I needed extensive work on an old west saloon girl ensemble. It was two sizes to big and about 10 inches to long. She hemmed and narrowed the skirt, tightened the bodice (boning) and breast and adjusted the straps. She did it all in less than a week. It was a little spendy because of the material and amount of work but she is well worth it. I have many other events where I'll be wearing victorian era western wear and I'll go back to her for whatever I need. She doesn't charge extra for having to hem from the top because of ruffles and lace on the bottom.
