I used Silhouettes and Profiles to help fix my mothers wedding dress that I am wearing for my wedding in September. The dress came out of preservation with large brown stains in several focal points. The stains (luckily) were on satin panels rather than the lace part of the dress. I took the dress to two other alteration places to see how much it would be to get the stained panels replaced. Both of the estimates were over $1000. One place even told me I could go to the garmet district and find the correct fabric and they would replace it! Silhouettes replaced my panels (and did a beautiful job with amazing attention to detail) for literally a fraction of the price. \r

I also had them fix a Herve Leger dress for an engagement party that needed some major help. It was too big under the arms, the straps were too long and there was a hole in one of the seams. The dress came back perfect a week later! I got so many compliments on it. \r

I live downtown, but from now on I will take the trip to the Upper West Side to have these VERY talented women save my clothes! You would be making a huge mistake not to come here--for everything from wedding dresses to simple alterations.
Pros: Friendly, affordable, quick (do you need anymore?)
Cons: NONE!
