I chose a women in the East Village to design and sew my wedding dress. She did a terrible job, and a week before the wedding, the dress was a mess. I decided to cut my losses, and took it to Guillermo, whom I'd found on citysearch. After my first terrible experience, I was wary. But I figured I had nothing to lose. I got lucky, because Guillermo is a star. In less than a week, he remade the entire dress. All he salvaged was the lace. He re-fit the entire body with new material, added a zipper, buttons, sleeves, a bow that doubled as a train, and a tie-bustle. I saw him every day that week, and he postponed his vacation in order to get the job done. He even worked with the previous designer, in order to get more lace. He exceeded my expectations in every way, and the dress is stunning. It fit perfectly, and the compliment I most frequently got at the wedding (200 people, a church, groom and ushers in formal kilts) was that the dress appeared made especially for me. Given the work, the cost was cheap. He's a couture designer who appreciates a woman's figure, and knows how to make it look good. I'm surprised by the below reviews. My dress is gorgeous, and involved intricate lace, and a perfect fit. He did it all in less than a week, and he was always courteous and pleasant. I love him.
Pros: First-rate work, fast and without an attitude
Cons: None

I have to completely disagree with these apparently jaded reviews. I have never had clothes fit me the way mine do now after Guillermo worked his magic. As someone who has never had a "butt" in trousers, Guillermo made me look like a model. Even clothes I buy in stores, he customizes and makes them look 100% better. He is quite simply a wizard. Those who had the bad experiences I would think walked in with an attitude. You cannot get good service if you are all the time thinking the price is too high. I suggest these folks limit their wardrobe shopping to Filene's basement. New York, if you're looking for the best, believe what the many articles in New York magazine say about this guy.
Pros: He will make your body look amazing
