Tailors Atelier

y fell in love with, but everyone there is so skilled and amazing and also just wonderful I can't believe such a gem of a place exists. Before finding Tailors Atelier I had to rescue my wedding dress from Sew Elegant after the seamstress there spent less than 5 minutes with me for my wedding dress fitting, and dismissed my concerns and thoughts saying "trust me.. don't worry" and also said she likely couldn't tailor the organza part of my dress properly, but that it would be "ok." I was offered only one more fitting after that initial fitting, and the date they offered was like a week before the wedding. I left that appointment feeling so uneasy that I had my sister go back and get the dress so I could find a tailor that would give a damn. I can't believe I got so lucky with Tailors Atelier!! Turns out my dress from Lovely Bride was very poorly made and a real challenge to alter after all, but I was relieved when Nigel, who is so talented (not to mention fun!!) began working on the dress and then had Sana join him because it was so complicated, and together they worked on my dress during that first fitting for over an hour. They were basically figuring out how to restructure it to make it work. The simple fact that they were spending the time and scrutinizing it so intensely put me at ease and I knew right then that I had found the dream tailors! They really care about their work and their clients. Over the next several months leading up to the wedding Sana worked such incredible magic on my dress it was truly a remarkable transformation!! She is a miracle worker. So the work that they do there is unparalleled, but also the feeling of the shop is also just unique and special. After that first fitting I began to feel like family there: i was always excited to see Natasha and give her a big hug and catch up on how plans are going, she became a genuine friend; Nigel and I sang a jazzy duet one day, to the great delight of my mother; I was offered as many fittings as I needed, and Sana spent fitting after fitting with me getting it just right, and my great joy was seeing her sweet, smiley satisfaction when the challenging work she'd done paid off; they let me float around the small shop admiring myself and playing with my hair and jewelry when I didn't want to take the dress off. On the big day my dress fit like an absolute glove, it was perfect!! This place is warm, unpretentious, relaxed, and personal, and the people are as wonderful as they are talented. I can't say enough good things, it really doesn't get better than Tailors Atelier!
