I LOVE Eliza. I've gotten 3 cocktail dresses, a pair of jeans, a jacket and two -yes two- wedding dresses altered with her. Each item is flawless now. She is so knowledgeable and will assess each garment based on its structure and fabric before she starts making changes. She explains all of her recommendations in depth and I always feel like I've learned something. She has truly taken some garments that I thought were unwearable to ones I've gotten MAJOR compliments on. And she absolutely saved my big day- I ordered a wedding dress online and, what a surprise, it didn't

I have seen Eliza for alterations three times over the last several years, and will never go to anyone else if I can help it. I just recently needed a dress altered on a Monday for a wedding that coming Saturday. No other business I spoke with could handle this turnaround time. Eliza had me bring in the dress on Tuesday, and it was ready on Thursday. Her work was meticulous and extremely affordable. She did a beautiful job, saved my dress, and is also an absolute gem of a person whom I enjoyed chatting with. She also totally hyped me up when I tried the dress on. Thank you, Eliza!!!

Eliza is a gem! She helped to alter my daughter's formal dress, and it came out perfectly. She is professional and sweet, and she clearly has a great deal of experience. All her suggestions were on point. Would not hesitate to work with her again!!

I was a huge procrastinator when it came to altering my wedding dress. Eliza was super accommodating and finished my dress in 2 weeks! Plus her prices were sooooo insanely reasonable. Everywhere I went, I was quoted at least $600 and up, but she did it all for less than $400 and the fit was amazing.

DIVINE work! Eliza was so quick to respond to my call(s) and explained the level of the work she would have to do. She practiced extremely appropriate protocol given COVID-19 and works with clients by appointment. I had three dresses that needed altering (missing/broken zippers and seams) and she fixed them within hours! Very clean and cute space, and she even gave me a free mask! I can now calmly and comfortably attend a wedding this weekend, thanks to this life-saver!
