I'm singing Irina's praises. I had a traditional, very elegant, silk Chinese Cheong-sam dress that I had bought several years ago for my brother's wedding. It has a great deal of sentimental value to me. I had the opportunity to wear it again to my boyfriend's brother's wedding, but I needed to have it taken in (I had lost about 15-20 pounds). I stupidly brought it to the taylor at my dry cleaners and twhen I picked it up, the line was all wrong. It was twisted and didn't lay right in the back at all. I stupidly (again) asked the same taylor to correct it, and they messed it up even more! I found Silhouettes and in a panic I raced over there with less than a week to go until the wedding! I asked Irene if it was salvageable, and she reassured me that while it would require a good bit of reconstructing, everything was salvageable. She finished it in just a couple of days and WOW! It was perfect!!! Beautiful!!! Even better than when I had first bought it. She saved my life! No more dry cleaners. I'm bringing everything to Silhouettes from now on!
Pros: Truly expert tailoring! Quick service in an ""emergency"" situation. Very helpful.
Cons: Located in a residential building and is a little cramped and strange to find. But worth it!
