    End result after alterations. Lovely indeed!
    Dana B.

    Our teenage son needed his entire suit altered last-minute. Akram answered the telephone very quickly and was eager to accommodate us the same day. When we arrived for the appointment, the seamstress was very friendly and eager to ensure every detail was handled. We were able to pick the suit up the very next-day. Everything turned out beautiful and ahead of schedule for our peace of mind. The communication was above-average. Akram informed us that the seamstress will be moving closer to the Gaithersburg area, from Frederick in August 2024, but regardless of the longer distance---we will not hesitate to call upon this great company for any future alteration-tailoring needs. The seamstress and her daughter treated us like family. My son also commented on the professional and friendly demeanor. The price we paid for a full alteration was much lower than what we have paid in the past for similar services. Quality and a very fair price was appreciated. Our family highly recommends Akram to anyone, in need of last minute alterations or a task which requires more detail and planning. The positive memorable experience is precisely what one can expect with Akram.

    I had a complicated dress and was very pleased how it turned out. Akram likes perfection and a happy customer!

    I went to Estee based on glowing recommendations from a friend who had her dress altered by her…read more Even though Estee had worked with her a few years ago she totally remembered my friend and her dress. First things first, Estee is a very talented seamstress that does very affordable alterations. This is probably why she is booked months in advance. I started going to her in January for a July wedding, and I called her in November to book my first appointment. She also strictly only does wedding dresses. She works out of her home, so fittings are usually on weekdays. Follow her directions on the phone exactly, because the numbering of the houses there make literally no sense. You'll be changing in her guest bathroom and modelling in her living room. Don't worry usually no one else is home, she makes sure her husband is out of there during appointments. I had three fitting appointments with Estee because I am crazy short and wedding dresses are designed for tall models. I had a somewhat complicated dress and she managed to hem it perfectly around the pattern on the bottom and under the bodice. She also added a bustle to hold up a heavy dress. She also sewed in a nice set of boobs (bra cups) for the top. Estee is also the biggest sweetheart you will ever meet. I was actually kind of sad at our last fitting because she was so nice to talk to, I was devising ways to get more wedding dresses altered. So now that the dress has been revealed, I can tell the world what a great job Estee did.

    I worked with Estee on my column wedding dress with lace all over. I needed to have the shoulders…read morebrought up, the bottom shortened and the slit shortened to still curve how it did originally. She also had to alter the slip to make sure it didn't peak through the slit when I walked as well. Estee was so welcoming and professional. I could not suggest her more. My dress was perfect and I owe it to her!
