Ruth is really professional and very good at creative alterations. I bought a dress from the internet that was supposed to be custom made to my size for me. They were close, but did a rather poor job on the general cut and lay out of the dress. It least it was a little too big, so we could take it all in properly. Ruth was so funny critiquing their fast and not so perfect work. She quickly turned around the Dress for my trip even through it was obvious her shop had a lot of other work also needing attention. Give her a little more then 2 weeks to work on it (don't rush her like I did) and I'm sure you will be very happy with the results.I highly recommend her.
