The only place to go for quality every time. My wife would not use anyone else as Effie has amazing talent to assess and deliver excellent results. I have had a few items altered and have the same view. If you want done properly and expertly dont go elsewhere. We travel from Nth Ryde to visit. You may offer alterations but never alter the quality. Thank you Effie and your team for the many years of help.

I had my Size 14 dress altered to Size 16 for my son's wedding. Effie had the silk, organza & velvet to work this miracle. I booked an initial appointment & had 2 fitting appointments + a 3rd for the final try on. I was extremely happy with the results & will definitely use Effie's services again.

Effie did a wonderful job turning this beautiful Thai silk into a lovely dress. She was very sweet and listened to Elsa and her concerns. Thanks Effie!

Effie made many adjustments to my daughter's formal dress for her school formal including taking it up, taking it in, and sewing a bodysuit with built-in bra into it, so that the underwear never moved or showed. My daughter did not have to fiddle or fuss or adjust herself once, all night. I found Effie to be professional, capable, thorough and quick. We will definitely use her again.
