I first contacted Nelly (who came highly referred from an expert seamstress down in La Jolla) to repair and almost redesign a Michael Kors signature piece dress that another alterationist felt was too complicated.

Everything she touches looks like it was made for me uniquely and fits perfectly .. she is out of this world incredible!
