job, and is a genuine kind hearted person who takes pride in her work. She specializes in wedding dresses so the day I get engaged, I know who I’m taking my wedding dress to!! She’s amazing!!
Fifi is fabulous. Her history, well she learned how to sew literally as a child…men’s suits we were told when inquiring as to her expertise. It shows in her knowledge and workmanship. Before my daughter’s wedding was over she altered my daughter’s Couture Martina Liana gown, my wife’s Mac Dougal gown and my three piece suit. All were flawless. As we all know weddings in general are stressful but Fifi together with her daughter Amanda set our worries at ease…did several fittings, pressed the gowns for my daughter and wife and all were ready for pickup in time for the big event with a professional yet personal touch. I wholeheartedly and highly recommend Fifi to all.
OMG Mrs Fifi is amazing. She was extremely helpful along with her daughter. I would definitely recommend them in the future to anyone that’s look for elegance. Some formal wear with class .. Mrs. Fifi did everything she could to accommodate my budget. I will be returning to her shop in the near future!!!Thank you Mrs. Fifi for your excellent service...
After many hours searching for a trusted business who could take the time and alter a dress that means the world to me I found Fifi and her amazing team. I lost my mother 11 years ago and when it came time to marry the man I was ment to spend the rest of my life with I knew I had to wear my mothers wedding dress. Only issue my body was not identical. My only request was to keep it as traditional as I could and just like that Fifi and her team was able to work their magic within my budget. Whether you are looking for a new dress or alter a family dress stop your search you found your lady and her team!
Fifi and her team are the best to work with! My wedding gown fit perfect! Thank you Fifi & Anna & Amanda!
Fifi was a complete nightmare to work and communicate with from the very beginning. She asked for a credit card on account and for a deposit and then charged the full amount. The wedding was postponed due to covid and she refused to return the dress for over a year. The dress fittings included argument with what the bride wanted and an apparent inability to remember what had been discussed previously. The dress wasnt ready until less than a week before the wedding- and it wasnt clean or pressed. The bride left every fitting in tears. Buyer beware!
If it was not for Fifi I would have never gotten the dress of my dreams. It was really interesting because I was at first reluctant to even try on my dress because I was 3 months post pregnancy and I was convinced it was not going to let good. Fifi is very good at what she does and could tell my body type and figure regardless of having just had a child. She convinced me to try it on and it was MY dress. (Every bride understands what that means.) While the dress was gorgeous I did request some additions to be made with some blue applique flowers and Fifi was happy to do it for me. She was so great throughout the entire process and I would not have been such a beautiful bride in the perfect dress without her. I would definitely stop to see her and talk to her when looking for that perfect aw inspiring dress for your wedding day. You cannot get any better care and attention than from Fifi. She loves what she does and she is amazing.
Love Fifi’s energyShe has an amazing selection. Great customer service, the team goes out of their way to understand and help you achieve your vision.
Fifi and team did an amazing job tailoring my wedding dresses and changing them too, custom details added to the vision I wanted! She’s very warm and friendly too and will treat you like Family. Prior to getting my dresses altered, she did last minute altering to other cocktail dresses when I needed something in a bind. She’s great at what she does 👏🏽❤️
Fifi and staff were knowledgeable and extremely helpful. My wedding dress was absolutely perfect and all ahead of schedule. Loved the shop and the available accessories. Private appointments make the one on one planning for your big day very simple. I was so grateful to allow a master to handle these details for me. Highly recommended!
I went here to get some jeans altered and she did a great job! Im always a bit hesitant when it comes to jean alterations since some places make them way too short, but the length was perfect and she was able to work within a tight time frame! I found my new place for alterations
I bought my wedding dress from Fifi 6 years ago and we are still friends. She truly cares for her clients and treats them like family. Amazing dresses and very personalized experience!
If you need alterations, please only choose Fifis!I have referred all of my friends who were getting married. She did my military uniform, and now my wedding dress. They make sure every single detail is absolutely perfect, and make the most artistic suggestions that I wouldnt even think about, which ended up making my dress look 100 times better!!!Love this place!!
I love Fifi’s Bridal! I’ve used her twice and she always makes the alterations perfect! Highly recommend!
