Beatrice was absolutely wonderful!! I went to her in the past with a bridesmaids dress that needed small alterations and she was upfront and honest about her quality of work (high) which leads to higher prices than you will see at places who do less quality work. I decided to go somewhere cheaper at the time since I didn't need much alteration done to the dress. Almost a year went by and here I was getting married myself! I had my mother's wedding gown (32 years old at the time), and I needed someone to alter it and take good care of it (very fragile fabric!). I knew exactly who to go to. \r

Beatrice gave me a free consultation where she discussed options for the dress and cost. She gave me one flat fee for all of the work and promised to do whatever it took to make my dress look the way I want it for that flat fee. She also threw in the updating of my mom's veil and did a LOVELY job on it! She worked with me allowing me to make small payments throughout the process and stuck to her flat fee that she intially quoted.\r

I had no idea how I wanted to alter the dress, but I knew I wanted it more modern but to still look like my mom's dress. She gave me a lot of great ideas that she came up with on her own. Then she would make a small change, have me come see what I think, decide the next change, make the change, have me come see what I think, etc.... So I was an integral part of the process and got to see it along the way to be sure I liked where she was going with it. Of course I did!! \r

Her attention to detail was amazing too! She took care of every little tear or snag on the dress and it looked brand new when she was done! \r

I showed the dress to my mom and she immediately wanted to call or write Beatrice to let her know what a GREAT job she did on her dress! I can now say I was happily married on June 12 in the dress and I got rave reviews on the dress all day long.\r

Thank you, Beatrice!
