Lucia’s Alterations

Dry Cleaning · 4.9 (70 reviews)

At Lucia's Alterations, Lucia brings genuine expertise to a wide range of jobs — expertly pinning and hemming layers of lace, handling delicate tulle, removing and replacing appliqué on wedding gowns, fitting suits, adding straps, shortening dresses, and even replacing a broken parka zipper. Reviewers describe her as knowing exactly what's needed and working remarkably fast, often turning around alterations in a week or less, with some dresses finished in a single day.

Customers consistently praise the high quality of her work and her reasonable prices, and many plan to bring all their tailoring to her going forward. A few notes for visitors: she only takes cash, and while most reviewers find her a true sweetheart, experiences with service can vary. For those in Brightwood looking for careful, professional alterations close to home, Lucia's is a trusted local choice.
