For more than two years I have enjoyed the exquisite tailoring and attention to detail that Vilinda McGregor has provided for my 20+ alteration requests. When I found out she would be moving on to Sew Amazing (now Amazing Tailoring and Alterations), I was more than happy to follow her there.
Vilinda is a delight to work with and has done a variety of work for me from hemming bias cut silk skirts that drape more beautifully than when I bought them, to custom fitting dresses and paneled lace tops from designers such as Jacquemus and Michael Kors Collection. She even shortened a pair of AREA jeans, with open cut-out hearts that ran down the full length of each leg, and the end result was almost indistinguishable from the original! I can’t get over the quality of her work and would never trust anyone else with these pieces!
I am very petite and small & straight framed so most everything I buy is too long and too large in the bust and the hips. I have been using tailors to attempt to improve the fit of my clothing for over 30 years and have never worked with anyone as accomplished as Vilinda. She is an unbelievably skilled seamstress, but just as important, she takes time to listen to what I want my finished garment to look like. I never feel rushed and she is very easy to talk to.
Vilinda uses her knowledge of fit and proportion coupled with style sense to make suggestions, but always gives me what I request. However, more often than not, I’ll ask for what I think needs to be done to a piece, but Vilinda’s recommendations are on point and give me exactly what I need but wasn’t able to fully articulate. She is truly a gifted individual who is a joy to work with, and I am so grateful to have found her!
