Moline Kronberg Cleaners

been altered. I needed it to be bigger and there was not a lot of fabric left to work with due to the previous brides alterations. I didn’t know if it was going to be possible but the seamstress at Moline Kronberg worked her magic and made my dream dress fit me like a glove. She even had to add additional beading. I am so happy with the results and cannot recommend them enough! Thank you!

o helpful in explaining the process .. so friendly .. a tad costly but so worth it !

ing where to take it as I was nervous about damaging my dress. From start to finish, the process with Moline-Kronberg was seamless. They have wonderful employees and customer service, they did everything on-site and it was ready to pick up within a few weeks. I couldn't be happier with the quality of their work and look forward to being able to enjoy my gown for years to come.

d and repaired was absolutely amazing. They know how special wedding dresses are to their brides and they show that in how they care for each dress. My wedding dress was preserved incredibly well. The staff gave clear directions on how to care for my dress once it was brought home. Every detail that I looked at from the cleaning itself, to the maintaining of the bead work, the repairs that needed to be done on the skirt and the packaging were simply perfect. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Moline-Kronberg!! I will always appreciate you for taking such good care of my wedding dress!

decided to set up an appointment with them. From the moment I walked in, I knew I made the right decision. The entire staff was very welcoming and gave their honest opinions on what I should and should not do to my dress (I ended up hemming and adding a small piece of fabric to the back where the dress clasps to make it more comfortable). A month later, I went back for my second fitting and the dress was finished! I couldn't believe how amazing my dress looked in such a short amount of time. I can't wait to wear my dress on the big day!

ace to care for my gown, which had wine stains and makeup etc. He assured me I was coming to the right place. I was there the next day. Everything is done in-house. I loved that! His wife Patricia, also explained, the process of cleaning and preservation. I mean, I fell in love with this place. They texted/called when my gown was ready about a mon. or so later. Opened the box with me What can I say? The best by far! Highly recommended!

at ease. Addressed all of my concerns- sleeves, hem, bustle. Some other little details. I just can't say enough. Nahomi my tailor was amazing, It was an all around wonderful experience. I picked up my gown pressed and ready to go. Thank you MK ladies. Can't say it enough..Go see them! They're the best!

’t need many alterations but the reviews were so great so I trusted this was the best place to be and was willing to pay the price. At the first appointment everything was pinned (hem, straps, chest & bustle) & was schedule for an appointment for a month later (12/11/21, 4 weeks before my wedding). Between my first & second appointment I had some second thoughts about the changes we were making to the chest & called to discuss. I was told I would get a call back. Never did. Called again & spoke with the seamstress, who again said she’d call me back & also laughed while talking about me to the other women working there bc I was asking about price. I guess she thought I didn’t understand what she was saying. Never called me back. I then texted Loyda & was told I’d get a call. Never did. I called myself & spoke with Loyda, at that point I didn’t even bring up the chest issues bc I decided I was good with the changes but we did discuss adding sleeves (which was discussed at the first appointment and I was quoted $250 to build and add the sleeves with clear snaps - I wound up purchasing already made sleeves and only needed them to add the snaps). At my second appointment all the adjustments were made & fine except the chest. The pins were removed from the chest, the lining was cut out & the discussed changes weren’t made. I brought it up during my appointment & I was told that at my NEXT appointment when I bring in the sleeves I purchased they will pin the chest. My next appointment was on 12/27/21 & I brought the sleeves with me. The seamstress put the sleeves over the sweater I was wearing & said “ok we’re good.” I then asked about trying the dress on for the chest. And I was assured that I wouldn’t need to try on, that they can make the chest adjustments WITHOUT ME TRYING ON. My final appointment was for 1/3/22, I showed up & the dress was nothing like I wanted. Instead of naturally closing the plunge in the neckline like discuss in our first fitting, the seamstress completely OVERLAPPED & closed the neckline & again this was done without me trying on & approving these changes. I cried & asked for it to be fixed the way we initially discussed. I also called again later that day to be COMPLETELY CLEAR about what I wanted (NO OVERLAP) & was told I’d get a call back confirming. NEVER DID. I came back the next day & all that was done was the seam was taken out a little but it was still overlapped. My wedding was in two days at that point so I took the dress bc I was exhausted & needed the dress. Not to mention, like I said I was quoted $250 to build the sleeves & add them with clear snaps & then was told $200 to just add clear snaps when I brought in already made sleeves!!!! Moline Kronberg is overpriced and their employees are rude, lack communication and are impatient. I felt completely taken advantage of, I was treated like some idiot. Unfortunately (but fortunately) my wedding was last minute postponed to April 2022 because of Covid & I was able to bring my dress to someone who is more professional, patient & qualified to make the correct changes. I do not recommend & I truly wish I went elsewhere for my wedding dress alterations.

