Years of Experience
J & D Alterations started with a simple idea: everyone deserves clothes that fit, and no one should have to throw out a great garment just because it doesn't sit right anymore.
Located in the heart of downtown Chicago, we've spent over a decade helping locals look and feel their best. We treat every piece — whether it's a $20 t-shirt or a $2,000 suit — with the same level of care and attention to detail.

"I brought in a blazer that was way too big and left looking like a completely different person. The fit is incredible — I get compliments every time I wear it. These folks are the real deal."

"They repaired my wedding dress after I spilled wine on it before the reception. You'd never know it happened. I was so relieved — and grateful. Thank you, J & D!"

"Not only do they do amazing alterations, they also fixed a cabinet door at my place. Honest, reliable, and reasonably priced. My go-to for everything in the city."
