Sorel B.
Teri was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad for it. I was in a hurry to find a seamstress who could hem my dress, especially with my prom being two weeks away at the time. Teri is so quick and timely and got my dress done in a week, even with the amount of prom dresses she also had to get through. She’s aware of her workload, what she can get done, and understands the importance of an event and the date it’s needed by. I could not be happier with the length and the hem itself is very professional and clean.
