I can't recommend Pearl Alterations highly enough…read more I had purchased a beautiful designer satin gown online for an important family wedding in the UK, but when it arrived just a week before I was due to leave, it was almost two sizes too large. I immediately called my usual alterations shop, but they were fully booked and couldn't fit me in. After reading the excellent reviews for Pearl Alterations, I decided to call. The owner encouraged me to come in straight away, explaining that once he saw the dress he could give me a quote and let me know if it could be completed before my flight. From the moment I met him, he was warm and welcoming. He immediately put me at ease during what was quite a stressful situation, and I felt confident that my dress was in experienced hands. When I tried the dress on, I honestly wasn't optimistic. It fit terribly around the bust and I couldn't imagine how it could ever look flattering. Within minutes, using just a few pins, he completely transformed the fit. I could suddenly see the beautiful dress I'd hoped I'd bought! The workmanship was exceptional. Satin is notoriously difficult to alter, but every change was beautifully executed and completely invisible. The dress now fits as though it was custom made for me. What impressed me even more was his professionalism and attention to detail. He had the dress finished two days before my flight, giving us time for any final adjustments if needed. Thankfully, none were necessary because the fit was absolutely perfect. During our conversation, I learned he has over 40 years of tailoring experience, and it certainly shows. I was also pleasantly surprised by how fair and honest his pricing was. I felt the cost was extremely reasonable and represented excellent value for the quality of workmanship. I'm absolutely thrilled with the result and so grateful to have found such an outstanding tailor. If you're looking for someone with exceptional skill, fair pricing, integrity and genuinely friendly service, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pearl Alterations. Thank you for helping me feel confident and excited to wear my dress!

I've been a loyal customer of Pearl Alterations Dry Cleaning for years and always appreciated the…read morequality of their work--until recently. My wife went in to address a clear mistake on an alteration, and instead of handling the situation professionally, the owner she spoke with was extremely rude and dismissive. The tone and behavior came across as outright misogynistic, which is both shocking and unacceptable in this day and age. What's worse is that we've trusted this business for so long, but this experience completely shattered that trust. I cannot recommend this shop anymore. Treating loyal customers--and anyone, for that matter--with respect should be the bare minimum.

I can't believe I have yet to give props to my alterations man, Howard!!! He is the best there is…read more When I first moved to Toronto, I took many chances on several different places for alterations--everything from jeans to dresses and a couple of things in between and I have to say that Stitch Master is where it's at. Prices are amazing for what you get: turn-around time is excellent (sometimes he gets the job done before the appointed pick-up day, and this, during his busy season!), and the quality is top-notch and professional. I've gone to places downtown but found them way overpriced, quality very meh and their hours weren't all that convenient--for the same job that Howard can do in less time with fewer hassles AND lower prices. He is located along Dufferin (near Yorkdale Mall) in a plaza with Seoul House Restaurant, Fabricland, Marche Istanbul (stop in for baklava if you're there, they get their delivery on Thursdays and they're right next door), a florist, and a couple of other businesses you may find useful. I can't recall if he does custom clothing but I know that he was a tailor back in his native Hong Kong. He's super-sweet too; I've had some 911 situations and he's always come through. I feel bad that sometimes I'm so forgetful and run to him last-minute but he's really good like that. Don't be pushy with him though, if he says no, just let it go, especially in the summer or near the holidays as those are his busiest times. It's only him and another woman that do all the work. He's done some pretty amazing things with clothes I bought because I loved them but they were either to big for me or not snug in the right places (dresses, skirts, even tops!), and he made them fit PERFECTLY. He's also worked on some of my leather jackets as I can never find the perfect one--I've had him remove little details that I want to have disappear--and not a single stitch out of place or hole left in the leather. My jackets come out looking like they were made that way! He can do some crazy things with jeans too--a friend of mine who referred me to him in the first place goes there so he can work his magic on every single pair of hers and just when I thought she couldn't have a nicer ass, hers looks like God made it himself in her modified jeans!! I've been to places that have messed a few things up but this never happens with Howard. If I have items that I want but something isn't right, I don't risk taking it to some place based on price or convenience as I'm terrified of what I'll get back but I never have to deal with that kind of stress with Howard. If he can't do the job, he will tell you on the spot and that's only happened once. If ever you're out shopping and unsure of an item due to fit, buy it (check the store's return policy first!) and bring it in and if Howard can't do it, you can always return the item. Very low risk but worth the trouble. You'll see! (I can't recall if he's cash only but bring some anyhow!)

I called up Metro Cleaners and had my answer promptly which at the end they welcomed me to walk in anytime. I arrived an hour later to the shop and was greeted by who I presume is the owner, she is very sweet! She then told me the cost would be $50 for the down jacket and offered me pick up the next day anytime after 5 and passed me a slip for pickup. They did a great job dry cleaning my jacket it looks new again! I was afraid it would've been too difficult to wash out all of the salt on my jacket but it is all gone. On top of that, my pockets were also cleaned out which was great considering lint and crumbs in general tend to populate there. On site there is also a dedicated tailor, I definitely have a couple pants that need to be shortened and hemmed so I look forward to returning here for so.

Once upon a time, I was getting ready to head out to attend a wedding, the button that held my jumpsuit together flew off! Thus rendering my outfit useless. I needed to find a new dress or outfit PRONTO! The stress! I went in there on a whim to see if they can do anything. The owner is so friendly and flexible and fixed it on the spot. She even happened to have the right size button to replace it. I didn't even know where the button flew. They did it for such a small fee. TOTAL LIFESAVER MOMENT! As I had little time left. For anyone else who is also bankrupt in the department of basic sewing skills, she also provides minor stitches and repairs for an affordable price extending the life of some of my Lululemon clothing. 5-Stars all around!

This business specializes in alterations, suit making and tailoring. Our family has been using the services of Mister Alterations for years. The man behind this business, Mr. Nomura, is a professional tailor who has been practising his craft in both in Japan and Canada for many, many years. He makes great suits, but he also does a fantabulous job at hemming clothes. Mr. Nomura is very efficient and can hem your clothes within hours. I had a work function and had to get my slacks of my suit hemmed. Being the last minute person that I am, I realized the day before that my slacks were too long. Mister Alterations came to the rescue and he was able to make them vertically appropriate by the next morning. They looked (and still look) a w e s o m e ~ !! Prices here are extremely reasonable. You can get pants/skirts hemmed for under $10. Conveniently located, this establishment is a couple of blocks south of Eglinton Station.

By the way, he moved a couple of blocks south from his old location. The phone number is the same but I'm not sure the address is correct. It's better to call him to double-check the address if you've never been there.
