Do not recommended. Brought in around 5ish items of clothing for small repairs and was extremely disappointed with the sewing that was done. As well felt quite ripped off. Paying $80 for small fixes. Had to sit around for an hour while they fixed the sewing. When I complained in the nicest way possible the owner denied that there was anything wrong.

Worst experience ever. Tried to get them to make a Prince Charlie jacket for my husband for our wedding. They said "no problem...might take a few weeks." They FAILED to tell us they would be contracting it out to INDIA, selected the wrong fabric, and instead of taking weeks it took MONTHS. Contracted them in March, and it was ready in June, days before the actual wedding. They "didn't know where it was" half the time, and I had to physically go into the store and make some noise for anyone to investigate. The manager never showed his face...when I demanded to speak to him

I brought in a suede jacket to have 2 buttons moved. They sewed the buttons tight to the suede without any slack so of course the button hole in the suede could not go over the button. The original buttons were done properly right beside the buttons that had to be moved. This is such a basic sewing thing that I was stunned and had to make an extra trip to have it fixed.

I had two suits and a sport coat to be tailored (sleeves, waist and back shortened) and some pants to be hemmed. I have mixed feelings about writing a negative review.
Even though the staff were friendly and professional, and most alterations were great, the sleeves of one suit and of the sport coat were shortened without leaving a space between the last button and the sleeve. This is a big faux-pas. This misalterations made the suit and the sport coat permanently unwearable and unalterable by any other tailor. Also, I had asked before the tailoring if the suits were alterable, so to say that

Took a new dress in - need shoulder straps & neck strap taken in. They took in too much on shoulders & neck strap and the neck strap - the buttons were considerably off centre (by 2")!
They tried a 2nd time - lengthened the shoulder straps fine - but didn't lengthen neck strap.
Finally - 3rd time - they lengthened the neck strap, but because they had cut off too much material - it's patched.
It's time I left it with them - they required a week to complete alterations. 3 weeks and $54 later..... it's altered correctly - but with a patchwork neck piece. Not

I was hoping this would be a good tailor shop. I took in a jacket and they completely ruined it. They offered to patch a small hole in the sleeve, for 20 dollars. I agreed. When I picked up the jacket, they had not patched it as agreed and instead had cut a large portion out of the sleeve and sewed it up so now one sleeve is incredibly tight and doesn't match the other side. It was a very expensive jacket and it is now basically unwearable.They did this without consulting me. I was very disappointed in the service.
