    Unprofessional email from her relative.  Funny because she didnt try to work with me, she basically denied me service.

    Her relative emailed me a private note which I am going to post. You run a business, you should be prepared to be professional no MATTER what. Please hold back your relatives from emailing customers and further ruining your reputation. BTW Jay - It is not my fault she was having a bad day. And just because someone is having a bad day doesnt mean they have the right to take it out on others/customers. Its common sense and just flat out wrong to say the customer should understand and take abuse.. Also if you read my 1st review, she didnt take the time to work with me at all..

    Si is the most wonderful and adorable seamstress I have ever had the opportunity to meet. She is amazingly personable and charming - I wanted to carry her away in my pocket. Working with Si on my insane tulle wedding dress was a breeze. My dress was quite difficult as it had layers of tulle and no side seams, so all the tailoring had to be done from the back zipper - trust that this was no easy task. Si works very methodically and on a great timeline. My dress came out like a fairytale and everyone complimented on the way it fit. You are in great hands with Si. I would note that she is a very busy woman, so have a good idea of when you'd be able to come in and what it is that you need done.

    Si did an amazing job on my wedding dress. Everyone who sees the before and after can hardly believe it! I brought in a very plain sleeveless dress and my own lace to add. She also added a french bustle, custom cap sleeves, and created a sweetheart neckline. The real work in this dress was definitely the lace. Si cut it into very small usable sections and I arranged them exactly how I wanted on the dress. We pinned everything, and after about 4-5 visits, the dress was complete. Originally, she quoted me a little low because she didn't anticipate the time that would need to be put into the dress, but I knew it would be a lot of work and had no problem arranging an extra payment with her. I couldn't be happier with the end result. What started out as a pretty dress, turned into the custom gown of my dreams! Thank you so much Si!

    I'm paying a little more than I would like but she is doing a lot of intricate work with lace and silk organza.

    Great experience and the owner will try her best to suite your needs and work around your schedule…read more She went above and beyond to make sure my wedding dress fit me perfectly. Everything was finished within 2 months, even during the busy holiday season.

    I've been coming here for nearly 20 years. Kim usually does decent work but a few recent…read moreexperiences have me questioning her integrity. I've brought in plenty of pants for tapering, shortening, taking in the waist, etc. Last winter I brought in pants that were off the rack and a little long with a 32 length. As usual, I tried them on with shoes and Kim helped measured the length to shorten and I picked them up a week later. Super quick process. I didn't try them on at pickup since I had a lot of work done by her previously so I had no reason to doubt her work. Unfortunately I went 3 months without wearing them but when I did, they were still far too long so I had to bring them in again. I explained the situation and when she examined the pants, she told me it was still the factory stitching so there wasn't any work done by her or any other tailor. I was surprised by that, and that she didn't recognize her own work. I assured her I brought them in just a few months prior. When she remeasured the length, she marked to pants to shorten another 1 1/8 in. She said that she always cuts the length requested by customers and so it was my fault and had to pay again for work on the pants. I have all my pants around 29 inseam so this obviously was not accurate and rather annoying she tried to blame me for the incorrect length since she was the one who previously measured. I needed them done so I went ahead. I didn't want to leave a review about this but the following experience was embarrassing and needed to share. I recommended her shop to a friend who needed to shorten the length of 2 curtains but had a horrible experience. At pickup, Kim casually mentioned that 1 of the curtains were already damaged at drop-off and that she decided to do a free patching for the damage. My friend was not notified of any damage prior to pickup, and furious there wasn't any sort of communication. She couldn't even return the "already damaged" curtains because of Kim's unilateral decision to patch the hole. I felt responsible so I sent my friend $600 to cover the cost of curtains. If there was truly damage already, why wouldn't you inform the customer first to decide options?! This used to be my go to tailor but it's now on my blacklist.
