Gina is a miracle worker! I set her up for zero success by asking her to add a tie back to a dress…read moreinstead of a zipper in a day for an event. I also showed up with only the dress and nothing else she had asked for (sorry again about that!). Gina not only finished the dress earlier than we discussed, she gave me multiple options of ways this alteration could be done, with no additional materials needed, and she was communicative the whole time. She is so wonderful and did such an amazing job it looks like the dress was meant to tie vs zip. Would absolutely recommend her and use her again. Thank you again, Gina!

Saw this place was reviewed 5 stars. No chance. Asked this lady to hem my bridesmaid dress in 2022…read moreand needed it by a date about 2 weeks out. She told me that would be plenty of time for a quick hem! Service was expensive at $40! Dress was not done by the initial date I needed, but luckily I ended up staying in town a few days extra, and followed up with her regarding the status of my dress. She had not even touched it yet. I told her the new date I needed it done by and that I would pick it up then, done or not. She was very dismissive. Finally the day I picked up my dress it was the worst, rushed hem job I've ever seen. At least it was a good length I guess. Now that I have sewing experience.... I realize I would have done a better job before I ever touched a sewing machine.

Anahid is a lovely person, and she appears to do good work. She is, however, (1) quite expensive,…read moreand (2) hopelessly disorganized. 1) I live in New York for many years, and never paid anything like $43 (supposedly a discount) for two hems and a zipper. But this is only the insult to the injury. 2) I originally took in a pair of curtains needing hemming in early May. These were promise for June 3rd, but were not available until July 3rd, a full month later. Two other items promised for mid-June were likewise delayed. Anahid appears to rely on her memory for all of the materials left with her, literally hundreds of things. She needs a system for tracking these, clearly. She also needs help with customer service (calling to say it would be delayed, apologizing--something she never did--even offering some sort of restitution for problems). It took 10+ minutes to pick up and pay for my items because of her incompetence. 3) I notice that a cheap sewing machine is but $69 on Amazon; maybe I should hem my own curtains?
