Master Tailors

Not good. I called to ask if I could get a rush on a hemming and when I returned the next day later than the time I had said I would, they hadn’t been done. The lady was kind enough to do it then and there but the hemming came out on the night I wore it. Embarrassing =S

My absolute favourite place to get clothing tailored.
I’ve never been let down with the quality of work done by Lieu Doan! She’s so pleasant to be around and makes her customers feel comfortable. 5 stars for this lovely lady and her great work!

I brought 2 ill fitting suits to Lieu and she did miracles to make them fit. She turned something the was baggy and sloppy into sleek and tailored, as they were not ready at the time she quickly finished them up the very same day. I will keep bring my business wear to her to keep me looking great. I will be back.

An actual master tailor with a cute personal shop in a convenient location at a great price. I’m an actor and I have trouble buying clothes that fit off the rack, but it’s no worries as I take them to Lieu and she does an amazing job. Honestly, this woman truly is a «master tailor»! She can make anything you buy look ace as well as tailoring a slick suit. I had a few shirts made by her and they are the business.

They were very friendly when I went in and asked to get my shirt fixed. I told them on Friday that I was working until 6pm so I would come back the next day Saturday. I told them that I really need the shirt back as soon as possible and it was the smallest of fixes. They told me that was okay and they were open Saturdays from 1pm-​5pm. I went around 3pm and nobody was there. No notice was put up to show the reason for absence either. Called multiple times and left multiple voicemails and no answer. Yet to get a call back.
Definitely would not go back and recommend to others not to go here.

Unreliable service. Do not use. I needed a zip replaced in a dress that I was taking overseas. I told the shop tailor I was flying overseas and they told me I could pick the dress up on the afternoon I was flying out. When I went to collect the dress at 3.30pm, the shop was already closed, despite telling me they would be open until 6pm and as advertised on their website. After about 20 minutes of me waiting, the owner finally picked up her cell and said the tailor «must have gone home». Long story short, I was told the tailor himself was going to Vietnam and that’s why he had closed the shop early. I did not receive any phone call to say they were closing the shop early or to come pick up my dress!!! The owner did tell the tailor to come back to the store — 40 minutes later of waiting around I was handed my dress by the tailor and he demanded payment. When I refused to pay the $ 25 fee due to the inconvenience they had put me through, the tailor was rude. On top, my dress was completely crushed and bundled up in a bag. Will never use this service again.

They get my vote for sure.

From Crazy Stupid Love:
Cal Weaver: I think I’m set for jeans.
Jacob Palmer: No, you’re not set for jeans, Cal.
[referring to the jeans he’s wearing]
Cal Weaver: These are fine.
Jacob Palmer: You have a mom butt. Is that what you want?
Cal Weaver: Why don’t we just go to The Gap? You know what? They have a s…
[Cal looks up to see Jacob’s left the shop]
Cal Weaver: Okay.
[Cal runs after Jacob]
Cal Weaver: What are you doing?
[Jacob takes hold of Cal’s face]
Jacob Palmer: Cal, you’re better than The Gap. You’re better than The Gap. Say it?
Cal Weaver: I’m better than The Gap.
[Jacob slaps Cal in the face]
Jacob Palmer: Come on.
Cal Weaver: God! Stop slapping me. Really.

Jeans, yes jeans. My fave Friday wear. Dark wash slim jeans with a fitted blazer, waistcoat and all the trimmings.
Lately, I noticed that my jeans weren’t fitting as well around my a$$ and waist — a bit of a bubble butt in terms of fabric. So, I get them altered at the waist and upper butt. Yeah, I got jeans altered and taken in, not hemmed.
The result was quite good., in fact, I’d say excellent. No more saggy a$$ butt for me.
$ 20-​$ 25 tax in.
They take credit card too.

Over a week late. Unprofessional, unfriendly.
I’ve gone here three times, and every time I have been disappointed by the service. This last time, I came a week after she said she would be done, and she still wasn’t complete. She told me she would have it done in 15 minutes (she started the moment I buzzed). I came back in 25 minutes, and she made me wait another 10 minutes. She used the wrong coloured fabric to patch up my jeans, and said «well, nobody is going to notice.» She didn’t trim the patch, so the fabric was hanging off in a way that would scratch my leg. She didn’t patch up the whole area. Her buzzer doesn’t work on the weekends, and her credit machine is finicky. Worst of all, when I politely asked her to patch the whole area and I questioned why she used a different colour, her and her husband were rude and cold to me. I’m not going back, and I would not recommend that you go.

Came to this shop straight off a plane for a close friend’s wedding. Had an ill-​fitting dress that had been poorly tailored already and was in rough shape. Was a little stressed given the wedding was the following day and I had limited time and hadn’t been to this tailor before. They were willing to work on the dress and have ready for the next day. When I picked up the dress only 3 short hours before the wedding I was nervous, but upon trying on, I was thrilled. They transformed my dress and did exactly what I wanted and also, what was needed. Very intuitive and a great eye for fit. Saved my dress, saved the day, saved my sanity, thank you thank you thank you! Will be forever grateful I was able to wear a beautiful dress to a very special wedding. 1 day turnaround, excellent result, and ¹⁄₃ of the cost of my original tailor. Wow. You guys are the best. Lost 1 star for being a little hard to find and the front door and elevator not operating on Saturday, still, I’m very happy and would recommend.

Lieu Doan at Master Tailors is my lifesaver. She came highly recommended (from Dan J), and after using her services, I have never gone to another tailor since.
I am petite (though not as petite as Lieu!), so I have gotten tons of pants hemmed, dresses shortened, shirts taken in, and even a pretty accurate Uhura (Star Trek) costume for Hallowe’en made, all from a crude drawing, no less! I trust her with my silk Betsey Johnson dresses, and coats from Aritzia & Holt Renfrew, so believe me, she will take care of your clothes!
Her little shop is on the 6^th floor, and what’s always a treat is the ride in the building’s vintage mirrored elevator. So lovely! Once inside, there’s a waiting area with a couch, a small changing corner, and in the back, her sewing machines and tables. She also sells her own handmade dresses and suits, which hang on the walls in the front.
Lieu is always busy, but she’s always friendly, eager to chat, and I’ve seen her stay late at work many times. You can see she works very hard, and the quality of work she does is impressive. I am a pretty bad planner & often seem to bring her last minute clothes to alter for me, but she gets ‘em done if I really need, and I am forever grateful. FOREVER grateful, Lieu!
