I couldn't have coped without the support of these wonderful people, and patient explanations of how the process worked, especially as a lot of it was done long distance via email and telephone. I highly recommend their services for anyone needing a discreet, empathic and caring funeral director in the greater Brisbane area, even if you're interstate or overseas!

I am from the Silicon Valley in CA . I attended my brother's funeral here in Brisbane during the…read moreChristmas holiday season which should be the time of cheers & celebration ! But my beloved brother suddenly passed away so the Smith funeral was called by my nephew/niece ! They responded immediately, communicated & worked well with the family ! I am so glad & happy especially during the final moment at the chapel, we were able to view him for the last time in a nice coffin with a beautiful, freshly arranged multi colored big bulb roses on top ! The Smith representatives greeted & distributed the program to the people, during my Brother's celebration of life, I gave my Eulogy, sound system & the music were perfect, there were Kleenex & cold drinks, what touched me the most was that the Smith representative vow everytime in front of my brother's coffin, what a good sign of respect ! I highly recommend their high standard services, they made us feel happy & satisfied at the time of mourning ! Well done & thank you so much !

It was nice to know that I everything had been organised and I didn't have to do the run around.

Jane is my favourite seamstress, be. Jane's alteration work is extremely detail oriented and very…read moreprofessional. Jane took the time to really find out what I was looking for and the finished product reflected. My alteration needed a very skilful seamstress and I was amazed at how much effort Jane went to above and beyond to make my beautiful winter coat perfect. The alteration was very reasonable, the work was carried out quickly and I received a text notifying me it was ready - simple but highly effective process. I will be only getting my alterations at HosiKozi. Jenny on the desk was friendly, helpful and a boon for this business. Helen

So if you only require one uniform (or need a replacement) HosiKozi will happily process your purchase. These guys specialise in school uniforms, and they also stock the various paraphernalia required for the start of the school year. (Think socks, shoes, hair ties and the like.) While the location puts this store in relative isolation, It's well worth a trek out to pick up some quality threads for your school or business.
I don't have a bad word to say about the lovely, lovely team at Brisbane City Alterations. I dealt…read morewith them in both professional and personal capacities for more than three years and they are always spectacular to deal with. All you have to do is request something and they'll do their very best to deliver. That goes for same-day alterations and difficult jobs. Their speciality is pant and trouser alterations by far, and can accommodate for any request you have. Brisbane City Alterations is a great service because they accept your clothing whether you call before hand or just wander in. They're so helpful and ridiculously fast at their job. One time in particular, I sat there and waited and they were done in about ten minutes. Totally efficient, excellent workmanship. They're trusted by companies and individuals alike and can alter anything from pocket holes and pant legs to jacket arms (which is apparently pretty tricky).
I cant recommend this place enough. My partner and I flew to Brisbane from New Zealand for a…read morewedding, where he was actually one of the bridesmaids IN the wedding. Because of this, he had his suit custom-made and tailored to him, here in New Zealand, but they had royally messed it up. The pants were extremely baggy, didn't fit properly, bunched at the ankles, etc. Because he was given back the suit the day before we flew out, there was no time to fix it. I had contacted The Fitting Room via email before we arrived, because they were the closest place to our hotel, explaining the situation, and seeing if there was anything at all they could do. They got back to me right away, and said sure thing, bring it in. Long story not so short, the woman we dealt with was AMAZING and so funny and pleasant. Not only did they fix his suit perfectly for him, but they did it with such a big time restraint, and fixed a huge problem that we thought was inevitable to fix. Can't recommend this place enough. Thank you so much for your amazing service and prompt attention! We are very grateful to have randomly stumbled across you and will recommend to everyone! -Cassie and Alex
Sew Master Fashions is one of my little secrets, I don't say that because I think only few people…read moreknow about it because that would be ignorant considering the business has been around for many years, but because I always feel special coming here. I believe if more people knew just how good the service and quality of workmanship was here all of the other alterations businesses would soon be out of business. I often come here and ask If I could get my pants/jeans etc altered within the hour and irrespective of how busy they are they always achieve this without a hassle. They are always friendly and accommodating and I have never been disappointed with the result, on top of that they offer some of the cheapest alterations around. Even the more complex and time consuming alterations like those associated with suiting and leather goods they seem to do it with ease and for an exceptional price. I have had friends get wedding dresses made and altered, clothes made from fabric cut offs they have had lying around, silk saddles put into jeans, moth holes repaired and restored, everything you can imagine they offer. Sew Master Fashions continues to get the Stampy of approval year after year.

Charged my elderly father $102 for 3 items to be dry cleaned! When I rang and complained they said they would take $20 off when we picked the items up, which they did not do. Even at $82 it would of been a rip off! If that is how they treat elderly pensioners, imagine what they would do to you. I hope they don't have elderly parents and have to watch them being taken advantage of :(
Tatjana was very quick to respond to my initial email, which I appreciated. However, my experience…read moreafter that was disappointing. When I attended my appointment to have my wedding dress hemmed, Tatjana quoted $200, which I agreed to. After she had already started pinning the dress, I went to pay a deposit and was then told the cost was $300. When my bridesmaid mentioned that we had agreed to $200, Tatjana insisted the price was always $300. At that point, I felt uncomfortable arguing as we were in her home and my dress was already pinned. When I returned to collect my dress, I wasn't happy with the finish of the hem. The bottom line did not sit well, but Tatjana dismissed my concerns without properly assessing it and said it was "how it's meant to be" and that nothing could be done. After taking the dress home, I realised the hem had been glued rather than properly sewn. I am extremely disappointed that I paid $300 for work that now needs to be redone. Overall, this was a very poor experience and a waste of money. I would not recommend Tatjana, particularly for something as important as a wedding dress.
