Mahin's Alterations, located upstairs at 221 G Street, is a small clothing alteration shop. The owner and sole employee is Mahin, and oddly enough, while she hails from Iran and speaks Farsi, she is known widely as the "Russian Lady." Regardless of her nickname, she has a reputation for great service and quality products. Her actual offices are very packed and full of clothes slated for alteration, which speaks for the demand for her services.
