Talented Tailors: Dashnor Begaj Mastor Tailor Makes Peachy Deegan's Diane Von Furstenburg Wrap Dress Wrap Right!

Once upon a time, Peachy Deegan bought a fabulous Diane Von Furstenburg wrap dress.  It is black with white french cuffs and a white french collar.  Peachy thought it looked pretty great on her in the dressing room, but alas, they did not make petite sizes.  "Oh well!" said Peachy.  "I really love this dress so I am going to convince myself it looks great on me!"  And she bought it, and she wore it, but it did not look great on her.  It would have looked great on a tall person.


Introducing Dashnor Tailoring!  Established in 1979 by Dashnor (Dino) Begaj, Dashnor Tailoring serves all of your bespoke tailoring needs and made-to-measure aspirations!  Located at 320 East 81st Street, Dashnor Tailoring lords over the Upper East side boasting clients from Jimmy Fallon, who is a regular, to Paula Zahn. Dashnor is totally delightful and personable, and he hails from Albania like the fabulous Aida Kipps, whose husband just won our writer's poll.  Dashnor then worked in Greece and Italy, and in 1998 he came to New York.  He spent eight years working on Madison for Armani, and then was in charge of tailoring for Tom Ford for two and a half years.  He does few alternations, so lucky Peachy!  Made-to-measure is his main business....


So, after dropping off her tall-person dress and trying it on to see where it needed to be altered, Peachy was pleasantly pleased when she next put it on after Dashnor had worked his magic.  He really is a Talented Tailor!
