Sew Chic By Yelena - Expert Seamstress & Clothing Alterations — Local services in Kingston

Yelena is a sewing and design magician! From the moment I shared my ideas with her, I knew my wedding dreams were in capable hands. With patience and understanding, she listened to every detail of my vision, shared some of her own incredible insight, and turned it into reality. My wedding dress was a masterpiece, tailored to perfection and whimsical just like I dreamed it'd be.

Not only did she create my own wedding gown, but she also worked her magic on my bridesmaids' dresses, ensuring each one was as unique and beautiful as the bridesmaids themselves. She worked with each girl individually to captured exactly what they wanted and felt comfortable in, while cohesively fitting into my wedding theme.

Yelena’s talent is UNMATCHED. She altered my sister’s pageant gowns for years, sometimes individually hand-sewing thousands of beads. She can pull in the waist (no matter how thick the material), lengthen or shorten straps, add appliqués, and hem anything. She altered a prom gown for me in high school. Recently, she altered the straps of my wedding gown, added a bustle, and hemmed it. She hand stitched sequins all around my bridal veil and sewed a metal comb hairpiece to the top of the veil. She hemmed my mom’s mother of the bride gown for both mine and my sister’s weddings. We HIGHLY recommend and are so sad she’s moving!...

Yelena is very friendly, knowledgably and is so talented at her craft. My daughter has also had work preformed by Yelena. I was amazed at what Yelena could do. My daughter had lost so much weight in between her wedding dress being ordered and the time it came in. Yelena totally reconstructed the dress and it came out perfect. Yelena also altered a fully beaded dress for my daughter. I highly...
