Yady is nothing short of a miracle worker with alterations! My wedding dress had been with (who I…read morethought was) a very reputable tailor for over two months after taking my measurements. When I finally picked it up, it fit me very poorly. I was totally panicking and unsure of what to do with less than a month until the big day. I took it to Yady as a last resort, knowing she most likely wouldn't be able to fit me in. She totally could have turned me away seeing as it's basically the height of wedding season and I was giving her three weeks. Not only did she accommodate me, she was so friendly and reassuring about it, AND she finished the dress in 2 weeks so that we had a few buffer days to make final tweaks and get the dress perfect. Yadi did not owe me that kind of service whatsoever! I was blown away at her customer service. This was a tall order for a last minute request- NOT a simple hem job. The top of my dress basically had to be completely reconstructed. She totally saved my dress and restored my excitement about the wedding in general. Her prices were also very fair for what she had to do on the timeline at hand. I couldn't recommend her enough!

I'd purchased the tux in 2004, had worn it a few times since then, but when I tried to squeeze into the suit...yikes! You get the idea. I picked up the suit today. Fatemeh was a miracle worker. She managed to add a couple of inches to the waist and added some room to the jacket in a way that is essentially undetectable. I am very pleased with the job that she did and can't wait to wear it to an event in a couple of weeks. It's also worth noting that she kept me updated on the status of the alterations via text. Well done and many thanks, Fatemeh!!

When I picked it up there was a BIG ORANGE stain in the front of the dress. She claimed the orange stain was there when I brought the dress in. I ponder:;: does anyone spend good money on hemming a white dress with an orange stain on the front of the dress???? Why did she not make a note of it then? No apologies from her...no discount....no benefit of the doubt.

Hisami is a true artist with a needle and thread. I brought in a couple of items that needed some serious work--to include custom jacket apparel for kids and military uniform repair. Hisami not only took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, but she also offered suggestions that made the pieces fit and look even better than I had hoped. The quality of her work is outstanding. Every stitch is precise, and the fit is perfect. You can tell she has years of experience and takes immense pride in what she does. Plus, she's incredibly kind and patient, making the whole experience a pleasure from start to finish. The turnaround time was quick, and the prices were very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the work. I left feeling like I had brand new clothes! If you want impeccable craftsmanship and personalized service, don't hesitate to visit Hisami's. I'll definitely be returning for all my future tailoring needs. Highly recommended!
