He looked at me with shock when I told him when I needed the dress. He said prom dresses need a least a couple of weeks to be done and he had so many to do. I apologized for my ignorance and told its ok if he's wasn't able to take on the work but he told me it was ok and that he just wouldn't take on any other work. I couldn't believe how accommodating he was being. I was so appreciative that I didn't even ask how much it would cost. He even gave me a date 2 days before prom to pick it up. I have to admit that when I left I began to worry about the cost of this rush job but when I returned not only had he done an amazing job with the dress he only charged me $40 for the work!! This guy is the best and so affordable. I will definitely return. Best experience ever!!

I bought a $650 dress for my friend's wedding...a gorgeous pleated gown with an uneven,…read morehandkerchief hem. But it was about 7" too long for me. I brought it into Golden Thread (having read so many positive reviews on Google) and Seba suggested removing 7" from the centre of the gown instead of messing with the beautiful uneven details of the hem. No doubt, this was a complicated task but she pulled it off perfectly. She also took in the bodice a bit, and sewed in "cookies" (booby pads) as well. All turned out great - the dress was a big hit. I'd definitely trust Seba for all future alterations.

Definitely old school appearance. Nothing modern or new. Extra shelves and cabinets seemed to be stored in the front lobby which made it feel like a sketchy storage room/someone's unkept living room.

Upon first entry I was a little nervous, but I held true (mostly because the first place I visited told me it would be about 6 weeks until I got my clothes back). As it turns out I had nothing to worry about. I got my two dresses back in a week, and a $18 price tag hits the spot. From what I can see the work that was done (zipper replacement and shortening the straps) was done well. The only downsides. They don't seem very "professional". I've entered when there was no one there and had to wait quite a while to have someone come down. Also, when my dress was returned it did smell a little like an old man. Still.

So far: friendly guy, seems confident, and is eager to serve. He offered to have me double check the alteration before I left, which I've never had offered before. It's not really worth it to have me put my pants on and measure pant legs when the service is only $6! Impressive.
