I got my wedding gown at David's Bridal. I know I can get it altered there, and I was planning to do it there, until I thought maybe I'd research seamstresses. I can't find a way to search them as a vendor here so I thought I would ask if anyone knows a good seamstress for wedding gowns in NYC. Manhattan or near Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I'll also look at Yelp, of course, but I wanted to check here too. Thanks.
Also - when should I get my dress altered? My date is March 29, 2014. I was planning on going in mid or end of December but maybe early January is better? It only needs to be hemmed, create a bustle, and maybe taken in slightly.
ETA: I found Alterations Masters and The Wedding Dresser to have pretty decent reviews and some brides here have used them. Any recent experiences with those? Or any good/bad experiences with David's Bridal? I feel like David's Bridal is a crazy place with a million people and it would be better to have a quiet environment with a personally recommended seamstress.
