| - Having just gotten engaged March 23rd 2015 and decided to get married in Italy that May, I was definitely under the gun to find a dress, let alone get it altered.
After finding my dress in what was nothing short of a miracle, I hurriedly scoured Yelp for alterations. By the time I found my dress it was already the first week of April; my fiance and I leave for Italy on May 14th, so time is of the essence. After finding Jenny and reading her glowing reviews, I was confident that she would be able to help me!
I made an appointment right after I had received my dress, which was the second week of April. I should have gone to play the lottery afterward because it turned out I would be her last job before she went on vacation for two weeks! Talk about lucky.
Getting fitted itself, was a pleasure and she was so friendly and professional. She did way more to my dress than I thought was originally needed (of course, I lack seamstress skills), but boy, am I glad she is amazing at her job. She pinned and tucked and lifted everywhere. She added a corset and a hook/latch strap to keep the dress tight around my waist. Shortening the dress was a must, being 5'3", I was practically drowning in the dress as it was. Along the way, she was informing me of what she was doing and why; she'd have to open up the dress to add the corset boning and refold/tuck the tulle overlay.
Jenny made this somewhat time-crunched and stressful time a joy and we had so much fun. She gave me a done-by date of April 16th, and I was completely amazed and impressed by how she completely redid the dress and "fixed" it so it looked like it was custom made for me. Trying it on was night and day to how it was before; she made it look like a million bucks.
Thankfully this dress traveled incredibly well, and held up through 2 flights one-way spanning 20 hours and spending 12 days on a cruise ship. We got married in Venice on May 29th, and the dress didn't need any steaming whatsoever. It looked as fresh as it did when I picked it up from Jenny. I just want to thank Jenny from the bottom of my heart for doing one heck of a job and making the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. The quality speaks for itself and I will absolutely be using her again for any future alterations.
Thank you Jenny, you are incredible!
