Reviews of Dow's Lake Tailoring (Tailor)

Michael Noynay

Very good experience from here. She did a great job with the 4 pants I gave her. One was regular jeans, another was selvedge denim, and 2 dress pants - which all came out great. She was very nice and it finished in a timely matter. I would definitely visit again.

Trevor Wilkins

Great service. Very helpful & professional. Tremendous quality tailoring at a premium price

Chris Sorokan

My girlfriend got her bridesmaids dress tailored here. The price was reasonable and the service was impeccable! Even when the clasp on the dress broke a few days after picking it up, she brought it back here and the repair was made on the spot and at no extra cost!

She's very good in what she does!

Gina Lawless

Vivian is absolutely amazing! She did the alterations for my wedding dress and it fit like a glove by the time she was done:) Thank you!

Emily K

Amazing job!

Chris Rockwell

This will sound obnoxious but I love that she has a great eye for fashion. I noticed her check out what I had on, what I dropped off, and made a point of using my name. I liked that.

Robin Wakelin

Loved this place. Sad to leave Ottawa having found them. They did a great job taking out shoulder pads from my blazer as well as taking it in at the waist to make it a lot more flattering on me

Connor Byway

Great and friendly service, inexpensive too!

Manon Blouin

Tailor is friendly, talented and prices are reasonable.

Lucien Trottier

So much cheaper for dry cleaning than nearby alternatives (by half) and excellent service. Highly recommended

Local Guide

Go here for dry cleaning only. DO NOT DROP OFF CLOTHES FOR HEMMING OR ALTERATION. Turnaround for a pair of hemmed pants was over a week, and then it was late by two additional days. No reason or apology given. The price for pant hemming was also too high. $20+ to hem the bottoms. Full transparency.

I have patroned Dowes Lake Tailoring multiple times from alterations on a high end trench to tailoring a pair of Japanese selvedge denim. Every time I've gone they have surpassed my needs and gave excellent customer service. My favourite tailor in town!

Ian Johns

I had a great experience here. I will be back.

Ria De Gorter

Have come back often in the past couple of years to get various items of clothing tailored. Always done right and owner is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Sara Rose

Vivian is absolutely amazing, she altered my prom dress and has also worked on clothing for my mom. She always does an amazing job and is the friendliest in town, I definitely recommend Dows Lake Tailoring.

Janelle

Love this place. Definitely will come back!!!

Thierry L'Écuyer

Excellent service and quality work. I switched jobs and was looking for a new tailor, since then, I've brought in many shirts for alterations and the result is always excellent. Vivian takes the time to determine the best options and has done amazing even with the more challenging jobs.

Usman Ijaz

I've brought in several pants and even shirts and t-shirts to be hemmed, always get great friendly service and quick turn around. Last time my pants were ready within 2-3 days.

Talented, helpful and pleasant owner. My favorite tailor in Ottawa-Gatineau.

J. Lawrence Shupka

Great tailors with decent prices.

Joyce Chamas

Vivian is a great seamstress! I love that she accommodates my last minute requests when she can. She's an expert. I've taken many dresses to her that require intricate work and she does a terrific job every time. Thanks for being so awesome Vivian!

Suzanne Karam

Good service

Justin Whitaker

The owner is kind, thoughtful and ready to accommodate last minute requests of customers (even if they feel bad for being so last minute!). Dry cleaning and custom suit / shirt design are also offered. All at reasonable prices. Highly recommemd!

Hugh Mosher

Excellent work with a quick turnaround.

Octobre Lindsay

Repaired the zipper on my sweater. Never had tailoring done so i cant say much about the price but she was lovely, my order was ready on time, no complications, and a perfect zipper fix! Would def go back.

Robert Nadeau

I can't say enough about Vivienne and Dow's Lake Tailoring. I lost over 20 lb of weight, and shrunk my midsection from 38 in to 34 in. Needless to say, I had a wardrobe of suits, trousers and shirts that needed to be altered. Dow's Lake Tailoring did a top shelf job with all of my adjustments, at a very fair cost. Highly recommended.

Simon Anderson

I brought in a sweater which had a number of holes and it was repaired as good as new! Other tailors said they wouldn't even work on it, but dows lake tailoring did a fantastic job at a great price. The service is also very friendly! Highly recommend coming here.

Bean Ottawa

They tell you it will be ready in a week then when you pick it up, it's not ready and they didn't bother to call!!! Pant hem and tuck costs over $45!. Won't go back.

Celina Legault

I love this place I have had a few dresses done and my prom dress back in the day. They do great work and always have my items ready in time.

Julia Vodyanyuk

Drove by one day because I live in the area and decided to pop in to get a zipper fixed and taper a pair of skinny jeans - Vivian helped me and was very sweet. The repair took about 5 days (I wasn't in a huge rush) but when I got the jeans back they looked like new and had never been touched. I'll definitely be coming back with more items in the future. The prices, service and quality are fantastic :)

I brought a dress here to get altered at the end of February and it was ready within a week. The woman in the shop was very nice and did a great job on the dress. I also found it to be affordable.