I cannot say enough about Fifi’s Bridal & Custom Tailoring! I came to Fifi about a year ago with my 1960’s wedding dress, worn by both my mother and my grandmother. It was so important to me to wear this gown on my big day, but the gown badly needed alterations and cleaning. First, Fifi had the dress cleaned. The dress was an aged yellow color to begin with (my mom actually never properly preserved it) and when it came back, it was a beautiful shade of ivory. She then took off the sleeves per my request, updated the lace, and tailored it beautifully to fit my frame. Fifi took my dreams for my wedding dress and turned them into a reality, and the dress turned out better than I could have ever imagined! It both had both the history and meaning of my mother and grandmother wearing it, and the uniqueness of being MY wedding dress. If you are considering wearing your mother’s wedding dress, I would 100% recommend it because it is truly so special, and if you need a tailor to turn that dream into a reality, I 100% recommend taking it to Fifi’s Bridal & Custom Tailoring!
I purchased my wedding dress and jewelry from FiFi’s and I had an awesome experience. This small business have a big heart for helping to make you beautiful for your big day. The cost of the dresses is reasonable for the quality of dress. Also the dresses are timeless. FiFi’s boutique is 2 Nd to none. Her and her staff makes the wedding dress buying experience wonderful. Don’t buy until you try FiFi’s ❤️
Very professional, experience, you will be happy when you leave
By far the best place to go for your wedding. Ive been to 3 different stores before this, and none compare. Fifi is an absolute treasure, and you can tell she truly loves people. She works so hard to make you happy and welcomes people in as if theyre old friends. Make sure to stop by, meeting Fifi has easily been one of the best parts of my wedding planning experience. The store itself is charming and filled with the most gorgeous dresses. There are lovely seating areas for your bridal party, complete with 3 pedestals to stand on and see the gown from all angles. Make an appointment, you wont regret it!
Very good service, I love the ladies that work here!
Fifi was so sweet and responsive even though I did not buy my wedding dress at her boutique! I chose to get my veil and jewelry through her because she has an eye for it and complemented the small details in my dress perfectly while the previous boutique was just not listening to what I was looking for! It was such a relief to find her! Thank you for truly listening to what I wanted and leading me to the perfect accessories!
Hard to get a hold of but once you do, it is seamless from there!
Fifi is a Godsend. The customized dress that I purchased from a different shop arrived 2 weeks before the wedding in awful shape and was not customized to me at all. In a panic, I found Fifi’s shop, and she immediately began to brainstorm as to how she can fix my dress. She considered my dress high priority and within 2 days, she had the majority of the problem completely fixed. Her team continued to work on my dress tirelessly over the next week without any hesitation. She is a wedding dress saver, and I felt so taken care of. She made me feel like my dress was of the utmost importance to her, and that speaks volumes of her business model and the way she treats all of her clients. I could not have had as beautiful of a dress if it were not for Fifi and her team!!! They are so prompt, so professional, and they are amazing problem solvers!! Rest assured that you can put all of your trust in Fifi! She is amazing.
Great knowledge of my daughters dress and best way to make sure it fit like a glove
My friend and I went to 4 different stores looking for the perfect wedding dress. Fifis by FAR was the best customer service we received all day. Fifi is unbelievably kind, warm, and friendly. She makes you feel like family from the moment you step foot in the shop, and her top priority is making the bride feel happy. Thank you Fifi for your amazing hospitality! And cant wait for the final product!
I came to Fifi to get my dress altered for my wedding. During the initial appointment, she was VERY pushy and kept trying to get me to agree to all these things I didnt want- such as professional steaming. I told her NO multiple times. Flash forward a couple months and now its time for my final fitting. Well, my wedding has been postponed due to COVID, and I dont feel comfortable seeing her for an appointment. I ask if we can reschedule the fitting for next year (when the wedding is rescheduled) or if she can cancel the final fitting and offer some kind of refund. She refuses. Fine. I pay the full price for less than what I got. I come pick up the dress, and she tells me she actually CHARGED ME for the steaming. What!! She says she needs to give me a $145 refund, but her card scanner isnt working, so she needs my card number and security code. How sketchy!!! I give it to her because I want my money back. I never get the refund 2 weeks later, so I call her AGAIN. She is all flustered and freaks out and says she was mistaken- I dont deserve a refund but she will steam my dress for free?? By this time I am sketched out and want nothing to do with her. I say NO THANK YOU and I order a new debit card so that she cant scam me anymore. I do NOT recommend Fifi. The actual alterations on my dress were fine (hence 2 stars and not 1), but the process was NOT WORTH IT.
