Uncommon Closet did an amazing job on my wedding dress and my spouse's suit. The team was attentive, professional, and overall great to work with!
Korri is amazing and today’s appointment was - I do not exaggerate - life changing. Every dream I had for my dress to help me feel more comfortable was affirmed and made possible. ...
I can’t wait for my additional appointments to finalize everything in a few months!
I had a vision for what I wanted to wear on my wedding day, but didn’t think it existed in real life. Luckily, my google search turned up Uncommon Closet. They created the vision I...
had in my head, more beautiful than I could have imagined. My wife ended up getting her suit custom made there, as well. If any issues came up, they worked with me to figure out a solution, like when I realized that the sleeve I chose wouldn’t allow the movement I needed. They are body inclusive and the biggest hype people. I never had anyone available to be at my fitting with me, but the folks at the shop feel like friends and are completely honest even if it means more work for them. Uncommon Closet is truly the best. I feel fortunate to have found them. They helped to create the wedding of our dreams.
I went to Uncommon Closet to tailor my wedding dress and other wedding related outfits. I went there after doing tons of research into tailors in the Chicagoland area and getting ...
estimates from several. Uncommon Closet was such a pleasure to work with--great communication and gave clear and detailed estimates. And then when I came to get fitted, everyone was so wonderful and the final work was superb. It was actually fun discussing the dress. They put in a wrist loop so I could dance more easily in the dress. They also did a how-to video for my Mage of Honor so that my MOH would know how to do the bustle. Just fantastic. Everything was so well done and on time. I now bring all my tailoring to Uncommon Closet. Highly highly recommend. Would give 10 stars if I could.
I am so thankful for Korri & the whole Uncommon Closet team for all their hard work and expertise. They took my mother's 30-year-old 80s style wedding dress and completely overhaul...
ed and created a beautiful, modern, but sentimental dress for my wedding day. The dress was gorgeous and it was so special to be able to wear my mom’s dress & have my grandma’s heart included in the stitching. The appointments were so easy (for me) & exciting and I’m still blown away by the dress’s transition. I would recommend Uncommon Closet to anyone.
Korri and their team were SO great to work with. I'd been there before to fix a zipper on my winter coat (for only $10?!) so I knew I wanted to go back when I got my wedding dress....
I wanted them to remove the train from my dress since I wanted to wear it all night and be able to dance in it without bustling an already bulky dress. They also shortened the straps on my shoulders and added cups. The environment is so fun, everyone on the team is so nice and encouraging, you can tell they all enjoy their jobs and each other. I also appreciated how honest and upfront they were about the expected costs for what I was asking for, and it ended up being very affordable! Plus of course I want to support my LGBTQA+ community (shoutout to my aces!) Thanks again, Korri!
Scheduling was easy and straightforward, everything was done on-time, and it all looked fantastic. What more would you want?
I searched for weeks for a reputable, local tailor to work on my wedding dress. I finally found Uncommon Closet and my experience was PHENOMENAL. They are wonderful people who make...
everyone who steps into their space feel comfortable. I cannot recommend them enough.
Not only did they make me feel beautiful in my own skin, my dress was perfectly tailored to what I wanted (they even asked questions about the venue to help determine the length of my gown). My experience could not have gone any smoother!
I found Uncommon Closet via Yelp for my wedding dress alterations and could not have been more pleased. The staff there was so friendly, knowledgeable, and knew exactly what to do ...
with my silk dress so that it fit like a glove. I was so happy with the fit afterwards that I ditched my plans to change into a second outfit bc I felt SO great in my dress. Thank you to the team here - you are great at what you do and I appreciate your kindness!
TL:DR Version…Korri and the whole team at Uncommon Closet are incredible, patient, and kind and your search for the perfect tailoring service ends here. My experience with them was...
lengthy from start to finish, and even included a few bumps along the way but the way Korri navigated unforeseen circumstances left me feeling singularly important and cared for. Ultimately, leaving my suiting needs with them was one of the best decisions I made in my wedding planning process.
My wedding was 10/25/2020. My dream was to have a custom suit. I am a woman with curves and I really desired a suit that didn’t read “woman business suit” but more androgynous leaning masculine. When the pandemic set in, I started to be more concerned with costs associated with my wedding and started to consider that maybe a custom suit would cost too much. I decided to buy a suit off the rack and have it tailored. My internet searches lead me to Korri and Uncommon Closet. I first touched based with them in June of 2020 and Korri was immediately easy to speak with and full of useful knowledge. I bought a suit off the rack and made my first appointment with Korri in August. In that first appointment it became apparent the suit I bought was not going to result in the desired look. Korri chose their words carefully to deliver this news and I am so grateful for that experience. With barely the minimum time left until the wedding to accomplish a custom suit, I made the decision to fully trust Korri and team to make my suit through their partnership with Sharpe Suiting. Korri fit me in for the custom suit appointment later that day. They helped me pick out many custom details. The day before my first fitting of my custom suit Korri emailed me to let me know my suit had not arrived in the mail. This, I know, had to be a hard email to write and devastating for me to read. Korri reassured me the replacement would arrive on time and we would have time to do a final fitting. Again, I trusted Korri and team to deliver and they did. The end result was an amazing, beautiful suit, made just for me, with intimate details. Yes, it cost more than off the rack but I feel confident I was guided in making choices that will allow for me to have use of this suit for many years and occasions to come. I’m so happy I found and trusted this amazing group of people with my suit choice. Thank you, Uncommon Closet!

t just made our wedding outfits more comfortable and maintained the integrity of the outfits. We felt special. Thanks for helping us celebrate our marriage.
I came to Korrigan and their team at Uncommon Closet when I had a very precious request for my wedding. As soon as I contacted them I heard back and was able to set up my consultat...
ion. When I got there I felt completely safe (all covid-19 precautions were taken) and also felt absolutely at home. I wanted to get tulle sleeves for my wedding dress and had no idea where to begin. They offered me expert advice and even had OPTIONS when it came to my first fitting. They never made me feel self conscious about my lack of knowledge and always took my concerns and transformed them into tangible actions. I would highly recommend the folks at Uncommon Closet for any of your needs. They went above and beyond for my request and now I'll be finding any way I can to wear these sleeves!
Uncommon closet was AMAZING for my wedding dress alterations. They were able to hem my dress to the perfect length (just below the knee) and gave me advice on how to choose the bes...
t petticoat to fluff out the skirt. They also put me in touch with a dress cleaner who was able to pick up my dress from uncommon closet, clean it, and deliver it to my apartment.
They are so fun and kind to work with, and they were almost as excited about my dress as I was!! Any time I need any alterations, I’m absolutely going back!
