In need of an amazing seamstress

hannxelizabeth · May 2014

My wedding is in November and I have my dress but I have no idea where I should get my alterations done at. I need things added to the dress. I'm thinking of adding cap sleeves or an illusion neckline and getting a different sash. I put a couple links of my dress incase anybody has any suggestions; I'd love to hear them. If anybody knows of an amazing seamstress please let me know! Any opinions are appreciated.

Thank you!

I recommend Attenzione by Ceil in Haddonfield. She does beautiful work! She is fairly priced, but you will probably pay a few hundred dollars, depending on the additions you want. An illusion neckline, I'm sure, can be difficult to add.

Your dress is very pretty! But I don't see an illusion neckline going onto that. I think adding cap sleeves would be a good way to go. If you can, I would purchase the fabric you will need directly from Reem Acra, so that it will match perfectly. Have you also looked to see if there is a bolero that you can just wear with the dress, instead of adding onto it? That may be cheaper in the long run.
