Reviews of Express Alterations Ltd (Tailor)

T Dawson

This is an absolutely fabulous place. They were able to assist me with a dress emergency and they did an excellent job. I dropped the dress off explained what I needed, and picked it up later in the afternoon just before closing. I’m so pleased and impressed with the entire experience. I definitely recommend this alteration service the seamstress is fabulous! Very reasonably priced and they know what they are doing.

Stephanie Porter

Such kind and professional service. I took silk pants to be hemmed and they did a perfect job. Thank you!

Carl Kwan

Had my favourite suit jacket's sleeve repaired and wanted to wait a couple months before writing a review. The sleeve was coming apart along the edge of the body. Obviously, since I gave 5 stars, I'm really happy. I had taken my suit to my local cleaner who sent it out for repair. They only did a superficial sewing job that never held. I was confident Maryam knew what to do because she immediately said that the sleeve needs to be taken apart from the inside of the jacket. The sleeve is good as new and my suit is still my favourite. Great job, fast service and super-friendly. Highly recommended.

Maryam has altered and tailored multiple items for me - from simple pant hemming to altering dresses and skirts and narrowing pant legs. Her expert work is thorough, timely and she is also creative when the task requires it. I cannot recommend her enough.

Quick and efficient - and did a food job too.

Karen Joseph

Express Alterations came highly recommended by one of my favourite clothing stores. Maryam was friendly, professional and highly responsive. I arrived late in the day during the holidays intending to drop off my item and pick up at a later date. After reviewing our calendars and determining the next time I could come was after my event, she offered to complete the alteration immediately. The material was unusual and the hem complicated but she did a fantastic job. Looks just like the original and fits great!! I highly recommend Maryam for all your alteration needs.

Maryam fixed some pants for me, taking in the waist, changing the waist to add a functional drawstring and patching some holes. Everything is perfect and I am very happy with her work. I will definitely return next time I need some alterations done! Thank you Maryam.

Maryam did such a great job and very reasonable. I had a tricky dress with chiffon that needed to be hemmed and taken in at the top back zipper. I will definitely use her for any alterations in the future.

Maryam was a pleasure to deal with. I came in with several pieces to be altered and she was able to help with repairs, button replacement and even completely transforming a jumpsuit into a pair of trousers. Wow! I couldn’t be happier with the results and the turn around time to complete everything. Thank you, and will definitely be back!

We had such a great customer experience at Express Alterations recently. They met our business needs while our company rebranded over 70 garments and finished our order faster than scheduled and under budget. Maryam’s kindness, attention to detail and timeliness is bar none, she genuinely cares about each and every customer and her community and makes sure that you leave satisfied. Highly Recommended!

Excellent service.

Maryam altered my wedding dress and it was absolutely perfect. Since then she’s done several dresses for me and replaced a double-sided zipper on a reversible down jacket. All of her work is impeccable. She’s also very pleasant, professional, and communicative. She is really excellent.

Erica Krutzen

I have been a customer of Maryam's (Express Alterations) for many years and am so grateful and lucky to have found Maryam. She is not only an expert at alterations and dressmaking but she is a lovely person who works hard at making her customers happy. Maryam always does the job perfectly. I appreciate and vlaue her work and have recommended her to many people who are also happy customers. Thanks Maryam.

Elle Ma

Would not recommend! Took a pair of brand new lululemons with a slight tear to this shop. Was told it would cost $10, was charged $21. The stitch work was horrendous. Maryam told me the work would look better in the dark and blamed me when I wasn't pleased with the sewing quality. Posted an honest review and then received multiple messages from the owner pressuring me in hopes of having the review removed. Literally had to block their number. Too much drama! Will let the photo speak for itself. Go somewhere else!

M

The owner is the absolute sweetest!! I needed a dress hemmed in a rush for a birthday dinner and when I dropped it off she was able to do it within two hours. Best service and very enjoyable interaction :) made me feel very good for supporting a small business. Will definitely return with any alterations I ever need!

Sara Hart

Took an old Duvet that was ripped at a seam. All other places said to just replace it. Myriam not only fixed it, she fixed a bunch of smaller holes for half the price of others. She is Awesome!

Anita Dennis

Maryam is lovely to deal with, high quality of work, and well priced to boot. She has helped me out on so many occasions. Will come again for sure.

Maureen S.

This is a wonderful business to have so close to my home. From the very first time we met Maryam, we loved her as she is a lovely lady, gracious, patient and takes time with her customers. Maryam's lovely personality is second to her expertise as a alterationist and seamstress. Her attention to detail is amazing. I hope we never lose her in this business.. We are lucky to have found you.. Thank you, Maryam for all you do.

I highly recommend Express Alterations for all mending/sewing purposes. I am so impressed with her work; she worked on my bridesmaid dress 8 years ago and I took a pair of jeans into her last week.

Maryam completed two custom pieces for me and did a wonderful job. Very happy with the finished product. She went above and beyond by staying late to complete everything so we would have them in time.