I handmade my gown with layers of silk and hand embroidery on the bodice. I spent over a hundred hours on my wedding gown and was terrified of having it cleaned, because I knew that I ran the risk of the color bleeding from the embroidery, or the embroidery being ruined. I took my gown in and Patricia helped me with the in-take. She was so kind and complimentary of the work I put in to make my gown. She walked me through exactly what they would do to clean and preserve it. A wedding gown is an emotionally significant belonging, but for me, it was even more so because I had made it myself. Patricia suggested that I mail them samples of the embroidery thread so that they could do a sample clean to ensure the safety of my dress when they did the final clean. The gown came out gorgeous and perfect. It is spotless and not a speck of color run. When I saw my dress after the cleaning, I cried with relief. It is tucked away in a museum quality muslin covered box, wrapped, stuffed to keep its shape, preserved, and they included gloves so I can touch the dress anytime I want. I can even wear it again without needing it to be re-preserved. The cleaning and preservation was also very affordable. I was expecting outrageous prices (an NYC based cleaner quoted me over 1k for just a cleaning) I 100% recommend this cleaner. They care about their customers and take their job very seriously. I will absolutely be using them again.

he bottom layer to wear the dress again but had saved the dress and the layer. Thirty six years later, I brought the dress to Moline Kronberg and they were able to reattach the layer and fix the side slit. The dress was so gorgeous and they did an EXPERT job altering and restoring it. I would not have trusted anyone else but Moline Kronberg to handle this delicate lace dress. I also just brought the most beautiful christening gown, coat and bonnet to them to see if they could get out some stains so my new granddaughter could wear it for her baptism. The gown is also 36 years old and was worn by all 7 of my parents' granddaughters. Not only was Moline Kronberg able to get out all of the stains, they expertly replaced the ribbons on the bonnet, including the keyhole at the back, and the sleeves of the gown. The gown, coat and bonnet look brand new!!! My entire family is so excited that the next generation will be able to wear the dress and we THANK MOLINE KRONBERG for their EXPERT service. The BEST!!!!

y skilled seamstresses were able to make alterations for it to fit a taller and wider body than my grandmother had. The material was a heavy silk/satin, and every change can show so easily, as it's not a forgiving material. I don't know how they did it, but it looks better than it did the day she wore it! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to wear a vintage wedding dress, they are masters at their craft. Cannot say enough good about them.

he dress and lace had yellowed. So we took it to Moline Kronberg and were absolutely blown away by the results. They were able to restore it to the original white (attached is a photo from halfway through the process - you can see how white the treated sleeve is)! A 40 year old dress looked brand new! When I wanted to remove the sleeves and add a bustle, they were so responsive and easy to work with! And their alterations are seriously second to none. When I decided to create my own veil out of my mom's old tulle? I knew exactly where to take my finished but wrinkled veil. And when I bought a traditional qipao that just didn't fit my hips? The seamstress at Moline Kronberg came to my rescue again! And after my wedding? Of course I took my dress back to Moline Kronberg for cleaning and preservation. Seriously - Moline Kronberg can help you with ANY wedding need. And service throughout every process was just amazing. I can't urge you enough - just use Moline Kronberg!

e me. It was perfect. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, courteous and timely. They took care of it in such a way that I will be able to pass this family heirloom down to the next generations. Worth every penny.

t preserve my dress immediately as I should have! I brought it to them and the stains were removed and the dress looks like new! I want to wear it again and celebrate "her" rebirth :) THANK YOU to Loyda and her team for the AMAZING job they did!

nd everyone else was just a cleaner, some offered to put it in a dinky box with a plastic window.. NO. Moline Kronberg's staff were very nice and helpful. They were packaging up another dress while I was there so took me in the back to show me how they cleaned it and wrap it up. Took about 4 weeks and I could not be happier. It was worth the money to have it done right to be saved for years to come. Thank you!

edding, we used them again to clean and preserve my daughters wedding gown. They Are experts and their work reflects it.

come clean. I visited Moline Kronberg with her dress to make a decision as to whether it could be saved, and was met with caring and warm customer service. I was assured the dress would be restored to its original state, and I was not disappointed! My daughter and I were given careful instructions on how to unbox and re-box the dress, how and where to store the box, lovingly zipped up into a cloth covering. It was expensive, but worth it. The care taken to clean and restore my daughter's dress and to make sure we were happy with the result was apparent.

