I had ordered a bridesmaid dress too small and brought it in to see what could be done. The alterations that Nikki did made me love the dress even more! Quick turn around and wonderful customer service. I will definitely be coming back!

Nikki is a pro at what she does! She's knowledgeable and experienced. We've taken my daughter's dresses (plus the gloves that went with it but were too wide around the wrist) and tops as well as my son's dress uniform and everything is great. It looks sharp and fits well.
