The place is super consistent, quality and friendly. If you ever need something a little early they are very accommodating.

I would give 100 stars if I could! If you are looking for a seamstress for ANY alteration, look no…read morefurther! Especially complex wedding gown alterations. I have never experienced such fantastic customer service, and exceptional quality work in my life. Here is a little story that might highlight for you how amazing Michelle is: I went through 3-4 fittings with a seamstress I was friendly with, but she kept insisting I needed to wear a regular bra with straps for my expensive, nude color mesh +lace wedding gown. I picked it up Sunday night (6 days before the wedding), tried it on at home with a full length mirror, and as I moved around I realized the top did not fit at all. It was falling off, the area for the boobs was hanging, things were in strange places. I sent a picture to my sister and friend and they agreed it was not wear-able. When I contacted my seamstress she said she didn't know what she could do, aside from taking the whole thing apart, but there wasn't time for that. I didn't sleep all night and started making phone calls at 7 am to find a new seamstress. Keep in mind the dress is a sheer mesh, crepe fabric, and then covered in very tightly sewed on lace appliques. There is no "easy fix". By 8 am Michelle called me back, had me send her pictures of the issue and although she was swamped with other clients alterations, said she would fit me in at 8:30 for a consultation. I arrived, got into the dress, and she immediately pointed out the areas that required work, pulled out the bra cups the previous seamstress put in the wrong place, threw new ones in there, and pinned it up to fix everything. It was like a whole new dress. I literally almost cried. This is Monday. I came back Wednesday afternoon for a second fitting and it was almost done. She knit-picked and fussed over the tiniest details I would not have even noticed. Made sure it was perfect, and I will have my dress by Friday (tomorrow) at 12 pm. Talk about service. Aside from this, Michelle made sure I calmed down and understood that everything would be okay. She kept in contact via text everyday and I know spent hours on this dress. Needless to say, I finally slept last night and was able to focus on all the other details of the wedding. I know the dress is going to be PERFECT. Oh, to top it off her price was nothing compared to my original failing alterations. I could not believe it. Give Michelle a call and I'm sure she'd be happy to help you with any of your alteration needs. Also turns out she did wedding dresses, prom dresses, and mother of the bride dresses for half the people who work in my office. They even had her business card in their wallet and pulled it out as I was going on and on about this new seamstress named Michelle I had found :) I'll post my dress before and after photos after the wedding this weekend so you can see her amazing work.

Michelle is the most incredible seamstress there is! not only is she an amazing person, but her…read moretalent for this work goes beyond your traditional seamstress. I would recommend Michelle to any bride or person looking for immaculate work at a fair price.

Lena is an absolute gem in a business that deals with an art that is becoming obsolete and some of…read moreus really appreciate that. Not only is tailoring a gown incredibly pain staking in itself that requires a life long amount of endless evolution and the styles and construction of gowns evolve, but they are also the face of your wedding or special event and can often have to balance the clients nerves, anxieties and insecurities along with the initial job at hand which is to tailor your gown. The shop/studio itself is absolutely beautiful with a newly remodeled alteration section complete with immaculate herringbone floors that you can eat off of, a wet bar, and coffee/espresso. You go in feeling like the only person in the store. Pinning a gown doesn't take long, it's completely painless. The service itself is incredible. I walk in and they know me by name, the employees are very nice and accommodating. I've had 3 gowns tailored here to perfection and had a custom Italian suit (which they sell in the shop) tailored to perfection. When investing in a special gown, you should also invest in a perfect tailoring job. The 1st thing I notice when at a wedding is a dress that could've been perfect, if only the tailoring was taken more seriously. Lena and her employees are invaluable to us and will obviously continue to utilize and refer everyone we know.

We came here with some outlet Armani in need of alterations for an upcoming wedding. My partner…read morealso purchased a shirt and pants from her to match the jacket. We got it all back today. The shirt is not fit to his body at all. The pants were not altered, to the point rhey still had chalk in the bottom. And the jacket, still had the pockets stitched up. He doesn't have time to go back and have it fitted with his schedule leading up to the wedding - which is stressful - especially when you pay so much. Really disappointed, and inconvenienced as hell.

Rating - Zero stars If it would let me! I needed sleeves…read moreshortened prior to a trip to Europe. I brought the garment in 3 weeks in advance and was told it would be ready a week before departure. When I arrived on the appointed day, I was told it had not been done and was asked to return later that day. I could see that she was behind in her work and volunteered to wait until the following Monday, but explained that I needed the alterations by Thursday at the very latest.. I was told to return on Tuesday, When I did, the place was closed. There was a sign saying it would be closed until Thursday due to an" emergency." I returned on Thursday morning, and was now told it needed just a few minutes of work, but I should come back in the P.M. She would call the minute it was done. I left without complaint and waited for her call, which never came. I called her at 4 o"clock and was told it wasn't done and she had no intention of finishing it that day. When I reminded her of my trip the next day, she told me that she didn't care. After all these are"simply clothes. Give me a break. They're not priorities." She told me to come and get my unfinished garment and hung up the phone on me. I did just that . I took the garment and found someone who cared more about both her own work and my needs and altered it on the spot. I cannot believe how rude and unprofessional she was - especially to someone who had already offered to help her out and volunteered to wait until the last minute to ease her stress. My advice -- go elsewhere.