I needed a place to get my wedding dress altered because the place I bought my dress did not do alternations. I had driven past Fifis and decided to go with them after reading positive reviews. Fifi was wonderful to work with! She explained all the changes she was going to make with my dress at my first appointment and recommended I purchase a petticoat to provide more volume to the bottom of my mermaid style dress. I was hesitant at first but she had my try it on and I could really see what a difference it made. The finished product was beautiful and my dress fit me perfectly. I would highly recommend Fifi and plan on going back for future alterations.
Fifi is unbelievably amazing and I cannot recommend her services highly enough! She is so, so sweet and went above and beyond to alter my wedding dress, which was no easy task! I had purchased a dress that I loved but was far too revealing on top, and she was able to completely redesign the top while still keeping the dress looking like the original. She also last minute completely redid the liner fabric in a different color to make sure it looked as beautiful as possible and matched the unusual color of my dress, and I was so thrilled with the end result. I will only be going to Fifi for any alterations needs in the future, and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend her to family and friends (which I already did - my mom got her dress for my wedding altered here as well and she was equally happy with the result). Thank you so, so much Fifi - you are the best!
Fifi is AMAZING! My mom and I went in after a few other experiences, but this was by far the best. I found “the one” with Fifi’s help right away, and she made the whole trip fun and easy!
FIFI IS A LIFE SAVER!I purchased my wedding dress from a different store over a year ago and when it came time for alterations they left me cold and in the dark, this was before COVID as well. I did a little research and found Fifi, who promptly made me an appointment for the same week to come in. When I arrived to the shop she was so warm and inviting and the customer service was superb! Now to the dress, the original store ended up sizing me incorrectly and I ended up with a dress 2 sizes too big and wayyy too long. Fifi really has her work cut out for her, but in just one months time the dress fit amazingly. She also made me a custom veil using my moms tulle. and lace. Overall an incredible experience and I will recommend her to any and every future bride. She saved my wedding (even though it was postponed) and I cant wait to wear this in a few months for our small ceremony.
I must say Fifi is one of the best. I got married 3 yrs ago and had 2 wedding gowns that Fifi altered to fit me like a glove. I mean it was perfectly fitted to every inch of my body which I absolutely loved. She was a lot of fun to work with and she has a lot of sass which was my favorite thing about her. She is such a unique talented soul. Love her and can’t wait to work with her again. Thanks for everything Fifi.....
I would definitely recommend visiting this store, they provide excellent customer service. They are very attentive to your requests and are friendly. I am more than happy to have been able to find my wedding gown at Fifis.
Absolutely one of the best places you can go. Fifi is always a tremendous help and is really great at what she does, along with the other seamstress she has on hand. By far one of the best places for customer service. Shes really there for you from start to finish❤
I had a great experience having my wedding gown, which was all lace altered by Fifi. She did an impeccable job and I love her personality. She had me laughing at each appointment and also really care about helping me look amazing on the most important day of my life. The proof is in the product and my husband was stunned. Needless to say, many tears were shed by him as I walked down the aisle. I will definitely be going back for all of my tailoring needs and you should too! Excellent service, quality and pricing.
AMAZING in one word. Very good is the experience when you walk into the salon. I am very satisfied with the final result for my wedding dress. I came here with a dress I bought somewhere else and Fifi worked with me on price, not to mention she is such a sweet woman and makes you feel like family. My wedding is this Saturday April 6, 2019. My dress fits me like a glove thanks to the hard work of Fifi. I recommend her services 100% and will be coming back for any future tailoring needs. Thank you so much Fifi. 🤗💜
Fifi was great to work with! I had a very hard time finding a wedding dress because I wanted something very specific and not strapless. I finally found a gorgeous dress that had everything I wanted but it was strapless, so I bought it and she made added a top piece for me to make it not strapless. She did such an amazing job no one could ever tell that piece was added on, she took lace from the dress itself to make it so it looked perfect. She made me feel beautiful on my wedding day!