ome dirt/stains on the bottom of my wedding dress was brought to my attention. I spoke with Marcello who had inspected my dress and informed me they would do their very best to fix it. When I picked up my dress a little over 8 weeks later, Patricia took her time to kindly show me my wedding dress free of the very noticeable hole and stains. I can confidently say my dress was taken care of and cleaned to perfection. I highly recommend Moline-Kronberg Cleaners to family, friends, and anyone in need of quality services. Undoubtedly a very clean, professional, and friendly location! Thank you Patricia, Marcello, and your amazing staff!

were so many mistakes made with the dress which I really didn't realized till I took it to Moline Kronberg Cleaners. The associate Loyda had pointed out how my dress was 3 sizes to big and that's why it wasn't fitting properly. With only 3 days to fix my wedding dress they definitely got the task done right and perfectly. They had to take in so much of the dress plus fix the inseam to match correctly. Which Jaehee Bridal did not do. My wedding is tomorrow and I could not have been so much more happier with the results of making me my dream dress. I highly recommend this place as every employee is very knowledgeable in this department.

ces for my wedding dress. I stressed my concern of having red wine stains on the dress since 11/10/18. They instructed me to bring my dress as soon as possible, so the stains can be successfully be removed. Thus, I brought the dress to MKC on 11/15/18, a few hours after speaking over the phone. A seamstress and I together inspected the dress and she made notations. The total cost $900, when asked about the prices they told me they were the best. The first deposit I was required to make was of $450; I was informed to pay the rest when I pick up the dress. I didn't mind spending the money to preserve a beautiful memory and support a local business, so I left my dress and gave my deposit. I was assured that my dress will take immediate attention and will be ready before or on 12/31/18. Few weeks later I called, again assured that my dress will be ready before 12/31/18. THE STORY I go to pick up my dress today 01/2/2019 (almost two months later), and am informed by one of the seamstress (Or so I thought) that nothing has been done to my dress. I inquired why, the response, "We had brides needing to get married, so we had to prioritize those dresses over yours." I asked why was I not notified sooner? There is no explanation; simply, "Again, we had very important emergencies." I proceeded to express my concern of having the stains on my dress longer than anticipated, her response, "I have been doing this for over 30 years, and I have taken care dresses with stains longer than 50 years." When asked, if the stains can still be removed considering that the service has been delayed, her response, "I cannot guarantee that your dress will be prefect." When asked when will the dress be ready for pickup, response, "Within a week or so," rudely began to expose my dress while stating, "Look how dirty your dress looks, it is very dirty with many stains." I responded, "I am very clear about this, as that is the main reason I trusted your services." THE OWNER WAS EXTREMELY RUDE At this point, I requested to speak with the owner, as I did not appreaciate the lack of customer service. In a chuckling manner, she responded, "I am the owner," (Patricia Rodio). In disbelief, I made a comment about writing a review for the bad service, in a sarcastic manner she responded, "I guess your feelings are really hurt?" Finally, I requested to have the deposit and dress back, as nothing was done to my dress and I was disgusted with the horrifying customer service experience. After the fact, approximately two hours later, I received an apologetic email signed by Patricia Rodio, in a sum stating, "There seems to be a mixed up, we apologize for the bad service, please reconsider bringing your wedding dress back..." In response, the top reasons I will not return, 1. Unacceptable customer service 2. Having an unreliable process, but still being customer disoriented 3. Not treating feedback constructively 4. Delays services and does not provide a courtesy call. EVERY customer deserves to be treated with dignity and respect!

Fortunately, Moline is a miracle worker, so my dress came back completely spotless and restored to it's original perfection. Couldn't be more thankful for Moline!

broken, the hem was stained, and alterations done in the 1980s had damaged parts of the skirt. Marcello did a wonderful job washing and stabilizing the fabric. Patricia and Loyda talked through the alterations with me, making sure that dress would hold up, and fit what I wanted for my wedding day. The tears were patched with matching lace, the weak spots were reinforced, and everything turned out great! I also had them alter my reception dress and it was very fast and looked and felt amazing once they were done with it! Great, friendly service and beautiful work!

and attentive. My Gown looks beautiful. Sending you pics. Highly recommended.

utdid herself! She used museum quality box, her dress look breathtaking. Thank you once again ladies, for your attention to detail and professionalism. Simply the best!

ch work done to my dress. From a hem to new sleeves and a bustle. It took one fitting , and I was in love with my dress all again! Thank you, Patricia and Carmen, you're amazing. highly recommended

red me everything would be ok. I needed a bustle, hem and some work done on my sleeves. She did an amazing job. Always loved my dress, but when I saw it bustled and taken in, it brought me to tears! They even had a little gift waiting for me. Wonderful experience!

