Janice’s Custom Tailoring

Janice is awesome! I’ve been going to her for anything from major alterations to hemming for a few years now. Her service is great, and very timely; her prices are fair. She does high quality work and I have never had any issues. She is very knowledgeable and helpful, and cares about your clothing. I’ve also recommended her to many friends and they have all been quite pleased with her work. She just opened a second location on Tower Road, across the street from Point Pleasant Park. I believe this location is open later throughout the week, but if you need measurements, then it would be best to go to the South Park location first. I highly recommend Janice’s.

The lady working there was friendly, I had to get a new zipper on an incredibly ugly used winter coat that I bought at Value Village.
Funny thing about that coat. It’s so ugly it rocks, I cost me 13 dollars to dry clean and since it’s so old, the drycleaning broke the zipper so I had to replace it, hence taking it here, hence this review, so no digression whatsoever.
Anyway, they did a good job. The zipper works. Was done on time. Nothing like investing 60 dollars into a 5 dollar coat.

They did a good fast job on a last minute drop off. Thanks a lot!
I will definitely use this place again. There is good 15 min street parking as well.

I used to live by Janice’s shop in my younger days. Her service was always amazing and she is just one of those folks you like to deal with. She knows her stuff inside and out and always makes your clothes look their best. Even though I now live in the burbs and have another great tailor very close by I still take the odd item to Janice as her shop is close to where I work — and like Cheers — she always remembers your name — nuff said :)

Despite winning the grade 9 Home Ec. award for my class, I am unable to do anything beyond sew on a button, so having a good tailor is essential. It was a long, unevenly-​hemmed road to Janice. After Pierot in Bishop’s Landing closed, I experimented with a couple of tailors with poor results. Fortunately, All Dressed Up recommended Janice. Go to Janice and say «this just doesn’t fit properly» — no problem, she understands what needs to be altered even if you don’t. Friendly, on-​time and just a couple of doors down from Uncommon Grounds.

On the upper ledge of my closet sits a mound of misfit clothing: a menswear blazer that I bought on ebay, a pair of dress shorts, a few lofty tops and pair of jeans that need hemming. I’ve been putting in a bit of time on the sewing machine, but by no means am I at the stage of giving precious items a proper tailoring job. That is where Janice came in.
I made the decision to take my collection over to Janice’s after picking up a recommendation from a friend. Located on South Park Street, it wasn’t too far of a jaunt, and I wanted to go somewhere I knew I’d be getting quality work.
Alterations, tailoring, dry cleaning, and custom made bridal gowns are all part of the offerings here. After a professional fitting and price confirmation, I was all set and ready to go. The service was kind, timely and the prices were right.
Just about a week for 3 items, I’ll remember this spot for next time. My blazer fits perfectly, my shorts are less bunchy, and I have a new top to add to my summer rotation.
