This is a «pre-getting my clothes» back review. I will update to a 5 once I do. Update: got my clothes back… everything was great! Using a tailor in a train station always worries me, but I think this will go well. After reading a review, I searched for Tasanee in Wynyard… but it’s really more in Hunter Connection, downstairs from Wynyard. I had 2 dresses to be altered, one just getting a zipper replaced, the other taken in. The guy was very helpful and spent more than 10 minutes with me(an eternity in train station alteration world I imagine). He explained to me why the previous zipper wasn’t working(even after a brief defense put on by me that the dress wasn’t in fact too small for me) and what changes he would make to fix it. After trying on the second dress, he showed me a reasonably expensive alteration($ 40) for having to remove the entire seam, but then showed me an alternative that pretty much had the same affect, but half the cost. Still awaiting the results, but so far so good! Stay tuned!

There is a collective mass of tailors and alteration shops in and around Wynyard. I guess they figure that this is the central location for the suits of Sydney. They are likely correct. So of the many, I chose this one in particular for a few reasons. I have walked by it a few times and they are always busy. Crazy busy. When a customer comes up, they are always attentive. And when I see someone leave with their good in hand they look happy. So when I required their services, I travelled over 45min to try them out. Arriving at Thursday lunch time, I needed to get my suit pants mended by Friday. With a wedding to attend on the weekend, it was a bit of a deal breaker. «How about Friday at 5pm» was the counter offer. Looking down at the massive pile of suits this guy had to work through before getting to mine, I did not know how it was going to get done, but what the hell… So I come back at 4:45pm on Friday, and their they are. Pants were mended so well it was ridiculous. He even added a bit of silk on the inside for a bit of comfort. I was totally satisfied and think this store offers brilliant value. When I need something done next time, I will be back.
