I have been a longtime client of Sophia's ever since I brought my black hemp silk dress to her for…read morealterations. My previous seamstress had moved out of the GVRD and I was a bit cautious about trusting my "Audrey Hepburn Special" to just anyone. After all, I had sourced designer quality, eco-friendly materials for it back when you couldn't just run down to your local fabric store to get them. Her website was well laid out and pictures detailed. She has a long history working in different sectors of the sewing industry prior to freelancing (Danier Leather, the bridal industry, etc.), so I figured she was my best lead. I left a brief message and my contact info on her website; she called me within 48hours, which was pretty good! I told her I needed my dress altered for a Christmas party. And that there was one more issue: I don't drive, so fittings would have to be done either after my DH got off work, or someplace easily accessible by transit. In those days, we met out at her mom's apartment, which is about 30 minutes away from me via bus. I found both ladies warm and hospitable. In the great Humphrey Bogart's words, "it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Now I hear you saying, "So what about the friendship, how does she sew?" Well, I've worked with many a seamstress, but Sophia's work surpasses theirs. She's an artist, the real deal. Audrey Hepburn and I could never wear the same size dress: you could fit four of her into one of mine! When I brought Sophia my LBD -- actually more of a BBD, since I'm plus sized -- it had been competently sewn from designer fabrics but I had no idea it could be better. After a few fittings, she had taken it in along the sides and in the back and whaddayaknow, I had curves again! It was a revelation. Next she sewed a black silk tap and cami set to coordinate with an existing pair of long bottoms, so I could switch to the tap pants in hot weather. It was a more complicated project as the top had a Battenberg lace applique where the back and shoulders should be. The finished set is a marvel: an invisible zipper in a fitted cami that's a zip to get in and out of, and graduated taps that accentuated my long legs. Supah! Then I had her design a swim skirt to match a retro top I had purchased from a popular retail brand. The top was a red bra with boning and I wanted a black skirt with a red stripe on the hem. What I hadn't counted on was that the bottom cleverly disguises my pot belly! Wahoo! Now she's getting an embroidered vest ready for another Christmas party -- a gorgeous midnight vest with white cherry blossoms with red centres, and a red silk duchesse satin lining to match. And again, Sophia has worked her magic fitting, so I have a waist and butt and defined bust. I can't wait to wear it! I'm sold on Sophia. If you have a special outfit that needs a real professional's touch, looking for a seamstress for some "investment dressing", or if you're have trouble finding off-the-rack that fits, go see Sophia. She keeps all your patterns and measurements on file for future projects. She's friendly, flexible and professional. Her rates (cash or e-transfer) are surprisingly reasonable, given her experience and expertise. Why go anywhere else? She's the best.

The sales Associate - Sammy, was so rude and self important. She had zero customer service and just an overall poor attitude. She simply did not care.

If I were a store owner - this would not be acceptable as it creates a negative perception of the Store it self. Smarten up Sammy!
