She hems my pants and put tucks in the waistbands of my skirts and pants. When I was suit shopping, I would take my suits to a real tailor for alterations. The only tailoring experience I've had since living here was the shortening of a bridesmaid dress. I'm interested to see how the bridal shop will tailor my wedding dress BUT when I ordered it, it appeared that the only tailoring I need would be in length. I've lost 4 lbs since then though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136462 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 14:06:19 +0000 Isabel 136462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY !!! Isn't that the most wonderful thing ! These people really are artists and we are losing them because of all the "ready to wear" that really isn't all that "ready".</p> <p>I think that it was Diana Vreeland who once said that if she were stuck on a desert island, the one thing that she would bring would be her shoe repair man !!! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136450 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 12:32:57 +0000 Tricia 136450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure Marianna, I'll take some pictures later this morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136385 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 05:11:42 +0000 cciele 136385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, lucky girl. My current tailor is only good for hemming. I need someone who I can trust with other alterations!</p> <p>And Yelp is awesome! You can find the best places there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136341 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:06:05 +0000 taylor 136341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my tailor too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136336 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:02:57 +0000 marianna 136336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, go to <a href="http://www.yelp.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.yelp.com</a>. It's an AMAZING website full of reviews of local businesses.</p> <p>I need a pair of wide leg pants made "less wide" too... can we see pics of how yours' turned out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136333 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:00:34 +0000 yublocka 136333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting Tricia! Can you share before and after pics with us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136289 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 02:19:55 +0000 Maya 136289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have, but it's sort of ironic. I check Yelp for where I live in NJ and nothing comes up. Then I check Yelp for where I work in NYC, and there are so many results and reviews it's overwhelming!</p> <p>San, the best way to find out what Yelp is is to go on the website and find out It's basically the Yellow pages with reviews... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136288 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 02:16:27 +0000 Anonymous 136288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is YELP? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136286 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 02:13:39 +0000 Tricia 136286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found him on Yelp, actually - he got great reviews. Have you looked at any reviews there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136274 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:46:16 +0000 Maya 136274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucky you! I haven't found a tailor I really love so far. It sounds like you are getting a lot of fabulous "new" pieces out of this tailor, so hooray! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-heart-my-tailor#post-136271 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:29:15 +0000 Tricia 136271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had to say that. I picked up a huge pile of stuff from him today and he worked magic. My microcheck pants were shortened and the lower legs tapered, he shortened some dresses and made the sleeves on one of them a little less fluttery, he shortened a Sweet Pea top so I could wear it with a skirt, and he turned two pairs of iffy capris into fab clamdiggers. </p> <p>I think I'm his most frequent customer right now. This is at least the third time lately I've brought him a giant haul, and I have another "to-be-tailored" pile starting in my closet. He's worth his weight in gold. </p>
