Alterations, Custom Fashion Designer, Tailor, Seamstress — Local services in Bloomingdale

When I arrived for my bridesmaid dress pickup appointment, another customer was with Kristina. After waiting patiently for 15-20 minutes, I tried on my dress. It fit well, however, there were oil stains everywhere that were not present when I had dropped off the dress. Kristina insisted that the stains were caused by myself or other people whom had tried on the dress in store. I don't believe this is the case because I ordered online and took the dress out of the plastic bag twice - when it came in to try on and when I dropped it off for alterations. The stains were also in spots that would not have been touched by myself i.e. near seams and on the back of the dress. I was in a bit of a hurry at this point because my fiance was waiting in the car; we were driving straight from the tailor to a camping trip. I asked if I could get a discount on the alterations relative to the cost for a cleaner to remove the stains. Kristina insisted on spot cleaning the stains instead. Between waiting for other customers to be serviced, Kristina to take phone calls, and the actual cleaning of the dress - my fiance and I spent 1.5 hours waiting and arrived at our destination late. Kristina would not give me a discount to compensate for the inconvenience, because through it all she kept insisting the stains were my fault. Also - Kristina mentioned more than once that she didn't like customers waiting until the last minute. I dropped off the dress May 23 for a June 22 wedding. She reached out June 10 confirming the alterations were done, and I came in to pickup June 13 (note: Kristina was only available until 2 PM every day before then, and I have a full time job). She was going on vacation the following day through the date of the wedding ... so the only reason pickup/cleaning was a priority was due to her schedule. I felt disrespected being shamed for her limited...

My experience with Kristina, the talented seamstress, was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked into her studio, I was greeted with warmth and kindness. It's evident that she's deeply passionate about her craft, and her enthusiasm shines through in her work.

Kristina's professionalism was evident throughout the entire process. She was not only quick and efficient but also maintained a level of fun and enjoyment that made the experience memorable. This was my second visit to Kristina, and once again, she exceeded my expectations.

I brought in two prom dresses for alterations, and Kristina worked her magic on them. The results were absolutely amazing – the dresses fit perfectly and looked stunning. I was thoroughly impressed by her attention to detail and the quality of her workmanship.

Without hesitation, I highly recommend Kristina to anyone in need of alterations or custom sewing. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for what she does make her stand out among the rest. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to her studio. Thank you, Kristina, for your...

Kristina is just the best! She was such a life saver - I had held off on trying on my dress until about 6 weeks before the wedding just hoping it would end up fitting better than it did when I bought in in November. After going somewhere else that told me there was nothing they could do, Kristina was able to save the day. She got me in right away, took one look and assured me she could fix it, and finished everything so quickly. It turned out SO beautiful! If I didn't know what it looked like before, I would think that the dress was made this way. The dress was way too low cut for and she was able to add to the neckline that didn't change the shape of the dress and just looked perfect. She hemmed the bottom perfectly and added in perfect little loops so I could carry it off the ground. And so affordable!! I am so grateful for her. I plan to go back so she can make my dress into something I will wear again on a vacation! She is so talented and kind. Will be a returning customer for life! And so...
