    Made my tux fit perfectly

    I bought my tux from The Black Tux, and it fit pretty well, but not perfectly. Stephen did a phenomenal job tailoring my tux and dress shirt so that it was an absolute perfect fit. I've rarely had anything tailored before, so it was a new experience, but it was worth every penny. I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day. Thank you!

    I’ve had a chance to visit couple local and out of state tailors before moving. Nothing has compared to the experience, education and tailoring that Helen has provided me at this small family business. I had originally purchased a bridesmaid dress from David’s Bridal and I thought it was made to measure. Unfortunately the straps were too big, I needed some bust cups placed in and to get it shortened. The downside was the wedding was also out of state and I needed it in a couple days. With Prom season at the moment for these professional tailors I knew it would be tough to get in since David’s Bridal takes up to 2 months. I called Helen, she told me about what she could do and rush the dress for me. This family truly works around the clock for you. I came in way beyond after hours on a week day and she had it ready for me Wednesday Morning before I flew out. So grateful to have tailor near me that’s so professional and kind. Thank you so much!

    28 years - 3rd Bridesmaid Dress & A Wedding Gown

    Absolutely enjoyed working with Cheungs. She's been there for 28 years and it shows. I had recommended couple of my friends along with normal clothing fixes and repairs here and there. Recently had my bridesmaid dress done and she always delivers. Her clientele is big especially during the busy bridesmaid season but her team works around the clock to help get my girls and i fitted. Love.

    Cheung’s was able to help me with my bridesmaid dress since I’m not too tall I always need things shortened. I came across them from a friend and not only was she super kind, I called in the Morning and got an appointment the next day due to Prom. The fitting was fantastic the gentleman helped me with how to choose my measurements so the bride would be happy, we consulted on making sure things were right beforehand. The wedding isn’t until the summer time so I wasn’t expecting it to be done in such a rush, but I’ve got it back already. Super helpful, will definitely be coming back for my other bridal tailoring.

    Had custom suits and jackets tailored

    Check out this tailor, I was surprised how much I learned working with them over the last few years. I probably get a few new suits done annually and the work is amazing and original. Highly recommend

    If I could give them 10 stars I would. This family owned company was so welcoming to all of my bridesmaids when I had my dress altered. I had my mother's wedding dress which was over 30 years old and too small. The owner herself took in my arms and used the leftover lace to design my sleeves. She also made the bust area bigger without making it look noticeable. The price was just right and the dress looks like it was made for me. I would highly recommend if you are looking for detail oriented, fast tailoring!

    Astonishing work! I have had a previous bridesmaid dress completed here before and knew that when my wedding was coming up i know where to go. I had found an amazing dress though it didn't fit i had shown it to the seamstress and she said she could make it fit. She was very accommodating with her schedule and absolutely worth every penny. You cannot find work as amazing as theirs in the twin cities. She had added 2 - 3 inch panels into the dress as well as a panel corset to make it fit. I was in love with the design and she made it work. The bustling of the dress also made it perfectly flush. Enjoyed working with her team and how original the work was performed. Thank you!

    From the moment I made my initial contact with Helen and her team they were very courteous and kind. I had initially purchased my dress in June and had lost more weight than I expected. I had a lace bottom and rhinestone filled took for my dress. The elegance of it definitely was from how figure fitting it's supposed to be. I made an appointment with her to take in the sides on my dress as well as a minor hem and add in a busy cup. Choosing a tailor I expected to be a tough decision but Cheungs Tailor has been around in the same location or 27 years and perform 20+ dresses a day. I definitely would recommend her to anyone. She was prompt, kind, knowledgeable and none the less highly skilled to make my dress fit the way it should.

    Cheung's Tailor is small business at it's best. You can tell how hard everyone is working, and how they really pride themselves on coming up with innovative tailoring solutions. Cheung's did all of the alterations for my wedding dress and my step-daughter's bridesmaid dress. Prices were consistent with the industry standard, and I know the quality and the value are much higher. It was very easy to call and setup an appointment. They will be as flexible as they can with the time. I was also able to email to ask questions as my dress was being altered, which was really nice. Simply stated, this is just a really nice business to work with, where the people care about quality and customer service. Will be returning here for many more alterations in the future.

    Amazing work on my wedding dress and for the entire wedding party. I had emailed them for an appointment and they got back to me within the hours. I had 4 bridesmaid, myself and my fiance for the wedding party. With some of the girls from out of town and needing to get things done quickly Cheung's and her team were very accommodating with our schedules and even opened up late for us. All the girls had something different done.

    My wedding dress was a mermaid with 6 layers and the top was just too big she took in the dress on the top install bust cups for me as well as hemmed it. (3 inch heels were still not enough) It took her a week on our dresses and we we're all very happy.

    My husband now looks pretty cute :)

    About 15 years ago I moved out to Madison for college and decided to make it my new home after meeting my fiance. But since I grew up in Minnesota I've had a lot of connections with family and friends and ended up doing a majority of my wedding shopping and duties around there. To my surprise when it came to my wedding gown alterations I had asked my girlfriends who they ended up going to. Turns out Cheung's was the same seamstress that did my prom dress during high school and they're still around, which is amazing! This only speaks about the skills that she possess in this profession that truly have clients who enjoy the originality of her work. Though this is more about my wedding dress, over the past years they've started a portfolio of pictures and this only continually reassured me of their ability to complete what I needed for my dress. I am getting married a little later than many other girls, but I'm also expecting a child soon. Since I had purchased my dress a while ago then finding out I was pregnant I was so happy to find out that Cheung's was able to add a corset panel to the back of my dress. The amount of lace and material she utilized from the dress made it very original. My wedding gown was a chiffon top with floral lace. The process was simple, since they're busier now I made an appointment like all my girls did and she was able to accommodate for me to come back and pick it up before my wedding. I highly recommend her work, the photos truly show for itself!

