About Alla
A professional seamstress, sewing in Canada since 2022
I specialize in professional clothing alterations and repairs. My goal is to help every garment fit better, feel more comfortable and last longer.
Each item is carefully assessed, and the price is confirmed with the client before the work begins.
Her work
A gown that no longer closed
The back was rebuilt as a laced corset — a fix that lets a dress keep fitting rather than fit once.
Why Choose Alla
Careful work, and a price agreed before it starts
Every garment is assessed individually — no guessed quotes, no surprises on collection.
Fit and finish come first. A hem should look like it was always that length.
Most alterations are ready in about a week.
By appointment only, so your garment gets her full attention rather than a place in a queue.
English and Ukrainian both spoken.

Alla is such a great seamstress. So happy with all the clothes I brought in, some for hemming and one for alteration. Her work is quality, the price is very reasonable and I got them back within days! Highly recommended.
