Just picked up my L.L.Bean Leather Bomber Jacket fitted with a new zip…read more The replacement nylon zip is smoother running than the original brass one. Considering the skill and time involved the cost was reasonable. The jacket is now better than ever! Thank You

A lot of good reviews. Here is my one visit: Went there last…read moreweek for the first time as a nearby tailor shop at Village Green closed at end of Covid. Lady was not the owner but very mouthy. She did not care to measure all of the legs on my three pairs of Eddie Bauer "Legend" pants. They are good wearing everyday pants! I asked if I should put them on and she mark them....not a word. Told me ot pay now, no drama, and pick up in a week! One mark for 6 pant legs done in a flash! I was right to feel a bit uneasy.... On pick up 5 are same except for one....off by a good centimetre... I won't be going back and I miss my old tailor at Village Green!

I went to Martino's Bridal Alterations when I was holding my breath to zip up and stay in my dress-…read moreand she fixed it! There are so many things to think about when you're organizing a wedding and working, and sometimes too much after-dinner cake can add to more stress than de-stressing you! I ended up gaining weight in the areas that should have been perfectly smooth on my frame, and, yes, I needed it altered. I didn't get the right feeling that it could be fixed from some places. It was getting closer and closer to the rehearsal, and I was so close to just wearing a friend of a friend's former dress, until I found out about Martino's. Not only did she take the time to listen to me, she completed the alterations in just four visits. I would recommend them to anyone!

Do NOT waste your time with these clowns. Martinos won't listen to your instructions for making…read morewedding dress alterations, they do what they want and then dismiss you when they can't fix their lousy work. After two and a half months, and NINE appointments, my fiancée has ended up having to pay somebody else to fix the damage Martinos did to her dress (bought from Martinos) - a week and a half before our wedding day!!! It's outrageous these idiots are still in business! When their bad seam work was pointed out to them, their reply was, "Oh, you said you're wearing your hair down, so it'll cover that up." They just rob you of time and money. Save yourself from this nightmare, stay clear of Martinos and tell everyone to do the same.

Not only have i been going to him for ten years now, but the two charming ladies that work along side him make a team like no other... clearly my go to guy so to speak, when i need alterations, and or ideas on how i can improve my attire... off the rack products are just slightly off the mark most of the time. He always sees my vision of comfort and style. His years of experience, combined with his innate ability to see the end result, are on par with a designer way of thinking, which i feel is crucial in order to set yourself apart, as he has done so well for me, and other customers that I've witnessed on my visits.... DO NOT hesitate in doing business with these people, whom i now call friends. So go out there, buy that too big dress, and or long pants....BIO and the lovely experienced ladies will surely impress you, as they have done for me all these years. Need I say more?! Stephane T.

I had to start a dispute, PayPal investigated and got my money back. 2- When I made the payment, their website said it didn't go through but PayPal and my bank confirm the transaction. I didn't receive an email from them and they ignored my messages asking if they received the funds. I'm appalled by their greed and disrespect. I feel I dodged a bullet.

Winter jacket had a broken tab (it's a 2 tab zipper - one tab zips closed the other zips open)…read more Brought it here for an estimate and left it for the lady to check (she said 30min). Showed/told her part of the zipper track is broken but with some effort I could still close the tab. Came back after 20 minutes. The jacket now had one of the tabs completely removed and some of the teeth were missing. She ripped it off and threw it away! The first thing she says? "I cannot fix, it is broken". Really? REALLY?? The best part was she told me it would cost $100 to replace the entire zipper. If she had wanted to break it so she could charge to have it repaired she couldn't have done a better job. Terrible!

Finally, a tailor in West Centertown!…read more Sew Chic opened in late May 2012 and is located in the space previously occupied by Joseph's Tailoring. This place is reasonably priced and FAST. The charge for fixing the hem on my pants was $5. The work was completed same day. The dry cleaning prices are competitive ($2.95 for shirts and $7.95 for pants). They are currently offering a 20 percent discount on dry cleaning orders. The owner said he specializes in leather alterations which is good to know for future reference. Sew Chic, you are a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Same day service..how often do you see that?…read more I went there last Friday for the very 1st time and was Very Happy with the fast service and result! I took my Danier winter jacket to Farhad because I was told from Danier staff to go to him. He fixed right away..took only 2 minutes and only charged $5!! I didn't have enough change with me..he deserved tips for doing it on the spot. I'll definitely go back and finally found the place for alterations/dry cleaning! You're the Best! (^-^)
