Nora is amazing, she made me feel welcome the moment I walked in. The consultation was thorough and she's a master of her craft. Highly efficient and yet warm, welcoming and friendly. I recommend Nora if you need a suit altered in anyway.

I had never had to get something altered before and a lot of the places I tried calling were booked several weeks out. Nora was able to fit me in very quickly --after hours-- and was so lovely to me throughout the process. I was very pleased with the turnaround and the final product.
