I’m a petite person, so most clothing I buy needs a bit of tailoring to fit properly. I also wear a ton of vintage which always needs to be reworked to some degree, and I never have any time to go travel to have this work done. I’ve been using Tim the Tailor for many years, because he does impeccable work, and he does it efficiently. He comes to the house so you are able to be in your own space (with your shoes etc), even at night after the kids are asleep, and he brings my pieces back within the week. A real time saver!
