If you know of any places that you know of that are great with wedding dress alterations, please shoot me a message! Or, if you know of any that I should avoid, that would be helpful too! I have found good reviews on a place in JAX, but if I don't have to travel that far I'd rather not.

The only one I know of and who I am using is in Jax...sorry. It's Martha Shump Designs. I know it might suck to travel, but she's great. I was in a Confederate Ball a few years ago. I had to wear a big poufy, antabellum type dress. It was a wedding dress size 10, with a bunch of beading all over it. She took it from a 10 to a 0 and had to take off all of the beads and then rebead the entire thing, by hand. She basically made me a new dress it was only $150. My dress for my wedding needs to be taken in a few inches, she's making a more dramatic sweetheart neckline, lowering the back, hemming it, and adding a pouch with my new monogram and wedding date for under the skirt. All of that came out to under $200. She really is the best in the area. (Sorry this was so long, I just wanted to emphasize how good she was, and that it may be worth it to travel--especially because she is priced really well!)

Thanks! I'll look her up. I'm sure there are good places around here, but I'd much rather take it somewhere where I feel comfortable. I want to have a lot done to mine too, so i definitely appreciate the advice!

Avoid aaa alterations- I took my dress there and all the alterations lady kept saying was that I should have bought a different dress because this one has lace overlay and it's a pain to deal with and basically belittled the dress the whole time- every bride knows when you find the dress it doesn't freaking matter if an alterations person might find it a pain it's all about if u love it or not. They also questioned why I bothered spending money on my wedding and didn't just got tithe court house!

That is terrible! I can't believe someone would say that. That is incredibly unprofessional. Thank you.
