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, they'll pin it and name the price, 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
No ticketing system, no counter staff. Just two people who have heard every fitting problem before, and a shop set up so yours gets solved on the spot.
01
Put the piece on behind the curtain. They pin what needs to move and explain the plan before you leave it with them.
02
Every job is quoted on the spot, per piece, before a single stitch goes in. No surprises at collection.
03
Ivy and Ah Wah quote your job, sew your job and hand it back. Reviewers call them the uncle and auntie for a reason.
04
The same machines make curtains, bedsheets and sofa covers to order, and replace every type of zip.
05
A dress with layered, uneven hems. A gown re-tailored from the zip out. Recent reviews cover both, finished fast.
06
No waiting around and no chasing. When your piece is done, you get a message to come and collect it.
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 gown re-done from the zip out, with the fit praised 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
Alterations are quoted per piece in the shop, before any work starts.
Recent work
These photos come from the shop's own Google listing: real jobs, photographed where they were finished.
Jeans in the morning, a bridal gown by lunch, curtains in between.
The range on the signboard isn't for show. The same counter takes hems, gowns, quilts and zips, and the reviews mention nearly all of them by name.

"This place have the best review in Singapore so I didn't hesitate to come all the way from Punggol... The uncle and auntie is very friendly and I feel comfortable to tell what I want to do with the dress."
"From the time I stepped in till I left, amazing service... My dress fit was commended by many during My ROM. I truly will choose you both always for all my alteration needs."
Freshly altered jeans, folded and ready for collection.
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 describe the same routine again and again: try it on, get it pinned, hear the price, come back 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.
