Hi,
I actually asked this recently to another group I am involved with... havent brought my alterations in yet, but here's the recommendations:

Well I know of a good tailor but it is behind the Yorktown Mall. It is called Joe's Tailor. A friend of mine referred me there - I needed to have a dress altered. They did a great job and in a timely fashion. While I was there, I noticed there were a lot of regulars coming in and out. Hope this is of some help to you!
There is a FANTASTIC place in downtown Wheaton. George's Tailoring,and they do EXCELLENT work and the prices are lower than any place around.
Just met a lady recently who did a great job inexpensively -- her name is Avalon. Alterations by Avalon, ###-###-#### -- She is near 87th and Route 59.
I know people that have gone to a girl in Naperville. She operates out of her home. She's just off the corner of Ogden Ave & Washington. Shes on the Southwest corner of Ogden & Main. I think she has a sign in her yard that reads "Alterations by Jo" If you drive by you could get her phone number and see whats what.
I had a lady here in Bolingbrook sew all my bridesmaid's dresses a few years back. She did alterations, too, although I'm not sure she's still in business. Her name is Shirley Brandon; her business card says "The Sewing Lady". Her number is ###-###-####. She's trustworthy and reasonable. Good luck.
