I have been working professionally as an actor since I graduated college, and am a founding member of a theater company. Naturally, this puts me in a position of having to rely on the efficiency of other professionals and colleagues. I would certainly consider the folks at Sew Special to be a reliable professional contact, because I asked them to work a miracle for me and they did it. I brought them a beautiful suit that needed a great deal of work and had to be ready in a matter of hours for a tech rehearsal and photo shoot that day. The pants had to be let out 3 inches for me, and this needed to be done in such a way that the original fabric was maintained. Also, the suit coat needed to be taken up a half inch at the sleeves. I brought it to them at 12 and it was done at 3. That's a whole lot of work to do in just three hours. It fit beautifully and looked amazing. I would bring my personal items to no other tailor in Chicago, and, professionally, I will insist that my company use Sew Special whenever necessary.
Pros: They all have great pride in their work.