Fifi is phenomenal, I highly recommend her services! She altered my wedding dress and my mother in laws dress. She’s quick, very knowledgeable, she listens to what you want and offers guidance from her many years of experience. I couldn’t be happier with how our dresses turned out. Thank you, Fifi, for a wonderful experience and your laid back attitude, you’re a pro!! 💕
I was looking for a wedding dress alterations place and found Fifis online. Fifi is so talented and passionate; she knew exactly what alterations needed to be made to have the dress fit me and the vision I was going for. I love the family vibe when you walk into Fifis. She made me feel reassured and really is invested in making her brides satisfied. After checking out the store- there are so many beautiful dresses- I regret not going to Fifis to look for my dress. They also have a nice selection of dresses for special occasions. I did buy my cathedral veil at Fifis. I cant wait for my second fitting! - Anna J
OMG FI FI and her associates Are amazing !!! I ordered a dress off line and it was nothing like the picture. I found Fi Fi online and took it in for alterations and the results were Beautiful!!! I mean she really saved my wedding because all of this was two weeks prior to the wedding🙌🏽
Very sweet family business. Fifi is the quick, talented, and no nonsense owner who made my alterations and bustle on my dress, beautifully. Her daughter is extremely sweet and lovely, and provided great service throughout my dress shopping and fitting appointments. Even though I did not buy my dress here, I am so glad I came in for alterations. Recommend!
Fifi is amazing! She fixed my dress last minute and it fit perfectly! She made my prom dress look amazing on me! She is so sweet and caring. I highly recommend Fifi to anyone who needed there dress altered! Everyone I know is always satisfied with the results! The best part about Fifi’s Tailor is that she makes you feel at home and always greets your with a friendly hug!
I dont usually write reviews but I thought that my experience with Fifis tailor warrants it. I use a tailor quite a bit and would drive downtown to have my cloths done. I switched to Fifis after having some articles tailored...after being at my previous guy for 10 years. They are extremely proficient and professional. Fifi is an absolute delight to deal with, and the end product is always perfect. Plus they do original bottoms on jeans! I would highly recommend anybody who needs tailoring done to use them, and Im confident you will feel the same after your experience.
Fifis shop is unlike any of the other bridal shops you will visit. The store layout is amazing. Wide space, excellent lighting with one big room specifically for alterations and another for trying on dresses.The fitting rooms are spacious and is the perfect environment to really see how the dress fits. Other bridal shops were very small and narrow and did not even compare to here. Beautiful shop. Fifi is also such a warm hearted and wonderful person. She treats each and every one of her customers with care and makes sure everything is right. She is extremely talented and has such beautiful dresses. Save your time and come to Fifis!
Fifi is the best! Not only is she is super sweet and makes you feel like family, she did an awesome job fitting me for my bridesmaids dress in March. I was comfortable all night. Thanks Fifi and I super excited about you now fitting and fixing my wedding Dress!! 😘 you will be my go to girl every time.
Fifi is the best! Upon walking into her beautiful shop, she made me feel very comfortable and certain that she would be able to fix BOTH of my prom dresses. She offers fast and great service at reasonable prices that I am pretty sure you wont find anywhere else. My first dress was ready in less than a week! Im so glad I found Fifi and her shop. I attached a picture of my first dress.
I went in for my fitting with a dress I had ready bought. I was nervous and unsure if Fifi would be able to do everything that needed to be done. She made me feel comfortable and at ease. I cannot wait for my next fitting.
Fifi is a wonderful seamstress. She has altered my suits for the past 3 years. Highly skilled and professional. Thank You Fifi!
Fifi is incredibly talented. I bought a sample wedding dress that was about a size 12, Im a size 4, and she made it fit perfectly! She had me come in for four fittings to assure it was perfect. Since I got the dress for a deal, and it was a designers dress, I did not mind the cost of the alterations because it had to be taken in everywhere. Fifi made me feel at ease about this whole process. Im confident she could take on the most complicated of alterations after this!
I came to Fifis last summer with a suit I bought online that needed tailoring. I needed it for a wedding that was less than a week away. Fifi was able to work her wonderful magic with what little time I gave her.My wife said it was the best suit shes ever seen me in. I also received a lot of compliments from people at the wedding. She became a believer in what a good tailor can do.Right now Fifi is working on another suit I brought her that is going to need major overhaul.Trust in Fifi, shes genuinely a nice person! You wont be disappointed.
