The absolute best!

I wish I could give Patricia, Rosa, and the team 10 stars! They did a flawless job tailoring my wedding dress. I had bought the dress secondhand and needed to lengthen the straps to lower the neckline, and they cleverly did that by using some of the lace already on the dress. They sewed in cups in the bodice, and made it look new. They mended the tear under the arm hole. All the while, they were perfectly professional, making all the adjustments I asked of them, and so friendly and reassuring during the whole process. I can’t recommend them enough. Below are before and after pics. (Before is the first one, after are the others)

Wedding dress and suit alterations

Moline Kronberg altered not 1 but 2 dresses for my wedding. I decided upon the second dress 2 weeks before the wedding, but they were willing to help me and finished it in time for the big day! My husband also had his wedding suit tailored at Moline. The work they do is immaculate - very high quality. Just as good as a seamstress in Manhattan. I was thrilled with the results and absolutely loved my dresses! Patrizia and Violetta are the consummate professionals, as well as friendly and helpful. They paid so much attention to detail. Thank you for making us feel our best on our wedding day. Photo: Joy Glenn. Location: The George. Both in Montclair, NJ

Wedding gown alterations and preservation

Patricia and everyone at Moline Kronberg were phenomenal! They were responsive, quick, and professional. With my request to alter the neckline they were able to order the fabric and do it with ease and the dress was more beautiful than I could have imagined. We’ve now even changed tot along all of our dry cleaning and alterations here because they were AMAZING!!

Saved my grandmothers 1966 wedding dress!

Blown away does not even begin to explain the how I feel about the work that Patricia and her team has done to restore my grandmothers 56 year old wedding dress. This dress has not been worn since her wedding day in 1966 and had been kept in a closet in the dry desert climate of Arizona with no preservation performed.

The lace had severely yellowed. The appliqués, sequins and beading had also aged over time. I was convinced that there were just going to be parts that could not be saved. I was wrong. Patricia is a dress saving angel and because of her hard work I now have the opportunity to wear my grandmother’s dress to my August 2023 wedding.

I am beyond thankful for her love and appreciation for preserving loved pieces. I could tell from the second I passed my dress over to her that she would care for it as if it was her own family’s heirloom.

I cannot thank her and the rest of the Moline Kronberg team enough!

Overall wait time: around two months
Cost: $600 ($300 up front, $300 at time of pick up)

Impeccable Service

I recently took my Pnina Tornai wedding gown and veil to Moline Kronberg's for preservation and words cannot describe how pleased I am with the result. My gown and veil were wrapped beautifully and delicately in a high quality box. The price was fair and the customer service was top notch. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my most special article of clothing in their hands. After dropping off the gown, I received a personalized, hand written thank you card that made me feel like I wasn't just another customer and that my happiness was truly valued. I almost made the trip into the city to have my gown preserved at the bridal shop it was purchased in... I am grateful to have found out about Moline Kronberg's as I could not imagine anyone else doing a better job!

Professional and impeccable service

My husband and I used Moline Kronberg for our wedding dress and tuxedo professional cleaning and storage. The Moline Kronberg team happily assisted us the moment we walked in and walked us through the details of the service. We absolutely knew we were in great hands the whole time and they even sent us a hand written letter thanking us for choosing them a few weeks later. We received a call letting us know they were ready. Once we arrived the Moline Kronberg team walked us back and showed us the final results. It made for an extremely special moment to see the clean wedding dress folded and preserved in the most beautiful way. They showed us how to handle the dress, with gloves, etc. we could be more impressed and would highly recommend Moline Kronberg!

The absolute best seamstress

Carmen altered my wedding dress and made an exact replica of my moms wedding dress overskirt.
The dress fit me absolutely perfectly and the overskirt turned out flawless.
The ladies listened to my concerns, addressed all of them and were just as excited as me for the day I finally was able to wear it. I feel so lucky that I found them to make my dress fit and look amazing.

Loyda & her team are fantastic

Pandemic bride here! With the chaos of covid, and our postponement, I didn’t really get the chance to do most of the fun wedding prep *stuff*, like bridal shower, tasting menus, or dress shopping with my mom & my bridesmaids. Ultimately I ordered my dress online, and brought it in to Moline Kronenberg for my fitting.
Loyda and her team were incredible through the whole process, and were willing to host our whole little crew (my mom, groom’s mom, my aunt, and my bridesmaids) in their shop so that I could have the whole fitting experience. When I zipped into the dress they stood back and, instead of trying to upsell me on any changes, said that nothing needed to be altered; it fit just right. For my mom’s dress, she initially just wanted a hem. While trying on, they overheard her lamenting to my aunt about needing to find a bra that wouldn’t show with the dress’ neckline and offered to add a built in bra to the dress itself so that she would have nothing to worry about. On the day of my wedding, her dress fit her exactly as she wanted it to and she was comfortable all day thanks to the team’s updates.
Weeks later when I went back, they remembered me, asked about my mom, and even remembered the shoes that I tried on with my wedding dress. Their work is great, but their supreme level of customer service is what will keep me coming back!

Outstanding bridal gown cleaning and preserving

Following our granddaughter's wedding, Bridal Chateau recommended Moline-Kronberg Cleaners for her gown to be cleaned and preserved. From the moment I walked in the door, the staff couldn't have been nicer. They took the gown and checked it over while I watched and advised me what the cost would be. I must say that I was stunned by how expensive it would be, but they were so highly recommended, that I left the gown after paying half of the cost. They told me it would be about a month until it was ready, but in about 3 weeks they called and advised that the gown was ready. They took me in the back and opened the box and showed me the gown which looked brand new. It was well wrapped and they gave me suggestions on storage and I left. I received a lovely thank you note from the person who took the gown initially and a thank you note after I picked up the gown. Moline-Kronberg Cleaners are a first-class business and I wish I lived closer to them because I would patronize them with all of my dry cleaning.

Perfect Alterations

I had bought my dress out of state and needed to find someone in the area to alter it. I was nervous, but I had no reason to be. The ladies at Moline took great care of my dress. They carefully explained my options and when I came back for my second fitting it was perfect. Stress free process. Thank you!
