Fall is on its way, which means it’s time to start thinking about what’s in your closet. 🍂

Buying a few new pieces for the season? Invest in the fit and have them tailored to you. Pulling your favorite sweaters, coats, and special-occasion pieces out of storage? Give them a refresh before they make their seasonal debut. And if you have a wedding, celebration, or other big event coming up, now is the time to schedule those alterations, not the week before. 😉

Shorewood has skilled local businesses ready to help, from tailoring and alterations to dry cleaning and laundry.

✂️ Oleg Yusufov Master Tailor (1810 E Capitol Drive)
🪡 Bruna’s Tailor & Alterations (4166 N. Oakland Ave)
🧵 Edgewood Tailors & Furriers (3610 N Oakland Avenue)
👗 Natasha's Tailoring And Bridal Boutique (3803 N Oakland Avenue)
✨ Sophisticated Rose (4032 N Wilson Drive)
🧺 Capitol Cleaners (2101 E Capitol Drive)
🫧 My Laundromat (3559 N Oakland Avenue)

A little care can make your clothes look better, fit better, and last longer. So before you fill your fall closet with something new, take a look at what you already have and give your wardrobe a little TLC. ❤️

Stop by Olson House on Sept. 10th to enjoy beautiful art with Emma Daisy! 💐

Back in the Covid days, we did flower shop pop ups on our sidewalk, and a couple of times we brought local art hero Emma Daisy to paint live with us. We’ve been missing those events, so we are bringing back the botanical spectacular to Oakland Ave! Stop by Thursday, September 10th, from 4-8 pm, to immerse yourself in the joy of flowers & celebrate art with The Botanical Collective bringing fresh blooms, and Emma Daisy, who will be live painting and showcasing original paintings. We are so excited, we can barely contain ourselves!
