Talented Tailors: Dashnor Begaj Mastor Tailor Is Fabulous at Replacing Zippers

Once upon a time, Peachy Deegan wore a fabulous cocktail dress.  Actually, that is many times, and it is many cocktail dresses.  And sometimes, the zipper breaks!  Even worse, sometimes the zipper breaks while you are AT the cocktail party.

Introducing Dashnor Tailoring to the rescue!  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 and repairs, so lucky Peachy!  Made-to-measure is his main business....

So, after dropping off her cocktail dress with the zipper totally broken, Peachy was pleasantly pleased when she next put it on after Dashnor had worked his magic.  It's back to normal, which is of course really back to fabulous, and ready for the next event.   He really is a Talented Tailor!
