Alteration Express is a team of tailors led by Irene. Each of the ladies has a specialty from high end women’s fashion to bridal alterations. Irene began her journey working for high end customers from the Pacific Palisades before moving to the Beverly Hills area. Her customers followed her and she began attracting the attention of local stores such as Armani and Neiman Marcus. They began referring their high-end clients years ago. Bridal shops such as Kinsley James and Sarah Seven also refer her services.
