Metropolis Alterations

I came here to have my suit altered. I had the waist taken in, sleeves thinned and shortened, and had working buttons (surgeon’s cuffs) added. That’s quite a lot of work and chain alteration shops won’t touch it. The end result came out great and exactly how I wanted. I was so happy, I gave them another suit and a bunch of shirts.
Overall, the price for the suit alteration came to just over $ 100 (without taxes), which is very reasonable. I’m comparing to Oakridge Tailors, who does similar work for similar cost. The timeframe was also about the same, 1 week.
This is a good place to take your alterations if going all the way to Oakridge Mall isn’t that convenient (like for me).

Wow, I can’t believe this place is still in business. I have no idea how they managed to get any decent reviews, the owners and operators of this place are crooks. I went in with my bridesmaids to get their infinity dresses hemmed, and I know that these are relatively simple materials to work with. I was charged $ 45 dollars EACH to hem them. It is also pertinent to point out, that the owner led me and four other people to believe that it was going to be stitched at the bottom and guess what, all they did was cut the fabric — no stitches in sight. I paid $ 200 to have someone cut 4 pieces of fabric. You have GOT to be kidding me.
If you’re considering this place for any alterations — ESPECIALLY wedding alterations, I would stay far, FAR away. This place has no qualms gauging you. Brides, you really don’t need the stress this place will inevitably give you — from one bride to another, trust me on this.
People who are giving this place good reviews must be fake or have no idea what they are paying for. You can get better service and product results from other places. I would suspect that this place has since changed management from the previous reviews because it boggles the mind how or why anyone would be willing to pay those prices.

Great service and so so fast! I brought in my bridesmaid dress for an alteration and within 5 minutes I had it pinned and paid for (only 28 bucks!!!). Picked it up a few days later and fit perfectly. I recommend this place for anyone in need of a alteration or quick fix.

This is where I go to get everything altered. Pants, suits, winter jacket. They have never batted an eye at requests for specific changes and everything is so skillfully done that everybody will think how lucky you were to find such great fitting clothes.

I wish I could give ZERO stars to this place!
When I walk into an alterations place, I expect them to be able to measure me correctly. BOY, WAS I WRONG. I stumbled into this alterations place in December because I needed to be fit for my wedding dress. My bridal shop is in the states and I was unable to go in to get fit with them. The woman seemed bothered by my request but agreed to do it anyway. Since I was not buying anything or getting service from her, I understood the frustration. She then fit my bust, waist and hips. Simple measurement, right?
I passed those measurements onto my bridal shop. Well, today I went in to try on my dress for the very first time. MY DRESS IS 3 SIZES TOO BIG. «How is the possible?» was my first question to the bridal shop. She pulls up my sizes, and then remeasures me. My measurements were completely different.
I will say I have not lost weight, changed sizes or anything. THIS PLACE CANNOT MEASURE CORRECTLY.
I am so incredibly disappointed in their service. Not only was she bothered by a simple request but she has now cost me time and money because she can’t do her basic job. PLEASE DO NOT EVER GO HERE.

I got a coat fixed here for $ 12. That is a reasonable price, considering that they are located in Metrotown.
It was completed on time and the handiwork is good

$ 33.00 for 6 suspender buttons sewn on and one pair pants hemed. This place is overcharging big time!

It’s a sigh of relief bringing my stuff here for helming and alterations.
There is personal attention to the work they do, it’s like your mom or aunt is helping you out. Great friendly service and their estimates on when things will be done are always on time.
They have fixed things for me that others have screwed up *cough* Two Sisters *cough*
I’ve been coming here for over 10 years, I regret not Unilocaling sooner.

Great prices, great customer service, ad a great location.
Bought a suit that required some alterations done for a better fit. Found Metropolis Alterations on Unilocal.A convenient location with ample parking. The courteous staff altered my suit perfectly to my requests. The turn around time time was fast (less than a day).
I will definitely return with alterations.

Why are these guys so great?
1. fantastic location — in the Metrotown mall
2. same day service if you go before 1pm approx
3. reasonable prices — $ 8 – 12 /​pants hemming
4. dry cleaning option if your heart desires
5. changing rooms with big mirrors in the main entrance area
I’ve used them a few times already, and am thrilled with their work.
