Dressmaker

Anyone know of a skilled one in the local area? My wife has a number of evening dresses that need adjusting now she has lost 40-50 lbs but a couple of them will need an expert touch because of the styling / detail.

I use 'Stitch Express' on Packers Row. It's a tiny shop & I've been happy with alterations.

I used them for a new zip in a leather jacket. Done properly at reasonable money. I also get the feeling that there is a high level of skill for more tricky jobs. I'd say have a word with them about it

If you can't find anyone else & try Stitch Express; then although it is a small shop there is a little place for changing & one of the ladies would help with the pinning etc to help your wife decide what she wants. I'm not on commission - just saying!
