We began working with Arti 6 months prior to the big events. She kept us on track time-wise and helped us to make some crucial decisions in regards to the use of a 63 year old wedding dress to be woven into the present-day wedding dresses. She was beyond helpful in the decision making process. The work that she did on all of our garments was just perfect. I cannot say enough about the quality and professionalism of her work. Every item that we needed attention to was just as we envisioned. Her warm personality won us over - all of us just love her! I cannot recommend Arti's seamstress services enough!

It was agreed that they would use the fabric from the bottom to add room at the zipper. Was told to come back on the 20th (almost two weeks from drop off). Dance was 27th. Came on the 22nd to try on. Back was great, but hem was a mess- uneven, slip hanging out under mesh overlay, strings that attach the beads loose. She said she'd fix it, come back Wed. On Wed, she basically shoved the dress at me and I paid and left- at this point I knew it must still be a mess because I wasn't even shown the finished product. But at that point I just needed to figure out what needed to be fixed. As I walked to the car, sequins were falling off in the parking lot. I ended up having to completely undo her hem, remove the stones at the bottom and secure the thread attaching the stones so no more fell off, rehem and hand-sew the stones and sequins to match the rest of the dress. I had to skimp because I didn't have many extras to work with. Dress ended up turning out fine despite about 4 hours of my time fixing the dress. Monday I went back to get the garment bag she did not return. While waiting, I saw she had a pile of stones that she did not give me!! I needed those for the fix!! She could not find my bag. All in all, the price she quoted was reasonable for the zipper alterations but felt low for both zipper and hem so I guess you get what you pay for... but the work was not at all what she told me I would get, and def not worth the stress it caused. Will never return or recommend to others.

I showed up and she had a hard time finding my jacket to find out it hasn't been done yet. She asked if I could come back later in the day or another day. I chose to come back on Tuesday. I came back and she found it not done again. Again asked if I would come back later in the day or the next day, again I came back the next day. It was done and done well. Excellent work. So I am happy. But just be aware you may have to come back. Still I will be back here and if I need it asap I will make sure to let her know. I was in no real hurry.

When I picked them back up, they were ready and looked just like when I dropped them off, but now properly fitted! Excellent workmanship. I will absolutely use them again for my next tailoring projects!

I tried another company for one of them, had a friend's mom do one- and I made the mistake of not getting one of them altered. A second trip to Pauline convinced me of what I already knew- she is friendly, professional, and does great work. She's also extremely affordable. My last set of alterations only cost me $20.24! My one and only complaint, if I had to make one, is that she is SOOO far away, and because she does alterations out of her home, it is a little tough to find if you are not familiar with the area. Despite all of that, I'm a huge fan, and I'll definitely be going back to her when (and not if) I am in another wedding. One thing to note, however- is that she does NOT press the dress for you, so you'll need to have that done separately!

I originally chose Pauline because of her great prices and location. I liked that she took appointments on some evenings, so that it did not interfere with my work schedule. I had my first fitting/consultation eight weeks before my wedding, as she recommmended. She works out of her home, but has a professional area with a full body mirror and a private space to change. During my first fitting, I could tell Pauline is a perfectionist... which is exactly what I want in someone altering the most expensive article of clothing I'll ever wear! She did everything she could to make the dress fit perfectly and look amazing, and it worked! I met with her once more five days before my wedding for my final fitting. The dress fit exactly how it was supposed to. I loved that she she sewed in two hooks at the top of the zipper, one tighter than the other. This made it so when my strapless dress stretched throughout the day, we could switch it to the tighter hook so it didn't slip down at all. I brought my maid of honor with me and Pauline showed her how to bustle the dress (I had a ball gown with a long train). Pauline performed the following services for me all for just over $200: -took in the dress by a couple sizes -sewed in bra cups -inserted a few stays to keep the bodice from wrinkling -fixed a few beading areas -bustle
