FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes. I have a base price for alterations services and build my quotes from there. I also have a base price for labor for dressmaking services and build a formal quote from there.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I schedule a one-on-one consultation at my studio. During the consultation, I take their measurements if this is a custom project. I provide a quotation. Once deposit is received, I begin work. NOTE: I DO NOT DO REPLICAS. That is stealing.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My mother taught me to sew when I was 12 years old. As a teenager, I did alterations for family members and sewed for myself. I also worked for a clothing manufacturer setting sleeves. As an adult in the choir, I made my outfits while others were out shopping each week. All the while, I provided alterations for friends, co-workers and others clients who came by word of mouth. I also provided alterations for proms and weddings.
