Helen is incredibly gifted and the QUEEN of qi paos. She has been in this business for a long time and her beautiful work shows it! She was so sweet and kind to me and my husband. She made us feel like family!! We designed my qipao together. I explained to her what style I wanted and she took my vision and created the most BEAUTIFUL dress! It is completely custom and fit perfectly to my body shape. We chose the fabric for my husband’s magua and she customized it to his style as well. Not only was her service incredible but the qipao and magua are amazing quality! I was soo comfortable the whole night and so was my husband. The silk she uses is beautiful, luxurious quality! Thank you Helen for making us feel and look like royalty!!!!

Helen did an Amazing job with my custom Cheongsam! I had this done for my Chinese Tea Ceremony before my wedding. I really wanted a blue fabric and we went through all the blue fabrics she had and helped me pick which one would look best on the style that I chose. I bought the dress in November, had my first fitting in March, second fitting in April, and final pick up in May. We spread everything out since I didn't need it until June and she was super busy with all the weddings getting back on track from the pandemic. She was very professional, helpful, and had a keen eye on how the dress should fit. She speaks very good English, but if she needs help, she has an associate that can assist on the phone or text. The dress came out so beautiful, form-fitting, I felt very comfortable and elegant in it on our special day!
