I am thrilled to refer my coworkers (mother of the brides, wedding guests, and their families) to this self made entrepreneur with 30+years specializing in formal wear alterations. Thank you, Karen!

I asked her to chop off the one shoulder strap on my gown, to make it strapless, as well as add a sweetheart neckline. We also did the usual tailor tucks and hemline trims to make the dress, and boy did it fit well! Really like a glove. And made me feel sooo beautiful on my day to be confident and not worried about weird puckering or anything abnormal. She also pressed the dress as an added optional service, which I appreciated a lot. She was a joy to work with and very sweet and easy to communicate with. Can't recommend this wonderful wedding tailor enough!

And this doesn't appear to be a one time thing, my daughter has met other brides who had to have a different seamstress fix what this woman did. I'm stunned that she has all 5 star reviews.
