| - I went to Universal Tailoring as I had to get a pair of jeans hemmed. Usually I would hem my own, however these were designer jeans, and without trying to sound like a total snob, I really want to have these pants hemmed properly so that they fit well.
Just across the way from Hawkwood Palace, Universal Tailoring is fairly small in size, but its quaint quarters are extremely homely and comfy. Having been established here for a number of years, Universal has collected many faithful customers. The services they offer range from hemming to alternating for just about any piece of clothing. Priced quite reasonably in comparison to other businesses, its understandable why people keep returning here. I do give forewarning though that they prices may be inclined to change if it requires specialty stitching due to the nature or colour of the clothing.
Upon walking in, I was warmly greeted by an associate who gestured me to a change room to get changed into my jeans. From the time I got changed, to the pants being measured and pinned, to when I got back to the front counter, took only about 5 minutes. From there I was promised I would have my jeans back within a week.
True to her word, I did have my pants back as promised, where she did a very clean and thorough job. The cost altogether was $12.00 (does not include GST), which is quite reasonably priced as other tailors and alteration places around the city have been known to charge more per pant leg.
All in all, I am very happy with my first-time experience and will definitely return here should I ever need anymore of my pants hemmed.
