★★★★★

Requested to have my maternity dress altered into a top for myself and a dress for my daughter. Both pieces turned out beautifully. Hui Ling even gave allowances for my daughter’s dress so that it can “expand” as she grows. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Thank you so much for realising this 🙂

Found Stitch and Steam by doing a google search near my home and sent them a message via WhatsApp. Received a quick phone call to address my needs for a quick next day turnaround. She had me come over and helped me alter my dress for a next day event. The alterations were perfect, exactly what I needed and were done the next day. I will come back for more items to be done.

I’m so happy with Stitch & Steam’s professional work! The stitching is very detailed and neat she even sewed a few of my abayas by hand. I had 4 jeans and 6 abayas altered, and everything was done beautifully. It’s such a blessing to have a talented tailor right next to my home. Highly recommended! ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
