    There is an old post that highly recommended a couple of very inexpensive seamstresses - i think one was in the woodlands and the other was just west of that. this was back in April, I think, but well-worth digging for.

    yeah, i wasn't too amazed by beautiful U, but they do good work. they're also expensive. 

    my problem with beautiful U is that they talked me up like their going to give me special, undivided attention, but then Arlene would go out for a smoke and missed me in my dress every single time until the last fitting. She made some small suggestions and they kept my dress another week and none of the small suggestions were done (but i was picking my dress up the day before flying to the east coast, so i had no time to fix that - and the reason for the tight timing was b/c they are so hard to work with when scheduling - major attitude issues). The tailoring itself was well done, but i would not call anything about them amazing.

    I recently asked about alterations on here, and the ones recommended were:
    Beautiful U (I have an appointment on the 17th...the reviews of them were just so good I decided to go with them)
    Prestige Bridal
    Classic Tailors up near Willowbrook
    Katy Custom Bridal

    I spent some of last Wednesday calling around to get quotes but it didn't really help because they ask to see the dress before giving firm numbers.  Hence, I took the easy way out and decided to go with Beautiful U because of the reviews.  Good luck!
