Any trustworthy alterations places in Tampa, FL?

I have a Maggie Sottero dress that I was gifted and most bridal shops will only work on gowns they sold (totally understandable). However, I need quite a bit of alterations because I'm a shorty. Anyone in the Tampa/Central Florida know of a trustworthy alterations place? Possibly with experience getting a Sottero dress altered? 

Thank you!

  • I would look in your local Tampa/FL board as well as search around Yelp, etc. :) Good luck

  • It is hard trusting something so important to someone you don't know, and just picked out of a phone book! I hand sew costuming, but I'd have no idea how to handle a wedding dress. However, I know where I'd start my search for a wedding dress seamstress in the Tampa Bay Area. Call Hardee's Fashion in Plant City. The owner is a custom dress maker, and she's old school (to me that means vast quality experience). I don't know that she does wedding gowns, but she'd for sure know someone to direct you towards. To be up front, I have no affiliation with this store. I do have a personal connection with one of the workers that does part time shifts there - also a costume sewer, and someone I'd consider as a second Mother. She also doesn't do wedding altererations, but I'd trust her opinion of where to go. Good luck finding the right person for the job.
