Tamara was wonderful to work with for my wedding dress! She was able to make beautiful adjustments to fine lace detail on the dress. Thanks so much Tamara!

Tamara is amazing and so kind. She saved my dress after a bad experience with another tailor. She really makes you feel comfortable and works with your vision for the dress.

Tamara altered a bridesmaid dress for me and a dress for the same wedding's traditional Nigerian ceremony. Both dresses were super comfortable after she was done altering them - and without my asking she added a bustle to one so I wouldn't trip over myself. She was really considerate and patient with me. Thank you!!
