I had a great experience with Augusta. I had a couple of pieces of clothing altered and he did an excellent job. The work was also very reasonably priced. I'll definitely use Augusta for future alterations!

Augustus was a pleasure to work with. He customized an off the rack dress for me when I wasn't able to have a custom one made. He was able to work around my schedule and made the process very easy. I appreciate his work and professionalism.

Augusta was great. Contacted him via text message at 7:30 am and he was able to tailor two dress shirts for me by 10 am and the work was amazing. Price was $50 for the two dress shirts!

I had him embroider several crosses for robes. He did an excellent job. The embroidery was crisp and clean. It actually looks better than what the papal tailor in Rome produces! He's very reasonably priced and stands behind his work. You couldn't get more perfect.
