I'll just start off by saying that i've taken clothes to Elizabeth's for years! She was always…read moresuper prompt and charged a fair price. Her tailoring business essentially operated out of a coat closet, but she was highly organized and generally just a sweet lady. Not so anymore... Sadly, Elizabeth seems to have sold her Tailoring shop, and the results aren't good. I will give you a few details as to how this operation seems to have changed. First off- I was a little put off by the new owners over use of the terms 'sweetie' and 'honey' - you don't want to feel creeped out by the middle aged man taking your measurements... The other disappointment was that my clothes were not ready for the pick up date I had been told... on top of this, I had to try the pants on again so he could measure the hem and while I waited for him to come measure me, he got into an altercation with another customer that ended with him asking her to leave and never come back. Awkward! - All in all, this place was great when it was Elizabeth's Tailoring shop but it isn't anymore and I think i'll be trying out new tailors in future.

I asked her to put it on the receipt . I arrived to pick up the dress and it was not done! I ended up having to pick up the dress the DAY of the WEDDING! The dress was an a-line with no waist it did not have to be pinned. Just one inch in on either side. She did hem it but I do could not tell if she took it in the sides as fit felt the same and the stiching did not look any different! After all this she charged me 74.00!! WARNING - stay away.

I went to Lillian with a suit that I needed tailored for an event. I mentioned the date I needed…read moreit, and she said it was no problem. The suit was too big, both pants and jacket, and needed to be adjusted. Lillian was friendly and took measurements, gave me a price, and I went on my way. She asked me to come in a few days before I needed it to do final measurements to see if there were any changes necessary. She did not get me to try on the pants, and said they were fine. I tried on the jacket and there seemed to be very little change. I mentioned that I thought it needed to be quite a bit smaller. She said okay, that she could take it in more, and then I left. When it came time to pick up the suit, I went in and tried it on. The pants were incredibly baggy, a few inches too loose in the waist, and a total disappointment. The jacket was also too big. Wearing the suit, I looked like a child who dressed up in his father's clothes. I mentioned that I thought it was too big, and she said I was wrong, that it fit me well. I was disappointed, but thought maybe I was being too judgmental. I paid (which I now regret doing) as I needed the suit for that evening, and took it home. Upon trying it on again at home, I realized it was not wearable. My girlfriend took a glance at it and immediately said that it was ill-fitting and I could not wear it in public. Within an hour of picking it up, I called Lillian and mentioned that I thought it was too large. She immediately became quite rude, said I was wrong, that it fit me, and that I needed another opinion. I said that my opinion was the only thing that mattered, and asked that she fix it or refund my money. At first she refused, saying that it fit me, and that if I wanted something different I should go somewhere else. Eventually she said I could bring it in "in two weeks" and then she rudely hung up on me. I decided that if she could not do the job the first time, she would not be able to do it a second time, so I let it go. I was extremely disappointed with the quality of work and the level of service I received when I mentioned my concerns. I am doubtful she did any work whatsoever on the pants, and while she did some work on the jacket, it is still not suitable at all. The experience was disappointing, a waste of $150, and left me with a suit that I now have to spend similar money to have someone fix. I would not recommend this shop.

With a couple suits in need of a freshening up, I headed towards the nearby Metro Green Cleaners…read more I was greeted by a friendly middle aged couple that quickly took my clothes and I was on my merry way. I wasn't in any rush for them, so I came back a few days later. At $17 per two-piece suit, prices seemed in line with what I remembered from the cleaner in my old neighbourhood. Reading up before writing this, it seems that they avoid using the regular dry cleaning chemicals, in favour of more environmentally friendly ones, so kudos to them!

Maria and her sister do a great job dry cleaning - they remember that I don't have my flat-front…read morechinos creased and that everything is no starch and on hangers. This is the reason I switched from Koolex to SameDay. Koolex kept screwing up my pants by putting creases in them. Problem with Sameday is the stale smell of the place that gets into my clothes which means I have to air them out before I put them in my closet. The next problem was how Maria handled my telling her that there was a stale odor of food and clothes in the shop. It's not easy to summon the courage to inform a business operator when you detect a customer experience issue - and Maria dumped the issue squarely back on me, leaving me to understand that if I smelled something then I was the only person in the world who could smell it and that, as a result, she was not interested in doing anything about it. When I said I smelled a stale odor Maria's response was not one of concern for my experience. Instead, she became defensive and said "No one's ever said anything before." - as if to suggest that I anything I smell must first be validated by some representative group of customers. When I suggested that many people would shy away from the potential conflict of raising such a sensitive issue and that I offered the feedback in kindness, she didn't seem to care. "No one's ever said anything before." she repeated. I give up and will now go looking for another odor neutral dry cleaner.

I was somewhat disappointed with the service at this location. I went there with my coat, since I…read moresaw a good review for the other location, and it had a convincing website. I dropped it off to the girl working at the front counter, and as I did so I also asked her if it would be possible for them to dye my white coat a darker colour after they dry cleaned it. She said that she was pretty sure they could, but I should ask the main guy when I picked the coat up, just in case. When I returned the next day I encountered an abrupt woman who informed me that 'no, there's no way we can do that, and there's nobody else who can.' Then she charged me $20 for the coat cleaning, which is apparently their standard coat fee. I found it a little high; I've owned this white coat for a few years now, and I've never paid more than 10-15 dollars to clean it. It was clean though, so I guess this place is ok.

The man working was very professional and I was able to try on my pants in a little changing room so he could pin the correct length. The quality of the work done was great. The only reason I'm only giving 4 stars out of 5 is that I was told my pants would be finished two days later by 11am (I said I could pick them up in two days before noon, or I could get them the following week as there was no rush). I arrived to pick them up at 11:35am while on my way to work, and I ended up having to wait 5 minutes while he finished one of my pants in front of me. It wasn't a big deal, but if I I had come at 11am when he said they would be done then I would have waited 40 minutes or I would have had to come back to get my pants on another day. I would recommend this tailor, but I would suggest giving them more time to finish your items, even if they sound confident that they will have it done in a couple of days.

They also had my dress for 2 weeks in their store. The day before I called and asked if it would be ready, and they told me not until after 5pm. So my dress just sat there for 2 weeks. And the girl at the counter misread the calendar and put my "due back by" date as a Saturday when it was suppose to be the Friday (the day before). The hem was an inch too long but I wasn't about to wait another 2 weeks to get my dress back again from them. There is no price list in this store. They just shouted out a price off the top of their heads. I then asked to have the top tacked as it was a bit too big. The seam didn't have to be taken in (the seamstress agreed). This was another $40. I found this place, while friendly, very overpriced and I don't like going into places where they come up with a cost off the top of their head. I won't be returning to this location.
