Sound familiar?
The dress you ordered online arrived a size out. The last alteration place sent you home disappointed. The big day is close and the fit still isn't right.
Bring it to the void deck at Blk 127. You'll try it on in the shop so they can see the fit, and it's often back in your hands the same day.

A bridal dress, same day
"My partner was looking for an alteration place for her bridal dress and the owners were so friendly and nice. They were super efficient - only took a few hours! Price was def more than reasonable for a same day alteration. Highly recommended if you want anything tailored well and at a good price!"
A tricky layered dress
"I brought my dress and pants in for alterations. The uncle mentioned that it was a tricky job because my dress has multiple layers of different lengths. Within an hour, I received a message that it was ready for collection... it turned out great. Highly recommended!"
Fitted in the shop
"Lovely elderly couple who runs the store... the uncle and auntie were really efficient, sent in my dress and less than 1 hour they told me i can come collect it already. Good thing is that you can try on the spot in the shop the dress so the uncle can understand how you want to alter it and he also explain how he is going to do it as well. Really great experience with them and happy how my dress turned out. Thank you!"
How they work
It's Ivy and Ah Wah themselves at the machines, in a void deck shop with a curtain to change behind, so your piece gets looked at on you before they start.
01
Put the piece on behind the curtain so they can see the fit. One reviewer wrote that the uncle explained how he was going to do the job before they left the dress.
02
One reviewer wrote that the uncle quoted $12 to shorten the straps on a dress and $18 to take in the bust area. Ask at the counter for the price on yours.
03
Ivy and Ah Wah are the ones at the machines, and the ones who hand your piece back. Reviewers simply call them the uncle and auntie.
04
The same machines make curtains, bedsheets and sofa covers to order, and replace every type of zip.
05
A dress with multiple layers of different lengths. A dress re-done by removing the zip and re-tailoring it. Recent reviews describe both.
06
One reviewer wrote that within the hour they had a message saying the dress was ready for collection.
Services
The services below are the ones painted on the shop's own sign at #01-53, in both languages.
Evening dresses, bridal and ROM gowns, straps shortened, bust and waist adjusted. You try it on in the shop so the fit is pinned to you, not to a mannequin.
Hemming, waists taken in, buttons swapped. Bring the pair that never quite sat right and collect it sitting right.
Stuck, broken or worn-out zips replaced on all kinds of clothing. One recent review describes a dress re-done by removing the zip and re-tailoring it, with the fit commended at the ROM itself.
Curtains, bedsheets and sofa covers made to order, measured and sewn in the same little shop.
Also handled at the counter
Bring the piece in and ask at the counter for the price.
Recent work
These photos all come from the shop's own Google listing.
Jeans, bridal gowns, curtains and quilts, all from one counter.
The range on the signboard isn't for show. The same counter takes hems, gowns, quilts and zips, and reviews mention the gowns and the zip work by name.

The shop
Wonderful Alteration Store sits at unit #01-53, under Blk 127 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh. The yellow signboard carries the name in both languages: Wonderful Alteration, 旺德福修改衣服.
It's run by Ivy and Ah Wah, the couple you'll find at the machines. Reviewers simply call them the uncle and auntie, and the routine they describe is the same one: try the piece on in the shop, talk through what needs changing, and often come back for it later that day.
The doors open at 6:30 in the morning, Tuesday to Sunday. And people don't just come from around the block: one reviewer crossed the island from Punggol on the strength of the reviews alone.
Plan your visit
