Camo bikini created by Cameo Cleaners

I love what I do.

Last week around 4 o’clock in the afternoon I get an email from Deidre over at Robert Verdi’s studio. They need a seamstress to take care of a fitting for Kathy Griffin at 8:30 that night. I check with Alaina my on-site seamstress and it’s a go.

The gig was all of the costumes that Kathy Griffin would be be wearing as the host of VH1 Divas Salute the Troops. Wow.

Well, there were a lot of costumes, so many that Alaina wrapped it up at 1:30AM. My hat is off for Alaina for her dedication.

I heard Kathy Griffin was quite entertaining while the fittings were taking place (as she always is).

The next day the real work started; the star of the project is a camo bikini that needed to be custom made for Kathy. Most of Alaina’s day was spent making the bikini, which came out great.

Our tailoring team got working on the rest of the costumes as we had to get them to FEDEX that evening by 8 so that they could be in San Diego the next day for the tapping of the show. No pressure.

We had three people working on everything for about 10 hours straight.

The result? Everything looked great on Kathy and she stole the show in her camo-bikini!

Cameo Cleaners of Gramercy Park can take care of any tailoring project or emergency just about anywhere. We try never to say no!

A week ago Cameo Cleaners received a call from a production assistant working on the foreign markets Christmas  commercial for cosmetic and wellness brand Avon.

The models being used in the commercial had not been fully fitted for their outfits, and the production assistant needed someone on set that was able to provide last minute alterations, and promptly.

When the shop manager finished the call he knew exactly which of his of able tailors he would send to assist on set the following day. Cameo Cleaners of Gramercy Park has two exceptional tailors both of whom can care for any and all of your tailoring needs.

The following morning Alaina Zulli was sent to Long Island City and kept very busy fixing neck details,  altering hems, seams, and other miscellaneous wardrobe malfunctions over the course of the ten hour shoot.

Even though it is still summer we are already looking forward to the holidays, so we can see for ourselves the magnificent work Alaina did.

If you are looking for a tailor or seamstress in New York City Cameo Cleaners of Gramercy Park is the place to be.

What do you do when you are nominated for an Emmy award and need a killer dress to be seen on the red carpet?

First you call fashion stylist extraordinaire Robert Verdi to find the perfect dress. You know, a dress that everyone is going to talk about after you debut it on the red carpet.

When the dress needs a bit of alterations to make it perfect, who does Robert Verdi call? And you know Robert Verdi knows EVERYONE in New York and only works with the best.

Robert’s “go to” guy for fashion “tweaks” is no other than yours truly. Robert gave me a call on Friday as his newest client, an Emmy nominated comedienne, was flying back to NYC and needed a fitting on early Saturday morning.

The first dress Robert picked by Andrew Gn was ultimately chosen to be worn, but many others were modeled just to make sure.

My job, take in a little here, fix a little there and viola, red carpet ready.

You have many choices for alterations NYC, choose wisely, not everyone in a need and thread knows that they are doing.

The alterations team at Cameo Cleaners of Gramercy Park are the best-of-the-best, that’s why when Robert Verdi needs help, he call me.

Thanks for listening, Jerry Pozniak.
