I brought in my otherwise very well made Mark's winter parka (for our frigid winters) that had a…read morevery annoying double zipper that I had such difficulties with and it was very much stuck in place. The tailor saw right away what was wrong with the zipper and had a plan in place how to fix the problem. He indicated that the zipper needed to be stronger, wider and of a better quality. He suggested having a much better single zipper and for the zipper to not extend to the bottom of the parka. I readily agreed with him that this would be a perfect plan. Fabric would be put in place at the bottom. It also already had snaps. I brought it in on Tuesday and it was ready on Friday. I was ever so very happy with my parka and truly wonderful new zipper (YKK - great quality)!!! It works perfectly now and I have no difficulties with it! I have in the past brought items into the shop and have always been totally satisified with the service and reasonable costs!!! Do bring your tailoring needs here and of course drycleaning!

I had dropped off a pair of basic Zara sweat pants to get hemmed (nothing fancy) just a straight hemm. Was a bit irritated that they wanted $25 for that, when I said that's a lot he knocked $5 off. Sorry but that's really pricey for most places that charge $8-$12 for a basic hem for sweat pants!! They told me I could pick them up in a week so really defeated coming here since I needed them ASAP. It's unfortunate because it's a decent space they have.

I was very satisfied with the service and always said I wanted my pants to be touching the floor without shoes on....every time! I don't know her name but i went in enough that she recognized me. I had taken in a pair of black linen pants and went through the whole scenario of trying them on, have them touch the floor without shoes and then I just picked them up a few days later. I didn't try them on right away because I've never had a problem. I took them with me on a trip a couple of weeks later. When I put them on, they were a solid inch and a half too short. I can't wear them. I took them back in to see if maybe she could let the hem down but it didn't look like enough fabric was left. She said 3/4 of an inch was all she could do But I would have to pay, Again!! I got pressed about having a receipt. I had taken another pair of pants with me that day that needed to be hemmed. I thought maybe she would even offer to do those for free for compensation, but the only solution was for me to pay for her to fix what she did wrong in the first place. Needless to say, I didn't leave my other pair of pants and found a new Tailor.

She was very friendly and is obviously a hard worker! This place is a "hole in the wall" but sometimes those are the best spots! It's a small establishment but I didn't have too much trouble finding it. Just go in the main building turn right and down the hall. When I picked up and dropped off my dress it was bustling with customers picking up and dropping off orders. I felt like she did a great job on my dress for a reasonable price and I will definitely be back for other items that I might need adjusted! She called me as soon as my dress was ready and the price wasn't much more than what she quoted me prior to the alterations. I'll definitely be recommending this place to other people.

Judy tells you the cost of each repair up front, which I appreciate...it sucks being surprised when picking up your clothes, and it costs more than you originally expected. I usually give her one week to complete my "order", and the quality and price are worth the wait. I also appreciate the convenience of private parking near 99 street, behind the house.

I brought them my strapless wedding dress to hem, add a bustle and sleeves. They blamed me…read morerepeatedly for wanting sleeves and came up with the ugliest design for these t-shirt sleeves for a wedding dress. The bustle looked really odd and ugly. I finally paid and took it to Mariellen of Alstair's design in St. Albert. Mariellen was very helpful and able to make the bustle look beautiful and put on new sleeves. she was stunned that I paid for the work that was done. Capital Tailors did what was asked. Their shop was 27 degrees and I was dripping sweat in the dress. At points I just wanted to cry. They also had one visit where they told me not to gain any more weight. It was a very difficult experience because I didn't even want to put on my dress anymore. it was very well priced for a poor job.

A note: if you habitually put your clothes in the dryer, you'll want to put your items to be tailored through a wash and dry cycle before you drop them off. They have signs all over their shop to this effect, but I wasn't aware of it beforehand. I was exempted after I promised that I never put anything but towels and sheets in the dryer, but you may not be so lucky :). Update: they're perfect!
