She sounds amazing. It's finding someone like her who is honest. Too many over promise and under deliver sadly.I have a Japanese seamstress I rely on exclusively for alterations.
She specializes in weddings but takes care of other issues outside that.
No beating around the bush, she will speak her mind openly and forcefully.
I have learned to listen. She is always right.
I inherited my Father's Harris Tweed sport coat and thought I should have some alterations done. After putting it on and modeling it for her she told me to leave it alone, and don't mess with something that already fits acceptably well that would waste money to do little.
The sport coat I was wearing when I went it she went over and kept for some minor changes. I wasn't expecting that.
The story is, get someone you can trust and is competent.
She will tug at my pants waist when I go in and say "you lost weight" or "do not fasten that belt so tight", Things like that. "Get different belt" was my favorite quote from her. It was seconds after I opened her door.
Get someone you can trust and is looking out for you.
For most of us, OTR works fine if you, or someone you trust, has a good eye for the fit.
