Vivian and her team are truly the best in the business. I’ve had multiple suits and pants made by them over the years, and every single piece has been exceptional, the fit, the quality, and the attention to detail are amazing. My last trip this week, Vivian came through for me on short notice to complete a full suit for a wedding I’m attending this weekend, and she absolutely delivered. Her professionalism, skill, and care for her clients are unmatched. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my tailoring. Highly recommend!
I’ve been going to Vivian and her team for a year now, and they are phenomenal. Professional, so diligent, and obviously extremely knowledgeable. I’ve gotten many pants hemmed, a pantsuit fully tailored, and a large pleather/sheepskin full length coat significantly altered - I had taken it to two other shops that told me it would be too difficult, but Vivian worked her magic. I always recommend her to my friends. Thanks Vivian and your team for all your work!
Vivian is an amazing tailor! My off-the-rack wedding dress was too big and required an incredibly meticulous hem due to intricate lace on the skirt. She pulled through and my dress fit perfectly! She was also happy to work with me on details like how tight I wanted the sleeves. I would highly recommend her!
Make sure you call nice and early to get an idea of what timeline is appropriate for your tailoring. Vivian is busy!
