For my wedding, I decided to wear my grandmothers 53 year old (non-preserved) wedding dress. While i love the dress, it needed a bit of tailoring.. fixed seams, smoother darting, and i wanted it cocktail length instead of a full train. I had my maid of honor research places i could trust, and Profiles & Silhouettes came up as the most highly recommended place, hands down.
Being on a budget I thought maybe it would be out of my price range, but i figured it was worth going in to check. The seamstress told me to put my dress on, and on the spot would give me a quote for the things i wanted... and if it wasn't what i wanted to spend, no problem i could walk out and it wouldn't be an issue. Not only was the price WAY below what i thought it would be - i could tell from the dresses on the wall around me that they would do a beautiful job.
Everything i wanted was listened to and delivered, and i was given excellent feedback of what would look best on me and would be best for the style of dress. I felt i was in excellent hands, and that i could trust the opinions of every employee. They made me feel comfortable leaving something so valuable in their hands, and made it easy to accommodate my schedule.
Aside from the amazing service, professionalism and ease involved with this experience, I have to say i felt the staff was genuinely excited to have helped be part of my big day. I was even asked to mail a photograph of me in the dress on my wedding day, along with a photo of my grandmother in it. I love that! Should i ever be in need of tailoring again, no matter how big or small, this is where i will go... and thats saying a lot that a brooklyn girl is willing to travel all the way to the upper west side.
I can not say enough positive things about them, and i would recommend anyone to frequent them.
Thank you!!
