Ellerslie Tailors & Alterations

I’ve come here in the past for minor alterations (hemming, zippers replaced etc) and always been happy with their work. So when I was getting quotes from a wedding shop/​tailor of $ 350+ to get my wedding dress altered I decided to try out Ellerslie Tailors.
I bought my dress off the rack «as is» so there was a bit of extra work to be done. From the beginning and throughout the process she communicated what work needed to be done and gave me a breakdown of prices which was ½−1/3 cheaper then the other place (i.e $ 60 to hem 4 layers versus $ 150 at the other shop).
The alterations happened in two parts. The first was to alter the top half (remove zipper and replace with corset back along with taking in the sides) and then the 2^nd appointment was to hem the bottom and to add gems on the dress that had fallen off. All this happened within 2.5 weeks.
In the end she did an amazing job and I’m so happy with the work she did and the money I saved. All that work costed less then $ 200 where I would have definitely paid double at the other place I went to. I would recommend any bride to consider coming here to get their dresses altered.

She altered two hats in a bit under a week. Did a spot on perfect job. Would recommend and use again. Reasonable price. You pay up front because too many people leaving items (which seems odd) but makes complete sense.

Excellent tailors, very reasonable prices and quick service. I take all my alterations here and they have always been great.

I had a very last minute alteration needed to be completed for a bridesmaids dress. My dress hem was completed within 24 hours with great customer service and for a very affordable price. She was exceptionally accommodating and only charged $ 25 for my last minute needs.

Extremely skeptical of trying them again. I took a pair of distressed jeans for a small repair last winter. The seamstress completely destroyed the jeans. She patched every spot that was distressed after explicit directions to only fix one spot. For this type of application NEVER agains. On top of the 400 $ jeans she ruined she also charged me 20 $ to wreck them.
I think beyond the adjustment of length in pants I’ll pass.

This is my local tailor and I appreciate the reasonable prices, great service, fairly quick turn-​around and late hours (Open until 7:00). Lynn speaks English as a second language, but has been sewing since she was in High School (over thirty years ago) — and she does a fantastic job! On more than one occasion, she’s recommended a better way to «fix» my odd fitting clothes, and I’ve grown to fully trust her opinion. Lynn has also helped out in a pinch — when buttons fell off my husband’s wool coat in the middle of winter, she sewed them back on while I waited. Every pair of pants comes home fitting perfectly and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
