The Plus column:

The Plus column:
Kathrine at Mannikins knows what she's doing.
She has been able to help me when I didn't quite know how to articulate what I wanted done or had a weak vision of the changes I wanted. So basically helpful when the customer is unhelpful.
Versatile. I've taken high-end suites to her as well as denim. Happy with the jeans, thrilled with the suites.
Fast. When I've been in, there's usually clients and works in progress yet she quotes a fast pick up time.
Fair price. With previous tailors I've used, it seems they charge a fee to set their hands on your garment regardless of the simplicity of the job. At Mannikins I generally smile and think, "that's an awesome price!" for all the things I asked.

The Negative:
She could use a bigger space. Someplace lounge-like with plush carpets and baroque furniture... maybe with a glass of wine.
