I purchased a bridesmaid's dress from the internet and when it arrived I needed to have it adjusted (hem taken up and the chiffon layer released from the side seams). I rang another dressmaker who got a good rating on WOMO and was dismayed to hear a phone quote on the hem alone of about $150 (more than the whole dress!). Helena was lovely on the phone and in person - understanding and good humoured - and not only completed the adjustment within 2 or 3 business days for half the phone quote of the other dressmaker, but was also honest about the alterations she thought didn't really need to be done (taking in the dress around the bust). I am extremely grateful to Helena for her expertise and service and will happily give her my business in the future.

Approximate cost: $75
