Custom Tailoring in Washington DC Trusted

Jeanhee is incredible; she is so talented and provides amazing work and results. She altered my wedding dress, she’s completely reworked jackets and added zippers to them that other seamstresses had deemed “unfixable”, and she’s a pro at sewing buttons on vintage leather jackets! I live in DC and will gladly make the trek to Arlington for her. She and her team are the only people I trust to repair or alter my clothes.

I have been a client of Jeanhee for more than a decade. Her work is amazing! She has miracle hands. I had a strapless gown with a stole that she transformed into a beautiful jacket. I just picked up a two piece ensemble that had a stubborn stain in the front. I was crushed until I took it to Jeanhee. She redesigned the jacket and took pieces from the sleeves to creatively hide any evidence of the stain on the front of my dress. My dress & jacket are beautiful and I can't wait to wear them! Jeanhee is a wonderful, gifted and talented artisan! She has my highest recommendation! Barbara

Jeanhee did a wonderful job altering 3 formal dresses for me, including one silk dress, one metallic brocade dress, and one metallic jacquard dress. It was very important to me that I find someone who could do extensive alterations and hemming on formal dress fabrics, and she got it right! We had a couple fittings each for all three dresses, since it required several stages of alterations. Jeanhee is very pleasant, and the turnaround time was fast. She listened and worked with me to produce just the results I wanted. I highly recommend Jeanhee and Elim Boutique.

I must know - is this shop named to acknowledge a fondness of Star Trek?

Jeanhee is fantastic at what she does. She works quickly, but the results are always beautiful. She had hemmed bridesmaids dresses for me in the past, so when it came time for my wedding dress and after-party dress, I knew I wanted to go back to her. She did an amazing job with the bustle on my wedding dress—it lasted all night without breaking. My after-party dress was heavily beaded, and she was able to adjust the neckline so it fit me perfectly. We also had a rental suit for my husband’s wedding attire and needed last-minute alterations to shorten the sleeves and hem the pants. She handled it with no problem and had everything ready just a few days later. She is incredibly talented, reliable, and efficient. She’s amazing—do not hesitate to go here!
