Thanks to Yelp reviews, I found my go-to tailor. I have tried several in Henderson near my home but all have fallen flat by either being overpriced, mediocre work or cheap, quick fixes (not an option for people who value their clothes). Several years ago I purchased a beautiful teal wool coat and made the mistake of taking it to Phuong's Tailoring and Alterations to shorten the sleeves. They over-shortened them leaving the lining long hanging down past the sleeves! I felt helpless and chose to not confront them due to the extreme language barrier. So, I stuck the coat deep in a closet not wanting to think about what to do next. (Iwas leaning towards donating it to Goodwill.)
Then earlier this month I pulled it out from the depths of my closet and decided that with the help of Yelp I'll find another tailor that could perhaps fix Phuong's shoddy work. (Donating it was what I thought was still going to happen.)
Enter Larissa. She saved the coat and did an absolutely beautiful job!! I'm in love with the coat once again. I ended up searching for a tailor near my work and found this wonderful lady who really loves and cares about her work. Her little shop is the real deal with a staging area surrounded by mirrors for fittings. A far cry from the chaotic, disorganized mess at Phuong's.
