    Costa Rica wedding 4/17/2023
    Sara S.

    Carla is an amazing seamstress! I received my dress 1 month before we left for our wedding in Costa Rica and was stressed I wouldn't find someone to alter it in time! Carla had it perfect in 1 week! My husband absolutely loved my dress when he finally saw it walking down the beach! I couldn't have been more happy with how it turned out. I wouldn't consider anyone else now to do alterations in the future! Her pricing was good and fair, communication was great, she's professional, so very sweet, and I was shocked how quickly she had it ready! I had the side zipper adjusted, shoulders raised, and front sheer fabric put to reinforce it. My dress is absolutely perfect. I LOVE it!! Thank you so so much, Carla!!

    Altered bridesmaid dress

    I needed a last minute alteration done on a bridesmaid dress and Carla managed to squeeze me in and get it done in 24 hours. She explained everything in detail to me about how my dress was cut and how she could fix it to make it look better. I feel so lucky to have found her! Highly recommend!

    Nice work with fast turn around. A bit difficult getting in/out of drive way due to traffic.

    Lena is SO KIND and flexible. I came in with a huge concern. I placed an order for bridesmaid…read moredresses online, didn't know the order was canceled and then had to reorder last minute with just weeks to spare. Unfortunately all of them were the wrong size. I had to make a decision, try reordering and hope the new dress fits and arrives in time or see if a tailor could let out a couple inches. The new dress size wouldn't have arrived until the week of the wedding and I was PANICKING. Lena reassured me that she had plenty of room to work with in letting out the seams of my dress. She requested 2 weeks to work on it, I came in and it fits but she asked for another week to make a couple tweaks so it had a little more breathing room. She will have it ready for me the week of the wedding. She SAVED ME.

    A trade that is difficult to find in my opinion. You just don't find too many tailors these days…read more So when I was in need of alterations for dress pants I started to search in the area. Came across Lena's tucked in downtown Waukesha. I came in with three pairs of pants that didn't need too much work.. mostly length and a bit in the waist on one pair. She was professional, nice, prompt, courteous and busy! She seems to be very busy during high school prom season for good reason. Quality work and reasonably priced. She gave me a timeline and it was ready. I have since come back for other tailoring needs. Again, these are the "mom & pops" places you want to give your business to. Lena is professional and no need to reference the old Friends episode, well why not! If you are old enough to remember this episode and want to laugh. Chandler: Oh, come on. He said he was going to do my inseam, and then he ran his hand up my leg, and then there was definite... cupping. Joey: That's how they do pants! First they go up one side, they move it over, then they go up the other side, they move it back, and then they do the rear. Joey: [Chandler and Ross stare at him] What? Ross, would you tell him? Isn't that how a tailor measure pants? Ross: Yes. Yes, it is... In prison! What's the matter with you?
