This was my first time getting a bridesmaids dress altered separately from the store I bought it from and Laurie did a great job walking me through it and giving feedback on what I did and did not need. I thought I might need the straps shortened and she explained it probably wasn't worth it since it was so close already. She hemmed the double layered bottom of dress and the result looks amazing. The price was in line with (actually maybe cheaper) what I paid at David's Bridal for hemming on another dress. Plus her turnaround time was only a week and much faster than the alterations the other bridesmaids got! Laurie's work area is a super cute converted foyer in a house. The area is residential and it's very easy to find street parking. Masks were always on for both of us and it felt very safe. In the end very satisfied and I will go to Laurie for anything else I need!

Laurie tailors using original hem!!! I took some new jeans to get hemmed specifically for the original hem as not all tailors do this. But Laurie does! Make sure you specify that you want original hem otherwise she doesn't do it. (Odd who wouldn't want original hem?) taking my jeans to Laurie from now on!

Laurie did a wonderful job on a project to reduce the width of my new Ballard Designs queen flat sheet. Apparently, companies are making sheets wider to accommodate deeper mattresses. Unfortunately, the sheet was hanging out significantly below the duvet comforter on both the left and right sides. Laurie was gracious and offered to do the job of zipping it down one side for a very reasonable price. I just picked up the sheet this morning (she did it with a day turn around which was also impressive) and the quality is fantastic. You cannot tell which side she did and which side was original. She is precise in her work and I am grateful to have found someone who does this level of tailoring. I will continue to call her for future projects.
