they're expert seamstresses, it's a fun

time going to their house. I've known
them for at least five years, and I've
never had anything but a pleasant
experience."
Popp and Krug get style ideas from
magazines and out of thin air. "I think
in pictures, and Peggy thinks in pic-
tures. There are so many dresses in my
head still to be made," says Popp, who
listens to a customer's ideas and then
puts the dress together on paper. "I'll
show what she wants, what's going to
be really flattering, then we go
through fabrics."
At any time during the week, as
many as half-a-dozen women, plus
their children, can be found teeming
through the generous finished base-
ment of Krug's home. In one room,
small children sit on couches near a
TV. Behind a wood-and-cloth screen,
women shed their street clothes and
don taffeta and silk.
Peggendott's wholesale gown line

uses a certain lace, we won't use it
again in the religious [Jewish] commu-

community. We want everyone to

Yehudis Brea feels confident that
her Peggendott designs are unique.
The Oak Park resident heard about
the pair through word-of-mouth and
first dropped in for alterations.
When Brea's son got engaged,
Peggendott made his sisters' dresses,
altered the bride's wedding dress and
designed a gown for Brea. Krug and
Popp even came to the wedding to
make sure everything was perfect —
including applying the bride's make-
up and pulling a necklace out of
their own jewelry boxes for Brea to
wear.
"Other dressmakers we've been to
were just doing alterations," Brea says.
She also likes the quality and the pri-
vacy. "We really appreciate going to
their home. It's only women, and they

of their Orthodox customers. They
