Love love love the seamstress!!! Highest quality work and she knows everything there is to know about clothes should fit and look. She has never been shy about providing feedback on the quality style or fit of a garment be it a dress or a suit or jacket. I have bought items that I love but just didn’t fit right and stopped in for a consult to see if she could make it work. And she has — on some of my most exquisite pieces. I even bring my daughters, one who lives in the north shore Chicago suburbs and the other in Minneapolis, to have their pieces tailored. It’s worth the trip when you have someone you can totally trust with your wardrobe and your look! Like magic!!! I am a regular and will be forever.
