Jonah was amazing! I brought him a vintage 100% silk Victoria’s Secret dress after another tailor had ruined the fit and caused puckering in the seams. He immediately knew what went wrong and fixed it perfectly. The dress now fits beautifully, the puckering is gone, and it hugs me exactly how I wanted. He’s professional, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about his work. He paid such close attention to every detail and made sure I was completely satisfied, he even took the time to explain how the other tailor messed the dress up and how he could fix it for me, he really knows his way around silk/ delicate fabrics, Highly recommend!

Jonah is so talented and fun to work with. He helped turn my vision into a pattern and then into a garment! It’s gorgeous, the attention to detail is amazing, and he really knows his stuff when it comes to fabric and sewing. He’s an incredibly talented seamster, and I would highly recommend him!

Jonah is completely reliable and communicative. His work with the pattern/project he was provided was exact, neat, and flawless. Would 100% hire him to work on any garment and in a tight time frame.

Jonah was very accommodating, very professional! I loved how he offered suggestions/ideas and listened to my concerns. I had my gold gown hemmed at a very reasonable price, not outrageous. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and most likely will ask his help again in the future.

I am new to this app, so my cost will start low. Once I’m more reputable here, my cost will go up to match my quality of work!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Discuss needs and time constraints. Then meet in person, take measurements. Go home, alter, and return the finished garment!

Fashion design school. I also currently work for a high end tailor doing alterations.
