"Judith came in last minute to assist with our production of '42nd Street.' With a cast of over 50, each with multiple costume changes, things were on the verge of spinning out of control. The scope of the job never intimidated her or made her cut corners. Judith helped bring order to chaos and put in countless hours making sure everything was perfect. When the curtain went up, every chorus boy and girl was in period dress with hats, canes and accessories intact."

- John G., Director
​"Judith volunteered to sew for Sterling Playmakers production of 42nd Street and ended up as costume manager. There were more than 1000 costume pieces in the show, including several vintage pieces which were more than 80 years old. Judith was not only professional but she was enthusiastic, dedicated to her work, and inspired others to be the same. She is an individual who never stops thinking about delivering the director’s vision AND keeping within budget. As the producer, I found her to be invaluable. She brought order to chaos, focused on the right things, and let the "noise" go by. The early mornings, long days, and late nights were worth it for us all when the audience transported back to the 1930s when the curtain opened. " 

 - Gioia Albi, Producer

"Judy has designed costumes for my student productions here at Swanson Middle School in Arlington Virginia for the last two years and I must say, I am truly amazed with her work!  Judy was an unexpected surprise.  She approached me after one of my shows and asked to work with me on my productions.  Although, I must admit that at first I didn’t quite take her seriously, but she persisted so I finally relented.  Well, I’m so glad I did because she has taken my productions to another level; from thrift store finds to fully costumed productions. 

Her work ethic is impeccable, she is flexible and understands how to support the vision of the director, and what she does on a shoestring budget never ceases to amaze me! In addition, her management skills as she works with my tech student’s on costumes has also proven to be a great asset. Not only is she professional in all that she does, but she is also one of the nicest people I know and it has been an honor and a privilege to work along side her."

"Judith takes my vision and revamps it with her own creative perspective, making her services very unique and unlike any other I could have found anywhere. I find her to be very fair in her pricing and contracts. You absolutely get what you pay for!"

"I needed a quick, affordable alteration for a "bargain" prom dress purchase. In less than 24 hours, Judith transformed our beautiful dress into a fashion perfect, form fitting, princess dress for my daughter's Prom night! I know my way around the sewing projects, but Judith added a fashion element to the dress that I would not have even considered!"
