Alter Ego Tailoring

Had a great experience having my wedding dress altered. Owner was friendly, easy to communicate with and went above and beyond for my bridesmaid and I. The environment was welcoming and clean.

I had a formal dress altered for graduation. Was very impressed by how professional Daniel was and how he focuses on every detail to make sure you are happy with the end result.

Thank you for your

Have Recommended your shop to our family and Friends.
Enjoy the Holiday and Thanks Again

I don't usually post reviews but felt compelled to do so in this instance. Save yourself a lot of aggravation, stress, time, and money and find another tailor other than Alter Ego Tailors (Mr. Daniel Royale).

I bought my wedding dress off the rack - it was a size 10 but I needed a size two. The boutique where I purchased the gown recommended Alter Ego/Mr. Royale as a 'wedding dress specialist tailor'. His shop is located on the backside of the Doyle building directly across the street from the new library on Spring Garden Road.

From the beginning, I did not get a good feeling about the shop/tailor. I should have listened to my gut and left with my dress after the initial consultation.

Mr. Royale promised a lot but didn't deliver. In my opinion, he was forgetful, unfocussed, distracted, didn't listen, and seemed to be perpetually rushed/in a hurry.

I'm not sure if the issue is lack of skill, lack of attention to detail, not listening, not taking proper notes, or taking on too many clients, but I suspect it's a combination of all those things. In a nutshell, he basically butchered my dress. My dress required a number of various alterations to make it fit properly and make it the way I wanted. Mr. Royale assured me he was up to the task but fell well short of the mark.

After multiple appointments and alterations, I ended up paying almost three hundred dollars for an ill-fitting, too long dress (among several other issues) that, sadly, I was not looking forward to wearing on my wedding day.

Mr. Royale only accepts cash and gave me a generic receipt that did not bear the name of his shop; a practice that to me, seems rather sketchy. What reputable business these days doesn't accept debit/credit? Why wouldn't you want the name of your business to appear on the receipts you issue to customers? I can't help but wonder what Revenue Canada thinks of this practice.

After my disastrous experience with Alter Ego Tailors (Daniel Royale), I took my dress to another tailor and spent $225 to have my gown properly altered, fitted and fixed. Lesson learned (unfortunately) the hard way.

I did find them a little pricey but you also get what you pay for. I think the biggest selling point of this business is that this is where you want to bring the complicated dress or the meaningful dress that you really want to make sure gets altered competently.

Had some work done on my wedding dress. I tried to call 3 different times to move an appointment and never heard back even though the voicemail said they would get back in 24hrs. The work was done great, a few things were missed at the time of pick up but he fixed them on the spot which was appreciated. I would definitely get a quote in writing though. I was told at most I would pay $300 if it was a resizing which it wasnt, but with the work I needed it would be "way less". I went to pick up and it ended up being $345. Where I wasnt expecting this it was very upsetting. Like I said would recommend for the work that was done but clarify the price first if that is a concern.

Best experience I've ever had getting something tailored. Not only is Daniel amazing at what he does but he's an awesome person and the prices are awesome. I've had some bad experiences in the past having bridesmaids dresses altered but with Daniel is was quick, easy and so well done. I can't say how happy I am will the work he did and I would recommend everyone to go there.

I took my wedding dress to Daniel to add some customizations to it as well as to shorten it and and find a solution for the train after the ceremony. Not only did he do everything i asked for but he even made additional suggestions and all of that for significantly less than what I expected to spend! Im extremely happy with the results!

Amazing job taking in my wedding dress over multiple weeks as I lost weight. Was $100+ less then David's bridal who was hesitant on doing it because of the amount of weight I lost. Also altered 3 of my bridesmaids dresses for a very reasonable price!

Highly recommend this tailor shop! He is amazing at his job my dress turned out perfect and he has a great personality overall great experience
