I recently joined the tailoring class, and it has been a wonderful experience. The trainer is very patient and explains every step in detail, from basic stitches to advanced designing. The classes are well-structured, practical, and easy to follow, even for complete beginners. I especially like how we get to practice hands-on with real fabric, which builds confidence quickly.
The atmosphere is friendly, supportive, and encouraging. We not only learn tailoring techniques but also useful tips about fabric selection, cutting methods, finishing, and even small design tricks that make a big difference.
Overall, this tailoring class is perfect for anyone who wants to learn tailoring as a hobby, upgrade their skills, or even start their own business. Highly recommended!

I joined after being impressed by their initial communication, but everything changed once the fees were paid. The classes were disappointing and didn’t match what was promised. Most of the positive reviews seem fake — I later found out they offer money to people just to write good reviews and pose for photos, even if they’re not real students.
It felt like a setup from start to finish. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine learning. Please be cautious and do your research before enrolling.