were told the girls and Moline-K were the Best. And, they are indeed. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in the right place, in good hands. Loyda and Patricia were amazing. Made me feel at ease. Answered all of my questions, they reassured me, Carmen my tailor would do an outstanding job. They all delivered as promised! My Dress feels and looks beautiful. I am ready to marry the love of my life! Thank you, so much ladies. I cant say it enough, you are highly recommended!

e looked for a different business for the necessary repairs/alterations. I found Moline Kronberg through the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists. The gown needed some extensive repairs, like a completely new sleeve. Patricia and her team were AMAZING. They knew exactly what to do and how to do it. The bodice needed to be taken out a little bit, and they executed that seamlessly (no pun intended!). You couldn't even tell. It had been restored to its original glory when my grandmother first wore it in 1950. Patricia totally went above and beyond for me. I had purchased a couple of crinolines and was trying them on with the dress while I was at the shop. Needless to say, they weren't working out so well. Patricia, without hesitating, grabbed one off a mannequin in her window. It worked perfectly and was just the thing that we needed. My mom and I tried to pay her, but she refused our offer and asked us to give her one of the "fail" crinolines in return. She said "the model won't care!" I would recommend Patricia and Moline Kronberg without hesitation if you have a vintage gown that needs some TLC before you wear it on your big day. Muchas gracias Patricia :)

d I went here. Highly recommended!

ence altering, cleaning, and preserving my wedding dress here proved to be no different. Working with the Staff was an absolute joy. The ladies truly put their heart and soul into ensuring every customer is satisfied, and it shows in each garment. I bought my wedding dress at Kleinfeld's, and instead of having it altered onsite, I immediately knew I would take it to Moline. I trust them over anyone else! In order to hem my dress, the tulle had to be cut and re-sewn very precisely in order to line up the lace. When it was finished, you would have never known that it was altered! It fit me like a glove. I received compliments all day on my dress, and it held up through the beachy terrain and dance floor wonderfully. The bustle they created helped ensure I could move around comfortably all night! Without a doubt, I would recommend Moline Kronberg above all other alteration/cleaning service.

o help preserve it for years to come. Moline Kronberg was an excellent choice - they are very professional, organized, and clearly have an expertise in this service. My gown came back looking brand new! Thank you!!!

brought it in an original garment bag from the store it was bought at. I got fitted and was told to come again for the fitting. I went there the second time around for my final fitting, everything was still great. My dress fit me right and it was still in the same bag that I brought it in. I was told that they had to fix one more thing and to come back in few days to pick it up. As I arrived to pick up my dress, it was brought to me in a new garment bag which my dress didn’t even fit into so they put a plastic bag at the train of my dress. But the bigger issue was that my original garment bag had the belt that the dress came with as well as the receipt for the dress inside of the pocket. The owner couldn’t find my garment bag and said they threw it out. My wedding is two weeks away and now part of my dress is missing and which cannot even be replaced as BERTA the dress designer doesn’t sell just that piece. The owner then accused me saying that the belt wasn’t inside. She was very unprofessional even accused me saying that I didn’t want my dress and that’s pretty much why I’m complaining. Remind you my wedding is in two weeks and according to her I didn’t want my dress. I’ve paid $800 for my alterations upfront as I trusted them due to the reviews I’ve read on here. The owner offered to make me happy by trying to duplicate the belt but how can u duplicate part of the dress that in store is sold for $10,000. I got the refund for the alterations which didn’t make me happy as still part of my dress is somewhere in a dumpster. What type of “business” throws out property that belongs to their paid customer? I was told that I will get the same garment bag back as well as a duplicate of the belt- I’ll wait and see if that ever happens.

ed to add things to keep the bra straps in place and they didn't, The neckline is supposed to sit flat against her skin and it doesn't at all, and they got a stain on her dress. On top of all this Loyda and everybody else we dealt with there are fake, rude, talk down to you, and they are way overpriced! They make all these promises and say that they are masters at what they do and come up way short of that. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. We wish we had. Her dress is now at another alterations place trying to be fixed. The place that it’s at now who IS a professional and master said that we were way overcharged and that they somehow messed up a simple alteration and she is going to try and fix what they screwed up. But they screwed up so badly that she isn’t sure if it is fixable at this point.

eeded the ladies to alter and clean my dress. After a quick meeting I immediately felt comfortable and relieved that I found a place that could do the the work I needed. It only took one appointment for measurements and the next time I went back, it was perfect! Fit like a glove. I am so happy with my dress and can’t thank the ladies enough for helping me transform my gown into the wedding dress of my dreams!

