Great place, it seems like it’s one of the few alteration studios that take measurements down in Portland, too. I came in with a long list of intense measurements for a Kurta for a trip to India. They were able to do this without hesitation. Very polite.

Five Foot Four. Too tall for Petite; too short for Regular. This means every pair of pants and jeans I buy takes a trip to the master hemmer first. Annoying, yet necessary. Recently my go-to gal went back to the Old Country — I will miss her clipped Austrian accent and odd Euro slurs(to my thighs she once complained, «Tsk. You must be Bavarian.»). So I returned to an old downtown stand-by: the Gien family tailors. They do excellent work, quickly, and are very friendly. They probably talk about my thighs too, but not when I’m there. Prices are a tad higher($ 14/hem) than I’m used to and they don’t take debit or credit cards, but it’s worth it. I mean, what? I should learn to sew?
