You have to be careful where you take you clothes for alterations, having worked in retail part…read moretime for years I had heard my fair share of bad experiences with these places, especially the chain alteration places. So after doing some research I discovered Wendy and Tom are trusted to alter clothing for designers, that I thought would be good enough for my $500 pants. These pants were made out of textured fabric and needed taking in on both sides, the legs made skinnier, so it was quite a bit of work. I was so impressed with Wendy and Tom. I went in, put them on, they pinned to how I described I wanted them to be and then when I picked them up in a weeks time, they were done, exactly how I wanted them. Couldn't ask for better than that and I have sent my parents there for alterations too and they were also impressed by the service, great people. Next time you need clothes altered, come here, they do a better job than the others.

Naturally I was curious when a new tailoring and alterations shop opened not far from where I live. Initially I took in a pair of pants that I wasn't too fussed about so it was fine if they were ruined, however when I got them back the work on them was impeccable! And the price was so cheap! I couldn't believe my luck. Next I took in an expensive pair of shorts that I had bought online but were too small when they arrived! I was so upset, so I thought I would ask them if there was anything they could do, she looked at the shorts and said it would be quite difficult but she would try her best. When I got them back? Amazing!!!! She had taken fabric from inside the shorts where it wasn't needed and had totally expanded the waistband! The seam was virtually un-noticeable, and again the job was super cheap! It showed me that you don't have to pay through your nose for a good tailoring job, all you have to do is be brave and try a new place, better yet...try this place!

Really lovely lady and obviously very talented at what she does! I brought her some fabric and a…read moredress that I wanted replicated. She was able to do it in the timeframe that I asked - I even showed up early to the first fitting but the dress was hanging up ready to be tried on. She made sure there were allowances for length, sleeve size, how low the neckline sat etc. so that she could fit it perfectly to my body while keeping the style and detailing identical to the dress I wanted copied. I only wanted a dress I already owned in a different colour but it turned out much better than the original! Perfect fit and very flattering because it was made to fit. She was so helpful and happy to fulfil my requests, all for such a good price. I'm stoked and will be back! Thank you!

This used to be my go to alterations place but it went downhill in my opinion the last few times I…read morevisited and I have now found somewhere else. I find it very expensive, which if fine if you get the perfect end result as you are trusting them with your clothing, but sometimes I didn't get the perfect end result. The last item I got altered here was a pair of pants and they came back too short. This was gutting because they then had to let the hem out to make them a bit longer and they just didn't look right after, not too mention it meant I was without the pants for longer than initially expected. I'm sure the bad experiences I had here aren't regular occurrences as I have had some excellent alterations here, but the bad ones I did have were enough to cause me to look for somewhere else and to be honest I am glad I did as I love my new place.

I called and was informed they included everything but would keep and eye out. No Call whatsoever, after 3 weeks I called and of course they found them. No apologies, I just went in, they handed them over, and good bye. To make matters worse, they didn't even do the work on the pocket that was part of the $460. Seriously - avoid this place like the plague, unresponsive, zero customer service, and poor work (if they even do it)
