Each job is unique I will provide a ballpark quote up front prior to first fitting and give an accurate quote after fitting seeing the garment in owrson and knowing all the details of the eork it entails.
How did you get started in this business?
I have been doing this all my life since the 1970's.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Brides, bridesmaids, grooms groomsmen, ballroom dancers, formals, ladies and mens suits and childrens clothing and costumes.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I enjoy making a bride feel beautiful for her very soecial day with exquisite attention to all the details to make her gown fit to the T and look stunning.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
You get what you pay for. Quality work is not cheap but it is worth every penny. The cheap work shows and can damage your gown. I do everything the old fashioned way with the utmost care and patience, for the very best results.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Have a vision in your mind of what you want. Communicate your vision clearly. Discuss your budget and the timing. Wedding gowns need more time to do than a formal. I will need to get your measurements and do a fitting in person for the best results. Wedding gowns need two to three fittings to complete. Most other things one is enough.
