    Silk Tailor - seam that got added in the middle of the dress only on the front, despite the bottom also being cut

    High Price, Disappointing Results…read more I'm sharing my experience with this tailor in a neutral and factual way, hoping it will be helpful to others. Before coming here, I had visited two other tailors but chose not to leave my coat with them for various reasons. I mentioned this to the tailor. After reading the positive reviews, I decided to give this place a try. When I arrived, the tailor spoke at length about his experience and the places he had worked around the world. The price quoted was $75 plus tax, which is higher than what other tailors had offered, but I decided to proceed based on his confidence and self-presentation. I requested a sleeve shortening and specifically asked for the stitching to match the original. When I picked up the coat, I was disappointed. The sleeve stitching was not straight and did not match the original style, which was surprising given the emphasis on his 20+ years of experience. Overall, my experience was not very positive, especially considering the higher price compared to other tailors.

    For almost $100, I took a dress worth $1000, and they made it look worth less than $100…read more Initially, my dress had looked something like the first image. My only issue with the dress, was that it was too long in the front. I asked to keep the dress long, but that I needed the front a bit shorter so I could walk without tripping. I had expected the altered result to look something like the second image. However, the dress came out with an added seam and unevenly long. The dress itself and the tail were now two different parts, and the dress flowed completely differently. Not to mention, despite the ends of the dress being trimmed, there was two added seams making something that looked like a belt pattern in the middle of the torso. Nothing was mentioned about this, and it looked terribly odd only in the front and with a backless dress. When visiting, the change rooms were dark and had almost no light, minus the light shining in from the other side of the curtain. I had brought in my dress 4 days before needing it. However, on the day of needing it, a few hours before I was supposed to pick it up, I was asked to come in again because he had forgotten to mark the dress. I trusted Silk Tailor with a dress I had genuinely loved so much, and had needed for an important event, and now I'm left with a dress I feel ashamed to wear to such a special occasion. I'm planning to completely replace the dress if I can. I'm not sure if the images are posting properly, there should be 8 of them. They might not be in order as well, so just go by photo caption.

    This is a long overdue review, but I just wanted to rave about how great Toronto Tees is. As it was…read moremy first time ever purchasing a customized t-shirt NOT in bulk, I was curious as to what the process would entail and what the prices would be. A lot of my friends have quirky sense of humours, so I thought a creative present for Christmas this year would be custom t-shirts. I've walked past Toronto Tees several times on Yonge Street, as it's bright display with humorous t-shirts is hard to miss, and decided to give it a try this holiday. My friend and I dropped by so that we could get four custom t-shirts with a logo we had come up with only in our minds (but hadn't drawn) done. ...The verdict for Toronto Tees? 110% worth it. It should be EVERYONE's go-to for a memorable, thoughtful, and unique present that's sure to get a laugh from the Prices: Really, really affordable! I purchased a custom t-shirt for about $20-25. The more you order, the bigger the discount (I ordered one, so I think it came to about $25). The people working there also very understanding when it comes to working on a budget, so if you're not sure what your t-shirt will come to, feel free to ask them questions and discuss it with them. Set-up: Toronto Tees is a surprisingly clean and spacious store. One of my favourite things about it is that it contains a tasteful wall gallery of sample t-shirts that have been made before, with different logos and images used; from there, you can choose if you want a similar logo or image (maybe with different words or phrases, etc.), or you can design your own or bring your own image for them to print on a t-shirt for you. There's a big screen in front of the counter facing you, where they will design the logo of the shirt or draw up a sketch of the shirt so that you can see exactly what it'll look like before they print it - and if you'd like to make any changes/suggestions to it, they can accomodate that, too! You can also watch as they print the t-shirts right in front of you -it's a totally transparent process, and I love the relaxed atmosphere of the store (they really don't judge you on what you want on your t-shirt.) The person who helped us, Marvin, even took the time to explain to us what he was doing, and the steps involved in t-shirt printing, as he did it. Service: HUGE shout out to Marvin* (I think that was his name!), who was really friendly and made our experience a great one! Marvin was totally cool not only with the fact that we didn't have an image of the logo we wanted on our T-shirt, but even asked us to show him pictures of what we had in mind. In front of our very eyes (I'm sounding a bit melodramatic here, but it really was a cool thing to see,) he started to design a logo exactly like the one we had imagined. After asking us for our input, he then helped us to pick out t-shirts that we could have our logo printed on. Seriously, I can't rave enough about how much patience, creativity, and dedication the staff here have - Marvin was hilarious, very accomodating, and more than willing to go above and beyond to help us to create the perfect t-shirt. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to fonts, so to see Marvin design a logo with the exact font I had had in mine, and to recreate an image that I showed him from the internet, was amazing. Thanks, Marvin - because of you, we'll definitely be coming back to order more t-shirts! Ask for him the next time you're at the store. Product: The t-shirts at Toronto Tees are a great quality. The stores I usually shop at for t-shirts include Aritzia (on the pricier side,) and Forever 21/H&M when I'm not as willing to splurge. I can say that Toronto Tees is a great in-between - their t-shirts don't fray, they hold up well, and they stay true to their size. They also have a nice, diverse selection of colours and sizes! The final results: Our T-shirts looked FABULOUS. The four of my friends and I can't stop wearing them, and we get compliments all the time on where we got the t-shirts. It feels cool to say that it was a custom order, and made an awesome present. I'll definitely be coming back. This place is my new gifting go-to!

    Put in an order on the weekend online and it was ready to pick up on Wednesday!…read more I had walked by this store many times and never realized how big their operation is! The location is very simple and industrial - and if you want to the side of the building on Maitland you can actually see the t shirt printing presses! The employees were nice, t shirt is great quality, and I'll definitely order here again!

    I've not been doing voice work for very long, but for the amount of work I've done, I have these…read morefolks to thank or blame, depending upon your look at it. Not only do they run their own full-on agency to produce commercial voice work, they also provide courses for you, the uninitiated, to step into the world of voice acting. Courses can be taken in a group setting or one-on-one, depending upon your preference. Once you're done, you get a demo with your first ever (I'm guessing) voice tracks. This you can shop around, put on your website, all that fun stuff. The courses are informative, informal, and fun. If you've ever thought about giving voice work a try, this is definitely a place to go. As mentioned, they also produce some fantastic work, and is worth simply auditioning just for the relaxing waiting area that has comfy couches, magazines, and friendly reception staff. There's also fish you can stare at that will calm you down before you go in for your audition. For voice work this is a great place to start.

    pirate is one of the biggest recording studios in canada and whether you are there to audition, to…read morerecord voice over, or as a client, itll be a pleasurable experience. the decor is very chill; they have couches in the front to lounge and pour over your script, glass doors overlooking the hallway so it feels open and comfortable studios to record in. i took a commercial voiceover workshop there that was fantastic and taught by a woman named tracey hoyt, who herself, was fantastic. she was very efficient, funny, and supportive. the way it worked was that, as a student, youd be given 2 commerical radio scripts based on your preferences (ie./ narration, straight, comic/character, announcer, etc.,) that you gave tracey beforehand. everyone listened to everyone else's reads, tracey's comments and got to do it again so there were a few reads from which to choose. the best reads were recorded on a demo and later given to the pirate casting directors for the potential of getting future auditions. great setup. one voiceover job more than pays for the course.
