Introduction: I love designing clothing, creating something out of nothing. Being able to design something that you see someone wearing is a dream come true. I've always been designing, ever since I was little. When I got a little older I started to teach myself to sew...very badly I might admit. Eventually after lots of practice I was getting better. I ended up going to school at The University of North Texas for fashion design. I graduated Cum Laude (3.5 GPA) with a BFA in Fashion Design and BBA in Entrepreneurship. Ever since then I have been working with several different companies in the fashion industry learning and expanding my knowledge. I now enjoy creating custom designs for people. Turns out that saying is true for me: If you love what you do, you will never have to work a day in your life.

Everything about my experience was great. She was very professional and welcoming during the fitting. She was upfront from the beginning about pricing and was able to get my dress to me days before my event. She even went out of her normal schedule to make sure I could pickup my dress on time. It fits perfectly, by the way. I originally was just bothered by the length and knew I needed it hemmed but she suggested we take in the waist and it made a world of a difference. I would highly recommend Kala for your tailoring needs.

I was very impressed with Kala and how quickly I was able to schedule and get my dress hemming complete. Her prices are extremely reasonable, and she was able to complete my alteration in less than a week. Scheduling was simple and I would recommend to anyone in the area who needs a dress hemming!

I had my wedding dress taken in for a bridal photo reshoot. I needed someone who could do a quick, but seamless job. I dropped off my dress the day before I left for a 10 day vacation, and Kala had the dress done by the NEXT DAY! Obviously, I couldn't pick it up so she graciously hung onto it until I got back. When I tried it on, it was the perfect fit. I felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Kala is kind, professional, detail-oriented, and provides quality work. I HIGHLY recommend her services for anyone looking for alterations!

Kala is a fabulous taylor! I tested her skills with alterations of a formal gown, pants with weird hemlines, shorts that needed the legs tapered, and shirts that needed shortening. She completed all of the alterations perfectly and ahead of schedule. I am so happy to have found her!

I live in NYC and work in Dallas quite often. I brought along about 10 items to get tailored but was apprehensive as I wanted somebody that was dialed in to current fashion trends and fits to help me execute my needs for the alterations. From our consult, to the fitting, to the pickup/try-on … to say I am beyond pleased and grateful to the attention to detail and perfect execution would be a MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT. I will be bringing all of my tailoring to her when I travel into town because the level of service was top-knotch service. Highly recommend!
