Ileana was wonderful. When I first saw the website I was a little intimidated as it seemed to be a very coture boutique and I am a plus sized woman. I also thought she only did custom gowns. I was wrong on all counts. I bought my dress in the US and asked Ileana to do the alterations for me. When I first arrived at her studio I was very confused. It is in her home, not at all what I expected. In any case she did a wonderful job. She was tremendously accomadating and worked faster than I expected. Her prices were also very very reasonable.
