Dena tailored a dress shirt that was too big for me in the arms - looks totally fly now. & took in a pair of heavy Levi’s that for some reason (hey I’m a guy) I bought 3” too long & looked really stupid cuffed - they now fit perfectly! She’s friendly, helpful, considerate, does her work promptly, at a fair price. I’ll be back for sure!!
Dena saved my wedding, and my dress! She's a highly skilled seamstress who has the vision to see and explore possibilities outside the seams. I HIGHLY recommend. Another alterations person did a botch job on my wedding dress; with only two weeks until the big day, it was recommended by a second alterations person to buy another because fixing would be too big of a job, and maybe not possible. But not by Dena; Dena had the vision and confidence that she could fix my dress in time.She completely reconstructed the lace arms (adding extra fabric to a complicated lace pattern) and bodice/under-layer of my dress; I could lift my arms and my boobs didn't float like weird islands! She also saw that the bustle had been unevenly sewn and fixed with ease.If you're in a time crunch, do recommend proactively following up with Dena as she's a busy lady and things can move + shift in her day; a simple call in the morning to check-in did the trick for me![photo credits: @adrianewhitephotography]
Great eye for detail- dena doesn’t miss a thing! She’s altered dresses; overcoats; trousers; my wedding dress; my dress shirts- there’s nothing I wouldn’t have her make or alter.
