MAI Sewing

I received a good price for my alterations. The lady paid close attention to detail. The place is a bit crowded and overwhelming but the service is great!

Okay, I have to write a review about Mai’s place because I was looking for a tailor to fix my bridesmaid dress a few months ago and had to go by blind faith because the only other one in IB does not do dresses. I’m not quite sure how to prepare anybody for what they will find when they walk in. Here are a few things you can count on:
1. There is usually always parking, but good luck with the 30-​point turn it will take to get out of the parking lot.
2. There are always 2. not 1 or 3…2 older women in the laundromat area adjacent to Mai’s place doing enormous amounts of laundry and talking quite loudly.
3. Mai is never at the front (you may not even really be sure where the front is), so you have to scream for her.
4. There is such an offensive amount of clothes that it looks like they might be filming a Hoarders episode there.
That being said, Mai will do anything and everything you need. She forgot about my dress (I had to come and remind her, even after I called to remind her like she asked me), but she got it done right away and the price couldn’t be beat. She is super sweet and sassy at the same time. It is comedy and not a place for those that like things to be done when you need them to be done. Let’s just say that Mai has embraced the beach lifestyle and likes to keep things casual! I’m laughing as I’m writing this because I have something there and I’m sure she has forgotten about it. I’ll keep going back though, because she is a great seamstress. She might want to hire an assistant though. Just a thought!
