Mino’s Dry Cleaners & Tailor Shop

I adore her. Mino was recommended to me by two dear friends who have been going to her for years, and they were recommended to her by in laws. Sure, she is a bit hard of hearing, but good for her for having the ability to still crawl around on the floor to hem pants! We should all be so lucky! She is a doll who is always honest about the cost and timing and upfront about how an alteration or stitch may affect the final fit. I’m on the short side with a love of flare jeans so I’m constantly bringing her pants to shorten but keep wide leg and she nails it every time. Brought in a bridesmaid dress to be taken in at the bust and it was perfect right out of the gate. Her prices are out of this world. Just bring cash because she doesn’t take cards.. .. .which is the only downside. I’ll keep going to her as long as she is in business.

They did a really good job on my pants! The woman who works there was really nice. Would use them again.

We took my daughters prom dress to be altered. It needed a lot of alterations. We went last night for a second fitting. Absolutely fantastic work. Not only did it fit like a glove but the stitching was perfect. Mino is a true seamstress which is very hard to find these days.

Mino’s is a bad drycleaner. Their prices are nice and low. But two of my four sport jackets still smelled of perspiration under the arms after Mino’s supposedly drycleaned them. All four jackets were nicely pressed. But I wanted them to smell clean too. I am not taking anymore drycleaning to Mino’s.

I took my wedding dress to Mino and had her take in the top and she did a beautiful job.(see posted picture). I was a little nervous at first since I am smaller up top and have a tiny waist compared to my hips. I was worried that I would look to hippy. Mino listened to my concerns and explained to me that she would take it in at several places where seams already existed so it would still have a nice smooth line. She also explained to me that the lace overlay on my dress had to be first removed so she could do the alterations and then sewn back into place. She was very careful and skilled and sewed it back better than how I brought it to her. My dress fit and looked amazing on my wedding day! It looked much more expensive than what I had originally paid for it. I sew handbags but do not sew clothes-​let alone clothes on myself. That being said, I am highly critical of other peoples sewing work and I can say that Mino is highly skilled and meticulous. I recommend her to any Bride or bridesmaid looking to have alterations.

I made an appointment with Mino for my wedding dress alterations after someone at work gave me a great recommendation for her. I had a terrible experience there and will NEVER go back. My appointment was on a Saturday and I brought my wedding dress over. When walking in the shop was very outdated and not very clean. She brought my into a dressing room that was very small and had partition walls that weren’t very secure. Mino has a thick accent so it is a little hard to understand what she is talking about when it comes to alterations. She gave me a very hard time for not bringing someone with me to lace up the corsett on my dress. I told her I was sorry and didn’t realize I had to bring someone with me. This immediately started my discomfort in her shop. She is old and frail and kept telling me that it was too much work for her to lace up my dress. She ended up lacing one loop on the top, the middle and the bottom of my corsett and was trying to base her alterations off of that. Because the corsett was not laced the dress was not fitting me properly. She kept telling me that the dress was too small and that I needed to go back and get a bigger size. My dress was custom ordered and I was measured. There was no way that I could get a different dress. She started pinning the dress all over and then told me that the back was size was going to be even more of an issue after she takes the front of it in. I told her I paid a lot of money for the dress and that I wanted to come back with someone else for opinions instead of letting her do all of that stuff to my dress that I was not comfortable with. I left there and cried all the way home. I was so upset thinking that I wasn’t going to be able to wear my dress (and I had paid $ 1700 for it!). She just kept telling me that I needed a new dress that was bigger. She also gave me a hard time because I had a pink petticoat with me and wanted to wear that under my dress. She said why you have that idea? It made me wonder who was paying who. I don’t think its right that she was making comments about how she didnt like the idea of the pink. It is my day and that was what I wanted.
I left the shop in tears and called another seamstress that my mother uses. I went to her and she laced the corsett and the dress fit like a GLOVE. I cannot believe I almost let MINO HACK my dress apart, when all I needed was taking in the bust a little bit. I am so happy I went somewhere else and will never recommend MINO to anyone.

ABSOLUTELY get your tailoring done here. She is by far the most skilled, detailed tailor I have ever met.
I brought a suit in that I needed tailored within two days. She had it ready a day early and her work was absolutely incredible — it fit exactly how I told her I wanted it to.
She is the 100% the sweetest woman in the world. You will leave with perfectly tailored clothing, feeling like you just met one of the most genuinely amazing people you’ve ever come across.

I had been searching for a tailor for a while now, but I can happily say I have now found one. She is the nicest sweetest lady in the whole world and all of her work was flawless.

I dropped off some suit pants to be let out a size for a wedding just 3 day away. They were ready with a day to spare and I’m skeptical anyone could’ve done a better job. They were previously taken in and she had little material to work with, too. I was most impressed. This woman’s work is textbook old school and I find it a comfort to know she’s a short drive away.

