Venezia clothing & tailoring — Local services in Brookline

I had an incredibly disappointing and troubling experience with this tailor. Not only do they deliver poor-quality work, but their bait-and-switch pricing tactics were outrageous. After initially providing a quote, they significantly upcharged me at the end, knowing I had no other options to retrieve my garments.

Also having witnessed Vicky H’s interaction with the staff, I can unequivocally say she is using the term “racism” to defend her incredibly rude and entitled behavior. It’s sad that a well run small business has to deal with ignorant reviews by people who think that treating others poorly is somehow...
