    messy, uneven zig-zag stitch with different thread color that I had specifically asked not to be put there.

    I got my wedding dress tailored with Ziya. I WOULD NOT recommend going to Uni Tailor. TL;DR - I was body shamed several different times and several things I specifically asked to NOT be done to my dress & I was told would not be done were BLATANTLY disregarded and wee done and irreversible. I first brought my wedding dress to Ziya and the top of my corset-style bodice was snug. I said nothing to him to suggest I was unhappy with my body or to suggest that I was trying to lose weight. Rather than seeing the dress and telling me the work that would need to be done to ensure my dress would fit my body properly, Ziya told me he would not cut the dress yet "in case I decide I want to lose weight." *AGAIN, I said nothing about my size or any intention to lose weight. Ziya made this comment at at least 3 of my appointments NOW we movde on to the actual alterations. I will attach a photo, but my dress has a mesh "V" down the front. The cups of my dress were gapping, however, the fix for this was to tailor the breast cups, as taking it in would not have fixed the gapping issue. Ziya asked me if he could just take in the mesh "V" instead (As a seamstress myself, I knew he wanted to do this because it was the easier solution, however it would change the look of the front of the dress entirely). I told him I would like the cups altered and to NOT take in the mesh in the middle. He agreed and while I was wearing the dress, he pinned the cups and marked where he would cut and tailor them. The next appointment, I come in, and the cups were not touched. Instead, there was an ATROCIOUS, messy zig-zig stitch in a different thread color down the middle of the nude mesh. This would not be removable as it would ruin the strength an integrity of the mesh since the needle would have caused holes. Not only did this look awful, but it also made the corset of the dress too tight and not look flattering on me (I had, in fact, lost 8 pounds so it was back to fitting me before he brought in the mesh. He knew the stitch looked bad, to the point that he tried to talk my into putting fabric behind the mesh "V" to "hide" the stitch (This would have also entirely changed the look of the dress). **I HAD SPECIFICALLY TOLD HIM I DID NOT WANT HIM TO DO ANYTHING TO THE V OF THE DRESS** Additionally, I ordered the dress from the shop I bought it at to already come with a shortened train, to the length I waned it to be. Ziya had hemmed the length in the front for my height and asked me if I liked the length, and if I was okay with him cutting off the excess, as it was permanent once the fabric was cut. I said yes, but went out of my way to confirm that he was not going to cut the train. He confirmed there would be no length taken off the train and the next time I came in, the length I agreed to had been cut from the front, but he had also cut the train just as he said he would not. My experience here was horrible. I was left feeling self-conscious of my body, upset with the fit of my dress, and that what I had asked for had been completely disregarded in favor of doing what was easiest. It felt like a complete waste of my $950.

    I love my tailors!!!

    The tailors are professional and talented. The turn around is quick and the location has tons of parking for an easy in and out. They are like family and give me honest feedback and very helpful direction. I can't say enough about how absolutely gifted they are at making clothes compliment your body :)

    I have been to several tailors including two others in Boulder and I have to say that Ziya far surpasses my expectations of service that I would expect.

    When my husband's favorite tent needed the elastic cord in its poles replaced, we checked online…read morewith the manufacturer. It could be done by mail shipping to and from Steamboat Springs, CO. They would check it, send an estimate and with acceptance repair and ship it back. That seemed unnecessarily complicated from a place like Boulder, home of many outdoor gear companies and repair support. We stopped in to the place we had purchased it, our REI store being incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of such repairs, though they don't do any themselves. They gave us two names, Bare Boulder being the most comprehensive and a 20 minute drive away, on a prominent street in Lafayette. I called, got info from the owner, Eli, about general pricing and timing. We took the bag of poles out 3 weeks ago, the estimate in person was at the low end of general approximation on the phone. We dropped it off and was told about 3 weeks as my husband had no need to camp with for at least a month. We picked it up today, ready on time and beautifully done with even higher quality cord than original. The shop is amazing, with antique sewing machine display, thousands of sizes and colors of zippers, piles of buckles and straps. It appears he can fix such parts on almost anything, luggage, jackets, backpacks, scuba BC vests, tents handbags, tote bags, recreation gear galore. We will certainly return as we wear out more and more of our gear.

    Super happy with the work I had done on my leather race suit. Bare Boulder was able to install an…read moreextended zipper and offer a rush service just in time for a trip I needed. You can tell it's high quality craftsmanship
