Rosa's on Plainfield

Rosa has been doing alterations at 3911 Plainfield Ave since 2010. In that time she's taken wedding dresses down four sizes, fixed racing suits on a Saturday morning before track day, and hemmed more pants than she can count.

Drop something off and you'll get an estimate on the spot. No surprises when you pick it up. If you're on a tight deadline, say so — rush service is available for when you really need it.

Three other shops said no to resizing a wedding dress from a size 13 to a size 8. Rosa said yes. That's pretty much how it works here.

What People Are Saying

These are real Google and Yelp reviews from customers.

I FELT FLAWLESS! I brought a dress to them very last minute — less than 2 weeks before my event. The work was done beautifully and definitely worth the price I paid.

GO TO ROSA'S. She made it clear from the get-go that our happiness was her priority. Prices are completely reasonable and she made sure our dresses were done before the date we needed them. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

I needed a wedding dress altered down from a size 13 to a size 8 within 2.5 months. Not to mention I am very short so there was a lot of material to remove. 3 other shops told me no, but Rosa said it could be done.

My daughter's favorite blanket ripped that she sleeps with every night, and he was able to mend it and get it back to me within 24 hours. Very grateful for his speedy and great service!

Excellent alterations! No one can do better. So popular you might have to wait a week — but way worth the expertise. Plan ahead.

I needed a suit tailored within a few days and Rosa met my timeline, only charged a little bit more for the rush fee. Suit fit great!
