Seamstress recommendations

[emacky]

Hey

I got a bunch of lululemon dress shirt as a gift and the length of the body of the shirt is a bit too long for me. I asked them if they could hem the shirt, which they said they could but the back won't have the normal curved cut of a dress shirt anymore. Instead it would be this weird ass straight cut in length.

I'm curious if anyone has a recommendation for a good seamstress that could hem a dress shirt length and still look normal.

Bonus if they could make it a slim fit as well

There has to be seamstresses available in Vancouver that custom sew ,for all the high end menswear and suit retailers.
I had some shirts altered to fit my waist, before a western wedding through Moores...it seems if your extra large, they think your extra large around the waist as well....which wasn't the case.


" Note to all the Mods.......Do you see how well I just behaved there? I had no idea lululemon sold men's clothing"

I think if you google "tailors" in Vancouver you might have some luck. Seamstresses are generally for womens clothing I believe.

Where are you located? Make It Fit at Lougheed Town Centre does alterations quickly.

Check out “Minichello’s” in NV (is still there), they have done a few for me in the past...

Blair Shapera on Hornby Street.

I've had my "bespokes" by him and designer shirt alterations. I've been a customer for 20+ years.
My dress shirts are on file with him and I'll order them via phone as per need base.
Best to call his office and enquire before making an appointment.

Have a read through his website for a little more info / background: www.blairshapera.com

Good luck.