Everyone was lovely and they did an excellent job on a bridesmaid dress as well as a coat that was my grandmothers.However, when I went to get the dress the day before the wedding it wasnt done. I was asked if I could get it before the wedding, I ended up having to run back in between rehearsal events. It was extremely stressful. Hindsight, I would have called to check in.It was during a busy season so that could have been a factor (definitely told them when the wedding was).I live out of state so I had to get the coat months later on my next visit as neither were done.If I were ever to move to the Chicago area, I would definitely return.
Top-notch experience from the time I contacted them to schedule an appointment to try on wedding dresses to my first fitting today. The staff is friendly and Fifi is so sweet. I highly recommend this business!
Absolutely wonderful experience with Fifi!
Fifi is the best seamstress in the Chicago area! She is so kind and genuine and I feel very comfortable leaving my garments with Fifi and her team! She is the best! Thank You Fifi for fixing my clothes you are the best!
I absolutely love Fifis Tailor. They always get my dresses altered so perfectly and the staff that works there is incredibly nice. They make me feel at home and like family. I am very petite and its always so hard to get clothing altered just the way I want it, but I have never been disappointed by this place. Ive been to other tailors where I have paid more for poor quality. Fifis Tailor produced perfect work, and they can recreate any of the original stitches from the any garment you bring in.
Fifi is outstanding! Arrived with a very upset teenager with a botched gown and left with a very happy teenager because Fifi assured her it would be fixed and it was! She was a lifesaver! She was so professional and has a very clean shop. I will never go anywhere else ever again. Fifi is the best! We love her, she is great! Thank you Fifis for saving my daughters sweet 16!
Extremely thankful that I found Fifis Bridal. Was completely discouraged after trying on about 100 dresses from 100 different shops and then I met Fifi. The dresses are absolutely stunning and I found the one. On top of finding my dress, Fifi and her daughter were so amazing and made me feel beautiful everytime I walked into their shop. Fifi even went above and beyond and helped me secretly buy a veil to suprise my mom with. Highly recommend and will always cherish my wedding day because of Fifi and her daughter! Thank you so much!
My wedding dress was botched 3 times from the place I bought it from. My wedding was in 6 days!!! I called all around and no one would help me. I called Fifi and she said everything will be ok and had me come in that day. She is extremely talented and the best seamstress I have ever seen. My dress looked amazing on me!!! Better then I ever thought it could!!! Love you Fifi. Wish I would have know that you sell dresses too.
I will miss coming here to get my dress fitted and talking to Fifi regularly. She is absolutely warm, welcoming and lovely to work with. She makes you feel special and part of her family. I bought my dress from here (Sophia Tolli), my veil and my jewelry and it was all absolutely perfect. I received tons of compliments the day of my wedding. Additionally, I did not feel pressured here when I purchased my dress unlike other salons. I love this place & would definitely recommend it to anyone. :)
I can update this review now. This is a very beautiful place. I ordered my veil from here and a comb to make another veil out of the tool from my moms. I ordered in April and finally got information just a few Moments ago that it came in in Ivory instead of White so they had to send back and that is the delay. Fifi is super super sweet and her staff is very accommodating.
Fifi is FABULOUS!!She is a very sweet lady and makes you feel beautiful!I wanted to get some buttons added to my dress and had to have standard alterations done; like a bustle and some taking in at the top. I went to try on my dress for the final time last night and my wedding is on Friday and it fits like a glove..PERFECT!I highly recommend taking your dress to her, she will make it even better and is great to work with! Kudos to you and your team you are amazing!
I cannot recommend anyone better than Fifi. I have brought everything to her from dresses, costumes, pants, pillow cases, curtains, etc. Not once has she disappointed. As soon as you walk in she makes you feel like youve known her forever. She is very sweet, patient and welcoming. On top of that she is so willing to give you suggestions and advise you with whatever you bring in. She is extremely knowledgable in what she does and it definitely goes to show! Thank you Fifi for all your incredible work!
Last year I had an amazing experience getting my Homecoming dress altered here. The visit was quick and easy with a great price and service. I was beyond happy with the results and Im currently usuing Fifis again to have my prom dress altered!
