Do you have a piece of clothing that you just cannot bare to part with? Maybe it is an investment…read morepiece like a trench coat that is classic, the perfect cut and irreplaceable. Or maybe you're a vintage vixen who shops with a thrifty and keen eye for threads of yesteryear and need a little hem stitched here or waist taken in there. No matter what your sartorial renovation or rescue need, Doree Mending will be your go-to seamstress and sewing godmother. I will admit that maybe 80% of myself chose Doree Mending to repair my long suffering trench coat for its latest round of emergency repairs because of their vintage advertising (what can I say, I'm a sucker for packaging, advertising and design) but it quickly became apparent my admiration for Doree would soon be based on the fact they are wonderfully polite, efficient and affordable with results that speak for themselves. Sure I've had seamstresses in the past promise me invisible stitching only to get my beloved trench back with clearly visible stitching. Looking at my trench after picking it up from Doree I'm having trouble seeing where the mending took place. Don't dilly dally around with others, walk straight off the Queen Street Mall (Queen's Plaza end), into the Tattersalls Arcade and take a sharp right into Doree. PS. When you do, check out the amazing antique library draw cabinet?!?

I wish I'd not been "too cool" as a teenage girl to learn how to sew. I tell you what, it would…read morehave saved me a lot of time and money had I just swallowed my pride and picked up a needle and thread. But alas, we cannot turn back time, so recently when I found some clothes needing to be mended I took them to Doree Quick Mending in Tattersall's Arcade. The little store is so beautiful, lined with old Singer sewing machines. Their slogan is "a stitch in time since 1934" and it really does feel like you have stepped out of a time machine and gone back 60 years. A lady called Mary helped me out and assured me that every garment I had brought in could be fixed. There were a couple of zips needing to be replaced and a few seams needing to be re-sewn and she said that it would all be ready to be picked up in a few days. I was a little bit taken aback by the price ($30 for each of the items needing a zip replaced) but otherwise the service was prompt and polite. When I picked everything up, they looked as good as new. I was really happy with the work the Doree Quick Mending did, but I think in future I will only take the small mending jobs there to avoid forking out as much money as I did the first time.

Sew Master Fashions is one of my little secrets, I don't say that because I think only few people…read moreknow about it because that would be ignorant considering the business has been around for many years, but because I always feel special coming here. I believe if more people knew just how good the service and quality of workmanship was here all of the other alterations businesses would soon be out of business. I often come here and ask If I could get my pants/jeans etc altered within the hour and irrespective of how busy they are they always achieve this without a hassle. They are always friendly and accommodating and I have never been disappointed with the result, on top of that they offer some of the cheapest alterations around. Even the more complex and time consuming alterations like those associated with suiting and leather goods they seem to do it with ease and for an exceptional price. I have had friends get wedding dresses made and altered, clothes made from fabric cut offs they have had lying around, silk saddles put into jeans, moth holes repaired and restored, everything you can imagine they offer. Sew Master Fashions continues to get the Stampy of approval year after year.

From the outside, this little dry cleaners seemed too small and I was afraid they would not do a good job. However, I really needed a local dry cleaner. They only way to find out if this will be my local go-to place, I had to try it out. I brought in a few blazers and one dress. The man receiving the clothes at the counter was very nice. He gave me my docket and said I could either pick it up in the afternoon or next day. I pick them up following day and all were in immaculate condition, as if brand new again. I was thrilled with the great service and quality cleaning they do, that I brought it many other items the next day. It's a great place that is clearly popular amongst other locals and I am delighted to have this little place as my local go-to dry cleaners.

They are very helpful, do a great job. I thoroughly recommend them for small sewing tasks as well.read more

I've come here with split seams, holes, hemming disasters and more. The nice asian ladies here seem very understanding of my fashion woes and manage to perform small miracles. I'll never forget the advice my design teacher told me as well, If you tailor a garment well you are able to drop dress sizes. (And Looksmart promises just that.) Aside from their expert tailoring, they offer a vast range of services from Shortening, resizing, repairing and dry cleaning to hand embroidering, Beading, invisible mending and lengthening. With a handy location in Westfield Chermside (as well as their big sister store in the Myer Centre) This place should be your port of all for all fashion emergencies.

I had an expensive dress which I took to another dry cleaner in Paddington, and told them about the stains I got on the dress for them to get them out.
