Antoinette’s Cleaners & Custom Dressmakers

After reading such good reviews, I am shocked by the service I have received. This place is farther from home than others, but I chose to go out of my way because it seemed worth it. I dropped off a shirt to be hemmed and was told to come back in a week. Wanting to ensure my garment would be ready, I came back in two weeks, only to find out it had never been touched.
The owner’s response was to give her until Saturday, but I chose to take my unhemmed shirt to another establishment. She seemed nice at first, but I hardly got an apology. What a waste of time.

Antoinette is a dream come true!
I had taken my wedding dress (that’s right, my designer JA wedding dress) to Antoinette after reading the horrible and frightening reviews about my bridal salon’s alteration department –they were also charging a $ 450 basic alteration fee and really, who knows what is considered «basic alterations» when it comes to a wedding gown. I brought her my gown 2 months before my wedding date (10÷10÷15) and she did an absolutely beautiful job! She had to take it in 2 dress sizes since I lost weight (thanks to my running obsession), cut the length, put in a bustle AND she put in boob enhancers into my dress to give me a boost –all this for the reasonable price of $ 375! Mind you it was cash, but it was definitely DEFINITELY worth it. Did i mention she also fixed my mother’s cathedral veil and cut it to suit the shape of my train? This woman is fabulous. I’m also going to take my gown back to her so she can clean and box it up. I highly recommend her!!!

I’m sad to only give Antoinette 2 stars, but she messed up. Brought in a bridesmaid dress to be altered a week and a half before the wedding… all she had to do shorten the shoulders and take in the skirt a little. She told me to come back next Wednesday (I was leaving for the wedding early Friday). Well, I show up the following week and she can’t find my dress. My dress is MIA, and I start to get upset, she tells me «don’t worry, I’ll find it, I’ll take care of it». She found it, it wasn’t done, and I was running around to get it on Friday and she still charged me full price!!! Sorry, but no. That’s not OK. And then the dress didn’t fit as well as I expected either, but I was just happy to have something to wear to the wedding. Very upsetting after such great reviews and she was really sweet. The least she could’ve done was discount the price because she messed up and caused me unnecessary anxiety.

Alright Me & Mrs. Antoinette go way back, this lady has been here over 20 years and can sew the hell out of a dress, make you you a dress, a blouse, a shirt, a skirt or even a pair of pants and mend damn near anything at fabulous cannot, gotta repeat this… Cannot be beat prices…
Ya Heard???
One small Caveat, these things take time and Antoinette’s may take a little bit bit more time than what’s typically appreciated NYC rush time time style; but…
your going to get what you want, done right and at outstanding prices, you bring the style and guaranteed Antoinette’s will do the rest !

I have brought two suits, a sports coat and a button down shirt to Antoinette and she has done a terrific job. She is my go to for any and all alterations.
Also she is incredibly nice :)

Solid dry cleaner and tailor in an area that is lacking in great options.
I don’t even hesitate taking my clothing there.

I am really torn on whether to give 2 or 3 stars but I had a better experience here than my friend
I dropped off two pairs of leather pants and a blouse to be altered in February. They were not done until October. Of course I wasn’t going to rock leather in the heat of August, but COME ON! My friend who lives in the area also had leather pants done and when I picked mine up hers were not completed. While we were waiting from ²⁄₁₅ to 10/​15, there were many excuses as to why our alterations were not done. It’s «prom season» or they were just really backed up. I found this odd because my friend’s brother brought pants in and they were done within a week. He did note that one pant leg was shorter than the other…
My stuff turned out great. In fact, once the October weather turned fall-​like, I even rocked my leather pants the other day and could tell the workmanship was quality. So because of that and the good pricing I was happy, but I think I’ll look for another tailor.
Cash only.

Amazing work! Antoinette is perfection. She saved me twice with bridesmaids dresses, one I had to take in and the second was a last minute emergency to take the dress out an inch. She did both perfect and reasonably priced. I highly suggest this place.

If I could give Antoinette 10 stars I would! I’ve been using her services for many years. She fixed my bridesmaid’s dress that was altered (and butchered) somewhere else and it looks amazing. She started working on it as soon as I walked in and it was completed in less than a week.
I highly recommend her services, she is very welcoming and hard working. You will not be disappointed!

Be careful what you ask to get fixed here. Had several small tasks done, one of which was a tear in a sleeve. Solution they used was a VERY large patch on the inside and a ton of stitching visible on the outside. The end result of the «repair» was far more noticeable and distracting than the original tear and ultimately rendered wearing the shirt with the sleeves down impossible. It was just a blatantly terrible and essentially cost me a shirt.
They also were not finished when they said they would be despite having 6 days to complete the work.
Antoinette herself seems very nice and was very friendly which, coupled with the other very minor repairs being done without incident, is why this review is two stars instead of one.

She ruined my daughters wedding dress. She did not know how to work with organza. She did not offer a refund. I used her for many years but will not recommend her. She does not do the work herself.

I LOVE ANTOINETTE!!! I swear she works miracles! Great prices and impeccable service!!! She has worked miracles on dresses for me!

ANTOINETTE IS THE SWEETEST, HARDEST WORKING WOMAN YOU WILL MEET. She’s also obviously great at what she does and you can trust her to deliver in good time and with high quality. She’s fixed old jackets and pants for me that were dear to me and made them look like new again without a visible trace of the repair. She’s also always busy doing wedding gowns and fancy dresses so whatever you need, come to Antoinette!

I love Antoinette! She is the sweetest woman ever! My cousin recommended her to me to alter my wedding gown. Boy am I glad she did. When I put in my wedding gown she cried and of course made me cry, but she was genuinely happy for me and I barely knew her at the time. I have since recommended her to everyone I have known and everyone is absolutely pleased with her work. Her prices are reasonable and her work is amazing. There is no other place I would go.

Antoinette’s is my go-​to place for clothing repair. Prices are reasonable, and work is of good quality. She’s a nice lady, to boot.

Very sweet people. I’ve brought a few things to be adjusted over the last few years, and each time I was very happy with the results. I had a beautiful evening gown shortened into an adorable cocktail dress and had enough left-​over fabric to make a wrap. Another time they altered bras that had stretched across the back, so I was saved from having to buy new ones for another few months. On my favorite «dressy dress», they widened the straps so I can comfortable wear a bra, and lowered the arm holes to make it all-​around a joy to wear. The only reason for 4 stars was that there were a few instances of my coming in, they say «oh! next week for sure», then I come back next week and still not ready. But, 4 stars instead of 3 because I also was not great about coming back — they could have charged me storage fees for two of my dresses, that’s how long it took me to walk around the corner and pick them up. Overall a great job, done professionally and well, and not as pricey as I expected.

Such a nice lady and her work is beautiful. She use to help flowerama when they were over book. The women can make fix anything.