Fifi is FANTASTIC! I brought in my prom dress (a beaded Cache dress from 1997) and she altered it perfectly! This dress was very challenging because of its single thread beads…if one bead falls off..they all do! Because of Fifi, I looked like I was on the red carpet! Not only did she offer expert alterations, but fantastic service as well! I came into her shop as a customer, and left as a friend! She is the SWEETEST lady I’ve ever met and will do everything in her power to make her customers happy. If you ever need anything altered or designed, I HIGHLY recommend Fifi!
Looking for a mother of the groom dress. My sister and I ran in here just before closing time (sorry!) They let me try on a dress and were very kind and helpful. Im going back to shop because they are so nice and had a good selection of MOG dresses unlike a lot of stores where its not important for them to think of the mothers, they just want to sell bridal gowns.
Worst experience of the entire wedding planning process. Fifi destroyed my gown in the process of altering it; with less than two weeks until my wedding, I had to find another seamstress to rebuild the front of my dress from the train it was so badly botched. Worst of all, Fifi took full payment upfront and offered no refund or apology.
I bought my wedding dress several hours from my home and was looking for a tailor closer to home. I found Fifi through some online research. Fifi makes you feel comfortable during your fittings and I was confident in her knowledge and ability. She calls herself the clothing doctor. She was more expensive than I was expecting, but my dress did have a lot of layers and I was happy with how the dress fit at the end of it all. Thanks, Fifi!
Went in to look at vails had been to the store before to look for dresses and liked what I saw. I knew what I had in mind was ready to buy if I found what I wanted but was rushed out by the manager saying I had to come back when I had my dress. This was during the normal working hours so I was not sure why I was rushed out my mother and I were very uncomfortable the way we were rushed out of the store when the had no customers at all, to get rid of one willing to buy right away seemed odd to me. Was very disappointed and will not be going back. Wish it had been a better experience they had some wonderful options.
I arrived in Chicago last night for a wedding (I am in the grooms party) and was horrified to realize I had completely forgotten to get my grooms party suit pants tailored. Pictures were a mere 24 hours away! Was I going to ruin the wedding?? Fifi to the rescue. She squeezed me into her busy schedule and tailored my pants for me ON THE SPOT - I didnt even need to make another trip to pick them up later! I dont know a lot about tailoring, but Fifi looked extremely skilled (she told me shes been doing this since she was a young girl) and the pants look FANTASTIC. I was surprised when she told me it was one-woman operation because it looked so busy - but she said she only trusts herself to give amazing service - and it shows. I spent an hour with her while she tailored my pants and she is a delightful lady. Fifi represents everything business in America is supposed to be about. I wish I could give more stars.
Fifi was very nice, but I am dissapointed with the quality of my alterations for the price I paid. I had a bridesmaid dress done, and it was altered too tight but not unwearable. I tried it on again before my sisters wedding and noticed that two seams were already coming undone. Im sure she would have been willing to fix it, but the alterations were not done in a timely matter, and now I am unable to go back and have them fixed.
I love fifi and her work! She is amazing, she made my dream dress. Everyone was so polite and professional! I reccomend her 100%
Fifis a knowledgeable and kind person. I went directly to her when I discovered a dress (bought elsewhere) issue based off a friends recommendation. I couldnt be happier! Definitely recommend her myself.
Fifi is the best! I was lucky enough to find Fifi, she was great from the beginning and deliver my dress on time and perfect. I would (and have) recommended her to a few of my friends. I love Fifi!
Edit:I am updating my review to reflect my most recent experience with Fifi’s Tailor. I originally came to Fifi’s Tailor because they were advertising a $399 summer dress sale. When I arrived I was told that they were sold out of the $399 dresses. I purchased a beautiful dress for roughly $1500. I later discovered that the dress that I had purchased was advertised specifically in a Facebook post from June 5th as being on sale for $399. I asked the owner of the establishment to honor the advertised price of the dress. She has indicated that she will not be honoring the advertised price. It is for this reason that I have reduced my rating from a 5-star review to a 2-star review.Original:Wow! The experience I had with Fifi today was this best experience I have had planning my wedding thus far. I would highly recommend that every bride around the Chicago area pays a visit to Fifis Tailor. Thank You Fifi!
