Custom Made White Bone used for gowns, wedding dresses, corsets.
Recently, on my long labor day trips to the garment district, I found a sewing machine repairman in the yellow pages. My trek took me to the basement of namesake designers Vogue, Valentino, and others who I’m guessing have many offices, propped with its own machine repairman – who also happens to make custom boning, and manages (supposedly) through ads on the yellow pages, and word of mouth. I have decided to help him out and advertise on craigslist his services. Let me know if you’re interested. He repairs, sells, and (re)sales new and old machines that have been tossed by the finest. This includes millinery machines. He also makes custom foots for your own stitching. Very handy for designers! In order to make this sound less like an ad I will divert you to my craigslist postings.
