Maggie M Tailors

I have been bringing clothes to Maggie for tailoring for over a year now. I look at my clothing not only as an investment but also as a direct reflection of what I present to the world. I’m going to be honest: I have a body which says I have to tailor everything. Sloped shoulder, small waist, and a runners thighs :) Maggie tackles them all. Through taffeta and sequins, pleats, tucks, hems and zippers. I trust her with it all and recommend her to all. (As an aside: she was able to turn a gown around for me in one day and most recently, called me on a Sunday –the shop is typically closed– to say she would meet me at the shop to try on a jumpsuit I needed for that Wednesday). She goes above and beyond to provide great reliable service and well, my closet would not be the same without her. Five hearts and five stars to Maggie.

Oooooh NOT GOOD ! I have been taking my alterations here for about three years — MAGGIE is about the ONLY one who is nice. I shudder when I see the two other women who work for her there. They are just plain RUDE. I took in two pair of jeans for hemming — per usual. I came home and tried them on BIG MISTAKE… they were WAY too LONG ! Try completed alterations on BEFORE you leave this place ! They were way too long to even wear. So I too them back for a re-​do. The one IGNORANT worker says «no problem» gives me a receipt with NO CHARGE written on it so I go to pick them up — keep in mind I’ve ALREADY PAID THEM for both pairs previously. The IGNORANT HAG at the cash register goes it 18 dollars ! I said «I ALREADY PAID FOR THIS !» Well she looks around and said «ALL I can do is take six dollars off» WHILE having a firm grip on the jeans (I guess I am not the first angry customer obviously!) I paid the 12 dollars and said «You will NOT see me here again ! You do poor work AND rip people OFF !» I thought the guy next to me was going to run out of the place ! Its obvious ENGLISH is not their first language and they screw people left and right for the almighty dollar DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING HERE !!!

I came in for one very simple alteration and had to go back 3 times to get it right. The owner, Maggie, was very busy each time I came in and never took the proper time to deal with me. There was always two or three people waiting at the entrance while I was standing there being measured — everyone listening in and watching — no privacy at all. She speaks very fast and with a strong accent so you can’t communicate easily with her which is frustrating. Plus she was trying to come up with all sorts of reasons why she wasn’t able to do a proper job — I got the wrong size suit, my shirt sleeves weren’t long enough etc etc. I felt she was quite impatient and disrespectful. This tailor was recommended to me by a person who works at the menswear department at the Bay but this lady admitted to me that she had never actually met Maggie — who knows what the connection is between the two of them. It was so disappointing and frustrating dealing with this company.

I have taken several items here for alterations… hemming mostly. No issues. Not sure why there are negative reviews, other than a crazy person taking a dress for fitting 7 months before wearing it. The service is always friendly, no matter who it is. Quality work, they have a very reasonable turn around time… no complaints here. And I’m a complainer!

I don’t know what some of these peoples problems are with this place (other than veiled racism) but taking a wedding dress in to be fitted 7 months out is idiotic, regardless of how secure you are in your sizing.
Anyway, I’ve never had a problem here whatsoever. They aren’t all warm and fuzzy, but I’m paying for competence, not smiles, and competent they assuredly are. They got out decade old blood stains out of a ball hockey jersey and have an average turnaround of 2 – 3 days, even during the holidays and wedding season.
I can’t recommend them enough. When we move, we will most certainly still be taking our clothes in here for dry cleaning and alterations.

Good quality and quick service. They did a same day tailoring without charging extra which was nice, $ 9 hemming for a pair of dress pants.

I hate having to get clothing hemmed, stitched or cleaned — I do everything in my power to avoid it until the very last moment possible. But when I can’t procrastinate any longer, I head out to see Maggie. What a great little business! I’m very grateful to have found someone to do the things I can’t stand doing, with a smile on her face. I’ve always been more than satisfied with everything I’ve had done at Maggie M’s and it’s always been done quickly. Being the procrastinator that I am, I dropped something off to be altered on a Friday morning (something that I was planning on taking with me to Las Vegas that night), went to work for the day, picked it up on my way home from work, and headed off to see the bright lights. I’ve had some not so pleasant experiences with other tailors, but I trust Maggie and her staff with everything. It also helps that every single woman working there is so cute that I could pinch their cheeks — but that might cross a couple lines so I think I’ll stick to alterations.
