"Life saver"
If you are anything like me, (a typical male hopeless with sewing and associated activities), then businesses such as Vivian's Clothing Alterations is a godsend. Located on the corner of Riding Road and Monmouth Street Hawthorne, Vivian's has been around for about a decade. On my many visits here, it has always been a pleasure to chat to Vivian herself, and more recently, with Jenny (the new owner).
Whether you need something altered, (like business pants requiring delicate length readjustment), or something mended (like holes in your favourite jumper that you've had for 10 years), then Vivian's will come to the rescue. Before throwing out or giving up on your clothing items (new or old), its worthwhile coming in to Vivian's to see if they have a solution. In most cases they can fix it or alter it for a decent price. They are helpful for all those special occasions, like formals or weddings, and they also provide dry cleaning, as well as ironing services. I once saw a guy come in here with a tub full of business shirts that had just come out of the dryer, and it was obvious he'd decided that ironing all of them was a no-no. But Vivian's would do it!
Service is great, friendly, efficient, and the quality of work for everything I've had done, has always been superb. read more
