Lake Street Tailor

Kelly is wonderful! She is incredibly thorough and pours her heart into every stitch. She took an extra 3 feet of fabric off of my wedding dress and on my day it fit like a dream. I highly recommend her!
Say hello to Bodi for me! :)

Kelly has used her skills to alter three dresses for me over the last year with the most recent alteration being for my wedding dress, which I picked up from her store earlier today. For the two dresses I had her alter previously, she took in the waist/​bust areas and trimmed the tails of each dress to suit my height. The wedding dress was quite complicated to alter in that it has a ton of floral appliques and lace details decorating the silk satin top layer of the dress along with three other layers underneath. The wedding dress is also asymmetrical by design, and I was worried about how the bustle would turn out being that the train is also asymmetrical. I had no reason to worry, because Kelly did an excellent job with the dress as a whole and especially with the bustle. I’m so happy with every alteration she’s done for me; I can’t imagine going anywhere else for my alteration needs.

Kelly helped me with the massive job of alternating my wedding dress that was 10 sizes too large. It was a big undertaking and I’m so grateful for her expertise. After various fittings, it was perfect! She was very professional and I would visit her in the future for other easier alterations as well as recommend her services. Thank you, Kelly!

Amazing. Kelly is the best. I took a pair of pants in to be hemmed urgently Saturday afternoon technically after she was already closed, and she had them finished in 1 1/​/​2 hours for less than $ 20. I needed the pants for an event the next day and she came through. Other tailors in the area were telling me they needed at least 3 – 4 days, maybe a week. Kelly is now the only person I’ll go to. Bonus points because her golden retriever is the coolest dog in the world.

Love this place. Sweet pup to greet you, great service. They are fast, efficient, and friendly. They have a forever customer in me as long as I live here.

Good, prompt service. I’ve always gotten everything done just as I want, which is nice. I usually know the measurements I need before I go in, but I’m always given the option of trying everything on while I’m there. They also sell jewelery and stuff.
Sometimes there can be a bit of a wait since I think only one person works here, but there’s a dog to keep you company :)

I’m kind of a fashionista and somewhat quirky to my needs in tailoring. I’ll bring in t-​shirts that I want the sleeves removed to become a workout shirt and then also buy Prada shirts for work and have them tailored to my exact fitting. I can tell you that I’ve been to all the tailors in Kirkland and a couple in Bellevue that were recommended by Nordstrom and Lake Street Tailor (Kelli) is the BEST of them all. Prior to going to Kelli I had others try to do the t-​shirt thing or shorten or slim my Prada shirts and all others never really got it right. I don’t write reviews often and I actually have recently moved from Kirkland, but if you need a good tailor Kelli is the one!!!
There are a few times that Kelli gets busy and may not have it on time, but that’s only once in a while due to a last minute dress hemming or something that others needed.
Finally, Kelli is so good that I would buy clothes online knowing that I could get them fixed at Lake Street for a reasonable price with quality work. Go nowhere else but Lake Street for your tailoring needs! Now I hope to find a tailor as good and as reasonably priced as Lake Street Tailors in Del Mar, CA.

My sister was getting married in June. My Mom and my (MOH) dress were both too long and needed to be hemmed. We took them in a couple months ahead of time and were measured at the store. She look her time pinning them and asked us when the wedding was and told us when they would be ready. The price was fair for the work (a fancy dress is harder than a pair of pants). She called about a week before the wedding and told us the dresses would be ready. They fit perfectly! We are both very pleased. This is the place to go!

I needed to have a pair of sweat pants shortened.
It was a very good experience overall. She measured and pinned the pants Saturday and I had them back on Wednesday. No complaints. I will definitely use them again and see how she does with something a little more complicated next time.

Took several pairs of pants and an overcoat here. The pants had shrunk and needed to be re-​hemmed, whilst the coat’s arms were too long. (I must have T-​Rex arms.) All the work was well done and for a good price. The nice lady even stitched the coat pocket that was flawed back together for me for free.

I will admit, the service was a little weird, but I don’t have to get things altered very often.
I had to provide my measurements over the phone to the place my bridesmaid dress was being ordered from so it could be shipped to me. Now I know bridesmaids dresses tend to have weird measurements, but the lady told me I should order a size 8. I was absolutely appalled. I talked her down to a size 6. When that came in, I was swimming in it.
I took it to Lake Street Tailer after being recommended by Bakker’s dry cleaning up in Juanita Bay. I put the dress on, she pulled it in to see what would fit, marked it with chalk, and I took the dress off. The total adjustments were about 2.5 inches on each side of the zipper. That’s huge.
They were super accommodating and very nice. They had the dress done within a week. When I went to pick it up, she just handed it to me. I kind of thought you were supposed to try it on to make sure it was right before you left the store. But, whatever.
I got home, and the dress fit perfectly. I couldn’t believe how easy it was. I was so worried things were going to go wrong, and after that, I felt so much more relaxed about the wedding.
Price was exactly what I expected (or at least hoped). Thank you so much to the ladies at Lake Street Tailor! I highly recommend.