    What a pleasure to have worked with Cheung's. From making the appointment and asking questions she made me and the bridesmaids feel so comfortable and though I was very anxious about my wedding dress, there was absolutely not one other place that my girlfriends and I have found that had such an extensive portfolio as Cheung's did. We did find some past classmates as well. I had a very detailed lace dress, needed a hem and also because of the long train some bustles and also some bust cups. They were wonderful at explaining the process of what she was doing. Her professionalism and the time it took was great and we had about 2 weeks before my wedding. Apparently they've done bridal gowns in hours and days before it's very common cause - life. It took my one fitting and that was it. I would've been fooled to think that other shops you need appointments months ahead of time and then several fittings. Not at Cheung's they're at the top of the industry. I would be highly recommend her for your dress alterations!

    I cannot even describe the incredible work these guys helped perform, the tailoring was unbelievable. My wedding was this past weekend on Saturday and I was already hysterical, my dress got shipped last minute and arrived a week before and it was way too tight around the bust area when I had finally got a chance to try it on. Two days before my rehearsal I called three different tailors around me and everyone had already closed. Luckily, they were still working and answered my call. They're always working late! Crying on the phone I don't think the gentleman was really able to understand my needs and how important this dress and night was, I thought I needed to just head to David's Bridal and buy a new one quickly. He said they couldn't make any promises right away without looking at it but asked for me to bring the dress in and try it on. This was already 6pm on a Thursday night, way past their closing. I came in a gal fitted me and offered different suggestions. They were able to remove a little bit from my dress and create this gorgeous 'V' panel in the back with lace weaved around to tighten it and removed the existing zipper. I truly wish I could show a before and after photo, I felt so comfortable in my dress and with the altered back no one noticed. It was phenomenal work. They've been the best tailor I've found so far and the turn around for barely one day still had me panicking. They are now my go to for all tailoring services. Not your average shop you'd find, the quality was amazing! They're so genuine too thank you so much I give them a 10/10!!!!!!

    I adore this shop. I brought in my wedding dress to have a few things done. Hemmed the bottom, added bust cups, take in the top and also bustles for my long train. Originally ordered online, I ran into the difficult problem of now finding someone to alter it for my wedding. I had originally found Cheung's through a friend who also had her wedding gown sewn there a year ago. They were very helpful from the start, I told them I was a newly referred customer and this was my first time having a dress tailored. They walked me through a portfolio of hundreds of other girls who have had their dresses done. Before moving forward I just wanted to be comfortable and at the tailor shop I felt they really knew what I needed. I would recommend this vendor based highly on those points above. Not being too busty I was really afraid to wear a bra on my strapless dress and they were great with their consultation. I could tell they truly cared. Wedding day came and it fit like a glove. I did spend more than I had anticipated but I wouldn't have had it any other way it was worth it. I'd suggest others to look at a vendors portfolio or call to see if they had one. Cheung's is at the top in this industry I would say. I'd be back for my bridesmaid dress soon in April!

    I brought my dress in for alterations a little over 2 weeks before my wedding- I was in a crunch. I am a plus size girl and had a dress with a corset back. When I brought it in for the first fitting she did not even lace up the corset. She proceeded to tell me that it did not fit (even though it fit at the bridal shop) and that I would need to add panels to the dress. She estimated the cost of alterations to be over what I purchased the gown for. Needless to say- I went elsewhere.

    I initially chose this tailor due to the “good” reviews on Yelp and Facebook. Unfortunately, this has been an extremely stressful and horrible experience.

    During my initial consultation, they ensured that they were able to tailor my wedding dress to fit my body. It would take about a month to complete this alteration and I trusted that they would be able to keep their promise.

    One week before my wedding, I came to pick you my dress from them. It did not fit like how they said it would and how they had initially pinned on me. They told me that this is all they can do for me and told me to go find a new dress knowing that I only had one week left. They said that they have done all they can and it was not their fault but it was my dress’ fault. They stated that the way my dress was designed made it impossible for them to alter it.

    I have asked the following but never received any answers to my questions. Why didn’t you tell me if you knew you couldn’t alter my dress? Why did you take my money if you knew it was impossible to alter my dress? Why did you wait one month to tell me?

    I am very disappointed and extremely upset. This is a very special and important dress. I believe they would understand as they may have worked with many brides before.

    I had to seek another tailor. My new tailor was able to fix what they have ruined and more. She charged me half of what they charged and will have my dress ready for me in less than a week and just in time for my wedding.

    No one from Cheung’s Tailor reached out to me after I left the shop and they clearly knew I was devastated. The owners have rejected my request for a refund even though they were unable to fulfill their promise.

    As a business owner, they should have the courtesy to fully take responsibility for what they have done wrong. Please do not take advantage of others. This has been an awful experience and I wish that none of their customers will go through this nightmare.
