Elisha did a wonderful job tailoring many dresses for me that were too large and needed to be taken in. Several dresses had complex embroidery and pockets; she had great suggestions on how to tailor them without losing the features of the design.
Communication was timely and clear; pricing was fair for the work done. Very pleased!

Elisha did an exceptional job with alternating my daughter’s prom dress, she also add some special embroidery (hand sewn) to the dress that made it pop!

If you need a tailor, this is your person — absolutely phenomenal.
I had a last-minute wedding emergency after being turned away by multiple tailors. I found her on Google, my husband called, and she came to my home the same day and completed the alterations in under an hour.
The fit was perfect, the workmanship flawless, and her professionalism and kindness in a high-stress moment meant everything. She calmly handled the situation with incredible skill and efficiency and truly saved the day.
A rare gem. Highly recommend — don’t hesitate.
