Hey Maine brides and grooms. Chat here about the best tips, Knottie GTGs, and wedding planning in your area.
I am new to the area and since I bought my dress in California, I need a recommendation for a good, affordable seamstress in the Portland/Westbrook area.  The wedding is 09/08/12, but I know that

I am new to the area and since I bought my dress in California, I need a recommendation for a good, affordable seamstress in the Portland/Westbrook area.  The wedding is 09/08/12, but I know that tailors can book up quickly for summer weddings, so I thought I would start looking now.
Thanks!

I second this, I was suggested Jeanne Anderson through Patrician Buck bridal but I saw horrible reviews online...and the woman I was going to use is booked through October!

Here are three that I got from Andrea's in Portland. I am using Sarah Michniewcz, and she has been fabulous so far. She's listened very well to what I want, made great recommendations, and her prices have been very reasonable. I know she's already booking through October, so I would call as soon as you can. Her shop is right in the Time and Temperature building in Portland.

2. Mary Beth Warner - Richmond, me (207) 837-4325

Bummer! The consultant at Andrea's said Betty Brunswick is great too.

Fladel Couture does great work. I have worked w/several brides maids parties as well as brides who have raved about her work.  You can call Adele, at 207 773 0007. She is very reasonable and will work with you to meet your needs. We have had a great experience!
