Fortunato’s Custom Tailors

I took my pants in as I had a rip in the seat. I believe the gentleman’s name was Leo and he fixed my pants on the spot with a smile on his face. We had some small chitchat conversation and left with a handshake. Will definitely recommend and go back.

These guys are extremely helpful and accommodating! I ripped my shirt on a nail and they fixed it flawlessly. Will definitely be coming back here soon!

$ 2 charged for card transactions, regardless of amount of your bill. Boooo.
The refinement of their work is average to below average, so I would recommend taking smaller sewing jobs for basic clothes here. I took in many items of finer clothing in for reducing the inseam or tapering the waist, some having gems or silk to deal with. When I was initially getting measured, the lady was very helpful and careful about pinning the fabric against my body, which I appreciate so much. She was very accommodating, as with her other family members, as I had tried on different items and asked specific questions about their approach.
Of the 8 items I brought, 2 needed further adjustment because they had missed a ripped wrist seam on a petticoat and also sewed a strap loop wrong. When I came back to pick it, the older gent was very friendly to say if I needed anything re-​done they can do it anytime for me. They also finished my repairs on the exact day they promised, which is good.
The silk shirt that was 2 sizes too large for me had the sleeves reduced and the sides sewed in several inches. When I tried it on, the sleeves were still drooping below my arms so I will need to get fitted again. With regards to 2 tops the stitching was slightly uneven from the armpit down to the hem, but only I would notice it since I nit pick every asymmetry down to the centimeter.
The true highlight of my time there was taking in a flower jean I’ve had since the 90s. For whatever reason the size 8 of the jean is like a size 2 waist only at the belt loop, so I asked them to somehow widen the top 5 inches of the pant. They opened the hip seam and added a triangular patch of light blue denim that matched the pattern of the jean. Also, another patch was added several inches at the belt loop hidden behind the brand label. It’s exactly how I would have done it (had I been a tailor). Now I am very proud to sport the denim I haven’t worn in almost 20 years!
Overall, half the items I was pleased with for simple repair like a 2″ ripped seam to re-​sew. The tailoring of clothes to my body type was mediocre, and I may go to a tailor with a more keen eye. Otherwise go here for things like hems or missing buttons if you’re looking for a cheap and reasonable price.

I am a fan of Fortunato Alteration and Taylors.
Anna and the staff have done a magnificent job, altering clothes to fit me perfectly.
They also made for me a gown that fits me perfectly.

Best ever! They’re really fast and really good and prices are really reasonable.
Pay with cash or pay convenience fee

I love this place! I just got my wedding gown back from them and am so happy.
They took in the top for me, gave me a french bustle, sewed on my bridal sash, and added cups for the tiniest amount of money. They’re not a frou frou place, but that was another reason I loved them. Each alteration only took a few days each, and each time they were very accommodating and friendly. I definitely will be returning with more clothes.

I took in a new designer dress for some small alterations and Anna pointed out that the length was many inches too short. They did amazing work adapting the dress for me and keeping it in the original style — all in a few days before the awards ceremony. All in the shop are friendly. I believe the prices are fair. I have used them on other occasions and the work was just what I wanted. The effort and care they put into my very formal dress deserved a review.

Not going back.
I’ve had alterations done in the past (between bride and bridesmaid dresses), and this was the worst job I’ve ever had.
I brought my bridesmaid dress to just be shortened (it was three straight layers, so not extremely challenging). They didn’t give me the time of day (which should have been my first sign to leave), but reluctant to just get the alterations over, I had them finish it.
When I went to pick it up a week later, they had no idea what dress I was picking up — which made me nervous they had lost it. Finally they found it and when I tried it on there were pieces of tulle from the second layer hanging down. They fixed that piece and I paid my fee and left.
When I got home to thoroughly inspect the dress, I found the pieces under the main layer to be jagged and uneven. I had to sit and re-​alter it myself so it wouldn’t show the day off my friends wedding.
They obviously don’t care about repeat customers, or perhaps I wasn’t dressed rich enough for them to consider me one. Either way, I’m not going back.

I’m a bridesmaid. And everyone who knows me knows this just isn’t my scene. But as one of my closest friends walks down the aisle, I will be there in my navy blue, floor length dress that almost never was, thanks to Ana and crew at Fortunato.
In full disclosure, I don’t even have the dress done yet, but these guys get 5 stars for even putting up with me. Whatever the outcome, it’ll be amazing.
In a nutshell, got the dress, 2 weeks before the wedding, and hello! The dress I bought 3 sizes bigger is 4″ too small. Panic, panic, panic. Try leaving my car unlocked so the dress gets stolen. No luck.
I called a couple places I found on Unilocal and got Christina, Ana’s daughter on the phone. «Sure, bring it in, we’ll see what we can do». OK, worth a shot.
I come in and her mother Ana is there. She clearly has an «oh crap» look on her face as I walk out with the dress half on, but says «ok, we can do it». YES!
So far I’ve gone in once, and there’s still some adjustment to be made. I have no doubt it’ll be perfect come Thursday when I pick it up, and they’ve totally relieved a ton of stress!
They’re also extremely reasonable!
I highly, highly recommend these guys. And thanks to them, I’ll be in navy blue satin instead of duct tape (the jury’s still out on which is better).

When I can’t get free tailoring at Nordstroms, I come to Fortunato’s.
I love to support the small family businesses out there in a world run by chains and giant corporations. This shop is about 10 feet wide and it used to be run by an old man and his little chihuahua named Baby. He has since passed away and a new group of friendly people now work here. Anna is my current favorite. She recognizes me, my brother, and my mother because we all come in to get our alterations done.
I have been coming here since I was a senior in high school… about 8 years now! I have seriously brought in everything that I have needed to get fixed… prom dresses, jeans, pjs, and sweats! Even sweat pants need their care and attention.
I can remember bringing in my Laundry by Shelli Segal pink floor length prom dress to get hemmed because the gown was designed for 6′ models. I also had to get the halter top tightened because I lack the torso and the boobs for such a low cut dress, especially in high school. No J. Lo dress for me. They did an excellent job and even added in a snap to the halter because they had to cut it.
I recently got about 4 pairs of new jeans hemmed. One of them was a pair of Frankie B. s that cost about $ 150 from Metro Park. A younger guy measured me and I picked them up the next day to find that some of the legs were unequal length and that one was still 2 inches too long. I came back immediately and Anna re-​measured me and made sure that it was a better fit. It was a relief to have Anna fix the other young man’s mistake. Everything was fine in the end, thank goodness.
Tips: Pricing differs depending on if you want the original hem on the pants or if there is a lining on your dress, etc. I would just ask before-​hand so that you know how much you are paying for everything. There is also a $ 2 convenience fee for using a credit card. Pay in cash.
If I can trust Fortunato’s with my prom dress and designer jeans then I would totally recommend them to any of my friends and family.

yeah, ok, i am definitely convinced that mr. roberto from fortunato’s is going to hand sewn my wedding dress.
items i dropped off to get altered:
skirt– too big and needed to be tapered down at the waist.
dress– too big and needed to be tapered down in the back.
shirt– didn’t like the sleeves so i wanted them taken off.
got everything beautifully altered and hung (like always) in 2 days for 40 dollars.
might i add i drove 1 hour roundtrip from my sister’s place JUST to get my stuff tailored at fortunato’s.
looking for a man with a pair of hands that does wonders? go find roberto.
they take cash, credit, and check.
