Dress alterations

Does anyone know of a cheap and good place to go for dress alterations? I will be getting my dress in Feb and my wedding is in March so I have to make an appointment ASAP!
I dont' know exactly what I will need done to the dress, as I don't have it yet but I definately need a bustle.

TIA

    You know what? You can go to the cleaners. We did that for my MOH when it was her wedding.

    I went to David's but that was because I bought from there.  There's a place here in Redlands.  I know some of the other girls went to people (not a store) for alterations...hopefully they can help.

    Davids was a total rip off. I know a few girls here used the Redlands place and was really happy with them. I just cant remember the name of it off of the top of my head

    Agreed,  David's was insanely priced.  I would not recommend their services for alterations.

    No way! My bustle was so complicated (I had the french bustle) that none of my girls could figure the thing out. My dress ended up getting so freakin dirty on the bottom. Stupid DB!

    It's called A & E Tailoring in Redlands.. they are a romanian couple and I heard about them here... turned out DH knew them. They were cheaper than the other quotes for alterations that I got, but I still spent $200.. but I had the french bustle and a couple more pick ups added to the front and more of the bead things from maggie sottero sewn on. Plus, my dress was really big.

    I try googling it and it didn't come up, did you mean A & D tailoring? Can you give me the phone number and maybe address?

    Thanks
