  Sophie S. asked:

  Has anyone had a wedding gown or other formal dress custom made and if so who do you recommend as a seamstress?

  

  Katarina R. replied:

  Sophie, if I were to have one made, I would entrust Jean at the Elim Boutique in Rosslyn, VA 703-312-9090. She is a professionally trained seamstress and designer with many years of experience with intimate knowledge of the art of working with particular fabric. I had my silk and chiffon ball gowns expertly altered and repaired by her over the years. And since Jean is also a designer, she can assist in creating your dream wedding gown. For your appointment with her bring pictures of wedding gowns you like. I am also confident that she can also rework a ready-to-wear gown if you find one you may like and transform it in such as way as to give it a couture feel and look. Hope this helps.

  Mary H. asked:

  Dear Neighbors, I am transitioning from the military to civilian life, which means I can now have a wardrobe beyond uniforms! I have some new clothes (suits, dresses) that need to be altered. Does anyone have a recommendation for a seamstress or tailor who can make these alterations? Do you know anyone who would be willing to come to my house to take care of this? Any and all suggestions are welcomed and appreciated! Thanks! Mary Beth
