Q: Hi, Sandra! This is my first time using this site and I hope you can help. I used to have a  wonderful place to go for bras where Rose Marie would alter them.  She retired, and I am desperate, and have been  wearing that last bra I got there over and over and over because I cannot find a place to either have bras made or where they can procure large sizes and then do decent alterations, add comfort straps, etc.

I guess I am looking for a place where staff has the patience and expertise to fit a person with uneven “floppy disks” and do alterations, if needed, or actually custom-make one for me. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

A: The one place that I know of which still did this is: Boutique Anne Marie, 6648A St-Hubert  514-273-5503  276-0347   The (male) designer/owner has worked with all kinds of women (and men!) to fit bras. He sells sizes up to 50G or 44KK, so I think this will work. He has female staff.

Also try Change Lingerie in the Rockland Shopping Center or Carrefour Agrignon. They do not make them or fix them but they do sell bras up to size 40J and sell comfort straps.

Nettoyeur Écologique Royal uses a Professional Wet Cleaning or SMART Wet Cleaning to dry clean your clothes. It is a solvent-free technology using mainly water plus 100% bio-degradable organic soaps along with state of the art washing, drying and finishing machines. No toxic ingredients are used at all.

When clothes are dry-cleaned elsewhere, stains are pre-treated and the clothing is thrown into a washing/drying machine filled with chemical solvent. About 90% of dry cleaners use the chemical solvent called PERC (perchloroethylene). Perc has been seen to damage the nervous and reproductive systems (per the U.S. EPA), and is designated a hazardous air pollutant by the Federal government. After the year 2000, in Canada, perc emission-free machines can only be installed. When used, Perc remains in your clothing.

Nettoyeur Écologique Royal Eco-cleaner can healthily clean clothing, bedspreads, curtains, duvets, pillows, table cloths and napkins, as well as area rugs and carpets.

They can clean and detail your favorite handbags and restores them to their showroom look. They can developed techniques for UGG boots too. Specializing in hockey equipment, using their German-made machines, it too can be used for soccer, baseball or other sporting gear.

The  in-house seamstress can fix wedding, evening, prom and mother-of-the-bride dresses, and almost any kind of women’s and men’s formal wear. Tailoring can be done for minor or major alterations to clothes including  zippers, lining change, leather and suede, costumes, curtains and cushions.

Nettoyeur Écologique Royal can preserve your wedding gown as a keepsake  and placed in an acid-free preservation chest (with a viewing window!).
