Testimonials.

  • "Joanna is a miracle worker. I came in a week before an event as I bought a second hand dress very last minute. I needed the hem taken up and a few buttons repaired. Joanna was enthusiastic and did a fantastic job. The dress was covered in beading and Joanna was able to shorten the hem and re- bead the dress perfectly in just 4 days! Highly recommend Joanna! EDIT: (a year later!) I am a repeat customer! I brought in another gorgeous beaded dress that was way too small! Joanna was very crafty and was able to work a miracle to make a beautiful dress even more unique! So skillfull and very grateful for her speedy and amazing service!"

Always a Fast service and Accommodating .. Today, I've dropped my Beige pants. She gave me a week. Then, I realised I need it for the weekend. Called Joanna and asked to expedite. She said, the Pant will be ready Following day at NO extra charge, despite her Busy workload . . Very Happy with the Service"
