I never write Yelp reviews, but feel compelled to express what a wonderful experience I just had…read more I have a very basic sewing machine that's 20 years old which recently developed a glitch I couldn't resolve. I hemmed and hawed about spending any money to fix something that only cost a couple hundred bucks. But finally I called Molly and she was unbelievably friendly and helpful. Not only did they offer to schedule a repair visit at a low cost, but Molly herself called back and talked me through several possible fixes on the phone, one of which did the trick and got everything working great again. And she did all this FOR FREE! If I ever have a need for any future services, you can bet I know where I am going. I urge you to support this local treasure!!

Machine works perfectly now, and I have to add that Molly is one of the sweetest, kindest and most honest and generous people that you might meet. Highly recommended!

I went in today to have three small fixes. I was rudely responded to that I am not a bride so the…read moreitems would not be seen until early August. If you were open 5 days a week maybe you could support customers with little jobs or just take 40 minutes to help me out. Update: I do not agree with your response. Small mending jobs, hemming, and slight alterations are your bread and butter for the year. I acknowledge that weddings are your priority at this time, but my job would have been quick and could have been added to a days' work. When I spoke with other vendors they acknowledged that was not a good business model, turning away business. While you may think not accepting work and commenting that I was not a bride is a good service conversation, as I read other reviews, many feel you are rude when communicating with them. I commented on your times that you are open because Google said you are open three days a week, your website says 5 days, and other sites say 4. It is not clear to a customer who has to travel downtown for the work.

His showroom of items is not extensive but it provides a good selection of hats, coats, and other items that work well for embroidery. I recommend Karl to anyone who wants to get professional quality embroidery for their business needs or personal use.

With Brooks Brothers severely limiting made to measure, and my bespoke tailor having retired, I…read moreneed a new place for custom suits and accessories. I phoned ahead to confirm Blair Shapera's location and said I would be coming in that day. When I arrived I was told they were down staff and usually work with appointments. This was not mentioned on the phone. However I understand how stuff happens and said I'd return the next day. No harm, no foul, but again, no appointment was required for my dropping by the next day. The next day I did came in and was fitted for a shirt - getting a shirt made is a good way to see how a clothier runs things and the product they produce. I paid, but on the way out Blair explained to me that in the future if I am in the store and someone more important enters then, and I quote: "understand that you will then become invisible to me". What a horrid way to treat people, more so a customer. If I were suddenly made invisible in the middle of a fitting, visit, or appointment because someone better arrived, I would be humiliated, belittled, and likely livid. Fortunately I found out about their attitude toward less-important customers like myself before that situation came to fruition. I wrote them a letter about this experience, explaining how I could not work with a team which would make me a non-person at the opening of a door, and that they could discard the shirt. I don't want a refund, I don't want the shirt. I don't want to do business that would treat me as invisible. Perhaps this is all a massive misunderstanding, but I received no response to my letter. No apology, no clarification, no explanation, nothing. I can only conclude that this truly is how they want to run their business. If you want to go somewhere and risk being treated like a piece of nothing, then this is your place.
