Frist, I never write reviews but my husband and I as well as my bridesmaids had yet another fantastic experience with Irene that I just had to - every woman needs a fabulous seamstress and I have counted on Irene for 10 years.

She turned a "typical" dress in to a gown that rivalled any couture my friends have worn at their weddings. She took my "sash" I bought - changed it, converted it to a belt that went all the way around. Amazing and everyone couldn't believe how it changed the dress.

She also made me feel great about myself and not pulling at every angle or worrying about back fat and my arms etc - she made it flatter and fit my best attributes - and for all of you girls who are not super skinny - you know how scare it is to worry you will feel self conscious on your wedding day and I felt nothing but pride and comfort and ease.

other comments:

- She litterally remade all my suits after I lost allot of weight - they looked way better and taylored

- She remade a bridesmaid dress for me (pre weigh-loss) I had ordered a size too small - arrived in tears - she ordered me fabric from the store and saved the day

- She altered my husbands coat to look sleek and taylored - now he asks regularly "should Irene look at this blazer or suit"

Anyways, I just love her and on top of her talent, service, fair prices she is a lovely person. Her eyes actually filled with tears when she saw my wedding day picture because she knew I had been a bridesmaid way too many times, that she acheived making me feel and look amazing and that she was not just a seamstress but a extension of what made my day so special. I doubt many seamstresses care about their clients that much.

A+