The proprietress is sweet and I love the atmosphere of the shop, but can’t give quite the same rave reviews I see here. I took a dress and jacket to be taken in, a second dress to have a small tear repaired, a skirt and pair of slacks for hemming, and a pair of my husband’s slacks to have suspender buttons added. Kelly asked when I needed the items done and I said there wasn’t any rush, could she call me when they were done? She agreed to do so.
After a month, I called to follow up. She said the items had been ready for two weeks, but I’d never gotten (or missed) a call. Not a big deal, I wasn’t in any rush, but still a little off-​putting. It was 4:30 on a Saturday, and my husband was in Kirkland with the car, so I sent him to pick up the clothes. Kelly took in the shoulders of the dress and it fits better, but is still too big. The jacket fits well and the work is well-​done. But on my third wear, the hem of one of the pant legs just fell out! I think these problems are probably not typical, and I’ll update the review if I Kelly is able to fix these issues when I take the clothes back in.

Needed a place nearby my work that could shorten the sleeves of a button up I bought for my sisters wedding, Kelly did a great job. While doing the fitting, she also noticed that it wasn’t just my shirt that needed work, my suit jacket sleeves also turned out to be about an inch short and she lengthened them for me. Her customer service is top notch, not only was it a quick turn around time for the work being done, but she also recommended and offered to take my suit to the dry cleaners for me so i could pick it up there. Will not be going anywhere else if I need work done. Also, the golden retriever that greeted me was super sweet.

Kelly is amazing! She has taken care of suits, sweaters, and pants for me, and has nailed it every time. She can do it quickly and is very fair in her prices. She even didn’t charge me a couple times because she said what she ended up having to do was so easy.
If you are in Kirkland and need a tailor, she is the one!

I took two pairs of jeans in to be hemmed, and the price per pair of pants was right where I expected it at about $ 20 after tax. The quality was exactly what you’d expect from a pair of hemmed jeans, and to that extent I’m satisfied.
Where this business shines is in their customer service. The Saturday hours are 10 – 2, but the lady took care of me at 2:30 and said she’s often in until 3, which I appreciated since Saturdays are really the only time when I’m able to run these types of errands. They also have a loyalty program where you hem 10 items and get the next one free (or maybe it’s 9 items, I don’t quite recall). This isn’t a big draw for me since it will take me a very long time before I reach that amount of hems, but folks who shop regularly at the Rack will probably appreciate it more.
Overall, I highly recommend this tailor and don’t intend to take my business anywhere else as long as I live in Kirkland.

Good service — I had gone here for a small job for my jeans and sweater.
Delivered on time and cost was reasonable. Owner, a Russian man, is fine — unlike other reviewers who found him rude.

She is life saver! My friend’s wedding is in July and i’m one of her bridesmaid. All the bridesmaid decided to get this dress online and they didn’t have my size so I went one size smaller. Yes, quite dumb of me but I was confident I would fit in after some work out time. Well, work has kept me so busy that I neither had time for work out nor alteration at early stage. So about 10 weeks before wedding day, i tried the dress on and it did not fit at all. I started to freak out and took it to my friend’s alteration service but that seamstress was too damn lazy and refused to do it. I Unilocaled around and found Lake Street Tailor since I live really close to Kirkland now. I brought my dress in and she did some checking and taking measurements. We discussed what can be done. She said she could take it in and did some adjustments and asked that I came back in less than 2 weeks. Sound good to me.
I’ll be straight: it is expensive and the alternation fee cost WAY more than the dress, but I needed it and she delivered, perfectly. I came back for the second fittings and to my surprise, it fitted so well and I actually looked ok in it. I also did some work-​out myself too so that was helpful.
I was satisfied and I got what I came for. I am truly grateful and do highly recommend.
She is a pleasant lady to work with!

love the friendly service and her golden retriever :)

Kelly altered my husband’s tux for our wedding and hemmed a pair of my jeans. She does good work, her prices are very reasonable and her turnaround was fast – just two days for pants hemmed; a week or less for the tux.
