| - Let me start off by saying that the alterations weren't horrible, but then again, they weren't great.
I stopped into May's with about 5 button up shirts and a pair of jeans. I tried on the jeans she measured me, we agreed on a length and then I moved onto trying on the shirts. The first shirt I needed the to be taken in as it was too baggy/ballooning. She told me she was going to add darts instead of taking it in on the sides. She suggested that because it would 'look better and is cheaper than taking it on the sides'.
Next shirt was too long and I needed it to be shortened. She asks me how short, and I said hmm I'm not exactly sure, but I brought a sample shirt that has a good length. She kinda snaps at me and tells me "No, it's too late to show a sample, you should have told me that from the beginning, I'm too busy for that". Honestly, at that moment I should have gotten my things together and said I don't want to give you my business. Unfortunately I just kind of froze and said ok and let her pin it shorter. I didn't really feel like dealing with her anymore so I didn't bother bring out the other 3 shirts I brought me to be altered. I paid for the alterations and was given a 1 week turn around time.
The jeans came out great, but the 2 shirts.....not so much. I know understand why she suggested darts rather than taking it in from the sides. She made 2 pinches of fabric in the back of the shirt and sewed on the inside so there is the excess fabric on the inside of the shirt.
The shirt that was to be shortened ended up being too short. I suppose that is somewhat my fault since I should have insisted that she let me try on the other shirt. My other complaint about that shirt is that there is a button 3 cm away from the bottom of the shirt which looks pretty awkward. I have had clothes altered at other places that have gone to great lengths to make the clothes look normal after the alteration. I would not come back here for any other services.
I guess you could say that if you are wanting a basic job done with a quick turn around time, use May's Alteration. If you have more intricate alterations to be done, I'd be weary of using her since it seems its about a quick turn around time and not that much about quality of tailoring.
On the plus side, the alterations are somewhat cheap, the place is clean, and they have a pretty quick turn around.
