Here are some Far East Plaza alteration tailors:
Alteration Tailors in Singapore & Price Guide - AvantGarb

I recommend serene tailor for fuss free and affordable hemming. Sounds like you have a few pairs of pants to send in, that's good. Try to bargain till $4 per pants.

Or if you want to save on the ride down to town, you can just do it at your neighbourhood dry cleaner/ alteration auntie, hemming pants is a very simple alteration and it's quite difficult to mess up.

Hi all, kindly avoid the alteration shop called "bubble Sensation,#01-38" at Hougang Green Shopping Mall.

The lady is so ill-mannered and tries to charge sky-high price as compared to other tailors. I have a dress and my mum brings it to her for tailor (cos initially we don't know about her services), and after few days we went to enquire from her how is the dress, she is so rude to not come out and reply us. Simply sit there and scratch her leg. And she is also selling bubble tea, I wonder if she has any hygiene ethics. without receiving any reply, my mum asked again then she simply just answer it's at the tailor, not done. So I asked if it hasn't been done we are ok, and can we bring the dress back? Then here she comes blabbering that it is done halfway. how can she twist her words? So i asked, how much? im so shocked that the alteration cost more than the price of the dress alone.And she refused to return me my dress!!

After that, I saw a couple coming to collect their clothes and asked for the price. The couple was shocked to hear how come the price increased $4. then they asked the lady, she just said 'ohhh ok lo, then give u $4 less lo'. How unethical is she. She wanna try her luck n collect more money from customers but when being found out, she said ok lo give u discount.


The way she do business is really unethical. Would like to share with you guys my experience, it's really bad!

if you want cheap, you can go to queensway shopping centre #02-12 and look for this Meng Meng Alteration Of Clothing tailor:

queenswaycurryparkway-50778.jpg


tapering from loose fit to slim/skinny fit = $10-$15
alteration of length = $3-$5

price will be slightly cheaper if you bring bulk of clothes to alter.

and please avoid going on weekends because you will see alot of schoolboys and NSFs crowding around the shop, waiting for their pants to be ready.
