Lehigh Valley seamstress recommendation

Anyone have a recommendation for a good seamstress in the Lehigh Valley?
I bought my dress at David's Bridal but am a little concerned that I won't be happy with the alterations there. (Or if you did get it altered there, please tell me how it was.)
Thanks for your help!

    the best decision I made in my entire wedding was having Anne Jeppson doing my alterations.  I can email you her phone number if you want.  She lives in Bethlehem and has a home shop.  Her work was AMAZING.  I went in with a dress 3 times too big, with a train, a full skirt .... and she made the dress into exactly what I wanted.  She also cost next to nothing.  She does most by hand, but is quick too.  Seriously, my #1 best decision with wedding planning.  

    Let me know if you want her phone number.  I can email it to you.

    Don`t do it in David`s Bridals!!! My gf had her dress done there and it was a disaster!!! Instead of alter her length, there made the dress more narrow, two days before the wedding!! She was furious!!!! They didn`t even apologized!!! DON`T GO THERE!!

    Can you please e-mail me Anne's number as well? I am in the same boat as the OP and do not want to give DB any more business. Thanks!

    Yes, please do send me the number! Thanks for your help!
    (And thanks for the warning about David's Bridal. I had a fear they work with so many dresses that there was the potential for catastrophe.)

    You're welcome!  I don't live in Bethlehem anymore, but when I order dresses online I always save them for a visit to my parents' and visit her to get them fitted well :-)

    I am getting a strapless bridesmaids dress for a wedding this October and really wanted a good seamstress to alter the dress so it stays up on me the entire night.

    Could you please email me the contact information too! 

    krferrara@gmail.com. 

    Thanks!!

    Hi. I know this is awhile after this message was posted but I am hoping you can still give me the number to Anne Jeppson. I do not trust David's Bridal to do my alterations. Thank you! My email is spearson@spartan.northampton.edu

    Ive got the same dilemma. I also got my dress from David's Bridal and don't trust them. Was first told alterations would cost between $250 and $300. Then was told $395. Met with a seamstress and she quoted me $400 to $500. My dress has a lot of layers (tulle). If I can get Anne Jeppson's contact info I would appreciate it so much. Has anyone else here used her services? Thanks!!
