I recently moved to Evansville, Indiana and needed a tailor since flying back to Costa Mesa, CA to get my clothes altered isn't always an option (joking). I was born with many blessings, but a bubble-butt isn't one of those gifts, so tailoring is essential.
Southern Indiana winter for a Southern Californian means new clothes. I bought a pair of heavy wool pants on eBay that were a little tight in the waist and had a pair of vintage wool pants that belonged to my stepfather that were easily three sizes too big (long and baggy). Both needed alterations.
Garden View Creations wasn't my first choice because the pictures made me think they specialized in wedding gowns and bridesmaids dresses and I've had men's pants turned into ladies capris by such specialists, but the other tailor I called never responded, so I gave them a call.
I am so happy that I met Dorita, the owner of Garden View Creations! She did an amazing job altering the eBay pants and completely transformed my step father's pants to make them fit me. Dorita has an excellent eye, and more importantly, an excellent ear. Everyone has a different sense of style and hearing what a client wants is paramount for tailoring.
I'm so happy with Dorita's work that I dropped off another pair of pants and will bring her any new clothes I buy while I live in the area.
Thank you, Dorita!
PS, my mom loves that I'm able to wear her husband's pants. It means a lot to both of us! read more
