A Family Business Built on Care

Fatima Dry Cleaners & Alterations is a family-run shop on Adelaide Street East in the heart of Toronto's Corktown neighbourhood. Fatima, an artist and engineer by background, brings a rare combination of technical precision and creative vision to every garment that crosses her table.

From beaded bridal gowns and delicate silk dresses to heavy wool coats and everyday denim, there is no fabric too tricky and no request too unusual. Customers bring in everything from last-minute wedding emergencies to vintage pieces needing careful restoration, and the result is always the same: a perfect fit, done on time, at a price that surprises people.

Together with her son Ali, who keeps the business running smoothly with modern scheduling and communication, Fatima has built a neighbourhood fixture where first-time customers quickly become regulars. 215 five-star reviews tell the story better than we ever could.
