"Our daughter really, really enjoyed the Brandy Melville alterations workshop. This was the perfect short class for a smaller tween girl who really wants to participate in her friends’ teen fashion but can’t wear clothes right off the rack because of her size. Our daughter took home new skills and already applied them to her new clothes. She gained a wardrobe tailored for her and stronger self-confidence. I would definitely encourage you to continue this workshop.
This was her second summer at the sewing school. She hopes to be back next year!"
