They did not have the right length zipper so sewed shut about 6 inches of the opening. The original zipper was hidden from view by a flap but the new zipper is not, it is right on the surface. She did not completely sew in the zipper, leaving a hole at the end that I had to hand sew into place. We brought in a folded, freshly washed duvet but I picked up a jumble of fabric stuffed into a corner of the shop. Nice people and low price if you don't mind them screwing up the job.

Terrible experience with this Tailor…read more I dropped off a winter jacket with broken main zipper and pocket to be fixed in the first week of December 2019. I dropped second jacket off a week later. By January 16th 2020, neither of these two main zippers were fixed. The lady had promised each of them within 3 days!!! As a result, I had to get through several days of a blizzard that hit Victoria with no jackets, and I have no jacket for skiing at Mt. Washington this weekend. To make matters even worse, the lady behaved terribly, interrupted multiples times when I tried to express my feelings, and had nothing but excuses for her mistakes Here are the excuses: 1. The first jacket zipper appeared fixed for a few hours, but she felt it was not her fault that it broke again a day later. This despite the fact that she had promised that the zipper did not need to be replaced and it was her choice not to replace it. This caused some of the delay as the first jacket needed to be brought back. 2. She said openly that she missed a Saturday off work because she woke up and thought it was Sunday, her day off, and did not realize that it was 4:00pm. This after knowing that the weather was cold, and I for one at least had no snow jacket to wear. Guess no work got done that day! 3. She did not try to pick up a new main zipper for the black jacket until January 12th, by which time of course Fabricland where she picks up parts was closed due to blizzard. Okay fine, not her fault for the blizzard, but January 12th for jacket dropped off December 6th???? And after she repeatedly promised them in 3 days!!! What explains that?? In the end, maybe there are happy customers. But what takes the cake in my case, is that beside the blatantly terrible delay of 5-6 weeks to repair these two jackets, in winter no less, the jackets were still not done for my ski trip, and I had to go with broken main zippers. Not only that, but NO REFUND for any of this. She acknowledged that the wait was insanely long and apologized for that, but continued to make excuses, interrupt, and offer NO REFUND. For my part, I don't see how I could have been more restrained and polite, and repeatedly had to ask her to stop interrupting me. Wow. Just Wow. I am still back $36.75 for nothing more than a fixed pocket zipper. To her credit, she offered the other $36.75 back for the second jacket -- but after holding on to it for a month and not doing any work on it. I will never return to this place. Not a mean lady, but I ask you -- how professional is that? If you think it might take 6 weeks to fix a blooming zipper, don't promise 3 days! Good Luck!

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.

The first time I went- although they were in the pick up area, nothing had been done. Tried them on again, the lady pinned them. Today I went back again, when i tried them on the area had not been taken in enough. Maybe it is the simple pinning with safety pins? Anyway after a second trip, they were still not correct. It is quite a trip to get there and now I have to go a third time. There was no acknowledgment or even a hint of an apology. I am very disappointed, it is not a good deal if you have to keep on going back multiple times.

I'm finding that they are now so very busy, that they are rushing, and the quality is no longer there. I'm not sure that the pinning of garments is done in a manner that the people who are actually doing the sewing in the back can understand what they're supposed to be doing. They over promise readiness date and under deliver ... so you're getting items several days after their promised date. Very disappointed

I had a wedding dress that was size 14 and she took it down to about a size 9 (a huge decrease) and it required quite a few changes to the structure of the dress to fit me properly.

I have used another tailor in town in the past and they were not nearly as good (not even close). When I shared that experience with someone they recommended Tetyana and I'm so glad they did.
