A&B Tailor Shop

The absolute BEST tailors in Victoria! I came to them 24 hours at the last minute before a big event needing a dress altered as a previous tailor I had taken it to had done a horrible job. They fixed it for me within 24 hours, did an amazing job and made the dress look exactly how I wanted it to look. Amazing work & customer service, thank you again A&B!

I can’t recommend A & B Tailor shop enough! At the start of the year I found out my partner’s father was very ill and we decided to get married quickly so he could be there. I didn’t have enough time to order a regular wedding dress nor did I see anything that really suited me. I called A & B and they were able to rush me the dress of my dreams. Then covid hit and put a hitch in our plans and I lost a considerable amount of weight and we had to start from scratch and A & B were so helpful with everything. They told me exactly what I needed to bring them in terms of fabric, lining, and zippers and made the dress based on a quick drawing I did. They bent over backwards to make sure my dress way ready on time even though I hadn’t given them much time. I can’t get over the level of quality of my dress too. They are probably the most skilled tailors I’ve worked with. I can’t wait to come back and have them make more clothing for me and alter things I already have.

I had a simple patch job done on my jacket that had a small hole in it. I contacted multiple tailors requesting an alteration service but unfortunately I was denied the service. The material was tricky to work with but it's so well done you can't imagine that it was altered. Jason immediately agreed and made an appointment. He is extremely respectful, polite and professional. Amazing tailoring, highly recommended!

a proper seamstress in Victoria. always eager to help, not easily discouraged and fine quality work. my favorite in town

I've been coming to this place since i don't know for how many years and they have always done a great job on my garments no matter what the issue has been, from a torn faux leather jacket to putting a new zipper on my cheap little purse to sewing the holes in my favourite wool gloves and to hemming endless pants for my five feet frame as well taking in boxy looking tunics. It seems alterations are never ending if you are very petite like me and so I for one, am very grateful for this incredibly talented, as well as friendly and efficient team of tailors.

Had a suit tailored here. It took a day longer than expected, which wasn't a big deal. The pants turned out great but the jacket looks worse now. They caused the shoulders to bunch up creating an asymmetrical ridged look. It would have been better had they not touched the shoulders at all. However, their slimming of the jacket's waist turned out fine. All in all, the price and time spent did not match the quality.

I had a bridesmaids dress altered here (hemmed, and sides taken-in under the arms). I got a call the day of pick up asking that I come later than planned, and when I did pick it up, it was sitting crumpled on a shelf, which resulted in wrinkles. Initially the hem looked good, but when I took the wrinkles out, the dress was still too long. I also discovered that in removing the marks that they had made for the hem, they had left the dress discoloured in places. The only thing reasonably priced and well done was the work on the sides of the dress (well stitched and even on both sides). I have had alterations done on other dresses elsewhere and this has been my least satisfactory experience both quality and cost wise, (my graduation dress was far less simple due to many layers and materials, and the hem on it was the same cost).

I needed my pants waist increased after gaining some quarantine weight and several other tailors told me it was impossible but A&B tailor shop made it happen, quickly and for a good price. She is also very sweet and did an amazing job. Would definitely recommend!

Extremely impressed with their customer service. Delivery was beyond expectations as we had an urgent need of alterations and the work was exceptionally well done. Will come back many times for sure!

I have had pants hemmed; coat sleeves shortened, skirt waists expanded, etc. The master tailor takes time measuring and adjusting to ensure the alteration is just right. I was pretty impressed with the quality of the work and the service. Their attention to details to me is worth mentioning. It looks great and fits me really perfect now. I will definitely be returning to them for any work that needs to be altered in future.
