Outstanding professional

by DHK

Angelica has made a wedding dress from scratch for me, which was beautiful. She has made wonderful curtians for my gold coast condo, duvet cover & pillows all of which my husband and I love. She is in the process of making three pairs of dress pants for me all of which are fully lined and beautiful. I could never find slacks like this in a store and to fit perfectly. She is creative and loves to make other items than wedding dresses. All of my girlfriends who've used her also sing her praises.

Hard working, kind, timely and trys to keep everyone on target with details and manage expectations.

I love her!

• Pros: She is a perfectionist
• Cons: parking

Wow, I was so impressed

by citygirl2go

I was with a friend when she had the most gorgeous wedding dress made here, the attention to detail was extremely impressive. French seams, and bead work, she bought charmeus and Alencon lace and they made a detailed but simple jacket for her. It was stunning. Anywhere else it would have been $5000 dollars retail. the entire cost with fabric (not from LaModista) was $1200!

So now it is my turn, but I am mother of the groom. I am having them make a coat and dress that I saw at an upscale department store which was about $3000. So they are making it for me, measuring me for it and I will report back on the final dress. I have been and expect to be very please with their incrdible services.

• Pros: Very good at what they do
• Cons: Very busy and limited to the customers they take on.

Nice Job...so far

by nmf

There is certainly nothing fancy about this place and they are not the most conversational of people but they do good work and are friendly enough. I think there is a bit of a language /custom barrier and can see how some people think the staff comes across as unfriendly or rude but if you take the time to talk to them, they are pretty nice. I think the price is much more decent than the rest of the places I called in the city and am glad I found them. Otherwise I would have been stuck driving out to the burbs.

My final fitting is this Friday and will update this if the experience turns sour. The past two times I have been there have been fine.

• Pros: Good price for the city, fairly easy street parking, no nonsense
• Cons: Difficult to find at first- it blends in with the rest of the streetscape
