I usually don't leave reviews but sometimes someone's work is so outstanding that it deserves to be recognized. This is Mannikins Tailoring.

I had had bad experiences with other tailors in the area and had stayed away from altering clothes. After losing some weight, I wanted to get some boxy shirts tapered into more of a slim cut and decided to try Mannikins based on the reviews I found here. I am glad I did.

Catherine's work is always amazing. Every seam and dart is reconstructed BUT the big difference is that it fits and feels so much better. The first shirt I had altered was just a plain black shirt (every guy needs one) that I had wore several times before and no one had commented on it. After tailoring at Mannikins, I received my first ever compliment on a shirt. Several actually and it was just a plain black shirt! I have taken several shirts since then, some with tricky decorative darts and seams. When I get the shirts back everything always lines up and is put back together like from the factory. It really looks and feels like a custom made shirt. It's not just shirts, I have had jeans and even a wool jacket altered by Mannikins.

I hope this review helps someone like the other reviews on this site have helped me. One more thing, if you don't know what a "dart" is, don't worry; you will after going to Mannikins. I have learned so much and you will too.
