I was initially happy to find a tailor in our local area. It seemed like a trustworthy and professional place and the reviews were promising. Unfortunately, I have not had a positive experience at all. I asked them to re-hem a skirt I hold dear and was promised by a friendly man in the shop that all would be fine. The result is shocking: the new hem is messy (especially on the inside but it is also visible outside), and - much more troubling - it is clear from the location of the original hem holes and the new untidy hem that some material was cut away and they tried to make everything look even. I know a fair bit about tailoring; cutting material away was not necessary. If the tailor felt it was, they ought to have checked with me, by phone if necesssary. This may seem trivial with many pieces of clothing, but with the particular fabric in question it actually changed how the skirt falls, and not in a good way. I don't know what happened, maybe someone had a bad day. Unfortunately the result for me is a partly ruined favorite skirt. read more
