Meet Grace
Grace has an extraordinary story, she left her homeland of Trinidad 20 years ago. She started sewing in the Caribbean since she was a child, making doll dresses. Worked in a uniform factory when she was 15 years old where she learned how to use various machines for sewing.
Grace learned the skills of professional tailoring by going to school focusing on men’s clothing and worked for a tailor in Trinidad before she came to the states.
Grace opened her own tailor shop and built skills from other Italian tailors then she went to learn made to measure men suits.
Grace enjoys fashion, singing, dancing and learning new languages.