I went to Mino for a bridesmaid dress alteration. I had bought the same size I tried on and when it came in it wouldn’t zip up! I didn’t have enough time to return so needed it to be let out. I brought it to Minos and she wasn’t sure she would be able to do it but said she would try. The next day she called me back to come try it on. She had spent all day ripping seams and figuring it out. I went in and it looked like it would fit. A week later (several weeks before I needed it) Mino was done and the dress fit perfectly! And it was far less expensive than I imagined. She was a pleasure to work with and I would bring anything there I needed alterations on.

She was absolutely wonderful. Fair price and such great attention to detail. My wedding dress is absolute perfect.

I get that Mino is apparently sick but to have no answering machine no info and no one to cover for her or at least to give us back our things is ridiculous and bad business. She’s had my gown that I need by friday night for weeks. No I get told that I’m pretty much SOOL and there is no chance of me getting my dress for a huge competition I have. There was a bridal party looking for their things as well. I can say I’ll never be using her again.

Unilocal… help! You came through once again for me!
Had alterations that needed to be done. Since I can’t sew on a button, it was mandatory that someone who does know how to sew be found to help me with some oversized garments.
There was a new business in town and I thought I would give them a shot. Taper 2pr. of trousers, taper and shorten a 3^rd pr. Went through the trying on, pinning and then to the desk. $ 75.00! I thought I could feel myself gasping. {maybe I was?}! Took the clothes back.. .. But not before the proprietor took out the pins.
Came home. Onto Unilocal. Who/​what/​where is this Mino? Lets go!
She is everybody’s Grannie. A sweetheart. Tried on my garments, she pinned. Gave me pick-​up date. $ 35.00! I was gasping again… but a very different gasp!
Picked up the clothes a when supposed to. Done perfectly {as well as someone who doesn’t know how to sew could tell}! A savings of $ 40.00!
She is pretty, elderly, energetic, enjoyable, talented and a jewel of a find. Personally, I didn’t notice that she was hard-​of-​hearing maybe because I am as well. DUNNO.
Funny: she asked me how I found her. I answered «the Internet». Her response: «Oh you know how to use that?» {it was like we were talking about flying an airplane}.
Go to Mino. She. Is in MERCHANTS RIPOW Plaza. Route 18 in South Weymouth.

Mino’s is the best – great prices, fast service and best of all, the customer service is fantastic! Highly recommend!

I found Mino here on Unilocal and she has most certainly earned every single 5 star rating on here. Mino is far less expensive than any of the other tailors I have been to and for the price she is done within several days. She does not dry clean in house, but rather passes the savings on to you ($ 1.50 a shirt!). Her prices have not changed per the other reviews and for the quality of the work could be charging much, much more.
You will not be disappointed at all.

I highly recommend coming to Mino’s! She is too sweet and you can tell she genuinely appreciates your business. I had a bridesmaids dress that was first too big. Long story short, it then was too small. I was nervous I would not be able to get this fixed. Mino fixed it no problem! The dress fits perfect now. She was very prompt had the dress ready on the decided upon date and even told me if it didn’t fit she would work on it all day Sunday because I needed it that Monday for an out of state wedding. I will definitely go to her again.

Mino is the best tailor on the South Shore. Her prices are very reasonable and she does an excellent job. I have tried many tailors and none can compare to her. I highly recommend Mino’s Tailor Shop.

Love Mino! She is the sweetest little lady. A little hard of hearing so you have to speak up and make sure when you tell her what you want you look her in the face. She reads lips very well and it helps her understand exactly what you want. Besides the hearing barrier there are no other issues. Mino was super friendly and went above and beyond to help me.
I went to her to have my favorite pair of silver jeans hemmed. They retail at 100 $ but they were three inches too long. I bought them specifically for the unique stitching and distressed detail on the seams. She was able to hem my jeans perfectly and keep the exact stitching so they looked like their original state. Not only did she give me what I wanted but she only charged me 15 bucks. Her hemming normally goes for 5.50 $ a steal!!! But because I wanted the original hand work left in tack, she had to do a lot more then your average tuck and sew.
It took her three days to do the job, which I think is very reasonable.
My 100 $ jeans look amazing and I owe it all to Mino! Thank you Thank you, I will be seeing you for all my future alterations.
ps cash only

Let me preface this by saying I never, ever write reviews unless a business truly has gone above and beyond.
I had a bridesmaid dress I needed altered within 8 days. I frantically called every alterations place in the area, roughly 5 different shops. No one would help me and most were rather rude. Mino, on the other hand, welcomed me into her store and said she could alter my dress in time. She told me it would take 6 days. Yet only 3 days later I received a call from her saying it was ready. When I tried the dress on, it was absolutely perfect. I wouldn’t have changed any dimension, even a hair. Not only that, she is such a sweetheart. You can tell she truly appreciates your business.
Overall: Mino gave top-​notch quality service, had my dress ready several days beforehand, and altered it to a T. What more could you ask for?

Mino is very sweet and always thanks you whole heartedly for your business. She is hard of hearing though and her english isn’t great so you do need to be patient and speak loudly.
She was thrilled to hear that I found her on the internet!