Fifi is a miracle worker and her work is so professionally done! Her personality is so bubbly and shes extremely nice. She makes you feel like youre family to her. I highly recommend her to everyone!!
Professional place, friendly people, cool prices. I came here over 10 times and very happy w the results:)
Googled Bridal shops near me. Fifis had great reviews and we took a chance to stop in to see their bridal gowns. First and foremost the location was questionable, the photos online made this place appear top notch. The main issue is the lack of customer service from the staff. We were not greated and when someone approached which Im assuming was the owner she was in a rush to leave. We were left in the room to view but no real attention to the possibility of earning our business. Save yourself the time and go to Genevieves bridal shop in South Barrington.
Warm and friendly customer service with expert tailoring done on anything and everything from bathing suits to gowns! Highly recommend!!

Because of my body, I have a difficult time finding clothes that fit me. I am a petite athletic built woman - clothes are either too large in the waist or too long in the length. Over the years, Ive gone through MANY tailors and between those that dont really listen to my needs to the many shops that have closed down in this economy, I find myself in constant need of a GREAT HERE TO STAY person that can help me.... well, Ive found her! Fifi not only is capable of amazing work, she completes the task quickly with a warm and friendly smile! I couldnt be happier meeting her....thank you Fifi! YOURE THE BEST!
Fifi has been wonderful to me! Ive gone to her for every little thing and I have loved every stitch of her work. She is not only talented but her soul is beautiful!
It is unbelievable how dedicated fifi is! I went to her desperate to find a wedding dress and very clueless of what type of gown i wanted or what style was best for me fifi used her experience and patience to help me find the perfect dress that made me feel comfortable and feel like a real bride !
I went to Fifi to tailor my prom dress and after seeing the reviews I thought she would be of great service. However, my experience ended up in tears. I tried on the dress and she told me several times that my dress was going to bust and that I most likely had gained a couple pounds. I was understanding until she told me MORE than several times that I should not eat pasta, bread, or sweets until my prom day. Then she asked if my heels were comfortable and after telling her that they were she snarled at me saying, hmph, I doubt that. No girl/woman should be told to lose weight to fit in a dress. This is your job, Fifi...to make clothes to fit the person. Never tell someone to tailor THEMSELVES to fit the clothes. Very rude service, I do not recommend hiring Fifi as a tailor.
Fifi is the most amazing person ever!!! She makes u feel like u r the most important person in the world. She will do everything to make u happy and always with a smile on her face. Always compliments and gives u confident. Fifi made my wedding dress top from scratch.She is not only a tailor she is an amazing designer, she has great ideas!! One fitting day she was sick like a dog and still worked hard. Her assistant is very professional and nice as well.Just a little tip from a very satisfied Costumor:When u choose a tailor for a wedding dress u want to have an amazing, fun, positive experience and with fifi and I can assure u will!!! Don’t settle!!
I recently had my bridal gown altered by Fifi and I was extremely disappointed with the way she conducts her business and the quality of her very expensive work. I felt like I could not trust her because all she wanted to do was sell me something else or recommend more alterations so she would get more money. At the first fitting, she asked me why I didnt buy a dress from her and told me that her dresses were so much better. Then she wanted me to purchase her more expensive bra cups when I had brought my own. She would say Cant you see the difference? Mine are much better quality; I only buy the best. I could not see a difference and neither could anyone else! Then she tried to sell me one of her belts which I told her I didnt want to spend the money on. She also had me pick out a garment bag and then later told me she was charging me $25 for it. I then had to argue with her that my dress would be ok in the less quality bag I had brought in. She also tried to sell me her David Tutera jewelry.As far as the alterations go, she forgot to sew in my bustle. I had already left before I noticed it so I took my dress to an out of town alterations place where they did it on the spot for $15 dollars (it was more expensive at Fifis). They also commented on how she sewed the bra cups in and said they would never be allowed to sew them to the outside portion of the dress. The hem also did not hold up and it came undone halfway through the reception.If I had to do it all over again, I would not return to Fifis. I would be willing to pay more just to have a place not hassle me about buying accessories!
Amazing staff, extremely professional. Beautiful dresses and exceptional tailoring. Thank you for everything Fifi!
Great services -quick turnaround and excellent quality alterations to my trousers! Thank you fifi!
