Several local seamstresses had their business cards on display there. I asked the women who worked there which seamstress was the best, and they pointed me in the right direction Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-finding-a-tailor#post-830578 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 00:16:02 +0000 Freckles 830578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The best way is from someone whose wardrobe you admire. I asked at a high end store yesterday and they recommended a tailor who did an absolute horrid job on just shortening my husbands pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-finding-a-tailor#post-830552 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 23:26:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 830552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did what Isabel recommends, talked to the SA in a high-end department store. They suggested a great seamstress:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-finding-a-tailor#post-830326 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:55:31 +0000 Isabel 830326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to call local stores or boutiques and ask who they use or who they recommend. I found my shoe cobbler that way too. If you are in Atlanta, call a place like Nieman or Bloomie or a place like that...though little boutiques are great too. Good Luck !!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-finding-a-tailor#post-830298 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:09:30 +0000 Kristin L 830298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone. I found a cute dress in my closet that I think I'd wear more if it was a bit shorter. At this point, it's about 1-2 inches below my knee and makes me feel a bit matronly. This is a sewing job I don't think I can do myself because the dress is a jersey cotton and I'm not comfortable attempting on a fabric like that. So, I'm going to try to find a tailor here in town. What questions should I ask and what red flags should I look for when talking to different people? Thanks! </p>
