FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is based on how much work is involved for each project. It's also very important to account for time to complete your project. Tailoring usually takes 1-3 weeks however smaller jobs can take less time. Custom design usually takes at least 3-4 months however again smaller jobs can take less time.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before any work is done I have an appointment scheduled for every client new or returning. The reason for this is to give one on one time with my clients so we can go over projects, or see the garment that needs to be worked on, do a fitting, and run through ideas or suggestions on what I can do for the client. I like my clients to feel open and comfortable and have my full undivided attention.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from El Centro Community College with a degree in Fashion Design. There I sharpened my skills and learned to pattern draft. I've been sewing and designing clothing since 2014 and I've also worked at a bridal salon where I Iearned how to do bridal alterations and also gained even more knowledge on garment construction. I'm also involved with the sewing community here in Dallas and I have worked on several projects since moving to here.