ne my research. Luckily having lived in Montclair in the past, I knew that after our dream wedding I could only entrust my beautiful gown and my husband's made-to-measure tuxedo to Patricia and her team of experts at Moline Kronberg, a true neighborhood gem that everyone should know about. Their cleaning and preservation services are as impeccable as their customer service here! During drop-off and pick-up, they reviewed every inch of our special garments with us and all I can say after comparing the before & after is: WOW! They are are miracle workers (and wonderful human beings) who were able to remove all the unwanted stains, while allowing us to preserve all the special memories from our Big Day. If you don't leave in the area, rest assured that the end result will be worth the trek (only a short-drive or train-ride from NYC) and every penny. Once again, we'd like to thank and congratulate Patricia & Marcello for everything they have done for this happy couple and for always welcoming us with a smile!

d with the level of customer service and attention to detail. The staff is super friendly and ready to help! My dress was very dirty at the bottom and a couple of buttons fell off. They took about 3 weeks to get the job done but the results were beyond anything I could have imagined! When I arrived to the store for pick up, the staff even knew me by my first name and that really added a nice personal touch. They secured my dress in a preservation box and opened it in front of me when I came for pick up so that I could inspect the dress. My dress looked just like new, it was super clean, the buttons were sewed on and they even included gloves in the packaging that they recommend that I put on whenever I want to try on my dress. The price was very reasonable for the work that was done. I compared prices with many different cleaners and this was well in range. I highly recommend! I will definitely be using them for all my dry cleaning needs!

glory. I was able to be the third generation to wear this beautiful piece! It had yellowed a lot in storage, but Patricia and her staff restored it to a lovely white color. They did significant repair to the gown, which had been torn in several places and was overall very fragile and delicate. And then they did extensive alterations to make it fit me perfectly! Carmen is extremely talented as a seamstress. Overall, everyone at Moline Kronberg was wonderful to work with. They made me feel totally confident in their abilities. I would trust them with your delicate, vintage, or one-of-a-kind pieces. They did not disappoint.

heaven! The minute I called Patricia on the phone I knew that my prayers were answered and my dress was going to be amazing! I walked into my appointment very nervous from almost having my hopes shattered from the last place. Patricia and Carmen carefully looked at every single detail of my dress and discovered that although the quality was great it would be very hard to alter due to it not having any seams, being hand sewn overlay & all beading on top. Regardless, they took the challenge without hesitation and made recommendations that they would have recommended to their own daughters because they really do care about your happiness and the beauty of the dress. For each fitting, every detail was looked over with such care and I felt like they were truly looking out for the best for me. They never once rushed or pressured me along. I wanted to fit the dress a little more snug than they would have liked but after my last fitting you could see my smile from ear to ear! The crew and Moline Kronberg not only put so much care and time and love into my dress but truly made me feel like a friend and for a bride to look & feel beautiful is everything you could ask for! Thank you all so much. I can’t wait to show off my beautiful dress!

originally purchased my wedding dress at BHLDN but I knew I wanted to make some changes to it. At Moline-Kronberg, they removed lining from the upper back of my dress to make for a better silhouette and unique look. They were able to personalize it by sewing in a belt and adding small details to make feel beautiful in the dress. I always felt comfortable and welcomed when I had my appointments. My mom also had her MOB dress tailored here and was very happy with them! I highly recommend using their services especially if you are looking for a reliable and detail-oriented tailor for your wedding dress.

ecause I knew it was be very expensive and I was not sure if it was worth it. However, in speaking with Patricia who is an absolute sweetheart, she made it clear that this would be a great investment and she would make sure my gown would be good as new! She immediately evaluated my gown and explained in detail how her staff would carry out the restoration and preservation of my gown. The process is lengthy and costly ( I believe it took about 8 weeks and I paid $800) but this was so worth it because my gown will not turn yellow and dull. After 8 weeks, I went to pick up my gown and again Patricia was present to show me exactly what they did and gave me instructions on how to store my gown.

d them to completely open the back of my lace, button back dress, and they did a phenomenal job. I showed them a picture of an open back with scalloped lace (from pinterest), and they made it look identical! As a busty woman, I was worried about wearing my dress without a bra, but they made sure that I was held up and that I was comfortable. They worked quickly and there was no stress around making sure that my dress fit me perfectly. I'm so grateful for their services!

int! Everyone was incredibly friendly and they walked me through every step of the process. Once the gown was finished they gave me a pair of white gloves to inspect every inch of it. They did a beautiful job!!
