I also need a place for alterations in NYC. Do you know where Kiki is located? I'm thinking of using Ellen Canali on the UWS, she is recommended by NYMag and I've gotten regular dresses hemmed there and they turned out nice. But I can't find much online about her. Anyone know anything about her? Thanks!
She is on UES - 6 E 74th Street. I can't really find too much info about Kiki either ( other than that she's been doing it for some 15yrs and is expensive - not sure what exactly that means)
Kiki shares a space with J. Scheer. And yes, she is shrouded in mystery. I used her to alter my sample size 10 or so dress down to a size 4 and she did a great job. The fabric was incredibly delicate and I don't think just anyone could have done it. The only thing is Kiki is incredibly expensive - she charged $1000 which I am now finding is 2-3 times what it normally costs to alter a dress. We had 3 or so fittings total. She likes to chat during the fittings and mentioned that she used to work with Vera Wang when Vera started, before she became famous. I am not sure if that experience is worth the extra $500-700 or something I ended up paying, but at the time I didn't know any better! Kiki tends to work with very wealthy clients and even accompanies them during the wedding to make sure everything looks right. I did not do this and have no idea how much that costs. She is fabulous but comes with a hefty price tag.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I bought my dress as sample and need to have it altered (not much, might need to have a dress hemmed but maybe not even that since I am 5'9" and wearing heels, bustle, build cups into a gown and small nip and tuck to make sure it fits well ).
J. Scheer&Co. who cleaned my dress suggested Kiki Hronis. Anybody used her ? How is she price-wise ? I would rather pay a bit more than have my dress ruined but don't want to overpay for no good reason. thank you for help.
