mostly dress shirts and I'll be taking H's suit for this weekend

Does your dry cleaner offer alterations? Do you trust them?
I'm very hesitant to have people do my alterations because I'm spoiled to my grandmother always doing mine. I think my regular does, but I used a different place when I had to have something done more quickly.

I was going to ditto this, except I took in a ballgown ONE time in high school and they fucked up the tulle. I haven't gone back to a cleaner of any type since.

Never ever. I also wash everything and hope for the best.

I'm just too lazy to iron dress shirts.

I ask because when I take shirts or slacks to the cleaners, I have to specify "no starch". I felt certain that it was a regional thing. Sounds like it is.

How often do you have clothes dry cleaned? As needed. I take stuff in maybe 3-4 times a year.

What kind of clothes do you dry clean? Wool coats, suits, some skirts and dresses that require it

Do you have any of your clothes starched? Which ones?  Nop

ETA: If no, do you have to specify that you don't want starch?

Does your dry cleaner offer alterations? Do you trust them? They do, but I haven't tried them. There was a cleaner I used to go to where I had alterations done, but they closed, and I haven't had the need for any alterations since then. I'd probably trust most dry cleaners for basic stuff like hemming. If it's something more complicated, I'd probably look for a dedicated tailor.

I haven't been to a dry cleaner's in 3 or more years. I purposely buy things that don't require dry cleaning because I am super lazy about it.

Jerry has his work shirts (the button down shirts under his suits) laundered and pressed weekly.

I maybe bring things in for dry cleaning twice a year.  Usually at the end of the season when I need to store them away.
