This meant I needed alterations on my dress - a giant Hayley Paige dress. I took it to Elaine and Elaine worked her magic in just 3 weeks - transforming the dress into everything I wanted. Watching Elaine work I know that no one else could have done what she did. She was able to take the train off, hem it to fit someone 5'3", create new straps, and so much more.

The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the price was outrageous. I was expecting to pay around $300 to take in the waist and she charge me almost $500!! I was pretty shocked seeing as how the dress wasn't even hemmed. She also charge one of my bridesmaids $280 to take in the waist on her dress which is at least double what you would expect to pay any alterations place. So overall, excellent quality but be prepared to pay top dollar.

My bridesmaids and some groomsmen were getting alterations with her so I decided to come to see if she could save my dress. She was extremely busy that week and could not take any more work as they were already rushing, but Maria saw my desperation when I came in through her doors, destroyed. My expensive wedding dress was ruined by Seams Unusual, and even though she was busy she accepted to take on the hard work (once a dress is ruined by another tailor, it's extremely hard to fix) was able to re design the dress in a way where you would no longer see the tears on the illusion neckline and back by doing beading handwork all over the dress, take it in 2 sizes, fix the horrible sewing and help with the pencil marks the dress had from the other "alteration" in THREE DAYS! She saved my dream dress that took over 60 try ons to find. Her and her team are extremely professional and talented! Take your expensive delicate stuff here, it will be in great hands. She is an artist!

They have a number of pieces in display cases that are standouts made by local artists. They have bottle caps bracelets and handbags made in Brazil by a women's co-op that was featured in "O" magazine, which I purchased. As you know settings and grade of stones determine price, so know that this is "costume jewelery" which is extremely well made and fun to wear. One of her local artists makes the most whimsical pieces, one that I could not resist! Go check it out since it is just off the Plaza.
