O MY GOD ama zing .. who is your dress maker.. Please advise..



Here's the information:

Pinina is Domincan and speaks rapid-fire Spanish and very little English.
Her daughter, Wanda, or a friend Juana, usually stays with her during
appointments to translate. I can speak rudimentary Spanish, which was
helpful when Wanda flaked out once, but having a translator is best. Rest
assured, if you bring a picture of what you want, you won't need language -
she will make you exactly what you want.

It will take her about a month to make your dress, give or take. She does
NOT like making dresses early. She works better with a shorter turn-around
time. If you want it earlier, fib and give her an earlier wedding date.

Pinina's info:
601 W. 175 St., #5A (Warning: it is a walk-up!)
175 St. and St. Nicholas Ave.
212- 923-8911
Her daughter Wanda's cell phone: 646-721-5860
Call Wanda first if you don't speak Spanish.
"A" train to 175 St.

She charges around $500 or more for a wedding dress, which includes material.

She charges around $115 for BM Dresses.



Did I read this correctly, She only charges $500 dollars???????????????????????????
