EXCELLENT Based on 324 reviews Fiona NuggetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dress was altered perfectly within a week for a great price I’m very happy and if I ever need alterations again I’m definitely coming back! Andrea SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nadia is the best in the business. She altered two wedding dresses for me and on a short timeline. Her work is meticulous and can’t recommend her enough. I will be back for any other alterations I need even after my wedding! Tran PhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very thankful for Nadia’s incredible work in making a not so perfect Oscar De Larenta dress fit me perfectly. It was reworked to look original but to my exact proportions - i was told it could not be done. She not only did it in a short window but she did it perfectly. I will forever trust her only . shelley wood dunnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I purchased a beautiful dress online. It fit me okay, but it didn't feel quite right. I'm so happy I went to see Nadia. She was quickly able to suggest a few minor changes that made all the difference in how the dress looked on me, and how I felt in it. Nadia is professional and friendly. She did excellent work, and had my dress ready when she said it would be. It was easy to make an appointment online. Highly recommend. mar lenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nadia got my dress done in record time after another tailor fell through. She was so warm, honest, and my dress fits like a glove. I would definitely recommend her shop and trust any garment with her! Alicia AmbrusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nadia is amazing!!!! She made off the shoulder sleeves for my wedding dress and she made me a stunning veil! She is so kind and her work is phenomenal! Im so glad that I trusted her with my wedding dress alterations! Cassandra SummitTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing work on my dress and with such a short turnaround! I got my dress custom made to my size but then it came in still needing alterations. Nadia did an amazing job with my not very easy dress, raising the slit, hemming the bottom, adding a bustle, and taking in the sides. My dress was a perfect fit at the fitting just 2.5 weeks before the wedding. Will absolutely recommend her to all my friends getting married or needing alterations! Breanna FaiczakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful experience! Very quick turnaround and super professional. My wedding dress was altered perfectly. 10/10 experience! feven tTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nadia did an excellent job on my wedding dress! I came to her in a rush just over a week ahead of my wedding day and she was able to move my waistline up on my corset/bodice, bring in the waist and add a bustle with such clean artistry! She also fixed my hemline for me as a courtesy. I am so appreciative of all her hard work - come to NLE fashion for your wedding dress. Silvana KrujaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Nadia. She has great tailoring skills and can fix any problems with the dresses, is very punctual and always waits for you with a smile. Her prices are very fair and she does a wonderful job!
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Clothing Alterations & Tailoring
What should I bring to my first alteration appointment?
When coming in for your first appointment, it’s best to bring the garment you want altered along with any accessories or items that will impact the final fit, such as shoes, belts, or specific undergarments. These items help us see how the garment sits when styled as you intend to wear it.
If you have any particular look or fit in mind, feel free to bring reference photos to help us understand your vision. Having these details ready allows us to make precise adjustments and work towards the exact look and feel you want for your garment.
How long does the alteration process usually take?
The time required for alterations varies based on the garment type and season. Bridal gowns often take 3-6 weeks due to the intricate designs, layers, and specialty fabrics involved. Men’s suits usually take around 1-2 weeks, while dresses can range from 1-3 weeks. These timelines give us the necessary time for quality work, especially for high-detail garments that need extra care.
During peak seasons like summer, we experience higher demand, which can extend turnaround times. To ensure your garment is ready on schedule, we recommend scheduling your appointment as early as possible and discussing specific deadlines at your initial consultation so we can plan accordingly.
Do I need to book an appointment for alterations?
Yes, we ask clients to book appointments for all alterations to ensure we provide a dedicated, personalized service for each garment. By scheduling in advance, we can set aside enough time to thoroughly examine your garment, discuss your preferences, and offer the best recommendations for achieving your desired outcome.
Walk-in appointments may not guarantee the same focused attention, as we want to provide every client with a thorough consultation and ensure we understand each detail. Booking ahead helps us create a smooth, efficient experience tailored to your needs, so you leave with the perfect fit.
How many fittings will I need for my alterations?
Generally, most alterations require just one follow-up fitting after the initial adjustments to check the garment’s fit and feel. For complex alterations, like those involving substantial resizing or intricate design details, we may recommend a second or even third fitting to refine the fit further.
Each fitting is an essential part of the process, allowing us to assess the garment’s progress and make any necessary tweaks. This approach ensures we reach the best possible fit, whether the adjustments are straightforward or require multiple rounds of fine-tuning.
What types of garments can you alter?
We handle alterations for both men’s and women’s garments, including bridal gowns, New Year’s Eve, galas, formal and other special events wear, and casual clothing. However, we do not work with leather due to the specialized skills and equipment it requires. Our expertise covers various materials, from delicate silks to structured fabrics, ensuring we can adjust each garment with care and accuracy.
If you’re unsure about a particular item or fabric, we invite you to visit our store for a free consultation. This in-person assessment allows us to evaluate the garment directly and discuss any specific needs or limitations, ensuring we can provide you with the best advice and service for your clothing.
What is your policy if I’m not satisfied with the alterations?
Our top priority is achieving a flawless fit that meets your expectations. If the garment doesn’t meet your vision after the alterations, we will continue to work with you to refine the fit until it’s exactly as you want. We believe in quality craftsmanship and are committed to making adjustments until you’re fully satisfied.
Every alteration is an investment in your comfort and confidence, so we stand by our work and are prepared to make any final refinements necessary. Your satisfaction is key, and our team is dedicated to ensuring every client leaves with a garment they love to wear.
Do you provide remote consultations over video or phone for clients who live far?
Unfortunately, we don’t offer remote consultations over video, phone, or images. The only way to assess alterations properly is through an in-person consultation, where we can examine the garment, fit, and details firsthand. That’s why we provide a free consultation to all our clients, ensuring that every alteration is reviewed thoroughly and accurately.
We know that travelling can be challenging, especially with Toronto’s heavy traffic during peak hours, so you are more than welcome to contact us, and we’ll do everything possible to arrange an appointment time that fits your schedule and, if possible, reduce the need for multiple follow-up visits.
