I first met Rina when she was altering my bridesmaids dress for my sisters wedding - almost 3 years later, we went back to her to alter my wedding dress...
I bought my wedding dress at David's Bridal, but it wasn't quite what I was looking f...or - I wanted something that fit better {obviously} but also looked more vintage {sweetheart top}
Rina is so meticulous in the way she alters - asking questions about comfort & fit.. she really takes her time with you, measuring & pinning & re-measuring & re-pinning to ensure she gets it right.
Now, meticulousness & perfection come with a price tag - but I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to tailor this dress exactly the way I wanted.
I also bought a handmade shawl from her - it is made in Italy by her mother... a good thing I bought it since it turned out to be freezing that night! The shawl is gorgeous & I will certainly wear it again.
