With a crazy schedule and as a huge procrastinator, I delayed on taking my bridesmaid's dress in to get tailored for my cousins wedding on June 6th. I ordered it online from jcrew at the 10th hour and unfortuntately the only size they had left was one size too small. I kept telling myself that I would manage to lose a few pounds to fit into the green silk dress, but with two wks to the wedding, I knew i had to take it in to get tailored. The funny thing is the dress does fit (I am a size four from the midsection down, but it would not zipper around my chest as I am a 34D). My friend had recommended that I go to Silhouettes and Profiles. Upon entering the tailor, I was immediately welcomed by friendly women and instructed to try on the dress. Low and behold, this was not an easy job. since there is no extra cloth at the zipper, they had to remove the silk from the back of the dress and essentially remake the dress in order to make this work. With less than two weeks for the job, I wasn't sure if this was possible... BUT went in for the fitting one week later and these women are miracle workers. No other tailor in teh city would have taken on this job and finished it so seamlessly (no pun intended) as they did; so that the dress fit like a glove and there were no obvious ""scars"" on the dress. These women work MAGIC! I will definitely be going back to them for future dress fitttings. Thank you so much Silhouettes & Profiles!!! Do not know what I would have done without you!
