Recently I brought a 1959s, sewed down, pleaded skirt to Elena to alter for me. Yes, I wore this skirt when I was 16. Sewn by my mother, the skirt had followed across the county many times stored in a cotton pillow case. Unable to part with it, I approached Elena for help. Could it be refitted to a 72 year, young woman. She took it under able hands and did wonders, working her magic with skills and know how. Yes I am now wearing the skirt (of course I had to purchase a pair of saddle shoes to match). Thank you Elena. My mother would had been proud as I am much appreciative of your talent.
