| - I cannot say enough good things about this place. Anything I ever need altered again, I will bring here. I brought her a dress that is super cheaply made from a stretchy fabric. Even though it's cheaply made, I love it because of the flattering fit and pretty fabric design. Not long after I bought it, the elastic that holds the bodice together (& which allows the dress to taper at the waist) started to unravel. So it stayed in my closet for 1.5 years while I looked at it longingly, wishing I could wear it but not risking further deterioration of the dress. All I could find were crappy dry cleaning places who said they did alternations too. I didn't trust them. Finally I found Kim's Tailoring and she was leery, telling me that the fabric was colored AFTER it was sewed and so if she made repairs, the elastic she would need to use would show up rather obviously. I asked her to do it anyway because the alternative was to get rid of the dress. She also told me that the fabric of the dress, being synthetic and not woven, was prone to tears and was very difficult to sew especially as a repair. Still, I told her to go ahead. She said okay but no guarantees. I was SO HAPPY when I picked the dress up. It looked fantastic, and not only did she repair it, she reinforced the whole bodice and waist. The best money I ever spent. She's my tailor/seamstress FROM NOW ON!!!
