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.

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!

Very quick turnaround time! My daughter needed some alterations to her homecoming dress the week of the event.....Quality work provided by a quality individual (Augusta). He took the time to meet with us and understand our alteration needs. The alteration resulted in my daughter having a dress that fit her beautifully and comfortably.

I originally was going to have my dress bustled by someone else but they had to cancel last minute. My wedding was in about a week so I needed someone fast. Babadamilola said he would drive all the way to my place in Lakeview East and get it done over the weekend. Babadamilola was professional, explained what he was going to do to my dress very well, and he was so polite and easy to talk to. The weekend passed, he drove the dress back to my apartment, made sure I wore the dress to see if the bustle looked good, it did, and he was on his way. A fast worker who knows what he's doing. I am so glad I went with Mr. Balogun. Thank you!
