I took my wedding gown and my fiancee's linen suit here to be altered. My dress was a relatively simple a line silk shantung dress that needed to come in significantly in the bust and be hemmed 6 inches. I also wanted removable straps made so that later in the evening I could stop worrying about the strapless top. The dress fits perfectly now and the owner made very clever little straps that are easy to remove and do not disrupt the lines of the dress when they are not attached. The suit also came out beautifully. It is a linen Brooks brother's suit, but my fiancee had lost about 15 pounds since we bought it so the pants needed some serious help. The length and waist were adjusted beautifully and the lining in the pants was adjusted as well. Lastly, the shirt that goes with the suit was altered to fit perfectly. I called a few days before they were due to be finished and was told they would be ready. I was very pleased. Note: they do not take credit cards, but were more than happy to tell me the price when I called in the morning. There are also 4 banks within throwing distance. Also- I dropped the outfits off with a month for the alterations to be completed. They were very appreciative of the time and thanked me for it. That said, I'm sure they could do it faster, but if you can drop off with a month it's probably a good idea. The owner is very friendly and knew what she was doing.
