They are not necessarily the cheapest however when you have formal wear, while cheap is a bonus, you want someone with exceptional skills to work on your dress(es). I highly recommend them!

They are very knowledgeable and skilled. The only downside is that they are on the pricier side.

My granddaughter wanted her mother's vintage prom dress altered to wear to her prom this year…read more Lieu was amazing. She took in the dress, added tulle to add body to the flow of the dress and made a wonderful shawl to add to the look. It is a reimagining of a dress that was last worn 26 years ago. Excellent combination of technical sewing skills, meticulous attention to detail, understanding of fabric behaviour and just alteration expertise. Great price for the work done. In my opinion Lieu is the only seamstress needed for any and all needs you have. Well done!!!!!!!

I was waiting to get a few more uses out of the bespoke suit that I had made by the Wong brothers…read more However, I just took a peek at what I had hanging in the closet and it brought back many emotions about the journey. I'll save a bunch of details since others have written just as much praise for the fantastic generations of men who have served the Vancouver area for 100yrs and focus on my own experience. I had made the decision to have a suit custom tailored at Modernize Tailor because it's the place my grandfather had gone decades ago to get his very own suits made. I wanted to own a piece of history that is multiple generations old and that meant ensuring the suit was made by the same hands that would have created the timeless pieces that my grandfather would have worn. It was not cheap and it was not lightning fast. In fact, I didn't make it any faster by being very particular about the bolt of wool that I would wear with pride. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough material left to make a full jacket and pants for me and I ended up spending more hours digging through the famous "stash" of finely-aged bolts of fabric before finding something from a new collection of British wools that gave me the same level of excitement. Steven and I spent quite a bit of time talking about what makes a suit and how I will be wearing the single-buttoned, side-vented, and fish-mouth notched and narrow lapelled gem that I had been visualizing for months. Thinking about the all the options I had, I sat on a couch in the foyer of a residential building where Modernize Tailors has returned to their origins after years of being across the street. The results of our conversation and all this time to decide had me re-thinking many elements of the design and fit that I was looking to achieve. Ultimately, I'm so glad that it did. The result was an instant classic. Little work needed to be done upon pickup of the finished masterpiece which took nearly three months due to vacation time for both them and myself. I was picky about a little bit of neck roll just below the collar and I decided it was necessary to turn it into a two-button jacket to make the overall look more professional and proportional. It was a non-issue for them to take care of and an hour later, I walked out of Modernize Tailor with a giant grin on my face. No, I wasn't wearing the suit on my way back to my car. In fact, the suit wasn't even put in a special travel bag or anything. It sat on a very plain hanger, but I just felt better about myself holding it. Chinatown has changed quite a bit since my grandfather would have been walking those same streets, but I'm sure he felt the same way after picking up his new apparel from the Wong brothers. In closing, you don't buy a suit from Modernize Tailors. You are buying a piece of history.

Very poor customer service. I strongly do not recommend anyone take any items here for altering. I…read morehad gone here with my daughter and were treated so terribly. my daughters pants were hemmed to two different lengths, the shorter leg unfortunately being too short. Even though there are photos of proof of how the pants were to be hemmed correctly the owner Nayer took no accountability for the error made by her seamstres. My daughter was treated as though this was her error. The seamstress Tina had only pinned one leg(the right one) and that was the correct pant leg length-yet the owner saw the picture with the pinned pants and no ownership on their part was taken. An apology and accountability would have been nice but instead we were met with a too bad so sad over my daughters 300$ pants. Stay away if you do not want to be treated like this.

Sara (the owner) saved my sanity...and my wedding dress!…read more I made the mistake of buying one of those custom made-to-order dresses online. Luckily, the materials and design were very good, but the measurements were way off, there were bulging seams, even a tear inside the dress. Not to mention that it was 2 weeks later than it was supposed to be. I was running out of time and was in full panic mode. A friend recommended Alma Bridal to me, so I called and she got me in right away. Sara put my mind at ease, telling me it was a lovely dress and she would have no problems fixing it in time for the wedding. As promised, my dress fit perfectly when she was done with it. I felt like a princess on my wedding day, and she kept me from losing my mind trying to find a last-minute dress in the weeks before my wedding. I can't thank her enough. I wish I had bought locally instead of ordering online...good seamstresses cost good money, and wedding dresses are layered and beaded out the wazoo. They're not easy to fix if something goes sideways.
