LES: Every nook and cranny has a tailor...

...and I found one on a block better known for it's Streit's Matzo factory.  But this tailor could probably alter the shift on the Statue of Liberty, if she needed an adjustment. His name is Mustafa and I entrusted him with my sample sale finds - pegging a hem, raising shoulders, fixing an errant lining, all on one frock for a custom-made fit. He also fashioned a form-fitting top to slip under a wedding dress - a solution for cold-shouldered brides or those who don't have time to hit the gym to banish upper arm jiggle. Embrace your visions for a catwalk strut at Laura and Melinda (named after his two daughters). You can even drop by after work - open until 8 p.m. six nights a week, open 7 days.
