Cannot recommend Vivian enough. Especially for anything bridal! She was very patient, particular and precise during the alterations process and I’m thoroughly impressed. Excited to use this spot as my tailor for years to come
Vivian was an absolute lifesaver in the lead-up to my wedding. After my original dress was damaged, she did everything she could to try to save it. When it became clear I needed to go with a second option, she quickly altered my new dress and made sure it was ready in time for the big day.

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!
