I don't actually get to have things altered much. I love clothes and I'm pretty sure not all the stuff I get fits PERFECTLY but I make it work most of the time. I did learn from a friend back in college to always get my pants cut to fit and hemmed and it's been a habit ever since when buying pants to have them altered.
I frequented Alterations Plus before when it was along the second floor Gateway hallway near the LRT turnstiles. The area was always a crowded thoroughfare, but a visit to their business was always pleasant. The staff were always cordial and the place smelled of synthetic fruit. :) Plus they always did my pants justice, even if I sometimes got them cut a little higher than they should be and ended up bitin. Bitin is in na naman, so it's all good.
They increased their prices through the course of time though, so it was off to find other cheaper places to get my pants done. But even if I did get to pay less to get alterations, I was not satisfied with the work I got and I realized I should have just stuck to Alterations Plus.
A true testament to their skill was when I got a good sized hole in a knit pullover and no one else would take it. I was all ready to hike to Kamuning to hunt for a good tailor to put a patch over it, when I thought to bring it to Alterations Plus and they sewed it right up! I now know I will be forever their suki. read more
